We honestly cannot say enough good things about Rob. After searching for a home for over a year and feeling like our agent wasn't really going to bat for us, we met with Rob. His knowledge of the market past and present assured us that we would find a home in this crazy time and sure enough, with his expert help we did a few weeks later. Rob was in constant communication with us through the buying and selling of our homes. His personal touch and rapport building is unparalleled and he has instantly become one of our favorite people. We are so thankful we were introduced to Rob and will

Rob and his team were fantastic! They were communicative, offered great advice, and were the best guides we could have asked for in our first home buying process. We had an incredibly fast transaction and went from first house tour to closing in just over 3 weeks. Through the whole process, Rob and his team were sure to check in multiple times throughout the week to proactively ensure we were always working in the right direction for an on-time close. Where we were truly impressed is with Rob's negotiation skills. He pulled multiple rabbits out of the hat and was ultimately able to land us

"Rob was excellent to work with, our transaction went smoothly and he made all the deadlines we had to meet in order to close our property on time. His team is great with emailing and keeping you update during the week with what has been accomplished and what remains. If you are looking for someone not only experienced but professional and sensible Rob is your agent. "

I have had many experiences with real estate agents and transactions. Rob is hands down the best agent I have ever worked with. He went above and beyond to make everything work for my extremely busy schedule. He found the house of my dreams after two visits to properties. He gave excellent advise about pricing and offers and has a level of transparency that I appreciate about fees and services that is exceptional. After winning the bidding war, he continued to have excellent communication with me. He also took care of a few outstanding house issues without me even asking and without charging me

I normally don't write reviews on sites, but felt I had to share about our amazing experience working with Crystal Atkinson. We just completed the purchase of our 2nd home in Seattle, and Crystal was a FANTASTIC realtor for us throughout the process. Market Knowledge - We knew nothing about the West Seattle market, and her level of insight and knowledge was critical in us honing in on specific neighborhoods and houses. When she planned our viewings with her, she guided us through the pros and cons of the area, and also took the opinions we shared to refine her searches, and also advise us
