DON’T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
PUT FORTH EFFORT AND CONSIDERATION
Joe was amazing, he really put forth effort and consideration when helping us find our new home. He never pressured us and always had our best interest at heart.
PASSION AND NEGOTIATING SKILLS
I have got to see a few agents in my day and rarely have I seen one with Joe’s passion and negotiating skills.Don’t think twice about working with such a great agent!
WE PUT OUR TRUST IN JOE AND JASON AND IT PAID OFF BIG TIME
The Madrona Group, Joe Kiser and Jason Fox, of John L. Scott Real Estate were amazing to work with! We decided to sell our Lynnwood home in order to build our retirement dream home near Leavenworth. It was a huge decision for us. Joe and Jason put us at ease.
They worked hard at marketing our house with a beautiful write up, professional photos, video walk through, complete social media marketing, and an open house.
3 days after it went on the market we had an offer that was $25,000 over asking price. They advised us not to accept it and explained why in a manner that was easy to understand. The next day a bidding war ensued and we ended up getting $90,000 over asking!
We put our trust in Joe and Jason and it paid off big time!!! This is going to help so much in setting us up for retirement and our golden years. We can’t thank them enough for all their hard work and expertise.
I will refer you to anyone I know who is looking to purchase/sell a home!
Our home purchase was tricky as someone else had already made an offer. Joe knows the business and encouraged us to make an offer as well. He knew exactly what to do and our offer was accepted. So exciting! Thanks Jason and Joe for your hard work to help our family get the home we needed. I am serious when I say I will refer you to anyone I know who is looking to purchase/sell a home!
Put an offer on it and it was meant to be. Stress free.
First home we looked at is the one we wanted, unfortunately it went pending before we could put an offer on it. We kept looking, no problems. House was no longer pending that we originally wanted and we were able to put an offer on it and it was meant to be. Stress free.
FIRST HOUSE, FIRST BID, AND OFFER ACCEPTED!
We won! Outbid by 15k and less than perfect qualifications, Joe and Jason really pulled out all the stops and got us the into the home we wanted. First house, first bid, and offer accepted! . Simply amazing work by the Madrona group!
Thanks guys!
The Selby family
AN ABSOLUTE SPECTACULAR TEAM
An absolute spectacular team, Joe and Jason did a wonderful job taking care of our needs. They went above and beyond to ensure our sale was competitive and fast. Anytime a question arose they were available to answer. Joe and Jason also took great care at helping us find or next home after the sale. They excelled at helping us focus on what we were looking for and what to expect in a sellers market. We were able to get the perfect home using our VA loan. if you have the chance to work with this awesome team you will not be dissapointed. Thank you Joe and Jason for making our dream a reality.
ENTHUSIASM AND PROFESSIONALISM
My family decided to get a 2nd opinion/market evaluation on my mothers condominium in Edmonds. We are using a family realtor but decided to hire Joe to double check the value since the market is improving steadily. What Joe showed us, and recommended in comparison to other local condos helped us decide to increase the asking price by $35,000. He was quick to respond to our requests and very clear when communicating with my family. His enthusiasm and professionalism was much appreciated.Thank you Joe!!
I WAS THRILLED TO HAVE SUCH A STRONG ADVOCATE
I was thrilled working with Joe, he was a problem solver to say the very least. Joe and his team would always be prepared to face anything that came up in the process and, as a first time homebuyer, I was thrilled to have such a strong advocate and great negotiator with us through this whole process. If you’re looking for a realtor, this is your guy!
I NEVER THOUGHT BUYING A HOUSE WOULD BE SO EASY!
I never thought buying a house would be so easy! Jason and Joe make a great team and they made this transition seem so seemless. As a mother, I was worried about how my kids would be during the house hunting process, however Joe and Jason made it so easy and were so patient and kind with our children that they absolutely loved them. Thank you so much Jason and Joe! We would definitely work with them again!!
THE TEAM WAS INCREDIBLY HELPFUL AND INFORMATIVE
We worked with Madrona group to help us find a new home for our family. It was my first time purchasing a home (my wife was already a homeowner) and the team was incredibly helpful and informative. I really felt that we had an advocate through the whole process and every time I had a question, concern, or even something I didn’t understand they would get me whatever I needed. Overall they went above and beyond and I would happily recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home.
PROFESSIONAL AND FUN TO WORK WITH.
Both professional and fun to work with. He was patient and motivating during the shopping process and thorough with explaining the paperwork. My new home far exceeded my expectations while staying within my budget. Thank you Joe. Im so proud of my new little home!
HE’S A REAL ESTATE MAGICIAN AND A CLASS ACT
Joe Kiser helped us find an amazing home in our neighborhood in Seattle in our price range. He’s a real estate magician and a class act.
They listened. They were transparent. They were proactive
One year ago we started the process toward home ownership and we did that with the help of Joe and Jason. This was our first and these two were so great in helping us understand the process and navigate the market. They listened. They were transparent. They were proactive, as that was the state of the market when we purchased. They were available to us every step of the way. I am grateful to them for their part in helping us establish our home. I may be delayed in writing this review for them – but the impact of working with them did not stop when the handed us the keys. I was thankful when we closed, I am thankful to them now, and I will probably continue to say thanks when I get to thinking about the memories we are creating in this home of ours. Can’t recommend them enough!
OUTSTANDING HELP AND PROFESSIONALISM
I want to Thank Jason & Joe for their outstanding help and professionalism on my condo purchase. After being told I couldn’t get a conventional loan, they came through with getting me exactly what I wanted. Thanks again guys and keep up the good work!

Joe and Jason are the best agents you could hire. They will be with you every single step of the way, going way above and beyond what anyone else would. We were both buying and selling. They managed everything smoothly and kept our stress as low as possible. Also, they communicate very well, responding to text, emails, and phone calls as fast as possible. This was important to us and was a huge bonus. Hire them!

Joe and Jason are true professionals. If you want to sell or buy a home, I suggest you contact them. I am a very experienced buyer and have never had a deal go through as smoothly as my condo purchase. They found me the condo I wanted, in the area I wanted, and negotiated a price I could afford.
COULDN’T BE HAPPIER WITH THE WHOLE TRANSACTION
I was a first time home buyer and Joe went above and beyond to help me feel informed, included, well taken care of, and comfortable.

Selected Joe and Jason after interviewing 5 agents in total
We selected Joe and Jason after interviewing 5 agents in total. They were the most prepared for the interview and handled our sale masterfully.

Moved fast, worked late and helped us to secure our dream home

They went above and beyond to help us find a house we loved and did not stop until we got that house. Our offer was outbid but through Joe and Jason’s efforts the seller accepted our offer instead and we are now the proud owners of our first home! These guys are excellent at what they do!

THE PUGET SOUND REGION
The Puget Sound is a large Pacific Ocean inlet that is located on the North West corner of Washington state. The Puget Sound region is the coastal area of land located roughly west of the Cascade Range and east of the Olympic Mountains.
The region includes about 90 different cities in 12 different counties. There are over 4 million people that live in this area.
What makes this area so special is the easy access to oceans, rivers, lakes, mountains, forests, cities and desert.
Whether you like to fish, mountain climb, snow ski, water ski, hike, bike, kayak, hunt, sail, wind surf… it is all within a short drives distance.
Perhaps you enjoy fine dining, theater, museums, dancing, walks on the beach, concerts, sporting events… With 4 major cities, Seattle WA, Vancouver BC, Portland OR, and Bellevue WA, within driving distance.
Want to change the weather, visit a Bavarian themed town, or go wine tasting… A short drive over the pass to Eastern Washington.
There is a fairly significant difference between Eastern Washington and Western Washington in climate. The Cascade Mountains trap the rain and clouds from the Pacific Ocean on the West side while it provides a rainshadow for the East side. Eastern WA has hotter summers, less rain fall and colder winters than the west. They also receive a significant amount of snow in the winter while the West side is very minimal and usually only lasts a couple days.

ADVICE FROM A TREE
There is a tree that is native to the Puget Sound called the Madrona tree. It is a hearty tree that grows near the shoreline and whose deep roots prove useful against soil erosion on the steep shore banks.
We think that it represents who we are as a real estate team.
“Stand tall and proud.
Sink your roots into the Earth.
Be content with your natural beauty.
Go out on a limb.
Drink plenty of water.
Remember your roots.
Enjoy the view!”
