Karen is always on top of her game.

I've been working with Tommy for over a year after meeting him in a local networking group. I knew…read morehe was someone that I wanted to work with given his expertise as a real estate investor and agent. I was inspired by his personal goal of owning 10 properties and his drive to constantly level up. Tommy is great at asking open ended questions to understand what your goals are at the end of the day.He is familiar with the various neighborhoods in Washington since he grew up in the area. He recommended various neighborhoods such as Beacon Hill, Columbia City, Shoreline, Edmonds, and Lynnwood given my criterias. After narrowing down the neighborhoods, Tommy set up automated emails that sent me new listings that showed up on the MLS weekly. I was able to set time on his calendar to view 2 properties in Beacon Hill and 2 properties in Federal Way given how much I was able to afford. After these viewings, I was able to have a better understanding of what I was looking for in a home, pricing, amenities in a home, etc. Tommy is extremely responsive and knowledgeable in the real estate industry. There was never a day where he left me in the dark or didn't respond to my questions. Anyone who has a chance to work with Tommy during the home buying process will be taken care of from Day 1. I highly recommend Tommy as an agent and friend.

Shon is extremely knowledgeable of the space and takes the time to walk through every step of process.

I would recommend Shon to anyone looking to either purchase a home or refinance.

He actually worked with us through an attempt to purchase a foreclosure which fell through due to complications on the seller side, and all the way through to our final purchase of a different home a couple months later. Throughout he was attentive, professional, and patient with us in explaining details to first-time home-buyers. His attention to detail was impeccable and he was by far the most consistent and reliable piece of the puzzle as we were putting together our loan and purchase details. The most stand out piece was his responsiveness to any request. I would often receive a response within minutes, and when dealing with a seller that can be crucial. We're so happy in our new home and have Shon to thank for helping make the transaction go through. Thank you so much!

Back in May of 2009, I was just a single girl looking to buy my first house. One of my coworkers,…read moreNoel, had just bought his first house and told me about FHA loans and his experience. I thought, sure, I have great credit, my income isn't bad, and I have a little cash to put down as well, but I still didn't think anyone would want to give me a home loan and I told that to Noel. He said, "Britt, you are wrong. You need to call my guy. His name is Ron Howard, and he is THE MAN." Really, that's exactly what Noel said, and I remember it to this day, because in the end, he was right. There's no better way to describe him. I giggled when I read the other Yelp reviews here, because Alan R.'s review starts with that very same sentiment. Clearly, there's a pattern here... I followed Noel's advice and Ron and I got that home loan put together like a well oiled machine. He looked at my financial situation, explained to me my options in terms of loans, told me what he needed from me to get my house financed, and then I spent the next couple of weeks printing, signing, faxing, calling, or whatever I had to do until BAM! I was well on my way to first time home ownership. It was SO easy. The interest rate I was able to get was unheard of at the time, to the point where people I told thought that I must be mistaken. As a matter of fact, my best friend who was in the same identical financial and personal situation as I was in ( i.e. single, first time homebuyer, same job, same income, same price range) bought her house exactly two weeks after I bought mine, and did NOT go through Ron. Instead, she used her brother-in-law who was in "the biz", and got her a rate of 5.35% on a 30 year fixed. According to him, that was an amazing deal, "the best he has heard of" and the best it would ever be. The rate I ended up with was 4.5% on a 30 year fixed. We put the same amount of money down and our houses also cost the same, selling with only a $4000 price difference between the two. Fast forward to now, February 2014. Life has carried on and I'm now a married lady, expecting a baby, and looking to move into a house with more space. While we no longer need an FHA loan, our conditions are a little more complicated than they were a few years back. We make more money, but we also already own two houses and want to buy a third one before having to sell anything. I told my husband that I had worked with Ron back in the day and that I felt so confident in his abilities that I wanted to contact him again and see what he had to say. Thankfully, my hubby went along with it. I emailed Ron later that day, and immediately got a warm response, he clearly remembered me, and it was almost like reconnecting with an old long lost friend. This time, we also have had the pleasure of working with Ron's production partner, Melissa. Between the two of them, we could not be happier with our experience. They are both incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, but they are also very down to Earth and friendly, and the response time with emails or phone calls is of lightning speed. Again, we were able to go over multiple types of loans and scenarios to see what would work best for us, with some of these options being paths we would have never known existed had we not had the guidance that we did. We never felt stupid or pressured., and today, we got the news that pending an appraisal on the new house we found, our loan has been approved. Everything is just falling into place. My husband and I highly recommend both Ron and Melissa. Quite honestly, if I'm ever in the home buying market again, I will not waste my time elsewhere because I know that nobody will give us better or more personal service than Ron and his team. Ron Howard, you really are the MAN! :)
