    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.

    "I really couldn't recommend Andrew enough!"

    Around the time we started looking for a home we saw a property and used Zillow's visit the property feature. A bunch of agents contacted us, left multiple voicemails, put me on mailing lists, called from unknown numbers and left vague voicemails, none about the specific property.Andrew left one voicemail explaining that the property was pending but they we should give him a call if we'd like to see other homes. I called Andrew back and eventually my fiance and I visited him in his office near Northgate where he went over the home buying process, his credentials and answered every (exhausted) question we had. He was very patient, knowledgeable and honest. With our budget, we weren't getting a craftsman in Capitol Hill, but we could get something in Seattle that met our needs with out breaking the bank. Over the next few months we saw houses that were nice but far away, fixer-uppers, small houses, houses in a flight path, flipped houses with a premium price tag for a mediocre paint job, and others my fiance and I just didn't agree on. When he sent us a houses that we liked, he met or drove us to the property in a day or so. I was really surprised initially when he would show us all the flaws, which he saw right away with his history in construction management. One house had a really interesting plank wall, which he showed us was not insulated properly and would likely affect our energy bills. When a house had an undesirable characteristic, he was very honest about the probability of changing it and how much it would cost. We eventually found a house we really liked that was bid out of our price range. Andrew was able get a pulse on the bidding process, and we didn't even submit an offer. We were disheartened, but we didn't have to spend any money. We even backed out of an offer that got accepted after the inspection showed a multitude of problems. Andrew communicated that this was just part of the process and we moved on. Eventually we found another place we liked. Andrew arranged a pre-inspection and we submitted an offer. There were almost 10 other offers on the place, but Andrew put together a really solid offer letter and it was accepted. While researching the home buying process I found that sellers sometimes didn't accept an offer just because the offer wasn't put together well enough. Less than a month later and a document signing arthritic hand later, we had the keys. I really couldn't recommend Andrew enough!

    "Knowledgeable and Professional!"

    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.

    "I Highly Recommend Zach!"

    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.

    "I Would Not Hesitate to Recommend Her to Anyone!"

    "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!"

    " He Was Always Responsive and Professional!"

    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.

    "Amazing Experience!"

    First time home seller. Doug was very realistic in what he thought I could sell my house for as it had unique features that limited the type of buyers. It sold quickly once the price matched with what was selling. Doug made the process easy.

    "We recommend him very highly!"

    We are a recently retired couple moving back to Seattle after many years away. We found Andrew on the internet and met with him before we actually moved and found him to be personable, extremely informative and very helpful. So when we completed our move we began working with him. Andrew spent alot of time introducing us to areas that would likely be in our price range and explaining the situation to us as buyers in a very competitive market. He paid close attention to our reaction to houses and quickly had a good grasp of all the features we most wanted (or didn't want) in a home. This became invaluable as the weeks went by, as he could preview a home for us and let us know if he thought it fit our needs well enough for us to visit it ourselves. We ultimately bid on three different houses, and Andrew was excellent at making sure all the needed steps could be carried out within the very short time window to bid (around a week). He arranged for the inspections we required; walked us through the formalities of submitting a bid as well as the process owners went through to arrive at which bid was ultimately chosen; and made sure our bids were submitted in a timely way. He also kept us apprised of where we were in the process. Andrew's knowledge of home construction and maintenance was invaluable as we assessed to what degree repairs or upgrades might be needed on any particular property. He was able to guesstimate the cost of likely repairs, as well as to refer us to numerous contractors and other specialists once our bid was selected. Even after escrow closed, Andrew has been providing suggestions for contractors to get some of the needed work done on our new home. Andrew has been great to work with because he is straightforward about what he sees as a property's good qualities and flaws, as well as about what he thinks a home will likely sell for (all are substantially above the asking price in this crazy market). He has a great sense of humor and we felt comfortable with him right away. His manner is casual but he is completely professional in his work. He was always accessible and very responsive (esp. via text), and if he didn't have the answer to a question he immediately got the answer from the right source. All in all, our experience working with Andrew was very positive. We felt we were getting good guidance all along, that he listened to us and was able to steer us toward properties we would be most likely to seriously consider, and that he wanted us to find a house that we truly felt good about. We recommend him very highly!

    "Jenny went above and beyond for us!"

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

    " His attention to detail throughout the marketing and sale process was really appreciated!"

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

    "He was able to meet all of my expectations!"

    I thought Andrew did an amazing job throughout the process of looking for my new house. He was available when I requested him and was extremely knowledgeable when it came to my various questions as we went through the purchase. His expertise was greatly appreciated as he helped me get this house by outbidding 9 other people.Andrew also did an amazing job when I listed my condo. Throughout the entire listing process he was able to meet all of my expectations. I was able to get over my asking price and it was a seamless process once he was able to stage, list and come to a mutual agreement. He made it such an easy transition and I was never displaced while I continued to live in my condo. I will definitely go though him again when I'm looking for my next place.

    "She was super engaged and responsive keeping me informed during a flurry of activity!"

    Sara was my agent when I bought my house. She found what ultimately became my house one morning and emailed me the information right away suggesting we act quickly if I was interested because she expected there would be a lot of interest. She was so right.The seller took offers that night and there were multiple offers with escalation clauses and waivers. Sara was solid voice of reason to me in what felt like a whirlwind process. She also gave me great advice about how to craft my offer to be competitive but she was respectful of my boundaries on what I was prepared to offer. She was super engaged and responsive keeping me informed during a flurry of activity. Best of all, I got the house! I credit Sara for that.

    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.

    "Andrew is professional!"

    As a first-time buyer and an immigrant, I highly recommend Andrew as a buyers agent for the following reasons. - Andrew knows the greater Seattle area very well. Obviously he has been in the area for a long time. I vaguely remember he said he grew up in the area. He knows Seattle very well,which is crucial for immigrants like me. In the beginning of my search, my targets were not clear. I could not make up my mind about the area, and even the type of homes I should focus on. His knowledge about Seattle helped me narrow down my targets, and finally found the home I love. - Andrew is professional. As a first-time buyer, I have a lot of noob questions. He set up a video call and educated me the process of home buying. He tried his best to answer all my questions thoroughly with patience and care. He is never impatient even when I asked repetitive questions during the home tours. Andrew significantly alleviated my anxiousness to buy a house for the first time. - Andrew never pushes the clients to increase the offer. Everyone has different preferences. An agent should never push the clients to make an offer just to get the commission. Unfortunately, we still hear or see agents like that from time to time. In contrast, Andrew wants the buyers to get the homes they really love. He even advised against making offers to houses that are not worth it. He advised something like: "this house is XXX at most", "I would not make an offer on this one", "This one would not be competitive", or "We should walk away from this one." (These are probably not his exact words.) - Andrew responds, quickly and professionally. In such a market, we often need to discuss and to make decisions quickly, which requires the communications between the buyers and the agents to be quick and clear. It sounds simple, but it is not easy and Andrew is good at it. Once I changed my mind and decided to make an offer on a home in less than 12 hours. Andrew still made it happen! I can make many more bullets, but you know what we mean. I highly recommend Andrew as a buyer's agent.

    "We would love to work with Andrew again on our next purchase."

    Andrew helped us purchasing our first condo home, and before we finally decided on purchasing Andrew has been showing us around and sending us updates for more than a year, Andrew has been extremely patient and always nice and responsive to our requests. One example is in the middle of purchasing and close to closing stage,we decided to switch to a different loan provider just because a much better rate, Andrew helped us thoroughly think through the pros/cons, and actively communicated with seller and reached mutual agreement so that we could get some extension and switch to the ideal loan agent. The entire purchasing experience was incredible and we couldn't be happier with our new home, and we can't do that without Andrew's great work, I would highly recommend Andrew as buying agent and would love to work with Andrew again on our next purchase.

    "We recommended Andrew for a successful purchase in this market in Seattle!"

    We bought our first house with Andrew Schein two month ago. Andrew is a genuinely nice local Real Estate Professional of WA, he is knowledgeable around NW/NE Seattle, is easy to work with, is very patient, with rich knowledge about types of construction, with good verbal communication and excellent feedback during our questions,focused all the time to lead us in the right direction of what we wanted to purchase, as well as always having a big and honest smile, pretty enthusiastic and smart person, polite and discreet with all around; all this constantly during the 10 months of process. We explained to Andrew the we are looking for a fixer house in a specific neighborhood, location and budget, so that was not easy to match these days, due the fact that there are houses demolished every day in Seattle and there could be building a duplex or a tower next to your dream home. Andrew was extremely helpful in educating and teaching us to understand the actual quality of the houses and he gives us a piece of mind; overview the type of construction and characteristics, we inspect the houses with time and discretion. It also helps to know the potentials cost on the repairs of houses, while keeping in focus what we want to have in terms of final house and not in what he can potential sell to us, we never felt rushed or pressured, even though, he always was on the top of what was new in the market according the what we wanted to purchase, he texted and e-mailed us all the time, so pretty often we were looking the very next day at the houses. His expertise was evident when I traveled abroad and Andrew and my husband visited some houses without me, with the help of Skype, Andrew was talking and describe the houses, structures, sizes and keeping in mind what was my preferences in the house, I was nervous at some points but when he was telling me about my preferences on a house I truly believe that he has my back. We kept continued communication via e mails until him and my husband put an offer on that house. Andrew's expertise showed even more when we went through the buying process, he tracked details about negotiations and papers, making it easy to trust him in the process of buying a house. We recommended Andrew for a successful purchase in this market in Seattle. We have our beautiful fixed house with a lot of potential, and Andrew keeps in touch with us.

    "Doug is a true professional."

    Doug is a true professional. Ultimately we had no idea where we were going to purchase a home. We had it narrowed down to both the 1-5 and the 405 corridor so pretty much any good neighborhood on the east side OR the west side. Doug was patient and knowledgeable, not only about the neighborhoods but also homes in general.Many times I found myself asking him his opinion about structure, remodels etc, no shortage of information, BUT if he did not know, he was up front with me and later email me the answer. We spent a lot of time in the car, riding with Doug was a real pleasure, he has a good sense of humor which kept us going when at times the wind was out of our sails. I would recommend Doug for many reasons but what really stood out was the following; he was fair, patient, professional, prompt, punctual, passionate and he made time for us. This is the type of agent you want to work with, no frills, no gimmicks, just excellent service.
