Michael & Leilani West

ZillowVERIFIED

When my husband & I were relocating from Mukilteo to St. Louis for work, we wanted a realtor that brought strong local knowledge for our unique, sound-view home. Our next-door neighbor had sold their home in a matter of days in 2020 using Mike and Lani West - they couldn't say enough great things about them. So with that referral and our research, we asked for a meeting with them... Mike was super-fast in responding. It was clear from our first phone call that he went above-and-beyond to learn about the market - citing economic trends and sharing his insights/ learnings. We arranged a date/ time for him to see our home. In our first in-person meeting, we observed just how professional and put-together Mike & Lani are. Both are very charismatic and knowledgeable - they were on top of the details, Lani taking copious notes and asking thoughtful questions. From that point on - if I were to sum up our experience with them - they made our lives SO easy + you can look forward to delightful surprises. We received a card and bakery goodies shortly after our initial meeting, what a nice touch! We wanted to declutter our home by moving some furniture to a local storage unit. They have a moving truck which we used over a weekend to accomplish that, really took the stress/ cost out of that task. In the photography, it's clear that they have a meticulous eye for detail and they really made our home/ yard shine! When I opened up the brochure they designed for our home, I was blown away and all I could say was, aEURoeWow!!aEUR? Our home was set to go on the market just as we received news of record high temperatures that weekend. And, like most homes in the Puget Sound, we have no air-conditioning. I was very reluctant about how this would impact showings (+100 degrees in Mukilteo!). Mike and Lani were so patient and understanding. They listened to me vent and coached me through my discomfort. We went on the market, as scheduled, and while I was pretty nervousaEUR| thank goodness I followed Mike and Lanis impeccable advice as we received an unbelievable offer in < 24-hours on the market. The buyer's agent was someone Mike/ Lani had done a deal with just months earlier. It was abundantly clear that their relationship with the agent + credibility in the local market was what landed us this unbelievably fast, above-ask offer. The closing process was effortless, Mike/ Lani handled all the details and kept us well-informed. On top, they worked directly with my husbands company's relocation agent with ease. A corporate relocation creates a lot of extra paperwork/ bureaucracy, and Mike/ Lani handled it with no concern. Highly recommend - you'll enjoy their professionalism, detail-orientation, local relationships/ market expertise, and their intellect coupled with an easy-going approach.

Lani and Mike are incredible. They know exactly what they are doing. I interviewed several realtor since we had a very bad experience with one of the well known realtors in the past. We preferred someone who knows the area and we like updates frequently. Finally, we picked Lani and Mike. They did incredible job. They helped us sell our home within a week with the price higher than asking price. I would recommend them if you are looking for great realtor.

We first met Mike and Lani West at an open house that they were hosting in our neighborhood in Mukilteo. Both were so gracious and were very knowledgeable about the home that they were showing. When we decided to sell our home we asked them to come and give us some input about the value. They came with a wonderful packet of homes that they had listed and how to present our property, Their knowledge of the area and their presentation of a property is very professional and way beyond any other realtors that we had worked with. We listed with them and within days they had incredible professional photos, an impressive booklet on the home and our home was quickly put on the MLS. Their marketing of our property was top-notch and it showed in all the response that we got. The first week they held an open house and the home sold with several back up offers. They walked us through each and every step and with all their expertise they made sure when there was a few glitches that we knew our choices. After the house sold we were ready to find a new home. Mike and Lani had definitely listened to what we were looking for. They took us to several available homes knowing that they were not quite a fit, but would give us a good feel for what was available. Then when our current home went on the market they immediately went and viewed it, called us immediately stating that we should come see it. They were right, it was the one. They worked well with the other realtor and very professionally had everything ironed out in a day or so. We couldnt have been any happier that both were representing us in the sale of our home and then the purchase of our new home They are very knowledgeable about Mukilteo and the market in this area. Mike and Lanis communication, hard work and honesty made both of our real estate processes run smoothy.The Wests come very highly recommended by us as great Realtors and great people.

My wife and I are experienced professionals in the health care and technology industries and have understand when we encounter professionals in other fields. Clearly from our earliest interactions with Mike and Lani we knew we we're dealing with people who not only knew their industry, they understood all the micro and macro details needed to analyze the market, properly list and position our property and execute the negotiation and successful closing of the property.We very much appreciated their attention to detail, the personal effort and the quick follow up to even our smallest of questions. We would not only do business again with the West team, but we would highly recommend them to our close friends and family.

Not all realtors are equal. In the planning process to sell our home, we contacted two agents who were WELL established selling homes in the Mukilteo area. Mike's initial meeting with us blew us away. He was so very thorough in understanding our home and our priorities. He took photos and notes. He asked questions and answered just as many. He found positives for the little things we thought might inhibit a sale. He not only took time to know our house, he got to know us as a family. When he returned the next week with his market analysis, we were equally impressed. He took time to share information about the current state of the housing market and his marketing plan. He was thorough and gave us such confidence. Based on his market analysis, he set the price for our home above what we thought we could get - and he delivered, selling our home in 8 days. His customer service was excellent throughout. He even spent his Saturday hanging pictures to help stage our home. What happened to the other realtor? Not even close in terms of engagement and customer service. Mike was so far above in all aspects. During his second meeting with us, my wife and I independently realized he was the right person to sell our home. We did not even need to discuss it. As we readied our house to go on the market, he provided practical advice on areas to invest our time and money. He also connected us with contractors for the work. Many of the contractors were booked up due to the active housing market. But, they made room for us because of their ongoing relationship with Mike.My wife and I could not believe all the things Mike did for us. He was so humble and personable. He engaged our children during his visits. He was respectful of our home and time. He knocked the photography out of the park. He delivered his promises on time.Throughout the process Mike kept us informed and educated. He guided us through different concerns or anxieties that arose. His knowledge and experience kept us confident throughout. When we received our offer, he identified and negotiated away issues not in our favor.By the end of the process, we had gained such trust in and admiration for Mike and Lani. We sincerely felt they took care of us as if we were family.

Mike and Lani made selling our first home so easy! They are very professional and personable. Not only were we moving across the country but we had a new born baby as well. They helped us understand the home selling process and made us feel confident in listing our home with them. During this COVID-19 pandemic, Mike and Lani took extra precautions to keep us and our new baby safe. From wearing masks to sanitizing our home before we returned. I would recommend Mike and Lani to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. They are very knowledgeable of the area and provide the best service! ~Emily & Casey

We chose to work with Mike and Lani West primarily because of their extensive knowledge of the Mukilteo housing market and their stellar reputation in the community. They guided us through the home selling process from beginning to end and helped us navigate through challenges. We listed our home at the beginning of the pandemic, and it sold within two weeks, which we attribute to their fantastic marketing and networking skills. No matter the setback, Mike and Lani remained positive and confident. We could not have worked with better agents to help sell our home and start our new life in CA. They are true professionals with a proven track record of success. Hamid & Monique Alidadi
