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 til 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.

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!

Our experience with Tony was fantastic. We were a remote sale and Tony made everything happen quickly and efficiently. His advice and suggestions were right on and helped us get a good deal on our house sale. Over and above on special requests!  Thanks Tony!

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 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.

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.

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.

Hongtao and Judy
Sold in Redmond  – July 2018

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!

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

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.

We made the right choice in selecting Tony Meier, to sell our English Hill home.  His personal attention, professionalism, communication, and attention to detail were key in getting our home sold in late November, in only five days for more than the list price!  Tony, is truly a credit to his profession, and we highly recommend him.

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!

I’ve been in the mortgage industry for over 2 decades.  Tony Meier, without a doubt, was spot on with his advice, recommendations, removed all roadblocks and was a true professional.  I would not hesitate to call Tony again whether I was buying or selling.  Thanks Tony!

Thank you, Tony and Wendi, for being our agents. The process went so smoothly with you answering all our questions and responding to all of our questions and requests promptly – we felt confident in your skills and your experience and trusted you would take care of us, which you did.

My husband Michael and I felt it very important to let everyone know who might be thinking of listing their home or purchasing a new home our experience with Tony and Wendi Meier.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

Diane and Walt Freytag – Sold in Redmond (English Hill) and Purchased in Redmond (Trilogy)  – 2016

I am very satisfied with the support I got from Tony and his team. The pre-sale of the home and how best to position it for sale, was instrumental in the success we had at closing. I would recommend Tony and Windermere to anyone looking to buy/sell a home in the English Hill area.

Mike Hemphill – 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

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.

(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

 

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!

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!”

1. Ask about the “kiss of death” when selling a home. This is the single biggest mistake that will cost you dearly, and want to avoid!
2. Ask about the type of market data that the realtor uses to gauge supply, demand, and absorption. Ask how the data will help in the sales process.
3. Ask them why they are best qualified to represent your price range and neighborhood.
4. Ask them to prove that they are not spread too thin and you will get maximum attention from them.
5. Ask details about their home marketing process, and the most common mistakes made by average realtors. Ask them to show you good and bad samples of videos and pictures.
6. Ask them insights on dealing with offers, and the negotiation process.
7. Ask them to describe the most difficult situations that they have encountered when selling a home, and what were the lessons.
8. Ask them about the strength of their Rolodex. A great realtor will have referrals for several exceptional contractors.
9. Ask them one clear key reason why clients like them.

On all these points, we felt Tony Meier met or exceeded our needs!

Thanks!

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I can recommend Tony without reservation. I bought my house in Sammamish through Tony and 6 years later sold it. His advise in both cases was sound. We had no problem setting a asking price after consulting various data about recent home sales. More importantly for me was the service and help Tony provided during the sales process. I was in the midst of relocating to California and on several occasions needed things taken care of there in Sammamish while I was out of state. I was able to trust many critical details to Tony who handled them in a timely and professional manner. By the way my home sold in one day for an asking price much higher than I expected.
