    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.

    "We are very happy with the house we bought. Big thanks to Andrew!"
    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!

    "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.

    "We are so glad we got to work with Andrew!"
    Andrew helped make the home buying process feel more manageable. He answered all our first-time homebuyer questions with a great amount of detail and helped us take the right steps, at the right time, to help us get into the right house. We are so glad we got to work with Andrew.

    "Zach Will Be Our Go-to Agent in Future!"
    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.

    "I Would Recommend Zach to Anyone I Know!"
    Working with Zach was great. We needed to both sell and buy a house and before we ever committed to doing this, Zach consulted with us on our options and the different challenges we would face given the market at the time in early January 2020 (current market inventory,how buyers will view contingency at different times of the year, how he manages the full experience). This conversation gave us confidence that the time of the year was most advantageous given we would be on contingency. When we did decide move forward, Zach was immediately communicative and helped us to get connected across the board (loan companies he has had success with, how to setup a contingent offer for a quick close, more information about the area we were hoping to find a house in). Zach makes sure that his customers have a good idea of what to expect throughout the buying process. Part of this was weekly follow ups on how we were feeling about the process, about anything we were looking at, or especially later in the process, when under contract, updates on where his team is at with working with the other buyers and sellers to get everything sorted out. We didn't feel like we were caught off guard throughout the process which was important given the number of things that needed to happen in a short period in market where houses can go in 3 days. Last thing I would note is Zach has integrity and we were comfortable trusting him to get us through the process. There a lot of people with "real estate licenses" (read with air quotes) and Zach is a professional who understands the level of effort needed to offer a good experience for a huge life decision. I would recommend Zach to anyone I know.

    "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.

    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.

    "His Attention to detail is excellent! "
    Doug Holman's attention to detail really sets him apart from other sellers. I have sold four homes over the last 8 years and by far, Doug was the best. He stays engaged not only during the listing process but really takes the time to make sure the house is staged properly and is looking its best for a great sale.We sold our home at the slowest period of the year and he put in time to draw the few buyers in with open houses and networking with buyers agents. Doug did not encourage us to take the first offer on the table either as I have seen from other agents, he knew what we could target for a sale price and we stuck to our guns, it was worth following his good advice. I would use Doug again for either selling or buying and if you are in the market, I wouldn't recommend any other agent than Doug.

    "We Absolutely Loved Working With Him!"
    My wife and I are first-time homebuyers. We both knew Zach from college, and were so excited to work with a trusted friend throughout our first-ever home-buying experience! Zach went above and beyond each step of the way. He never hesitated to say "yes" when my wife and I stumbled upon one, two,or three houses that looked like winners, and quickly asked to go view them ("Drop everything - we have to see this one!"). On countless occasions, he offered up his time to meet us somewhere to chat during weekdays or weekends, call us to check-in or explain more of the complicated steps in the home-buying process, and email back after we'd ask close to 15,000 long and detailed questions (well, maybe not quite that many...). He provided an outstanding level of education to help us learn along the way - using his own videos to teach us things while we were at home or on the go - so that everything in the process was transparent and understandable. Zach never hid information from us, and approached each conversation with a genuine desire to see us make a wise decision - one that would be best for US. We were particularly impressed by Zach's expertise on the Greater Seattle area housing market (he's done a TON of research and knows his stuff!!!), and his understanding of what makes a winning home offer (he helped us bring our A-game to the table and succeed with our first and only offer!!!). Every one of his recommendations was solid, too, whether it was for a particular loan officer or home inspector, or for some things to be mindful of when viewing a house and how it's laid-out, constructed, or maintained. Bottom line: Zach is the man. We absolutely LOVED working with him. We felt so valued as his clients during the home-buying process, from start to finish. He inspired confidence each step of the way, and we couldn't have asked for a better or more ideal person to be on our team for this experience. We would relish the opportunity to recommend Zach to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area, so they could have the same wonderful experience we did. Thanks again, Zach! :)

    "We Couldn’t Recommend Him More Highly!"
    "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."

    "The Marketing of Our House Was Very Professionally Done!"
    We sold a house and bought a new one with Zach and were pleased with the whole experience! The marketing of our house was very professionally done. What really set Zach above other real estate agents for us was his ability to negotiate in the purchase of our house.This is incredibly important given the tight market in the Puget Sound area.

    "We cannot recommend Andrew more highly!"
    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!

    "I Really Enjoyed Working With Zac!"
    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.

    "Zach Is Unique in a Great Way!"
    Zach is unique in a great way. I've worked with 2 real estate agents in the past with mixed results. Zach in comparison was available to answer questions throughout the process and I never felt I was on the back-burner. End result, I got a better deal than what I expected b/c of him. I'm not a fan of agents that sound more like sales trying to convince you a house is nice.Instead, Zach would let me draw my own conclusions about a property and be upfront when he thought something may be 'off'. Most important of all, it was his negotiating skills combined with his scheduling bids on needed work on the house that got me a good deal. You won't be disappointed when you choose to work with him.

    "He Was a Pleasure to Work With!"
    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.

    We worked with Andrew to buy our first home in a super competitive market. He has been nothing but professional and patient! He has extensive knowledge of the Seattle market and the 'architect eye' when it comes to details. We would highly recommend him.

    "Pragmatic Approach!"
    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!

    "It’s Really Great to Work With Zach!"
    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.

    "I recommend him most highly for all real estate transactions."
    Our family has had three real estate transactions with Andrew, one purchase and two sales. I become more impressed with him each time. In the past I was a real estate broker so I am acquainted with many realtors. I can honestly say I have never known a real estate professional that works harder or is more efficient than Andrew.There is no question in my mind because of Andrew's efforts we realized more money and our properties sold quicker (3 days and 24 hours!) I will consult Andrew on any future real estate transactions. I recommend him most highly for all real estate transactions.
