I worked with Marc to complete an off market transaction. From the first time we talked to each other, for my inquiry of how an off market sale works to when attorneys like him get involved, Marc was communicative, informative, patient, and to the point. He spent time talking and explaining things to me even when there may not be a deal. When I called again after making some progress, he remembered our previous conversation and we were able to quickly confirm next steps. He also spent substantial time conducting comp analysis with me, which I wasn't really expecting, provided referrals for services as needed, and walked me through the contract point by point per my questions. It was simply superb service. Worth every penny. I would also say that he was really watching out for our interest. In cases where we might be able to negotiate, he worked to point those out and discussed potential strategies with us. On top of that, when we ended up making decisions he may not have made himself, he quickly accepted our perspective without making a big deal of it. In the end, we successfully completed the transaction without fuss. And I would recommend Marc for anyone who has needs for his type of service. I cannot say enough good things about him.

I would like to recommend Pete Keating and team for all of your Real Estate needs. So, I recently…read morehad to give up the only house I have ever really been in love with. For me it was very difficult. Having a Real Estate Agent that cared as much about my property as I do, helped a lot with the process. Pete goes above and beyond what most normal Real Estate agents would to the extent that when a landscaper didn't show up to help with the yard, Pete and his wife showed up and helped me plant my flowers! His Assistant, Nicole, is equally dedicated. We had to vacate prior to the sale to get to my husband's new job. The first night we were gone we had a prowler. Nicole and her husband went right up there to check everything out and recharge all of our security cameras. We had a very positive interaction with Pete and his team and I would Highly recommend him and his team to anyone in the Snohomish or surrounding areas that needs to sell a home or even buy a home. If we ever need to buy in the area, we will definitely work with Pete and his team.

Catherine Arlen and her team with Windermere Real Estate have been incredible in selling our home…read more Her professionalism, expertise in knowledge, honesty, integrity and hard work ethics resulted in our house selling in only ten days for a good price. She is detail oriented and has a great deal of practical experience. She gave us wonderful advice as well as encouragement. She has a delightful personality, is enthusiastic and fun to work with as sellers and great also with prospective buyers and their real estate agents. She has a personable team that schedules everything and kept us well informed about what was happening. Additionally, Catherine has a number of contractors who are very good at what they do, reasonably priced, and keep open spots so they can be scheduled quickly. They were scheduled by the team so that our job was hassle free. We are grateful that selling our home turned out to be a positive experience, a successful financial event, and a worry-free time thanks to Catherine. We highly recommend her.

I have used this Windemere office to purchase a home in the past with no issues. This review is…read morespecific to a sale where Sherry Grimes of Windermere Poulsbo was the buyer's agent. We sold our house through another agent and started experiencing unusual challenges about 10 days into the process. Reports of the buyer's agent (Sherry Grimes) being rude and abrasive with our contractors. For instance, as the seller we paid for a pre inspection. We repaired all major issues that came up. Our inspector offered a complimentary 15 minute telephone conference with the buyer if wanted. Sherry demanded that the inspector come out for a walk through. When told of the charge she told hime that "she wasn't paying for a damn thing." Additionally she demanded that the inspector be present at a specific time and date - even though he was booked and was only given two days notice. Her reasoning for this is that it was prearranged with all four parties - except that it wasn't arranged with us or our agent (who was out of town.) During escrow she sent an email saying that our request for a specific closing date left her client feeling hijacked and was of no benefit to him. The email was very confusing as the buyer sat at our dining room table and chose a closing date with us that would benefit us both mutually. Her client was later scolded for meeting us - we invited him to meet the neighbors of our very tight knit community. He later instructed her as to a closing date. Two days later she sent out this untrue email. It was laughable as we all knew the genesis of the decision. These untruths caused tension and stress with our agent because until this moment we did not know where all of the miscommunication and untruths were coming from. The irreparable damage it caused to our relationship is inexcusable. There was no need for any of this in a completely transparent transaction. Two weeks after this transaction finally closed, we received a mass marketed postcard in the mail of our former home. It was sent from Sherry Grimes at Windemere. It read that she SOLD the home and it was a solicitation for more listings in the area. When does a mischaracterization become a lie? She represented the buyer - yes. She did not SELL that house. I did talk to the managing broker. Poulsbo is too small of a town for this behavior. As the buyer's agent, she did have the job of working for her client. While she may have thought her actions were in his best interests, her actions were bizarre and caused damage - in addition to costing us additional money. As the seller we paid her contractual commissions, so we feel like we have the right to bring these issues to light. It will be over my dead body that I allow a friend of mine to do business with her. There was just no need for this.

We love to have Larry that helping us to sell and buy our home. His experience is excellent.read more

Larry is very intelligent, extremely service-oriented, communicates clearly, always stays on top of…read morethe issues, has a sense of urgency when the situation demands, and seems to have a knack for steering you to a winning, cost-effective bid. When we decided to find an investment property in Seattle, Larry was recommended by a family friend who had purchased two properties through him. Larry has great people skills. In our first phone conversation, we felt at ease and very comfortable with his style. Like our friend, we live out of state, so when our online search turned up a promising prospect, Larry offered to go see the property for us immediately. He took extensive photos of the interior and exterior of the property so we could closely examine realistic, unmodified photos. Based on his assessment, we felt confident to fly in to view it the next day. Larry went out of his way offering to assist with logistical issues we faced in getting there. One of us, an Engineer, identified some permitting and structural concerns. Larry was quite conversant with these topics and was helpful in concluding that the risks were bounded and manageable. On his own initiative, he tapped into his network to get us second opinions and cost estimates on the issues, which confirmed our own estimates, and we decided to make an offer the next day. Larry helped us structure our winning bid, the lower of three. Similarly, he had cost-effectively helped our friend win a 16-offer bidding war in 2018. Throughout the bidding process, Larry communicated efficiently and effectively with the seller and us. Each time we sent Larry a series of questions, he would rapidly reply with answers to every single one. We closed our property less than two weeks after first seeing it. When we later met the seller, also a Realtor, she stated that part of the reason she chose our lower bid was because of Larry's close coordination and hard work. Larry is results oriented, solution focused, and has earned our trust completely. He puts his customer's interest before his own interest. We strongly recommend Larry, without reservation.

Lance was the agent for 2 potential buyers interested in our condo and we almost declined his second clients offer simply due to the fact that Lance was involved. The entire process was riddled with errors and missteps.. From numerous critical errors in the official documents and paperwork to a terrible home inspector who had made several errors which further delayed the process and nearly resulted in the canceling of the contract on our part. Our realtor also received emails from Lance making requests to buy all of our furniture and bedding with the sale of our condo. Even after all the inspections and conditions were completed and paperwork were signed on our part, Lance and his team went 2 days past the closing date which resulted in us paying an extra $300 in interest and fees, and when our realtor attempted to contact Lance about the extra expenses, our phone calls were ignored. I would recommend not using Lance in the selling or purchasing of a home,

We worked with Ryan Patrick to buy our home in Arlington last spring and he was outstanding…read more Before choosing a real estate agent, I conducted a lot of research to see who would be the best choice based on the investment they make into helping their clients (time and effort, not necessarily financially). Team Patrick stood out as the best the Puget Sound area has to offer: their organic rankings are excellent (meaning people find listings on his site easily), their social media presence was strong, and I could tell they put a lot of work into their clients. He spent hours answering our questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes are being sold in the area, how long listings typically stay on the market, and providing tons of info on comps in the area. Ryan's hard work and knowledge of what it takes to buy/sell a home really paid off. Ryan walked us through every step of the closing process. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. I've recommended the Team Patrick to everyone I know. He's a true professional and a genuinely nice guy. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better Realtor.
