Client Testimonials

Chadd and Lizzy - Green Lake

“ In any relationship, the key element is communication and trust, and John embodies both of these in his business transactions. From the sale of our first home in Ballard, to the purchase of our new home in Green Lake, we felt that John was working in our best interest as buyer and seller. He also was extremely prompt with communication, including driving miles to find cell phone reception in the woods of Michigan to check in. His data and analysis was balanced with common sense and the willingness to explain anything - we felt that he was realistic with the market conditions. Hopefully we will not need his services again since we are now in our dream home! We would not hesitate to recommend John to our friends, family or colleagues. ”

Rob and Janet - University Place

“ We initially selected John as our selling agent because we were looking for a knowledgeable professional experienced in the Seattle real estate market. Throughout the entire process of preparing the house for sale, as well as the showing of it, we were impressed with his enthusiasm and seemingly limitless energy. He kept us informed every step of the way, offered suggestions at the right times, and was uniformly upbeat. His guidance clearly worked as he presented us with several competitive offers after only a week and a half of showing. We have since recommended him to many friends and associates, and will continue to do so. We have bought and sold several homes over the years, but have never had an agent we enjoyed working with as much! ”

Mike and Hillary - University Place

“ John helped us sell our University Place duplex. We enjoyed working with John and found him to be professional and patient throughout the entire process. His marketing and negotiation recommendations were based on a strong knowledge of the market and we didn’t feel pressured to make decisions we werent comfortable making. If top notch marketing skills, competitive commissions, drive for results and consistent correspondence are important to you, John is your real estate broker. We definitely recommend him. ”

Scott and Dani - Green Lake

“ I'm generally skeptical about both the value of a real estate agent and their ability to get things right, but John proved what a talented professional could do. Both buying and selling, from beginning to end, John did a great job - he managed negotiations, helped prep our house for market, dealt with other agents in some difficult situations, supported us through various neuroses, and made things happen professionally, reliably, and quickly. I would not hesitate to recommend him. ”

Karl & Kate - Ballard

Cliff - Wallingford

“ John was my buyer's agent for purchasing a home in Seattle. He was very responsive, professional, and I would highly recommend his services to others. I ended up with a great home in Wallingford and John was very helpful since he knows the neighborhoods and Seattle market really well. Definetely a thumbs up! ”

Michael & Jessica - Columbia City

“ Thanks for your help! We were very satisfied with your service. You were there whenever we needed you. I will definitely recommend you to my friends at work and family members. ”

Kris & Kara - Wallingford

“ From day-one, John took the time to walk us through the process step-by-step, helping us set realistic expectations and ultimately helping us negotiate a price we were extremely happy with. John is one of the hardest workers I have had the opportunity to deal with, his hustle is without match. He was honest and informed, and I never once questioned how dedicated he was to helping us get the best price. His competitive commissions weren't bad either. I am proud to recommend John to friends and family alike. ”

“ I want to thank John for being so open, level-headed, patient and helpful. There is no doubt in my mind that John’s efforts made all the difference in the successful sale of our house (a good turn-around and good price to boot!). I am so glad we decided to go with a Realtor and am glad that we chose you. A million thanks. ”

Katherine S - Capitol Hill

“ Being a first time home buyer I needed a Realtor willing to take the time to walk me through every step of the home buying process. When it came to negotiations I found John to be a strong advocate for me as a buyer. John was very knowledgable and patient. I would definitely recommend John. In fact, I already have! ”

Zoran and Jade - Capitol Hill

“ I thought we had a good Realtor when I purchased my old home. I can say now that after buying my new home, John was truly an excellent Realtor. ”
