I had worked with Tony before when he helped me purchase my first house. A couple of months later, I contacted him again, this time to help sell a property that my parents owned in Seattle. Our experience with the first agent we’d hired was very negative, and when I talked to Tony, I was happy to realize that his services weren’t limited to the Eastside, and he works within a 20-30 mile radius, so he agreed to help with the sale.
After looking at the house, Tony recommended several things we had to do to make the house more presentable. He took care of these improvements by referring a contractor he’s worked with before. The contractor gave me an estimate, took care of the repairs/improvements as promised, and about 10 days later, we put the property on the market again. In the 4 months that the property was on the market with the first agent, we’d received not one offer. After listing the property with Tony, we had multiple offers within a week, and accepted a full price offer shortly thereafter. The deal closed about 2 weeks after that. Overall, I can’t think of a more positive and painless experience. Throughout the entire process Tony was his usual self, following up with all the necessary paperwork, keeping us informed and updated on all the details, and accessible whenever needed, right up until the closing day.
His goal is to establish long term relationships with his clients. Whether you’re thinking about buying or selling, if you’re in the market and looking for an agent, I’d highly recommend him.
