"He went out of his way to help us and worked hard for us in negotiating/closing process!"
Andrew was excellent to work with. He was incredibly responsive, hardworking, personable, and all around knowledgeable about the housing market and structural/cosmetic components of houses. He listened to us and quickly picked up on what we were drawn to and what we disliked.He went out of his way to help us and worked hard for us in negotiating/closing process. He always made sure our questions were answered and never pressured us. We were very happy to be able to work with Andrew for buying our first home in this competitive market, and we would highly recommend him!read moreehudson925Seattle, WA."Unlikely to recommend"
We came to Heidi in hopes she could help us move into our duplex that just happened to work out so perfectly, from what we thought... We were rushed in to signing a lease sooner than we expected to move. She "gave us" a week free of rent.Tonya BauerLake Stevens, WA."Couldn't have asked for a better experience!!"
I can't say enough about the service provided by Andrew Schein - I would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking an agent. Selling my first home was a new experience in and of itself. As I also happened to be relocating out of state while doing so the challenge was only furthered. Andrew's coaching,guidance, and execution couldn't have been better. I received knowledgeable guidance, great insight on areas to upgrade/repair, and solid instruction. Ultimately I received an offer within the first week and closed without issue. Incredibly smooth process at the price anticipated. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.read moremcpodobnikSeattle, WA."Zach and His Team Are Very Responsive!"
Zach and his team are very responsive and went above and beyond for us. As first time homebuyers we had a lot to learn and Zach took the time to teach us how to make a competitive offercooperc04Lake Stevens, WA"High Quality Representation"
I've hired Sarah to help sell several homes for me in 2021 and 2022. Sarah is a detail oriented agent with a keen eye for marketing. She has excellent knowledge of all local neighborhoods in the Seattle area and I would recommend her to any buyer or seller looking for high quality representation.zuser2017"Very Flexible!"
Heidi was there when we needed her. She was actually showing houses at another location when we called her. She came over, showed us the house, and we put an offer in that night!<br/><br/>Heidi assisted us with all the paperwork and did a great overall job!markabare01WA 98021"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."He is professional and responsive!"

Doug was an incredibly knowledgeable, persistent, and patient agent! My husband and I were looking in many different areas of the Northern Seattle-area suburbs, and weren't entirely sure what we wanted. He helped us narrow down what we wanted, and what was important to us. In a very difficult and tight market,he was proactive and hustled to make everything happen. We could not recommend him highly enough.read moreCarlee and Peter TothKenmore, WA."Doug is a wonderful agent."

Zach helped us get our first home in the Seattle area. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. Even in a real estate market like this, he was able to find us a great home within our budget.

Doug was our realtor when we purchased our Wedgewood home in 2004 and again when we sold the same house in 2010. The market was bustling in 2004 and we put in several offers on different homes in the area before buying our house. We were impressed with Doug's knowledge and timeliness in the negotiations and paperwork necessary to move quickly to get an offer in.Afterward, Doug became a great resource to us during our homeownership - helping us find quality services and answering questions we had as first time homeowners. This was above and beyond the call of duty, something that we appreciated of Doug very much. The housing market in 2010, when we decided to sell our home, was a difficult time to be selling. Doug helped us price our house in a way where we were able to sell quickly and yet meet our pricing expectations. While selling the house we lived out-of-state and we appreciated Doug's willingness and ability to find people to make repairs to the home as well as manage those repairs. Doug is very personable, knowledgeable, and hard-working - not only a great resource, but simply a great guy. We can only hope to find a relator like Doug in our new state; it's going be tough to fill his shoes!read morealexpburnsSeattle, WA."I Strongly Recommend His Services!"
My experience with Zack buying my first home in America (I'm European) was great! I decided to quit renting and finally buy a place… I was a little concern about my little knowledge of this endeavor in the US. Zack was able to explain this very clearly from the start, and on every stage of the closing process.He was exceptionally diligent addressing the issues around my tight timeline to close, due to a scheduled trip to Europe. He was also exceptionally adaptable to the times of the day I had available to go see places around the city. I wanted to get a good sense of what was available for my price range in different areas of Seattle. Zack was always pleased to show a good range of possibilities, and very thoughtful helping in my decision. I strongly recommend his services, friendly and very professional.

Doug Holman is a superlative realtor. His innate intelligence and keen perception allow him to understand not only the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the real estate market but also the nature and personality of his clients. He succeeds because he develops a connection with his clients,leading them to houses he knows will be a match to their needs and wants. Working with Doug is a journey, where frustration and weariness vanish because of his wise and caring attitude. I recommend him without reservation.read moreheimoandkateOR 97846."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."Extremely Professional!"

Vicky was great, she worked very hard for us. She was quick to respond and went the extra mile. Much appreciated. We will definitely be using her again and will recommend her to everyone.kjk 03Lynnwood, WA."A real estate expert you want on your side."
Doug Holman is the real estate expert you want on your side when you are buying a home. My wife and I were on the hunt for our first home in December 2011 when we met Doug. We were planning on meeting with several agents and picking the one who best matched our interests. We were looking for someone who was experienced,straight forward, family oriented, and who had our interests in mind and who took his job seriously. I liked Doug from his description of himself; "I'll be the 40 something 6'2" guy with a manila folder." Our first meeting went very well. After checking out a few of his references (all glowing recommendations) we decided Doug was our man. Doug took the time to find out our interests, our price range and our future plans. He sent houses our way, gave candid reviews of the properties, and took us touring. After several weeks of looking, we found our future town-home - a great deal of a short-sale that was being rented to tenants. Doug made it easy for us - he set us up with a loan officer (who obtained a great deal for us), obtained concessions from the bank, dealt with the tenants, helped with setting up utilities, and more. The process from submitting a bid to closing took over three months. During this time he kept sending us more properties to check out in case the short sale fell through and maintained constant contact. Even after the sale Doug continued to help until the entire sticky tenant situation was resolved. Doug is an intelligent expert in his field and made us feel like we were his only client. It was evident that our well-being was important to him. Doug will be on our team for our next home purchase.read moreuser44126WA 98133."Andrew went above and beyond to get quotes from various contractors."
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."We cannot recommend her highly enough!"
Working with Vicki was absolutely the best! We did not think there was any way we could afford a house that would meet our needs but Vicki encouraged us to look anyway. Not only did we find an amazing house because of her, but it is even better than we could have imagined. Vicki was super flexible to work around our schedules,was constantly in contact with us, and was always reachable when we had a question. When we found THE house, Vicki worked tirelessly to make sure everything was in order! We cannot recommend her highly enough!read morezuser20150218134715316Everett, WA."He Was So Patient!"

I cannot recommend working with Andrew strongly enough. He made the experience as a first time homeowner exceptionally easy and smooth. Andrew walked me through every step of the process of buying a house and gave me his honest opinion on each home we viewed. Andrew always made himself available for phone calls,house tours, and would tell me straight up if he didn't think a home was the right fit for me. Often times Andrew would make himself available to show me homes on an hours notice, which is important in Seattle's competitive market. When we found the right home, Andrew was immediate in getting a competitive offer in. Through negotiations, Andrew kept me in the loop, and help negotiate a great deal in which the sellers covered a lot of repairs and the costs of closing. Andrew worked diligently with escrow company, my mortgage broker, the sellers and everyone else that was involved in purchasing my home, always keeping me in the loop but handling much of the heavy lifting so I didn't. The experience of buying my first home was incredibly smooth and simple, and I owe that entirely to the hard work of Andrew. I will be recommending him to all of my friends who are considering buying a home in the future, and strongly recommend him to anyone else who is looking for help securing their first home.read morenickabel74Seattle, WA."Competent and Experienced"
Jenny Boffiou was referred to my husband and I by my friend Michelle, who told me “Jenny is no nonsense and gets it done!” Jenny Boffiou turned out to be the greatest realtor we could ever have. First, Jenny is very competent and experienced and she knows how to price, show and sell properties.She sold our property to the first prospective buyer who attended the first open house. Second, Jenny kept us extremely well informed by giving us an early education on how to sell and by responding promptly to all our emails, text messages and calls. Third, Jenny prevented me from worrying by promptly giving me the answers, guidance and reassurance I needed. Jenny is down to earth, firmly grounded, generous, kind, intuitive and deeply caring. She is an excellent realtor and will always be our only realtor.read morelisa roth9Seattle, WA."I would highly recommend him!"
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. Andrew was very patient and kept the buyer fully informed. This led to a successful closing. I would highly recommend him.read moreGilbert LeiendeckerSeattle, WA." I Would Highly Recommend Zach!"
We met Zach at an open house and he made such a positive first impression that we immediately decided we'd like to work with him. As first time home buyers we had a lot of questions, and he was able to walk us through everything perfectly! Zach ended up finding an awesome place for us that met all of our criteria months before it would have been listed.Thanks to this we were able to have our eventual offer accepted without any hassle (prior to a bidding war or price increase). The process of getting the offer in, negotiating and eventually closing was dealt with by Zach masterfully. Throughout the entire process we had a perfect level of communication. It didn't matter when we called Zach or why, he was always super responsive and able to sort out issues we had immediately. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with the experience.

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."Was Very Responsive and Easy to Work With!"
We used McDonald Realty to search in Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mill Creek Mukilteo, and eventually buy in Everett. We are relocating from out of state and buying a new home sight unseen is adds an extra level of difficulty in a tough, competitive market.

Since I was not in the area where my home was listed, Andrew provided me with a real sense of security, and represented me well during the selling process.

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"Doug is very responsive."
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. I know he represents both buyers and sellers and I'd recommend him for either.read moreErik SederholmLynnwood, WA."Doug Holman is a PRO!"

Doug Holman’s the best. He helped me with the upleg of a 1031 exchange. I’m in the process of selling some real estate I own in California and re-invest in the Seattle area. I sold a small apartment in California without realizing how tight the Seattle market was and would have had a bad result if Doug wasn’t there to help me.Doug has such a command of the neighborhoods he works that he seems to be able to sense which properties will be best from the investment perspective. He also can look beyond the first impression and see hidden value. He has experience fixing up properties that might be undervalued in their initial state, and has an extensive list of contractors and handymen that he will recommend if the numbers work out. The market in Seattle was hard to break into in April 2013 but Doug kept working with me until I accomplished my objective, which was to find real estate that produced a very respectable rate of return. The properties are well enough located so they will probably appreciate nicely. I am managing the properties myself but had to return to California for an extended period. Doug has been kind enough to help me find handymen for a few small items that came up since my leaving. I’m an experienced investor and have worked with good realtors before. Doug is the best.read moreuser9309564Shoreline, WA."Andrew went above and beyond all expectations!!"
Andrew went above and beyond all expectations to help me achieve the best price for my home. We completed an extensive renovation and literally transformed my home.hforoShoreline, WA."I highly recommend Andrew’s services!"
Andrew recently represented me in the purchase of a very small Seattle condo for $147,500. Though I strongly suspect this transaction was his smallest of the year I received the type of extraordinary, highly personalized attention one might give to a buyer of a massive McMansion.Some real estate agents might have felt the representation wasn’t worth their time: an out-of-state buyer needing extra attention, a tiny property owned by a cumbersome, bureaucratic bank, and the agent’s impending vacation might have caused some to toss the file onto a junior colleague’s desk. Not Andrew. He rearranged his schedule to match my needs, lengthy Sunday evening in-person office discussion included. He guided me through negotiations with the bank with aplomb, correctly anticipating my counterparty’s reaction to a given proposal. At one point Andrew insisted on keeping in nearly day-by-day contact despite being on vacation. His work on my behalf didn’t even stop at closing; he personally drove across town the afternoon before Christmas Eve to take care of a task that was entirely outside the scope of his responsibility because I, his client, was out-of-state. I’ve purchased many properties in the past, and have seen many real estate agents up close. Not one approached this level of professionalism. I highly recommend Andrew’s services!read morewilsonvilledaveSeattle, WA."His Attention to detail is excellent! "
Doug Holman's attention to detail really sets him apart from other sellers. I have sold four homes over the last 8 years and by far, Doug was the best. He stays engaged not only during the listing process but really takes the time to make sure the house is staged properly and is looking its best for a great sale.We sold our home at the slowest period of the year and he put in time to draw the few buyers in with open houses and networking with buyers agents. Doug did not encourage us to take the first offer on the table either as I have seen from other agents, he knew what we could target for a sale price and we stuck to our guns, it was worth following his good advice. I would use Doug again for either selling or buying and if you are in the market, I wouldn't recommend any other agent than Doug.read moreuser493142WA 98155"Zach Was Great to Work 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."He saved us from many homes which had hired skilled photographers and/or stagers!"

He saved us from many homes which had hired skilled photographers and/or stagers.Andrew also made himself available late into the evenings, 7 days a week. We lost a few homes in bidding wars but we were impressed with Andrew's accurate assessments of where the final price would probably land.

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.

As a first time home buyer, Doug inspired confidence in the hunt for a place to call home. Doug did not try to rush us or pressure us into settling on a house and was the first person to call out problems with a potential home. He even steered us away from a few houses that we initially liked but that would have caused us serious problems down the road.When we found "the one," Doug immediately reached out to the seller's agent to put us in the pole position to get the house. We got into a bidding war with another potential buyer, and I relied on Doug's advice throughout. We got the house!

Doug was really great on both counts. When you look at a lot of properties, you spend a lot of time with your agent traveling from place to place. We spent our time asking hundreds of questions and Doug patiently explained the entire market landscape to us. Since we work out of the country and departed Seattle before the closing, Doug has also found a tenant for our condo. So the process from finding a property to renting out the property has been very easy and efficient. We would definitely use his services again.read morehenrytsang2016Mill Creek, WA."We Couldn’t Recommend Him More Highly!"

As a first-time buyer and an immigrant, I highly recommend Andrew as a buyers agent for the following reasons. - Andrew knows the greater Seattle area very well. Obviously he has been in the area for a long time. I vaguely remember he said he grew up in the area. He knows Seattle very well,which is crucial for immigrants like me. In the beginning of my search, my targets were not clear. I could not make up my mind about the area, and even the type of homes I should focus on. His knowledge about Seattle helped me narrow down my targets, and finally found the home I love. - Andrew is professional. As a first-time buyer, I have a lot of noob questions. He set up a video call and educated me the process of home buying. He tried his best to answer all my questions thoroughly with patience and care. He is never impatient even when I asked repetitive questions during the home tours. Andrew significantly alleviated my anxiousness to buy a house for the first time. - Andrew never pushes the clients to increase the offer. Everyone has different preferences. An agent should never push the clients to make an offer just to get the commission. Unfortunately, we still hear or see agents like that from time to time. In contrast, Andrew wants the buyers to get the homes they really love. He even advised against making offers to houses that are not worth it. He advised something like: "this house is XXX at most", "I would not make an offer on this one", "This one would not be competitive", or "We should walk away from this one." (These are probably not his exact words.) - Andrew responds, quickly and professionally. In such a market, we often need to discuss and to make decisions quickly, which requires the communications between the buyers and the agents to be quick and clear. It sounds simple, but it is not easy and Andrew is good at it. Once I changed my mind and decided to make an offer on a home in less than 12 hours. Andrew still made it happen! I can make many more bullets, but you know what we mean. I highly recommend Andrew as a buyer's agent.read morechinjungliuKirkland, WA."Was Extremely Professional!"

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.

Jennifer helped throughout the process of what was an "as is" estate sale home, from the point of readying/clearing the home for sale, to swift listing, showing, evaluation of multiple offers & closing. She was resourceful with great contacts to help us complete some estate property clearing,plus deep cleaning the home and extensive landscaping/clearing. What was very important for us was having a realistic eye with recommendations of what to invest in before listing the home - a reality check on things like whether or not to paint, etc. I am confident we struck the right balance there, with her help and suspect I would have wasted effort/expense on actions that ultimately were not necessary for our specific scenario. She was always open to help me run down things at the house, to open it up for pick ups, etc., during this part of the process, which in my case, living 45 minutes away, was extremely helpful. This is clearly beyond the call of duty. Thanks again very much Jenny. In evaluation of the offers, we also had to keep an eye toward the associated risks of an older home, owned by our family since 1968, that had been unoccupied for approximately 2 years. We benefitted from the excellent market, and ultimately were able to close quickly with a cash offer - very important to our specific situation with an estate. The house was open for showing and open house activity over the weekend for any offers to be received and reviewed on Monday night. Jenny reviewed them with us, helped us with title questions as we got the estate attorney's review, counter offered, and had mutual acceptance by Wednesday afternoon I believe. Our closing was complete in less than a month from the initial listing (and over the Christmas holidays). Overall, we appreciate Jenny's help and would recommend that you see her when the house has completed its renovation by a professional builder! We are confident it will be a beauty again.read moremargaretnomiLake Forest Park, WA.
