We used Zach to help us buy our first home back in 2017. When we accepted a job opportunity out of state we immediately contacted Zach about helping us sell. From the start it was a great experience with Zach and his team helping us each step of the way. The photoshoot and promotion he had done for our place was beautiful and once we received offers he helped us negotiate for the best price we could get. He even helped set us up with a great realtor in our new city. We would highly recommend Zach to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in the Seattle area and will be using him again if we move back.

Andrew played a pivotal role in my home buying process. As a first time homebuyer, he provided a thorough explanation of the elements of purchase including what to expect from the various parties. Andrew was very timely when I found a property that I was interested in, and provided recommendations as to what was needed to make a strong offer. The entire process went smoothly and my first purchase was a success!

Sarah was amazing—always available, responsive, and very accommodating! Went the extra mile for us on numerous occasions. Even picked up packages that we had accidentally shipped to the wrong address and delivered them to our house.

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!

Andrew responded to an inquiry I placed on Zillow. I had just begun my active search for a home and had not found a real estate agent to hire. After speaking with and meeting Andrew, I decided to hire Andrew to help me find my home. This was the best decision I made. Andrew was very knowledgeable and was able to assist with my decision making to place an offer on a home. In such a competitive market, to my amazement, our offer was accepted over several others. The process was seamless and Andrews thorough communication through our was impressive. Andrew is dedicated to making his clients dreams come true! Thank you Andrew for making our dream a reality!

I would absolutely use Doug again to buy or sell a house. I was introduced to Doug pretty late in my house hunting process, but he jumped right in and helped me immensely with what turned out to be a difficult process. My seller had some seller's remorse, and Doug's professionalism and assertiveness ultimately solved the problem and got me my house! Doug is a wealth of knowledge, and you can't go wrong working with him.

Zach took the time to get to know us and our particular likes/dislikes for a future home. He sent us many home listings shortly after starting the process and he quickly adapted to our preferences as we ourselves were discovering them throughout the process. He is very proactive and driven in his home search and showings. We had 6 competing offers on our home, Zach had the experience and the knowledge to negotiate and tune our offer to be the best offer. We are greatly pleased with Zach's services and plan to utilize his skills for future home purchasing. Ultimately, we were and are very blessed to have Zach as a Real Estate agent and I would recommend him to anyone who is motivated to find and purchase a home.

We met Andrew at an open house by chance and hit it off with him immediately. As first-time home buyers, we were undoubtedly a bit overwhelmed by the process and he was able to ease our concerns immediately by providing us with a step-by-step guide that he'd created for people just like us. Needless to say, he was very prepared and super helpful. After touring several neighborhoods in the Greater Seattle Area, we ended up choosing to put in an offer on a new construction home (not yet built) in one of those neighborhoods. For Andrew, that meant he'd be working with us on this important transaction for another 7-8 months! With his background in construction management and new developments, he ended up being the perfect partner to help us through this long process. He partnered with us through countless check-ins at the home site and made sure our material selections and upgrades were completed exactly as we'd requested. I'd definitely recommend Andrew to a friend looking for a great real estate professional. We couldn't have done it without his expertise. Thanks, Andrew!!!

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.

Andrew was extremely helpful with his background in construction. He helped us see the quality of repairs in homes we viewed and gave us a practical sense of what we were getting into for repairs in the home we wanted to buy. He also continued to give us great ideas for remodeling many months after we purchased our home. We are very happy with our home purchase, it's exactly what we wanted!!

Great Job Jenny, it sold quick, & Jenny stayed on top until sold. I recommend Jenny to everyone, she works hard. Good photographers that work with her. Quick responses. To our questions.

Jenny Bouffiou did a great job of managing with the contractor , carpet layers, house and garage cleaners, window installers, and landscapers while developing a solid sale price for my house in Seattle.

Jenny is simply the best. I recommend her to all my friends and family. An unusual and wonderful combination of honest and hardworking. She has helped us buy and sell two houses over the past five years, and we couldn't have been more happy with the advice, support and effort she put into every house. Every friend she has helped of ours has been similarly thrilled with her. Couldn't think of a better realtor.

Zach was more than willing to work around our schedules to make sure we found the right property. He also went out of his way to make sure that we had completed anything that might help give us an advantage over other buyers. Once we decided to make an offer Zach was in touch whenever there was an update and quick to respond to any questions we had. As a first time buyer it was awesome having someone as knowledgeable as Zach walking us through the process.

Doug Holman is a superlative realtor. His innate intelligence and keen perception allow him to understand not only the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the real estate market but also the nature and personality of his clients. He succeeds because he develops a connection with his clients, leading them to houses he knows will be a match to their needs and wants. Working with Doug is a journey, where frustration and weariness vanish because of his wise and caring attitude. I recommend him without reservation.

We stumbled onto Andrew when my partner and I first took a look a home in Seattle. We were (still kind of are) absolute novices in house hunting and were mostly looking to see what was out and available. From the first tour with Andrew we were both very impressed with his knowledge of Seattle housing, keen eye for possible issues with homes, and fair opinions on what each house was worth and what they could be down the road. Within only a couple months we found the home we now live in and would not be here if it weren’t for Andrew’s professionalism, care and knowledge. Can not recommend him enough!

Doug Holman did an excellent job in representing me in my recent purchase of a Bellevue home. Doug identified the property and helped me negotiate a great purchase price. This was extremely difficult because the house was a bank owned foreclosure property. After the difficult closing process, Doug used his extensive network of contacts to help me repair damaged items in house. I would highly recommend Doug as both a buyer agent and listing agent. Doug goes the extra mile to get the job done. I plan on using his services again in the near future! Regards Erick

Doug Holman’s the best. He helped me with the upleg of a 1031 exchange. I’m in the process of selling some real estate I own in California and re-invest in the Seattle area. I sold a small apartment in California without realizing how tight the Seattle market was and would have had a bad result if Doug wasn’t there to help me. Doug has such a command of the neighborhoods he works that he seems to be able to sense which properties will be best from the investment perspective. He also can look beyond the first impression and see hidden value. He has experience fixing up properties that might be undervalued in their initial state, and has an extensive list of contractors and handymen that he will recommend if the numbers work out. The market in Seattle was hard to break into in April 2013 but Doug kept working with me until I accomplished my objective, which was to find real estate that produced a very respectable rate of return. The properties are well enough located so they will probably appreciate nicely. I am managing the properties myself but had to return to California for an extended period. Doug has been kind enough to help me find handymen for a few small items that came up since my leaving. I’m an experienced investor and have worked with good realtors before. Doug is the best.

We've had the pleasure of working with Jenny on several RE transactions during the past four years as both our listing agent and buyer's agent. In my 68 years on this earth I have been involved in many RE transactions, but I must say Jenny is by far the best RE agent I've ever worked with. I say this not only to highlight her expertise, professionalism and initiative - but in my view it's Jenny's exceptional 'people skills' that make her such an incredible asset. Her genuinely kind demeanor makes her a pleasure to work with - but don't ever underestimate her, as she has ways to coax honey away from a bear! People might say "so-and-so is difficult to work with" (a property manager, escrow agent or other RE agents) - but not to Jenny! She establishes a good rapport with everyone she works with and manages to smooth out all uncertainties to make even the most challenging transaction into a seamlessly positive experience. Jenny is truly a marvel!

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.

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.

"Gordon was recommended to me and I have been extremely happy with him and his team. Through RPA I have purchased 3 different homes and sold 2 since 2006. For the last two transactions I have worked directly with Gordon, his knowledge of the market and his ability to negotiate have been extremely beneficial. He has really helped me and my wife know what to expect and understand the process as we have listed and sold our homes. Gordon has completely gained my trust and I have recommended him to three different friends who have also sold homes (or are about to) through Gordon. I look forward to working with him again in the near future."

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.

Andrew has already made a great job helping to buy us a house during this very competitive time. He is detail-oriented, industry well-connected and reliable. Andrew has great knowledge of the market and delivered great advice at each stage of the homebuying process. It was super easy to work with him. We would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home.

Andrew Schein is a fantastic real estate agent. He's smart, engaging, and has great insight into the nuances of the housing market. This summer he sold our 1920s Craftsman in the Loyal Heights neighborhood in Ballard and spearheaded our purchase of our dream home in Lake Forest Park. We couldn't be happier with our experience with him. The Seattle-area real estate market is incredibly competitive and complicated--much more so than when we initially purchased our Ballard home during the market downturn. Andrew did a great job helping us navigate these new dynamics, staging our home and marketing it so that it showed better than we could have hoped. When we hit the inevitable bumps and snags, he guided us through it with warmth and confidence. Andrew knows the market. He was born-and-raised in Seattle Proper, knows the area, and it showed. He was attentive, responsive, and a good negotiator. We would highly recommend him as an agent.

I bought the first house Doug showed me – after I made him show me at least 6 more. I mean really, just because he took the time to learn about me: what I wanted, needed, craved, secretly hungered for in a neighborhood and home, why should I just blindly follow his advice? Because he’s good. Really good. He really listened to what I wanted, added what he knew I needed, and topped it all off with what was best in the short AND long term. Twelve years’ later, I’ve bought and sold other properties with Doug. I’m talkin’ multiple, here. And every time, he’s brought the same dedication, understanding, and bone-deep knowledge of real estate to the process. Not to mention his knowledge of me. He’s been right, every single time. Right enough that I send my friends to him. I trust Doug Holman, and you should too.

Let me start by saying, in this over-saturated landscape of brokers and agents, Steve is a breath of fresh air, a diamond amidst the rubble; one who should be seriously considered to represent you. We could not have been more pleased with ALL facets of work provided to us. If exploring Queen Anne and the greater Seattle area, Steve's vast knowledge and understanding of the nuances from upper to lower, east to west; was indispensable. His expertise in area is only rivaled by his strategy and tenacity. There's a saying that goes, "work smarter, not harder," but in Steve's case, I'd say "WORK SMARTER, WORK HARDER," is more fitting! Steve consistently went above and beyond the normal course of duty to make sure all our questions were answered; all our concerns, met. Best of all, he's about the kindest man you'll meet. Grounded, patient but also ready to guide and lead through the clutter of negotiation, legalese, inspection, contingencies, etc. Please do yourself a favor and place Steve in your consideration set; as I am confident he will win you over with expertise, wrapped in kindness; like he did with us. Happy hunting and for those reading this, best of luck in your home search endeavors.

Jenny went above and beyond to make sure we felt confident with the process, got the most money for our house, and overall treated us like we were her only clients. I would highly recommend her and her team!

Doug was great with helping us deal with the company that was selling our home and when the company finally called us back we were able to get the perfect price for a great home! Thank you Doug! We appreciate all of your help!-Amber and Paul

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.

I bought my Seattle condo through Andrew and he was of tremendous help. He guided me through the process and clearly explained everything to me. He was always available to answer any and all of my questions, as well as my family's questions, and constantly checked in with us to make sure we were up to speed. It was very obvious that he was knowledgeable and experienced in the field, and so his suggestions and advice were highly valued. Every step of the way he was there, and that was so appreciated. Extremely personable and nice guy. I absolutely recommend him.

Very knowledgeable, responds quick to questions. Listing pictures and video walkthrough were amazing. I would highly recommend Zach. Our home sold in less than a week.

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!

Always helpful and willing to get any information I needed, knows all the processes and had good advice, really tries to understand exactly what we were looking for, great service, no issues.

"Jenny was amazing to work with, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in Seattle. Jenny grew up in Seattle and knows all of the neighborhoods really well. My boyfriend and I were new to Seattle and described early on to Jenny what kind of home we were looking for, and what  characteristics of a neighborhood we enjoy. She really listened to our needs and continually adjusted the types of homes she found for us based on feedback from those we looked at together. Jenny was always available on short notice, and was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. At one point we had gotten frustrated with the Seattle housing market and how much we were being out bid on several offers, and Jenny went outside the box and investigated several off market homes for us just to try to help us find our dream home. We really felt that Jenny gave us very personal service and really put a lot of effort into helping us find what we were looking for, in the price range we had set. I can not sing Jenny's praises enough, she is really wonderful to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone!"

Me and my wife just completed our first home purchase and we are glad that Zach McDonald represented us. Being the newbie homebuyers in one of the most competitive housing market, we really wanted someone to help us to find the right house and also with the preassumed "daunting" paperwork involved. First of all, either you go with Zach or not as your real estate agent, his YouTube channel is a goldmine of information for any home buyer and especially Seattle market. With monthly updates and detailed step-by-step videos for each step in house buying, it makes so much easier for new home buyers like us to understand the process thoroughly. He was very clear on first step as getting pre-approval which proved to be really important in our case (TRUST the process!!). If you are someone like us who want very transparent communication, Zach and his team(Rachel and Lindsay) is the right choice for you. Our visits were properly scheduled, all safety precautions were taken amidst covid pandemic and never had any issues around it. He provided his honest opinion on each house we visited, laid out the pros and cons which really helped us to make a call. We had previously experienced how the agents created a pressurized situation to make a quick/hasty decision but house buying is probably the most expensive investment you are going to make. There was literally NO…NADA..NIL.. pressure from Zach to make a decision on any house we saw with him. Regular check-ins on Tuesday and Thursday make the whole process seamless as he breaks down each step for you and share latest updates for your case. THE FUN PART: Hands down, Zach and team are really passionate for their work. Closing on a house with Zach is an experience, why? That’s because the gestures this team makes to make it special for you. For us, sending card when you start the house buying process, another one when you put the down escrow money and last on closure. The best part, they come with cookies :) Finally on the closing days, Zach got food with Champagne, along with few gifts and an awesome welcome home video to save our memories for lifetime. Zach will be our go-to agent in future as well, we wish him great success in his business! Thank you Zach and Team, looking forward to do more business with you.

Doug makes the impossible possible. We have had the good fortune to work with Doug on two home purchases (investment properties) in the last year and he brings an incredible degree of knowledge, pragmatic strategic thinking, and most importantly EXPERIENCE to the table. Doug has seen it all and isn't afraid to tell you when you're crazy. In a rip-roaring market like Seattle having Doug Holman on your team is single best decision you'll make in the whole process of buying home. Doug has a no nonsense style, is a tactful negotiator, a friendly source of advice, and above all else he's honest. 11/10 would recommend.

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.

As a client, my house-hunting process extended of a long period of time because I vascillated over a decision whether and when to buy. Doug was very patient and understanding of this process, and always was enthusiastic to "jump back in the game" with me in response to my email or telephone call that it was time to initate the search again. Doug's knowledge of the region's real estate market is vast and and he has expert understanding of the real estate transaction process, as any client would expect and want. Doug is a consummate professional: competent in his job and respectful, honest and direct. His manner of interacting is a perfect blend of clear communication, assertiveness and affability, and I thorougly enjoyed his personality and appreciated his efforts throughout this process.

We worked with Zach to find our first house. We toured a number of houses between Seattle and Edmonds, and he was extremely helpful in keeping our expectations grounded in this aggressive market. At a few points in our journey, we were considering houses that needed some work, and Zach had knowledge to share on that subject as well. When we finally found the one, and Zach was a pro at arranging our offer, had all the suggestions for helping us be aggressive with our terms, and we won on our first offer with him! We highly recommend him!

Andrew helped me sell my existing home in conjunction with buying a new home. Andrew's dedication and expertise in helping me find a home was beyond what words can describe. I am extremely happy with the home that I now inhabit and I doubt that many other agents could have guided me through the extremely aggressive Seattle real estate market to end up here. It took me 9 months and multiple offers to eventually land a home. The process called upon many of Andrew's skills in property discovery, price negotiation, and structural assessment. I've worked with professionals of many kinds in both my business and my home life, and I would not hesitate to recommend Andrew as a real estate agent. He is up to date on the latest technologies (which helped me get a jump on my current house a few hours before the competition). He has a unique ability to both understand my needs for a house but also help me consider a range of options for arriving at the kind of house that my family needed (buy, build, remodel). In the end, I ended up at an extremely unique property with which I am extremely happy (new construction, built green, walkable, more bedrooms than I expected). I highly recommend that you work with Andrew to purchase your next house. When selling my existing home, Andrew was incredibly responsive to my needs and adjusted his target price to match my expectations for what my home was worth. It ended up selling for the higher amount and I'm happy with how it turned out. Andrew's background education in construction came into play when we made a few last minute enhancements to the house, not to mention his abilities in coordinating top notch staging and photography. Overall, I highly recommend Andrew for anyone who needs to buy or sell a house.

Super knowledgeable. Great communication. Energetic and responsive, but very even keel and respectful. Felt like he really cared about making sure our needs were met.

You should definitely ask Zach to help you sell your home. I have a couple of good friends that are agents but decided to list with Zach after meeting him and discussing my timing and goals. Right from the start Zach impressed me with his knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm for the project. Admittedly, I have pretty high expectations since I am a real estate attorney in Seattle. Zach did an excellent job marketing my house and everything was first rate. Zach easily earned his commission and put extra dollars in my pocket as well. I have full confidence in Zach and Real Property Associates.

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.

Working with Zach was a tremendous pleasure. He was exceptionally helpful in all aspects of the home buying process and I never felt like I was "missing something" or didn't understand what was next. He was always responsive and professional and it was a real pleasure getting to work with him. I can't imagine the process had we not gone with Zach as our realtor. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested or getting started. We started our process with pretty open ended ideas of what we wanted and Zach helped us figure out and narrow down our selection until we found the perfect place for us. If I'm ever on the market to buy or sell again, I certainly will choose Zach.

Looking for an agent who knows the market, willing to go the extra mile, very responsive, and aggressive when negotiating? Look no further than Andrew Schein! Oh! And did I mention that Andrew has a degree in architecture and construction management? Yup, double win! Why settle for any other agent? With Andrew's help, my wife and I bought the house of our dreams, in the neighborhood we wanted, and it was well below our budget. My wife and I were very proactive looking at the current houses on the market, and Andrew was always more than willing to walk through all houses of interest several times a week. He did this week after week for 5 months until we found our house. Proof that he was committed to getting us a house to fit our needs. Looking for a house? Message Andrew. Andrew Schein + you = House of your dreams. Who says math isn't fun?

5 stars is really not enough for Jenny! She did so much more than just list our house. She had amazing photos taken and got us the best stagger to show our house in the best possible way. She recommended great contractors to make all the repairs we never got to! Overall we had a wonderful experience with Jenny and highly recommend her for anyone needing an agent!

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.

I happened to meet Doug Holman by happenstance when I stopped by an open house for a townhome in the Greenlake area. Not a fan of most salespeople I've encountered, real estate or other, I was extremely impressed by Doug's demeanor. He immediately came off as genuine and friendly but not overbearing or pushy. I felt an instant trust and comfort with him that I decided to ask him to assist me as my agent. Initially, Doug took me out to get a feel of places or layouts I would like in my home. After a couple of meetings, I decided to postpone my purchase and rent temporarily. About 4-5 months later, I decided I was ready to begin my search again. Doug remembered me, which was very nice, and readily prepared places of interest based on our previous search but also detailing and new requests I may have. He was easy to work with and quickly responded to all my questions and concerns. During our search, Doug would willingly tell me of any defects of the home or things to be concerned or worried about prior to purchase. He was forthcoming with information that was useful to a new homebuyer or someone with no experience. I didn't feel like I was being swindled or "sold" on anything. He in truth, was my friend and a confident that was helping me to purchase my new home. I greatly appreciated his assistance and candidness so I felt I was getting the home I wanted at a great value. I found my home within a month and purchased it within a week after making an offer. Granted the seller expedited the sale, but Doug was there to help move everything along smoothly including referrals for a loan officer, that I also loved. I enjoyed working with Doug so much that I recommended my friends to him and they recently purchased their home too. Thank you Doug for a great first time experience!

I would more than highly recommend Zach McDonald for anyone who is trying to sell a home. He truly went above and beyond for me, and for that I will be forever grateful. Never has selling a home been so stress free. He contacted me twice a week, or more for updates. If there was a problem, he would make certain it was taken care of immediately. I live out of state and thought this would be very painstaking, it was, indeed, the opposite, and I have never been so satisfied. This is the Realtor you want on your side! Hardworking and loyal to his customers! Thank you, again, Zach, for absolutely everything you did. You have no idea how much you helped me.

I enjoyed working with Doug; he is very knowledgeable, honest and was very patient with me while I was looking for a new home. He explained everything every step of the way and made the whole process easy. This was my first home I'd purchased in over 25 years and he made it a great experience. I would recommend him in a heart beat.

As a first-time homebuyer, Andrew was an invaluable resource for helping me locate a house to buy. I needed to tour many homes to work out what I was looking for, and Andrew was more than willing to help me. He also gave a great explanation of the whole process and gave strong advice for what work to do on the house after purchase, with contractor recommendations. At no point did I feel like Andrew was lacking in any way. Totally recommend ;)

I have bought and sold 4 homes in my 82 years, and in 4 different states. This last one with Jenny, was the easiest , and most rewarding, of all. Her knowledge, attention to detail, professionalism, availability,, and her personality, made for a stressless process. My advice to anyone needing to sale their home, call Jenny Bouffiou.

Vicky was great, she worked very hard for us. She was quick to respond and went the extra mile. Much appreciated. We will definitely be using her again and will recommend her to everyone.

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!

Our home sold within 1 week. During the closing process, Zach called each week with updates so we knew how things were progressing. Zach always returned phone calls in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Zach as an agent!

Our family is seeking for various residential properties for long-term investment in Seattle area, and we are lucky to have worked with Doug since the beginning of this process. Doug is a dedicated real estate agent with a vast knowledge of the local market and understanding of investment strategies. Doug found this duplex which meets all of our investment criteria. He performed property inspection on our behalf to ensure there was no hidden problem. His assessment was accurate, detailed and timely for us to make the purchase decision. The bidding process was competitive with no less than five offers. Doug advised us with the right purchase price to acquire the property to beat the next best offer by just $5,000. With his help on the paperwork, we were able to close this transaction quickly. Not only taking us through the purchasing process but he also helped us find a perfect tenant to lease this place. We were very picky, and he had to show the property multiple times. I would recommend Doug to anyone who is looking to buy residential properties in the Greater Seattle Area.

When we decided to move to the Seattle area, we contacted a high profile real-estate agent in down town Seattle. After several months of looking a property we did not like, we decided to change agents. We found Doug Holman and are most happy with his services. Doug quickly realized what we were looking for, and found use the home we were looking for. We found Doug to be very patient, honest, a good negotiator and has a great sense of humor. Peggy and I would recommender Doud as Great Real Estate Agent.

I highly recommend Zach to anyone considering buying or selling a home in the greater Seattle area. I really enjoyed working with him. He is a great negotiator, a steady hand, a responsive problem-solver and a new friend.

This is a difficult business and there is a lot of money at stake which is not lost on Andrew. It was important to properly present our home which required painting, landscaping, cleaning, staging, even decommissioning an oil tank. Each home requires a project manager that has to arrange all these vendors and make sure they follow through. This is Andrew's strength and if you need an agent that can put the spit and polish on your home, I highly recommend Andrew. One day prior to closing, he even sent me photos of the water and e meters which is very helpful, and detail is often forgotten with other agents, that alone speaks volumes. Final Negotiations are an art-form, and Andrew comes across as very professional to everyone he is contact with. I am very pleased. ps. did I mention that just prior to staging, he felt the floors needed a good wax, so he did it himself. Thanks Andrew for selling our home. Peter S.

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!

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!

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.

Andrew was referred to us by friends who had just worked with him to purchase their first home. They couldn't speak more highly of him -- and after working with him, neither can we. As first time homebuyers, Andrew alleviated our anxieties with his calming professionalism and thorough approach. He walked us through everything in detail and made sure we were aware of all requirements at each step of the process. Andrew was a true partner throughout. He listened closely to what we were looking for while also adding his own market and construction expertise to the conversation. Because of this we had honest conversations about each property to help better inform our decision. At the end of the day, we always knew he was on our team. We highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking to buy property in the Seattle area.

Sarah was a pleasure to work with in selling our house. Her being fluent in Spanish very much helped with some of the contractors who worked on getting the house ready for sale. She was always dependable, had wonderful suggestions and perspective. If I have future business of similar kind I would not hesitate to contact her to work with her again.

My wife and I were first-time home buyers and Andrew made the process much less intimidating than it could have been. He went to great lengths to understand what were looking for and was super-responsive throughout our journey. He went to great lengths to make sure we understood everything as we navigated touring homes, making offers, home inspections, and everything else that comes with looking for and buying a home. We feel very lucky to have connected with Andrew and would recommend him in a heartbeat!

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 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 did a phenomenal job selling our house. He and his team had a strong game plan, complete with a timeline for marketing, staging, listing, negotiating, and doing paperwork. Zach spared no expense on marketing. He treated our little house like it was a mansion. We got top dollar for our house thanks to Zach's great work.

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!

Jenny helped us sold our home while we're out of state. She took care of all the details and kept us updated. She understands the local market well and helped us get the right price for the house. Very nice to work with. Thanks.

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.

Zach McDonald was a positive partner with us in our home sale right from the beginning, and we needed that! Even though we knew the Seattle market was easy for sellers, we were relocating and that is never simple. We also knew that there was plenty of inventory to compete at the time when we listed! But Zach's enthusiasm helped get us excited, and he was just a quick phone call away, whenever we needed him to answer questions, clarify, ect. When it came time to list, we were prepared, and amazed at how thorough he was. He posted our property on every app possible, even YouTube and Facebook! (His videographer rocks as well!) Finally, Zach gave us reasonable rather than inflated expectations about when and how our home would sell-I would highly recommend him!

Zach did a great job guiding us through the process and remained positive throughout. We appreciated how he took the time to research our partiticlar property and connected us to other subject matter experts.

Jenny was professional and always followed up with direct communication. I would HIGHLY recommend her to help you execute the sale and purchase of a home!! All documents were sent on time and accurate. She was the best "fan" of us getting into our forever home.

Zach was recommended by a friend and all in all, was great in helping us buy our first home. I really appreciated his attitude and understanding as we were looking. The sale went very smoothly and we are definitely happy with our home. We did find our home on our own and most of the listings that we were interested in was found by us, but Zach was great in scheduling showings and walking us through. I appreciated him sharing his opinions and knowledge of home features and pros/cons, thanks again.

Andrew Schein is the best! I very highly recommend him. Andrew took on a difficult task. My condo had been on the market for 4 months without any offers. The contract had expired with the previous realtor, so I decided to use that as an opportunity to get a new realtor. It was late October, and I was very stressed....needing to get my condo sold before the holidays hit/year end when selling is especially hard. Andrew got the condo staged and re-listed within a week. Within 2 weeks, we had 3 different offers!!! It was beyond my hopes. I was just hoping to sell it. But with multiples offers, we could choose! Andrew was so helpful in getting the best offers and then helping negotiate to close the sale. He's extremely detail-oriented. Reviewed the selling paperwork with me to ensure I understood everything and hadn't put incorrect information by mistake. He was easy to connect with. If something was needed asap, he'd call me directly and go over things in details with me, make sure I understood, and then help me determine best course of action. In what can be a very high stress environment, he's even tempered. Doesn't get all emotional or dramatics. He's a calming energy. He is a professional and has a vast understanding of the business. He is fair to both sides...buyer and seller. He works super hard. I wasn't worrying if he had my condo on his radar. I knew my condo was a priority.

Andrew came highly recommended to us. After interviewing a few agents it was clear we wanted to work with Andrew. We were selling my mom’s house that she had lived in for 55 years in Seattle but we were living in Portland which included additional logistic issues for us. The home hadn’t been updated at all but very well maintained. Andrew's background in construction and design really helped in making decisions on how to market the home and knowing how to show the home which included incredible staging and photography. We never had problems connecting with him, he was always available. Andrew went above and beyond for us. He made us feel like we were his only clients. The home was on the market for one week and brought in multiple offers higher than the listing price. Needless to say we were very pleased with the entire process and outcome. Overall, we highly recommend Andrew for buying or selling any home. He is extremely professional, friendly and fun. It was truly a pleasure working with him.

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!

Sarah is an excellent real estate agent. She takes the time to listen and search for properties that fit your needs. Moving is incredibly stressful and she took the stress away from us. I would recommend her to everyone.

Where do I begin with praise for our real estate professional Vicki Young! From the start, Vicki accepted our "detailed" input and began the hunt for the new house for which my spouse and I were shopping. In addition to securing a house, Vicki also had a full plate knowing that after the purchase of our new home, she would be supporting each of us in the sale of our respective condominium units. Whew...what a job ahead of us! Vicki was realistic in her expectations telling us it would be a big job, but we could do it! It wasn't long before we found a house and successfully navigated a mortgage and the purchase with Vicki's guidance. Next, each of us moved out of our condos and "spruced them up", each on our own timelines. Vicki guided us with quality referrals leading to successful conclusions. My spouse and I had kept a realistic timeframes knowing that doing all of this "during the pandemic" could take 18 months and we were prepared for it. Even through starts and pauses in the process, Vicki's confidence, positive attitude, and hand-holding, coupled with her experience and knowledge, led us through the process from start to finish in eight months! Believe me when I say Vicki will stick with the job until it is finished to your highest expectation. She's a gem and you'd be lucky to have her as your real estate professional!

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!

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.

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!

Zach is a great realtor! He is honest with his feedback and really listens to what you want and helps you find a perfect fit for you! I liked that he was up front and honest about properties that I was interested in and would tell me pros/cons of properties. I felt like i was really taken care of and he wasnt out just to get me to buy a property.

We used McDonald Realty to search in Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mill Creek Mukilteo, and eventually buy in Everett. We are relocating from out of state and buying a new home sight unseen is adds an extra level of difficulty in a tough, competitive market. The whole team worked hard, coordinated well, was very responsive and easy to work with. Zach really knows the market, works really hard, is very smart and informed, and listens to his customers. We highly recommend McDonald Realty with no reservations at all

"We learned about Doug through a referral from a friend of ours and we couldn't have been happier working with him. We contacted him a year before we were ready to move to discuss our plan and ,overtime, asked a lot of questions. From the beginning he was timely in responding and thoughtfully  answered our myriad questions. He came to our house on several occasions to meet with us, long before we were ready to list our house. We really appreciate the time he took with us. Once we were ready to list, the process was seamless and this was because Doug was on top of all the details. Doug has a wealth of experience and clearly knows the realty business. We highly recommend Doug to anyone in need of a listing agent."

Doug was recommended to me several years ago when I started looking for a condo (my first home purchase ever) in North Seattle. A number of my friends had used him when buying their homes, and they could not recommend him highly enough. As soon as we went on our first condo-shopping outing, I saw what they were talking about. Doug not only knows a lot about the real estate market in the area, but he's a very straightforward, no-B.S. kind of guy. His insight and experience were invaluable to me as I navigated what was an intimidating and overwhelming new territory for me. I always felt that Doug put my best interests as the home-buyer first (ahead of say, getting a sale), pointing out the assets and drawbacks of each of the couple dozen condos we visited, much of which I never would have noticed had he not been there. His patience and geniality were wonderful too, making each outing a pleasant experience. I'm so glad I chose Doug as my agent; without him I probably would not have made as well-informed a decision or felt as confident about it as I did. When I am ready to move again, I will be sure to call him up.

Zach was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. From his knowledge of the Seattle market, to negotiating our first and only offer, which was accepted, to recommending a lender, he was instrumental in helping us locate, tour, and ultimately buy our dream home. Anyone looking to buy a home in the greater Seattle area would be well served to have Zach as their agent. I recommend him to anyone I know looking to buy or sell their home.

My husband and I were pretty intimidated by the experience of first time home buying, but Zach made the whole process so easy. He was patient with our *many* questions, negotiated like a pro, and never made us feel pressured. He was communicative and very genuine! I would recommend him to anyone and will definitely hire him again in the future!

Andrew is a very professional and diligent agent. He spent lots of time with me touring properties in different neighborhoods around the city. He really listened to our priorities and passed on lots of new listings that matched our requirements. I work on weekdays, so most communications and house tours ended up in the evenings and weekends -- Andrew was always responsive to phone calls and emails and adjusted to my schedules flexibly. His good insights and experienced perspective into the market helped us make the right decision in a timely manner. He managed all steps of the offer process carefully and efficiently. We are very happy with the house we bought. Big thanks to Andrew!

I had a very tight timeframe to buy a house and Sarah did an excellent job leading me through the process. She knows the Seattle area well, was always available to answer my questions, and helped make the home buying process easy. Thank you Sarah!

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.

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.

Andrew was absolutely fantastic - no sales manipulation, deeply knowledgeable about Seattle and home construction, very personable and always ready to help. We were lucky to find him.

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

Selling the family home, Doug took us through the steps we needed to do for a fast sale. They worked. He is very knowledgeable in all phases of real estate. Our family recommends him highly

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.)

Andrew is a fantastic agent! He took the time right up front to understand what we were looking for and asked great questions. He offered valuable insight and always respected our wishes and what we were looking. In addition he was always available for us. At one point while we were looking he was out of town for a few days and made sure to let us know that he had a plan for being in touch and taking care of what we needed in our absence. He has a great eye for potential in homes, lots of ideas for what you can do with a home and is a consummate professional throughout the process.

I knew selling my late mother's house would be a challenge. It was a modest house in a great neighborhood with views of the Space Needle and downtown but had not been updated in the 47 years my mother had lived there. Choosing the right realtor who could show its potential and generate a lot of interest would be the key factor in having a successful sale. After interviewing several candidates I felt that Andrew was that person. His knowledge of the neighborhood, negotiating experience and background in construction was a definite plus. After meeting with me several times to discuss strategy, Andrew created a marketing plan and timeline that would maximize exposure and encourage multiple offers, which was my goal. Andrew then executed his plan and after an extended showing period several strong offers were received, with the winning offer considerably higher than the listing price. Needless to say I was very pleased with the overall experience and outcome. I would definitely recommend Andrew for anyone looking to sell their house, especially if it is a "diamond in the rough" as was my mother's.
