I really enjoyed working with Shelli. She was very responsive to any inquiries and great at follow up. We had a house to sell for an estate and she helped us to get the property sold very quickly.

Anna Riling from Northwest Reality did an outstanding job of selling our cottage in the Baldwin area. She worked closely with us before listing and during the sales process. She went above and beyond when a storm came through and a tree landed on our deck. She was able to arrange for a local tree contractor to remove the tree for the showings despite them being very busy due to the storm. She kept us informed all throughout the closing process. This is the second time with used Anna and Northwest Reality and highly recommend them.

We had Chris come out and appraise our property. He was very polite. And got back with us the next day with a quote. I would recommend them to anyone.
