We were moving…read morecross country on a tight timeline during peak summer season, but they were pros at letting us see the property virtually, in addition to the helpful YouTube video and pictures. Armando was the property manager we were connected with, and he was great at communicating what steps came next, answering our questions, and getting in touch with us in a timely manner via text, email, or hopping on a phone call. He FaceTimed with us from the house too, which was so helpful! Now that we are officially tenants with Haven, we love how we can see everything in their online portal. With the click of a button we can submit maintenance requests, pay rent, or reference a digital copy of our lease. Thanks again for all your help, Armando!

The company made the entire process so easy and straightforward, which made a big difference as a first-time renter on my own. Since I wasn't able to be there in person, Aaron was absolutely amazing to work with remotely. He went above and beyond to help me find multiple listings that fit my budget, wants, and needs, and he even toured properties with me live over Zoom. He was always friendly, responsive, and genuinely looking out for me throughout the entire process. Even with my tight turnaround time, Aaron helped me find a great place in a timely manner and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. I'm incredibly grateful for all his help and would highly recommend working with him and his crew!

I was relocating from New Mexico, and they made the entire search so easy. Bree sent over a curated list of apartments that matched my price range and my amenity and feature requirements. She also provided information about each neighborhood, which was incredibly helpful since I was moving from out of state. The day I arrived in my new city, our other agent, Kristi, picked us up and gave us a six-hour tour of the places we had selected. Additionally, she was an advocate for us throughout the process. She asked the tough questions of the leasing agents on our behalf to help ensure we got the apartment we wanted. She asked questions we hadn't even thought of, so it truly felt like she was on our side rather than pressuring us to choose a place. She was amazing. Even before I signed my lease, I had additional questions, and Kristi was there to answer those as well. Both Bree and Kristi were fantastic. They even handled turning down the apartments we decided not to select, which was one less thing for us to worry about during a major move. Great service all around! They made relocating to Seattle and finding an apartment so much easier.

Two names to remember: MICHAEL ROBINSON and COREY MATNEY…read more Michael is the owner of this branch, and Corey an agent. Together these two guys are our "Aces in our Pocket!" Michael's expertise is amazing and undeniable! He can read and process real estate unlike anybody I've met. If you're buying, he can give you a really accurate feel for true value - and house quality. -- And he'll be totally honest with you! (Not a lot of schmoozing here!) When selling --- WOW! This is the guy for you! Again - he will be honest with you. He will tell you straight-up what he thinks your house will go for ... quickly. We have met with many other agents ... and many of them give us numbers that are "fluffy" to say the least. (If not overpriced - and I say this humbly, because as we sold our house, we had to deal with the reality of the "agents'" idea of value - often too high ... and the reality of what a buyer would pay) Michael will be up front - and may even sound a bit lower asking than other agents would encourage. But - TRUST ME - he knows what it takes to sell... without being on the market for several months (or longer!). Yet, he is still capable of hearing you out --- and totally worked with us on getting the most (the fastest) out of our home. And let's not even talk about contacts... Michael has been around Tacoma for a long time ... and knows EVERYBODY! Corey Matney worked with us (in tandem with Michael) -- he was our main buying agent. He was so on top of it with looking for houses. He wasn't stalker-ish (and don't even pretend you don't know what I'm talking about!... some agents are just flat-out creepy and annoying!). He understood what we were looking for - price, size, and motivation. This Windermere office has my highest respect -- and we've worked with A LOT of different agents/companies/offices! I - as a rule - have little time or respect for real estate agents (I know ... that's pretty rude of me), and I don't give out respect freely without it being earned -- so, the least I can do it throw up a YELP review! Give them a call -- and hear them out!

Working with Krystal was one of the most frustrating experiences we've had in real estate. The…read morelisting itself was riddled with errors -- repeated photos, misspellings, and sloppy attention to detail that left us embarrassed compared to other homes in our neighborhood. As those homes sold, Krystal failed to recognize the market trends and instead deflected blame onto us for "starting too high." Setting the right price is one of the most fundamental skills of an agent, and her inability to do so highlighted a clear lack of expertise. Rather than giving us a data-driven strategy or straightforward advice, her communication was consistently dismissive -- more about making us feel like we should "be grateful" for services provided than providing the facts and guidance we needed. Later in the process she asked us to make changes -- from removing items to taking down wallpaper -- thing that should have been identified at the start. She was satisfied with mediocre photos of our home and various spaces until we stepped in and took our own. Worse, she allowed the seller's agent to contact us directly to pressure us after we decided we would not extend our contingent offer. When we told her we no longer wanted her representation, she refused to release us from our buyers agreement, effectively preventing us from pursuing the home we actually wanted. If you're looking for an agent who is professional, looks out of the interest of their clients above their own, detail-oriented, and willing to take accountability, look elsewhere. Our experience with Bowie was extremely disappointing. After inviting Bowie and Krystal into our home, we were told there was a serious buyer interested in our property, on two occasions the buyers "last minute cancelled". Despite that, we were told that we were still in a prime time to put our home on the market. _______________________________ Bowie was essentially absent from the process. Although supposedly part of the "marketing," we had three open houses and not a single private showing during the first three weeks as our home was on the market for over 60 days. When we asked about refining the marketing to address consistent feedback, we were told Bowie would look into it, but we never heard back. Even worse, Bowie and Krystal frequently spoke negatively about another listing they represented in our neighborhood, telling us those owners were "more difficult" and that buyers were being pushed our way instead. This was unprofessional and DEEPLY concerning. When we questioned why our open house wasn't promoted on their Instagram page--despite every other listing being posted--he rudely dismissed us and said they had "already done everything" possible to sell our home. Bowie then cancelled our open house as we had only 11 more days to sell our home before our contingent offer expired. Bowie's words may sound convincing, but his actions proved the opposite -- unreliable, dismissive, and ineffective.
