If you're only scanning over reviews then take away this simple fact: Roy Towse is the agent you want to work with. I say the same with unwavering certainty to my closest friends and family. I hope you'll read on to learn why. As first-time home sellers, my wife and I didn't fully understand just how important it is to have the right agent. After working with Roy, we've experienced firsthand the value of having such an exceptional agent, and in a single transaction he has earned us as customers for life. Roy is unwaveringly professional, yet personable and funny. He's polished, but never pretentious; confident but never cocky. He works with urgency, but with a relaxed demeanor that helps alleviate stress. He's diligent, yet never pushy. He's endlessly knowledgeable, yet shares that knowledge freely, and in a way that's easy to understand. He's a powerhouse business partner, but feels like a friend. From his seemingly endless knowledge, to his unique expertise in the highly competitive Seattle-area housing market, and the plethora of tools he offers (like his Compass Concierge program and Compass Collections mobile app and website), Roy has every aspect covered with excellence, which gave us tremendous confidence throughout the listing and sale of our home. Lest I go on and on, I'll close with this: If you need an agent, do yourself a favor and talk to Roy - you'll be glad you did. read more

Roy is a true professional. He is up to date on market trends. He was spot on with pricing our home and knew exactly when to put our home on sale. Before meeting Roy we were wondering if we should sell the home ourselves. We are glad we opted for Roy. There were many hurdles along the way from snow storms, fallen tree to a toddler running crazy on the upper level. He proactively took care of all issues. He was always the first to call and give me an update. I was truly blown away by the strategic plan he came up with to sell our home. He helped us in getting a contractor to repair our home. Then he took care of the professional photography and staging. His team did a wonderful job scheduling different vendors. The timing couldn't be more impeccable, we were able to list the home within the time frame we initially planned for. Once listed, he took care of the open house and marketing. The icing on the cake was that he was also doing social media marketing for our home. I did not know of any real estate agent making use of social media marketing to sell a home until I met Roy. Thanks to his aggressive marketing our home got a lot of exposure and was sold in a quick time. I would highly recommend Roy for your real estate needs. read more

Roy Towse was professional, responsive, and very knowledgeable throughout the process of selling our home at 26224 SE 40th St in Sammamish. He took the time to walk us through pricing strategy, market comps, buyer expectations, and timing, and he always explained his reasoning clearly. Even when we had different views on pricing, Roy stayed patient, respectful, and data-driven, which I really appreciated. I also want to recognize his team member Emily, who did a great job coordinating and managing the house renovation work before listing. She was organized, dependable, and helped make a potentially stressful part of the process much smoother. The preparation of the home was important to the sale, and Emily's efforts made a real difference. What stood out most overall was the team's professionalism, honesty, and commitment. Roy gave candid advice based on market conditions and comparable sales rather than simply telling us what we wanted to hear, and Emily helped ensure the home was well prepared for the market. Selling a home can be stressful, but they made the process much more manageable. I would recommend Roy and his team to anyone looking for an experienced and professional real estate group in the Sammamish area. read more

We had the pleasure of working with Roy & his team to successfully sell our home after a previous attempt with another agent did not go as planned. From the very beginning, Roy demonstrated exceptional market knowledge, strategic insights, and professionalism, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Roy's expertise in pricing, marketing, and negotiations was evident throughout the journey, ensuring that our home received the right exposure and attracted serious buyers. He provided valuable guidance at every step, keeping us well-informed and confident in our decisions. A special mention to Emily, who was incredibly proactive, detail-oriented, and communicative. She ensured that everything was handled efficiently, from scheduling showings to managing post-sale matters. Even after the sale was completed, she went above and beyond to assist us with any remaining concerns, showcasing their commitment to client satisfaction. We highly recommend Roy & his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Their dedication, expertise, and outstanding service truly set them apart. Thank you, Roy & team, for making this a seamless and successful experience! read more

I have known Roy for 13 years and recently had the pleasure of working with him to sell our home in Sammamish, WA. He has always been a kind individual but we were blown away by his professionalism and expertise as a realtor. Roy has a fully adapted team to help with every part of the selling process, he is realistic, honest and optimistic about the opportunities, and was available for our questions or concerns 24/7. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor, as my family felt very taken care of through the whole process. Don't let our long standing acquaintance sway your opinion of my review. We have had close friends work with him in the past and they will vouch that Roy is genuinely caring, compassionate, and empathically invested in his clients. read more

We had an awesome, joyful experience in buying our new home and selling our old home with Roy and his team for the following reasons - 1. Roy took the time to really understand our needs, being patient and helping us sort out what we really wanted 2. Roy was always relationship focused, friendly, genuine and never ever transactional. He never once pressured us to move forward with something that we weren't 100% sure 3. Roy and his team went beyond our expectations with pre/post sale services to help us with home improvements at our new home and our old home. 4. Roy worked his magic in negotiating the price of our new home and was simply masterful in helping meet our somewhat 'Hail Mary' expectations of price when we sold our home read more

Roy is the embodiment of what a Real Estate Agent should be. We met Roy at Crossings at Pine Lake where he managed sales for many of the properties that were sold there. Almost instantly we felt at ease with him and felt he was someone we could trust. Needless to say he didn't let us down. Throughout the pre-sales process of our new home and the construction phase he was a great advisor and looked after our needs. Roy is also a very nice and likeable individual which was very important to us through a long process, that as many of you might know, has its ups and downs. The surprising added bonus is that he and his family eventually became our neighbors :-) I fully recommend Roy to anyone who's looking to buy or sell a home. read more

Selling a house can be very daunting and in a pandemic- even more so. Roy was the person we leaned on with complete trust to sail us through this experience. Roy's unparalleled experience and knowledge of the real estate market, charming personality and amazing listening skills made him the ideal realtor (and now friend) for us. He had some great advice for us to get our house ready for the market in a week with his amazing team. The whole experience seemed so smooth and effortless- I would recommend him to anybody that is looking for a dream realtor to help with their sale or purchase. With Roy's business acumen- we sold our house at a great price and had the best experience overall. read more

Roy and his team (Melissa) were truly remarkable to work with. We had a series of difficult personal challenges during the selling process and Roy and Melissa went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. They took all the stress of selling a home and finding us a new one (that we absolutely love) off our shoulders. They made us feel like we were their highest priority at all times. The exceptional level of communication and attention to detail were exactly what we needed throughout the process to make us feel confident and comfortable. They are not only great at what they do but they are exceptional people as well. We are so appreciative and can not recommend them enough. read more

Roy and his team are simply incredible! Knowledgeable, helpful, and patient - he goes above and beyond expectations every time to make sure your home buying/selling goals are achieved. We sold a house with Roy back in 2017 and just worked with him again to buy a home in December 2021. Hands down the Sammamish-area expert, if you're looking to buy or sell on the plateau Roy and his team should be your first and only call. He cares about each and every unique client as if they were family, and makes the real estate process pleasant and enjoyable. Cannot recommend them more energetically!! read more

Working with Roy has been a breeze! From my 1st conversation with him until the last- Roy has been simply superb! He figured out exactly the kind of home we wanted, was always available to show us the homes and guided us very well with the school districts we ought to look for. Relocating from Texas- we were very lost in how to purchase a home in WA. But he made us feel every bit at ease. His team is equally efficient and made this whole relocation process very easy for us- right from communication via phone/email and paperwork. I highly recommend him for his high quality of work! read more

WOW! After owning my first home for 15 years, I thought that it was going to be a hard and sentimental process selling it. Not only was Roy (and his team) there for me every step of the way, but once I sold my home for more than I was expecting, it made it much less sentimental. I noticed that my neighbors, who listed at the same time, are still trying to sell their homes. With the abundance of marketing, staging, and attention to detail that Roy provided - my home sold in just a couple of months. There is a reason that Roy has so many great reviews - he is simply the best! read more

Roy did a great job as our sellers AND buyers agent. We dealt with many adverse people, situations and barriers to selling our home and he handled them all very professionally. He's selling more homes than in anybody else in Sammamish for a reason. He's an excellent communicator not only with his clients, but with the other players in the deal. When selling a home, you will spend a lot of time talking with your agent. Roy is someone that I really enjoyed working with and getting to know. Highly recommended! read more

Roy came to us highly recommended by our agent that we worked with on the purchase of our new home in a different city. He is excellent to work with, very knowledgeable about the area, friendly and kept us up to date with what was happening at all times. We have already recommended him to other people in our neighborhood and will continue to do so. He has a great supporting team also. We needed a quick turnaround on the sale of this home and he made it happen. If we could give him 10 stars we would. read more
