Buying and selling a home at the same time is very stressful for most families. So many numbers, processes and people involved. Tony and his team were 2 steps ahead in each step and thoroughly walked us through every aspect. Tony would respond to phone, email and text messages within minutes and made sure every question was answered. It made a very stressful time much more manageable!

FIRST, let me be clear in saying that Carol and I were EXTREMELY satisfied with every aspect of our association with you and your team! We would be hard pressed to think of something we would ask you to change!
Having lived in English Hill since 1986, I was quite familiar with the Tony Meier name and reputation of being the ‘expert’ regarding home sales and purchases within the community. When we were ready to relocate we quickly concluded we wanted to talk with Tony first. After visiting with him in our home on the same day we called we knew without question we wanted Tony Meier to handle our move, and we were not disappointed in any way. I recall saying that evening that he was quite the salesperson … to which he responded that he really did not think of himself as a ‘salesperson’ … but rather a facilitator. I thought, “Yeah, right, but you are a salesperson”. In retrospect, I agree with him … he FACILITATED every aspect of our sale, and purchase. I did not feel, even one time, that I was being ‘sold’ on any question or decision on which we consulted him, and we used his knowledge of how various decisions would impact our sale on a number of issues.
I’m not sure when, if ever, Tony sleeps, … he responded to every text, email or phone call within minutes, day or night, weekday or weekend and Carol and I used each of those methods on numerous occasions. Following the sale of our home, on which we had a an agreement for a full price offer within five days, Tony worked with us on the purchase of our new home with the same enthusiasm he showed for the sale.
An extremely important aspect of the sale/purchase is all the ‘paperwork’ (in our case virtually all handled electronically). Tony was there every step with explanations when needed. The agreement and the closing is rather complex, but in our deals was handled without issue … do in large measure to Tony and his team.
We could not have been happier … THANK YOU Tony, Alise and Wendi!

We appreciated you explaining the market to us so we wouldn’t have unrealistic expectations about selling our house that time of year. You also checked in with us frequently to see how things were going not only with the house we were selling but also with the one we were buying. Your suggestion of submitting a backup offer is what got us the new house.
Even though our old house was a difficult one to sell because of its unique floorplan, it sold just two weeks after it went on the market thanks to your marketing efforts.
On top of all that you really seemed to care about our well-being. That was a nice unexpected surprise.

My family and I engaged Tony based on a recommendation from another family member. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience from start to finish! Tony was fully engaged and supremely patient despite our decision to shift from looking at charming Craftsmen homes to realizing a modern PNW build was a better fit. He offered his insight into the pros and cons of each property without trying to steer us, and helped us make a decision we know we’ll be comfortable with for many years. Even after the initial offer was accepted, he worked with us to review and get comfortable with a potential issue, and never pressured us to close. Post-sale he and his team continue to provide recommendations and advice on making typical moving arrangements. Thanks again Tony!

We are very satisfied with your knowledge and experience Tony.
To be frank, you were the one who made us recognize the real value of our property in current market conditions. The same was validated by the Bank when the external valuation of the property also came higher than the listed price.
At all stages, you had a very special suggestions that helped us e.g. Transferring the utilities even before the closure, Getting the wire transfer done on priority, Never believing in Bank processes till they actually happen (Bank people initially said that they would close comfortably in advance but in reality closed just on time), Getting a concrete patio done to save future hassle, Getting Skylights done etc.
By the way, if I will need a seller’s agent in future I will surely go to Tony & team for such smart suggestions.

Preparations for the sale of our home, which happened in July 2019, began in November 2017.
Tony and Wendi were there with us every step of the way. We began with a thorough walkthrough, every room as well as the garage and the lot. Tony & Wendi provided guidance on focus areas as well as planned improvements & renovations to skip due to low return on investment.
They checked in regularly and were available to provide guidance every time we asked. And when we were debating pros/cons of going to market less than ready, or waiting until the following Spring/Summer, Tony provided the insight we needed re market trends and forecast.
Ultimately, we sold with 2 offers just 3 days after hitting the market, and we attribute much of that success to the experience, professionalism and excellent guidance that Tony, Wendi & Alise provided.

It was outstanding the level of service we received. Prompt answers to any questions we had gave us peace of mind that we were in good hands with a top level professional. Your years of experience helped us rest easy. Great job, thanks for all your help with the successful closing of our new house.

After 28 years in the English Hill neighborhood, raising 3 children to have families of their own and achieving retirement; Kim & I realized we needed to move close to our 6 grandchildren on the east coast. There is no doubt in our minds that Tony Meier and his team were instrumental in helping us to realize that dream by selling our home. From his first walk through with suggestions of how to best present our home until the final signatures on a full price offer after only 6 days on the market; he guided us at every step. No realtor knows this area like Tony or personally cares as much for his neighbors. Having not sold a home since 1991 we had many questions. He presented a complete market analysis & supported us all along the journey with immediate response texts, visits and excellent referrals. His philosophy of giving the seller a thorough home inspection to give assurance to potential buyers really directed our home preparation and resulted in very few corrective requests. He had many suggestions of craftsmen and home service providers so that we could get the house completely ready in little more than 4 weeks. Tony created such an amazing ‘fly through’ video of our home that we almost didn’t recognize it. Finally, the two-day open house was all that was needed and now a new family will grow up in a home and neighborhood filled with love. Tony is a gifted communicator, respects your time and gives everything to support his clients who ultimately become his friends. In fact, when we bought our new home, Tony helped us through questions on buying in NC. To top it all off, we have come to be friends with our home’s new owners and marvel at the way our neighborhood is beginning again where we started so long ago. Thanks Tony! You’ve got friends in NC!

Thank you for your assistance with a very quick sale, and managing everything through the escrow process. Between the sale of our home and the purchase of a new place, it was a challenge and your hard work made it all possible. Things could not have worked out better between the buyers and John and I. Many thanks!

Tony helped us with both buying and selling a home at the same time, and he was great to work with for both processes. We called him out of the blue one day to inquire about a home we liked, he responded immediately and within hours we had an accepted offer on the property. We then needed to sell our previous home, and Tony brought his experience and professionalism to help us prep the home, get it on the market at the right time, and sell for above list in less than a week. Tony is always responsive, helpful, and an absolute advocate for his clients throughout the process. He conducts himself with the utmost professionalism and made sure that both buying and selling transactions closed smoothly and on time. We would definitely recommend Tony & his team for your real estate needs.

Tony and his team were a real joy to work with throughout the whole process of listing, selling, and closing of our house. Tony remained patient and understanding through the many times of being ready, then not being ready to sell. Third time was the charm! Tony and staff were always available to answer any questions or concerns and calm the nerves. Thanks Tony and Team!

Tony Meier and his team did a great job in representing me especially considering I had moved to the other side of the nation. I’m glad to have worked with him and all the support and help he gave during the sale. It made it easy and painless.

Tony’s knowledge base about real estate in general is outstanding. He helped us buy our new house at a good price for us and he seemed to have a contact to fix any problem we needed to address in our new house. We felt Tony went above and beyond to call a roof guy for us to get a roof replacement during a meeting about selling our house. When selling our house, he followed the market closely and was able to use a strategy that attracted multiple bids. We accepted an offer well over asking price, which was much more than we had hoped for!

I have known Tony for a number of years now and have always found him to be an amazing resource for references and information on the housing scene. This was the first time I have used Tony and his team to purchase a house.Tony and his team made the entire process incredibly easy. Tony has a great depth of knowledge that really shows when purchasing a home. My purchase had no issues because Tony makes sure all the bases are covered. His team kept me informed during the buying process. It was incredibly smooth.

Tony and his team were a joy to work with during our home purchase. My wife and I had been frequenting open houses and when we found something we wanted to put an offer on we needed to find a realtor fast. Through a recommendation from a friend we found Tony and explained our situation. Him and his team were quick to jump on the ball by scheduling a private showing, providing advice on the market value, getting us a copy of the inspection, and quickly assisting us with getting a strong offer put together.
During negotiations Tony helped us come to an agreement with the seller which included a custom clause in the contract allowing the seller to accept our offer while keeping the purchase price below ask.
Once we were under contract, Tony and his team stayed on top of deadlines and made sure we were on top of everything. Furthermore, he helped us out on a personal level by checking in to make sure our experience with buying a home was easy and within our comfort level. We were content with the whole process, knowing we were in good hands.
Tony maintains a list of recommended businesses for all home related thing and this has really helped us out when looking for contractors to do work on our property. While we were under contract, Tony was even able to get us scheduled with an interior contractor to paint the home and replace the carpet before we moved in.
To this day, Tony remains in contact with us and checks in periodically.

Tony & Alise set the standard for a positive buying experience. I never felt like they were trying to sell me a home, they were trying to find me MY home. As a 1st time buyer, I really felt like they were on my side, they were the first to show me what was comparatively worse/better with homes we looked at. This was my first time working with Tony & AlIse, but it won’t be my last.

Your market evaluation process was very helpful. Even though we went out at a higher price it turns out that the number you predicted was exactly right. Your help in preparing the house and your regular communication was very helpful through a changing housing market.
All in all you made what can be a difficult and disruptive situation very smooth and it was appreciated.
You were very clear about each step and that helped us know what to expect at each phase of the selling and closing.
We would be happy to recommend you any time.

Having moved internationally across the Atlantic and across the USA four times, we have dealt with a number of real estate agents and none measure up to Tony Meier’s thoroughness and professionalism from start to finish. His preparation, use of the media, and up to date knowledge of the market are extraordinary!
We have worked with Tony over several years as we contemplated where to move. Finally, we settled on a great home in Trilogy. Tony went to work securing the home for us and managed to get an offer accepted that was contingent on the sale of our home, which is feat for our sellers’ market. We were amazed that 3 days later our home was on the market. After 4 days on the market, Tony generated 4 offers on our home with a finale sale of 12% over the asking price. Closing was swift and we are now in our new home. Should we choose to sell a house in the future there would be only one option for our real estate agent, Tony Meier.

Tony and team helped us buy our first home and six years later, helped us sell our first home. We only wish we could bring him with us to Arizona! Moving is hard and Tony was right there with us every step of the way and is still offering his support even weeks after the move. Tony’s incredible photography skills made our home look bigger and better than I could have ever imagined. He responds to questions with patience and promptness (almost always within minutes). He gives great advice not just from his vast real estate experience, but he always backs it up with the facts and research he has customized for your specific needs. No matter what challenges arise, he’s there with a solution and a smile. Tony helped us maximize our investment and minimize our stress.

Thank you again for your assistance with the sale of our home. After 24 years of residence in our home, you and your team performed in a very professional, extremely prepared manner. You came highly recommended by numerous past clients that we were acquaintances with. Your familiarity with the market in our local area provided us with great insight in making our decision and promoting a solid strategy from the inception of the sale to the closing. I greatly appreciated your follow up to questions, concerns and making sure that all procedures were completed by all involved in a timely fashion, not just your teams items you were responsible for. We look forward to recommending you to our friends and acquaintances.

It was great experience working with Tony to sell our house. Tony impressed us from our first meeting with a comprehensive presentation of his experience in real estate as well as his analysis of market data and his first hand data selling/buying homes. His sensitivity of market trend turned our home from no showing in first few days of listing to multi offers in a week, his negotiation improved those offers to be surprisingly good, and his risk/return analysis helped us taking the strongest and safest offer that closed on time, which is critical for my family when we are moving out of state before close. I’d say the whole process is not super smooth (given the market situation) but Tony helped us along the way and got the best result out of each step, which is something only super experienced real estate agent like Tony can do so well. We highly recommend Tony if you are considering selling your home, and we believe you will be impressed by the outcome too.

We first met with Tony in the fall of 2017. He was referred to us by a coworker of my wife. He was one of three agents that we contacted prior to listing our house. Our neighborhood in Kirkland has had a number of homes sold and tore down and replaced with million plus dollar homes and we received a postcards weekly offering quick cash to do the same so we looked into that possibility as well.
When Tony came to our house we told him our plan was to list our home in the fall of 2018 because we were having a house built that would not be done until then, as we did with the other agents we contacted but Tony explained the benefit of selling the house as is or making cosmetic improvement or making significant upgrades to our 55 year old house and finally how to maximize our sale by doing the upgrades and listing our house in the early spring.
My wife and I talked it over and weighed the pros and cons and after the first of the year we met with Tony again and told him we had decided to list our home when we returned from vacation in mid-April. We also asked him which upgrades would bring us the best return. He walked through the house and not only made the recommendations but also where we could get products for the best value. He also suggested that we list it before we left on vacation so we could maximize showings.
I did a lot of the work on my own and as I was nearing the deadline Tony would stop by not only to check on my progress but when needed he roll up his sleeves and give me a hand.
In the end I feel we got the absolute best price for our house because of Tony’s hard work and guidance. We have already recommended Tony to a couple of friends. One of which has already listed and sold their house through Tony. Thank you Tony and Team.

Selling my first property was very quick and painless for me. Tony has walked me through all the process: what need to be done, and what would happen along the way. I took Tony’s advice on home improvement and the condo looks gorgeous. The condo was sold in very short period. Tony and his team did an outstanding job. They followed-up with me and keep me posted on all transactions throughout closing. I would definitely recommend Tony to anyone.

When we first began to consider selling our townhouse and buying a new home, we were not convinced that it was possible to achieve everything we had hoped for in selling our home and finding a new one that met our high expectations. Tony invested time and energy into our family and we can honestly say that we have found our dream home and neighborhood.
When we first set up a time to meet with Tony, we were immediately impressed with the wealth of knowledge that he brought to the meeting. He treated us with respect and he came prepared with evidence to help us navigate all the tough questions. Tony made us feel optimistic.
We decided to try to find a home off market by reaching out to potential sellers. Tony didn’t hesitate again to invest time and resources into our family and made us feel like we were the only ones he was taking care of (even though we knew that wasn’t true). When a potential seller responded we were thrilled and we also knew that it was Tony’s impeccable reputation that also drew in that seller. After navigating the buying process and getting over a few hurdles, we continued to feel confident that we could call or message him at any point and he would calmly and expertly help us through the process.
When it came to selling our current home, Tony marketed our home beautifully and helped turn what could have been a challenging period of showing our home to a simple and relatively painless experience! Our home sold in the timeline we hoped for and at our ideal price. Tony fought ferociously for us and even at the eleventh hour was hustling to get us the best price for our home. I imagine many other agents would have just settled, but Tony wanted the best for us and he didn’t stop until he achieved it.
We are so thankful for his knowledge and support. We know we absolutely would not be in our new dream house and neighborhood without him!

Within the first few minute after we walked into Tony’s office for the first time, we were convinced fully that he was going to be our agent, three weeks from then it turned out to be the best decision we had made.
Tony initially empowered us being first time buyers to explore our options given our preferences and provided ample guidance on how to start. Even though he knew that our requirements and budget were not on the same plane he was patient with us and supported us in our search, accompanying and educating us as we started visiting properties. Once we got an understanding of what we needed and came to terms with the corresponding cost, he further helped us re-optimize our search zones and from there we quickly found a home that we loved and Tony efficiently navigated the purchase process and we closed without a bidding war in this highly competitive market in Sammamish WA!
Tony is exceptional at what he does, very friendly and professional. We would definitely recommend Tony to our friends, you will not go wrong if you decide to go with him!

Staging: Tony gave us clear pointers on how to get the house ready for the sale, and which staging actions had the biggest impact on raising buyers interest. The feedback was helpful and helped us get the house ready well in advance of the first open house and picture day.
Marketing: The pictures were great, and the aerial video really helped get a get overview of the house and its surroundings. The marketing page was well made, informative and showcased the home in a very positive way
Pricing and selling: We followed Tony’s advice, and he knows the market well. In the end we got well over the asking price, even exceeding our expectations. Market is hot, so we got quite a few offers despite house being on the market only relatively short time, again kudos to Tony understanding the market dynamics so well. The viewings and open houses were painless and easy too, and Tony was great in promoting the house to potential sellers and addressing all inquiries they may have had. Closing was easy too, and Tony explained all the needed paperwork and what happens after that.
Summary: Selling a house is quite a process, especially if you don’t do it frequently. Tony was great in guiding us through the process and explaining the steps. The house sold quickly and we got a great price for it, thanks to Tony’s knowledge and approach to the selling process. Thank you Tony, if we ever sell a house again we’ll be in touch.

This was our third transaction with Tony and we remain impressed. Here are some of the points that we felt really stood out:
Staging: Tony & Wendi’s advice was spot on when it came to selling our first home. The same was true this time! The walk throughs and advice really made our property shine.
Marketing: Both times, our marketing was first class! Today that includes spectacular drone & still photography, HD video tour, pre-inspections, among other items, which are showcased on the website they created just for our home.
Pricing & Negotiations: Our first sale was in a down market and we received 3 offers, selling our home for more than the list price. This time, the market favored a seller. We listened to Tony’s advice and priced our home to attract an auction. In doing so, Tony was able to generate 9 offers for our condo and sold it WELL BEYOND OUR WILDEST DREAMS!
The Process: Because of the team surrounding Tony, we were kept updated almost daily on all aspects of the process. Our questions were answered promptly and Alise was a delight to work with! We always felt our questions and concerns were a high priority to them.
In closing, we were very pleased with our experience and never hesitate to refer the Team to our friends. Tony & Team remains the benchmark that we judge other agents by.

We used Tony as our real estate agent to sell our English Hill home. The process could not have been any easier. Tony was a trusted advisor during the entire listing and sales process. We needed to do extensive cosmetic updates to our house prior to listing. Tony recommended several contractors who were able to do the updates to our house prior to the sale. Tony walked us through every step of the sales process and answered all our questions as they arose. Most importantly, his outstanding marketing generated multiple offers and sold our home for significantly more than we dreamed of! We would definitely use Tony in the future

Tony is a true professional. I believe his extensive knowledge in the local market, relationship with other real estate professionals and his strong negotiation skill helped me to sell my place above listing price in a week. Not to mention, he and his wonderful assistant Alise made the entire process as stress free as possible–they were on top of all the paperwork and closing dates. All of my questions (no matter how small) were answered promptly. I’m really glad that I made the choice to have Tony as my listing agent and I truly believe his knowledge and skill were the main reasons for my successful and smooth home selling transaction. Thank you Tony!

We greatly appreciated the early engagement, strategy on what to repair, prioritizations, etc. that helped us prepare for the eventual sale. While some agents would inject a certain amount of pressure to get to market as quickly as possible, Tony and Wendi were engaged, creative and realistic in helping us map the road ahead. The team exuded confidence and knowledge on the market and full sales process and communicated with us regularly, making Dani and I feel like we were well covered as we progressed to the final sale. The whole experience was positive, invigorating and pretty stress free.

Our experience has been great, and we did not feel like there were any shortcomings in the service. It was a really great home buying experience for us. This being our first home purchase, we were very nervous about the whole process as such, but it was very comforting to know that Tony was available for a chat immediately. Tony’s knowledge and insights were not just limited to the transaction, but he also shared his knowledge of the things we had to look out for in terms of maintenance and making the home space more usable.

Tony, you were the perfect choice of an agent for the sale of the condo. You demonstrated knowledge, professionalism, transparency, and care in regard to the listing and sale. Your communication kept us “in the know” throughout the process. Not only did you have an initial meeting with us to see the condo, you met us at the condo a couple of times throughout the remodel process, which we know was nothing you “had to do.” We appreciate the remodel recommendations you gave us, including the one for cabinets and countertops, of which we were pleased with the results. We can not say enough about the video you made and the pictures you took showcasing all of the remodeled parts of the home. Your direction as when to complete the remodels, have an inspection, list the condo, have an open house, etc. were spot on. The results of your collaboration with us resulted in a smooth sale, that we were pleased was above asking price. The feared paperwork process was surprisingly just the opposite thanks to your time and explanations. We will be sure to recommend you to our family or friends who may be selling in the future.

I had a great home buying experience with you! I appreciate your excellent negotiating skills with Jeanette. I still can’t believe I got the exact condo I wanted at an unbelievable price! You definitely went the extra yard to secure this condo for me!! I especially appreciate all of your advice and continued support throughout the home buying process. It meant alot to me :):)
I want to also point out that Alise was a VERY important part of my wonderful home buying experience as well. She absolutely had my back every single step of the way! She answered my emails immediately, every single question was answered. She continually kept me in the loop throughout this whole process, and even now! She kept BofA on their toes, helping to assure my condo would close on time 🙂 which of course it did! She was a wonderful person to work with, who obviously enjoys her job and is extremely good at it! You are very fortunate to have her on your team!

We made the right choice in selecting Tony Meier, to sell our English Hill home.

Not sure where to start. You have exceeded every expectation I had. Your honesty, professionalism, and guidance were extremely helpful. Especially, that I live in California away from my Redmond home. You have provided me with exceptional guidance in preparing the house, finding expert contractors that resulted in a complete upgrade of the house at a reasonable price. I have felt completely supported along the way. Thank you very much; certainly, your assistant Alise was fantastic. As a professional myself, I truly enjoyed working with a true professional. Five Stars would not be good enough.

When it came time to select a real estate professional to represent us in the sale of our first home, Tony Meier immediately came to mind. In our eyes, no one knew the English Hill market quite like him. He came to our first meeting prepared with fact-based analytics of selling strategies that worked for our area. He outlined a marketing plan that was executed to his word and produced the results we were after. Tony comes armed with a toolkit of real estate support professionals. From inspectors, to appraisers, to his right-hand assistant, every professional he recommended surpassed our expectations. And his camera skills! We received more praise on the presentation of photography and videography to showcase our home. When we told people that Tony handles it all himself, they were blown away! Thank you, Tony and team, for easing our first-time home-selling jitters. We were in great hands with you!

Communication was spot on, I never felt like I was waiting for a phone call or had any lingering questions throughout the process. Tony’s process was laid out and understood clearly.

I would highly recommend him as an agent.

Dear Tony:
I want to thank you for the amazing, no-hassel job and exceptional work you did for me on the sale of my triplex apartment building in Seattle. You managed to make more money for me than the initial sales price even though the building never actually went on the market! That’s some kind of magic!
The process was so easy with you taking care of the details and interacting with the buyer on my behalf. This is the 4th sale you have handled for me and my husband and you have never disappointed. Your care and advice have been invaluable to us.
Thank you again.

We hired Tony and his team to list our Redmond home for sale and we are absolutely blown away with his service, expertise and the outcome. In the beginning, we explored the options of selling our home ourselves or using a discount broker. After researching what it would take to sell the home on our own we decided to meet with a few brokers, including a discount broker and Tony to compare. After meeting with Tony and Wendi we knew we had to list with them, Tony’s knowledge, negotiation skills and attentiveness far surpassed any of the other agents we met with.
When it came time to prepare the house for sale, Tony knew exactly what to have me improve and what wasn’t needed. He kept me from over thinking and over spending. Tony referred us to a contractor who did an awesome job and we knew we could trust!
We appreciate Tony and Wendi always being there when we needed advice or help. His team was consistently responsive throughout the entire process, from listing the home to the close of the sale. Any issues that came up were handled swiftly and with clear communication.
We are ecstatic with the service provided by Tony and his team! We will be referring Tony to all our friends and family.

I really appreciated Tony’s preparation and presentation of our home to ensure we were able to get the most interest and best sale price. He was always available to answer questions and kept all necessary parties informed of developments or changes. Tony made a very stressful process seem easy and was wonderful to work with. Our home sold in no-time for above asking price and with Tony’s help, even unexpected circumstances were dealt with quickly and with thorough explanation. Tony was patient with my many questions and was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Tony to anyone looking to sell their home.

We worked with Tony after a coworker recommended him. We’ve had him sell 2 properties for us and he has also helped us find 2 properties to purchase. He has been completely professional and amazing every time we have worked with him. I highly recommend his services!

Dear Tony,
You know your business!
My Mom and I made the right decision when we decided to hire you to list her Redmond house to sell. Although we did interview a few other realtors including Redfin, you definitely were more knowledgeable and experienced in the English Hill area and the benefits of your system of optimizing negotiations in a Seller’s market were obvious and proven.
Your referrals for the wide range of service providers we needed (house cleaners, window cleaners, repairman, movers, etc.) were invaluable and certainly saved us time and headaches especially since we were moving my Mom and her possessions across country and the house would be vacant. When I ran into any issues we really appreciated that you jumped on the phone to see if you could move things along or help resolve any issues without being asked.
We appreciated your professionalism and your consistent responsiveness throughout the entire process from the beginning when we scheduled an appointment to interview you, to preparing the house that my Mom had lived in for more than 25 years, to putting it on the market and presenting it at its best, to reviewing and negotiating the offers, to answering all our questions, to follow up and follow through on the various things that had to happen to actually close escrow and following up after escrow closed.
Even in a hot Seller’s market, I think we were all shocked (but pleasantly surprised) at the sale price. Credit does go to you for knowing how to market the property and to optimize the negotiations to get the best outcome for your client and the follow through to close the deal. Your experience, hard work, consistent and tireless efforts, bag of honed skills, and focus, served us exceptionally well. I am a very detailed person and genuinely appreciated your patience and attitude taking the time to always efficiently address any issues, concerns and questions I had throughout the entire process.
Thank you for everything you did to lighten the load during a very stressful time in both my Mom’s and my life and your contributions to an exceptional outcome she and I didn’t even imagine.
Sincerely,
Karen Chamberlain and Grace Francis-Lau

Tony, was a recommendation from a trusted friend. He had his own method of doing things that were different from the other realtors we had interviewed (upfront inspections, minimal or no open houses etc..) but he took the time to explain his reasoning. With the raving reviews, we decided to put our trust in him and his system. It worked out great! We sold for almost 10% over list in 5 days. Tony was very confident, assertive, prompt, and professional. We highly recommend Tony and his team to others sellers!

Sold in Duvall – June 2017
As residents in the English Hill neighborhood, we were familiar with Tony and his team because of his excellent and professional marketing. When we decided to sell our home, we felt confident that the “smart” decision would be to hire Tony. He has the experience and professionalism we were looking for in an agent, but, most importantly, he understands the English Hill neighborhood better than any other agent. It just seems silly to us to even waste our time considering other agents, when the English Hill neighborhood is lucky enough to have a seasoned professional living and working so closely in the English Hill community. And the results are obvious. Tony’s clients have more and higher offers on average than English Hill clients who hire an agent not as well-versed with the neighborhood.
We sold our home when the market was “very hot,” and we weighed all of our options – for sale by owner, listing with an agent who sells for 1% commission, etc., but, we understand that Tony would be able to provide us with professional representation – photos, video, promotion with other agents/prospective buyers, and, what was so critical to us, the negotiations and strategy behind getting us the best offer. After 4 days on the market we had 10 offers and closed at $150,000 over asking price! We had a very good experience working with Tony. He was efficient, professional, and business-savvy. We recommend Tony Meier, especially to neighbors in the English Hill Community.

You won’t believe how happy we are with the recent blast success you have helped to secure in our recent home sale! Everything happened smooth and on schedule throughout the process. Tony explained the process and the grand plan before and during the marketing campaign and the end result was a blast. Our house sold within a week and that’s with a big mark up. We couldn’t be happier about the whole process and would definitely recommend Tony’s service and expertise. I’m really happy to have you on our team in our home sales. Thanks again for your help.

Tony and his staff were amazing to work with. From the beginning he set clear expectations for the selling process. His organization, communication and attention to detail are second to none. We were very pleased with the process and outcome for the sale of our home. We will continue to recommend Tony to anyone looking for a great agent! Thanks again.

Sold in Kirkland – April 2017
Team Meier exceeded our expectations. We planned the sale of our house over a year period and Tony was there to provide regular market updates and help us identify the optimal time to list our home. Tony’s use of data to paint the picture of the market and how to approach pricing provided a methodical approach which appealed to our analytical nature.
Once we were ready to list, he and Wendi provided us several suggestions for staging our home and were available to field questions that we had as we prepared to list.
When we reviewed our amazing 23 offers, he had done the analysis and identified the top contenders for our review making the process simple.
We couldn’t be happier with the service provided and the outcome of our listing.

After talking with you after you had been referred I knew I had full confidence in you.
You were very professional as well as organized all the way through.

Sold in Woodinville – May 2017
I’ve known Tony and Wendi for years, so when it came time to sell our home I knew they were the team to go to.
The professional video home tour, beautiful photos and brochures were amazing. We couldn’t believe how many potential buyers came to the open houses.
In less than a week, we had 8 offers! We sold for more than asking, and we couldn’t be happier.
If you are looking for an expert in the real estate market, look no further.
Thank you Tony and Wendi!

**This includes all homes in the Sunrise feeder pattern, including all sizes, on lots less than 15,000 square feet.
Earlier this year we had to sell my brothers’ home and move him to an assisted living facility. We were very fortunate that my brother remembered the name Tony Meier. He was a neighbor of my brothers’ and was employed by Windermere Real Estate.
From our first meeting with Tony we were impressed with his professionalism and knowledge. He took time to explain the real estate trends in the area and what we could expect from his service.
He guided us through the staging and provided excellent reference for the various services we required to get the house ready for sale. He remained in constant touch with updates and recommendations. We listed the house and followed his lead in reviewing offers. Six days later we chose the prospective buyer and began the paper work leading to closing.
During the entire selling process Tony was available to answer questions and make recommendations in dealing with the closing agencies. We never felt that we were alone during these proceedings.
We unequivocally recommend Tony Meier and his staff for any real estate needs that you may have.
Thank you Tony and staff. You made us feel stress free and comfortable with your positive and caring attitude.
George and Mary Dammeyer
Deciding to sell a home can be stressful and then finding the right agent to guide you through the process can be equally as stressful. Tony came recommended to us by close friends who had just sold their property through Tony. The first time Tony came to our home he was completely prepared with a comprehensive portfolio of homes and properties both listed and sold in our area. He gave us a full rundown of how to maximize our home to sell both quickly and for the best price. He put together a beautiful video presentation of our home which made the home look warm and inviting. Throughout the entire process Tony was extremely professional; he kept us constantly updated on the status of the sale and yet very respectful of our privacy at the same time. Tony held an open house the first weekend on the market and by the following Tuesday we had multiple offers well over the asking price. We put our trust in Tony and never regretted the decision. I would use Tony’s services again in a heartbeat and will recommend him to friends and family.
Thank You Tony,
Steven and Helene Camara
Tony did an excellent job in marketing our home. The professional video home tour, photos, and brochures drew the attention of many potential buyers, resulting in 9 offers on our home, and a sale well above our asking price. Specializing in the English Hill neighborhood, Tony is quite knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to deal with! I highly recommend Tony as your real estate expert.
Todd and Kim Lindstrom – Sold in Redmond
Tony recently helped us sell our Woodinville area home, and we have been impressed with his service throughout the entire process. We had been in our house for over 20 years, and decided to down-size. A friend recommended Tony to us, and we’re very happy that he did. Rather than write a long run-on paragraph, I’m going to just provide a list of points that stood out as positives during a time that is going to be hectic and sometimes stressful no matter how smoothly it proceeds.
From the initial phone contact and home visit, and throughout, Tony has been on-time, quick to respond to questions/concerns, and personable.
– Phone calls were answered or a return call made within minutes.
– Tony helped us decide how to prepare the house prior to listing. He didn’t sugar-coat anything, and we followed his advice. We’re glad that we did.
– Tony explained his view of the current real estate market, and his thoughts on the best way to market our home. Looking back, now that the home has sold, I can say that everything he told us was correct.
– We were initially skeptical of the pre-listing home inspection, but I now think it played a big part in the sale of our house.
– The marketing/listing information/photographs package that Tony put together for the house was fantastic.
– Ask him about the drone.
– Some timeline adjustments had to be made during the closing, and Tony kept us informed throughout. He also monitored the process and made sure that all the paperwork was promptly taken care of.
We had multiple offers on our home, and Tony helped us sort through them all. We ended up selling for a significant amount over our asking price. We credit Tony with this result, and would definitely recommend him to anyone who is planning on selling their home.
Tim and Lois Adams – Sold in Woodinville – 2016
I want to thank you for coming through for us once again. We knew trusting you a second time, to sell a house for us was the right decision.

Working with Tony was a pleasure from the start. We were referred to Tony and his team by a good friend who had a very positive experience in selling their house in Bothell area. Since we had moved out of Bothell, a few years ago, my property was under rent and managed by my Property Manager. Tony presented his case very well and in spite of existing relationship with my Property Manager – who was also interested in bringing our house to Market, I decided to go along with Tony and I am very happy that I made that decision. Tony was very professional in managing transition of my property from the Property Manager and suggested improvements on the property that were for the better. I appreciate the attention to detail that Tony, put into marketing the house, with the use of quality drone photography and of personal walk through video of the house for potential buyers. Being out of state, with a constant travelling job – Tony was very good at working with my crazy schedule. Tony has good sense and awareness of the EastSide market was very informative about the market conditions. Post the selection of buyer, Tony kept me informed and updated and was there to answer any queries that I had. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience and we were able to sell our house, with little to no glitches. I will whole-heartedly recommend Tony to any of my friends.
Dhaval Panchal and Lincy George –
We were pleased with your service, especially with the following: *Highly responsive to frequent questions we made. *Professionally managed the selling process with detailed statistics and trends on the weekly market change, which helped a lot in making quick and rational decisions on price adjustments and other steps to increase the house attractiveness. *Open to our requests such as holding an “open house”. *Proactive by constructing a “broker opening” to gather feedback and help sell better and faster. *Used tools that many agents do not use such as a dedicated web site and a video. They were done professionally. We wish you and your family luck and happiness in the future, and thank you again for your service.,
Galit & Ziv Mador – Sold in Redmond – 2010
Our experience with Tony Meier as our real estate agent was extraordinary. our first meeting to our last, Tony epitomized professionalism, character and honest straight talk. carefully laid out marketing strategy for our home was executed with precision and creativity.I had family members from the Midwest who were selling their home at the same time as we were and they couldn’t believe our realtor provided us with a dedicated website, professionally produced video and social networking buzz… when all they were working with was a flyer on their front porch. Patrick and I felt like we were in the best hands possible to sell our home. ’s knowledge and expertise resulted in our home selling in 2 days with multiple offers. our years of buying and selling homes, Tony Meier is the best we have ever worked with – responsive, professional, creative, honest and results driven. Thank you for your excellence, Tony and for exceeding our expectations on the sale of our home.
Patrick & Kelli Hildebrand – Sold in Redmond – 2011
We would not hesitate to recommend Tony Meier for someone’s real estate needs. He was respectful, informative and considerate in leading us through the process of selling our home. We appreciated his personal attention to our own needs, as well as directing us towards making sound decisions in closing the sale
John & Christine Groen – Sold in Redmond – 2008
Initially, we selected Tony Meier as our listing agent for our English Hill home because he had positioned himself as a specialist in the English Hill area through his website and marketing materials. After working with him, we feel that he would be the right agent to hire in any neighborhood in any market! We sold our home in 5 days in a soft market.
Tony has created a very effective formula for selling real estate from beginning to end. He delivered a comprehensive, high quality marketing plan in a short amount of time that showcased our house so well we felt enticed to buy it! He utilizes all of the resources Windermere provides and has enhanced that info with additional systems he has developed on his own.
Tony is truly a real estate Professional and will be our trusted realtor to go to for any of our needs in the future. You will not find an agent who will work harder for you than Tony Meier. Thank you, Tony, for your great work!
Tari and Jeff Lilly – Sold in Redmond – 2007
It is with great pleasure that I recommend Tony Meier. We used Tony to sell our house in Mount Claire Estates and purchase our current house. Tony has always displayed a high degree of integrity, responsibility, and ambition. He is definitely a leader in the real estate field. We found that he was very knowledgeable on current market conditions and was able to market our home at a difficult time in a slowing market. Tony would be an asset to anyone trying to sell or purchase a house, and I am happy to give him my wholehearted endorsement.
Doug & Debbie Bair – Sold and Purchased in Redmond – 2007
This was our first experience working with Tony! We were looking to buy exclusivelythe English Hill area, and knew Tony was very knowledgeable about the neighborhood.
Tony was a joy to work with. In all transactionshe was organized, thorough, and friendly. He was very hands off as we toured houses, allowing us to make our own decision aboutproperty, which we really appreciated. In the past we have dealt with pushy realtors. He guided us through the offer process and shared his knowledge & viewpoint which helpedwith our decision process.
He was always quick in returning our calls and in setting up tours, even same day. We absolutely recommend Tony to anybody looking to buy or sell a home.
Amy & Ryan Bendotti – Purchased in Redmond – 2009
We recently contracted Tony to sell our house and help us locate a new property for purchase. the first conversation with Tony I made a light hearted comment that we wanted what I’m sure most people want when they are selling a home and that is to sell fast and sell high.Well, we sold our house in 10 days for a great price and in a buyers market!
Tony is a solid Real Estate professional with over 20 years experience. He has excellent knowledge of the market, understanding of preparing a home for sale, excellent organizational skills and solid communications with us and agents that had clients interested in our property. the buying process he was available almost immediately for property viewing and let us wander at our leisure and make our own decisions about each property. He also has excellent photography skills and took all of the property pictures for our home sale which turned out equal to or better than most other home sale photography.
Tony is very professional, fun to work with, and felt like a long time friend almost from the first meeting. He will stay with you throughout the entire process and beyond. I highly recommend Tony if you are considering selling and/or purchasing a home in the future.You won’t be sorry.

Thanks for giving us the time and attention to help us with every question, every phone call and every meeting. Your state-or-the-art marketing covered every base.

Tony’s professionalism and many years of experience is important in the best of times but crucial in the current soft market.I encourage anybody who is selling their home to work with Tony.
Henrik Rodshagen – Sold in Redmond – 2010
With Tony as our guide the home selling and purchase process we experienced clean, crisp, expedient and patient counsel for each and every question that arose along the way. His expert advice and network of resources for preparation, staging and marketing of our property led to a rapid sale with no hassle. Throughout our purchase experience he greatly simplified the maze of writing up the offer, home inspection, final negotiations and finalizing property closing. As a dedicated professional working for your interests, Tony defines a level service that all of us could stand to learn from.Thanks Tony!
Ned & Jacquelyn Higgins – Purchased and Sold In Redmond – 2011
Selling a home is as stressful and hectic a time as you can ask for, but thanks to Tony, the sale of our home went more smoothly than we could have imagined! Tony’s knowledge, demeanor and communication kept us informed and at ease throughout the process. No detail went unchecked. Tony is a true professional.
Thanks!
-Chan and Cynthia Sarinyamas
This is a not a sellers market. As a seller agent, it’s important that he has a vision on how the market goes so he can help the seller to set a price to sell. Tony watches the market and knows the neighborhood really well. He advised me on setting a price that was appealing to the buyer and at the same time, I could make as much profit as possible. When we had different perspectives, he could work with me effectively so we understood each other and reached an agreement. His photo skill and tools are great. The internet tour he made for my house was a pleasure to watch. I would highly recommend Tony to my friends as a seller agent.
Hsuan-hua Chang – Sold in Redmond – 2007
We were completely satisfied with Tony’s service. I particularly appreciated that Tony was willing to work with us, since we live in Japan. This meant that all of the documents had to be signed electronically and he was able to make this process work well and patiently explain when we did not understand. He responded to all of our inquiries in a timely and thoroughly professional way. It was a pleasure to work with him.
Diane Musselwhite and Hikaru Ogawa – Sold in Seattle – 2016
We have used several agents over the past few years for Real Estate transactions and were always left in the end with questions left unanswered and a lot to be desired in terms of the “value add” these agents were able to provide. We had our house listed for a couple of months and it did not sell even in an extremely seller friendly Seattle market. That’s when we interviewed Tony.
We were extremely impressed by the amount of “home work” he showed he had done prior to meeting with us for the first time. We were very pleasantly surprised that he took so much time to gather all the data and presented us a through analysis of the market, the area, and our property. We decided to put our complete faith in him, and he went above and beyond our expectations in every way, all the way through! He did a great job explaining the strategy, helped us with identifying some minor things we could do to make our property more marketable. He went out of his way to get us some trustworthy contractors to do the repair work, which he was also able to supervise, with us being out of state already.
Thanks to a very smart sale strategy from him, we got multiple offers on our property within four days. He continued to work with us to review offers, weigh the pros and cons of each offer, and helping us make the right decision to choose an offer. We had originally thought that we would have to sell the property at a considerable loss, after we failed to sell it using the previous agent. However, Tony planning and strategy helped us sell it for $40k above the asking price!
Tony is hands down the best agent we have ever come across and we feel very fortunate that we found him to sell our property. We can’t think of a single thing that Tony did not do or could have done a better job of with respect to our transaction. Without any hesitation, we recommend him to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, honest, and experienced agent, who knows the market inside out and can definitely help you achieve your goal using the right strategy
Muhammad and Gulbano Ali – Sold in Bothell – 2016
If you are looking for a well informed, organized and innovative real estate agent then Tony Meier is the agent I would recommend. Tony is well versed on all of the nuances, intricacies and aspects of a real estate transaction. He is clear on what needs to be done to make the sale or purchase of your home seamless and easy to maneuver through. I would recommend Tony to anyone looking to buy or sell and maximize their return. We sold our mother’s home using Tony as our agent and when the time comes to execute our next move, Tony’s phone will be ringing.
Scot and Linda Horton (children of Marion Hunter) – Sold in Kenmore – 2016
I had the privilege of working with Tony as my realtor when selling my home recently. Tony possesses all the attributes necessary to be an excellent broker: he knows his market extremely well; he is diligent, responsive and very patient with his clients. Tony is both very professional and personable. He emanates a sense of trust-worthiness that makes you feel very secure, puts his clients interests far above his own.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tony to any person who is looking to sell or buy a home, as well as seek his service with any of my future real estate transactions.

Ryan & Marjorie Landon – Purchased and Sold in Redmond – 2010
Tony—you were GREAT! You were patient, met with us often, hung around with us while we hemmed and hawed about the Kirkland house, worked closely with us so we understood the dynamics of the current housing market, and so much more! What really struck me was how you stayed at the house while the inspection was being done. You did everything you could to make the negotiations successful, the purchase clear, the escrow timely, and put the keys in our hands! I am so grateful to be living in our beautiful home, and thankful for all your efforts.
Tricia Billes & Dennis Stillman
Purchased in Woodinville – 2015
I initially had reservations as to how Tony took over the total selling of our home, like a bull in a china shop. He told us what needed to be done, to get out of his way, he made his famous video, got the house on the market, and sold it in a very little time. We hardly lifted a finger. I’d have no reservations having him sell our home the next time.
Neal Schwartz
Sold in Redmond 2016
Tony helped me through the experience of selling my home with patience, great suggestions and good contacts. As I live on the east coast this was a long distance transaction, plus I’m a house selling novice. He suggested improvements that made sense to me to get the most for my money and was very good about telling me which ideas wouldn’t maximize my profit. He acted almost like a general contractor, getting bids and overseeing work in the house, even going so far as to go to the property to cut some tree branches himself! He has contacts with companies that came into the house at short notice because he knows the neighborhood and local market so well. I am extremely satisfied with Tony Meier’s availability and service level. Plus, he is good with people. If I ever get to move back to Redmond, he is the only realtor I will call.
Thank you, Tony

Sold in Coventry – 2015
The knowledge of the Market and ability to take excellent pictures and the video were awesome. My experience working with you on the sale of my home was next to flawless. The experience you brought about the market and the homes values and sales in the area, allowed me to have my home listed at the lower amount for the listing with the hope and should I say expectation that the interest in the home would drive up the price. So the lower starting price created a frenzy of activity and within a week we had 8 offers. Working with the interested parties/realtors you kept them appraised of the interest which allowed for offers to be increased beyond expectations, which yielded a 10% increase on the sale. An overall excellent experience! Thanks!
Rand Lamoree – Sold in Woodinville – 2015
I was very pleased with my experience selling my house with Tony. What I most appreciated was that he:
– Acted as my advocate, guiding me through the process and making recommendations that were in my best interest.
– Was honest–giving me lots of facts and advice that wasn’t always the easiest path.
– Responded quickly to every communication from me and others involved in the transaction.
Tony has long experience in this business and has developed a sense for the best decision to make at every turn.
Liz Wimmer – Sold in Redmond – 2015
“We have used Tony’s services for many years and we keep going back to him.
We first ran into Tony when he was the selling agent of a luxury house we bought. We were so impressed with his work from a distance that we asked him to sell our original house right away. He helped us sell it at a great price with multiple competing offers in a week. This was in 2008 when the market was going south!
He recently helped us sell off this very luxury home. Tony knew the strengths and weaknesses of this house and helped us prep, price and present remotely since we no longer lived in the Seattle area. Not only was it a complicated house to sell, we had several mishaps along the way including a major water leak. Despite all this, Tony in his calm professional manner kept unblocking and moving forward and in the end got the house sold really fast.
What Tony brings to the table is a unique combination of street smarts, deep love for his profession, technology savviness and data driven skills. These combination of skills means that he not only gets the job done, he gets it done extremely well and with minimum fuss. Tony is the best and we continue to highly recommend him.”
Anantha and Laurence Kancherla – Sold in Kirkland – 2015
(Tim and Tam with the 3 offers we generated on their home)
We highly recommend Tony Meier to fill your real estate needs. He blazed the trail for us with the prep work, created a professional promotional video of our home, hired an outstanding home inspector so that all the clients had access to the results, and followed through with an open house as well as six days of showings. In the end, he let those who had made offers know that they had competition. The result was a superlative offer over list value that we happily accepted. We can’t think of anything he could have done better. It was the perfect sale mostly due to the professionalism of Tony Meier.
Tim and Tam Alden – Sold in Redmond – 2015
Your level of service was outstanding. We appreciated your experience and honesty. The home sold in 6 days, I couldn’t be more excited. Getting a pre-sale Inspection was something I had not heard of before, but really helped sell our townhome. I can’t believe how many business cards were placed on the kitchen counter. Tony really listened to us and understood our situation and his level of service is nothing but exceptional.
Steve and Julie Kennedy – Sold in Seattle – 2015
Thank you so much for helping us purchase our home! We love it. You are so easy to work with and we are grateful we found you.
Brian and Shannon Taylor – Purchased in Duvall – 2015
The first word that come to mind when I think of our experience with Tony is integrity. My husband and I have tended not to trust real estate agents. But Tony is professional, ethical, honest and an expert negotiator. He seems to love that part of the job and it shows. In addition, he is very experienced, detail-oriented, calm and an excellent photographer.
My advice would be to hire Tony as soon as you have made the decision to sell your home at some point. Then ask for his advice, and take it!
Ann and Brian Steel – Sold in Bothell – 2015
If you’re thinking of selling your home in the English Hill area, Tony Meier is the first person you should meet with. As you then meet with other brokers, you’ll quickly realize that no one is as in-touch with the English Hill real estate market as Tony is. Tony recently guided us through the sale of our home and we couldn’t be more pleased. Tony’s thorough knowledge of the English Hill real estate market helped him to recommend the optimal listing price. Sure, other brokers might have recommended a higher listing price, but Tony priced the house at a fair price that attracted a lot of interest and multiple offers. Ultimately, our house sold for $30K over the listing price and at a time of year when the market was beginning to slow for the summer. We have friends who also sold their English Hill home recently. They decided to go with another broker who recommended a top-dollar listing price. The property had very little action until they lowered the asking price to a level very close to what Tony had recommended, after which the house sold. The point is, no one knows the English Hill market better than Tony and he will get you results that you’ll be pleased with.
In addition, Tony’s help through the entire process was invaluable. He helped us to identify what changes needed to be made to ready the home for sale. He was available to meet with us any time we had questions. He even accompanied my wife to a cabinet store in Tukwila to check out some cabinets and counter tops. His recommendations were invaluable. When we were ready to list, Tony prepared marketing materials (photos, videos, flyers, etc.) that presented the home in its best light. He held a neighborhood open house the first Saturday after the home went on the market. As a result of his efforts, offers began pouring in. Tony kept us informed every step of the way. In less than a week, we were meeting with him to review the multiple offers received. Again, Tony’s knowledge and experience were invaluable in reviewing the offers and selecting the winning bid. Tony’s work didn’t stop after offer acceptance. Instead, he shepherded the sale through closing, keeping us informed at every step.
As stated earlier, we couldn’t be more pleased with the results that Tony achieved. We were moving out of state (in fact, I had already started a new job) so it was important that we complete our sale as quickly as possible. No one likes to pay a $40K commission, but Tony really earns his commission! I’m confident that if we had tried to sell the home ourselves or listed with a discount broker, we would not have achieved the results that Tony delivered. Thank you, Tony!
Phil and Wendy Romney – Sold in Redmond – 2015
Tony came highly recommended by a neighbor and co-worker, and with good reason. His overall performance as a listing agent was excellent and he was very easy to work with. Both referrals had used Tony for multiple transactions.
– It’s often expected an agent will provide a list of things to do to make a place more marketable. Tony did this thoughtfully, offering suggestions on things that would help as well as things that weren’t necessary. It was all based on priorities to help us choose what we were willing and able to do. I felt he was working with us like we were a neighbor rather than just trying to make his job easier for a quick sale.
– Communication was excellent. Tony always kept us in the loop on all stages of the process, was readily available, and was always prompt with a reply to an email or returning a phone call. I also appreciated his candidness, and when he said he would do something, he did it promptly.
– The web presentation of the house was very well done, and with broad advertising brought in a number of good offers and bidding competition. Tony understood the market dynamics and applied a strategy that resulted in a quick sell and at a price well above what we expected. It was a strong seller’s market at the time but he knew how to take advantage of it. And when it came to negotiating with the buyer’s agents, I felt Tony did an excellent job of representing our interests. He also was extremely helpful in vetting the buyers to help select the offer that had a high probability of closing without problems or delays. The whole process went very smoothly.
– One last thing I appreciated with Tony was his overall professionalism. He would explain things well, offer recommendations and discuss trade-offs, but would let us make the decisions.
I would not hesitate to hire Tony again as a buyer or a seller.
Rich Heineck and Edi McSorley – Sold in Woodinville – 2015
Suji & I were extremely satisfied with your level of service. We are repeat clients remember! And for good reason.
Right from the start you gave us a good feel for the market. You obviously know it well! This helped us develop the right strategy for the sale. Your idea of getting a pre-inspection done was the best – saving us a lot of effort (post sale). We are also very appreciative of your helping us get the right professionals to spruce up the home pre-sale. Ultimately your professionalism throughout the process, and your excellent negotiations skills made it a totally smooth & successful outcome for us. Thank you!
Veeru Perianan and Suji Lakshminarayanan – Sold in Bothell – 2015
I have not been involved with a house sale of this type in the past but the processes Tony Meier had in place provided an environment that exceeded my expectations.
At my first meeting with Tony he explained his role in the sale process and the current market condition. Two items were important to me 1) a quick sale and 2) once a price was given to the public it would not be lowered. To support these two issues he provided advice on how the house and yard could be presented more attractively to prospective buyers while being realistic about my costs.
We agreed on a listing date and he proceeded to put together a professional quality video of the interior and exterior of the house which I believe had a significant impact on the quick selling of my home. Through this entire time he kept me fully up to date on his commitments and checked to make sure I was following up on mine.
The house was listed on a Thursday and firm bid was received over the weekend that exceed the listing price.
Papers were signed and the final payoff date was met. Any activity of this type causes the seller to be a little jumpy but Tony with his communication skills kept the jumps to a minimum. I selected Tony based my first meeting with him and the recommendation of my neighbor: Tony sold their house in two days and also exceed the offering price.
When your turn comes to sell your house talk with the people he represented and then have a personal discussion with him. I believe your experience with Tony will be as mine was – a quality, professional and enthusiastic sale process. Good Luck.
Bill Rupp – Sold in Redmond – 2015
There really isn’t enough room here to explain what a great process we had from you working for and with us Tony.
You were very responsive to our concerns and you professionally, tactfully, and skillfully negotiated our sale while protecting our interests for the best possible result.
We would recommend you without hesitation to anyone wanting the very best customer service possible.
In addition, to date, your recommendations for other services we needed were top notch. Like yourself, professional, and the best quality.
Thank you so much!
Paul and Janice Salois – Sold in Redmond – 2015
We can’t thank you enough for your help selling the house in Kent. It was a daunting prospect at first glance when we made the decision to sell because we live out of town and weren’t sure about a “long distance” situation.
You made it so easy for us because you told us immediately upon inspection of the home what we realistically needed to do to get the house ready to sell. We did not have a lot of time to search for local companies to make repairs so your recommendations were so valuable to us.
We could not have been happier with the workmanship of the repairs and the ease with which all work was done.
You answered all of our questions in a straight forward manner. We had total confidence in your ability to help us complete a successful sale. Thank you for making this such a positive experience.
Jim and Karen Ellis – Sold in Kent – 2015
First of all I would like to say thank you for making the buying process smooth and exciting!
The thing that I appreciated the most is that I had the feeling that you were really working for me! You listened to what I wanted and tried to get the best deal for me and did not try to convince me otherwise.
In my past experiences I had the feeling that the realtor wanted to make sure that there would be a sale regardless if I was happy with the deal or not. The fact that you were working very closely with my Lender was also a positive experience for me. I did not have to play as the middleman trying to keep you both informed of the process.
Thank you again and I hope that we will have the opportunity to do more business in the future!
Joseph and Maria Luta – Purchased an Investment Property in Renton – 2015
Every realtor’s website has glowing testimonials from their clients. But what actionable info do you have when you have to pick a realtor for your needs?
Below is an actionable interview process that you can use to vet a realtor when selling a home.
A savvy solution oriented realtor like Tony Meier will instinctively know all about these, and will “get the job done!”
On all these points, we felt Tony Meier met or exceeded our needs!
Thanks!
Harish Nataraj and Swapna Sundaram – Sold in Redmond – 2015
Your service was excellent, honest and patient, especially when I asked the same questions over again. You were extremely knowledgeable and supportive during a stressful experience, both several years ago when the house was purchased and now during the selling process.
I would highly recommend Tony – We appreciate all your hard work, regular updates and communication!
Thank you!
Lynn Armstrong – Sold in Sammamish – 2015
Tony,
Thanks so much!
Richard and Teri Brunory – Sold in Redmond – 2015

Note: The sellers interviewed two other Brokers (including a well known discount brokerage) and they were told to expect $500,000 to $550,000 at best for the home! Tony recommended a listing price of $575,000 and generated 9 offers on the home with a final sales price of $637,000! The end result was nearly $100,000 more in the seller’s bank account! |
After meeting with and carefully considering several real estate agents, we chose Tony Meier to help us sell our home. We couldn’t be more pleased with our choice. Tony’s expertise and professionalism are second to none.
He was very diligent to keep us fully informed throughout the whole process so that we could make sound choices at every step. Tony spared no effort on our behalf and was in constant communication with us. He is totally professional, knowledgeable, and diligent. We were able to sell our home quickly and for a price that we are very happy with thanks to Tony’s help.
We highly recommend Tony to anybody seeking to buy or sell a home.
David and Melissa Conlee – Sold in Redmond – 2015
Tony is the most professional and personal realtor you will find. He supported us throughout a multi-year consideration of whether to sell our home and always gave us 100% of his energy whenever we had questions about the market and the right time to sell.
When we finally were ready we knew we were already in the best hands with Tony’s commitment to give us the best possible chance for success. The real estate market is an ever-changing maze and Tony navigates it through attention to detail, staying up-to-date with trends and statistics, and his wealth of knowledge and years of experience. He has an outstanding reputation and the warmest personality!
When you choose Tony he will be next to you every step of the way through the process, ensuring that you understand what decisions need to be made and when and have the information needed to have peace of mind. From the start we knew that Tony would give us the best possible result. The first indicator was his stunning video of our home which allowed us to see it as if for the first time after living in it and loving it for 7 years! His photography is top notch and he spared no amount of effort or expense when preparing advertising for our home. His advice is second to none. To prepare for photography and showings he gave us great advice so we could prepare our home for the sale without expending energy or money needlessly.
Throughout the process we were able to trust that every day he was working to sell our home and that meant the world to us! His patient sharing of knowledge and understanding when it comes to how to best navigate selling a home while meeting a family’s needs helped us tremendously. We had over 60 showings of our home despite selling in only 3 short months and despite how busy that time was for us we always felt that we had Tony’s support and that he too was working hard towards the sale.
In addition, Tony is the most welcoming and friendly person which makes the entire process enjoyable rather than stressful! Our children commented on how nice Tony is and we know that they could tell we were in good hands which really made the entire experience a positive one for our family! Tony, we can’t thank you enough! You are a gem!
The Kachmarsky Family – Sold in Redmond – 2014
Tony is a true pro that supported us from VERY early (couple years before listing) and through the entire process with no business (‘have to sign me up first’) type pressures – THANK YOU! He always found time to respond in a timely manner and communicate the plan, any updates, and offer general assistance in words an inexperienced seller could understand. He minimized unknowns to us and that made the selling experience forthcoming and simple to follow.
Again, thank you Tony.
Bret Lamoree – Sold in Woodinville – 2014
When we needed to buy a house, you were our only choice. We are a repeat customer, since you sold our house in Redmond in 2010. There is nothing you could have done to improve your service level. You are perfect. Availability – You were always available, even with our crazy schedules, your extreme popularity and the extraordinary volume of houses we wanted to see. Knowledge – You had the excellent answers to every question and the perfect references for every need. Patience – Excellent explaining, guiding and translating to simple language to us real estate dummies through the maze of the process. Extreme Experience (The Miracle) – Winning the house we wanted, even though we weren’t the highest offer. The endless details you knew exactly what to say and do to make it happen. See you when we want to sell!
John and Monica Watson – Purchased in Woodinville – 2014
I was very impressed with Tony’s photography, video, and write up on his Eastside Homes webpage. The staging looked near perfect, the advertising looked great, and I was very encouraged that after all the hard labor and expense of remodeling we were headed to multiple offers.
Marc and Sarah Kramer – Sold in Woodinville – 2014
Our family has known and worked with Tony Meier, of Windermere R.E. Northwest, Inc., for many years. We have always found him to be a top professional in his field, responsive to our requests, always available when called upon and easy to work with. Recently we listed our home with Tony after he presented a very well thought out and professional marketing plan which addressed all of our questions and concerns. His approach goes far beyond what we experienced in the past with other brokers. Throughout the listing process Tony kept us informed about changing marketing conditions as well as up dates on buyers interests through electronic and agents feedback. We always knew where we stood in the changing market place.
When a potential buyer did not fulfill his contractual obligations, Tony was an advocate for us which enabled us to retain the earnest money due to us. We can highly recommend Tony for your real-estate needs and we know you will find him exhibiting the highest ethics and integrity representing your best interests.
Larry and Ruth Magnan – Sold in Redmond – 2014
Tony helped us navigate a very tricky relocation to the West Coast from Boston. He worked tirelessly to show us over a dozen houses in two days, and then helped us negotiate a bid on a property that we loved. As luck would have it, we were then forced into a difficult bidding war with another buyer. Tony was very skillful in putting together a bid package that helped us win the house of our dreams. I recommend him highly!
Evan McGlinn and Bradley O’Brien – Purchased in Seattle – 2014
Tony, I think you were right on with how you did things. You were out to sell the house and do it as fast as you could. And you did it! Plus sold it for more than the asking price. You were always available to us when we had questions or needed something. I know I wasn’t very excited about the whole thing in general, but that was because I didn’t want to move. It was also hard for me because things happened so fast. But that is not a negative against you.
Tony helped us purchase our home 9 years ago. I wanted him to sell the house for us because I knew he was very professional, an excellent person to work with, and would get the job done! Our house sold within days of being on the market for above the asking price! It was unbelievable. Tony is a no-nonsense person, gets the job done, very comfortable to work with and listens to what you want and will accommodate you. If I ever buy a home again, Tony is my guy!
Vicki Kirvan – Sold in Snohomish – 2014
We happened to find Tony randomly through an open house. We liked his honesty and straight forward manner. He let us contact him. When we did decide to proceed, he came to our house and walked us through what we needed to do for our house. This was a very emotional process for my wife and I and he guided us through the process without being emotionally involved.
He followed through, helped us make an offer an got our new house and old house sold within 6 weeks. After the sale was complete there were some issues that the seller told us they had fixed, which turned out not to be true.
Tony has gone above and beyond what I could expect with this process. Especially since both parties have already been paid and he had no stake in the matter.
His ethical nature helped guide me even past the traditional buying and selling process. His recommendations for contractors has also proved very valuable. I would recommend Tony to anyone who is looking for an honest and ethical real estate agent.
Noah and Tonya Davidson – Sold and Purchased in Woodinville – 2014
Our family has just completed a highly successful sale of my parent’s house under Tony Meier’s expert guidance. I called him on a tight schedule in the middle of a complicated situation. He responded immediately with great competence and compassion.
Tony went out of his way to meet the many deadlines and needs dictated by the health and welfare of my parents. He jumped right into the listing and provided many helpful references. He read the market well and knew the situation in English Hill intimately. Each step went forward as he had predicted and the money from the sale was in my parent’s hands in a matter of weeks.
The whole presentation was beautifully supported on the Internet and through communication with the real estate network.
I would whole-heartedly recommend Tony Meier as the man to call for your real estate needs.
Cheryl Goldenbear for the Richardson Family – Sold in Redmond – 2014
Our family was fortunate to have Tony Meier as our realtor. Tony is energetic, enthusiastic, and experienced. His video and sales information were very appealing and informative. We were selling a home on English Hill, and because Tony lives in the area he was familiar with the local resources and helped us to connect to workers who helped prepare the house for sale. When we had to make an adjustment in our listing date, Tony was understanding and jumped right on board. Perhaps most important, Tony was respectful and patient with our elderly parents throughout the whole process. I would recommend Tony Meier to anyone who wants a personable, efficient, successful realtor.
Diane Richardson for the Richardson Family – Sold in Redmond – 2014
Tony did a great job helping us sell our home. He is very knowledgeable about current market conditions and expertly guided us through the sales process. Tony helped us set a price, he helped us with presentation suggestions and he helped us with many other details of the sales process. He put together a very nice walk-through video and a very professional flyer.
Tony’s best quality is his commitment to communication – he excels at this. We always felt that we were included in the process and important to him. I highly recommend him.
Richard and Marie Zagroba – Sold in Redmond – 2014
Thank you for all your help in selling my home. Overall the experience was easy and stress free. I appreciated your timely assistance and your responsiveness to my questions. I will recommend you and Windermere to others in my family in the future. I was particularly pleased that you were explicit about how the house should be shown and what should be done to make it desirable for buyers. I believe that this enhanced the property and facilitated the sale. In addition, I feel that the video clips of the home were exceptionally well done. Buyers could easily see what the advantages of the home were.
Thank you again for all your help and best wishes in your future endeavors.
Susanne Loarie – Sold in Redmond – 2014
In my real estate transaction, there was nothing that Tony Meier could have done to improve my service level or enhancing my Real Estate experience. I was completely satisfied with his level of participation and service while representing our property to other industry Sales Agents and prospective clients.
He inspected our property, made some suggestions, took professional digital photographs, which represented our property in best light possible. Within one week he quickly had our property listed with photographs, prospective buyer inquires followed, then within two weeks we had an outstanding offer with an enthusiastic buyer who closed on our property four weeks later. That my good friends is an incredible achievement from time of representation to property closing. Keep in mind that we have just been through a very down then flat market.
Mr. Meier handled all the documentation, final papers, and managed the transaction process from offer for sale to closing. I am extremely satisfied with Mr. Meier’s professional attitude, management style, and his leadership. If you are lucky to have him represent your property, I am confident you will be pleased with results. Speaking of results, with Mr. Meier you get results – not excuses.
Richard Loarie – Sold in Redmond – 2014
We were happy with our choice of Tony Meier to sell our English Hill home. He is by far the most accomplished realtor in the neighborhood and comes with a wealth of knowledge. Tony was always available for questions and open to suggestions. He ultimately did exactly what we asked: found a buyer for our home. We recommend Tony to sell your house.
Adam Holcott and Erin Drayer—Sold in Redmond—2014
You did an excellent job! I really liked all the technical information you are able to put out like the web sites and feedback! You handled this tuff situation very well. Over all it was a very positive experience for me.
Jason Tauscheck – Sold in Kirkland – 2014
As far as I’m concerned, there was nothing else you could have done to make this experience any better than it was! From sitting down with me and providing the information about market trends and meet comps was invaluable. Listing and showing my home while I was out of town was so convenient. Getting feedback online and the many resources to market my house was impressive. You provided exemplary customer service during the entire process. I felt at ease during what could have been a very stressful time. Prompt responses to phone calls and emails to answer questions and even take care of some things that were probably above and beyond the scope of your job description made it easy! I would be happy to refer you to my friends or provide a reference for you to potential clients in the future.
Rosemarie Armstrong – Sold in Redmond – 2014
Tony Meier was able to help us land a deal on our dream house which probably would not have been possible without his suggestions and ideas. He was attentive to the details and always answered our questions thoroughly and promptly. This was probably our best experience with an agent to date. We have bought 3 houses and sold 2.
Tom and Leslie Delorenzi – Purchased in Redmond – 2014
This was my fourth transaction with Tony and while home buying/selling is never an easy transaction, Tony certainly makes it very smooth. Tony kept me apprised along all steps of the process and even kept the other agent on his toes. He is a good friend but we’ll have to keep our friendship non-business since I plan on staying in this “forever” home! Thanks again Tony!
Liz Dodd—Purchased in Woodinville – 2014
Until this year, my husband & I had never been the “sellers” of a house before. We appreciated Tony’s straightforward explanations of the process including how the current market could effect our selling price. Tony provided real-time data, specific to our buyer’s and we felt confident we had the best realtor at our side. Our result was a thoughtful, well-reasoned plan to sell our house quickly, while maximizing the market value of our home at that specific time. We all worked hard and we had a great experience.
Kim and Martha Kelley – Sold in Kenmore – 2014
Tony, I acquired your name through both friends and family members that were very pleased with the services you provided in the sales and purchases of their homes. Their high praise was well justified.
The ageing home you helped me sell was located on a very unique property, with several stumbling blocks. Your realistic advice proved to be accurate each time. Though I did not want to spend more money to complete a sale, your reasoning was sound and by paying a few of the County smaller fees, we were able to complete a sale.
I appreciated your being very specific in your recommendations on ways to navigate the challenges which arose and I always felt you acted in my best interest, keeping me well informed of the steps needing attention.
Your follow-up and attention to detail was outstanding from listing through closing with escrow and I truly appreciate having had the opportunity to work with you. Thank you again.
Shirley Gardner—Sold in Bothell—2014
I don’t know of anything that could have been done better, to assist in the closing on our home purchase. Tony worked numerous days in the research of, and touring 20-30 homes. He provided invaluable information about areas, neighborhoods, and local environments. The negotiating process went smoothly, and resulted in a very positive conclusion.
Tony took our input for house-interests, and organized the sequence of search to maximize use of our time. He counselled us on desirability of areas, and provided detailed information on specific homes, whether it be from other brokers, or city/county offices. His input was always specific to the issues at hand, and well-founded in common sense. He was also very available during ourcross-country search and move.
Gary and Riki Woodrell—Purchased in Renton—2013
We chose to go back to Tony when we were ready to sell our townhouse and purchase a house because of his superb performance in helping us find our townhouse. Tony goes above and beyond and obviously cares very much about his clients and in getting things done in a timely manner. He is friendly and professional and extremely knowledgeable in his field. We had many questions about both purchasing and selling and he was there to answer every question with patience and detail. We’d recommend his services to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
Adam and Jennifer Lydick – Purchased in Lynnwood – 2013 and Sold in Bothell – 2014
When we decided to sell our home, the first thing we needed was to find a realtor we trusted and felt comfortable with. From the initial meeting to the sale of our home Tony had us involved and informed every step of the way. Our home sold quickly at a higher listing price. If you have trepidation about finding a person to help sell your home then I would have you talk to Tony…his success rate speaks for itself, which we can now attest to.
James and Denise Priddy—Sold in Redmond—2013
Tony was there for us, starting months before the house went on the market, giving us valuable advice on projects that would yield the most bang for the buck. Before we met Tony we were having a terrible time getting vendors to bid and show up to work on projects. He generously shared his rolodex of resources for carpeting, handymen, plumbers, roofers, and movers Each recommendation was quick to respond and professional. His advice was also invaluable for how to stage our home to put its best foot forward. The photos and text posted on the Website showed the house to its best advantage and emphasized its selling points. When we saw that our house wasn’t going to sell immediately, Tony was encouraging and his advice was realistic and proved true. We’re very appreciative of his negotiating skills and his ability to get us a favorable price. He guided us through every step of the closing, again, giving us excellent advice.
Don and Sue Dryden—Sold in Redmond—2013
We were very happy with you and our experience.
We were impressed with your professionalism and your knowledge of the markets, the inventory, and the selling/purchasing process. We especially liked you familiarity and use of the technology available these days. The email alerts we got for new listings were very helpful, and ultimately enabled us to make the offer on our new house as soon as it came available. We feel that was a huge advantage!
Patrick and Kathleen Roach—Purchased in Bellevue—2013
I have had an outstanding experience working with Tony. That isn’t a comment I make lightly. Tony provided great and frequent communication on the market and trends, as well as my own house. He was very responsive to my questions… No matter how basic they may have seemed. Given the active market at the time of my house sale, I knew that Tony was very busy. But he always made me feel like I was his only customer. He went beyond the call of duty by even providing me with some quality cleaner that I didn’t have. All of his help was toward helping prepare my house for the highest possibly resale price. Once our place was on the market, he helped me strategize to get the maximum value. He was also honest and conscientious enough to tell me the truth even when he knew it wasn’t what I wanted to hear. In the end, I believe I got top dollar for my house. This day and age, it’s nice to work with someone that I felt could be trusted completely. I very highly recommend Tony to anyone. He really goes to bat for his clients. Thank you!
Kevin Willems – Sold in Redmond – 2013
Dear Tony, I want to express how very much I appreciate the excellent and professional job you did to help me find the house I’ve recently purchased. I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate. You listened to my wish to stay in a certain specific neighborhood and understood my financial situation – but you also “thought out of the box” when you brought to my attention a split level house that has turned out to be perfect for my needs (though initially, I was sure I wanted a rambler). It’s that kind of initiative I appreciate so much.
Every aspect of this purchase went smoothly due to your hard work on my behalf. I couldn’t be happier! And I’ll be forever grateful to my daughter for recommending you to me.
Shari Rooney – Purchased in Redmond – 2013
Hi Tony, as always you were able to guide us through to a successful purchase. This time when we put in our offer I didn’t expect it to be accepted. But you encouraged us to go through the process and sure enough we bought a house! Thanks for all your help and next time we want to buy a house (which I hope will be a while), you’ll be our first call. Thanks!
Bill and Kay Breslin – Purchased in Kirkland – 2013
Tony helped us navigate through some challenging waters as we sold one home and bought another in a time crunch as school was about to start for our kids. Because of Tony we ended up in a beautiful home which we really would have thought was beyond our reach. Tony is an expert at what he does, as he guides his clients through local housing markets with a sure-fire perspective and a steady hand. He provides invaluable insights on negotiating and he does everything it takes to find and close the perfect deal for his clients. He is a joy to work with and we cannot recommend him enough!
Sunitha Anjival & Kit Chovanak – Sold & Purchased in Redmond – 2013
When faced with an unexpected family medical emergency, it became apparent that there was a very high probability that we would need to sell my parents home in English Hill – I needed to lay the ground work, from across the country, to have the best real estate broker available to walk us through the process and sell the home as quickly as possible for market value – no games, no discounting.
I researched brokers in the Redmond area through the internet and set up appointments to interview my top three choices upon my arrival to the Seattle area.
Within 30 days, a family decision was made to sell the home and I selected Tony Meier as our broker.
Tony was the “standout” candidate and my choice for a broker for several reasons – full time broker who has had the most English Hill closings during the last few years, lives in the neighborhood so has a vested interest in the market, had the highest asking price to selling price percentage hands down, and had a superior marketing program with his own English Hill website plus multiple social media sites.
My parent’s home sold on the first day that offers were accepted and sold for asking price! I would recommend Tony Meier if you are looking for a trustworthy, seasoned real estate broker.
Karen Autore (Daughter of Carol Jones)—Sold in Redmond 2013
Our family loves the house and are in disbelief at how fortunate we were to have found it!
We also feel very fortunate to have met you, as you helped so much in our transition from CA to WA. From our preliminary visits with you prior to our move, to helpful market information you provided from the start, and follow ups after our first meeting, we knew we wanted to work with you. You helped us to make an educated decision on the area and the real estate market, as well as helping us to weigh pros and cons of houses we looked at, without sugar-coating things. We feel you acted in our best interests and on our behalf throughout the entire transaction, and that’s exactly what every home buyer needs!
Also, when it came time to make our offer, we were very pleased with your recommendations on negotiating with the seller, and even personalizing our offer so it wasn’t just a numbers game. As a result, we got the house we wanted, at a good price, in an ideal area, and look forward to enjoying it for many years to come.
It is without reservation that we will recommend your services. Thank you for all your time and attention, and we look forward to staying in touch!

Tony, this is the third house you have sold for us. Could there be any better recommendation? You are so professional, keeping us informed at every step of the process. You negotiate for us and tell us how to get the property ready for the best possible price in the current market. Your photography is outstanding. The paperwork is so easy with your technical online ability and you explain clearly to all our concerns. We will be contacting you again with our next sale!
Linda Shirley – Sold in Seattle – 2013
You definitely lived up to your reputation as a realtor and we greatly enjoyed working with you. Everything went quickly and smoothly. Even with the short sale, you kept us well informed and explained a lot. We will gladly refer you to anyone we know who is looking to buy or sell a home!
Stephen and Amanda Whetstine
Tony made the entire process easy. As techies we appreciated that Tony used the latest technology. He took amazing photos of the house, provided a service which logged realtor/customer comments, and had a list of contractors for last minute items. Tony offered an online process to review and sign offers with Authenti-Sign which meant that we could respond to offers and sign the sales agreement despite being put of town during the entire process. Highly Recommend !
Sue and Aragorn Kaplan—Sold in Redmond—2013
I am very happy with the service from Tony. Tony knows the market well. He is very sharp and efficient in responding to market opportunities. He is very professional and open in communication. I will do business again with Tony. I will recommend Tony to anyone who is interested in buying and selling houses.
Lee Weng – Purchased in Kenmore – 2013
If you demand honesty, enthusiasm, professionalism, market knowledge, positive personality, and a contagious smile, Tony Meier should be your broker. I have known Tony since 2001, when we meet at a business networking organization. I was instantly impressed with Tony’s positive personality and smile. I have referred several clients to Tony over the years, and they were all happy with the out-come of their purchase/sale.
Recently my wife and I decided to leave Bellevue for another state. Of course Tony Meier was the one to list/sell our house. He did his market research in a very through manner. He did a very nice analysis of our house. Was very straight-forward on the good points of the house, but more important, pulled no punches on the bad points (many of which could not be corrected). I believe Tony was reasonable on what he thought we should do to stage the house. As a result, the house sold immediately, and closed very quickly due to Tony’s constant attention to details, and problem solving.
I have know many brokers in my life, but Tony is the #1. Trust me on all this, because it is the truth.
Tom Argyle – Sold in Bellevue – 2013
We were glad to be referred to you thank you for your efforts in finding our ideal home! Once we gave an outline of requirements for what we wanted in a home, you went to work trying to locate it. With the low inventory, it took some time. However, you were very flexible and accommodating to our time schedule, so we could quickly see any potential contender. Once we did find the perfect home, we appreciate that you were on it, so we could pull the trigger and secure the home. You were very much hands on when it came to the finalizing, making sure everyone involved was on pace to get this purchase wrapped up. Thank you!
Kevin Hazelwood and Asfira Usmanova – Purchased in Woodinville – 2013
Tony is absolutely fantastic! His wealth of knowledge and experience in the real estate business were invaluable tools in helping us find our first home. A very clear communicator, Tony kept us well informed throughout the entire process and was always available to answer any questions, no matter how small they might have seemed. This being our first purchase, Tony was able to offer sound advise along the way in what to look for and what to be wary of, and he played a pivotal role in helping us find our home and feel comfortable with our purchase. Tony will be the only agent we will refer our friends and family to and he will certainly be our first call when we are ready to purchase our next home!
Liz and Andrew Floodeen – Purchased in Woodinville – 2013
I was very pleased with the work of Tony Meier and his team at Windermere Real Estate. He was there during a time of need and made the process as smooth as possible. Beyond the roles of a professional realtor, Tony exhibited an enormous amount of patience and words of encouragement as we searched for my perfect new beginning. I would recommend his services to others for the tremendous job and time spent dedicated to my needs of selling and buying a new home.
Lisa Dolan – Sold in Redmond, Purchased in Lynnwood – 2013
I have been a Branch Manager at a national bank for over 30 years and I have worked with hundreds of Realtors in my career and I just want to tell you Tony that you did an AWESOME job on selling my house. The pictures that you took and the video that you did on the Internet was outstanding. I cannot believe how fast our house was sold. Getting 16 offers and selling the house for 11% above the listing price was incredible!! I will recommend you to everybody if somebody is going to sell their home.
Again thanks for everything you made selling the house painless!!
Steve Dolan – Sold in Redmond – 2013
We had lived in our Kirkland home for 29 years when we decided to downsize and move into a condo. Tony placed our home on the market and in five days we had six offers. Tony skillfully managed the bidding war that developed and we ended up selling for $36,000 more than our asking price. Thank you Tony!!
Steve and Karen Pillitu – Sold in Kirkland – 2013
In the last few months, Tony Meier has facilitated the sale of my home and purchase of a new property . Both transactions went smoothly and easily, primarily because of Tony’s proactive and professional response to all aspects of the sale and purchase. He provided me with the information I needed to make decisions that were in my best interest. During the time I worked with Tony, he was easily reachable and responsive to my phone calls and emails. He has even called after the completion of my purchase to make sure everything was going well. I highly recommend Tony for all your real estate needs!
Marsha Moore – Purchased in Bothell – 2013
My wife and I had the unfortunate task of finding a house during a period of very low availability. It was to our extreme good fortune to select and work with Tony Meier during this process. Throughout house hunting, Tony provided excellent guidance. He was completely engaged with our search, learning our likes and dislikes and providing us with suitable homes to review. Reaction time is critical in a seller’s market and Tony was always available to schedule visits, review comparable homes and help write and submit offers. Tony’s knowledge of the Eastside was a key factor in providing us with many locations to review. Once we located a home that met our needs, Tony continued to provide unmatched service. He helped us put together the right offer and gave us guidance on how to make our offer the most attractive to the seller. Again Tony was fully engaged with us during the negotiations, making sure all our needs were met and that we were completely comfortable with the purchase process. After the sale, Tony continued to provided us assistance, answering questions and providing references for work we performed. I would recommend Tony to anyone looking to purchase real estate, you will not be disappointed with his outstanding service!
Eric & Amy Epperson – Purchased in Redmond – 2013
Meeting Tony has been such a blessing for our family. Upon meeting Tony we knew right away that he was the perfect broker for us. He understood our needs as a family and went above and beyond all expectations. Tony found us our ideal home in English Hill. We feel that with his extensive knowledge of the area and connections with the community Tony sealed the deal on the house for us. For us, there were many bumps in the road to closing on our house, but Tony was always one step ahead, taking exceptional care of us. With his attention to detail and determination we now have our perfect home. We couldn’t be happier! Thank you Tony.
Liz and Dennis Cheng – Purchased in Redmond – 2013
I wanted to send you a letter of thanks as our Realtor on the recent sale of our home. It has been a pleasure working with you from the first appointment, continuing throughout the selling process, and up to your phone call in which you congratulated us that our home was sold.
The fact that our home sold on first day was amazing, and I believe that was because of your hard work and friendly and professional attitude. The excellent photographs and video you took of our home and posted on the Windermere Realty, English Hill and other websites, afforded many buyers the opportunity to see our home. You did an excellent job in finding qualified buyers and the closing process went very well.
I would gladly recommend you to anyone wanting to buy or sell a home.
One of the best things that can be said about a person is that they are someone you would enjoy having as a neighbor and friend, and Tony you fit in that category.
Sandra and I have enjoyed meeting you and truly wish you the very best and continued success.
Thomas and Sandra Cole – Sold in Redmond – 2012
Thank you for facilitating the sale of our home in only 3 days on the market and for the asking price! It couldn’t have been a smoother process. You helped us understand everything we needed to know to market and show our home at its best. We appreciated that you were available to answer questions and calm our jitters as they arose. Your experience, expertise, and confidence in your craft came through and gave us a real sense that we had made the right choice in having you as our agent. Selling our home was a much better experience than I imagined in large part due to how you prepared us prior to the sale and supported us during the process of selling our home. Thank you very much!
Marsha Moore – Sold in Redmond – 2012
Thanks for all your help and guidance on the project. We felt you were on the ball, attentive and kept us informed. Cheers and thanks again.
David Cunningham & Jill Shriver – Sold in Redmond -2012
I am so thankful to have had Tony Meier serve as my agent to sell my home in English Hill and also to purchase my new home in the Woodside area of Renton. He went above and beyond his call of duty. He walked me through every step of the way, including referring excellent contractors to take care of some repairs in my home. Even when I was having some health issues during the process and was feeling a little overwhelmed, he would calm me down and keep me focused. In addition, after I moved into my new home, he made several follow-up calls to be sure every detail was taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent and would definitely refer him to those who want someone who will look out for their best interests. Thanks, Tony, for your hard work, your integrity and honesty! I was truly blessed with the best!
Kareen Torgerson – Sold in Redmond & Purchased in Renton – 2012
Tony, we decided to use you again because the previous sale you handled for us turn out so well. During our latest transaction, there were no disappointments and we were impressed with all the professional support that you continued to give us. We look forward to working with you again.
Bill & Kay Breslin – Sold in Redmond – 2012
We’re very glad we called in Tony to get a market appraisal and then signed him on to serve us as a realtor both in buying a new home and in selling our family home of fifteen years. It was a hard thing to leave a home we loved, but we knew we had to do it to fit the current reality in our lives. Tony was very understanding of our emotions, even as he worked with hard numbers and a clear sense of the current market. He never pushed us, accepting the pace we were able to handle in the process.
Tony helped us buy a home that is very good for us now and got us a great deal on the one we were selling. Tony is a fabulous communicator, a knowledgeable realtor, and a caring person. We are very grateful for the highly professional service Tony gave to us as a realtor and are happy to recommend him and his services to others!
Steve & Eileen Knoff – Purchased & Sold in Redmond – 2012
I so appreciated your patient and faithful attention to us as we agreed on a listing price, asked questions about preparing the house, eliminated unpleasant odors late at night (LOL!) and worked through the process of signing papers with Bob and I in different states.
To you, selling and buying houses is an every day kind of experience. To most of your clients I would guess that it’s just shy of traumatic and yet you are akin to a faithful, confident smiling nurse giving the patient comfort and confidence throughout the journey! I appreciated your availability as a resource for moving company information, cleaning ideas, loaning us your truck to drive to the dump and your honest yet not offensive feedback in preparing our home for sale.
I feel like I’m not putting into words very effectively the gratitude I feel Tony, but know that it is heartfelt. You were friendly, professional, knowledgable, patient, resourceful, a strong advocate, fair to all people involved in communications, supportive and if that wasn’t enough highly effective in selling our house! Your video and flyer were amazing, and I am confident that the spirit, blood, sweat and tears you put into your work makes you a success. I would say our experience with you was successful, not because our house sold, but because of you – the friendly, professional, knowledgeable, strong advocate.
Thank you so much for helping us with this major change and being part of our blessed experience. We wish you all the best, and maybe we’ll see you again if we return to visit.
Julie & Bob Rein – Sold in Redmond – 2012
Tony is the best real estate agent we have ever worked with! Whilst out for a coffee we stumbled across a house that seemed perfect for us. We called Tony, who squeezed us into his already hectic day, meeting us at the house we wanted to buy, where he provided instant access to key relevant data that together with Tony’s expert advice enabled us to make a competitive and attractive offer to the seller; 24 hrs later we had agreed to buy a new home.
Now we had to sell our home and quickly too! Tony provided detailed market analysis, drew up the marketing plan, showed us how to stage our home and used his network to help with the preparation of our home for sale. The day before the first showing, we were leaving for vacation and Tony put all the finishes touches in place whilst we were out of town. We sold in a little over one week and six weeks after the acceptance of our offer to buy, we had completed both transactions and moved. Extremely impressive given the current market.
Throughout the entire buying and selling process, you can rely upon Tony to look after your interests. Tony will provide expert advice, guide you through the process and keep you informed every step of the way. He will also check-in with you from time to time after the transactions close!
We had an excellent experience with Tony and if you are looking to buy a new home or sell your existing home, you will not find a better real estate agent.
Tony Rice & Leander Darwent-Rice – Purchased in Woodinville & Sold in Redmond – 2012
WOW, Tony – we can’t thank you enough! Our home sold quickly and for more than we hoped! Tony was always there for us, listening to our needs and understanding our desires. He always had our best interest at heart and we always knew where we stood with him. We would recommend Tony whole heartedly to anyone looking to buy or sell. We only wish he were here to help us in Palm Springs with our next move!
Janese & Gene White – Sold in Redmond – 2012
I just purchased my home in January of 2012 and I have got to say that I am so glad I had Tony as my real estate agent! Not only was he patient with me and my very specific real estate needs but he was really thorough with the negotiations with the bank. He went over and beyond my expectations for the process and communicated with me every step of the way. I always felt like I new what was happening and so there were no surprises. I will continue to recommend Tony to my friends for their real estate needs and will use Tony again in the future. Thanks again Tony, it was a pleasure doing business with you!
Dixie Bair – Purchased in Fall City – 2012
We just loved working with Tony in selling our home. Everything was handled in a professional manner and the communication was great. We were never left wondering what was happening during the whole process. Tony let us know what was happening through the whole process right down to when the final recording of the sale was complete. The online feedback system is very helpful to know what the reaction of the various potential buyers who came through. It was a pleasure working with Tony.
Debbie and Doug Bair – Sold in Redmond – 2012
Tony helped us buy our current home and sell our previous one. Through both transactions, he kept us well informed of all of the various timelines and deadlines and provided sound advise as we progressed from preparing and pricing our home through the offers and negotiations with the buyers/sellers. He was very responsive to our needs completed the sales quickly and efficiently. He did an outstanding job and we would recommend him to anyone considering buying or selling their home.
Chris and Naomi Pershing – Purchased & Sold in Redmond – 2012
Tony sold our home this January, in appalling weather, several inches of snow on the ground, in about a week. Buyers never saw the grass until after the deal was signed. We had 2 offers on the same day and he was able to finesse the price very close to our asking.
Tony was efficient & responsive on everything, he moved the process along quickly and professionally. Staying in constant touch, was huge and frequent updates appreciated. Tony’s flyers, video, marketing, specially the use of the available web media, were well above what you typical see, he makes your property stand out. His counsel on staging the house, prepping it and getting it ready for market, were all top notch.
John & Helen Macfarlane – Sold in Redmond – 2012

We recently utilized Tony Meier to assist us with the purchase of a rental house. As a real estate professional, Tony has an excellent knowledge of the market and provided us with exceptional service from house search to house closing. As our agent, he was very pro-active, responsive, trustworthy, and diligent.
Our purchase offer was accepted the night before we left on vacation to France. Tony arranged for the home inspection to take place while we were gone, and even provided us with a you-tube video of the final inspection. With Tony’s help, we were able to keep the process moving and close a day earlier than expected. He has also proved to be a valuable resource for contractor references as we make improvements to the home.
We have been very satisfied in all aspects of our experience and we would highly recommend Tony to anyone who has the need to purchase or sell real estate!!
John & Cindy Nelson
Purchased in Sheffield on English Hill in Redmond
Tony did a great job suggesting the right improvements and great contractors to make our home show best for our market. He did an excellent job taking photos and building a photo showcase and video to market our home that really made it shine. He did a great job helping us come to terms with the current market so we could set an appropriate price. The combination of these helped us generate a tremendous market response which resulted in a quick sale of the house all during a very distressed market.
Alex & Helen Tudor – Sold in Bothell – 2011
Thank you so much for all your help in selling our house. The whole experience was fantastic and we will recommend you to all our friends and family.
Heather and Merrick Hill – Sold in Bothell – 2011
Tony, you did a great job at communicating with us. Your responses were thorough and timely. You were very tactful at handling and calming these anxious first time home buyers! We greatly appreciate your services and will definitely recommend you to friends. Thank you again!!
Annie & Josh Owen – Purchased in Bothell – 2011
Tony did a great job helping me prepare my home for sale and strategizing a competitive price. He took exceptional photos that showed my home to its best advantage and remained positive and upbeat throughout the process. I very much appreciate his assistance and expertise. Thanks Tony!
Paula Worley – Sold in Redmond – 2011
Tony was recommended to us by our friends and he lived up to the expectation. He helped us sell our house as well as buy a new one. Through the entire process, he was very professional and patient. He was very knowledgeable about the area and the market. We looked at quite a few houses and throughout the process he stayed focused on our needs, gave us advice and gently nudged us along. Had he not been for him, we wouldn’t have bought our home which will absolutely love. We HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for the “BEST in the BUSINESS” to sell or buy their home! Tony, you truly have the customer’s best interest at heart from the moment you meet them until the job is done!
Thank you again for everything!
Priya Padmanabhan & Sundaram Narayanan – Sold in Issaquah & Purchased in Bellevue – 2011
I wanted to thank you for everything you did to support our family in this massive endeavor. I knew Wendy and I made the right choice in asking you to represent us after the first 5 minutes with you, back in May. Everything that has happened since then has done nothing but reinforce our decision. I appreciate your professionalism, knowledge, experience, honesty, and the simple fact that you always put our interests first. That gave Wendy and I a level of comfort that I didn’t think was possible in the selling/buying process. I truly could not have asked for anything more, and I thank you for this.
PS – We will absolutely recommend you at every opportunity!
Tim & Wendy Bechtel – Sold Bothell & Purchased in Redmond – 2011
We enlisted Tony’s services to buy a house in Woodinville and sell our house in Redmond. Throughout the process, Tony was extremely professional and virtually always available, in person, by phone, or by e-mail. He explained the processes of buying and selling very clearly and was helpful in many areas. He always had time when needed in critical situations. He helped us sell our house very quickly in a down market, and he was a great help in negotiating various aspects of both purchase and sale. We are very happy with our new house! We highly recommend Tony.
Kay Hofmeester & Lisa Cherian – Purchased in Woodinville and Sold in Redmond – 2011
Tony was by far the best real estate agent I have ever encountered. He exceeded my expectations in all aspects of the sale. His agressiveness and responsiveness to all of my needs were outstanding. I would highly recommend him to any prospective clients. Thanks again Tony, you truly are the best….
Steve Couey – Purchased in Woodinville – 2011
Tony, Your service level was great. You always answered my questions with honest answers. I was especially impressed with the people and companies that you recommended for getting the house ready to sell. They were professional and did what they said they would do when they said that they would do it. Thanks again Tony.
Dick Anderson and Dorothy Anderson – Sold in Bellevue – 2011
I met Tony a few years ago when I first considered selling my Bellevue home. I had asked three realtors for their input. Tony continued to follow up with friendly and useful mailings describing the general sales climate.
When we were again ready to sell, I had already determined that Tony was the right choice for me. Tony helped me with solid competitive data to price the home, advice on staging, helped me determine where and how much to invest in getting the home ready for sale, and he has a “stable” of very good specialists who helped me through the flurry of preparatory tasks.
When the home was ready to show, Tony used a professional photographer (Tony Meier) to create a still and video “virtual tour” of our home. It made our home look really, really good.
We listed the home on a Friday and had six full-price offers by Monday. We enjoyed a small bidding war that boosted our sales price up above our expectations. Escrow closed in a month.
Tony is a solid numbers guy; he pays attention to the details with excellent service to his clients, and he’s a very likeable guy. He helped focus us on the tasks that gave us the most “bang for the buck”.
Moving is a daunting task in today’s real estate market. Tony made it a lot easier. Thanks!
Dick & Linda Dievendorff – Sold in Bellevue – 2011
We hired Tony in August 2011 to sell our house in the English Hill neighborhood of Redmond, as we were moving out of state. We interviewed several real estate agents before deciding on Tony. Tony was well-prepared for our first meeting and came across as an friendly person with extensive knowledge of the neighborhood. We hit it off almost immediately.
This was the first time we were selling a house and Tony was a big help at every stage of the process. To begin with, he did a detailed walkthrough of the house and recommended repairs and modifications that would make the house more attractive to potential buyers. He even suggested paint colors! We could see that his suggestions were based on extensive experience and he was very mindful of their cost and benefit. While he made several suggestions, at no point did we feel like he was pushing us. The final decision was always left to us. Tony referred us to a very competent and reasonably priced staging company to make the house look warm, cozy and inviting.
Perhaps the most important decision when selling a house is choosing the price. Tony’s extensive experience with the neighborhood was very helpful in this regard. He helped us pick a price that struck the right balance between optimizing the value and selling the house quickly.
Once the repairs and staging were complete, Tony took high quality pictures and put together a HD video tour of the house which were hosted on his website. Also, he listed our house in all the major online real-estate websites. When we hired him, we had no idea that he was such an excellent photographer as well! He has a keen eye for picking the right angle to highlight the features of each room.
Thanks to Tony’s efforts, our house sold in 5 days! That too, in a down market, as we were heading into the holidays which is traditionally a slow period for real estate sales.
Once the house was on contract, Tony worked with the buyer and her agent to complete the sale as quickly as possible. A very demanding buyer made the transaction more difficult than it needed to be. However, Tony’s experience and negotiating skills helped move the process along. He referred an excellent contractor for post-inspection repairs and coordinated the work. This was a big help as we had, by then, moved out of state. Tony regularly followed up with the buyer’s agent to make sure the financing was coming along and kept us updated by email and phone. We must also commend Tony on picking a very helpful escrow agent who arranged for us to sign the papers out of state. And finally, Tony was the first to call and let us know when the house closed!
This has been a very educating experience for us, and we learned a lot from Tony in the process. It is a pity that he does not work in California. We would have loved to hire him to sell our next house!
In summary, Tony is diligent, meticulous and friendly. He has deep knowledge of the Eastside real estate market and has a great sense of humor. We are delighted to know him and are happy to recommend him.
Abdul & Sheheeda Nizar – Sold in Redmond – 2011
Tony Meier made sure that I was clearly informed throughout the 2 year search for my new home. I understood all my options and he helped me narrow down my choices. I appreciated his patience and perseverance, and his quick response. His knowledge and expertise were extremely valuable when I finally found a suitable place, and frankly I don’t think the deal would’ve happened without him. Tony never steered me wrong. I’m glad I had his insight and market knowledge working for me. Thanks, Tony!
Oliver Miyashita – Purchased in Kirkland – 2011
I contacted Tony from Spokane in hopes that he could help me find a new home on the west side. He found several places and e-mailed the information to me so that we would have a scheduled list to view when I came over. The only time I could come was on a weekend, and a holiday weekend at that. Tony took time out from his weekend to show me around. He was extremely helpful and spent a lot of time with me. I found a new home and he walked me through all the preliminaries. After I got back to Spokane, he continued to send me all the information needed, kept me fully informed as to how things were going, and even called to find out how the sale of my home there was going.
I appreciate all the time and care he took with me and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Katie Wandler – Purchased in Redmond – 2010
You were always at hand and available for any questions we had. We especially appreciated the manner in which our house was presented and marketed – you really made it look like a million bucks! The video presentation and slide show were tops. We were almost sorry to be selling! All in all, a pleasant experience.
Jim & Tamea Connell – Sold in Woodinville – 2010
Tony is incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of the home-buying process. He provides a calm, steady presence throughout that process — from planning a home purchase, to picking the right place to live, to making and finalizing the offer on the perfect place. We were amazed at how efficient the whole process was from start to finish in working with Tony, as his proactive approach had us ready for each phase in perfect timing. He referred us to top-notch resources for mortgage and home inspection, which was the icing on the cake to ensure an overall positive and efficient experience. Tony will guide you with a steady hand, proven knowledge, and timely advice — all with a personal touch!
Scott and Christy Bowen – Purchased in Bothell – 2010
My wife and I recently hired Tony to help us buy a house to start the next phase of our lives. He was fantastic, and a pleasure to work with. He handled our pickiness, had tons of knowledge about arcane home stuff that was incredibly useful in picking the right house, and did immense amounts of work while we were out of town to help us close on time. If you need a realtor in the Puget Sound area, you won’t go wrong with Tony – in fact you’ll be hard pressed to do better.
Pankaj Kakkar & Joyeeta Sarkar – Purchased in Sammamish – 2010
Thanks for helping us sell our home. We are very impressed with your real estate knowledge and expertise. You put together an extensive and successful advertising campaign and kept us totally up to date on the market trends and sales activities.
Jim and Therese Eby – Sold in Redmond – 2010
Tony and his team are more than real estate brokers – they are relationship builders who never stop after the sale. I have known Tony now for over 20 years and he continually stays in touch and top of mind with great newsletters on hot topics for improving your life and your home owning experience. I have since bought and sold several houses and have recommended them to many of my friends. They truly are the best at what they do.

We were very happy with the level of service you provided. You gave us great insight to the various areas we were looking at. Coming from out of state it was hard not knowing the market up here. You made it easy. Tony, you really earned our respect. You even found someone to show us around when we could only come up on a weekend you were out of town. You always returned my emails and calls promptly. I really liked the fact that you read into what we were looking for in a home. You knew the areas well and even gave pointers about the commute times I could face for work. I appreciate all that you did and would refer you to a friend or family member in the future. Thank you for everything!!!
Jennifer & Jeff Killingsworth – Purchased in Issaquah – 2009
Thank you so much for helping us with the sale of our English Hill home last fall. Living out of state, it was important for us to find a realtor who would pay attention to detail and do things for us that we couldn’t do from our location. Listing a home in this market was unsettling, but with your advice and input we were able to find a way to get it sold. Thanks again for the extra effort you put in from the moment we began the process all the way through the close.
Bridget and Jeff Dick – Sold in Redmond – 2009
Thank you so much for making our dream of owning a home once again come true. You are amazing, through all 15 homes we looked at, you hung in their with us. We are so grateful to you for showing us the home we finally settle on and purchased. We absolutely will recommend you to all our friends that may be looking for an agent… Knowing they will be as impressed with your professionalism and knowledge of the listings and areas, as well as all the details that are necessary for first time buyer’s and those who have already own their own home.
You made the search easy for us with all your much needed advise, patience and knowledge of what your customer’s want. You knew the first day we spoke with you what our needs where and picked up on our preferences the first time we went out looking. We were particularly impressed with your abilities to negotiate and get the best deal on the home we wanted.
Your keeping us informed through every aspect of the sale was so reassuring to us, especially when their was a glitch that we weren’t expecting. You handled it amazingly and walked us through it (basically holding our hands) through it all. As we said before, you are an amazing real estate agent and anyone looking to purchase a home would be absolutely blessed to have you as their agent. Thank you Tony for all your guidance, concern, advise and nurturing during the entire process. We appreciate you so much!
Jon and Sandi Sloboden – Purchased in Bothell – 2009
I was extremely satisfied with my experience with you Tony. Your approach to the initial marketing with the attention to details and honest approach to market placement was outstanding. The marketing follow up with internet, fliers and feed back was great. Keeping the seller, me, up to date was very important.
Your dedication to a professional and personal approach to real estate transactions is apparent and quite obviously led to success with a quick sale.
Once again, I appreciate the service you provided for my parents and myself in the selling of their home. I wish you continued success.

My husband Dow and I enthusiastically refer Tony to friends and acquaintances and encourage you to utilize his services. You will find in Tony a Realtor with experience, patience, empathy and perseverance.
We first met Tony when planning our first move to Seattle, back in 2000. Newly engaged, we were looking in a new city for our first house together. We were referred to Tony through a business contact, and Tony was kind enough to show us around the city. We honed in on West Seattle, an area far removed from Tony’s Eastside hub of Redmond, but never mind: Tony patiently showed us 60+ homes, almost exclusively in the West Seattle neighborhoods. When we finally alighted upon our house, Tony guided us through an effective, efficient purchasing process. We were proud owners of our first home!
When we decided to relocate back to the Seattle area after four years away, we immediately contacted Tony for help in finding our new home – this time on the Eastside! Our family status had changed by this point: we had a child and desired a good neighborhood, good school systems, and a community feel. Although we had lived for five years in Seattle, the Eastside was fairly foreign to us. Once again, Tony equipped us with the information we needed to identify and purchase a wonderful home in the West of Market neighborhood of Kirkland. We love our home and couldn’t be happier with the services Tony provided…and, he didn’t have to take us through 60+homes this go-round!
That’s not all, however. Since purchasing our home in March 2009, Tony has remained available for any questions regarding the home we might have, putting us in touch with professional and affordable craftsman who have made cosmetic improvements to our home, as well as reconnecting us to the original builder of the home for questions regarding installing a sprinkler system. At all times Tony is available, responsive, and above all, kind.
We strongly endorse Tony for any of your personal real estate needs. Please feel free to contact us with further questions you might have about him.

I wanted to say thank you so much for your help with our move. Moving almost 2000 miles is quite a move and you were there every step of the way. You were always in contact with us while we were in Texas helping us with any questions we had about the different areas in Seattle. Then when we came for our house hunting trip you even made a packet of the homes that we were going to visit for the kids so that they could follow along. That was great!! When we had to go back to Texas you were there for us, following up and making sure that the home owner had followed through with the things we needed done before closing. Not only were you there for the big things but also the little things such as getting us the name of a guy to clean our carpets prior to moving in. Having you as our realtor made this an easy process.

Tony made me feel very comfortable and confident that I was making the right choices in my purchase. I would recommend him for any real estate transactions.

If you are looking for an agent who has limited experience in the industry or who only does real estate on the side then look somewhere else. Tony is a Diamond level Real Estate Agent. There is no one better! Tony’s many years of experience in and knowledge of Real Estate come shining through during the entire home buying process. We are beyond thrilled with the way Tony facilitated the purchase and closing of our new home. My only regret during our interactions is that our sale was too quick and we won’t have the pleasure of his expertise any longer. After many years of looking and several other home transactions, we have finally found him, Tony is our real estate agent for life. We look forward to buying another home with him sometime in the future.
Kelsy and Grady – Purchased in Bellevue – 2009
Over the last two years I have had the opportunity to work with Tony as both a listing agent and a buyers representative. Given my experience, I cannot imagine working with anyone else to meet my Real estate needs. He provides the highest levels of service and gets the job done every time.
Kevin Hafer – Sold in Kirkland – 2009
If buying or selling a home is in your future, Tony will help you understand the current market and prepare you for success. He sold our home in 1 day and closed in 21 days using the very latest in internet marketing tools combined with traditional multiple listing services. We haven’t had such a pleasant real estate experience ever!
Ed & Tricia Hamman – Sold in Mountlake Terrace – 2008
Tony is by far the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. I first met him by recommendation when moving to Redmond in 1998. He was our agent when buying in a sellers market and helped me find a home in a reasonable time. Now in 2008 we are moving to the East Coast and in a buyers market Tony again helped us market our home and sell it in 13 days. We have been more than satisfied with the results. Tony has always been very professional and a joy to work with. He clearly understands the market and buying and selling process, and communicates very well. Tony gets my highest recommendation.
Bob (and Martha) Cottingham – Sold in Redmond (2nd time serving them) – 2008
Tony is a very creative and result oriented realtor! I was impressed when he sold me a house with his marketing, follow up and professionalism. I had no doubt he would do a great job if I had to sell my house in the very tough market that it is today.
Tony delivered instant results…he is very clear about what will work and what will not. He follows up very well. He has a great set of referrals who come through for him, finally, Tony is very well versed in modern technology and uses it to great effect. We sold our house in 3 days over the list price with multiple offers in a down market!
Anantha (and Laurence) Kancherla – Sold in Redmond – 2008
We had the good fortune to be referred by a friend to Tony Meier when we were looking for our first house in Woodinville. He impressed us most because he was everything our other agent for our previous house was not.
Tony was totally on top of the market and very quickly knew just what we were looking for. Not an easy task I’m sure because we didn’t think we a clue what we were looking for. He made the whole search fun and interesting. We quickly found a house to our liking and Tony guided us through the process and kept us informed of all the steps along the way. He has since helped us sell that house at a handsome profit, buy another house, sell that house in 3 days at another very good profit and referred us to another great agent who helped us find our current house on Bainbridge Island. He kept in the loop on that one too. So all in all there were 5 transactions in 4 short years that Tony was vital in the successful completion of. We never had a moment’s concern about what we should do or what the other party should do – Tony was there every step of the way making sure everything went smoothly and completed on time and to our satisfaction.
Tony is someone I could trust to be tuned in to the market and to help us make the best most informed decisions all along the process from the first tentative searching to the closing. In this current downturn of the market, we felt like he really had our backs. He is gracious, fun, savvy and very intent on knowing the real estate market inside and out. It’s an unbeatable combination.

Tony brings a wealth of real estate experience to the table; is very personable and comes with a high level of integrity, honesty and trushworthiness. A lovely gentlemen. Highly recommended.
Saumil Gandhi – Purchased in Issaquah – 2007
My husband and I have known Tony Meier for over 5 years. During that time we discussed investing in residential rental properties and ultimately purchase two rental properties. We also bought a new home for us in 2003 and sold our old home in 2005. His knowledge and experience guided us through each of the processes very smoothly. Tony’s coaching made us feel comfortable to become landlords for the first time. The benefits to financially have been considerable. We would recommend him to anyone with confidence that they would receive the same level of service that we received. I would be happy to speak with anyone who is currently interviewing agents.

I have known Tony for about a year and he helped my wife and I buy a home in 2006. There were problems with the sale, Tony went above and beyond to not only manage my wife’s stress throughout the process, but also to have the sale close on time. I will use Tony again in the future and feel absolutely confident in his abilities to handle any referrals I would send him.
Dr. Josh Winslow, D.C. – Purchased in Bothell – 2006
I have had the distinct pleasure of buying and selling three properties with Tony Meier. He has consistently provided me with excellent service from beginning to end. Tony has a unique way of making you feel like you are his only client when you are working with him. His attention to detail, depth of market knowledge and business savvy give you the piece of mind as potential buyer/seller knowing that you are in the best of hands throughout the whole process.
I was tickled pink at the maximized value that Tony helped me achieve on the sale of my townhouse in Woodinville. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about what a pleasure it has been working with Tony throughout my real estate investments.
Nichole Werner – Purchased in Woodinville & Seattle, Sold in Woodinville & Seattle – 2006
Tony came over to our home and went over through the entire process of what we would have to do to sell our home. My wife and I can’t say enough good things about this man and the way he goes about his job. Tony took care of all the details even when little glitches came up during the process. If you are thinking of selling now or in the near future, please consider giving a call to Tony.
Frank and Margo Delbovo – Sold in Bellevue, Purchased in Federal Way – 2006
We’re back from vacation now, and wanted to express our satisfaction with the way you have handled the sale of our property. As you know, being a small builder, we’ve had a chance to work with several local real estate agents. We both feel that our association with you as our realtor went well, as we have no hesitation in recommending you as a first rate agent. During the lengthy negotiations of the several offers, you showed yourself to be an effective and competent professional. You were always attentive to detail, and provided advice when asked. We both feel that your diligence was a major factor in the successful closing of our transaction. We would expect to ask you to represent us again at a future listing
