By: Tony MeierRedmond Realtor How Much Should I Offer? I am often asked by my clients, “How much under the listing price should we offer?” This is an excellent question. The answer is difficult.

When you review and study 40 - 60 (or more!) listings, then drive by 10 - 20 and look...

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.

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...

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. -...

If you are thinking of selling now or in the near future, please consider giving a call to Tony. Frank and...

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 had a cross-country move and Tony made sure we knew what was happening every step of the way! The move was tough enough by itself, but it would have been even harder without Tony’s help.

Mark Engbaum and Renee Korsmo - Sold in Bellevue, Purchased in...

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...

Thanks for making our first home purchase so fun and easy. Lisa and Mark Pearson - Purchased in...

Buying a home from 3,000 miles away, on a limited budget, and in unfamiliar territory, Tony had his work cut out for himself when helping us find our home.

Tony worked very hard in helping to make our home buying process as easy for us as possible. He was, without fail, very quick with every follow-through and request that presented itself. The first session with him was a great learning experience as he spent a great deal of time explaining what we would go through and how we should handle various situations. The Windermere written materials were a wonderful...

We chose Tony after reading an earlier recommendation at Microsoft. Tony tailored house searches for us, which we received in our inbox every morning. He was very quick in replying to our requests for additional information on the properties Tony showed us houses both in the Eastside and in Seattle, and he was knowledgeable on both areas, and was able to help us weigh the pros and cons of both areas....

Just wanted to say thanks for all of your help with the purchase of my new home. I absolutely love it! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than working with you.

I will be sending clients your way. Thank you,...

I appreciate the consistent professionalism, no-nonsense approach to negotiations, and conclusion of the transaction. Jackson Mueller - Purchased & Sold in...

I had worked with Tony before when he helped me purchase my first house. A couple of months later, I contacted him again, this time to help sell a property that my parents owned in Seattle. Our experience with the first agent we’d hired was very negative, and when I talked to Tony, I was happy to realize that his services weren’t limited to the Eastside, and he works within a 20-30 mile radius, so he...

We just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and help to us in buying our first new home. We are thankful to Melinda for referring you to us! We were very pleased with our experience and will recommend you with flying colors if we know someone in the market! We are really enjoying our new place and are pleased with our decision to buy it. Thanks again for everything Tony! Robin and Per Jones -...

Having never done this before, I can’t think of anything that would have made it better. It was very easy and met, if not exceeded, my expectations. As a first time home buyer, I was nervous about the process and anxious about doing it on my own. Your helpful guidance and grounded approach made it easier than I ever imagined it could be! I want to thank you for the time you spent educating me about the...

From the beginning, I felt very comfortable, as Tony went over the entire process with me. I was very specific in what I wanted, and he never once tried to show me something that didn’t fit my description. In fact, every morning, there’d be a number of listings in my inbox that matched my criteria, and then I’d usually give him a call, and we’d see the properties that I chose. It took us a while to...

Tony Meier came to my attention through my employer, as he was the realtor who assisted many of our new employees with the purchase of their new homes during their relocation to Seattle. Because Tony was so successful in satisfying our new hires, I decided to have him help me buy my first home. Without a doubt, he is the most patient, smart and energetic realtor I have ever met. Very quickly I found the...

I’ve known Tony for many years, almost since I moved to Seattle in 1993. When Maria and I decided to buy our first home, we called Tony. After talking with us and evaluating our needs and wish list, Tony assisted us in finding our perfect home in less than a week. What’s more, Tony’s professional contacts and knowledge of the market allowed us to close in less than 2 weeks. Tony is a one-stop shop....

Professionalism, promptness, and proven results are some of the qualities that impressed me the most about Tony. He kept me informed about what he was doing and how the sale of the house was going. There was never a time when I was wondering what was happening. I thought it was especially great that Tony put together a new buyers handbook for prospective buyers, containing information about the surrounding...

Tony has been very helpful and informative in our search for a home. He is open to suggestions and takes our concerns seriously.

Kathy and I enjoyed the home buying experience you provided us. This was our second home and our goal was a family home that is close to work.

I enjoyed seeing the full use of technology from the electronic home searches you did for us to the e-mail and digital pictures. The thing we were most...

Over the years I have dealt with many brokers who were only looking out for themselves. With Tony I felt a sincere and genuine desire interest on his part for what was best for me. If I ever buy or sell a home again, I will call Tony Meier. With him on my team, I know I will get the best deal possible and in the shortest possible time. He is the kind of Realtor that can restore one’s faith in the...

We had intended to meet with 3 realtors to pick one. You were the first we met with and we knew you were the one we wanted to work with immediately. That first meeting where you took the time to understand our needs and likes and dislikes left us feeling like WOW! This is going to be a great experience. You exceeded our expectations when it came to being our advocate: someone who was strong and wouldn’t...

Tony Meier gave us better service that we could have imagined. From choosing the right house, in the right area, for our family, through all the paperwork and making sure we had settled in, he could not have done more. His help was especially valuable because we moved here from the UK and did not know the Seattle area at all. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Susan and Nick McCooke - Purchased...

We had only a week to buy a home and our friends thought were crazy. With Tony this process was not only possible, it was actually enjoyable! Tony was professional, on top of things, honest and a pleasure to work with. He was there every step of the way from the inspection to the closing. Even after everything was finalized, Tony kept in contact with us to make sure we were happy with the house and to...

Tony’s advice on staging and pricing our home was extremely helpful and right on target. We would have been lost without his help in choosing the best offer from those on the table. Fortunately, no problems came up—but had we encountered them, we felt we were in capable hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Tony Meier Tony and Tina Monsaas - Sold in...

Tony is not only a skilled, creative and successful professional, he is consistently warm and upbeat!. Tony really cares about the people that he works with. Alan Donaldson,...

We panicked when we couldn’t find a renter for our home in Bothell, and after two months of double mortgage payments, decided we needed to sell. The problem was we had moved to Tucson so we weren’t there to handle the details. Tony and his assistant Laura listed the house on a Friday, and we had a buyer by the next day. During the approval process, they arranged for small repairs and took care of...

From our first contact with Tony Meier through the closing of our new home, Tony was an invaluable source of information, advice and help. Acting as our agent he was dedicated, patient and exhibited a sense of humor which eased the tensions that seem to be inherent in real estate transactions. He was always available for quick advice and always had time to show us yet another house. Tony Meier is extremely...

We found Tony to be a very good agent.  He is very knowledgeable in all areas concerning a purchase or sale.  He never failed to follow up on an inquiry we had.  He was very patient as we viewed over 30 homes and were given information on over 100 homes for sale.  Even after our purchase, Tony kept in touch and provided recommendations for professionals in the area.  We found Tony very professional...

Working with Tony to buy my house couldn’t have been better. He knows what he is doing and either has the answer or knows how to find it.

Tony was always there for us when ever we had questions or concerns. The service he gave us was more than we expected from an agent. If asked to recommend a real estate agent, we would have no qualms in recommending Tony Meier. One would have to go a long way to find a more professional and dedicated team than Tony Meier. Tom & Janet Miller - Sold in...

Our home sold in 2 days and during this hectic period, Tony was constant in his detail. Even after all documents were legalized, he continued to facilitate any and all questions we had.
