    "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!

    "Andrew is highly professional, responsive, trustworthy, & knowledgeable!"

    Working with Andrew was an absolutely pleasure, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home in the area. Being a first-time home buyer, I greatly appreciated Andrew’s expertise as I navigated a highly-competitive market. Andrew helped me understand every step of the process,he was creative and proactive in strategizing how to be as competitive as possible. I also appreciate that he has a background in high-end real estate development, and he had great insight into the quality of different properties as well as projects that could increase the value of potential homes. Andrew is highly professional, responsive, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and just a pleasure to work with. I couldn't be happier with the service he provided.

    "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.

    "We would absolutely work with Andrew again!"

    Andrew came highly recommended to my wife & I by a few different friends. What initially caught my attention was his background in architecture & construction. As first-time homebuyers, having his experienced eyes on our potential homes helped us understand what types of projects would be the ones we'd want to take on versus the types that we didn't want to get involved with.Beyond his experience and knowledge base in these areas, strictly as an agent, he proved to be a very professional high-level performer. We never had problems getting in touch with him, and never felt that we were in the dark with any steps in the process. When we wanted to make an offer, the turnaround time from that decision to the moment we were e-signing was rarely longer than an hour. We did end up looking during a time when he had a vacation scheduled (yes, even real estate agents have to get away!) but he lined up exceptional coverage for us during that time and we can honestly say that it didn't hinder our search at all. Though we were looking to buy a home during the slowest time of the year (November - December), we could tell that Andrew was very accustomed to the competitive nature of the Seattle market. He knew what strategies would make offers look appealing while staying within our parameters. It also meant a lot to us that even though we were looking in a price range that is lower compared to most of Seattle, the attention that Andrew gave us was exceptional. We looked at numerous homes in a last-minute fashion, and Andrew was as eager as we were to find a time to make appointments like those work. I think it's also worth noting that he worked very smoothly in tandem with our mortgage broker, making sure no details were ever lost. Especially after talking with other friends who have been through the home buying process, we could tell that we had been working with an all-star. We would absolutely work with Andrew again whenever we make the decision to buy or sell another home.

    "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.

    " I Would Definitely Recommend to Anyone!"

    Andrew went out of his way to accommodate any requests that I had. He had the breakdown of average home prices and surveyed my house within 24 hours to give an estimate of the selling price. Throughout the process Andrew was in constant contact and gave timely updates. He helped me through the process as painlessly as possible,I would definitely recommend to anyone out there looking to sell their home.

    "I Would Work With Him Again!"

    I would absolutely use Zach again if I had the need. I was an out of state seller and it was difficult for me to keep focus on what needed to be done up in Washington state, when I was creating a new home way south in Arizona. A: Zach kept me completely informed on what was going on all the time. B: Zach managed jobs for me that I couldn't easily do as an out of state owner.He made sure the carpet was replaced and garbage/trash was removed from previous renters. I'm sure there were other things that he did but I can't recall at this point. Yes, it's been a couple of months. C: Zach kept me informed all the time of what was going on. He's very much into social media and keeping you informed with weekly calls and more if needed. D: From my neighbors point of view, he had the best Open House of all time.... I can't set 'your' expectations, but he had sandwiches and other refreshments during the open house that really impressed a lot of people. I was not disappointed with Zach at all. He is young, hungry, and willing to work with and for you. If I had the opportunity, I would work with him again. Kelli

    "Very straightforward"

    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.

    "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 Loved Working With Zach!"

    Working with Zach on our home sale was the best decision we made. His honest, straightforward approach to the listing process calmed our nerves in an otherwise unknown territory. Along the way, he shared tips and included us in his expertise of when to list and what to highlight—acting on proven results from prior experience.These were all contributing factors to an effortless sale. He was impressively responsive, would reply to our questions immediately, and checked-in with us before the close of each week. It was also very easy to relate to Zach and talk through the entire process. He approached us as friends, but handled things as a professional and paid keen attention to even the littlest detail. We loved working with Zach!

    "I would highly recommend him!"

    Andrew is a very impressive professional. He fully informed himself about the building in which my unit was located. He made suggestions about repairs, painting, etc., and scheduled all the work with reasonably priced providers with whom he has worked. Once the unit was listed,Andrew worked tirelessly to conduct Open Houses and showings with other agents. When a buyer appeared and an offer was made, Andrew was very skillful in dealing with the buyer's agent, negotiating to clear inspection items, and working with the buyer's lending institution to provide additional information. Andrew was very patient and kept the buyer fully informed. This led to a successful closing. I would highly recommend him.

    "We Really Enjoyed Working With Zach and the Team!"

    We really enjoyed working with Zach and the team. Throughout our search for a home they consistently were our advocate. And now after we've already closed Zach still continues to show us we're part of the family by checking in and inviting us to events.

    "Highly likely to recommend"

    It really doesn't get much better than Doug. I was a first time home buyer when I was working with Doug and he could not have been a better match for me. Doug was able to provide me with insight on things I knew nothing about and played a key role in making me feel 100% sure about my decisions.There was a time during the closing process where things got a little hairy and I began to stress out. I honestly don't think I would have made it through that process without Doug coaching me along the way and providing his established insight. His experience and knowledge in the industry shines through while working with him. I will continue to use Doug for years to come!

    "We will not hesitate to use Andrew again for any of our real estate needs that pop up!"

    I serve as the Treasurer for the HOA for our condo building and we had a unit that the association actually owned and we were looking to sell. Andrew came recommended to us and we could not have been more pleased with his professionalism, knowledge, and overall approach to selling a unit for a good price despite challenges due to overall market conditions.Andrew was there for us every step of the way explaining his strategy and walking us through the process. In the end, the unit sold incredibly quickly and for a price that the association felt very good about. We will not hesitate to use Andrew again for any of our real estate needs that pop up.

    " We can't recommend him enough - thank you Andrew!"

    Andrew is an incredible partner to have in the home buying or selling process - and we've used him for both! Most recently, we sold our Ballard townhome, which he helped us purchase three years prior, and the process was seamless from start to finish. We trusted Andrew's market knowledge and experience to help guide our decisions when it came to listing time,price and offer reviews. He went above and beyond to help with staging and photographing the home, even bringing in pieces he personally owned to round out the space. We had an amazing experience buying our first home with Andrew's help, which was mirrored in our selling experience. We can't recommend him enough - thank you Andrew!

    "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.

    "Andrew is an awesome realtor!"

    Andrew is an awesome realtor. We recently purchased a home with Andrew's help and every single time we viewed a home we felt extremely confident knowing that Andrew's experience, knowledge, and professionalism would help guide us in the right direction.We were quite picky in evaluating what homes we were interested in and at no point did we feel any pressure whatsoever from Andrew. He knows the Seattle and surrounding area extremely well and could point out things in homes we never would have considered without his knowledge. If you're looking for a realtor, you won't find a better one than Andrew.

    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!

    Jerad was professional, attentive, and extremely helpful in the search of my very first condo. He listened to my needs and sent me numerous listings daily. He made himself readily available in order to be the first to tour new listings. He would even pre-tour the listings before we toured them to ensure it would be something I was interested in.Jerad had extensive knowledge of the neighborhoods in Seattle and made the process easy for me. Though I ultimately decided that it was not the right time for me to purchase a condo, I would highly recommend Jerad to anyone looking to purchase a home.

    "I would recommend him as a real estate agent to family and friends without hesitation!"

    My wife and I had an amazing home buying experience with Andrew. We were moving to Seattle without any local knowledge or references. I noted his positive reviews on Zillow and decided to give him a call. I’m sure glad I did. Andrew went above and beyond for us.We were out of town buyers and could only make it out to view properties on one particular weekend. He gave us his undivided attention and arranged for us to see a long list of properties. He was willing and able to adjust on the fly once we realized we didn’t like a particular neighborhood, even though the majority of the properties we had planned to see were located there. Andrew helped us construct a competitive offer, which was accepted for our perfect home. He managed to talk me out of offering too much which speaks to his honesty and integrity. Throughout the process he gave us sound advice and was always willing to tell us the pros and cons of each house or neighborhood. Overall, I never felt pressured. After we closed on the house, but before we could move to Seattle, Andrew arranged for a number of bids to refinish the floors and personally oversaw the work. I would recommend him as a real estate agent to family and friends without hesitation!

    "Willing to work with his clients"

    Doug assisted me (as a buyer's agent) with my first home purchase in 1994. Unlike other agents who I considered using at the time, Doug was not pushy, and indicated his willingness to work with me even when I wasn't sure at the time if I was ready to buy then, or wanting to wait a few months.Doug walked me through the process from Step 1 completely through the purchase, and was professional, easy to work with, patient with my many questions, and made sure the sale went through without any problems. When I was ready to sell that first house in 2003, Doug did a fantastic job of marketing the property and handling the sale. I had an offer and purchase and sale agreement after two days. Doug recently completed the sale of our second house, in September 2011. These are more uncertain times, but Doug once again did a fantastic job for us, and resulted in a sale after a very short listing period. Doug's thoughtful, careful analysis of house preparation, pricing, staging, listing, and handling of the ensuing transaction was professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. It was really nice to know that we could turn to Doug to handle our sale without a moment's hesitation. He once again did a truly exceptional job for us. We have referred Doug to family, friends, and acquaintances, and everyone has been very happy with his services. I look forward to having Doug handle all of my future real estate needs.

    We were so pleased with our experience working with Andrew to sell our Fremont condo. His market knowledge was exceedingly important in determining timing and pricing strategy for the sale. He was spot on with his recommendations based on seasonality. He also was very hands on and kept us up to date throughout the process.He worked directly with vendors for pre-sale improvements, which ensured we got top dollar. I would definitely recommend using Andrew to help navigate the complex and challenging Seattle real estate market for both buyers and sellers
