ZillowVERIFIEDWe have worked with Kayla twice, as she helped us buy and later sell our Seattle home. Her experience, extensive knowledge of the market, and sharp negotiation skills helped us win the bidding war for our home and later helped us get top dollar on the sale of that home. Shes also very responsive and eager to answer any questions that come up along the way. If youre buying or selling in the Seattle area, I highly recommend working with Kayla!

Kayla did such an amazing job in helping us find and purchase our condo. She knew all of the buildings in the Belltown area very well. She was incredibly responsive by text, call, and email, always keeping us up to date on the process and sending us new listings. She was willing to set up showings very quickly and we would not have gotten our condo without her expertise and responsiveness. We recommend Kayla without reservation, truly anyone would be lucky to have her as their realtor.

This was my second time working with Kayla and she helped me successfully purchase my first home in the complicated Seattle market. She was wonderful throughout the entire process. She was kind, flexible, super responsive, and she made sure that she or her team were always available so that I could see properties quickly. She also was confident in giving me the gentle 'push' that I needed when I was having last minute doubts. Highly recommend and I would use her again in a heartbeat for my next house purchase.

Kayla is the perfect realtor. We closed on our home in less than 30 days and she got us extra credits during negotiation. She is extremely professional and didn't try to pressure us into buying or checking out things we didn't want. In fact, she disrecommended several properties that wouldn't have been a good fit. Good time saver, respected our needs. Will purchase another home with her again.

Kayla was outstanding, she helped my wife and I purchase our first investment property in Seattle. Kayla is well versed in all the pitfalls for first time investors and expertly navigated us through the entire process from property identification, financing, and negotiation to purchase the property. As well as provided expert guidance and long list of trusted partners to remodel, refinance, and ultimately rent the investment property. I strongly recommend Kayla to any first time investor.

We are so immensely grateful to have had Kayla as our agent when buying our first home! Kayla is so knowledgeable about the Seattle market and was there to guide us through every step of the home-buying process. She is kind, responsive, professional and goes above and beyond for her clients in every respect to ensure a positive experience. We always felt at ease that when we found our perfect fit, she would do everything in her power to make our dream a reality. We secured our lovely home against 10 other offers thanks to her strategic expertise and hard work behind the scenes. I could never recommend Kayla enough to anyone buying in the greater Seattle area. She is the best person to have in your corner and we hope to work with her again in the future! Thank you so much, Kayla!

This is my 4th time working with Kayla but the first time she helped me personally find a home. I am a financial planner. I was first introduced to Kayla in 2018 by a lender I worked with who assisted my clients with their mortgage. They also needed an agent, and this lender said Kayla is the one and only person they should consider. I quickly learned why as she helped my clients quickly secure a home during a bidding war. I referred two other clients to Kayla who both had equally successful experiences. Fast forward to 2023 when my wife and I were ready to buy our first home. Without hesitation I knew Kayla would need to be our agent. She went above and beyond throughout each step of the process to educate us on what to expect and prepare us to make a competitive offer once we found out home. We were able to secure a home at under list price in a highly competitive part of Seattle WITH inspection contingencies and repairs! I can't imagine using anyone else for my clients or my families future home purchases.

Kayla and her team were a great asset in our Seattle home search. We were able to land on a great house quickly due to her expertise in scheduling open houses and recognizing our preferences. When putting in our offer she got us a great deal, and helped with organizing inspections while we were out of town.

Kayla Preston at Every Door Real Estate is the best in the business to work with, quite literally. She is award-winning and highly regarded by her colleagues at Every Door and her community and business contacts. She knows everyone and can connect to any service you need throughout the home buying process including inspection, mortgage broker, etc. And they will all bump you to the top of their list because Kayla sent you. Kayla really listens to what you want and offers great guidance and strategy. She understands how emotional the process of finding a home can be. Most importantly, she is incredibly strategic. Seattle is a crazy housing market to navigate and she made it feel really manageable. We ended up in a dreamy home in Magnolia at a price point that worked for us! That seemed so impossible to us when we started looking that I initially laughed when my partner told Kayla his dream neighborhood was Magnolia. And now we live here and will forever sing Kayla's praises. If you are buying or selling, call Kayla. She has helped so many friends and contacts find the perfect home.

Kayla is an incredible Broker. She was immediately responsive to our every question and was able to bring an ease to the huge undertaking of buying a home. We are so appreciative of every detail that she noticed, her honest feedback and her ability to talk us through the "what if's". We ended up purchasing our forever home with Kayla as our broker, and she was able to help us negotiate the purchase of our now home for under asking price. I strongly recommend her.
