I have had the privilege of working with Ida on two different occasions. She made the whole process of both buying and selling my house almost effortless. I never had to worry about what was next. She was always on top of it.

Very patient with all of our constant texts and calls and questions. She Found us out home super quick and helped walk us through the entire thing from writing a compelling offer to negotiating repairs. Plus, Ida has an extensive network of reliable contractors she is willing to share. Once we closed on our home we wanted to make improvements and Ida gave us ideas on updates that bring the best return. It always feels like Ida has your best interest at heart. She is always honest about everything along the way. Definitely recommend!!!

My wife and I have worked with Ida on more than one occasion, both as buyers and sellers. She has always been amazing. Not only does she have extensive knowledge, she is an absolute work horse. If any problem ever comes up during the buying/selling process she always kept us informed and worked with us to try and find a solution. Both time we sold with her we made much more than we expected. My wife and I are moving out of state but if anyone is interested in buying or selling in the Kitsap area, Ida's name will be the first I recommend every time.

As first time home buyers in an extremely competitive market, the process of buying a home seemed daunting at first. However, Ida's expertise made the process smooth and stress free. Ida's advice helped our offer to stand out among numerous appealing offers. In addition to her extensive knowledge of the area, Ida has also provided us with trusted referrals for professionals in the area (painters, septic, flooring, etc.). Ida advise made us the decision maker and made us feel confident that we knew what we were doing even though we are young and never bought before.
We will absolutely reach out to Ida when we decide to buy/sell again in the future.

Ida is the best. I was a first time buyer and very nervous. Ida was able to ease our fears because of her knowledge and the fact she walked us through every step of the process. She’s very thorough and helpful with suggestions and making sure you are set for your sale! With every question we had she was always there to answer them and make us feel sure in our choices.

We are first time sellers and we were trying to buy simultaneously. Ida put together a comprehensive plan with actionable tasks. Ida was always available anytime we had questions and had resources for every scenario. Very knowledgeable about any questions we had about this whole process from start to finish! All during a pandemic! If you are looking for results and an excellent experience I would HIGHLY recommned Ida Bear! Ida has become like family to us

We were so beyond blessed to have crossed paths with Ida. Our journey started out moving from Hawaii to WA. At first we tried to buy without any help and we found that to be extremely difficult. We had friends who had previously purchased a home in Washington so we reached out and they recommend Ida and we are so glad they did. Ida was quick to respond when we reached out. She started asking questions to get a feel on what we were looking for. She sent us tons of homes to look at. Ida was very knowledgeable especially when it came to the area. She was able to talk about the pros and con of area, schools, traffic, and list goes on. Any questions we asked she either had an answer or found it for us. She also was very helpful when it came to walking us through the process of buying a home. Because Ida is so responsive and helpful we were able to buy our home in a little over a month. Considering how competitive the market is right now that's almost a miracle. I would highly recommend Ida

Ida was simply the best! I’ve bought/sold six homes since 2002; that’s 10 total realtor transactions. By far Ida was the best realtor to work with. I would recommend her to my best friends, parents, anybody. And, when it’s time to rent or sell the home she helped us buy here in Bremerton, I will call her without hesitation. One example of her above and beyond - we bought a new build in July that would be finished in November. I was still stationed in San Diego during that time. Ida visited the build site once or twice a month and sent us a video of the progress. We didn’t ask her to do that but were very pleasantly surprised after receiving the first video. Then she sent another, and another, and another, until it was finished. Ida was beyond exceptional and a true professional. You may engage her services and rest assured you are in great hands!

First time home buyer here and Ida was Amazing!! Anytime we wanted to take a look or needed info on a property she would set it up or take a look for us. Also was great working with someone who didn’t pressure you into buying something you don’t really want. We were buying in a very competitive market but she coached us on some great tactics to get our offer accepted. It took us a few offers to finally get something but wouldn’t of changed a thing. Would highly recommend Ida to anyone looking to buy or sell.

I have chosen Ida three times now. She is an absolute Pro and her extensive network of contacts helped with a secondary sale of my investment property 3000 miles away. 10 out of 10 for sure.

I'm not one to write reviews but I would shout my recommendation for Ida Bear from the rooftops. Her knowledge of the market and attention to detail are second to none. More importantly, she really understands who you are and what it is you are looking for and deftly navigates around all impediments to make sure you get what you need, even if you are not sure what that something is. I literally cannot count the number of times she went way out of her way to make sure that something was done right. She spent countless hours searching, communicating, commuting, accessing her contacts, investigating, and getting to know me and my family. I really feel like I made a friend for life, heck, we're inviting her to our housewarming party, and I feel like she was honestly as happy that we found our dream home (thanks to her) as we were. Ida, thank you so much for everything. You deserve all the praise in the world. *Plus she SOLD our other home in record time

Ida Bear is second to none when it comes to Realtors. We have sold several properties with Ida
-She knows the area very well
-Amazing marketing
-Great team of stagers, photographers & vendors
-Friendly and personable
-Very informative
-Willing to listen to her Clients and work her magic to get them what they want.
Overall just a AWESOME Person and Realtor. You will not go wrong by choosing Ida Bear!

Ida was an absolute DREAM to work with. From our initial meeting, she provided a step by step plan to ensure our home was market ready. She gave us a detailed analysis of the market and helped us understand different strategies for pricing our home to sell. Communication was timely and helpful from day one to being under contract for the sale of our home. It all took less than a month and she was there with us answering any questions every step of the way. Would recommend her to anyone!

Ida helped my family find our dream home quickly and seamlessly. She was a joy to work with and I would absolutely recommend her to all of my family and friends.

Ida was great! Super helpful as we were selling from out of state. Helped me find workers to touch up the property and got it all staged and photographed for selling. She worked with us on figuring out pricing to meet our financial goals and we completed the whole selling process, including closing, in just 24 days

Writing this review for Ida is especially difficult & incredibly easy at the same time. Back in 2016 Ida helped my husband and I purchase our first home and it was an amazing experience. Ida is not your average real estate agent. She goes above & beyond EVERY SINGLE DAY. She comes with so much experience and isn’t afraid to be completely transparent no matter how it affects her bottom line. She genuinely just wants the best for every person she works with. This year we decided to sell the home Ida helped us buy and to no surprise Ida pulled this off without a hitch. She gave us step-by-step instructions on how to get our house ready and guided us to make sure that we got the best possible offer with the least amount of risk. Our home sold in no time. I will forever recommend Ida to every person I know looking to sell or buy a home. If you’re reading this review then I am urging you to PLEASE contact her. You will not only have the best real estate agent out there but a lifelong friend

I’ve worked with several agents in the area and Ida is absolutely the best out there. Not only is she responsive and dedicated to her clients, she is very knowledgeable about the market, types of homes, builders in the area, and even materials used in homes. She was very honest about a home when we asked her opinion and made sure we had every detail to ensure we didn’t pick a dud. She cares more about helping people than selling a home, and that is why we will utilize her when we sell our home and recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.
