"Zach Proved To Be an Indispensable Resource for Us!"
Throughout our home buying experience, Zach proved to be an indispensable resource for us. In the process of searching for a suitable location to move to, he offered us valuable insight and expertise which inspired much needed confidence. His relaxed and jovial candor provided a refreshing level of enjoyment in an otherwise tedious and painstaking process.Upon his discovery of what seemed to be the ideal location, price point, and housing arrangement for us, Zach's expert negotiation skills allowed us to sustain a competitive offer even at a lower price. I firmly believe that we would not be in the beautiful home we live in now if it had not been for Zach. I would personally recommend him to friends, relatives, and any persons looking for somebody knowledgeable, respectful, and approachable to guide them through the process of home buying.read moreWilliam havenShoreline, W"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 is extremely professional, friendly and fun!!"
Andrew came highly recommended to us. After interviewing a few agents it was clear we wanted to work with Andrew. We were selling my mom’s house that she had lived in for 55 years in Seattle but we were living in Portland which included additional logistic issues for us. The home hadn’t been updated at all but very well maintained.Andrew's background in construction and design really helped in making decisions on how to market the home and knowing how to show the home which included incredible staging and photography. We never had problems connecting with him, he was always available. Andrew went above and beyond for us. He made us feel like we were his only clients. The home was on the market for one week and brought in multiple offers higher than the listing price. Needless to say we were very pleased with the entire process and outcome. Overall, we highly recommend Andrew for buying or selling any home. He is extremely professional, friendly and fun. It was truly a pleasure working with him.read morebarbie3443Shoreline, WA."Andrew was extremely patient throughout the process!"
Andrew was such a pleasure to work through during this home-buying assistance. Unfortunately for him, not only did he have to deal with me, but also my father who was the actual buyer. Andrew was extremely patient throughout the process and understood the process of how my father and I had to communicate long-distance as well as come to an agreement on the final purchase.There was much back-and-forth to have to work with and I am very thankful that Andrew was there to help me understand the details so I was able to relay them to my father. I would recommend Andrew to anyone. His low-pressure and easy-going nature put me at ease and made this experience much less difficult than I had imagine it would be. Thank you Andrew for all of your help!read morezuser20140222085213569Bought a home in 2016."He is very Knowledgeable, Honest and was very Patient"

Due to relocating for employment, myself and my family moved from Southern CA to Kirkland, WA Nov ‘21. We weren’t familiar with the area and we were nervous about purchasing a house. After doing some online research we were fortunate to find Zach McDonald to help us.Zach was so knowledgeable about the housing market and knew all the areas surrounding Seattle. We found a house and bought it under asking price. Fast forward to Jan ‘22, we decided that we were homesick and wanted to move back home. We contacted Zach McDonald and he immediately went into action. We had a list of dates for the stager, inspections and photos. Everything was so well organized by Zach and his team that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The process was so easy and our house sold in 6 days after listing with multiple offers. I highly recommend Zach and his team!read moretanya nieblasKirkland, WA"Would highly recommend Andrew Schein to anyone!"

"My husband and I worked with Andrew this spring and summer to buy our first house, and we're so glad we did. Not only was Andrew patient and knowledgeable with all of our questions throughout the process, but as a King County native, he knows the neighborhoods and the housing market inside and out. He was extremely responsive to us and we always felt he had our back.In addition, he has a previous background in construction, so he could give a knowledgeable eye to the shape/quality/value of the house itself and issues that may arise. This was invaluable. He also recommended our lender to us, and the closing process went smoothly and was on time. We couldn't recommend him more highly. We will definitely work again with Andrew in the future."read moreClientRavenna, Seattle, WA."Doug is a true professional."
Doug is a true professional. Ultimately we had no idea where we were going to purchase a home. We had it narrowed down to both the 1-5 and the 405 corridor so pretty much any good neighborhood on the east side OR the west side. Doug was patient and knowledgeable, not only about the neighborhoods but also homes in general.Many times I found myself asking him his opinion about structure, remodels etc, no shortage of information, BUT if he did not know, he was up front with me and later email me the answer. We spent a lot of time in the car, riding with Doug was a real pleasure, he has a good sense of humor which kept us going when at times the wind was out of our sails. I would recommend Doug for many reasons but what really stood out was the following; he was fair, patient, professional, prompt, punctual, passionate and he made time for us. This is the type of agent you want to work with, no frills, no gimmicks, just excellent service.read moreChris WeeKirkland, WA."The Best Part Was His Responsiveness!"

When we decided to move to the Seattle area, we contacted a high profile real-estate agent in down town Seattle. After several months of looking a property we did not like, we decided to change agents. We found Doug Holman and are most happy with his services. Doug quickly realized what we were looking for,and found use the home we were looking for. We found Doug to be very patient, honest, a good negotiator and has a great sense of humor.

Andrew’s expertise, professionalism, and skill is top-notch. After having a terrible experience trying to sell our home last year with a different agent, Andrew stepped in and took care of everything from the moment we inquired (and even before he was “hired”). He personally saw to every detail,many of which we didn’t even know about until after the process was over. I’m sure there are details he attended to that we still are not aware of and never will be! Exactly what we needed. He is a true expert in the field. I would recommend Andrew to anyone in the market to sell. I’m so grateful to have been able to work with him.read morehaleyjodebellSeattle, 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.

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. Within a week of listing we had multiple offers and a buyer was selected based on Doug's recommendation.Bottom line we have smiles all around.read moreevgroman2015 in Seattle, WA."

Andrew went out of his way to accommodate any requests that I had. He had the breakdown of average home prices and surveyed my house within 24 hours to give an estimate of the selling price.

Jenny was wonderful to work with. She was professional and organized. We appreciated how thoroughly she communicated with us though every step of listing and selling our home. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent.user3398929Lake Forest Park, WA."I really couldn't recommend Andrew enough!"
Around the time we started looking for a home we saw a property and used Zillow's visit the property feature. A bunch of agents contacted us, left multiple voicemails, put me on mailing lists, called from unknown numbers and left vague voicemails, none about the specific property.Andrew left one voicemail explaining that the property was pending but they we should give him a call if we'd like to see other homes. I called Andrew back and eventually my fiance and I visited him in his office near Northgate where he went over the home buying process, his credentials and answered every (exhausted) question we had. He was very patient, knowledgeable and honest. With our budget, we weren't getting a craftsman in Capitol Hill, but we could get something in Seattle that met our needs with out breaking the bank. Over the next few months we saw houses that were nice but far away, fixer-uppers, small houses, houses in a flight path, flipped houses with a premium price tag for a mediocre paint job, and others my fiance and I just didn't agree on. When he sent us a houses that we liked, he met or drove us to the property in a day or so. I was really surprised initially when he would show us all the flaws, which he saw right away with his history in construction management. One house had a really interesting plank wall, which he showed us was not insulated properly and would likely affect our energy bills. When a house had an undesirable characteristic, he was very honest about the probability of changing it and how much it would cost. We eventually found a house we really liked that was bid out of our price range. Andrew was able get a pulse on the bidding process, and we didn't even submit an offer. We were disheartened, but we didn't have to spend any money. We even backed out of an offer that got accepted after the inspection showed a multitude of problems. Andrew communicated that this was just part of the process and we moved on. Eventually we found another place we liked. Andrew arranged a pre-inspection and we submitted an offer. There were almost 10 other offers on the place, but Andrew put together a really solid offer letter and it was accepted. While researching the home buying process I found that sellers sometimes didn't accept an offer just because the offer wasn't put together well enough. Less than a month later and a document signing arthritic hand later, we had the keys. I really couldn't recommend Andrew enough!read moreDavid MasonSeattle, WA."We feel very lucky to have connected with Andrew and would recommend him in a heartbeat!"
My wife and I were first-time home buyers and Andrew made the process much less intimidating than it could have been. He went to great lengths to understand what were looking for and was super-responsive throughout our journey.

Andrew came highly recommended to my wife & I by a few different friends. What initially caught my attention was his background in architecture & construction. As first-time homebuyers, having his experienced eyes on our potential homes helped us understand what types of projects would be the ones we'd want to take on versus the types that we didn't want to get involved with.Beyond his experience and knowledge base in these areas, strictly as an agent, he proved to be a very professional high-level performer. We never had problems getting in touch with him, and never felt that we were in the dark with any steps in the process. When we wanted to make an offer, the turnaround time from that decision to the moment we were e-signing was rarely longer than an hour. We did end up looking during a time when he had a vacation scheduled (yes, even real estate agents have to get away!) but he lined up exceptional coverage for us during that time and we can honestly say that it didn't hinder our search at all. Though we were looking to buy a home during the slowest time of the year (November - December), we could tell that Andrew was very accustomed to the competitive nature of the Seattle market. He knew what strategies would make offers look appealing while staying within our parameters. It also meant a lot to us that even though we were looking in a price range that is lower compared to most of Seattle, the attention that Andrew gave us was exceptional. We looked at numerous homes in a last-minute fashion, and Andrew was as eager as we were to find a time to make appointments like those work. I think it's also worth noting that he worked very smoothly in tandem with our mortgage broker, making sure no details were ever lost. Especially after talking with other friends who have been through the home buying process, we could tell that we had been working with an all-star. We would absolutely work with Andrew again whenever we make the decision to buy or sell another home.read moreThe Wood FamilySeattle, WA."His Advice Was Spot On!"
Zach walked us through the entire process for both our new home purchase and the sale of our home. His advice was spot on. We sold in 2 days above our asking price! We are happy with the results.jhramshurIssaquah, WA"Go with Andrew. 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."House Preparation was flawless!"

Doug assisted me (as a buyer's agent) with my first home purchase in 1994. Unlike other agents who I considered using at the time, Doug was not pushy, and indicated his willingness to work with me even when I wasn't sure at the time if I was ready to buy then, or wanting to wait a few months.Doug walked me through the process from Step 1 completely through the purchase, and was professional, easy to work with, patient with my many questions, and made sure the sale went through without any problems. When I was ready to sell that first house in 2003, Doug did a fantastic job of marketing the property and handling the sale. I had an offer and purchase and sale agreement after two days. Doug recently completed the sale of our second house, in September 2011. These are more uncertain times, but Doug once again did a fantastic job for us, and resulted in a sale after a very short listing period. Doug's thoughtful, careful analysis of house preparation, pricing, staging, listing, and handling of the ensuing transaction was professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. It was really nice to know that we could turn to Doug to handle our sale without a moment's hesitation. He once again did a truly exceptional job for us. We have referred Doug to family, friends, and acquaintances, and everyone has been very happy with his services. I look forward to having Doug handle all of my future real estate needs.read moreEmerald City SellerSeattle, WA."He is very knowledgeable about construction, markets, and the buying process!"

This is a difficult business and there is a lot of money at stake which is not lost on Andrew. It was important to properly present our home which required painting, landscaping, cleaning, staging, even decommissioning an oil tank. Each home requires a project manager that has to arrange all these vendors and make sure they follow through.This is Andrew's strength and if you need an agent that can put the spit and polish on your home, I highly recommend Andrew. One day prior to closing, he even sent me photos of the water and e meters which is very helpful, and detail is often forgotten with other agents, that alone speaks volumes. Final Negotiations are an art-form, and Andrew comes across as very professional to everyone he is contact with. I am very pleased. ps. did I mention that just prior to staging, he felt the floors needed a good wax, so he did it himself. Thanks Andrew for selling our home.

It's really great to work with Zach. I can feel his passion for his job, which then leads to an outstanding customer service. He responded to all my questions quickly, even on Sunday, and gave informative answers. He broke down the complicated process of home buying to smaller steps that I could easily follow even I have no background.There is another point I really want to highlight. He always gave me his own opinions about the properties we looked at in an honest and critical way, but at the same time, he never persuaded nor dissuaded me to make any decisions. Not all agents can keep this boundary clear and comfortable, and Zach did an excellent job. I would highly recommend him if you are searching for a real estate agent, and I would like to work with him again if I want to buy a second place.read moreJessica TangSeattle, WA"Highly Professional and Responsive"

Whenever we ran into a potential issue or concern, Andrew was always ready with a plan for how to proceed to make sure that we were able to get the home of our dreams at an affordable price.

Zach McDonald and his team were the absolute best to work with - five full stars! From the very beginning when I contacted Zach I knew he and his team were the ones to handle my unusual transaction. A friend of mine had passed away and I was charged with selling his beautiful home. I didn't know the area,I didn't know the market and I didn't know what to do cosmetically to the home to get the best sale result. Zach put me at ease right away with his knowledge of the market, his practical approach to preparing the home for sale, and his and his team's willingness to assist with the upgrades. Zach and his team not only advised on the clean-up and refresh, they also had many connections in the cleaning, painting and repair industries. If they have a contact for the service the home needed, they helped locate one. All of the cleaning and repairs happened in a very short period of time and if one of the contractors couldn't complete their portion on time Zach and his team found another contractor to keep the project moving. Their efforts before the sale made the upgrades easy and affordable - and almost painless to me! The results were amazing. The home was listed for $1.2mm and sold 10 days later for $1.410 mm. I highly recommend Zach McDonald and his wonderful team of associates - they did an incredible job for me and got results I never could have imagined.read morebarbara50677Edmonds, WA"Responsive"
Doug was my realtor for my first home purchase. He really took the time to understand what we were were looking for. By taking us out and sending us gentle reminders of what was out there, we were able to figure out exactly what we were looking for. When it came time for putting in an offer,he was helpful but in the end let us decide what the home was worth to us. Doug is great in that he shares his opninion in helpful ways to get a real feel for the condition of the homes you are looking at. We also had a bit of a rocky time with the selling agent, but he patiently worked through the deal despite lack of responsiveness on the sellers part.

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."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"We will definitely work again with Andrew in the future."
My husband and I worked with Andrew this spring and summer to buy our first house, and we're so glad we did. Not only was Andrew patient and knowledgeable with all of our questions throughout the process, but as a King County native, he knows the neighborhoods and the housing market inside and out.He was extremely responsive to us and we always felt he had our back. In addition, he has a previous background in construction, so he could give a knowledgeable eye to the shape/quality/value of the house itself and issues that may arise. This was invaluable. He also recommended our lender to us, and the closing process went smoothly and was on time. We couldn't recommend him more highly.

Andrew is an all-star agent. From his passion and expertise on all things involved in real estate transactions, to his responsiveness at all hours, you can't go wrong working with Andrew. Andrew's experience in high-end building (and his degrees from UW in architecture and construction management)set him a part from other agents. He's not only a master of keeping track of the details, but also helped me imagine what my house could look like with some minor remodel work.

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. I would highly recommend him to anyone, and particularly first-time buyers like myself.read moreSam MillerSeattle, WA."He is very professional and fun to work with!"
I worked with Andrew for almost 11 months to finally get the townhouse fitting for my budget and taste. This was my first home buying experience and I didn’t know anything about the whole process. Andrew started with educating me about all of the home buying steps, then he carefully noted what I was looking for.Next, he showed me a large portfolio of listings with different prices and characteristics to help me set my expectations. Later, he patiently showed dozens of townhomes to me during the next 10 months and he was totally objective with his opinions. He was very organized, prompt, and reachable when we needed to submit an offer in a very short amount of time or I wanted to see a unit. He was a great help during the closing phase as well. He was always on my side and protecting me as his client. He was involved in every stage actively and his bias for action solved some significantly important obstacles that I encountered during the closing phase. He kept checking if everything is fine with the house even after I moved in. Also, he is very professional and fun to work with. Overall, I feel very lucky to work with Andrew; without him I wouldn’t be able to get my home as smoothly as I did.read moreelcin cetinkayaWA 98126."We 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!)

Doug has been my agent with the two properties I have purchased, and I have been very impressed with the job that he did each time. He is easy to work with, knowledgeable, and makes the whole process very smooth. Doug was more than willing to take me to look at all the properties I wanted to see andwas great at noticing details about them that I would never have noticed: things like neighborhood, condition of the property, and what (if anything) should be expected when it came to maintenance or possible property improvements. He was open and communicative about the negotiations and buying process, so I never felt like I didn't know what was going on or where I stood. The price on the last place was not particularly high so I'm sure he had some bigger deals in the works, but you would never know by the time he spent and care he took to make sure I got a place that I wanted at a price that I was happy with.

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."We will absolutely turn to Andrew when it's time for us to move again!"
As a first-time home buyer, Andrew was the perfect real estate agent for my husband and I. He displayed masterful knowledge of the Seattle market, whether that took our search to Columbia City, West Seattle or Greenlake. He truly knows the ins and outs of the city, which was a remarkable advantage for us.He also took the time to fully understand what we were looking for and help us focus our time, energy - and most importantly - our budget so we were always looking at homes we had a shot at. He found the perfect balance between not being too pushy, but also being stern when we were getting off track. This was exactly the type of guidance we needed. He was also consistently responsive to our frantic calls, texts and emails - always keeping his cool. This in itself is impressive when you combine first-time home buyers, a few months of low inventory, AND hyper competitive Seattle market! Andrew also stood out from other agents with his architectural background. His ability to walkthrough a house and fully detail how it's structural makeup, quality of materials used, etc. is unbelievable. This really helped build up our confidence as we continued our search. Once we finally found our dream home, Andrew was the definition of professional through the offer, acceptance and closing process. His insights helped us build a competitive offer that both worked within our budget and made our offer standout to the seller. We always heard that the real work comes once the offer is accepted, but Andrew made it so simple. He clearly laid out every step and regularly checked in along the way. We were also suprised and delighted by a welcome home gift basket once we got the keys! I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking to buy or sell their home - especially if you're a first-time home buyer.

Doug was my buying agent on both of the homes I've purchased. The things I like about Doug include: 1. I never feel any pressure from him. It's objectively how I feel about the house + any input I ask from him and if we look at 10 that day and I don't love any of them,it's just back to the listings board with the same helpful/positive demeanor of the first 10. 2. He knows a lot about schools, better worse parts and other details of the north Seattle area which is where I've purchased my two homes. We also looked in South Seattle and other places though which I also felt like me provided good perspective on. 3. Doug is very responsive. I know I've personally felt bad about having Doug chaperone me around as I'm pretty picky. He let me know that even if it's just one house and even if I'm not 100%, that he'd always rather as see it as fast as possible and take as many trips out as necessary than try and wait to save time. 4. Overall Doug is just a nice a pleasant person to spend time with and talk to through the buying process.

Andrew is the best agent you can ask for. He was ridiculously responsive throughout the several months we spent searching for our house. We would not have guessed that he had any other clients from how much flexibility and time he gave us during this process. He never pressured us to visit houses during open houses or on our own.Andrew was able to quickly learn what we we wanted even when we couldn't communicate our vision. We are first time homeowners and Andrew walked us through the process of finding our first home. Since we hadn't been through this process before - Andrew was always great in pointing out things in homes that we weren't always thinking about. He was patient and incredibly knowledgeable and professional. We couldn't imagine going through this process with anyone else. When we submitted an offer he knew we were especially excited about, he even took the time time to hand deliver it. When things got more complicated with the city during closing (through no fault of our own), Andrew went out of his way to gather more information and continued to negotiate on our behalf. If you are looking for an excellent, knowledgeable, extremely responsive agent that makes you feel like you are his only client - look no further!

This being the biggest purchase we have ever made we thought it important to work with someone we really liked.The market we walked into was incredibly competitive and Andrew did a fantastic job walking us through each and every step of the process. He was quick to provide highly specific details when asked but could also keep things brief and high level. We found him incredibly responsive, especially when we wanted to go see a house the day it came on the market.

Doug has been my agent since I purchased my first house in 2002. Not only is he always professional, knowledgeable, and collaborative, but he also goes above and beyond the call of duty. Doug integrates his expertise of the industry with the needs and wants of his clients. Since 2002,Doug has helped me to sell a couple of my parents' rental houses, as well as provided valuable insight whenever I have questions regarding real estate or property management, regardless of whether I am actively looking or just curious about the market. On top of all this, he is very approachable and personable- you never have to worry about be given the hard sell, or being bullied into purchasing/selling something you don't want to do. This year was no different. Over the past couple years, I've been thinking about purchasing a new house. This year, I finally decided to commit, and began the search process. The housing market in Seattle was very hot, and inventory was very low. Through it all, Doug provided sound advice and guidance, support, but also knew when to challenge me on things. As I am a single person, his feedback and input to me was invaluable- it provided me a second set of eyes and helped me to process through what I really was looking for. Ultimately, I found an amazing house, and Doug was steady through the entire negotiating process, even when surprises popped up. When I first met Doug over a decade ago, I thought I was hiring him to help me buy a house. Instead I found a person and a friend who I trust and respect to provide honest feedback and clear insight. Not only have I continued to use him for my or my family's needs, but I've also recommended him to other friends. All of them have had success with Doug.read morespencerchanSeattle, WA.
