WHAT CLIENTS REMEMBER

STRATEGY MATTERS. HOW YOU FEEL DURING THE MOVE MATTERS TOO.

Across dozens of client stories, three themes keep showing up.

01

Clear communication

Being kept informed, getting questions answered and knowing what comes next.

02

Practical strategy

A plan that changes with the situation instead of following one script.

03

Calm guidance

Experienced help that makes a complicated move easier to carry.

“Three 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.”

HAS MANY CLIENTS BUT MADE US FEEL LIKE WE WERE THE ONLY ONES

Joe was extremely patient with us during the buying process. He showed us over 50 houses before we found the perfect one. He has many clients but made us feel like we were the only ones. We will always use Joe when buying or selling.

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!!

THEY HAD OUR BACK IN EVERY STEP OF THE PROCESS

We worked with Joe but interacted with the whole team through the process of buying our new home. For myself it was my first time, my wife was already a homeowner.  I never doubted that they had our back in every step of the process. They were great troubleshooters and very responsive when questions came up.

Overall they went above and beyond, I would highly recommend the whole team.

KNOWLEDGEABLE OF THE AREA

Joe was excellent to work with in helping my husband and myself purchase a new home in Bothell recently. He was knowledgeable of the area, negotiated a final purchase price below the listed price and followed up at every step of the process. We will highly recommend Joe to all of our family and friends and use him in the future. Thanks Joe!

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!!
