The data for what happened with the market in February is out, and it mirrors what we’ve been seeing in our weekly data: more homes are hitting the market and taking longer to sell because buyer appetite isn’t as strong as in recent years. TLDR; Buyers have more selection, likely at a better price, which […]

Alicia went above and beyond in the buying process. She helped me understand the intricacies and specific challenges involved with buying a FOWR. Every email and conversation was clear and precise. Each step was outlined and expectations well managed. Alicia is well connected and well versed in this business and I felt complete confidence in her skills and knowledge.

We had a wonderful experience with Land as our realtor. He was extremely professional and worked diligently to find a home that met our needs. We’re relocating from the east coast and he provided extensive local knowledge and a level of service that couldn't be beat.

Collin is an fantastic agent, and I would recommend him to any of my close friends and acquaintances. As a first time buyer, I challenged by the complexity of buying a property, which followed with many questions and concerns. Collin completely answered all my question and guided me in every step of the purchase effectively. He is exceptionally detail oriented and makes unbiased evaluations to provide maximum visibility to clients. He values the time in closing, so he works closely with all members of the party and reacts very quickly. The knowledge in real estates and the dedication to provide the best purchase was a great asset as a buyer and eventually allowed the successful closing. I was extremely satisfied to have Collin as my agent.

Collin was really excellent and thorough throughout the entire process. We met him for the first time at a coffee shop, and moved very quickly from there. Collin was efficient, always available and always prompt with responses or meeting us in person. I highly recommend Collin and Redfin and will be happy to use them again for future home purchases!

Excellent and responsive. He helped identify critical issues with the property that we were able to address in the contingencies. I'd highly recommend Collin if you're looking for a thorough and thoughtful agent.

Collin was outstanding to work with! He was always quick to respond, supportive, and explained the buying process in a concise and logical manner. As I was buying the house on my own, he truly felt like a trusted sounding board and guide to help me navigate everything. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home.

I'm not sure I'd be in the house I'm in now -- or any house really -- if not for Matt's steady guidance and partnership throughout the home shopping, mortgage and signing processes. As a first-time homebuyer, I knew I wanted a lot of hand-holding and reassurance along the way, from the first step to the last. I had conversations with a couple of agents, but no one felt right. I just wasn't confident that I would get what I wanted and needed, and had to really consider what sort of compromises I would have to make regarding my list of agent requirements. Fortunately during my online searches I came across Matt's blog, dedicated to all things loft: urbnlvn.com. Immediately after signing up for the newsletter Matt reached out personally with a very welcoming note that gave me confidence right away that he was the agent for me. We exchanged a couple of detailed emails including a short list of properties I found interesting. From there, it was just a dream: Matt took the care to evaluate each of the properties and prepared a compilation of details for my review. He even plotted a course for us to meet and look at all the homes I selected. In short, he attended to all the details to ensure a flawless experience out of the gate. Not only did I not have to compromise on my ideal list of agent requirements, I got something even better: a friend whom I trusted to have my best interests top of mind. At no time was I made to feel awkward or ridiculous. All my questions were answered swiftly, respectfully, and honestly. Matt was not driven to push a higher-priced home on me, nor did he pressure me in any other way. I was able to take my time, consider my options, and explore alternatives. Ultimately I chose a new-construction townhouse in Beacon Hill. My 1st home. And I have Matt to thank.

He was great with me. Responsive, thoughtful, and he managed my quirks well... He also was great at referring me to other professionals (contractors, lenders, inspectors, etc.) who were really helpful as I navigated this purchase.

We have been looking for a few weeks and got beat out on a few properties we had put offers in. When Matt came in to show us this condo, we quickly wrote an offer and he was very quick to coordinate with the sellers agent and got our offer accepted the next day.

Working with Matt was fantastic - he was incredibly helpful, available and information while maintaining a low pressure ethic. I hope that every agent aspires to maintain relationships with their clients the way that Matt did with me! Thanks so much Matt!

As a real estate broker relocating to Seattle, I needed an agent that I could trust. Matt and his team went above and beyond to make our purchasing process a success.

Matt was very responsive and offered practical and constructive suggestions to enable closing on the property in a very short time.
