From the very beginning, she listened closely to our concerns and truly understood what we were looking for in a home. Every question we had was answered with patience and clarity, and every step of the process was explained so we always felt confident moving forward. What stood out most was how Jen not only met but exceeded our expectations--she found us a home that checked every box on our list. Her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for our needs made us feel supported from start to finish. We are beyond grateful for Jen and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She turned what could have been a stressful experience into an exciting and enjoyable one, and we couldn't be happier in our new home!

She took to heart what we really wanted in a home while still pushing us to think critically about balancing our needs. I would describe Jenny as highly responsive (day or night, and willing to communicate in your preferred method!), flexible in making sure we were able to view homes we were interested in, empathetic, and genuinely a lovely person to be around -- which is important when you're looking as long as we were! Jenny acts with integrity and truly cares about your satisfaction when finding a new home - she's got your best interests at heart and genuinely wants your next home to fit you, your needs, and your DIY appetite! I would highly recommend working with her if you're looking for your next home. Over the 2 years of searching off and on, she became not just our realtor, but our friend.

When you think of a real estate agent/broker there are a few things you want to make sure they have…read morein their arsenal. Deep knowledge of the market, impeccable negotiating skills and someone who has a genuine interest on your behalf. Julie Hall embodies of all these qualities and so much more. Some years ago she helped us buy in Seattle, during Covid times and crazy competitive market- she made that happen! And recently she helped us sell our home for our move to the east coast. She made this happen in record time and even getting over asking. Not only did she manage the sell of our home, she even helped with the negotiations of our east coast home- she is that amazing. Allowing us the mental space to concentrate on our move and leave our Seattle home in her hands was the easiest and best decision we made. I cannot recommend her enough. She works with a very talented team- from financing to staging. She has no problem rolling up her sleeves and making things happen. I keep telling her that wherever she does, she sprinkles Julie dust and it's 100% true. Her touch is magic- let her make your home dreams come true.

I do not recommend Julie as a buyer's agent for first time home buyers, those unable to view a…read moreproperty in person, or are new to the region and climate. her best quality was assertiveness and speed to view homes and get realtor info during a market where home showings sold out before interested buyers could get in to see in person. Ultimately for our needs, the decision to work with Julie was a disaster and cost us time, emotional anguish and a lot of money. A lot. Given how anyone we tell our story to including other realtors says, "well you're not using her again! Right?" I feel it's time to share our experience. We worked with Julie for many months 2020/2021 to buy (then quickly sell at a loss) our first home. This was at the tail end of covid while travel was restricted and discouraged and vaccines were just coming online. I toured some places with her in person during visits from out of state but also virtually thinking I was saving a long drive and being responsible because Julie understood our needs. She didn't provide video tours with me but instead would describe things or send video clips. In contrast her assistant Allison gave great video tours and clearer feedback on homes. I should have explicitly asked for video tours. But I shouldn't have had to ask. I was shopping in the luxury market and even Redfin was doing them. Reflecting back, I think because Julie was remodeling her own home and enjoyed that process she was dismissive about the difficulty and costs involved in buying a home that had problems. We were willing to do some remodeling on outdated finishes or floor plans and could afford unforeseen costs so it felt okay to take some risks. But we wanted a move-in ready, watertight home without moisture damage. I explained how I'd lived in a moldy place and was sensitive. It turned out that regardless of our ability to afford correcting what turned out to be bad DIY, deferred maintenance, and poor construction, We learned that we didn't want to. our new home required 80% of exterior replaced as well as the alleged "2 year old roof with warranty" because it was void since no flashing replaced. Julie did communicate that interior finishes and quality were not great like the flooring which we intended to replace or the paint which we also would expect to change. She said she spent over five hours on the property. I incorrectly assumed that meant she had been using that time to inspect it as a realtor would to help me make an informed decision. I was incorrect. Even simply saying that she thought I should visit in person given the condition would have been helpful. If she had only opened the strange wet bar sink cabinet and described the (to be polite) DIY shenanigans or sent a photo, we may have passed entirely. It was one of many red flags. Problems were visible in person. Certainly if she had mentioned the mildew smell evident upon opening the front door, we would also have paused and likely avoided a lot of heartache. Certainly not have overpaid by as much. Ultimately, the home was borderline tear down for us after consulting many professionals, bids, and hiring an architect. for a time we thought we might choose to make lemonade out of lemons and end up with something really stunning. However the scale of project was not what we thought we were buying, even if we repaired the bare minimum. Julie regularly dismissed mold and mildew smells saying that a home just needed new carpet and paint or to "air out"; was dismissive of my concerns of the risk to buy and cost to repair and replace stucco and Dryvit siding on homes we looked at; on more than 1 occasion encouraged us to bid at or over asking on homes that had a record of difficulty selling and price reductions. One sold for about 120k under asking (after a huge price reduction already). She failed to obtain accurate parking rights information on a home that we passed up because we had incorrect information. If you expect your realtor ON YOUR BEHALF to walk completely around the exterior of a home you are not viewing in person and note for example obvious eye-level damage to Dryvit on a 1990's home (golf ball sized white styrofoam exposed) after telling you the house was traditional stucco. as well as obviously decayed original wood windowsills exposed to the Bay, broken seals, and a moldy smell upon opening the front door of a home that had a checkered sales past - find a different realtor. I could go on. This is certainly one review I wish I didn't have the occasion to write.

Deanna is amazing, and we cannot rave about her enough!…read more We had a very unique property with particular challenges that left us lacking confidence in our ability to sell it. On top of the challenging features of the property, we had moved to California two years prior to listing to care for aging family members, leaving the house empty for that time. When we finally decided our move was permanent, and it was time to consider selling, we interviewed several realtors. We felt rather deflated, as almost every one of them discouraged us from listing and told us to wait. Most did a quick Google search of local stats and said it wasn't a good time. The realtor who worked with us when we bought it wasn't even interested in trying to sell it. Deanna is the only one who took the initiative to go to the property and get a real on-the-ground view of it. She saw what the area had to offer, and that the house was a gem with two big issues that would require finding a very particular buyer (a working farm across the street, which we loved, and an insanely steep driveway). And she believed we could do it. She made a plan, gave us a TO-DO list, and assured us that this house would sell. She gave us the confidence we needed to buckle down and do the work to get the house on the market. There was some tough love on her part, when we started to lose momentum in our repair work, and when we wanted to price it higher than the market would support. That's exactly what we needed. She kept us grounded. She did some great staging of the property, and her photographer took gorgeous photos that showcased all the things that made us fall in love with the house when we bought it. She even made a photo book keepsake for us to commemorate our time there. Deanna was very realistic and did not over-promise. But she absolutely delivered!!! Our house was on the market for only 2 weeks, before it sold for cash at our asking price. She made the process of closing so, so easy. And she continued follow-up support well after closing, facilitating communication between us and the buyers in re: to personal items we had forgotten or mail that arrived late. We would highly recommend Deanna to anybody looking to sell their house. She's realistic, honest, and tough when you need direction to stay on track. And she is thoughtful and encouraging, recognizing the emotional side of selling a home where you've made so many memories. We cannot say enough great things about Deanna!

You can tell she really enjoys helping people. Now it's December, we've had the house for a few months, and she *still* checks in to see how things are going every so often. Kelley was recommended to us by a friend and we intend to recommend her to any of our own friends who want to look in the area -- we couldn't be happier with our experience!!

Their former home was a four car garage, and I thought they would never get a big garage again. They are now proud owners of a spacious six car garage and a beautiful home! I first worked with Wendi when I bought my first home in 2015. A couple months into searching, I was discouraged in this tough sellers-market. I was limited by budget and location. She taught me what to look for in a house. Galvanized plumbing? Clean crawl space? What's the attic like? Double pane windows? Asbestos? Lead paint? What are the bills like? What are the neighbors like? Good school district? Is there crime? What condition is the electrical panel in? New roof? I was tired of seeing dump after dump. After what seemed like an eternity, we found the perfect match. Two car garage rambler with private beach access to Lake Goodwin! We met at the house the day it went on the market and put in an offer that evening. I got it! She always made herself available to look at potential homes with me. This is extremely valuable when the market is hot and decent houses go pending within a day! Keep in mind I have not sold my first house as we want to have it as a rental property, otherwise she would sell it for me The second time I worked with Wendi my fiancé and I were looking to move into something closer to work. Again, same commitment. Day in and day out, willing to show you houses the same day you find something with potential. We finally found one we loved. We took a tour the day it came on the market, we put an offer in hours later, and although we weren't the highest offer, they accepted our offer that evening! She is Wonder Woman! She points out things even an engineer would overlook (because I sometimes did). If you've read this far, it's obvious I love working with, Wendi! She amazes me with her dedication and compassion to find buyers the right home. I look forward to continuing business with Wendi in the future.

We had the pleasure of working with Allie both as a buyer and a seller. In both cases she exceeded…read moreour expectations and got us the results we didn't dream we could achieve. Buying experience: Allie took time to sit down with us and understand our must-haves, nice-to-haves, and deal breakers. Even though I was pretty hands on with our search, she was also active in searching and sending us homes she felt matched our style, and more importantly, gave us her honest opinion on houses she didn't think we're right for us. She is an expert at crafting offers, helping us lock in our dream home with almost zero negotiations with the seller. Where Allie really shines is once your offer is accepted. She almost became our personal assistant, making sure everything about our move was going smoothly, from bringing us boxes, to contacting/facilitating vendors (eg for new blinds, appliances), to bringing us bagels on the morning we closed. Allie made the whole experience of buying a home as stress free as possible. Selling experience: Allie has a great eye for what excites buyers, and a solid understanding of the current market. She took care of everything, from getting our house staged, to coordinating photos, to getting painters, landscapers, and repairmen quoted and scheduled. She gave us all the relevant info we needed in order to decide on a competitive listing price, and due to her excellent insight and facilitation of open houses and handling offers, we ended up getting 9 offers and accepting an offer for 23% over asking price! I can't recommend Allie enough! Not only is she a great real estate agent, she's an amazing person that you can't help but want to be a part of your family.
