I was out of state, dealing with a very complicated property that had a number of challenges, including legal/ probabte, necessary upgrades, and an RV sitting in the driveway that desperately needed to be moved before any substantive work or progress could be done. Needless to say, Matt quarterbacked all of these challenges and was an incredible thought partner throughout - even helped me find a buyer for the RV and met mechanics on-site to get it running. This was clearly above and beyond and am confident knowing that we would have had a very different, and markedly poorer outcome, had he not jumped in to help out. Being clear across the country from me should have been a formidable challenge given the above, but Matt always felt like he was my next door neighbor. In a world where everything feels much more transactional, Matt reminded me that there still are amazing contractors out there that truly care about their clients and maximizing their best outcome. If you're even considering buying or selling your home, I'd highly, highly recommend connecting with Matt. He's among the best anywhere in the US.

Two times before we finally found and purchased our property she worked until after 9 at night to get our offers in quickly on other properties.

I would recommend her to anyone, and will certainly be calling her in a few years when we're ready to do it all over again.

He was the only agent who really took his time to help my mother and I find a home. He even helped my mother with her current home. He is extremly honest and very patient. It has been difficult because a lot of people have trouble understanding and communicating with my mother because of her accent and cultural differences. He is just an all around good guy who goes the extra mile to make sure his clients best interests are protected. He did an amazing job at explaining the whole process and giving us reassurance that we were in good hands. Even though we are not buying a big fancy expensive home Scott really made us feel like we were his top priority. We are so thankful to be working with Scott Foister! I recommend Scott Foister to anyone who is looking for knowledgeable, kind, and very caring real estate agent who is going to go the extra mile for them!

I bought a piece of land up in Trout Lake five years ago and have been eager to build my retirement…read morehome there. I found Hiline and was excited because it was in my price range. I picked the 1780 home because I like the way the front looked after I got my permit and financing. I was eager to get ready. It was June 2024 and I told Hiline we can only start this year if you can get the roof on by November 1. if you know Trout Lake after November 1, the snow starts falling and it makes it very difficult to do anything. I said "if you can't get the roof on by November 1, we'll start in April". I was given a verbal assurance that they can get it done and so it began. There was a fire up there that delayed a little bit, but it shouldn't have affected my build because we weren't in the evacuation zone. It was slow going from the very beginning, but I was still assured he can get it done by November 1. The foundation went in and then the framers showed up. I was up at the property every Friday and I think I've only seen the framers once the entire time. Yet again, I was assured it will be done by November 1. there be times I'd go up and see no work done from the previous week. When I started, they told me with new Washington laws say they can't put can lights in. I walk over to my neighbor's house to look at their build and found that they were using can lights. I called the state Electrical Inspector to find out it was legal to use can lights. I called them and they said it was a misunderstanding. They're just trying to make a good seal so they can pass their door seal test. They were not willing to work with me about putting can lights in. I wanted to put a fireplace in but again they're not gonna put a hole in the roof cause they wanted to pass their test. They said they can get their guy out there to lay out the hole so later I can put the chimney in. that never happened. I made it a point not to be the reason the house build would be delayed. Septic, power,and water were ready to go. He called and told me foundation is done and it needs to be backfilled before the framers showed up. I had it done in two days. I made sure that there was no snow around the house. The streets were plowed by the county. They never made their November 1 deadline. Started to rain and snow, and my lumber was laying in the mud. The exposed wood timbers was put in place with muddy footprints all over it. I asked Hiline "is that finished product". They said "yes, you can just pressure washer and sand it." I was shocked that that was finished product and turned over to me. Part of this build was saving money by doing my own building trash pick up. I guess the workers thought they could just throw cigarettes, pop cans, and lunch trash in my bushes. I thought that was very disrespectful. Part of the reason I picked that plan was exposed wood front. If you looked at the pictures on their website or in their catalog, it showed the supports were exposed wood. when I saw the 6 x 6 treated post, I asked "Why am I not getting the nice Unfinished look". they said that's what you paid for and that the pictures on the website were incorrect. To me that's false advertising. By the way, I don't recommend the model 1780. The quality of wood they use in the front is pretty low. The roof finally got put on the eve of Christmas Eve. Two months late. in that time my house got soaking wet, the lumber was muddy. no matter what I do you're not gonna dry that out with the temperature outside of 17°. So the next three months, I did my best to dry that house out. April came around and it was time to insulate and sheet rock the house. I must give credit to the sheet rockers. They did an excellent job. I was very impressed. The house got so wet and sat, mold started growing underneath the house. I had to get under there and spray the entire thing before they could insulate. Their delays cost me money. The criticism I have with the builder is that he's not very proactive. He reacts to each situation. For example , schedule the next contractor out as soon as their schedule fits and when that contractor is done, he'll plan the next guy to come in on their timeline. which really draws out the project. He needed me to put in the microwave range vent. He called me during my work week and told me I needed to get up there the next day so that the carpenter can finish. A 2 hour drive, one way. How about telling me a week before. I could've finished up that weekend I was up there. The house build was delayed by two months. I was financially penalized by my bank for being late on the build . Again, Their delays cost me money. The county gave me occupancy to live in the house, but I'm still sanding the front because of the dirt ingrained in the lumber. Hopefully I'll be able to stain it this fall.

Randy helped me sell my Uncle's home and was helpfull. Skip a couple years forward and he is a different person. Greedy. He loves to talk about himself. He will word things that he legally has to do for you as if he is doing it as a favor. He doesn't want to sell your house he wants you to take a cash offer from him personally. When I did fire him he charged me 350 for a so called house cleaning that never happened. There was actually a new stain on the rug. The only thing that was cleaned was the bathroom. He then referred to the house as filthy. Very insulting as it was not. We had just had an estate sale and clean up crew vacuumed and cleaned up. I thought I was paying Randy for more of a deep clean as he promised and had done previously. Let's also mention the house was listed for a month with no contact from him. When I inquired he claimed to have an offer but it was too insulting to present it to me. Absolutely not his call to with hold an offer but I honestly believe there never was an offer. This man on 3 occasions insisted on trying to buy the home himself for cash low balling so he could flip it. Insulting us on small things that needed to be done to the home and that it was listed too high. Let's just say with a new realitor the home sold immediately at little below asking price no problems.

Randy is an amazing agent. I worked with 2 other agents before finding Randy and thank God I did!…read moreIm a first time home buyer in my 20s with children to parent. He was very understanding of my situation. He wasn't like the other agents who just tell you about the selling points of the property, he gives you feedback on what he sees in a home. I appreciated this because I did not want to be blindsided by repairs in the future. He went above and beyond for my family by looking up flood areas and other external issues with every home I viewed. Randy is very knowledgable and very helpful with setting up appointments. He guided me through the whole process like a big brother and is still answering questions for me (I'm a month in my home)! I was about to give up on finding the perfect home after being outbid but Randy always kept me positive. Randy helped me find the perfect lender who was able to get me a better rate and loan amount then any of the other lenders I dealt with. The lender was Jon at Guild Mortgage in Longview! He was able to give me all my options and answer all my crazy questions about percentage rates and pay off dates and differences in loans. Randy was there with me to help explain my situation and goals as well. I felt like we were a team working towards a goal but I was the one in charge of the decisions.... there was no pressure or hard selling like when u buy a car! When I finally found a home the process felt like forever (just be patient), we had so many appointments to knock out and Randy was able to set them up and explain why they were so important. I was very pleased to have so much information at my fingertips. I could not have asked for a better team to work with and I will continue to work with Randy in the future and recommend him to my friends and family... or anyone else who is as stressed or lost as I was! If you want someone who also has your interests at heart..... contact Randy right away!

I typically would hesitate to write a bad review but this situation negatively affected me in a…read morenon-superficial way as it causes me issues with my bank, and now I have to spend money to correct it. I am in the middle of getting my PMI removed from my mortgage and I reached out to my bank to begin that process. They apparently hired Ryan Robbins to do my evaluation. I needed a roughly $10K appreciation over the last 2.5 years for my primary home, as well as the $30K I have paid down to qualify. That represents approximately 1% per year. We are experiencing a booming housing market and it is inconceivable that my value is not 2% higher than it was when I purchased the home. Here is where it gets CRAZY. I purchased my home for $445K 2.5 years ago. My tax assessment is $450K. My appraisal when I purchased the home was $450K. The Redfin estimate today is $550K (given the appreciation) What did they tell the bank my home was worth? $307K! Woah! Where did that come from?? When I asked I am told there are no good comps in the area. Wrong! My neighbor (literally the definition of a comp) sold thier house last month for $415,000 and it is not only smaller but much less desirable as it has no view, among other things. (Picture attached) So rather than just tell the bank the data was inconclusive, my bank now thinks I'm $70,000 under water in my home that I've had for 2.5 years in a booming market, that I put a chunk down on! And to add insult to injury, I paid for this!!! So now I have gone backwards and I have to spend $800 on a different review. I've attached a picture of my home and a home that they had listed as MORE valuable than mine. Mine has the 3 car garage. What??? I gave them a chance to explain and they doubled down. I've bought and sold a lot of real estate and this is just unbelievable to me. Do not trust. 100% dishonest people. Proof is in the pictures.

I would not hesitate to recommend Lance McDaniel.
