When my husband and I decided to relocate to the Seattle area after living in the Bay Area for a few years, we began doing research on neighborhoods in the area and searching for a home that would work within our budget and meet our criteria.  As first time homebuyers, we were quite nervous about the whole process and quickly realized that we had a lot to learn. Early in the process we were referred to Emily. We set up a consultation with them over the phone and they immediately helped us feel more at ease about the home-buying process and assured us that they could help us find an affordable home that would fit our criteria.  Right away we began receiving weekly emails listing homes for sale in the neighborhoods we were interested in. Even though we were still months away from our planned move, we loved being able to look at houses online and get a feel for the different neighborhoods. We knew we were in good hands when Emily would periodically check in with us about the listings they were sending and when they would ask for feedback on which houses we liked and which we didn't. They were extremely diligent and we could tell right away that they were committed to finding the right house for us. We set a date to come visit and meet with them in person. Since we were new to the Seattle area, Emily took the time to introduce us to the area and showed us a wide range of homes in several of the towns we were interested in. They also gave us helpful information about commute times, traffic, and the vibes of each town. Though we hadn't planned on putting an offer on a house during this particular trip, one of the last few houses they showed us was perfect in every way: great neighborhood, amazing schools, and short commute for my husband's work. We put in an offer and it was accepted! We appreciated that Emily never pressured us to make a decision quickly and that they addressed all of our questions and concerns along the way (and as first time homebuyers we had quite a few!). They were incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate market in the Pacific Northwest and helped us find our dream home. We are so grateful for their help, expertise, and advice, and would recommend them in a heartbeat.
