Sandra and her team do it all. Sandra walked through our home with a keen eye, knowing how to best use our budget for top dollar changes and then, her team made those changes happen, painting, landscaping, floors, cleaning, lighting, fixtures, and plumbing. Sandra has the trust of local contractors so there’s no need to call, wait and schedule. Sandra’s team made all appointments happen, so we could focus on moving, not selling. Staging, photos, and videos are all included. We felt like we were on an HGTV home network show. In the end, our home sold for $150K above what we expected. Sandra is solid. She’s honest, professional, and kind. We had the best possible experience.
We worked with Sandra to buy our home in West Seattle. We were probably fairly unusual buyers, but Sandra met every single need and want we threw at her. After getting a large rent increase, we decided to quickly put a toe in the water on buying; before making that decision we had only been at the 'idle talking' stage. On day one I contacted Sandra and after hearing our interests and constraints she immediately connected us to a preferred lender so we would have fast pre-approval. On day two and three she showed us as many houses in the area as we wanted, and gave us helpful insight on the houses and properties as well as how to evaluate them against our needs. On day four, having found a property we we very interested in, she got us an inspection and a sewer scope while preparing an offer for us. We put the offer in on day five and were accepted on day six. She then helped us through al…

On day four, having found a property we we very interested in, she got us an inspection and a sewer scope while preparing an offer for us. We put the offer in on day five and were accepted on day six. She then helped us through all the next steps to get to closing, including finishing our closing from out of state on a long-planned trip. We were able to move so quickly because of the trust she instilled and how effective she was in communicating with us and hearing what we wanted and needed. I'm sure most buyers will not go from 'no plan to buy whatsoever' to having an offer in within 5 short days, but the skills and support she gave us in an unusual path would serve any buyer. We also truly appreciated her great skill in balancing giving feedback and insight with hearing from us what we really wanted. Whether she comes by it naturally or has honed this professional skill, it was truly valuable to us in our home-buying experience, and I'm sure it would be helpful to other buyers no matter their needs or circumstances. We also loved that she, on top of being skilled and responsive, was a member of our community who clearly was engaged and cared for. With a transaction as big as buying or selling a home, it felt additionally good to be in a business relationship with someone who felt a responsibility to be community-minded. We have now lived here closing in on one year, and are totally happy with the decision we made and the work she did with us.
Blake was an awesome realtor to work with. I would recommend him to any of my friends and family and would work with him again in a heartbeat. He was always super responsive and worked hard for us to get our dream home - a true professional!
Sandra and her team were amazing! My wife and I worked with them when we were in the process of moving from Seattle the NYC area. A cross country move is super complex and Sandra, Blake and Krista bent over backwards to make it easier. I'm especially grateful for their out-of-the box thinking and prompt communication. Overall, Sandra's team is excellent and her local connections in Seattle facilitated everything from finding movers to making household repairs.
