We were originally working with Matt temporarily as our first agent was out of town for a couple of weeks. After that time had passed, we asked to be referred to Matt because we felt he had done such a great job getting to know our situation and tastes, even in such a short time. While an agent only has so much control over the crazy Seattle market, Matt did his best to ensure we had the knowledge and outlook that would make us successful. He didn't mislead us when it came to our chances of having the winning offer or what was within our budget. When we got to the offer stage on several properties, he explained every option and clause thoroughly and gave us an honest opinion on what it would likely take to win. While it took several tries, we ended up with a place that we love and, thanks to Matt's responsiveness and willingness to explore all our options, we don't have an ounce of regre…

While it took several tries, we ended up with a place that we love and, thanks to Matt's responsiveness and willingness to explore all our options, we don't have an ounce of regret in the outcome. He was patient, thoughtful, and kind every step of the way, and it helped reduce the intensity of an already stressful process. When it comes time to buy again or sell in the area, Matt will be our first stop, and we'll be enthusiastically recommending him to anyone we know who's looking!
We highly recommend Matt Martel for any of your real estate needs. Matt is highly professional and very easy to work with. He spent time showing us many properties and worked around our busy schedules. He was happy to show us as many properties as it took to find the right house and never pushed us to make any quick decisions. When we found our perfect house, he took the time to answer all of our questions and research information for us. He was super accommodating when we had to meet to prepare our offer, and explained all the paperwork in detail. He accompanied us at the closing and continued to offer any help he could even after the closing. Thanks, Matt, for all your help throughout the home-buying process!
Lauren was exceptional and such a pleasure to work with throughout the buying process. The negotiation process can be stressful for a buyer, but Lauren exhibited such calmness in walking me through the process and provided trusted guidance and recommendations. Lauren’s established relationship with the mortgage/escrow company as well as her clear and timely communication and attention to detail made a quick 3 week closing seamless. I searched a long time for the perfect beach house and I am so grateful to Lauren and her team for their part in making my dream come true. I highly recommend Lauren, she will not disappoint in helping make your dreams come true as well!
This is the second time we have worked with Jared. We knew we needed to find a house for my parents and we knew exactly who we wanted as our agent. Jared is personable, extremely knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond. He's also a broker and is a whiz at helping you figure out the financial piece. He helped us find a great rate at a very difficult time. In fact, when we move ourselves again, we will be going to Jared. We've had great experiences with Jared to help us through the stressful process! And highly recommend him. In fact, when we bought our first house we recommended Jared to a few other couples. And of course, they loved their experience with Jared!
Justin is a fantastic realtor! He really cares about his clients. He will spend time with you to understand your requirements and work hard to find an ideal home for you. In today's market, where the competition is crazy and you are easily outbid by others, it took us 1.5 years of searching and losing out on offers to finally get one accepted. But all through this, Justin was extremely patient and never pushed us to get out of our comfort zone. His comp analysis is usually spot on! He's honest, polite, very responsive, and has a great knowledge of the industry. I have no hesitation in recommending Justin for your real estate needs.
Josie and Aaron are a great team to work with. We contacted them while we were still in California with no solid plans to move to Washington, just a desire to. Regardless they were willing to start helping us right away (this really made an impression on me). They were always available, ready to go even when we'd want to fly up last minute for the weekend to look at houses. Their flexibility and patience with us were phenomenal, as I'll admit we weren't the easiest first-time homebuyers. I would recommend them to anyone I know who needs to buy/sell a house, and we will without a doubt go to them again in the future.
