"He was incredibly skilled and respectful in his communication with seller’s agents!"
Andrew was a fantastic resource and guide for the very stressful, fast-paced, and confusing process of buying a home in Seattle in this market. He knows the area and market well and has a high end construction background so he can make educated guesses about possible updates (and their costs),which we found very helpful. Most importantly his approach is diligent and objective, answering all our questions exactly as we asked them, making no effort to sway or rush our decision-making. And we took a while to find the right home! He was incredibly skilled and respectful in his communication with seller’s agents and we felt we often got extra consideration from agents because they enjoyed working with Andrew. He’s a gem and we highly recommend him!

"We would highly recommend Vicki!!"
In a tough market, couldn't have asked for a better agent and advocate. She had a knack for balancing both my husbands and my opinions and helped us make the choices that suited us both. Not only did Vicki have all the skills necessary to navigate us through a very competitive market,but she did it with such grace that she kept us calm all the way through the process. We would highly recommend Vicki for her patience, negotiating skills, and extensive knowledge and understanding of the local Real Estate market.

"My Expectations Were Greatly Exceeded!"
"Gordon and his team at RPA did a fantastic job on the sale of my duplex in Magnolia. He provided very valuable information early in the process such as timing of the listing and 1031 exchange support. I was at first skeptical about his pricing strategy but in the end, my expectations were greatly exceeded!Gordon is supported by a great team who helped prep the property for sale with repairs and cleaning and they even resolved an old permit issue from 1995 in a few days. I couldn't be more pleased with the job he did, giving great advice while working diligently through a number of buyer related challenges and delays."

"Went Above Expectations!"
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.

"Excellent Realtor!"
Doug made buying our first home easy. Unlike other agents we worked with, he never pressured us from the start -- or ever. He gave us a fair look at the pros and cons of each of the many houses we looked at. He answered numerous emails and phone calls promptly and consistently gave a running timeline of where we were in the process and what we could look forward to next.<br/><br/>In the beginning, the pace was relaxed for everyone, but when the search became serious, Doug's responsiveness ramped up in helping us find and communicate with a lender, inspector, etc. When we finally made a bid, he urged us to include an elevator clause -- something neither my husband nor I or many of our home-owning friends -- had ever heard of. The clause helped us beat several other offers. He helped us communicate with the former owners (who were still renting back) when we wished to buy some of the furniture and art we saw during the staging. <br/><br/>Ultimately, this process was as smooth as we could expect, and we appreciated Doug's forthrightness, honesty, timeliness, and personable demeanor. <br/><br/>Thanks for helping us buy our home, Doug!

"Zach Was Very Helpful at All Times!"
Zach was very helpful at all times with his recommendations and advice in the process of placing our home on the market. He went through our home with us and gave us much insight into preparing our home to show well. Zach did a fantastic job in marketing our home with use of 3D video tour of our home as well as videography using a drone to highlight the outside of the property,and the several open houses which he personally handled.
Zach is a consummate professional in the way he handles all the details. I would highly recommend and refer to Zach McDonald. Thank you, Zach.

"Andrew comes across very professional to everyone he is contact with."
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.

"He Made Our Purchase Process as Easy and Simple as Possible!"
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 lackswhen 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.

"We are so fortunate to have had Andrew as our realtor and would highly recommend him!"
Andrew is a very dedicated and trustworthy agent with extensive knowledge of the real estate market, the negotiation process, construction, design and beyond. This is our first home purchase and Andrew walked us through patiently and competently every step of the way.We were very specific about which neighborhood we wanted to live in to stay in our current school district that is seeing extremely high competition levels. Andrew learned our preferences quickly, previewed houses for us and with his design and construction background helped us see the potential that houses had to offer. We always felt like his only client (even though he is quite full) and he was able to accommodate our schedules and answer all of our questions thoroughly. He managed the negotiation process masterfully making sure we stayed within our budget.
Once we bought our house, Andrew went above and beyond the call of duty helping us to find general contractors and brainstorm how to update our home to meet our needs.
We are so fortunate to have had Andrew as our realtor and would highly recommend him!

"Never Did We Feel Pressured or Rushed!"
Without Zach's knowledge and expertise we would not have been able to secure the home that we are in. We were able to get a quick escrow, with Zach's recommendations, and move in right as our currently living situation was coming to an end. The home buying experience didn't go as smooth as we would have liked but with Zach's negotiations we were able to make up the difference.He was on time, professional and well mannered. Never did we feel pressured or rushed and we will use him to purchased our next home.

"Jenny was great!"
Jenny was great - she knows her stuff, and has contacts for anything you can need as you're selling your home. Plus, her husband even came out to fix something that was beyond my expertise (which, to be clear, lots of things are beyond my handyman skills). It was truly a full-service experience!

"Happily Own the Condo That I’ve Always Wanted!"
I've been thinking of buying a home for a while, and I finally contacted Zach to help me explore my options. This is the first home that I bought, so I needed a lot of help learning about the process. We met at Starbucks a couple days after I contacted him,and he explained the whole process to me and he also asked me a lot of questions so that he could learn what I was looking for and what price range was realistic for me.
We started looking for homes, and I quickly found what I was looking for. He took care of the making the offer and all of that for me, and he was very responsive and helpful throughout that process. We finally closed and now I happily own the condo that I've always wanted!

"Excellent Realtor!"
Steve is an excellent realtor and made our first home buying experience in Seattle a pleasure. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He's also an all around great person to work with and entrust with this big life decision. He is trustworthy and reliable and made us feel very comfortable with the process.Steve made himself available to us on short notice to see MANY homes throughout our search. In fact, he also discovered and recommended the home we eventually purchased. He was extremely patient with us and gave honest advice when he felt a home or neighborhood may not have been the best option. 5 stars and highly recommend working with Steve.
