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.”

They set us up for success from the first day we met

Jason, Joe and the whole Madrona group team are amazing. They are the type of team that really does go above and beyond. They set us up for success from the first day we met and their strategy for home buying really made the difference in us finding our dream home. They really are dedicated to getting you the home you want. They don’t sleep, we got our offer in and signed at 10:45pm, That’s how dedicated to you they are. We can’t wait to refer them and the group to all our friends and family! Thanks again we are proud new home owners!!!

Made us feel like their only clients and really went above and beyond

Joe and Jason are fantastic! My husband and I are first time home buyers, and really didn’t know where to start. This team educated us along the way and made us feel incredibly confident in our decisions. We moved to Washington a year and a half ago and have lived in West Seattle. We needed to move further north for a new job and this team drove all over to help us understand different areas. Everett, to Snohomish, to Marysville, to Edmonds and we eventually landed in Lynnwood. Joe and Jason made us feel like their only clients and really went above and beyond. Highly recommend to anyone looking to purchase in western Washington… you will not regret it!

Helped me keep to a budget so that I can afford my new home.

Joe and Jason came to see me and “sell their services.” They listened to me and were encouraging. They even brought a box of chocolates–a great idea! They were very helpful in getting the condo ready for market–what to do and what not to do. The selling process had unexpected bumps, but Joe and Jason walked me through them, and I ended up very satisfied. They have good advice and held my hand in the process. They “took on my case” and were particularly supportive. They negotiated on the price successfully. One of the hardest parts of the purchase and sales transactions was that I wanted to be able to just move once–put my stuff on the truck and take it to the new place. That took moving heaven, earth, and the truck. And it happened! That would not have happened with just any realtor. They also helped me keep to a budget so that I can afford my new home. They didn’t try to show me houses outside my range, or try to say “what’s another $25,000?” I’m very grateful to Joe and Jason.

Extremely professional and made the process less scary for us first-time home buyers

Jason and Joe were a great team to work with as we looked for our first home. Both were extremely professional and made the process less scary for us first-time home buyers. Joe took the time to walk us through the process on day one rather than rushing us to see properties and we are so thankful for that! Thank you Joe and Jason for helping us find our home!

Professional and understanding of the emotionally charged environment

This is a great real estate team! I appreciated that they had not only spent the time researching the most recent data for our area, but also in answering all my family’s questions. We were dealing with an estate sale and saying goodbye to our childhood home. Both Jason and Joe were professional and understanding of the emotionally charged environment. Heap on top of that we had just entered the beginning of the pandemic with the new restrictive guidelines and you’ll see why I give them so much praise. They made sure to correctly market our home, add enhanced health safety precautions to allow people to see the home and still maintain the space for our family. Thank you for taking such good of our family and making the house sale as easy as possible. We’re happy it went to a family who will now create memories of their own. All the best to your continued success!!!

Very first meeting to our closing (and beyond) they are focused, dedicated and detail-oriented

Joe, Jason & the whole team at Madrona Group are simply unmatched in the greater Seattle area. From our very first meeting to our closing (and beyond) they are focused, dedicated and detail-oriented. Communication is top-notch – they respond quickly to emails, texts and/or phone calls. They did so much to allay my stresses, and I could trust that they always had my back throughout the whole process of selling my home. I will for sure use the Madrona Group team again when I sell or buy!

They were attentive, knowledgeable, first class professionals all the way through

Jason Fox and Joe Kiser were a pleasure to work with. They kept me up to date and informed every step of the way on my mortgage process. My questions were answered immediately with phone calls, text and emails. Buying a home for the first time seemed overwhelming, but they put that “A+ ” in customer service… Hands down! The entire process was flawless. They were attentive, knowledgeable, first class professionals all the way through. I really enjoyed very much working with them. Very trustworthy, I will buy every home with them. I am incredibly satisfied! It was a great experience! Highly recommend!!!
