“Our criteria for a realtor was expertise in Gig Harbor, a proven track record of selling high-end homes & someone we could enjoy working with. Lindsay exceeded the criteria. Overall satisfaction = 10 Lindsay and her team were excellent and frequent communicators, always had a “can do” attitude and always went beyond expectations. She is smart and straight-forward in her approach. She was the master of the process and did everything to make the sale as easy for us as possible. We would have never made the closing date if she had not done all the work she and her team accomplished. The closing went without a hitch She invested in specialty magazines, sponsored a Benefit and employed other creative ideas. Her unprompted willingness to spend on marketing was valuable for us; she demonstrated she had “skin in the game”. Summary – A consummate professional, great communicator, excellent organizational skills, highly motivated and enjoyable to work with.”

“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.”
“Kristen Johnson was beyond knowledgable concerning the sale of my property. Always available and easy to communicate with. Always willing to assist with anything that came up during the process. I would strongly recommend her to any friends looking to buy or sell a property in our areas. And ifthe need arises she would be the first one I would call.”
“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.”
“Lian went well over and above based on my experience with past realtors. He identified contractors in the area, held them accountable, and ensured the property was made marketable. His tireless effort relieved me of the burden of having to be in-town to prepare the house for sale. I reside in Portland, OR and the house is in Lynnwood, WA. With all the work done I only visited the property one time prior to sale. Overall the best experience I have had with a realtor from any agency. Thanks.”
“As first-time home buyers, Andrey made sure we were well taken care of. He was very informative and communicative through every step of the way and continues to be. We will definitely use Andrey in our journeys to come! Highly recommend.”

“Mrs. Coutu was very thorough and knowledgeable on the latest real estate market...fought hard and was able to get the best deal for everyone involved on both sides of the home sale. I would definitely use or recommend Lara again in the future for realtor needs in the Pacific Northwest. Thank you for such a professional yet personal touch to the selling of my home. Her work was excellent with class, very refreshing and all satisfied here. Keep up the great work! ”
“Constantly kept me informed, answered questions, made helpful recommendations, assisted me with problems when I was not able to be there, and made adjustments to help me close. Highly recommend Agent Pronto and Rebecca Del Pozo! ”
