    "Honest and Professional"
    When I wanted to downsize, I hired Doug Holman as my realtor. I liked his honesty and professionalism when communicating with me. He never sugars coated anything, but he's not pushy. Whenever I needed an answer regarding a property, he was very prompt to respond. He listened to me,making sure I was comfortable to make a well-informed decision. Most importantly, his knowledge and experience in the real estate industry helped me save a lot of money. He even helped me beyond and above his role as my realtor when I desperately needed help.

    "Knows the area and market really well."
    Jennifer grew up in the North End of Seattle and knows the area and market really well. She advised us on the sale of my mother’s home, and timed it perfectly. She knew just how to describe it, advised us on minor maintenance items and was very responsive to questions from prospective clients. We received several very good offers,and a Jennifer was able to talk us through the pros and cons of each similar offer. We’ve sold several private houses as well as commercial properties, both by owner and with agents, and this experience was by far the smoothest. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for, or hoping to sell, a property.

    "I Would Highly Recommend Him!"
    Zach McDonald was a positive partner with us in our home sale right from the beginning, and we needed that! Even though we knew the Seattle market was easy for sellers, we were relocating and that is never simple. We also knew that there was plenty of inventory to compete at the time when we listed!But Zach's enthusiasm helped get us excited, and he was just a quick phone call away, whenever we needed him to answer questions, clarify, ect. When it came time to list, we were prepared, and amazed at how thorough he was. He posted our property on every app possible, even YouTube and Facebook! (His videographer rocks as well!) Finally, Zach gave us reasonable rather than inflated expectations about when and how our home would sell-I would highly recommend him!

    "I Definitely Would Recommend Him to Others!"
    I found Zach on Zillow with all of the positive feedback. I did a lot of legwork myself in trying to figure out which unit that I am interested in. However, I was out of town and didn't have the time to visit the place. I called Zach and he offered to stop by the place to visit and walked through the place with me and my wife with Facetime.It was that extra touch and offer that helped us decide that he was the right guy to go with. From there, he provided good knowledge of information on what to expect (the crazy pricing in Seattle) and what to watch out for and even provide us recommendation on great Mortgage person. All went pretty smoothly and we were able to close our townhouse in less than 30 days. Zach was great at following up, every Tuesday and Friday with any updates or simply just saying hi. I appreciate his work ethic and knowledge of the area that made the whole process less stressful. I definitely would recommend him to others and will work with him again in the future.

    "Every time, he’s brought the same dedication & understanding."
    I bought the first house Doug showed me – after I made him show me at least 6 more. I mean really, just because he took the time to learn about me: what I wanted, needed, craved, secretly hungered for in a neighborhood and home, why should I just blindly follow his advice? Because he’s good. Really good.He really listened to what I wanted, added what he knew I needed, and topped it all off with what was best in the short AND long term. Twelve years’ later, I’ve bought and sold other properties with Doug. I’m talkin’ multiple, here. And every time, he’s brought the same dedication, understanding, and bone-deep knowledge of real estate to the process. Not to mention his knowledge of me. He’s been right, every single time. Right enough that I send my friends to him. I trust Doug Holman, and you should too.

    "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.

    "He offered valuable insight and always respected our wishes and what we were looking."
    Andrew is a fantastic agent! He took the time right up front to understand what we were looking for and asked great questions. He offered valuable insight and always respected our wishes and what we were looking. In addition he was always available for us.At one point while we were looking he was out of town for a few days and made sure to let us know that he had a plan for being in touch and taking care of what we needed in our absence. He has a great eye for potential in homes, lots of ideas for what you can do with a home and is a consummate professional throughout the process.

    "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.

    "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.

    "Competent and Experienced"
    Jenny Boffiou was referred to my husband and I by my friend Michelle, who told me “Jenny is no nonsense and gets it done!” Jenny Boffiou turned out to be the greatest realtor we could ever have. First, Jenny is very competent and experienced and she knows how to price, show and sell properties.She sold our property to the first prospective buyer who attended the first open house. Second, Jenny kept us extremely well informed by giving us an early education on how to sell and by responding promptly to all our emails, text messages and calls. Third, Jenny prevented me from worrying by promptly giving me the answers, guidance and reassurance I needed. Jenny is down to earth, firmly grounded, generous, kind, intuitive and deeply caring. She is an excellent realtor and will always be our only realtor.

    "A Pleasure to Work With"
    Sarah was a pleasure to work with in selling our house. Her being fluent in Spanish very much helped with some of the contractors who worked on getting the house ready for sale. She was always dependable, had wonderful suggestions and perspective. If I have future business of similar kind I would not hesitate to contact her to work with her again.

    "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."

    "Steve is a real estate wizard."
    Steve is a real estate wizard. He took the time to understand what we were looking for, collaborated with us on choosing places to tour, and in the end, he was the one who actually found us our dream home. It was a property that was going to go quickly, but thanks to Steve's guidance,we were able to put in a competitive offer and get it accepted. Of course, Steve did not stop there! As we are first-time homebuyers, he guided us through the process from start to finish. He made sure to connect us with professionals ranging from our mortgage loan consultant to our insurance agent to our electrician. No detail was too small for Steve - from poring over condo bylaws to following up on an old boiler's warranty. He was even the one up on a twenty-foot ladder changing our lights for us in our new place on the day we picked up our keys! Steve brings years of experience with this market, a ton of expertise, and a serious dedication to finding clients the right home for them. Plus he is great to hang out with on house tours! We have already referred him to our friends starting the homebuying process and we can't recommend him highly enough.

    "Kind, Professional, Thorough, and Attentive to OUR needs. "
    Doug was great to work with - a real gentleman. He made the process of finding our house enjoyable. He was kind, professional, thorough, and attentive to OUR needs. He drove us around until we found the perfect place -- even took us back to it after we initially scoffed at it. He was right; the house we purchased,for our price range, was the best of what we could afford. He found us a great house in a great neighborhood and held our hand the whole way through. Doug made me feel like I had someone in my corner who was sincerely there for me as he advocated for us every step of the way. I would recommend him wholeheartedly.

    "Andrew went above and beyond to get quotes from various contractors."
    Mr. Schein was patient and followed me around Seattle touring at least 50+ homes for the better part of a year, only putting in an offer on 3 properties; despite this, he was quick to respond and always excited to tour more. Andrew, is very personable, he put me at ease throughout the whole process (my first home)and I never felt pressured, despite my foot dragging. Though I only placed three offers, his expertise showed through in how we navigated completely different situations to the right outcome for me: a competitive house with 6 offers, out of country owners, and finally the late-season purchase of a home on the market only 2 weeks. I couldn't be more content with the house I ended up with, zero buyers remorse, it's everything I wanted. During the closing process, Andrew went above and beyond to get quotes from various contractors and even measure external building dimensions himself to help me sort out future possibilities for the house while staying within building code.

    "We highly recommend Andrew to any first-time homebuyer!"
    As first-time homebuyers, we had no idea what we were doing when we first contacted Andrew. He patiently answered every question we had and took us to view properties on short notice. That kind of responsiveness to our needs made the daunting task of buying a home seem totally manageable. Somehow,in this crazy Seattle housing market, Andrew made the whole process smooth and nonthreatening. We highly recommend Andrew to any first-time homebuyer who is looking for some solid guidance in navigating the Seattle housing scene.

    Gordon and his team represented our property expertly. They made excellent listing and preparation recommendations, were very in tune with the location & market, handled the selling process, and closed the deal. They also had to deal with several "surprises" throughout and did a great job of addressing and keeping the process moving.Couldn't ask for a better team! Completely recommend it without hesitation!

    "He was easy to work with!"
    I happened to meet Doug Holman by happenstance when I stopped by an open house for a townhome in the Greenlake area. Not a fan of most salespeople I've encountered, real estate or other, I was extremely impressed by Doug's demeanor. He immediately came off as genuine and friendly but not overbearing or pushy.I felt an instant trust and comfort with him that I decided to ask him to assist me as my agent. Initially, Doug took me out to get a feel of places or layouts I would like in my home. After a couple of meetings, I decided to postpone my purchase and rent temporarily. About 4-5 months later, I decided I was ready to begin my search again. Doug remembered me, which was very nice, and readily prepared places of interest based on our previous search but also detailing and new requests I may have. He was easy to work with and quickly responded to all my questions and concerns. During our search, Doug would willingly tell me of any defects of the home or things to be concerned or worried about prior to purchase. He was forthcoming with information that was useful to a new homebuyer or someone with no experience. I didn't feel like I was being swindled or "sold" on anything. He in truth, was my friend and a confident that was helping me to purchase my new home. I greatly appreciated his assistance and candidness so I felt I was getting the home I wanted at a great value. I found my home within a month and purchased it within a week after making an offer. Granted the seller expedited the sale, but Doug was there to help move everything along smoothly including referrals for a loan officer, that I also loved. I enjoyed working with Doug so much that I recommended my friends to him and they recently purchased their home too. Thank you Doug for a great first time experience!

    "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.

    "I Would Highly Recommend Working With Him!"
    Working with Zach has been an absolute pleasure and I would highly recommend working with him. Zach will respond quickly and make sure to set things up so you will be a happy buyer, I know I am and he helped me choose my first house! The first time that we were meeting to go see houses happened to be in a heavy heavy downpour with accidents on all major roads.I heard on the news the next day it was the 5th worst traffic conditions have ever been in Seattle. Zach proposed we grab a bite so we went to Il Bistro in Pike St Market and grabbed some food while he explained the homebuying process and how I should start getting ready to make a purchase. At the end of eating he took care of the meal! One thing I really liked about working with Zach was the questions he asked about what I enjoyed and what I was looking for in a home. Zach continued to look into what would be helpful for me and I really appreciated that. In the end, we closed on a house 21K under asking price that had the giant backyard that my Siberian Husky has been lobbying me for. Zach was very helpful in the negotiations and very responsive. If you choose to work with Zach you are in excellent hands. Thanks Zach!

    Jennifer is an outstanding realator. My wife and I were interested in selling our house to a developer, since our lot was zoned for multi unit development. Jennifer reached out to several developers on our behalf and was able to get several bids for our property.Because of Jennifer my wife and I sold our house for what we wanted and were able to buy our dream home for cash. Jennifer made herself available to us even after normal busines hours. If you're looking to sell a home or property, or you're wanting to buy a home, Jennifer is who you should choose.

    "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.

    "Amazing Realtor!"
    Doug Holman’s the best. He helped me with the upleg of a 1031 exchange. I’m in the process of selling some real estate I own in California and re-invest in the Seattle area. I sold a small apartment in California without realizing how tight the Seattle market was and would have had a bad result if Doug wasn’t there to help me.Doug has such a command of the neighborhoods he works that he seems to be able to sense which properties will be best from the investment perspective. He also can look beyond the first impression and see hidden value. He has experience fixing up properties that might be undervalued in their initial state, and has an extensive list of contractors and handymen that he will recommend if the numbers work out. The market in Seattle was hard to break into in April 2013 but Doug kept working with me until I accomplished my objective, which was to find real estate that produced a very respectable rate of return. The properties are well enough located so they will probably appreciate nicely. I am managing the properties myself but had to return to California for an extended period. Doug has been kind enough to help me find handymen for a few small items that came up since my leaving. I’m an experienced investor and have worked with good realtors before. Doug is the best.

    "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

    "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.

    "Committed and Professional"
    We purchased our home from Doug in 2015 when were moving from Seattle. Doug always made us feel like we were his only client—he was always available for us and made time to address all our questions. Since we were moving from out of town, we were only available for showings at odd intervals,but Doug always adapted to our schedule and made sure we got the information we needed. He was particularly astute in terms of evaluating properties, pricing, and has extensive knowledge of the area. He gave us a lot of background information to inform our choices and knew the details of neighborhoods and individual homes. Doug went the extra mile several times, including being at the house when Comcast did the internet installation prior to our move in.

    Andrew impressed me right from the start. He came to our first meeting well prepared with lots of helpful information. He is friendly and fun to work with and clearly respected as a Realtor. Andrew was also very flexible and available and worked hard to accommodate my schedule.He took the time to understand what my husband and I were looking for and really felt like a partner in the process. Andrew also has an extensive knowledge around building and was able to answer all our questions about the potentials each house had if we wanted to change things. I have worked with several Realtors in the past and I can honestly say Andrew was by far the best. Thanks Andrew for helping us find our dream house!
