I will competently and compassionately guide you through the real estate process, providing extensive market knowledge, aggressive marketing strategies, negotiating expertise and honest advice to ensure your understanding every step of the transaction. SERVICES FOR BUYERSYour home purchase is the largest and most complex financial decision of your life. It is very important to have a knowledgeable expert firmly in your corner during this process. As a results-oriented buyer's agent, I have developed a GUARANTEED BUYERS PROGRAM specifically designed to take the uncertainty and stress out of your home buying process. As my GUARANTEE to you, I will: Explain all steps involved in the home buying process, the terms used, and all players involved.

Create an open dialogue to learn about your home style preference, your lifestyle, your price range and your preferred neighborhoods. With my knowledge of the greater Seattle market, I will save you time by quickly narrowing your search to neighborhoods and homes that fit your criteria. Use the Northwest Multiple Listing Service (NWMLS) to find homes that meet your needs, preview these properties on my own, show you "the best of the best" and help you determine the pros and cons of each home. Employ my tact and negotiation skills to guide you through the purchase once we find the "home of your dreams". I promise to negotiate aggressively for the best price and terms possible. Create a "closing timeline" to monitor the various actions and deadlines leading to the successful close of your transaction. Exhibit the highest standards of dedication, integrity and professionalism throughout every phase of the transaction. My goal is to exceed your expectations so you would never think twice about referring me to your friends and loved ones!

As first time buyers we were unsure of where to begin and were referred to John by friends who had a great experience working with John during their home search. We didn't quite know what we were looking for to start and John first began by understanding the wide range of homes/characteristics we might be interested in and then began, quickly and thoughtfully, getting us into tour homes so we could see and feel what different types of homes, models, years, etc. would be like. From there we were able to refine our search and John was amazing with sending new homes and getting us into tour homes (sometimes within a couple hours notice) we were interested in. During tours John was very meticulous in pointing out pros and cons, helping us think about what life would be like at the property, while also giving us some space to get a feel for it in solitude. When we finally found the home that felt right, I was very impressed with John and his ability to strategically prepare and offer and work with the listing agent to come to an agreement. Not only was John able to secure an agreement that was below asking price, but the sellers also replaced the washing machine and serviced the HVAC. Every step of the way John was there to support us and made sure we had clear understanding about what was happening and what would be needed/expected of us so there was never any surprises or confusion. I can't compliment him enough on his thoughtfulness, flexibility, communication, thoroughness, and genuinely being someone I enjoyed touring homes with on the weekends and afternoons. Long review, but this is a testament to John's incredible service and capabilites. I can't recommend him enough to anyone who is looking for a home or is unsure of where to start, like we were! We look forward to continuing to stay in contact with him and use him again for future buying and selling needs. Thanks again, John! You rock!

I've bought two homes with John. He seems to know everything about every neighborhood in the Seattle area. For the most recent purchase, the search was year-long because I have so many (sometimes conflicting) criteria - and John was unfailingly patient and understanding throughout. He also gave me a lot of tips about home and yard maintenance - I learned a lot from him. Highly recommend.

Buying our first home was a huge step, and were so glad we had John as our real estate agent. His expertise and guidance were invaluable throughout the entire process. Johns in-depth knowledge of the market and his patient approach to answering our questions helped us feel confident in our decisions. He never pressured us into making hasty decisions and provided us with all the data we needed to make informed choices. His sharp eye for possible issues saved us from potential headaches down the line. Johns exceptional negotiation skills were instrumental in securing a fantastic home. He advocated for our best interests and helped us craft a strong offer. In addition to all these skills, Johns friendly attitude made the entire home-buying experience very positive. We highly recommend John and know that well be working with him again.

As first-time homebuyers, we were incredibly fortunate to have John as our agent. He was an invaluable guide throughout the entire process. John's impressive knowledge of the local market and his unwavering availability to answer our questions, no matter how trivial, made us feel confident and informed. We appreciate that John never pressured us into making hasty decisions or tried to "sell" us on a house. Instead, he provided us with all the necessary details to make informed choices. His keen eye for detail, akin to an inspector's, was incredibly helpful during home viewings. John's outstanding negotiation skills were instrumental in advocating for our best interests. His expertise enabled us to craft a strong offer and ultimately secure an amazing home that fits all our needs. Beyond his professional skills, John's pleasant demeanor made the entire home-buying experience enjoyable and less stressful than we anticipated. We wholeheartedly recommend John to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated real estate agent.

I'm so thankful to have worked with John to find and then purchase my first home ever. He is very knowledgeable, pays attention to understand what youre looking for, and really cares that you buy the right place for you. I felt so well guided through several years of patient search. Johns got your back and goes way beyond the job description! Whenever I'm back in the market to sell or buy a home again, I will definitely work with John!
