    "He was attentive, responsive, and a good negotiator!"
    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 Strongly Recommend His Services!"
    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

    "We Learned a Lot in Working With Him!"
    Zach was a wonderful guide to the Seattle real estate scene! He proved to be an invaluable resource in navigating the complexities of the current market, presenting accurate information about pricing and bids without placing any pressure on us as buyers.We appreciated how he got to know us as prospective homeowners and were impressed with how quickly he was able to send us listings tailored to our tastes and price range. Our list of "asks" in a home was a bit more complex than the average buy, but Zach was never discouraged in our search. His confidence and optimism kept the process enjoyable, and we would highly recommend him to any prospective buyer! We learned a lot in working with him, and commend his excellent communication and dedication.

    "On Top of All the Details!"
    "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."

    "The Sale Went Very Smoothly!"
    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.

I appreciated him sharing his opinions and knowledge of home features and pros/cons, thanks again.

    "We credit this to Andrew's diligence and desire to do what is best for his clients."
    Andrew was an excellent agent for us. He was resilient in finding homes that fit our criteria and always available to tour homes, answer phone calls and answered many questions we had. Andrews experience in the construction industry proved invaluable as he was able to see spaces and in a different way and offer insight to their potential or point out red flags that would be costly in the long run.Once we found a house we liked, Andrew quickly and thoroughly put together an excellent offer and our first offer was accepted!! We credit this to Andrew's diligence and desire to do what is best for his clients. We highly recommend Andrew to anyone in search of a home in the Seattle area as his work ethic and expertise will find you the perfect home.

    "Highly likely to recommend"
    Doug took our house just after the housing crash and urged us to ride out the down swing by renting. He told us when the market was hot and how to get the house in order and prepare it for sale. Within a week of listing we had multiple offers and a buyer was selected based on Doug's recommendation.Bottom line we have smiles all around.

    "I Would More Than Highly Recommend Zach MCDONALD!"
    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 cannot recommend working with Andrew strongly enough."
    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.

    "Highly likely to recommend"
    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.

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!!

    "Thank You Zach!"
    First time home buyer. It's an overwhelming process. Zach made it manageable by providing expert guidance at each step: From a personal interview, providing detailed technical information at each location, crafting a suitable winning strategy, to seemlessly bridging both sides until keys are transferred.Now I live in a house that feels like home. Thank you Zach

    "Highly likely to recommend"
    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.

    "Zach McDonald Has Been a Blast to Work With!"
    Zach McDonald has been a blast to work with! Met him by random chance at an open house of his, told him that my previous realtor was being very unresponsive, and he immediately stepped up to the plate. Within the first few hours of meeting him, he had already set up a showing that same day with a property that I was interested in viewing.I was very impressed by his motivation and drive to find me the home that I wanted. He is very quick to respond to emails, phone calls, and texts, and keeps in contact with you throughout the week, whether it's with potential properties, or just to check in and see what he can do for you. Zach also has an awesome team along side him. They made the closing process fly by with ease. He likes to surround himself with the best in the business so he can provide his clients with the best service possible. I would definitely recommend Zach to anyone looking for a motivated realtor that actually makes the house hunting process enjoyable and simple.

    "You will love working with Doug Holman!"
    Selling my condo in a difficult market was challenging, but working with Doug was a rewarding experience. His extensive background in real estate and finance, combined with his intelligence, common sense, down to earth values, and sense of humor made the entire process so much easier than it should have been.He makes the whole process feel like working with a good friend, rather than an agent, and he's very responsive to your requests and concerns. Doug listens patiently to what his clients want, then suggests the best approach without forcing it. He's so tuned in to the market that he knows what works and what doesn't, and he's pleasant and fun to work with. I can't think of an agent with a better combination of real estate and people skills. Ultimately, my condo sold at the price I wanted, and the transaction couldn't have gone more smoothly. Doug even dropped by my condo on closing day to see if I needed any help putting the finishing touches on the cleanup. You will love working with Doug Holman!

    "Zach Provided a Fantastic Service!"
    Zach provided a fantastic service and I would not hesitate to use him again or refer him to family and friends looking for a house. The Seattle market is red hot at the moment so to get a house you need to find someone who will respect your direction and needs but also nudge you where you need to be nudged and figure out angles to land a property.And then when a hurdle arises you, as one did in my deal, you need someone to jump in and serve your interests to get a resolution. Zach is a great partner for you to have. Call him today !

    "Excellent knowledge"
    Doug has excellent knowledge of the property holdings in the Seattle area, an accurate meter for gauging the true value of a home and seeing its potential, the ability to match potential properties to a buyer's interests and lifestyle, a great feel for the where there is and is not room for negotiation in the sales process,and a great manner that keeps both sides at ease during the entire course of the transaction. His professionalism, honesty and integrity are impeccable. I have worked with Doug on five or six transactions with great satisfaction, would use him again myself, have regularly recommended him to others, and will continue to do so.
