"We cannot recommend Andrew more highly!"
We were new to Seattle and first time home buyers and could not possibly have understood what was going on in the market here. Andrew was patient with us as he taught us everything we could have possibly needed to know. His history as a high-end contractor was invaluable in "looking under the hood" at each house we would visit.Andrew made himself available at all times of the day or night to make sure we could act quickly on homes of interest. And even in the middle of the night, Andrew was extremely professional. We cannot recommend Andrew more highly!read morezuser20160225122130025WA 98125."I strongly recommend connecting with him!!!"
He helped me buy a town home in Crown Hill. He was very helpful and had a great amount of local knowledge. I'm also very impressed by his responsiveness. I strongly recommend connecting with him if anyone needs to buy a house.hanxWA 98117."Working With Zach Was a Great Experience!"
Working with Zach was a great experience! As first time home buyers Zach helped my wife and I through out the entire process and was always quick to answer our questions or concerns. He paid attention to what we like and has a great at sense for finding places that we were actually interested in,rather than just showing for showing's sake. Once we found a place we were interested in he helped us make a strong offer and put us in a position to be at the top of the sellers list of possibilities. We're really excited to settle down in our new place now and really couldn't have done it without Zach's help!read moreRiley FrambesEdmonds, WA"Zach Was Very Helpful at All Times!"
Zach was very helpful at all times with his recommendations and advice in the process of placing our home on the market. He went through our home with us and gave us much insight into preparing our home to show well. Zach did a fantastic job in marketing our home with use of 3D video tour of our home as well as videography using a drone to highlight the outside of the property,and the several open houses which he personally handled. Zach is a consummate professional in the way he handles all the details. I would highly recommend and refer to Zach McDonald. Thank you, Zach.read morebhryanShoreline, WA"Fantastic Service! "
We couldn't have asked for a better listing agent to sell our home than Doug. He gave us fantastic advice on getting our house ready to sell, not only on what to change, bust also what not to waste our time and money worrying about. The photos he got of our house were so fantastic,he just got every detail right for listing the house. And his knowledge of the Shoreline / Lake Forest Park area and all homes that have listed their over the last couple of years is amazing. Our house had multiple offers within three days of listing, and the price that Doug advised us to set was definitely higher than we had been thinking, and turned out to be the right price. We couldn't recommend Doug any more.read moreSteve Seliga and Julie HerbstShoreline, WA."Extremely Knowledgeable"
If you are looking for a house in the North Seattle area, I highly recommend contacting Doug Holman. He stuck with us through the process even after we walked away from a house at the last minute. We started back at square one and he didn't give up until we were moved in and settled.Doug was extremely knowledgeable on the area and was not afraid to get down and dirty to make sure that the house we were looking at was truly something we might be interested in. Even after the sale was finalized, when we came upon an small unforeseen complication, Doug was readily available with names of reliable people to contact so it could be remedied as soon as possible. He continues to send important/interesting information about our neighborhood. All in all, Doug will stick around through the thick and thin until his client is satisfied. I am confident that he will not disappoint.read moreZack and AliceShoreline, WA."Very Friendly and Sincere!"
We told him what is our need and he showed us few houses but most houses were getting bid, so it is hard to buy. One day he showed us unlisted house and we really like that house. Not much hassle, we exchanged email few times and we got the house in very short period time. Everything was very smooth. He wasn’t push at all.Very friendly and sincere!read moreuser9052427WA 98103"Doug Holman is a PRO!"

You won't be disappointed!"
I cannot speak more highly of Andrew! When my wife and I were looking at realtors, Andrew stood out to us immediately given his breadth of local knowledge and his past experience in construction and building. On top of that, he had recently sold many houses in our price point, so we decided to set up a meeting with him.I am so glad we did! Andrew was a true professional from start to finish, and was flexible and available to us when our house search really started to pick up steam. I always felt like Andrew was very straight up and gave us his honest opinion of the houses we saw, pointing out the positives and negatives of home locations, construction, layout, etc. At the same time, he never tried to force his point of view -- he always listened and carefully took note of our feedback. In the end, Andrew was the one who found our perfect home, even though my wife and I collectively had made searching for a home nearly a second job. In fact, we had written off the house when we saw the listing, but Andrew tacked it on to the end of a tour just for good measure and we're so glad he did! In short, if you want a great agent, go with Andrew. You won't be disappointed!read morecooperia ianSeattle, WA."Steve was an excellent agent."
Steve was an excellent agent. My fiancée and I were first time home buyers, so Steve's knowledge was extremely valuable. He was committed to finding us the perfect home and worked tirelessly to find us what we wanted. In the end we found a great place, and we wouldn't have been able to do it without Steve's help.I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home.read morejared d sanchezSeattle, WA."She's a powerhouse of knowledge and also just lovely and intuitive."
You're lucky if you end up with Vicki as your agent. She's a powerhouse of knowledge and also just lovely and intuitive. I just wish I had heeded all her advice about other properties when she helped me buy a condo on Capital Hill.Stewart ThorndikeNew York, NY."He was incredibly skilled and respectful in his communication with seller’s agents!"
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. He’s a gem and we highly recommend him!read moreilanakegelSeattle, WA."We are extremely happy that we've worked with Andrew and will use him again next time."
We were so happy that we found Andrew. He was very professional and knowledgeable on the area. He explained the process really well and guided us on each phase of home buying. He responds fast whenever and where ever he is. He also helped us realize what we really wanted. Overall,we are extremely happy that we've worked with Andrew and will use him again next time.read moremarkrivera30Seattle, WA."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!"read moreClientBothell, WA."We Had a Great Experience With Her!"
Sarah is so friendly and responsible person. She is so easy to communicate. She is so organized all the information about houses. We had a great experience with her.ekckimzzEdmonds, WA"Zach Provided a Fantastic Service!"
Zach provided a fantastic service and I would not hesitate to use him again or refer him to family and friends looking for a house. The Seattle market is red hot at the moment so to get a house you need to find someone who will respect your direction and needs but also nudge you where you need to be nudged and figure out angles to land a property.And then when a hurdle arises you, as one did in my deal, you need someone to jump in and serve your interests to get a resolution. Zach is a great partner for you to have. Call him today !read morevashonmanSeattle, WA"I definitely recommend working with him."
Andrew was incredibly responsive, patient, diligent and kind. I learned a ton from working with him and am really happy with my new home. I definitely recommend working with him.zuser20190305133110240Seattle, WA."We recommend him very highly!"
We are a recently retired couple moving back to Seattle after many years away. We found Andrew on the internet and met with him before we actually moved and found him to be personable, extremely informative and very helpful. So when we completed our move we began working with him. Andrew spent alot of time introducing us to areas that would likely be in our price range and explaining the situation to us as buyers in a very competitive market. He paid close attention to our reaction to houses and quickly had a good grasp of all the features we most wanted (or didn't want) in a home. This became invaluable as the weeks went by, as he could preview a home for us and let us know if he thought it fit our needs well enough for us to visit it ourselves. We ultimately bid on three different houses, and Andrew was excellent at making sure all the needed steps could be carried out within the very short time window to bid (around a week). He arranged for the inspections we required; walked us through the formalities of submitting a bid as well as the process owners went through to arrive at which bid was ultimately chosen; and made sure our bids were submitted in a timely way. He also kept us apprised of where we were in the process. Andrew's knowledge of home construction and maintenance was invaluable as we assessed to what degree repairs or upgrades might be needed on any particular property. He was able to guesstimate the cost of likely repairs, as well as to refer us to numerous contractors and other specialists once our bid was selected. Even after escrow closed, Andrew has been providing suggestions for contractors to get some of the needed work done on our new home. Andrew has been great to work with because he is straightforward about what he sees as a property's good qualities and flaws, as well as about what he thinks a home will likely sell for (all are substantially above the asking price in this crazy market). He has a great sense of humor and we felt comfortable with him right away. His manner is casual but he is completely professional in his work. He was always accessible and very responsive (esp. via text), and if he didn't have the answer to a question he immediately got the answer from the right source. All in all, our experience working with Andrew was very positive. We felt we were getting good guidance all along, that he listened to us and was able to steer us toward properties we would be most likely to seriously consider, and that he wanted us to find a house that we truly felt good about. We recommend him very highly!read morebarbalooneySeattle, WA."Doug is the best agent out there!"
My Husband and I have worked with many, many agents over the years and Doug was the best one. We liked him because he is very personable without being too chatty. He was able to sift through a ton of information quickly and help us arrive at the best investment for our situation.He doesn't automatically trust everything he reads in the Multiple Listing and is willing to dig a little deeper to figure out the truth about a property. When we were negotiating and going through closing his knowledge about the Seattle area and what we should expect and ask for was invaluable to us. After closing he has continued to stay in close contact to help us as landlords.read morejenkguWA 98122."It was great to work with Doug!"
Doug was great to work with! He has a positive and friendly attitude, and he did great in communicating with the listing agents. He also did lots of research on property history, etc. I'd definitely use Doug again if in the market, and wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to others.user95767987Seattle, WA."Zach Was Extremely Helpful!"
Zach was extremely helpful in our home search. We happened to meet Zach by chance, but in the end it worked out quite well for us. He possesses a lot of knowledge about the area which we were targeting for our home purchase (North Seattle), and after a few showings he got a very good idea of the kind of home we were looking for.That helped us a lot in narrowing down our choices. When we finally decided on our home, Zach moved pretty quickly with making a bid on the home, and completing the negotiation with the seller. Price wise, he was able to obtain a good deal for the home. He is extremely responsive, and answered all of our questions in the quickest possible manner. Even after we moved into our new home, he regularly checked in with us to make sure everything was going smoothly. He was very helpful during the whole transition process. We greatly appreciate his guidance in us going from being renters to homeowners. In terms of the purchase process, there were a couple of things which we felt could have gone better: 1. We had a tight closing date, which made it almost impossible for us to shop for the best loan options. We had no idea that there had been a slight change in the loan process in October, which made securing a loan slightly longer. We would have liked Zach to be cognizant of these changes, which would have helped us secure a better closing date. 2. The seller had agreed in the contract that he would pay the sewer capacity charges in full, and we were under the impression that we will get it in the form of a credit towards closing cost. However, later we came to know that the seller can only pay it directly to the county, and not to us. We would have expected Zach to know about this, especially since we were factoring in this money for closing costs.read morezuser20150524153332094Seattle, WA"He is very knowledgeable about construction, markets, and the buying process!"
Andrew recently helped us find and purchase our first home. He was very professional and helpful throughout the entire process. He patiently walked us through all the paperwork and the norms of the buying process so we felt prepared and comfortable and then after we got the house he even followed up with us three times after closing just to make sure we were settling in ok.He is very knowledgeable about construction, markets, and the buying process. I highly recommend Andrew and I'd use him again in a heartbeat!read moreJulianna drinanSeattle, WA."Andrew is honest, hardworking, and confident!"
We were looking for a rental house for our son in Shoreline. Since we are living in Hawaii and Covid-19, we needed a good buyer representative. We found Andrew Schein on Zillow and we had a Zoom meeting at the very beginning. We immediately felt we could trust Andrew,and we relied on his knowledge about houses and the Seattle market. Andrew is honest, hardworking, and confident. We found one house and want to know more about it. He drove to the house and took a video and told us the house is not good for us. 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. The closing was very quick and easy. Andrew was on top of everything. After closing, we needed floor repair and an electrician right away. Andrew recommended several contractors which was extremely helpful. They all knew Andrew and we could tell Andrew was respected among these professionals. We are using Andrew’s recommendation. We plan to fix the house the best we can. We know Andrew will be around for us when we need his support. We highly recommend Andrew to anyone who wants to work on a housing project. There is no way to find the perfect house, but you can come a long way with the help of a person as capable as Andrew.read moreetsukokimuraShoreline, WA."He was extremely helpful when we were viewing houses!"
Andrew was very friendly and professional. He explained every step of the process and guided us throughout every stage of buying our first house.

As a first time condo-buyer in a new city I was pretty nervous about the entire process, but Andrew was absolutely wonderful to work with. Starting from the first time we met to tour a unit and chat, he provided me with extensive information (including an entire guidebook on the home-buying process)and was available and responsive to any questions I had (even the likely very stupid ones). We ended up negotiating an off-market deal with the seller for my unit which saved everyone time and money in the end. Since the sale, Andrew has checked in multiple times and been more than willing to answer questions about the unit and complex.

Jenny was great - she knows her stuff, and has contacts for anything you can need as you're selling your home. Plus, her husband even came out to fix something that was beyond my expertise (which, to be clear, lots of things are beyond my handyman skills). It was truly a full-service experience!DannyCarraoSeattle, WA."Highly likely to recommend"
Doug took our house just after the housing crash and urged us to ride out the down swing by renting. He told us when the market was hot and how to get the house in order and prepare it for sale.

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"Jenny helped us sold our home while we're out of state."

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.

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.read moreuser722167WA 98107."He clearly understood what we wanted in our new home!"

I knew selling my late mother's house would be a challenge. It was a modest house in a great neighborhood with views of the Space Needle and downtown but had not been updated in the 47 years my mother had lived there. Choosing the right realtor who could show its potential and generate a lot of interest would be the key factor in having a successful sale.After interviewing several candidates I felt that Andrew was that person. His knowledge of the neighborhood, negotiating experience and background in construction was a definite plus. After meeting with me several times to discuss strategy, Andrew created a marketing plan and timeline that would maximize exposure and encourage multiple offers, which was my goal. Andrew then executed his plan and after an extended showing period several strong offers were received, with the winning offer considerably higher than the listing price. Needless to say I was very pleased with the overall experience and outcome. I would definitely recommend Andrew for anyone looking to sell their house, especially if it is a "diamond in the rough" as was my mother's.read moreuser9935417Seattle, WA."He was always prompt and responsive!"
I highly recommend Andrew without the slightest reservation. As a professional (and a service provider) myself, I know first-hand what it is like to work day in and day out to look out for clients' interest and meet and exceed their expectations. For the sale of my home,Andrew was my listing agent and he went out of his way to get issues resolved quickly to ensure a success close. In hindsight, the issues I had faced were those of a principal (me as seller) and no agent needed to get his/her hands dirty. But Andrew did otherwise and we worked as a team to resolve them. In terms of his character/disposition, I don't mean to pass judgment but I have to say Andrew was dedicated, persistent and committed through the entire sale process. He is first class and there are qualities about him, which I found to be exceptional (e.g., very humble, detail oriented). During the entire journey we had together (I was out of the country), we've communicated extensively through e-mail (I count over a hundred of them over several months) and international phone calls (many of which involved me cold calling him during his earning morning or late night, Seattle time, due to time zone difference). He was always prompt and responsive. I don't write online reviews but I had to write this one because of all the great things Andrew did for me.read moreeugenekim200Seattle, WA."Highly likely to recommend"

We explained to Andrew the we are looking for a fixer house in a specific neighborhood, location and budget, so that was not easy to match these days, due the fact that there are houses demolished every day in Seattle and there could be building a duplex or a tower next to your dream home. Andrew was extremely helpful in educating and teaching us to understand the actual quality of the houses and he gives us a piece of mind; overview the type of construction and characteristics, we inspect the houses with time and discretion. It also helps to know the potentials cost on the repairs of houses, while keeping in focus what we want to have in terms of final house and not in what he can potential sell to us, we never felt rushed or pressured, even though, he always was on the top of what was new in the market according the what we wanted to purchase, he texted and e-mailed us all the time, so pretty often we were looking the very next day at the houses. His expertise was evident when I traveled abroad and Andrew and my husband visited some houses without me, with the help of Skype, Andrew was talking and describe the houses, structures, sizes and keeping in mind what was my preferences in the house, I was nervous at some points but when he was telling me about my preferences on a house I truly believe that he has my back. We kept continued communication via e mails until him and my husband put an offer on that house. Andrew's expertise showed even more when we went through the buying process, he tracked details about negotiations and papers, making it easy to trust him in the process of buying a house. We recommended Andrew for a successful purchase in this market in Seattle. We have our beautiful fixed house with a lot of potential, and Andrew keeps in touch with us.
