Vicki is a joy to work with. Friendly, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented. I recommended her to two of my cousins and saw both ends up buying properties with her. She walked these very nervous, first-time buyers through the complex details with grace and charm. Our family can't recommend her services highly enough. She's the best!

We were so happy that we found Andrew. He was very professional and knowledgeable on the area. He explained the process really well and guided us on each phase of home buying. He responds fast whenever and where ever he is. He also helped us realize what we really wanted. Overall, we are extremely happy that we've worked with Andrew and will use him again next time.

Doug was recommended to us by a friend that had worked with him previously and we can understand why. We would highly recommend Doug to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Seattle. Doug took the time to understand what we were looking for in a home and worked with us to find the perfect match. He was very responsive throughout the process and was never impatient with all of our questions and indecisiveness. He has extensive knowledge of the city's neighborhoods and a good sense of the current state of the market. Bottom line - highly recommended and we wouldn't hesitate to reach out to Doug again if we need an agent again in the future.

Doug was an invaluable resource during our home search and continues to be a huge help as we plan a major remodel in View Ridge. Relocating from Ohio, my wife and I didn’t know individual neighborhoods well or the amenities that came with, but Doug quickly got us up to speed, identifying the pros and cons of each location. And we certainly didn’t fully understand just how competitive the Seattle market was. Doug clearly explained the tactics necessary to compete in multiple offer situations when we chose to do so. He also wasn’t afraid to recommend against certain homes if the value wasn’t there. In the end, our home search took much longer and was much more exhausting that we would have ever thought possible. But Doug never wavered. He was our steady hand in the process and I can’t imagine going through something like that again without him!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience selling our home with Andrew. His expertise got us top dollar for our home. The whole process was smooth and straightforward. We already have recommended him to friends, and will continue to recommend him to anyone looking for an agent.

Andrew is an incredible partner to have in the home buying or selling process - and we've used him for both! Most recently, we sold our Ballard townhome, which he helped us purchase three years prior, and the process was seamless from start to finish. We trusted Andrew's market knowledge and experience to help guide our decisions when it came to listing time, price and offer reviews. He went above and beyond to help with staging and photographing the home, even bringing in pieces he personally owned to round out the space. We had an amazing experience buying our first home with Andrew's help, which was mirrored in our selling experience. We can't recommend him enough - thank you Andrew!

"My husband and I worked with Andrew this spring and summer to buy our first house, and we're so glad we did. Not only was Andrew patient and knowledgeable with all of our questions throughout the process, but as a King County native, he knows the neighborhoods and the housing market inside and out.  He was extremely responsive to us and we always felt he had our back. In addition, he has a previous background in construction, so he could give a knowledgeable eye to the shape/quality/value of the house itself and issues that may arise. This was invaluable. He also recommended our lender to us, and the closing process went smoothly and was on time. We couldn't recommend him more highly. We will definitely work again with Andrew in the future."

Steve is a real estate wizard. He took the time to understand what we were looking for, collaborated with us on choosing places to tour, and in the end, he was the one who actually found us our dream home. It was a property that was going to go quickly, but thanks to Steve's guidance, we were able to put in a competitive offer and get it accepted. Of course, Steve did not stop there! As we are first-time homebuyers, he guided us through the process from start to finish. He made sure to connect us with professionals ranging from our mortgage loan consultant to our insurance agent to our electrician. No detail was too small for Steve - from poring over condo bylaws to following up on an old boiler's warranty. He was even the one up on a twenty-foot ladder changing our lights for us in our new place on the day we picked up our keys! Steve brings years of experience with this market, a ton of expertise, and a serious dedication to finding clients the right home for them. Plus he is great to hang out with on house tours! We have already referred him to our friends starting the homebuying process and we can't recommend him highly enough.

Zach is very resourceful. He helped my family to buy a house we like without paying over asking price. We are very thankful for his hard work. He was always on top of his work. I strongly recommend Zach to any buyer.

Andrew came highly recommended to my wife & I by a few different friends. What initially caught my attention was his background in architecture & construction. As first-time homebuyers, having his experienced eyes on our potential homes helped us understand what types of projects would be the ones we'd want to take on versus the types that we didn't want to get involved with. Beyond his experience and knowledge base in these areas, strictly as an agent, he proved to be a very professional high-level performer. We never had problems getting in touch with him, and never felt that we were in the dark with any steps in the process. When we wanted to make an offer, the turnaround time from that decision to the moment we were e-signing was rarely longer than an hour. We did end up looking during a time when he had a vacation scheduled (yes, even real estate agents have to get away!) but he lined up exceptional coverage for us during that time and we can honestly say that it didn't hinder our search at all. Though we were looking to buy a home during the slowest time of the year (November - December), we could tell that Andrew was very accustomed to the competitive nature of the Seattle market. He knew what strategies would make offers look appealing while staying within our parameters. It also meant a lot to us that even though we were looking in a price range that is lower compared to most of Seattle, the attention that Andrew gave us was exceptional. We looked at numerous homes in a last-minute fashion, and Andrew was as eager as we were to find a time to make appointments like those work. I think it's also worth noting that he worked very smoothly in tandem with our mortgage broker, making sure no details were ever lost. Especially after talking with other friends who have been through the home buying process, we could tell that we had been working with an all-star. We would absolutely work with Andrew again whenever we make the decision to buy or sell another home.

Andrew was excellent to work with. He took us on as clients with short notice and worked with us to get our home ready for market in short order. He was very professional and knowledgeable and was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. He marketed and priced our home expertly which resulted in a fast sale for more than what we were asking. The process was seamless and I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone selling a home in Seattle.

Andrew was contracted to market three HOA-owned units in our development, which he completed to the unanimous satisfaction of the board. I worked directly with him on setting prices and scheduling the sales and his experience and expertise were compelling and confidence-inspiring. He was not bashful about what he thought was 'the right approach'. What was particularly impressive about Andrew is that he was never 'out of touch' and never unwilling to 'take care of issues'.

We were paired up with Andrew through a Zillow listing and he was a tremendous help to us when we were searching for our first home. He is very knowledgeable about the area, the current market and also has a background in construction which proved to be very helpful when touring properties. He was super accommodating with his schedule and met us on evenings and weekends to tour different homes. My husband and I would absolutely work with him again and we will happily refer our friends to do the same.

We met Zach at an open house and he made such a positive first impression that we immediately decided we'd like to work with him. As first time home buyers we had a lot of questions, and he was able to walk us through everything perfectly! Zach ended up finding an awesome place for us that met all of our criteria months before it would have been listed. Thanks to this we were able to have our eventual offer accepted without any hassle (prior to a bidding war or price increase). The process of getting the offer in, negotiating and eventually closing was dealt with by Zach masterfully. Throughout the entire process we had a perfect level of communication. It didn't matter when we called Zach or why, he was always super responsive and able to sort out issues we had immediately. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with the experience. I would highly recommend Zach to any of my friends, family or strangers looking to buy a home!

Very knowledgeable and helpful with the listing. He has his own team for staging the property. He and his team have made the process very smooth and painless. Thank you.

Sarah is so friendly and responsible person. She is so easy to communicate. She is so organized all the information about houses. We had a great experience with her.

Amazingly positive experience with Steve as our realtor. He is available at a moments notice and willing to do all the deep digging with you on a property. We really valued his expertise while purchasing our home in Ballard. Highly recommend him as a real estate agent!

Working with Jenny on the sale of my condo was exceptional. She was very quick to respond to anything I needed. Her knowledge and attention to detail were amazing. Real Properties is a fabulous team!

Andrew is a very hard worker. We are very happy we found him. We bought our ideal house with his help even though we do not live in the area. He would send us very detailed videos of the properties we were interested in on a regular basis. He was very patient and honest with us throughout the entire process. A big plus is that he is originally from Seattle so he is very knowledgeable of the area. He is extremely responsive and detailed oriented and knowns the process. We highly recommend Andrew if you are interested in buying a property in the Seattle area. You won’t be disappointed.

Andrew is a very impressive professional. He fully informed himself about the building in which my unit was located. He made suggestions about repairs, painting, etc., and scheduled all the work with reasonably priced providers with whom he has worked. Once the unit was listed, Andrew worked tirelessly to conduct Open Houses and showings with other agents. When a buyer appeared and an offer was made, Andrew was very skillful in dealing with the buyer's agent, negotiating to clear inspection items, and working with the buyer's lending institution to provide additional information. Andrew was very patient and kept the buyer fully informed. This led to a successful closing. I would highly recommend him.

Andrew went out of his way to accommodate any requests that I had. He had the breakdown of average home prices and surveyed my house within 24 hours to give an estimate of the selling price. Throughout the process Andrew was in constant contact and gave timely updates. He helped me through the process as painlessly as possible, I would definitely recommend to anyone out there looking to sell their home.

As a first time buyer I couldn't have worked with a better realtor than Andrew. When I first met him I knew immediately that we would work well together. He is pleasant and personable and handles all matters in a professional manner. Andrew is straightforward and knowledgeable and communications were always prompt and easy. He was honest and forthright on all my questions and issues. Because of Andrew my contract was the one that was accepted. He handled the negotiations with skill and diplomacy and in this hot market that is invaluable. You just can't go wrong with Andrew. I would give him 6 stars if I could.

Zach is great. He provided a plan after our first meeting, a list of different companies to help get our property in order (painting, carpet, etc.), and accessibility. Overall, he did a great job selling our property from logistics to pricing.

Working with Zach was great! He sold our house the first weekend it was listed!! He helped negotiate a higher price than we anticipated and made the terms of offer sweeter as well. Zach was very quick to reply and kept us informed every step of the way. I highly recommend using Zach to sell your house.

Ryker knows his stuff and is very professional in how he goes about service. He is knowledgeable through the end-to-end home buying and selling process and has much experience in the buying process, renovation process, and in real estate investment in the greater piglet sound area. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryker to anyone looking for a home, investment property, or any other real estate services.

Doug worked with me to sell my Ballard Condo and I was blown away by the amount of work he did on my behalf, the sound advice that he gave, and the knowledge and expertise he brought to the process. Because of Doug, I am certain that my Condo sold faster and for significantly more money than I could have ever done without him. On top of that, Doug made the process fun and gave me confidence at every step.

Heidi was there when we needed her. She was actually showing houses at another location when we called her. She came over, showed us the house, and we put an offer in that night!<br/><br/>Heidi assisted us with all the paperwork and did a great overall job!

Jennifer helped throughout the process of what was an "as is" estate sale home, from the point of readying/clearing the home for sale, to swift listing, showing, evaluation of multiple offers & closing. She was resourceful with great contacts to help us complete some estate property clearing, plus deep cleaning the home and extensive landscaping/clearing. What was very important for us was having a realistic eye with recommendations of what to invest in before listing the home - a reality check on things like whether or not to paint, etc. I am confident we struck the right balance there, with her help and suspect I would have wasted effort/expense on actions that ultimately were not necessary for our specific scenario. She was always open to help me run down things at the house, to open it up for pick ups, etc., during this part of the process, which in my case, living 45 minutes away, was extremely helpful. This is clearly beyond the call of duty. Thanks again very much Jenny. In evaluation of the offers, we also had to keep an eye toward the associated risks of an older home, owned by our family since 1968, that had been unoccupied for approximately 2 years. We benefitted from the excellent market, and ultimately were able to close quickly with a cash offer - very important to our specific situation with an estate. The house was open for showing and open house activity over the weekend for any offers to be received and reviewed on Monday night. Jenny reviewed them with us, helped us with title questions as we got the estate attorney's review, counter offered, and had mutual acceptance by Wednesday afternoon I believe. Our closing was complete in less than a month from the initial listing (and over the Christmas holidays). Overall, we appreciate Jenny's help and would recommend that you see her when the house has completed its renovation by a professional builder! We are confident it will be a beauty again.

Andrew was extraordinarily helpful to us, as first-time homebuyers. He walked us through the process (several times), and was always available to answer questions and provide explanations throughout. He is knowledgeable, professional, respectful and honest. We can't imagine a better agent to help us through buying our fist home!

We got the house and I will recommend Zach to others. I put 4/5 for few reasons: - punctuality - happened few times - many times I needed to ask rather simply being told about the details or shape of the house. Once asked I always got the right answer - presence - 100% decent and proper but lacks when compared to some other agents you meet We got the house thanks to the idea Zach had and proposed to us. I was always happy with his knowledge and help. He made our purchase process as easy and simple as possible.

Zach did a wonderful job; he was professional and very helpful. We were grieving the death of my mom and he was very understanding and caring. He brought us the highest possible price (above asking price), kept us constantly updated and was with us every step of the way. He immediately responded to any questions I had. I will use use him again and would recommend him without any reservations.

Andrew stands for 3 words - Diligent, creative, professional and it is no coincidence that his webpage states the same. Andrew spent adequate time in the initial stages of the search and provided us with many creative ideas to make great use of the space available in a home, especially when it is not staged. He was available 24/7 to answer questions via email, text and also to meet in person to tour a home. He was very encouraging and supportive in this competitive Seattle market especially when we lost closely on some bids. At the end of a 6 month search, we were happy buyers and it is safe to say he has become a good friend of ours in this process. We will highly recommend Andrew without any hesitation.

Andrew was fantastic!!! He was professional, answered endless amounts of our questions and did a stellar job. His strategy for selling our house worked perfectly and we sold for significantly over asking and had 8 offers to choose from. I was so incredibly impressed with Andrew I would recommend him without any reservations to my friends and family.

Stephen Boyd's financial background, sincerity, and honesty are compelling in the real estate market. Stephen Boyd is your go-to guy who listens to what you want and provides ideas where there are gaps. I recommend using Stephen Boyd to buy and/or sell your home.

Zach McDonald expertly guided me to my new home during a very hyper real estate market. From my first phone call with him, I was impressed by his professional, friendly approach. He helped me identify my needs and respected my financial constraints. He listened to my likes and dislikes and used the information to help narrow our search. Zach is knowledgeable and easily answered most of my questions. He promptly returned my calls and text messages. We looked at many houses before I settled on my new home, but the process was easy and enjoyable. I would definitely use Zach as my agent again, and I plan to recommend him to family and friends.

When my husband and I decided we were ready to get serious about buying a house, we still didn't have an agent. We met Zach by chance at an open house. We had met quite a few real estate agents but Zach stood out. He's very down-to-earth and not pushy. He was great throughout the whole process, always responding quickly and taking care of all of the details. Even now that we have closed on our house, he's still answering our questions. I would recommend him to anyone.

Andrew was a true professional, from our first meeting through to getting the keys. He listened to our wishlist and helped us build it out based on the (many) properties we viewed. His experience in construction and eye for design also were invaluable in identifying not only what each house was, but what it could be. He took time to get to really understand our preferences, recommending and encouraging us in going through many different houses and house types and tracking our preferences beyond what we would have identified ourselves. This made identifying "the" house an intuitive and easy decision.

We were new to Seattle and first time home buyers and could not possibly have understood what was going on in the market here. Andrew was patient with us as he taught us everything we could have possibly needed to know. His history as a high-end contractor was invaluable in "looking under the hood" at each house we would visit. Andrew made himself available at all times of the day or night to make sure we could act quickly on homes of interest. And even in the middle of the night, Andrew was extremely professional. We cannot recommend Andrew more highly!

Jenny was actually the sellers agent (I was buying) but she was such a pleasure to work with! She was in charge of making sure all open permits were settled and closed with the city as agreed upon, and even after I purchased the home, she followed through very quickly on her commitments to ensure I was satisfied as the buyer. She was very responsive and addressed all my questions and took her job very seriously. I highly recommend working with her!

I worked with Andrew for a while to make sure I understood the home buying process given that this would be my first home purchase. Andrew was responsive, very knowledgeable with the market in the area and always addressed my concerns and/or questions.

My husband and I could not have been happier with our decision to work with Andrew to purchase our first home. It was important to us to find a realtor who had deep local expertise, and who would help us to be successful in the competitive Seattle market without significantly overpaying; Andrew exceeded the bar in both those dimensions. He helped us to successfully purchase a home that we feel is a really good value and that checks all of our boxes. With his extensive background in residential construction/architecture, Andrew was extremely valuable to us as we evaluated properties that needed work done in order to determine whether each house would really be a realistic option for us based on our skill levels and budget. Despite what felt like a daunting real estate market as first-time buyers, Andrew made the whole process easy to understand and as stress-free as possible for us. He is super friendly and responsive, and we would highly recommend working with him to buy a home! We're very glad we did.

Doug was the agent that helped us with the purchase of a bank owned condo. He was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, and very quick to respond to all our first time buyer questions. He spent a lot of time with us, showing us a variety of property options and was really interested in finding us the right fit.

Very purposeful and knowledgeable about the process. He helped us know where to focus our energy in preparing our property for sale and also helped us find an amazing house that we love and will be able to live in for many many years. He was great at resolving issues as they came up. Very responsive. He was great at answering our questions and moving at the pace that was comfortable for us.

Andrew was a fantastic agent for us. Beyond being a genuinely nice guy, Andrew helped us get our house on the market very quickly. He even had numerous connections to help get the house ready including painter, yard work, etc. I would definitely recommend Andrew to anyone.

Andrew was fantastic to work with! He clearly understood what we wanted in our new home. He was very patient and was always concerned about meeting our requirements. He always provided honest comments about each location, both how each place would meet our needs and what concerns we should have. With only a few trips from California, we were successfully able to purchase a new condo in Seattle.

Jenny went over and above for our house sale! Jumped in to help organize everything, even helping to clean our bonus space. Her open houses were friendly and she gathers the most information on a property to get it sold. Very knowledgeable and walks you through every part of the sales process. Always honest and forthright.

I cannot say enough great things about Jenny! When I started the process of selling my grandmother’s home, I really had no idea how the process would go. Jenny was patient and very communicative to help me understand and make things as easy as possible. She is very kind and easy to work with. Any time I had a question, she was able to answer it or point me in the right direction of who to ask. I’m so grateful for how smoothly she made things go! I highly recommend Jenny to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

I've known Andrew for many years, so when it came time for me to buy my first condo I decided to offer him the job, and I'm very glad I did. Andrew made every effort to make sure I was comfortable with and aware of everything that was happening at every stage of the process, as well as what to expect next. When we first started looking at properties, he very quickly picked up on what I was looking for and the listings he showed me just kept getting better and better. <br/><br/>When I did decide to make an offer Andrew was exceptionally prompt at getting it put together and submitted. He expertly leveraged his knowledge of the market, as well as his background in architecture and construction to ensure I was getting a good property for my needs at a good price. His negotiations were also stellar, figuring out ways to get me the best deal while still making it a competitive enough offer that the seller wouldn't walk away. Will use again.

Doug Holman is an exceptionally experienced, conscientious and service oriented real estate professional. We were trying to list our home when an unusual predicament came up during the transaction, and Doug was able to guide us through a minefield of options while providing the thoughtful, patient and ethical advice we needed. He provided timely and concise information, communicated effectively and honestly. I would recommend him without reservation.

If you are a first-time home buyer in Seattle, do yourself a favor and contact Zach. He will support you through the process with clear and accurate information and does so in a way that is strategic, without pressure, empathetic, and honest. He conducts weekly check-in’s, is highly responsive, practices COVID19 etiquette, has a large network of credible contacts you can leverage given his experience, has an assistant who like him is organized and accommodating, and has an extremely informative and well-done YouTube channel with highly relevant content that is updated frequently. During house tours, we were impressed with his acumen on all things related to a home. We never felt pressure to put an offer on a house as he always let us lead. When we decided to submit an offer, he gathered intel for us quickly, provided his strategic input, was thorough, and made us feel comfortable with each step. The Seattle market is tough and his guidance was invaluable. For the home we ended up purchasing, he made sure we even felt supported during our fast closing, checking in to make sure things were going smoothly with our lender. He threw a special celebration when we got our keys, which we appreciated, by delivering lunch and giving us thoughtful housewarming gifts including a surprise for our kids. These little touches were very thoughtful. Overall, we’ve been spoiled by the high level of customer service Zach provided and give him our highest recommendation. We will 100% be using him in the future.

I cannot speak more highly of Andrew! When my wife and I were looking at realtors, Andrew stood out to us immediately given his breadth of local knowledge and his past experience in construction and building. On top of that, he had recently sold many houses in our price point, so we decided to set up a meeting with him. I am so glad we did! Andrew was a true professional from start to finish, and was flexible and available to us when our house search really started to pick up steam. I always felt like Andrew was very straight up and gave us his honest opinion of the houses we saw, pointing out the positives and negatives of home locations, construction, layout, etc. At the same time, he never tried to force his point of view -- he always listened and carefully took note of our feedback. In the end, Andrew was the one who found our perfect home, even though my wife and I collectively had made searching for a home nearly a second job. In fact, we had written off the house when we saw the listing, but Andrew tacked it on to the end of a tour just for good measure and we're so glad he did! In short, if you want a great agent, go with Andrew. You won't be disappointed!

Having the help of a competent realtor can make a huge difference in the outcome; we worked with Doug Holman and we are glad we did!! In the midst of a pandemic, Doug came to our rescue when we found ourselves in a dilemma that all the equity we had put into a property over a lifetime might be completely ruined by property mismanagement. He took it to himself to sort out all the problems we could not handle by ourselves. He and his team formulated sound marketing strategies, worked tirelessly in negotiation on our behalf and sold our property within a surprisingly short period of time. Doug earned our trust and respect with his hard work and sound advice. We will not hesitate to trust our next real estate transaction to him as well.

Doug did an incredible job selling my Shoreline duplex - from start to finish. Doug did an excellent job and marketing the property and it was sold in a matter of days. I have never worked with an agent that did so much to help me manage the process of preparing my property for sale. He was always available and had all the contacts I needed when I was not sure where to turn for services.

Andrew was tremendously helpful, patient, and knowledgeable throughout our home search. He made a stressful process feel manageable and he helped us get into a home that met our needs on all ends. Would highly recommend working with Andrew for your home search in Seattle!

Andrew did a fantastic job representing both myself and my siblings during an estate sale for my brother's home. As my brother had been ill for some time, the house was in disrepair. His recommendations regarding "fixes" were spot on - not too hot and not too cold - just right to present the property in it's most favorable light while limiting expenses. I was also relieved that he managed all the work regarding these fixes as I do not reside in WA state and therefore I am unfamiliar with local contractors. Finally he handled all unique aspects of the sale given it was a probate sale while being sensitive to the "ticking clock" associated with time spent communicating with my estate lawyer, again thus minimizing expenses. Great job Andrew - thanks again!

I would absolutely use Zach again if I had the need. I was an out of state seller and it was difficult for me to keep focus on what needed to be done up in Washington state, when I was creating a new home way south in Arizona. A: Zach kept me completely informed on what was going on all the time. B: Zach managed jobs for me that I couldn't easily do as an out of state owner. He made sure the carpet was replaced and garbage/trash was removed from previous renters. I'm sure there were other things that he did but I can't recall at this point. Yes, it's been a couple of months. C: Zach kept me informed all the time of what was going on. He's very much into social media and keeping you informed with weekly calls and more if needed. D: From my neighbors point of view, he had the best Open House of all time.... I can't set 'your' expectations, but he had sandwiches and other refreshments during the open house that really impressed a lot of people. I was not disappointed with Zach at all. He is young, hungry, and willing to work with and for you. If I had the opportunity, I would work with him again. Kelli

My husband and I have just bought a house with the help of our amazing real estate agent Andrew Schein. Andrew has been a pleasure to work with. He is an excellent expert, very hard working, diligent, professional, very responsive and has a great amount of local knowledge. As first-time homebuyers, Andrew helped us breeze through the process of buying a home, explaining everything we needed to know about the process and patiently answering all our questions. We cannot speak more highly of Andrew and we would recommend him without hesitation to anyone interested in buying a home.

We bought a home with Zach's help in Lake Forest Park. I was a first time buyer to I quite tentative and was not sure of the process and with Zach's help we were able to close the house within a month from the time we saw the house for the first time. We started looking for houses in December and we looking at house with whom so ever will respond to our query on ZIllow or Refin, but we found Zach to be the most responsive and most easy to talk about our priorities and what we were looking. Zach was very responsive and always ready to help with any questions we had. On the negotiation part, we paid the full list price of the house and there were some concession after inspection but my feeling was that we could have negotiated it a bit lower but Zach convinced me that it is not a good idea to negotiate down as the seller has other offers. I thought Zach could have done better on that front being the buyer's agent. He was being fair on both sides I guess. I guess every buyer feels that they could have squeezed it some more, so no real complains there either Overall I was very happy with the process and would definitely recommend Zach to other buyers. He was a pleasure to work with in every step of the process.

Zach and his team were outstanding and went above expectations: they were professional, prompt, knowledgeable, and coordinated all of the contractor repairs and cleaning. Zach also talked me off the emotional cliff several times during the listing and offer process.

It's really great to work with Zach. I can feel his passion for his job, which then leads to an outstanding customer service. He responded to all my questions quickly, even on Sunday, and gave informative answers. He broke down the complicated process of home buying to smaller steps that I could easily follow even I have no background. There is another point I really want to highlight. He always gave me his own opinions about the properties we looked at in an honest and critical way, but at the same time, he never persuaded nor dissuaded me to make any decisions. Not all agents can keep this boundary clear and comfortable, and Zach did an excellent job. I would highly recommend him if you are searching for a real estate agent, and I would like to work with him again if I want to buy a second place.

Andrew provided excellent guidance throughout the listing and sale of our property. He was very hands on and did a great job of anticipating our questions/concerns and addressing these in a proactive manner. I would absolutely recommend Andrew to friends and family.

Andrew is an all-star agent. From his passion and expertise on all things involved in real estate transactions, to his responsiveness at all hours, you can't go wrong working with Andrew. Andrew's experience in high-end building (and his degrees from UW in architecture and construction management) set him a part from other agents. He's not only a master of keeping track of the details, but also helped me imagine what my house could look like with some minor remodel work. Andrew is everything you would want in an agent...and more!

I had an outstanding experience with Vicki. This was my first time shopping for a home and there were several parts of it that would've been overwhelming for me had she not handled them with expertise, timeliness, and care. On top of her general proficiency and knowledge of the Seattle market, most importantly, it was always clear to me that her only goal was to help me find a place that was right for me. She's awesome!

Doug is very helpful and friendly. His attention to detail is very good and we had a very good feeling always while working with him. He helped us to find and purchase a condominium in Seattle and assisted in all manner in dealing with the condominium association problems and requirements.

Due to relocating for employment, myself and my family moved from Southern CA to Kirkland, WA Nov ‘21. We weren’t familiar with the area and we were nervous about purchasing a house. After doing some online research we were fortunate to find Zach McDonald to help us. Zach was so knowledgeable about the housing market and knew all the areas surrounding Seattle. We found a house and bought it under asking price. Fast forward to Jan ‘22, we decided that we were homesick and wanted to move back home. We contacted Zach McDonald and he immediately went into action. We had a list of dates for the stager, inspections and photos. Everything was so well organized by Zach and his team that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The process was so easy and our house sold in 6 days after listing with multiple offers. I highly recommend Zach and his team!

Working with Andrew was an absolutely pleasure, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home in the area. Being a first-time home buyer, I greatly appreciated Andrew’s expertise as I navigated a highly-competitive market. Andrew helped me understand every step of the process, he was creative and proactive in strategizing how to be as competitive as possible. I also appreciate that he has a background in high-end real estate development, and he had great insight into the quality of different properties as well as projects that could increase the value of potential homes. Andrew is highly professional, responsive, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and just a pleasure to work with. I couldn't be happier with the service he provided.

I really enjoyed working with Zac and his team to sell my condo. He was attentive, on the ball, encouraging, helped us stay “in the know”, followed up with weekly phone calls. He also knows his stuff about the market and the ins and outs. I am super thankful that we choose to work with the McDonald Team and that they were so through in their approach, could not have made a better choice.

Doug has been my agent since I purchased my first house in 2002. Not only is he always professional, knowledgeable, and collaborative, but he also goes above and beyond the call of duty. Doug integrates his expertise of the industry with the needs and wants of his clients. Since 2002, Doug has helped me to sell a couple of my parents' rental houses, as well as provided valuable insight whenever I have questions regarding real estate or property management, regardless of whether I am actively looking or just curious about the market. On top of all this, he is very approachable and personable- you never have to worry about be given the hard sell, or being bullied into purchasing/selling something you don't want to do. This year was no different. Over the past couple years, I've been thinking about purchasing a new house. This year, I finally decided to commit, and began the search process. The housing market in Seattle was very hot, and inventory was very low. Through it all, Doug provided sound advice and guidance, support, but also knew when to challenge me on things. As I am a single person, his feedback and input to me was invaluable- it provided me a second set of eyes and helped me to process through what I really was looking for. Ultimately, I found an amazing house, and Doug was steady through the entire negotiating process, even when surprises popped up. When I first met Doug over a decade ago, I thought I was hiring him to help me buy a house. Instead I found a person and a friend who I trust and respect to provide honest feedback and clear insight. Not only have I continued to use him for my or my family's needs, but I've also recommended him to other friends. All of them have had success with Doug.

Andrew was an absolute pleasure to work with! He was incredibly knowledgeable and professional, and was always quick to respond. His honesty was refreshing and you could always tell he was giving you the real lowdown. Even during this pandemic, he went above and beyond for us. I would easily recommend him to anyone, especially a first time home buyer such as myself. I consider myself lucky for stumbling across him!

You're lucky if you end up with Vicki as your agent. She's a powerhouse of knowledge and also just lovely and intuitive. I just wish I had heeded all her advice about other properties when she helped me buy a condo on Capital Hill.

I was based in California throughout and house went only through basic cleanup/maintenance before being put up for sale so wasn't sure what to expect. In the end we went through several offers, three of which were accepted (one buyer pulled out at inspection stage, one buyer was not able to secure financing in spite of being pre-approved and final buyer for sale that went through). Throughout I was very happy with Zach as he guided me through the process, explaining all the intricacies and alternatives. When negotiation was needed, he would often suggest reasonable moves and counteroffers and provide context without being too pushy or hurried. I appreciated the balanced use of email/sms/phones to keep me informed and push things along. In the end house sold well above the asking price and the closing process was smooth. Overall I was quite happy and would gladly recommend Zach to my friends.

My Husband and I have worked with many, many agents over the years and Doug was the best one. We liked him because he is very personable without being too chatty. He was able to sift through a ton of information quickly and help us arrive at the best investment for our situation. He doesn't automatically trust everything he reads in the Multiple Listing and is willing to dig a little deeper to figure out the truth about a property. When we were negotiating and going through closing his knowledge about the Seattle area and what we should expect and ask for was invaluable to us. After closing he has continued to stay in close contact to help us as landlords.

Zach McDonald and his team were the absolute best to work with - five full stars! From the very beginning when I contacted Zach I knew he and his team were the ones to handle my unusual transaction. A friend of mine had passed away and I was charged with selling his beautiful home. I didn't know the area, I didn't know the market and I didn't know what to do cosmetically to the home to get the best sale result. Zach put me at ease right away with his knowledge of the market, his practical approach to preparing the home for sale, and his and his team's willingness to assist with the upgrades. Zach and his team not only advised on the clean-up and refresh, they also had many connections in the cleaning, painting and repair industries. If they have a contact for the service the home needed, they helped locate one. All of the cleaning and repairs happened in a very short period of time and if one of the contractors couldn't complete their portion on time Zach and his team found another contractor to keep the project moving. Their efforts before the sale made the upgrades easy and affordable - and almost painless to me! The results were amazing. The home was listed for $1.2mm and sold 10 days later for $1.410 mm. I highly recommend Zach McDonald and his wonderful team of associates - they did an incredible job for me and got results I never could have imagined.

My husband and I were looking for a house on Zillow, that is how we met Doug. He showed us a couple of houses and we really enjoy the service he provided. He is very knowledgeable, honest and professional. Any home buyer or seller would benefit from his work.

Since I was not in the area where my home was listed, Andrew provided me with a real sense of security, and represented me well during the selling process. Having a professional background in architecture and construction, Andrew's pre-sale advice on completing minor improvements and staging was excellent. His attention to detail throughout the marketing and sale process was really appreciated. I would recommend Andrew highly. He is knowledgeable and professional, and his communication skills - providing prompt, essential information - are excellent.

We highly recommend Zach to anyone interested in purchasing a home, especially for those searching in the Edmonds area. Over the course of several months, Zach helped us find the home of our dreams in an area that we are thrilled to be in. He was professional, highly responsive, and clearly cared about helping us find the perfect home. We look forward to working with Zach again in the future.

I cannot recommend working with Andrew strongly enough. He made the experience as a first time homeowner exceptionally easy and smooth. Andrew walked me through every step of the process of buying a house and gave me his honest opinion on each home we viewed. Andrew always made himself available for phone calls, house tours, and would tell me straight up if he didn't think a home was the right fit for me. Often times Andrew would make himself available to show me homes on an hours notice, which is important in Seattle's competitive market. When we found the right home, Andrew was immediate in getting a competitive offer in. Through negotiations, Andrew kept me in the loop, and help negotiate a great deal in which the sellers covered a lot of repairs and the costs of closing. Andrew worked diligently with escrow company, my mortgage broker, the sellers and everyone else that was involved in purchasing my home, always keeping me in the loop but handling much of the heavy lifting so I didn't. The experience of buying my first home was incredibly smooth and simple, and I owe that entirely to the hard work of Andrew. I will be recommending him to all of my friends who are considering buying a home in the future, and strongly recommend him to anyone else who is looking for help securing their first home.

We were so pleased with our experience working with Andrew to sell our Fremont condo. His market knowledge was exceedingly important in determining timing and pricing strategy for the sale. He was spot on with his recommendations based on seasonality. He also was very hands on and kept us up to date throughout the process. He worked directly with vendors for pre-sale improvements, which ensured we got top dollar. I would definitely recommend using Andrew to help navigate the complex and challenging Seattle real estate market for both buyers and sellers

Zach managed the sale of our investment property and we could not be happier with the results. Prior to listing, Zach provided well-advised and nuanced advice for how to best prepare the home to be sold. The pricing strategy Zach recommended was perfectly tailored toward attracting a wide pool of potential buyers. The marketing content created for our listing––specifically the photography and videography––was top-notch, successfully creating a flurry of interest in the property. Zach and his team prioritized consistent and reliable communication, ensuring we felt supported throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for a white glove, friendly, dependable and professional real estate agent––Zach McDonald is your guy.

It can be very challenging to navigate the Seattle real estate market. Andrew brought invaluable expertise and dedication to the home buying process. From the beggining of the process Andrew was very patient and informative; helping to guide us new Seattleites by managing our expectations well and making us feel comfortable diving into buying a home, which can be an indimidating and nervewracking experience. Through closing and after, Andrew has helped by considering some of our projects with the new house and offering references. I would definitely recommend Andrew for anyone searching for professional real estate service.

Andrew is an amazing agent. As first time home buyers my wife and I spent a fair amount of time interviewing and researching different agents. This being the biggest purchase we have ever made we thought it important to work with someone we really liked. The market we walked into was incredibly competitive and Andrew did a fantastic job walking us through each and every step of the process. He was quick to provide highly specific details when asked but could also keep things brief and high level. We found him incredibly responsive, especially when we wanted to go see a house the day it came on the market. He was always available to answer calls, help do research, or just chat about what was on our minds. Before getting the perfect home that met our every expectation, we made two other offers. Andrew walked us through the process clearly and concisely, helping us structure the very best offers we could. Unfortunately, this being a highly competitive market we lost based on price...which Andrew had said would be a factor in the offers we put together. In the end, we got the house we wanted for a good price and we have Andrew to thank for that. The home had previously failed to make it through inspection so Andrew coached us on how to make an attractive but competitive offer. When we got the house, we were absolutely thrilled. We couldn't have had a better agent to take us through the home buying process.

Zach and his team are very responsive and went above and beyond for us. As first time homebuyers we had a lot to learn and Zach took the time to teach us how to make a competitive offer

We loved working with Zach! We bought our first house with him & he was so knowledgeable & patient, helping answer the many, many questions we had. He's a teacher. &, we loved that. He's also fun & just easy to work with. He listened to our ideas and worked really hard to find us what we wanted. He worked hard in negotiating the right deal for us. He called just to check in every week. He was totally transparent & honest. He just went above and beyond! Seriously, I will recommend him to anyone who's looking to buy a home. We're sticking with Zach!

I'm grateful that I bought my property through Andrew , he was very honest and always giving me right advices ,eventho I was very picky he was always available for me whenever I ask for him , he answers all my questons in a way I can understand and never pressured me,as a first time home buyer, He explained everything I had to know, he made the process much easier, he was was very helpful I would definitely recommend Andrew, I believe he is the right first step for buying/selling.

Sarah was extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and a pleasure to work with through the entire selling process. She was proactive and informative to make the selling process as smooth as possible. I’d work with Sarah again on purchase/selling property.

We loved working with Andrew. He made the home-buying process easy. He was very professional, available and knowledgeable, and we felt he gave excellent advice in structuring our offers. He also continued to help us even after we closed. When we found some errors in a recent renovation on the house we bought, he helped us get reimbursed for the expense of fixing it. Highly recommended.

We purchased our home from Doug in 2015 when were moving from Seattle. Doug always made us feel like we were his only client—he was always available for us and made time to address all our questions. Since we were moving from out of town, we were only available for showings at odd intervals, but Doug always adapted to our schedule and made sure we got the information we needed. He was particularly astute in terms of evaluating properties, pricing, and has extensive knowledge of the area. He gave us a lot of background information to inform our choices and knew the details of neighborhoods and individual homes. Doug went the extra mile several times, including being at the house when Comcast did the internet installation prior to our move in.

As a first time home buyer, Doug inspired confidence in the hunt for a place to call home. Doug did not try to rush us or pressure us into settling on a house and was the first person to call out problems with a potential home. He even steered us away from a few houses that we initially liked but that would have caused us serious problems down the road. When we found "the one," Doug immediately reached out to the seller's agent to put us in the pole position to get the house. We got into a bidding war with another potential buyer, and I relied on Doug's advice throughout. We got the house! Doug also has great relationships with home inspectors, mortgage brokers, and other realtors, greatly reducing the stress of the closing process. I will rely on Doug for all my real estate needs from here on out!

After interviewing 4 "top" agents in the area I chose to list my house with Doug Holman for 2 reasons - his non 'sales' approach and pragmatic approach to getting the house on the marketing and maximizing the sale. Though it was a sellers market at the time, there were challenges but Doug helped keep the process moving forward. His experience with certain situations help me, the seller, keep focused on the bigger picture. In the end, the sale closed on time and Doug help negotiate some key conditions to help me with the transition out of the home. I definitely would recommend Doug to anyone who needs a partner in their real estate transaction, not just a salesman.

Jenny went above and beyond for us. We were selling our house after moving to another state, and she facilitated everything, including cleaning and repairs - she even came over and tarped our balcony in a snow storm to stop a ceiling leak. She was always quick to answer texts and calls. We felt like we were in great hands the whole way through. Thanks, Jenny

Jenny really knows the area and the market. I've lived in the neighborhood for 50 years, but Jenny knew better than me how to price and market the home, and we're delighted with the results!

Jenny and Gordon were simply fantastic! So helpful, always there when we needed them or even just needed reassurance, and went way above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. They are the best and we are so thankful for their help!

My experience with Zack buying my first home in America (I'm European) was great! I decided to quit renting and finally buy a place… I was a little concern about my little knowledge of this endeavor in the US. Zack was able to explain this very clearly from the start, and on every stage of the closing process. He was exceptionally diligent addressing the issues around my tight timeline to close, due to a scheduled trip to Europe. He was also exceptionally adaptable to the times of the day I had available to go see places around the city. I wanted to get a good sense of what was available for my price range in different areas of Seattle. Zack was always pleased to show a good range of possibilities, and very thoughtful helping in my decision. I strongly recommend his services, friendly and very professional. Alfonso

When someone asks me if I know a good real estate agent, I always respond immediately with pure confidence and pride: Doug Holman. He puts you at ease right away. He's a great communicator, he LISTENS and he asks the right questions. After 20yrs in the business of banking and real estate he knows exactly what he's doing. Buying and selling homes can be stressful, but Doug makes it enjoyable with his smarts and a healthy sense of humor. I'm a builder, what a relief it has been to be so well represented through good times and bad! Doug helped me sell over 20 spec homes, 5 stars are'nt enough (:

I did not know Doug Holman before I enlisted his services as my Real Estate Agent. He was highly recommended to me by a friend. I was very impressed with Doug from the opening moments of our working together relationship to the very end. My purchase had some very abnormal circumstances related to the transaction and Doug was able to flawlessly arise to the occasion at every turn and bump in the road. Regardless of how busy he was with other clients he always made me feel like my transaction was of the utmost importance to him. Although the level of drama was high at times, Doug always kept his cool and offered his assurance that no matter how invested in the process he was, if I ever wanted to turn away from the transaction, he would support me. It was important for me to feel that Doug was my business partner throughout the entire transaction. When you work with Doug you'll see that a person of his talent could've chosen to work in any other field and it'll become apparent that Real Estate is his career of choice and that he's clearly a head and shoulders above his peers. I hope you have the opportunity to work with Doug Holman and that you enjoy working with him as much as I did. Sincerely, Hans Nordlund

Andrew was great to work with from beginning to end and clearly explained the entire process; how things would work and what to expect. Very responsive to all questions and willing to make time to reach out and make sure I was fully onboard with all decisions. Great agent and highly recommend his work.

We reached out to Zach to help us find/buy a house based on recommendation from our mortgage broker. Working with Zach suited our needs well, he was able to adapt to our availability times and knew what points and levels we wanted to interact with an agent at (ie. not too involved in searching for open houses, but very helpful in giving us tips of what to look for, how to make an offer that gets accepted, organizing inspections and follow ups, etc.)

I highly recommend Zach in the purchase/sale of your home. Zach was great during the sale of our condo. He guided us step-by-step and provided subject matter expertise, making the process a smooth one.

Andrew was there with us all through our long journey of finding the house that fits our lifestyle and budget. He patiently accompanied us to most of the houses we seriously considered, provided us useful insights on buying house in the city, and very intrumental on the negotiation process when we finally submit and went tru the buying process.

So helpfull and great with follow ups and details. We had a unique situation and he was so patient and thorough with every step throughout the process.
