"Dinato Luz was a really good and professional Real Estate Broker he always replied back to us right away, he was very knowledgeable and kept us informed on the whole process. He kept us encouraged throughout the bidding process which is really tough at this time houses are going so fast with multiple bids and it was his knowledge and skills that gave us the strongest offer that won our bid for our house. Dinato also always made himself available to view a house which is needed in today's housing market you have to act fast. Dinato was always very polite and respectful. I definitely would recommend Dinato and will be calling him in future."

"Diane’s patient guidance helped us get through both the sale and purchase of a home, and her willingness to help us find a good place for our family was so greatly appreciated. She helped us understand the positives and negatives, and how other parties may react, to help us make informed decisions without adding pressure or trying to sway us. We were probably very frustrating clients to have, but there was never a point she let that show and always kept our best interests in mind. I would recommend Diane Grim to family and friends without hesitation!"

"When it came to buying a home I was extremely nervous. My husband and I were first time home buyers and didn't really know where to start. Tanya Lorella met with us and got us started right away! She walked did through every step (even a few steps a few times) .
When we went to showings my husband wasn't able to make it and Tanya still met with me and she really knew what to look for and what to notice. Little things that I wouldn't have.
She was always responsive. We would find a home and she would respond to go look at it the next day.
We closed on our first home purchase in 31 days. Tanya was on top of it all, our paperwork, what we needed, due dates of things.
I 100% would recommend Tanya to family and friends. In fact we already have !"

He stuck it out and worked with me for the long haul to make sure me and my girls found the home that checked all the boxes; no matter how long it took, how many offers were not accepted, nor how many times I changed my mind about what I needed. He is the best!"

Tami was AMAZING! This market is crazy! We ended up writing offers on 7 homes before finally getting under contract on the 8th go round! She was patient, knowledgeable, made herself available, and bent over backwards for us. I will sing her praises to all that will listen!!"

She listened to all of my needs and priorities with the sale, and was thoughtful about our go-to-market plan, pricing adjustments and eventual potential buyers and offer reviews. She helped navigate a number of unique variables to get the sale done to my satisfaction at a great price. She clearly knows the Burien market. She was super responsive by email, phone and text, and took time to explain things to me in detail so I understood and was comfortable with all of the decisions I needed to make as the seller. I would 100% work with her again and recommend her to anyone in the area."

"Jennifer listened to what both my husband and myself wanted most in a home and talked to us about how the homes we looked at matched up to those requirements and requests. Currently, it is a sellers market and Jennifer was good at laying out where our focus should be during negotiations. She pushed the sellers realtor to consider our offer quickly and ultimately got us the house we wanted. She knows the area and other real estate agents we came across well. Lots of expertise all around. We were very happy with Jennifer Ng as our agent."
Joy Fisher, Normandy Park, WA (Buyer) Mon, 12 Oct 2020 11:39:49 +1000
"Calvin Mark and Tami Miller quickly became more than just our realtors. They became our trusted confidants and sage guides. We trusted them unwaveringly and we knew they had our backs no matter what. They truly cared about us, what we wanted in a home, and worked several weekends putting together last minute tours.
The Seattle real-estate market is competitive and filled with constant highs and lows, but Tami and Calvin bring more joy to the experience than I could have imagined.
They are two people we'll forever be grateful for, and we'd love to have dinner with after purchasing our home - can you say that about your realtors? If not, you should find new ones."
April & Jesse, West Seattle (Buyer) Tue, 06 Oct 2020 03:56:46 +1000
"Buying for first home or your tenth home, it is always a scary experience. Colin Mccabe was simply amazing. Super positive, high energy, extremely knowledgeable in the real estate market, and hard working.
Colin Mccabe will always educate you with little tidbits about the process so that you don't feel lost or confused. He makes things extremely easy to understand.
Most importantly, Colin is extremely easy to reach. No matter what time of day, he will reach out to you if you have any questions. Very timely in response.
Colin is honest with his feedback and keeps working hard towards finding your HOME.
Luckily for us, Colin knocked it out the park!
It is easy to recommend Colin to all friends, family, and people who simply speak about looking into purchasing a home. Colin will give all of his clients 1000% and more every time!"

"Tamara Chakos is one of the best Agents I have had the pleasure to do business with. She is always willing to do thing that most agent would not do. As an example on this transaction she had to travel 180 miles round trim to get wet in signatures not just once but twice...and bought the seller lunch? I will refer this lady for the rest of my life amazing service."
Justin (Buyer) Fri, 25 Sep 2020 10:55:40 +1000

"Tayna Lorella was a fantastic buyer's agent! My fiancee and I were moving from Bellingham to the Seattle area and met her at an open house months before we were committed to the move. Not only did she remember us from that single interaction months prior, she quickly understood our needs and was always there to point us in the right direction. She has deep knowledge of the area and passed on some great recommendations from contractors, to inspectors, to loan officers. Tayna's willingness to work with our schedule (mostly involving evening and all-day Saturday showings since we had to drive down) and responsiveness via phone, text, and email made relocating a breeze! Thanks Tayna!!"

"We wanted a real estate agent who we knew and trusted.
Maura went above and beyond in multiple areas of listing and selling our home. She felt like a true partner in our success every step of the way. Marketing the home, she set up professional photography and staging - both helped to put our home in the best possible light.
Handling contracts and keeping on top of deadlines, she ensured a smooth transaction.
We were out of the area, so when issues came up that required someone on-site, Maura didn't hesitate to check on the house, take care of issues, or meet with contractors
Maura is a consummate real estate professional. If we had questions, she responded promptly, clearly, and thoroughly. She also made the whole process enjoyable and just plain fun (as much as selling a home can be!)."

"There is no one better than Callie Lagasca! From the moment we met Callie she put my nerves at ease and listened to what we needed, which in the beginning was time to prepare ourselves to sell our home and find a new one that was better suited to our needs. Once we were ready to sell Callie has not missed a beat - she is always available, kept us informed of what is next, helped keep our buyers on track, and helped us sell our house faster and for more than we expected! We are forever grateful for her expertise, time and detail she puts in as it has helped our family tremendously!"

We worked with Calvin Mark in purchasing our first home in 2013. We recently sold that home earlier this year and now purchased our second home with the help of Calvin Mark. After the experience of buying and selling with Calvin Mark, he is the only agent we will ever use.
Calvin Mark is great. we had lots of questions during the new home purchase process. Calvin Mark was verify patient and answered all of our questions. Calvin Mark had great recommendations all throughout the process."

The sale was very quick. We were impressed they came personally to explain about the offers. It helped.

"Nalani Kaopuiki-Young was great to work with. As first-time house buyers, Nalani helped us navigate through the complex process especially through the unprecedented times of the pandemic. We appreciated her honesty and attention to detail when viewing houses and for asking the seller agents the good questions we would have never thought to ask. She was in no way trying to just sell a house but wanted us to buy a house that was right for us. She is extremely friendly and easy to talk to and was a great communicator over email and the phone. We always felt that Nalani had our best interest at heart and would highly recommend her."
Jessica, Tacoma (Buyer) Thu, 02 Jul 2020 04:57:59 +1000
"There was a point where she and I had a slight disagreement, and we were able to solve it amicably. And then we just went forward in a great professional relationship. She was personally extremely helpful in arranging for cleaning and minor repairs. Went over and above what any other realtor has for us. Very helpful and willing to physically work getting our place cleaned. We were out of town, living 115 miles away, during the 30 days waiting for escrow to close. We couldn't have been more pleased. Her help reduced our level of stress immensely!"

"Calvin and Tami are the best agents I've ever worked with. Calvin and Tami helped us through selling two homes and buying a new one, during a major global pandemic that started in the middle of all of this and yet we still experienced the smoothest transaction ever. Both Calvin and Tami were excellent in all respects and I would absolutely go with them again or recommend them to anyone I know."

I can trust her for a real estate journey like you would trust one of your siblings. She will guide you help you and be there for you, throughout. I know it sounds too good to be true but it is."
Gulam C (Buyer) Fri, 29 May 2020 03:19:02 +1000
"Caren was very considerate and helpful. Presented us with comparative listings of all the properties in the neighborhood in advance. Devoted a lot of her time into preparation for us.
Caren went above and beyond with her sales efforts, to satisfy both us and the buyer. The house was sold on the first viewing, obtaining an offer well above the market price, which she says was a record for her, and it was a blessing for us to have the property sold so fast!
Again, Caren went out of her way to make sure that everything for selling the house was prepared correctly, including voluntarily installing weather coverings on outside pipes, cleaning the yard and house, painting the driveway and making other arrangements to ensure everything was performed properly and to obtain an excellent sales price. In addition, overseeing an excellent staging. Also, since we were remotely located, she made sure to guide us through all the escrow procedures smoothly providing instructions on every step to help us complete the signing smoothly. I (we) would highly recommend that anyone we know selling house or buying a house to go through Caren as she goes out of her way to ensure that everything related to the sale of the property goes smoothly. Caren receives a five star rating in our evaluation!
Caren was excellent in every aspect. We wouldn't know how to rate her sales performance and assistance in any other way.
The overall service of everyone involved was great!"
Yoshie Machida, Tokyo Japan (Seller) Thu, 28 May 2020 13:02:26 +1000
"Maria was truly wonderful to work with. She personifies professionalism and caring. In the setting of a global pandemic, site unseen, first time homebuyers Maria was able to navigate all of these complexities with grace and support. As buyers living 3000 miles away from Seattle we heavily relied on video and electronic communication. Maria was quick to respond with replies, new information and often times video tours personalized to us within 24 hours. She was referred to us by a family member who recommended her highly based on her integrity, work ethic and trustworthiness. We were able to find our dream home and we couldn’t be happier. Maria was honest and open. I will be recommending Maria to anyone close to me if they’re looking to purchase homes in our area."

"We’ve now used Colin to buy a house and a piece of land. We love him. He’s excellent at his job. He gained our trust initially with his honestly and care that he took when we were purchasing our first house. He has been a loyal friend and broker since then. We look forward to him dropping by from time to time and always make sure he gets an invite when we host bbq’s. 100% will recommend colin’s services to others."

This was our first home purchase and she helped us navigate and understand the process in an easy, professional and customer focused way!
She was always available and willing to help - she is an expert in going above and beyond.

"I was truly blessed. It just started off as a conversation and next thing I knew was I was looking at condos. I never considered working with anyone else.
Brooke was definitely first rate on turning things around and keeping me informed. Especially with the COVID-19 causing difficulty for the lender and escrow and financial transactions in general.
Brooke is in a class by herself. She exemplifies hard work, professionalism, and fun.
Brooke made the whole thing so easy. I couldn't have asked for a better experience or a better agent. ❤❤"

"We loved working with Callie! She is so knowledgeable, patient, and such a great support through the entire process. The home buying process can be intimidating, especially as a first time buyer. Callie kept us informed and up to date on everything that was going on and we appreciate her answering all our questions (even if we asked the same one more than once). She was always positive and even when we kept going back and forth on what our dream home was, she went with it and never made us feel like a burden. We can’t thank Callie enough! She’s the best and we highly recommend her!"
Mary & Jonathan, Renton (Buyer) Wed, 08 Apr 2020 07:48:23 +1000
"We never even met Maura personally, but chose her over 4 realtors we had met when originally listing our home. After 6 months working with another realtor with little activity, we were needing to get our home sold, now from another state. A friend highly recommended Maura and Susan, and after speaking with them on the phone, we really felt they worked to understand our needs and concerns. Always responsive, it was so easy to work with them. After sitting 6 months with another realtor, we had multiple offers above the same listing price after 2 days! The staging was incredible, the service, fantastic.
A wonderful experience. Maura listened to what frustrated us about our experience with our initial realtor and worked hard to ensure we were constantly informed, and answered as many questions as we needed without making us feel rushed. Our buyers threw several curve balls, many at the last minute, all of which were handled effectively and with our best interest at heart. Maura was an excellent negotiator; she let us lead and never pressured us into giving in where we otherwise felt strongly. Highly recommend."
Karen Lynne Knaup, Lincoln, NE (Seller) Tue, 07 Apr 2020 04:34:33 +1000
"Dianna had been involved in other family member transactions and we were ecstatic she was available to assist us with purchasing our first home. If you are looking for an agent that knows their stuff and the complete process ahead, I highly recommend Dianna."

"I purchased the home I sold 7 years ago with Calvin Mark,and I am in the process of purchasing my next home with Calvin. Based on my experience when I purchased my first house with Calvin there was no reason for me to even think about using another agent. Calvin, is very attentive and personable, he helped my wife and I navigate through the process of selling our first home and was very patient as we asked a lot of questions.

"Diane was essential to our process in that she served as our "backup agent" during a brief period when our primary agent was not available.
Diane stepped in to assist during the final phase of closing and did a wonderful job in supporting us and making resources available - i.e., notary services in the local field office, and readily available to receive questions.
The hand-off and back-up between our primary agent and Diane was seamless and deeply appreciated by us.
Diane is special."

"Tamara is a true professional ... always felt like she had our best interests at heart ... and she "delivered" to goods and continues to support us in our transition.
As stated - we could not be more pleased with both processes - the acquisition of our new "forever home" and the sale of our condo. The whole experience went perfectly and was painless ... felt at each step that we had made the right decision - at the right time - with the Right Team.
So grateful to Tamara."

"I've worked with many real estate brokers over the course of my life. I'm happy to say they've all been fairly good. Then I had the pleasure to work with Colin Mccabe. I now clearly understand what the definition of what a great agent is.
I had a unique set of features I was looking for with a hard cap on price. Basically I asked him to find me a unicorn in today's market which we is extremely difficult. Colin never considered giving up, not for a second. He expanded searches, spoke to his contacts and took the time to drive me all over the greater Seattle and Tacoma areas.
His knowledge and experience equally match his shining personality. He's high energy, not high pressure. He takes as much stress off of his buyer/seller as humanly possible, which is a big deal.
During the entire process he kept in contact with me at all times. Most notably he isn't the kind of guy to just push a house onto you. We saw a few where he flat out said this price is too high, or this has too many unknowns.
It's absolutely refreshing because a lot of agents see a sale before honestly considering the long term satisfaction of the buyer. Colin truly wants you to be happy. Imagine buying a car where the salesperson 100% had your best interests in mind. Think about how rare that is! Now apply it to a decision as important as a house. That’s what he delivers. This is not only a testament to Colin but also to Berkshire Hathaway. I've worked with two of their agents in the past year and both went well past exceeding my expectations."

"Our initial contact with CALVIN MARK resulted from a personal recommendation, but after our first face-to-face meeting with him, both my wife and I felt extremely comfortable that CALVIN MARK both understood and respected our goals, priorities and preferences and was working very hard from the very beginning to create a process that would work well for us and result in an outcome with which we'd be satisfied. That that's exactly how things turned out.
There really wasn't any aspect of our experience with CALVIN MARK where I wouldn't give him top marks. Never disappointing, always meeting or exceeding our needs and expectations, CALVIN'S WORK with us was exceptional. We really appreciated the balance of his being direct and open with us while always being sensitive and considerate.
Regarding the specific aspects of our process - Deposit money/escrow: Clear, easy, no problems; Negotiating price and terms: very open discussions, always felt "informed" of how things were going, understood our priorities and preferences; Local knowledge: we got very good pointers from Calvin on the pro's and con's of various neighborhoods and areas we were considering; Inspections/Open Houses: very helpful in setting up a hassle-free, reasonably priced inspection that executed on time and provided meaningful results; Attention to detail: Exceptional - always felt we were well informed and always on a timely basis. Never felt like something was missed. The exchange of contracts and closing: On time, easy, stress free, much simpler than we expected it to be. We ended up in a home we love, in an area we love, and all at a prices that was perfect for our goals. Outstanding!!!"

"Tamara was extremely helpful throughout the whole process, making everything very easy for me. She was so friendly and always had a positive, upbeat attitude.
Tamara was on top of everything that needed to be done and would respond to any questions I had right away. She was very knowledgeable when showing me different homes, pointing out important things to take note of.
I would recommend Tamara and Berkshire Hathaway to anyone I knew buying or selling a home."

"Mr. Phillips was an amazing agent for me, yet again! He has an incredible way of explaining everything to me, making sure I understand, and most importantly, making sure I'm comfortable throughout the entire process and we're both always on the same page. Having had him as my agent when I purchased my first home, I knew that I must absolutely have Mr. Phillips as my agent again. Extremely knowledgeable and unmatched professionalism, I will always, highly, recommend Mr. Phillips."

"This was our third successful transaction with Jennifer Ng this year. We couldn’t be happier. Our two sales sold within a week of listing and both came in above asking. The closings were smooth and easy. Our purchase didn’t even go on line. Jennifer’s knowledge and experience are very evident. All three homes showed beautifully with staging and a first rate photographer which put them ahead of their competition. We have purchased our forever home and won’t be needing her services but we will highly recommend her to any and all who need an agent in the future."

"Jessica Jee was very much appreciated when it came to finding and making an offer on my Condo by the locks. IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO DECIDE WHERE TO LIVE, SINCE I HAVE FAMILY
ALL OVER THE AREA. Jessica did it. Found the perfect spot. Made recommendations on a good solid offer that was excepted. This was, by the way
a
lot lower than the appraisal, I found out later, and was so pleased. I haven't moved in yet, but am more excited every time I am there.
I WILL CALL Jessica Jee again if I am in the market for another home or sell my house."

"Samantha Teson was very helpful to me. I had not moved since I moved into my house which was 47 years previously and the information I needed to get my house ready for sale was a mystery which both Samantha and Jessica helped me to unravel. I really appreciate the knowledge and the direction that was given, often with a smile and a sense of friendship and not the same pushiness that had come with the other realtors who seemed to me to be "salesmen" trying to get the house sold for the least effort and greatest price. I would recommend Samantha any day."

"We chose Diane Grim because we had friends who had used her for the purchase of a home and they had only wonderful things to say about her and her professionalism and hard work on their behalf.
Diane Grim was amazingly helpful to us in the purchase of our vacation home as she was able to remain calm, cool, and collected in a very back and forth situation where emotions got high as we negotiated the final price. She was a dream to work with, kind, encouraging, thoughtful, and tough!
Diane Grim embodies all the characteristics of an exceptional real estate agent. She listens, works hard, has excellent customer service skills to be able to speak with and work with a vastly divergent group of other agents, inspectors, handymen, and homeowners, yet always remains calm, polite, and sharp as a tack, but aggressive and assertive when warranted.
All of the agents and people we worked with along side Diane Grim were professional, kind, understanding, hard working and wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend Diane and everyone else at Berkshire Hathaway.
Again, the experience working with Diane Grim was excellent from start to finish. She is the utmost professional, who is hard working, polite, a great listener, and someone I would easily recommend again and again to anyone looking for an agent to help them purchase property. I cannot thank her enough for all of the time, dedication to the search, and effort she put into helping us find our dream vacation home."

"Holly Schramm was a pleasure to work with when selling our previous home and purchasing our current one. She made the process easy and painless, answering any questions we had along the way. The staging of the home, open house, negotiations and paperwork were all wonderfully handled. I recommended Holly to some of our friends, and recently they too sold and purchased a new home with Holly's help. We will definitely recommend her to others and will use her services again when we purchase our next home."
