We could not have asked for better agents for our house buying adventure than Victoria Castell and Naomi Bryant at Four Elements Realty & Co!
In addition to the usual complications of buying a house in a hot market, we had the added wrinkle that our dog has separation anxiety. Victoria and Naomi made her welcome every step of the way, allowing us to bring her to the office for meetings, and securing permission from listing agents to bring her along for viewings.
The first house we bid on ended up being a complicated, slow-moving disaster of a transaction, and our agents' good advice helped us understand what was happening and know when it was finally time to walk away. They brought a mix of common sense and good humor that helped make a stressful situation easier to bear.

And the story has a happy ending! Within a week of walking away from that bad deal, we found a literal dream house in our current beloved neighborhood, with a beautiful yard for our dog. They helped us craft a competitive bid, arrange inspections on a tight timeline, and close within three weeks.

All along the way, I never felt like Victoria and Naomi just wanted us to buy *A* house. They wanted to help us find *the right house*. They always kept our needs and wants in mind, and helped us see potential downsides of houses that were not-quite-right, so that in the end we found a home we loved, within our budget, rather than settling for the first place that was good enough.

I will be recommending Four Elements to anyone I know who is looking to buy or sell a home in Washington!
