"We would love to work with Andrew again on our next purchase."
Andrew helped us purchasing our first condo home, and before we finally decided on purchasing Andrew has been showing us around and sending us updates for more than a year, Andrew has been extremely patient and always nice and responsive to our requests. One example is in the middle of purchasing and close to closing stage,we decided to switch to a different loan provider just because a much better rate, Andrew helped us thoroughly think through the pros/cons, and actively communicated with seller and reached mutual agreement so that we could get some extension and switch to the ideal loan agent. The entire purchasing experience was incredible and we couldn't be happier with our new home, and we can't do that without Andrew's great work, I would highly recommend Andrew as buying agent and would love to work with Andrew again on our next purchase.read moreuser6741656Seattle, WA."Thank You Zach!"
First time home buyer. It's an overwhelming process. Zach made it manageable by providing expert guidance at each step: From a personal interview, providing detailed technical information at each location, crafting a suitable winning strategy, to seemlessly bridging both sides until keys are transferred.Now I live in a house that feels like home. Thank you Zachread morerobbaakeKirkland, WA"Andrew's calm and professional manner (and good humor!)"
We met Andrew after contacting him regarding a condo that he had listed in Northeast Seattle. Andrew took the time to give us an understanding of the condo market in the area, showing us representative recent sales and talking through various elements of value. His evaluations on pricing of units that we considered were spot-on.He had an excellent grasp of our goals and made sure they were reflected in our purchase negotiations. Andrew was responsive to process questions and made sure that he was available in the days before closing to address last-minute issues that arose, even returning a bit early from a scheduled volunteer trip to Mexico. We have no doubt that Andrew's calm and professional manner (and good humor!) helped put us in a strong position in our successful condo purchase. A pleasure to work with.read morereesadrSeattle, WA."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.read moreMousam KrismucsLake Forest Park, WA"We Would Highly Recommend Zach!"
We used Zach to help us buy our first home back in 2017. When we accepted a job opportunity out of state we immediately contacted Zach about helping us sell. From the start it was a great experience with Zach and his team helping us each step of the way.The photoshoot and promotion he had done for our place was beautiful and once we received offers he helped us negotiate for the best price we could get. He even helped set us up with a great realtor in our new city. We would highly recommend Zach to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in the Seattle area and will be using him again if we move back.read moreRiley FrambesEdmonds, WA"Do Yourself a Favor and Contact Zach!"
If you are a first-time home buyer in Seattle, do yourself a favor and contact Zach. He will support you through the process with clear and accurate information and does so in a way that is strategic, without pressure, empathetic, and honest. He conducts weekly check-in’s, is highly responsive,practices COVID19 etiquette, has a large network of credible contacts you can leverage given his experience, has an assistant who like him is organized and accommodating, and has an extremely informative and well-done YouTube channel with highly relevant content that is updated frequently. During house tours, we were impressed with his acumen on all things related to a home. We never felt pressure to put an offer on a house as he always let us lead. When we decided to submit an offer, he gathered intel for us quickly, provided his strategic input, was thorough, and made us feel comfortable with each step. The Seattle market is tough and his guidance was invaluable. For the home we ended up purchasing, he made sure we even felt supported during our fast closing, checking in to make sure things were going smoothly with our lender. He threw a special celebration when we got our keys, which we appreciated, by delivering lunch and giving us thoughtful housewarming gifts including a surprise for our kids. These little touches were very thoughtful. Overall, we’ve been spoiled by the high level of customer service Zach provided and give him our highest recommendation. We will 100% be using him in the future.read morenmoningkSeattle, WA"I Would Highly Recommend Zach!"
Zach helped us sell our rental home. He put together a fair set of comparable properties, guided us through the pros and cons of price setting, and provided feedback on how to prepare the home. Zach's preparation of the listing is top notch! The images, videos, and other marketing materials were very professional.We had competing offers for which Zach put together an easy to follow matrix and provided valuable insight to help us make the best decision. His communication was consistent throughout the process which put our minds at ease that nothing was falling through the cracks. I would highly recommend Zach for any real estate transaction!read morepetersontjLynnwood, WA"I Would Recommend Zach to Anyone I Know!"
Working with Zach was great. We needed to both sell and buy a house and before we ever committed to doing this, Zach consulted with us on our options and the different challenges we would face given the market at the time in early January 2020 (current market inventory,how buyers will view contingency at different times of the year, how he manages the full experience). This conversation gave us confidence that the time of the year was most advantageous given we would be on contingency. When we did decide move forward, Zach was immediately communicative and helped us to get connected across the board (loan companies he has had success with, how to setup a contingent offer for a quick close, more information about the area we were hoping to find a house in). Zach makes sure that his customers have a good idea of what to expect throughout the buying process. Part of this was weekly follow ups on how we were feeling about the process, about anything we were looking at, or especially later in the process, when under contract, updates on where his team is at with working with the other buyers and sellers to get everything sorted out. We didn't feel like we were caught off guard throughout the process which was important given the number of things that needed to happen in a short period in market where houses can go in 3 days. Last thing I would note is Zach has integrity and we were comfortable trusting him to get us through the process. There a lot of people with "real estate licenses" (read with air quotes) and Zach is a professional who understands the level of effort needed to offer a good experience for a huge life decision. I would recommend Zach to anyone I know.read morenickray101WA 98155"We highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking to buy property in the Seattle area."
Andrew was referred to us by friends who had just worked with him to purchase their first home. They couldn't speak more highly of him -- and after working with him, neither can we. As first time homebuyers, Andrew alleviated our anxieties with his calming professionalism and thorough approach.He walked us through everything in detail and made sure we were aware of all requirements at each step of the process. Andrew was a true partner throughout. He listened closely to what we were looking for while also adding his own market and construction expertise to the conversation. Because of this we had honest conversations about each property to help better inform our decision. At the end of the day, we always knew he was on our team. We highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking to buy property in the Seattle area.read moreEricVan AelstynSeattle, WA."Jenny is simply the best."

Doug was great at listening to my feedback about places that I did and did not like to hone his recommendations for me. He was also extremely patient and offered thoughtful advice when I couldn't make up my mind.

I really enjoyed working with Doug and would definitely recommend him.read moreyouthieSeattle, WA."Can not recommend him enough"
We stumbled onto Andrew when my partner and I first took a look a home in Seattle. We were (still kind of are) absolute novices in house hunting and were mostly looking to see what was out and available. From the first tour with Andrew we were both very impressed with his knowledge of Seattle housing,keen eye for possible issues with homes, and fair opinions on what each house was worth and what they could be down the road. Within only a couple months we found the home we now live in and would not be here if it weren’t for Andrew’s professionalism, care and knowledge.

Andrew was a wonderful Real Estate Agent to work with. He was very professional and responsive throughout the whole process and I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for a home in Seattle. As a first-time homebuyer he made the process feel easy, we never felt pushed or swayed in any direction.He was great at pointing out things about a home that many first-time homebuyers may miss, such as large expenses or the potential of the neighborhood. Thanks Andrew!read morezuser20140901124907623Seattle, WA."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!read morem a mcboyleWA 98036."Doug is a fabulous real estate agent."
Doug is a fabulous real estate agent. We were initially very casually looking for a new home and had a time-frame of months to a year, as we wanted to find the right house at the right price. Doug took us to see dozens of homes but never pressured us to decide on location or time-frame.When we did find the house we wanted, he was a steady voice who guided us through the entire process, providing reasonable and sound advice on making an offer, guiding us through inspections, bringing a contractor to take a quick look at the house to determine how difficult any renovations or later additions might be, and providing calming reassurance during ridiculous interactions with lenders. We even ended up choosing a different lender at nearly the last minute and he didn't flinch. He also does his homework--he called the neighbors in the area we decided to buy to determine noise levels, looked up schools and gave us printed reports on the neighborhood, and generally went the extra mile. He was always prepared when he showed us a property. Definitely call Doug if you are looking to buy a house!read moreuser8586605Kirkland, WA."Helpful and Friendly"
Doug is very helpful and friendly. His attention to detail is very good and we had a very good feeling always while working with him.

Having the help of a competent realtor can make a huge difference in the outcome; we worked with Doug Holman and we are glad we did!! In the midst of a pandemic, Doug came to our rescue when we found ourselves in a dilemma that all the equity we had put into a property over a lifetime might be completely ruined by property mismanagement.He took it to himself to sort out all the problems we could not handle by ourselves. He and his team formulated sound marketing strategies, worked tirelessly in negotiation on our behalf and sold our property within a surprisingly short period of time.

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.

I did not know Doug Holman before I enlisted his services as my Real Estate Agent. He was highly recommended to me by a friend. I was very impressed with Doug from the opening moments of our working together relationship to the very end. My purchase had some very abnormal circumstances related tothe transaction and Doug was able to flawlessly arise to the occasion at every turn and bump in the road. Regardless of how busy he was with other clients he always made me feel like my transaction was of the utmost importance to him. Although the level of drama was high at times, Doug always kept his cool and offered his assurance that no matter how invested in the process he was, if I ever wanted to turn away from the transaction, he would support me. It was important for me to feel that Doug was my business partner throughout the entire transaction. When you work with Doug you'll see that a person of his talent could've chosen to work in any other field and it'll become apparent that Real Estate is his career of choice and that he's clearly a head and shoulders above his peers. I hope you have the opportunity to work with Doug Holman and that you enjoy working with him as much as I did. Sincerely, Hans Nordlundread moreHans NWA 98144."We Absolutely Loved Working With Him!"
My wife and I are first-time homebuyers. We both knew Zach from college, and were so excited to work with a trusted friend throughout our first-ever home-buying experience! Zach went above and beyond each step of the way. He never hesitated to say "yes" when my wife and I stumbled upon one, two,or three houses that looked like winners, and quickly asked to go view them ("Drop everything - we have to see this one!"). On countless occasions, he offered up his time to meet us somewhere to chat during weekdays or weekends, call us to check-in or explain more of the complicated steps in the home-buying process, and email back after we'd ask close to 15,000 long and detailed questions (well, maybe not quite that many...). He provided an outstanding level of education to help us learn along the way - using his own videos to teach us things while we were at home or on the go - so that everything in the process was transparent and understandable. Zach never hid information from us, and approached each conversation with a genuine desire to see us make a wise decision - one that would be best for US. We were particularly impressed by Zach's expertise on the Greater Seattle area housing market (he's done a TON of research and knows his stuff!!!), and his understanding of what makes a winning home offer (he helped us bring our A-game to the table and succeed with our first and only offer!!!). Every one of his recommendations was solid, too, whether it was for a particular loan officer or home inspector, or for some things to be mindful of when viewing a house and how it's laid-out, constructed, or maintained. Bottom line: Zach is the man. We absolutely LOVED working with him. We felt so valued as his clients during the home-buying process, from start to finish. He inspired confidence each step of the way, and we couldn't have asked for a better or more ideal person to be on our team for this experience. We would relish the opportunity to recommend Zach to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area, so they could have the same wonderful experience we did. Thanks again, Zach! :)read moreemoody0218Bothell, WA"She was helpful, informative, and committed to helping us find a home that we loved."

With monthly updates and detailed step-by-step videos for each step in house buying, it makes so much easier for new home buyers like us to understand the process thoroughly. He was very clear on first step as getting pre-approval which proved to be really important in our case (TRUST the process!!). If you are someone like us who want very transparent communication, Zach and his team(Rachel and Lindsay) is the right choice for you. Our visits were properly scheduled, all safety precautions were taken amidst covid pandemic and never had any issues around it. He provided his honest opinion on each house we visited, laid out the pros and cons which really helped us to make a call. We had previously experienced how the agents created a pressurized situation to make a quick/hasty decision but house buying is probably the most expensive investment you are going to make. There was literally NO…NADA..NIL.. pressure from Zach to make a decision on any house we saw with him. Regular check-ins on Tuesday and Thursday make the whole process seamless as he breaks down each step for you and share latest updates for your case. THE FUN PART: Hands down, Zach and team are really passionate for their work. Closing on a house with Zach is an experience, why? That’s because the gestures this team makes to make it special for you. For us, sending card when you start the house buying process, another one when you put the down escrow money and last on closure. The best part, they come with cookies :) Finally on the closing days, Zach got food with Champagne, along with few gifts and an awesome welcome home video to save our memories for lifetime. Zach will be our go-to agent in future as well, we wish him great success in his business! Thank you Zach and Team, looking forward to do more business with you.read moreSagar SolankiSeattle, WA"Andrew was amazing!"

Andrew was a fantastic resource and guide for the very stressful, fast-paced, and confusing process of buying a home in Seattle in this market. He knows the area and market well and has a high end construction background so he can make educated guesses about possible updates (and their costs),which we found very helpful. Most importantly his approach is diligent and objective, answering all our questions exactly as we asked them, making no effort to sway or rush our decision-making. And we took a while to find the right home! He was incredibly skilled and respectful in his communication with seller’s agents and we felt we often got extra consideration from agents because they enjoyed working with Andrew.

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.read morebrittbennettWA 98103."At no point did I feel like Andrew was lacking in any way. Totally recommend!"

Andrew did a fantastic job representing both myself and my siblings during an estate sale for my brother's home. As my brother had been ill for some time, the house was in disrepair. His recommendations regarding "fixes" were spot on - not too hot and not too cold - just right to present the property in it's most favorable light while limiting expenses.I was also relieved that he managed all the work regarding these fixes as I do not reside in WA state and therefore I am unfamiliar with local contractors. Finally he handled all unique aspects of the sale given it was a probate sale while being sensitive to the "ticking clock" associated with time spent communicating with my estate lawyer, again thus minimizing expenses. Great job Andrew - thanks again!read moreddawson99Seattle, WA."We Would Absolutely Recommend Zach With Great Confidence!"
We recently worked with Zach on the purchase of our first home in Lynnwood, he was recommended to us by our mortgage team. From the first meeting to the closing process Zach gave us very personal service and was there to answer each and every question that we had.The home buying process can be daunting for first timers but we always felt that we were in very capable hands working with Zach. Zach's philosophy is that home buyers should be educated on the home buying process so they can make the best decisions for themselves and he has tons of videos and resources on the subject. These resources were so valuable for myself and my husband and when it came time to make offers and negotiate we felt like we knew what we were doing and were able to find a home we loved and make a strong offer that was accepted very quickly. We had to do some negotiating once the inspection was completed due to some work that needed to be done on the house and Zach worked with us to make sure that we got the outcome we were looking for. Once the negotiations were completed, we were able to close on the house within 21 days and Zach was there with us very step of the way to make sure the process went smoothly. He has continued to check in with us even after closing to see how we're doing and if there is anything he can help with, this level of service goes above and beyond. We would absolutely recommend Zach with great confidence to anyone we knew who was looking to buy a house and will definitely be using him again if the need ever arises!read moreashbo8866Lynnwood, WA" She got us a great price by pricing it right and negotiating on our side!!"

In the end we went through several offers, three of which were accepted (one buyer pulled out at inspection stage,one buyer was not able to secure financing in spite of being pre-approved and final buyer for sale that went through). Throughout I was very happy with Zach as he guided me through the process, explaining all the intricacies and alternatives. When negotiation was needed, he would often suggest reasonable moves and counteroffers and provide context without being too pushy or hurried.

He explained the reason very well. We found 5 more houses on Zillow, but Andrew was on vacation. He had a co-worker show these houses to my son. We picked our favorite house out of these 5 and asked several questions about the house. Despite being on vacation, Andrew drove back to Shoreline and took video and answered our questions. He was so nice and willing to help us. We decided to make an offer for the house. He never pushed us to make a quick sale. We really felt comfortable to ask any questions. He was very communicative and effective using texting and emailing. We made an offer and waited for the seller’s response. We signed everything online. Our offer was accepted, and he found building inspector right away. Andrew is well connected with local specialists. He found an incredibly good inspector and his report was excellent. We could not see the house in person, so we needed to rely on the inspector. Andrew helped us made a counteroffer based on the inspection report and it was successful.

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.

Andrew was a fantastic agent for us. Beyond being a genuinely nice guy, Andrew helped us get our house on the market very quickly. He even had numerous connections to help get the house ready including painter, yard work, etc. I would definitely recommend Andrew to anyone.user55517634Seattle, WA.
