“Amber was a dream to work with! As an out-of-state buyer with a strong point of view on house features but flexibility on location, budget, and moving timeline, I appreciated Amber's wealth of knowledge in the Seattle area and honest feedback about the pros and cons of the neighborhoods I was looking in (which was just about every neighborhood in the greater Seattle area). She was always happy to video tour a house as a moment's notice, and provided timely, fact-based guidance on a rapidly changing market. When I settled on a house I liked, she moved with great urgency, coordinating negotiations and written offers even while on vacation over the holiday season. Amber remained available via text and phone call even after my home purchase, providing resources for a first-time homeowner and even opining on the occasional interior design question. She's a great person to have in your corner and I can't recommend her enough.”

“Ian helped us buy our house and sell our condo in 2021. He was *beyond* helpful—we had little idea of what we wanted in our new place, other than more space. He took us on tours of different neighborhoods and styles of houses to hone our wants/needs list. And when it came to offers, he educated us on what would make our offer the best, and we got the second house we placed an offer on, during a VERY difficult housing market. On top of it all, he is just an all-around delightful person that made the experience very positive. I recommend him to everyone I know who is house-searching.”

“Amber was absolutely incredible to work with. She recently helped my husband and I purchase a home and we can’t recommend her enough. Her endless knowledge, upbeat attitude, commitment to understanding not just what we want but what we need, and her dedication to finding us the perfect fit while staying under budget made our home buying experience. Amber is not only the best out there, but she’s also wonderful to spend time with. She was committed to answering our questions, helping in any way she could, and making our experience as smooth as possible. She absolutely went above and beyond, and anybody would be lucky to work with her!”

“I have known, worked with and become good friends with Ian since 2014 when I first moved to Seattle from the Northeast and he helped me find just the sort of rental apartment I had in mind, close to everything with sweeping views of Elliott Bay. When I decided to buy, Ian found me just the sort of large condo I had in mind, high up in a Capitol Hill high-rise building with great views over downtown. Ian not only made the purchase seamless, but then oversaw the condo’s renovation and smoothed out any issues that arose. Similarly, a few months later with Ian’s guidance and help, I purchased a second condo in the same building as a rental unit. Over the years, I’ve purchased homes in several states in the US as well as overseas. Ian is far away the best realtor I’ve ever worked with!”

“Amber is the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. I am in the housing industry so I’ve worked with quite a few. Not only is she helpful and conscientious but she continues to be supportive after the purchase of the house. She’s knowledgeable and hard working. She is always willing to lend a hand in whatever way needed. We couldn’t be happier with everything she’s done and continues to do for us. She’s just awesome.”

“Ian has undoubtedly been the best part of our home buying experience. As out of town buyers we relied heavily on his knowledge of the Seattle metro area. With little time or experience on our part Ian was able to find us the perfect home in the best neighborhood, and negotiated a sale we could be proud of. Thank you to Ian and his team for their hard work and dedication to their clients!”

“My experience having Amber as my realtor was extraordinary. As a first time home buyer, she was incredibly professional and always thoroughly answered my questions and addressed any concerns about the house we were viewing. She quickly learned my wants and needs for a home, making showings less stressful and time consuming. She made the entire process so easy and smooth! After I purchased my home, she provided me with numerous resources for furniture, repairs, remodeling, and todos for quickly settling into my new home. I can't stress how amazing she is as a realtor and I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to buy.”

“Ian is my hero. Anyone who has searched for real estate in the last few years, especially on the west coast, knows that it is tough. It is not a market for amateurs and Ian is anything but. He does the leg, the ground, the dirty, and any other kind of work it takes to get his clients what they deserve. If you want an old school agent who thinks its their job to earn your business but also someone who knows the best strategies to stay ahead of the game, Ian is it. We had given up on our dream neighborhood after years of searching, less than two months with Ian and we now call it home. If you're been burned before or afraid of jumping into the market, do yourself a favor and call Ian. ”

“Amber worked with us to find our first home. This was not an easy feat considering we bought right in the heat of the 2021 surge. Despite the competitive market, she found us a place that suited our needs and fell firmly within our price range. She is incredibly knowledgeable, unbelievably responsive, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I can not recommend her enough”

“When moving to a new town, I think most will agree that things can feel daunting and overwhelming. But not if you have Ian in your corner! Working with Ian and his team took so much stress out of our move. His cheerful disposition and calm and patient demeanor helped us navigate through the ups and downs of the buying process. He helped tamp down our panic attacks and decipher the small print. He took the time to get to know us and really helped steer us in the right direction. We are so grateful to have met Ian and we would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for their perfect home.”

“Amber was a pleasure to work with when my husband and I bought our first house in Seattle. Our entire buying process went much faster than originally anticipated and Amber was with us for every step. She was extremely knowledgeable about the neighborhoods we were interested in and moved quickly when we made our decision. Amber was also very responsive to every text and phone call— I never felt like I was ever waiting on her for anything major or minor with our home. I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Amber to any first time or repeat homebuyer.”

“Do yourself a favor and contact Ian---he is simply the best! He was such a wonderful person to work with through the home buying process. As first time home buyers we had no idea what we were doing, and he was our patient and persistent guide throughout the whole process. He is also a genuine and fun person, and he makes the process less stressful overall. We couldn't be more pleased with how amazing it was to work with him!!”
