“Lian was an amazing realtor! What a great find! We are moving to Seattle from Baltimore, and we were able to easily connect with Lian and trusted him from the start. All of our showings had to be on FaceTime, and Lian did a wonderful job showing us everything he could from 3,000 miles away! We fell in love with a house, he helped us through the closing process, and we had confidence in him every step of the way. We will absolutely use Lian again if we move, but since he helped us find such a perfect house, we hopefully won't need to! I would absolutely recommend Lian to anyone!”

“My daughter and I enlisted Lindsay Jackman due to a strong local referral. Throughout the process of preparing the house for sale, strategizing, listing, and conversations with potential buyers; Lindsay was on it!! She handled every phase of the sale perfectly! We are very happy and satisfied with the outcome of the sale, and with our opportunity to work with a true professional in the Tacoma/Seattle area. I couldn't recommend Lindsay more highly!

“We just celebrated our first month since closing on our condo in Point Ruston, WA. Nikki was instrumental and amazing to work with throughout the entire purchase process - and somehow made the whole experience smooth and seamless. She was quick to respond to our many emails/texts and always answered our calls. Additionally, she made it a priority to give us frequent updates while working through the underwriting process and really worked hard to get us answers quickly to the many questions we had as they came up. I highly recommend Nikki for anyone wanting to work with a realtor who is professional, clearly cares about representing her clients, and will go above and beyond to help them through the entire home buying process.”

“Going into first time home buying you are invetiably going to hear from others who have had poor experiences, felt swindled, or never had a full grasp on the process. I of course had my reservations and weariness going into everything. Jim turned all of those things around within a matter of a few meetings/viewings. What I appreciated most is that he allowed me to set the tone of the process. I was trying to see as many places as I could as quick as possibly outside of working full time. I was in somewhat of a time crunch with a lease coming up soon. He was always available and was never pushy or felt false. Another thing I really appreciated was that he was also available after everything was said and done. I still had some questions about a handful of things and he would call me right away to provide advice. Highly recommend regardless of your stage in the process or timeline.”
