Wow! I will never use another lender again…read more My husband and I were buying an investment property, and halfway through the process, the lender we were using provided us with a breakdown of expenses with a rate that seamed rather high to me. I contacted Rob and was amazed when he offered me almost half a percent lower! When I went back to my original lender with his quote, she told me that he must have been mistaken - that there was no way to get a rate that low. Just to be sure, I double checked with Rob, and there was no mistake. Half a percentage point is HUGE!!! Not only did he quote us the lowest rate possible, but he did it very quickly in order to accommodate our schedule of closing. He was communicative and worked late into the night to help us. I can't recommend this guy enough. He will save you money, and he is such an honest kind person. Thank you, Rob!

Above and Beyond! I…read moredreamed of owning my first home and had been discouraged by many other brokers. Joe took the time to review my documents and suggest different ways to boost my credit and or setting my finances straight. Took me a year but Joe did not drop me as his client and kept helping reach my goal of home ownership. One of many things that stuck out to me was his transparency when it came to documents requested and the overall purpose of these documents. Thanks to Joe for his amazing home my extended family and I were able to celebrate the holidays in our brand new house.

We found Joe here on Yelp, and if you think that having all 5 star reviews was fishy, you'd…read morenormally be right, except in Joe's case. He is a true rockstar for his clients! It probably took us 4-5 months to find and close on a house due to our unique requirements, and Joe believed in us all the way. He was able to qualify us for more than anyone else, and he was constantly trying to find ways to get us more money back. AWESOME! We signed for our new home last night and it's set to close today. The timing was REALLY tight because of the house we were selling, something totally out of Joe's control, but he spent the past two days on the phone, hounding the mortgage company and the escrow firm past their office hours to make sure we closed on time. He sticks with his clients through the ENTIRE home buying process. He doesn't drop out of the picture once your loan is approved like a lot of mortgage brokers. Best of all, he makes everything as stress-free as possible. What can I say? Don't look anywhere else. Save yourself a lot of time and stress. Just call Joe!

Kristine Emerson was our real estate agent on our recent house sale and the subsequent purchase of…read morea brand new home here in the Seattle area. She was fabulous and we would recommend her to all our friends and family and coworkers. Kristine is a very organized, dedicated and reliable presence throughout the selling/buying process. She was always available when we had questions and she was always punctual, positive and educated. Kristine's services are very professional. She includes in her fee both a stager and a professional photographer. She maintains a gorgeous web page with a slide show for your house. Your home will look gorgeous and be in the best position to sell quickly (ours certainly did!) Kristine has a wide network of trustworthy associates for every possibility (we needed a specialist for an oil tank - she had an oil tank guy) and I never had to go long between wondering what I would do and having the right answer. Kristine was equally wonderful at helping us sell and helping us buy. I recommend her highly!

Jeremey & Cassie went above and beyond in helping us find our home. Prior to our first outing,…read moreCassie visited every home on our tour to ensure we weren't going to waste our time with a catfish. When we found the house we wanted, Cassie & Jeremy drove the entire process & fought hard for our interests so we could get what we wanted out of a new construction- no simple feat! During the home inspection our inspector commented multiple times on Jeremy's expertise from his past life as a builder. His ability to identify problem areas + point out upgrades during and after the build really helped boost our confidence in our purchase decision. After the sale, Cassie went out of her way to get the builder to follow through on some touchups. She even recommended & arranged for a cleaner to take are of our rental when we moved into the new house. All that + safe fully navigating our homebuying experience through Covid- The next time we buy, I know exactly who I'm calling first.

Top notch at every turn. Cassie and Jeremey helped us purchase our very first home. And as…read morefirst-time buyers in a very tumultuous buyers' market, I can without a doubt attest to the care and support that they provided us throughout the entire process in the middle of a pandemic no less. They always had our best interest, always asking the right questions to make sure we were comfortable with our decisions and taking it one step further to answer our questions even before we knew we had them. Cassie and Jeremey's attention to detail and positive energy makes for the PERFECT partners to have while traversing real estate whether you are buying or selling and we are so thankful to be able to work with them.

Leah Davidson is the best real estate agent. She has long experience, knows the market, and…read moremaintains a professional attitude. She will have the best interest in mind and never let you down. We started our house hunt in Seattle from January, 2022. It was the most competitive and low-inventory housing market anyone experienced. From the beginning, Leah was very confident and patiently guided us through the process. She would make honest comments about the flaws of a property and point out the not-so-obvious short-comings. She was always available both in-person and over the phone. She never encouraged us to make unreasonable over-bidding even during the craziest market. She maintained a positive attitude throughout the process which helped us to move forward after getting rejections due to over-biddings. We were able to buy our dream house after 6 months of search. She went above and beyond to make sure the transfer process was smooth. I highly recommend her as an agent and wish her all the best.

My SIL referred Leah and said that she would sell our house and she did after only 2 days of our house being listed! Leah created action items in our client portal of what we needed to do to get our home ready ie. new carpets, patio decking. She hired a stager and a handyman as well. We moved out of our home entirely to have it properly staged but Leah would have been able to work around it either way. She was very concerned with our quality of life especially since we have a newborn baby and to alleviate some of the stress sent us a large package of entrées to help keep us fed. Our townhouse was listed on 4/9 and Leah hosted an open house on 4/11. We had multiple offers already on the evening of 4/11 and our house was pending the next day. Our family and friends were quite impressed with the staging, photos, and virtual 3D tour online. Leah kept us updated with our client calendar and that helped to keep us organized and on task for closing. We closed officially on 5/5! We are grateful for Leah and would refer her in a heartbeat. She would always communicate with us in order to verify what we wanted to do at various steps and guide us in the right direction. Her management of all relationships is gentle and kind, yet her realtor skills are firm and assertive. Leah is a top notch agent!

Aside from a few operational changes in showings, etc, we didn't experience any delays in the process due to COVID. Joie was extremely responsive throughout the entire process including adding in a last minute showing at 4pm on a Saturday for the house we ended up buying. We ended up submitting the offer on Sunday and she worked tirelessly through the weekend to get it submitted without batting an eye. In addition, Joie is very trustworthy and was attentive to our needs in a house. We never felt rushed or pushed into something we didn't feel was right for us. I believe her years of expertise and experience with real estate in the Seattle area contributed to her winning the deal for us. 10/10 would recommend to any friend or family member in the future.

Working with Joie was absolutely wonderful. As first-time home-buyers, my wife and I were so…read moregrateful to have Joie on our team. She walked us through the entire home-buying process, helped us setup viewings, gave us an amazing recommendation for our lender, and fought for us when negotiating. Even in the insanely competitive Seattle market, Joie and her team were able to help us put together a competitive offer, and successfully landed us an acceptance on the first home we made an offer for! If it weren't for Joie, we don't believe our offer would have been accepted - we were facing a cash offer 10k below our offer (20% down, 30-year fixed), and she made it happen!! I would highly recommend Joie and her team, they put YOU first, and will take the very best care of you!
