We worked with Will on both buying and selling recently and he was an absolute delight. He's knowledgeable, a great communicator and really knows his stuff. Any realtor can open the door and show you the house, but Will really understands the ins and outs of homes and is really patient in explaining what a house needs, what projects you might have to do, etc. He also has an excellent Rolodex of Seattle tradespeople who can help you with the inevitable projects of home buying and selling. Cant recommend Will enough read more

This review comes to a well-deserved, top agent in Seattle and his name is Will Wilcox. Will and I met through the Amazon referred agents list, and I'm so glad we did! From the start, Will was super patient with my fiance and me - making sure that we got to tour around all of the neighborhoods in Seattle since our move from San Francisco. Within a month, we were able to close on a house with Will's help. Through the process, he was super patient and explained every step we went through - from the neighborhoods, to best high schools, to even Vastu (for Hindu-compliant home buyers). I highly recommend Will to any buyer in the Seattle area! read more

Will represented my wife and I in our search for and purchase of our first home. He was responsive, responsible, and understanding of what the process of home buying entails for a first-time buyer. Will helped us understand each step along the way, took the time to get to know both my wife and I and our priorities for a home, and served as a trusted adviser throughout the process. We felt no pressure from him at any time, and he went above-and-beyond to help us assess the market while we were out of town. Will was great, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent in Seattle. read more

Working with Will to purchase our first house was one of the best decisions we've ever made. Over the course of two years, Will has demonstrated exceptional professionalism, honesty, patience, and incredible knowledge of the Seattle real estate market and the ins and outs of home ownership. He provided support, advice, and contacts as we tried to sell an apartment in New York. During that time, he made himself available whenever we wanted to view a listing or explore a new neighborhood, even though he knew that we would not be able to buy a house until we sold the New York property. We learned so much from Will during that time because he is so proactive about sharing practical observations and advice, and NEVER tried to pressure us into anything! He actually pointed out the negatives that we would have otherwise been unaware of. When we were undecided as to whether we wanted to live on the Eastside or Seattle, Will was always happy to drive out to whatever area we were interested in with the same positive attitude. When we were finally ready to buy and found a house that we absolutely loved, we found ourselves in a competitive situation where there were three other offers. We put our complete trust in Will to create the best offer possible, and our offer was accepted! He guided us so smoothly through the negotiation and closing process, we were so impressed by his proficiency in every aspect of it. Will has a ton of resources he extended to us during the closing process-he recommended a great home inspector, consulted experts to answer all our questions about the homes we were interested in, and even got estimates on work that needed to be done. He was always proactive about advising on how we could save money and on steps we should take as first time homeowners to maintain our new home. Will went above and beyond for us and is a very special person with great passion for his work. We were very lucky to have him as our real estate agent. read more

Will Willcox was my agent when relocating to Seattle as part of a corporate relocation. From the very first conversation it was clear he possessed rich expertise, knowledge and would handle our needs with great care. Will went above and beyond particularly in my situation where I ended up under contract on a property in Seattle while still in Atlanta. His perspectives, advice and care with the contracting process through closing were of the highest quality. I would definitely tell others they would be lucky to work with Will and would look forward to do so again in the future. read more

Will was an AMAZING realtor! He was constantly finding homes that just hit the market, which is important as thngs go so quickly here. He made sure he understood my needs, and looked at homes with that in mind. He then would detail out all aspects of the home, and would do a pre-screening to ensure it lived up to the listing. From start to finish, Will was on point. I was comfortable through the entire process, and knew I was in good hands. He led me to my new home, and I couldn't be happier. Not only did I find a great house, but I made a friend in the process. If you're looking for a realtor, your search is over. read more

My family and I relocated to Seattle this past February for work. Our move happened very quickly and we were not familiar with the city at all. The first time we met with Will he acted as a tour guide, helping us to get the lay of the land and learn a lot about the different neighborhoods. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the city and was very receptive to what we were looking for. He was also very flexible and able to work with our busy schedules to show us homes... we viewed a lot! We truly appreciate Will's drive to lead us through the search in such a crazy and competitive market. He even brokered negotiations while on vacation on the other side of the globe, then once under contract, helped to push the process along to close early... thanks, Will for your hard work! We are absolutely thrilled with our new home and neighborhood! read more

Will is amazing. Highly recommended. Real estate is a trust business. For most people, a house is the single most expensive purchase they will make in their life. You want to work with someone who not only knows the market, but can give you good advice. Someone you can trust is not just trying to help you find a house, but is helping you find the right house for you. Will is that guy. My wife and I are new to the Seattle market. We were relocating for work. We spent six days with Will during three trips spanning four months. He helped us get a feel for different neighborhoods, different styles of homes, and what we could get for our money. I never felt rushed. I always felt we were doing what was right for us. Will is incredibly knowledgeable. He's spent 20+ years in Seattle and knows the different neighborhoods. More than that, he knows about houses. He can tell you about different house styles--craftsman houses, mid-century houses, etc. He can tell you about different appliances--what's basic or if they're upgrades. He can even tell you about different types of interior doors--material, finish, etc. The practical application of this knowledge is to be able to compare different options at different price points and why they are right for you. If you've seen three different houses that are all priced the same, what are the different choices that have been made in the houses that make them different. Does one have a great kitchen? If so, did they made lower design choices other places to hit the listing price point? With Will, you'll be able to get a sense for these choices and make the choice that's right for you. You can also trust Will to give you his honest opinion--when you ask. I've had a couple realtors who never gave a real opinion. They would say when they liked something, but if something negative needed to be said, they wouldn't say it. Will gives you that input in a thoughtful way... "You can do better." Once we figured out what we wanted, Will moved fast. We got beat on two properties, but won the third time. And we couldn't be happier. Finding a home in a market as competitive as Seattle is going to be a pain. There's no way around it. But having a capable agent that you can trust on your side makes it tolerable--and totally with it in the end. read more

I closed on my first home about a week ago and I am so very grateful to have had Will as my real estate agent. To start, the first two realtors I worked with just didn't feel right. As a first-time home buyer, I knew I needed a realtor I could 'click' with. I knew enough about Will to know he'd have a unique angle looking at the housing market environment. But the moment I heard him talk about his passion for homes, and the great history of his own home-buying experiences... I was sold. Looking back, Will was there every step of the way and I always felt I was in good hands. He was very professional, knowledgeable, understanding, responsive, and had a lot of what I knew I'd need... patience. Will sent me listing updates quite often and I did my best due diligence to check them out on my own. He also made drive-bys and previewed homes himself, made recommendations but certainly wasn't pushy, and was very flexible when I made tweaks to my house/area preferences. Eventually I put an offer on a house I fell in love with, but when the basement flooded on inspection day, Will was totally understanding and supportive when I decided to walk away from it. Starting anew, he made a great recommendation that ended up being 'The One'. To me, that negotiating process was intense, but Will has such an even keel I felt really lucky to have him on my side (and yep, he landed the price I wanted). After inspection he was diligent in chasing work updates, continued to remind me of paperwork deadlines, and remained flexible as changes occurred. The wait until the close date was excruciating (again, Will's patience came to the rescue) but the moment he gave me the key to my first home... moments like that are indescribable. I couldn't have been happier to have had Will be my agent. Will's professionalism, his personal experiences, and especially his character are top reasons (of many) in my appreciation of working with him. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a real estate agent. read more

Will was a truly incredible Realtor. He made my husband and I feel very comfortable about buying our first home and before meeting him, we were both incredibly nervous! He had an incredible wealth of knowledge about all the neighborhoods we were interested in and I knew that he would not let us purchase a home that wasn't in great condition. It made such a difference having a Realtor that we were so comfortable with, buying a home is so stressful and Will was always able make us feel much calmer. We started looking and was in a new house less than two months later! read more

Knowledgeable, expedient, and kind, Will has a client-first mentality. He is the best agent we have ever worked with and we wish we could employ him in every other life service we need. Phenomenal! read more

I recently relocated to Seattle and contacted Will a few weeks prior to our move date. Will was happy to help us and even managed to find us an apartment before we arrived. My husband and I couldn't be more pleased with the apartment, location and service we received. Will is the full package when it comes to a Realtor- He is patient, friendly, warm and cares about his clients. I will surely contact him again when we're ready to purchase a home and recommend him to friends & strangers. read more

My father always said, if you want to find the best person for the job, ask someone in that same line of work who THEY use. Who is the dentist's dentist? Until three months ago I was a realtor in one of the most challenging markets in my state, possibly the West Coast, and that is Malibu, California. The clients can be demanding, the properties sell for millions of dollars, and it's shark infested waters (and I'm not talking about the Pacific). After leaving that market, I know the difference between a realtor, a decent realtor, a good realtor, and a GREAT realtor. Will Wilcox is a GREAT realtor. Superb. Not only is he Johnny On The Spot, everything he does, he does with a smile on his face. He is an outstanding communicator, calm under pressure, and he knows his business. I am so, so, lucky to have been referred to him, and I know I would not have found my absolutely perfect place had he not be so on top of everything. And just to be clear, he found it at 10 pm. Not between 9-5... at 10 pm. A verbal offer was put on the table at that time, followed by a written one the next morning, and in spite of an insanely competitive market, I am now sitting in my lovely living room, in front of my fireplace, writing this review. The best thing I can say about Will is, if you have Will Wilcox representing you, you'll be able to sleep at night. read more

Will skillfully led us through the sale of our North Tacoma home this spring. He carefully researched the market in our area in order to leverage the best selling scenario for our house during a tricky market time. We ended up with multiple offers, many going above asking price. Will gave us practical advice for staging our home. He has a decorator's eye, for sure. He used a videographer to create an amazing marketing tool for our sale. He stayed on top of every detail during the negotiation of sale price and inspection items. He calmly led us through the stressful times of the sale. He had our back the whole time, every step of the way. Will is absolutely passionate about his real estate clients and about real estate in general. You will be in the very best hands when you choose him as your realtor! We give him our highest recommendation. read more

My fiance and I were referred to Will by a co-worker and from our very first meeting we felt comfortable and confident. Will definitely made us feel like the only client in the world and treated us with respect, honesty, and kindness. It was our first home-buying experience, so we were often nervous and had lots of questions. But Will led us through the process with care and grace. We could not have been happier and would recommend him to anyone! read more

After living in my Kirkland home for over 27 years, I decided to make a move to Seattle. While perusing Zillow to determine what type of home I would be able to afford, Will's name popped up as an agent that would allow me to gain entry into one of the homes that was of interest. During our initial conversation, Will was careful to gather important criteria and any constraints that would inform options in my preferred area. Prior to our meeting, I received multiple home listings that would potentially be of interest. I selected ones that I wanted to see and met Will the following Saturday. Immediately after meeting Will, I was impressed with his professionalism. When I had questions, he was quick to inform while remaining objective. His knowledge of real estate from a practical standpoint was exceptional; he was quick to point out drawbacks of properties in a factual manner, relating them to the value of the home, while avoiding becoming entangled in what could become emotional issues. A couple of months after our first meeting, I found the home that I wanted make an offer on. It had several challenges, but we talked through a purchase strategy and soon discovered that the transaction would be more difficult than first thought. The owner was experiencing a personal bankruptcy and was seeking a short sale. The trustee handling both was asking for a $50K cash payment and there was a great deal of deferred maintenance. Will was masterful in establishing a fair price and when my job became so overwhelming that I did not have time to deal with the due diligence on the home, Will stepped in and arranged/was present for the inspection. When I received advice from friends that I did not need a sewer inspection on a 10 year old home, Will insisted and felt it was so important that he paid for the inspection. We discovered a major blockage in the sewer and Will then solicited 3 bids from potential repair contractors in order for us to renegotiate our offer. Eventually we negotiated a new adjusted sale price saving me $40K on the home purchase that I later used for the needed home repairs. Will was with me every step of the way, proactively updating me on status of the short sale and always making me aware of options to extract myself from the deal, if the legal process on this purchase/sale became too difficult. About four months after placing an offer, the purchase was approved by the bank and I was able to move forward with loan documents. Did I mention that Will recommended and called a mortgage broker that was able to close my loan in 8 days?! The effort that Will put into this transaction was phenomenal. I will forever continue to recommend him and can promise a successful and wonderful experience to any of his clients. He is the ultimate Real Estate professional and I could not be happier with my purchase and the advice that he gave me throughout the process. There was never one moment when I felt that the "deal" for him was more important than my happiness. "On the flip side". At the same time I was purchasing my new home and was having a wonderful experience with Will, I was having the opposite experience with my friend of 30+years that was contracted to handle the sale of my Kirkland property. I would have loved to have Will handle both transactions, but felt obligated to turn to a long time friend who was the "Eastside" expert on my personal sale. I am only adding this perspective to act as a comparison, since I had not purchased residential real estate in many years and did not know what the expectation should be. During the first meeting with my friend, she explained to me that I most likely was overvaluing my home and I should lower my sale price to create interest. I lived in a desirable neighborhood, close to downtown Kirkland and her strategy was to list the house low and create a buzz that would run up the bids on the property. She gave me a laundry list of "to dos" and told me to call her when I was ready. By this time, I had two acquaintances that expressed an interest and wanted to make me an offer. When I presented her with this information, she told me I would never receive full value and they should place offers like everyone else. In the end, she placed my cell phone number on the listing and my phone quickly started ringing off the hook. Over the next 3 days I received over 100 calls from potential buyers and the next day received 7 legitimate offers (one from my friend). We accepted one of the offers that night for $50K over the ask (my original suggested sell price) and while I was frazzled and exhausted from all of the showing of my home, my friend had yet to spend more than two hours on the transaction. My Eastside broker spent a total of 2 hours with me and never said thank you! She called me once a couple of weeks later to let me know she would be happy to assist me with finding my Seattle home. I was so disgusted that I will never see her read more

I was very lucky to find Will. He is the most responsive realtor I've ever worked with. He was approachable yet professional and knowledgable, seemingly available day and night, for any question big or small. He was very patient and understanding of my needs and anxieties. He helped guide me through the entire process of buying a home in the competitive Seattle market, telling me what I didn't even know I needed to know, from comparing properties, negotiations, finding a title company, home inspector, all in a timely fashion, and followed through after the closing to set me up with contractors and landscapers. After several previously negative real estate experiences elsewhere, I don't know if I would have bought a home without him, I highly recommend Will to anyone. read more

I would definitely recommend Will Wilcox. He is smart, responsive, knowledgable of the real estate market, and an all-around nice guy. He helped us find the perfect home for our needs and was very patient with us throughout the whole process (we were first-time home buyers). He also went above and beyond, helping us with necessary referrals and contacts after we moved into our place. If you're looking for an agent then I would definitely get in touch with Will right away! read more

Will was highly recommended to me and I chose to use him instead of my previous realtor. He made this purchase very easy for my family. Will is very knowledgable and quick to answer any questions or concerns. Not hard to reach by phone, text, or email. It's good to have someone on your side that has the resources and connections to make this process easier. I will continue to use Will in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone! read more
