Seattle, a city on Puget Sound in the Pacific Northwest, is surrounded by water, mountains and evergreen forests, and contains thousands of acres of parkland. Washington State&rsquo;s largest city, it&rsquo;s home to a large tech industry, with Microsoft and Amazon headquartered in its metropolitan area. The futuristic Space Needle, a 1962 World&rsquo;s Fair legacy, is its most iconic landmark.
Seattle has a history of boom-and-bust cycles, like many other cities near areas of extensive natural and mineral resources. Seattle has risen several times economically, then gone into precipitous decline, but it has typically used those periods to rebuild solid infrastructure.
The first such boom, covering the early years of the city, rode on the lumber industry. During this period the road now known as Yesler Way won the nickname "Skid Road," supposedly after the timber skidding down the hill to Henry Yesler's sawmill. The later dereliction of the area may be a possible origin for the term which later entered the wider American lexicon as Skid Row. Like much of the American West, Seattle saw numerous conflicts between labor and management, as well as ethnic tensions that culminated in the anti-Chinese riots of 1885&ndash;1886. This violence originated with unemployed whites who were determined to drive the Chinese from Seattle (anti-Chinese riots also occurred in Tacoma). In 1900, Asians were 4.2% of the population. Authorities declared martial law and federal troops arrived to put down the disorder.
Seattle had achieved sufficient economic success that when the Great Seattle Fire of 1889 destroyed the central business district, a far grander city-center rapidly emerged in its place. Finance company Washington Mutual, for example, was founded in the immediate wake of the fire. However, the Panic of 1893 hit Seattle hard.

Shoreline is a city in King County, Washington, United States. It is located between the city limits of Seattle and the Snohomish County border, approximately 9 miles (14 km) north of Downtown Seattle. As of the 2010 census, the population of Shoreline was 53,007, making it the 20th largest city in the state; by 2019, the population had risen to an estimated 57,027. Based on per capita income, one of the more reliable measures of affluence, Shoreline ranks 91st of 522 areas in the state of Washington to be ranked.

Edmonds is a city in Snohomish County, Washington, United States. It is located in the southwest corner of the county, facing Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains to the west. The city is part of the Seattle metropolitan area and is located 15 miles (24 km) north of Seattle and 18 miles (29 km) southwest of Everett. With a population of 39,709 residents in the 2010 U.S. census, Edmonds is the third most populous city in the county. The estimated population in 2019 was 42,605. Edmonds was established in 1876 by logger George Brackett, who bought the land claim of an earlier settler. It was incorporated as a city in 1890, shortly before the arrival of the Great Northern Railway. Early residents of the city were employed by the shingle mills and logging companies that operated in the area until the 1950s. The hills surrounding Edmonds were developed into suburban bedroom communities in the mid-to-late 20th century and subsequently annexed into the city. Edmonds is a regional hub for the arts, with museums, specialized facilities, and major annual festivals within the city's downtown area. The city is connected to nearby areas by two state highways and the state ferry system, which operates a ferry route to Kingston on the Kitsap Peninsula. Public transit service in Edmonds is centered around the downtown train station, served by Amtrak and Sounder commuter trains, and includes several Community Transit bus routes that travel through outlying neighborhoods.

Edmonds

Lake Forest Park is a suburban city in King County, Washington, United, located northeast of Seattle. It was developed in the 20th century as a bedroom community with single-family housing on medium to large-sized lots. Less than 4% of the city's land is zoned commercial, largely concentrated in one location, and there are no industrial areas. The city is situated at the northwest end of Lake Washington along State Route 522, which provides connections to Seattle and Bothell. Lake Forest Park includes several parks and nature reserves, access to the Burke&ndash;Gilman Trail, and organized summer events. The population was 12,598 at the 2010 census.

Lake Forest Park

Kirkland is a city in King County, Washington, United States. A suburb east of Seattle, its population was 93,010 in a 2019 census estimate, which made it the sixth largest city in the county and the thirteenth largest in the state. The city's downtown waterfront has restaurants, art galleries, a performing arts center, public parks, beaches, and a collection of public art, primarily bronze sculptures. Kirkland was the original home of the Seattle Seahawks; the NFL team's headquarters and training facility were located at the Lake Washington Shipyard (now Carillon Point) along Lake Washington for their first ten seasons (1976&ndash;85), then at nearby Northwest University through 2007. Warehouse chain Costco previously had its headquarters in Kirkland. While Costco is now headquartered in Issaquah, the city is the namesake of its "Kirkland Signature" store brand.

Kirkland

Lynnwood&nbsp;is a city in&nbsp;Snohomish County, Washington, United States. The city is part of the&nbsp;Seattle metropolitan area&nbsp;and is located 16 miles (26&nbsp;km) north of&nbsp;Seattle&nbsp;and 13 miles (21&nbsp;km) south of&nbsp;Everett, near the junction of&nbsp;Interstate 5&nbsp;and&nbsp;Interstate 405. It is the fourth-largest city in Snohomish County, with a population of 35,836 in the&nbsp;2010 U.S. census.
Lynnwood is a&nbsp;suburban&nbsp;bedroom community&nbsp;for Seattle, Everett and&nbsp;Bellevue. It has one of the largest concentrations of retailers in the region, anchored by the&nbsp;Alderwood Mall&nbsp;and businesses along major streets. The city also has a&nbsp;community college, a&nbsp;convention center, and a major&nbsp;transit center, located in the developing&nbsp;city center.
The Lynnwood area was logged and settled by&nbsp;homesteaders&nbsp;in the late 19th century and early 20th century, including the development of&nbsp;Alderwood Manor&nbsp;as a planned farming community. Lynnwood, named for the wife of a realtor, emerged in the late 1940s around the intersection of&nbsp;Highway 99&nbsp;and 196th Street Southwest. The city was&nbsp;incorporated&nbsp;on April 23, 1959, and grew into a suburban hub in the years following the completion of Interstate 5 and Interstate 405. Alderwood Mall opened in 1979 and spurred the transformation of eastern Lynnwood into a retail and office district.

Lynnwood

Renton is a city in King County, Washington, and a suburb of Seattle. Situated 11 miles (18 km) southeast of downtown Seattle, Renton straddles the southeast shore of Lake Washington, at the mouth of the Cedar River. After a long history as an important salmon fishing area for Native Americans, Renton was first settled by people of European descent in the 1860s. Its early economy was based on coal mining, clay production, and timber export. Today, Renton is best known as the final assembly point for the Boeing 737 family of commercial airplanes, but it is also home to a growing number of well known manufacturing, technology, and healthcare organizations, including Boeing Commercial Airplanes Division, Paccar, Kaiser Permanente, IKEA, Providence Health &amp; Services, UW Medicine, and Wizards of the Coast. As of 2019, the population of Renton is estimated at 101,751,[6] up from 90,927 at the 2010 census. Renton is currently the eighth-largest city in Washington and the fourth-largest in King County. Since 2008, the National Football League's Seattle Seahawks have had a training facility in Renton, the Virginia Mason Athletic Center (VMAC), which is the second-largest facility in the NFL at 200,000 square feet (19,000 m2).

Bellevue is a city in Washington state, across Lake Washington from Seattle. Downtown Park has a large lawn, gardens and a waterfall. Nearby, the Bellevue Arts Museum features craft and design exhibitions, plus a sculpture garden. The Bellevue Botanical Garden highlights Pacific Northwest plants, and includes woodlands and wetlands. KidsQuest Children&rsquo;s Museum has interactive science, tech and art exhibitions.
Bellevue lies between&nbsp;Lake Washington&nbsp;to the west and the smaller&nbsp;Lake Sammamish&nbsp;to the east. Much of Bellevue is drained by the&nbsp;Kelsey Creek&nbsp;watershed, whose source is located in the Larsen Lake and&nbsp;Phantom Lake&nbsp;green belt&nbsp;and whose outlet is near where&nbsp;Interstate 90&nbsp;meets Lake Washington's eastern shore. The city is bisected by&nbsp;Interstate 405&nbsp;running north&ndash;south, and the southern portion is crossed from west to east by Interstate 90. The&nbsp;State Route 520&nbsp;freeway roughly delineates the upper reaches of Bellevue.
According to the&nbsp;United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 36.47 square miles (94.46&nbsp;km2), of which 31.97 square miles (82.80&nbsp;km2) is land and 4.50 square miles (11.65&nbsp;km2) is water. The city's name is derived from a&nbsp;French&nbsp;term for "beautiful view". Under favorable weather conditions, scenic vistas of the&nbsp;Olympic Mountains&nbsp;and&nbsp;Cascade Mountains can be viewed from hilltops (and strategically positioned high-rise buildings) within the incorporated city. South of I-90, the city continues up&nbsp;Cougar Mountain, at the top of which is an unincorporated King County location called Hilltop. To the west of Cougar Mountain, Bellevue includes the&nbsp;Coal Creek, Somerset, and&nbsp;<a href="\" title="Factoria, Bellevue">Factoria</a>&nbsp;neighborhoods.
Bellevue is bordered by the cities of&nbsp;Kirkland&nbsp;to the north and&nbsp;Redmond&nbsp;to the northeast along the&nbsp;Overlake&nbsp;and&nbsp;Crossroads&nbsp;neighborhoods. Across the short&nbsp;East Channel Bridge, I-90 connects Bellevue to&nbsp;Mercer Island&nbsp;to the southwest.&nbsp;Issaquah&nbsp;is to the east, down I-90 at the south end of Lake Sammamish. The city is bordered to the west by many affluent suburbs such as&nbsp;Medina,&nbsp;Clyde Hill,&nbsp;Hunts Point&nbsp;and&nbsp;Yarrow Point. The south end of Bellevue is bordered by the city of&nbsp;Renton, and to the southeast, the relatively recently incorporated city of&nbsp;Newcastle.

Missy is very experienced and helpful. She is responsive-easy to get a hold of-day or night. She was able to sell out old home in three days while working with us on a purchase of our new home. We enjoyed working with Missy.

We enjoyed working with Missy!

Kristen obviously recognizes a central axiom of good customer service: if you focus on providing great service, the rest (i.e. the commission) will take care of itself. She was approachable, knowledgeable (especially about the area, which wasn't on her home turf, demonstrating to me her overall familiarity with the Seattle-Tacoma real estate market in general, and the area where we were searching in particular), responsive to our questions and focused on helping us find exactly the sort of house we were looking for (and frequently raised questions we ourselves hadn't really begun to ask- so she was just as good at helping us find things we weren't looking for!). Lastly, she helped de-mystify the entire process from initial scouting through to our closing date, and make it as painless as possible! If you're looking for a home in the Seattle-Tacoma area, I recommend Kristen Cramer without reservation or qualification. She's a great realtor!

Highly likely to recommend

We've bought and sold 5 houses. This was by far our best experience. Lisa was a great listener, was very responsive, and helped us a lot with making our decision and negotiating the price. 

The sellers weren't very responsive about correcting the items that they said they would correct, so Lisa went above and beyond to make sure everything was completed by the deadlines. 

In all, we couldn't be more pleased. She is patient, a good listener, insightful, honest, and a joy to work with! 


We couldn't be more pleased!

Joseph helped us purchase a duplex, and prepare it for sale when the time came. He also helped us with the purchase of a new multi-family unit. He is very experienced and knowledgeable, and has a lot of patience. Altogether, I can highly recommend Joseph both for purchasing and selling real estate, and we will certainly make use of his services in the future.

He is very experienced and knowledgeable

My spouse and I bought our first home, all thanks to Erika! We knew nothing about the buying process and Erika helped us every step of the way. She found us great homes to look at, she either knew or would find out the answers to all our questions. Erika is delightful to work with. She is organized, timely and positive. I could not have asked for more!

She is organized, timely and positive!

Working with Andrea was great, and we couldn't be happier with our new home! My wife and I are first time homebuyers, so naturally we had a lot of questions. Andrea was very patient and answered all of our questions, and made sure we felt good about the whole process. When looking at homes she always pointed out both the good and bad features, and we never felt like she was trying to pressure or rush us. We definitely recommend working with her.• Working with Andrea was great, and we couldn't be happier with our new home!

Claudine Fleury is by far one of the most professional and conscientious agent . She is hardworking and knowledgable and she takes the time to listen and always provide valuable advice. It is very comforting to know that she always has my best interest in mind and is generous with her time and effort to help me as her client. She is responsive ,dedicated, capable and honest which makes her the exact type of individual I trust to handle my financial interest . I believe people who get to work with Claudine are very fortunate to have her on their side to be their advocate and expert.

One Of The Most Professional And Conscientious Agent!

We love Love LOVED working with Lara. My wife and I reached out to Lara early in our home-shopping process, before we even knew what we really wanted. Lara was incredibly patient, showing us around several houses and helping us understand tradeoffs. She wasn't pushy or aggressive, and responded to our needs. On our second outing with Lara, we surprised ourselves by getting seriously interested in a house before we had been planning to make a bid. As such, we weren't ready. Over the course of 48 hours, Lara gave us all the ins and outs on how to make a bid, scheduled and completed an inspection with a trusted party, provided helpful guidance on the house itself, and assisted us in putting in a competitive bid. After we lost, Lara was dogged in helping us to find our home, taking us each of the next six weeks--usually on the weekend or after work--to find a place. She was amazingly responsive, forwarding us listings, responding to emails, giving us rides when needed, talking to us late at night as we were figuring out our three additional bids, and texting us updates throughout. She was endlessly understanding of our needs and was ceaselessly kind, warm, and patient. Finally, on the house that we won, Lara's input was crucial in helping us through a complex negotiation with multiple counter-offers. Because Lara had gained our trust over several weeks, we were able to rely on her guidance through the process, and as a result, we ended up saving tens of thousands of dollars from what we thought we were going to spend. I whole-heartedly and unreservedly recommend Lara; I can't imagine having had a better agent representing us.

For those of you looking to buy a home in the Seattle area. . .I'm sorry. The market is going absolutely insane right now in terms of high demand and low supply. It is a frustrating process, but here is my advice, contact Joseph ASAP. My wife and I started looking for places back in October/November 2015 and reached out to several agents. They were either exceedingly negative (e.g. you don't have enough money to buy in this market), or exceedingly optimistic (this run down piece of crap just needs a little TLC: it doesn't matter that the walls are literally falling down). We even went so far as to contact agents from Redfin and were extremely disappointed with the utter lack of knowledge. That is when we found Joseph. 

In the modern world, the days of telling agent what you want and having him show you a dozen homes or so isn't really around. Rather, with online tools and the extremely fast sales it has become a race of sorts. Scour the MLS database until something somewhat hits your interest and get out to see it THAT day and decide, otherwise you might be left behind, or miss out. 

Joseph was great in a few key areas. First, he was extremely responsive and available. Even with last minute, "this just came on the market we need to look at it now" phone calls, he was able to accommodate nearly every whim we had, which is above and beyond every other agent we talked to. The second key area of excellence was his depth of knowledge, not just of the real estate market, nor just his knowledge of what it takes to win an offer/bidding war, but also his knowledge regarding homes, buildings, fixing, costs and all of the other things people often don't realize they should know. We would walk into a home and he would do what I call an "impromptu inspection", tell you what was wrong, what needed to be fixed, how difficult it is to do this, and/or how expensive it would be to pay someone else. I believe that this knowledge comes from his years (decades?) of experience as a landlord. This has given him a special set of skills that I have not seen in any other agents. The final thing I want to touch on regarding Joseph is his understanding of what it takes to win an offer. It's not just that he can tell you things that can help, but it is that he can explain the WHY and the HOW of offer details. For example, assume that you are about to put in an offer on a hot property and are fairly certain that it will end in a bidding war (typical of Seattle right now). He has the knowledge of tips and tricks, concessions, etc. that can make your offer stand out from the others. While other agents may know of some tips/tricks, with Joseph it is different. He really knows the game and he can explain, in ELI5 terms, what it is that you are conceding/agreeing to and why it makes your offer more powerful. 

Joseph was a great agent and I credit his knowledge in getting us, not the home of our dreams (we're not multi-millionaires), but a hot home in the neighborhood we have come to love. TL;DR: He knows his stuff.


Joseph was a great agent!

Please consider this as our letter of recommendation for Kristen Cramer. She assisted us with the purchasing of our first house in 2000, so when it came time for us to sell and buy again, we called her. We have been very impressed with the services she has provided us. We felt like she was truly looking out for our best interests and came up with a lot of creative ideas. 

We will ask Kristen to assist us with any of our future real estate needs and would not hesitate to recommend her to our friends and family.


We would not hesitate to recommend her!

....it has been so wonderful to have you representing us. Thank you for everything, mostly your insight, patience and kindness to both me and the sellers.

Thank you for everything!

Justin and Andrew helped us every step of the way as we navigated the sale of our first house. They did extensive research so we could price the house appropriately and get it on the market as quickly as possible. They have a great network of resources, including photographers, painters, and stagers, who made our house look amazing. One of them was always available to answer our questions and keep things under control, even when we were feeling overwhelmed. I appreciate their easy-going demeanor and professionalism which made everything run smoothly for us. They are a great team and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for support in either the sale or purchase of a home. 

I would highly recommend!

I am so glad that we had a chance to work with David. As first-time home owners, we don’t have other realtors to compare to, but David was beyond our expectations. He was extremely helpful and friendly. He was always there for us throughout the entire process. He responded within an hour or so every time we contacted him. He was always on time for our scheduled appointments and kept us up-to-date on any minor updates. I can't think of anything that we didn't like about our experience with him. I strongly recommend David as your realtor and would love to work with him again in the future.

He was always there for us throughout the entire process!

Josef provided us with a great end to end professional experience and managed to close a difficult deal in a very competitive market. We chose Josef through friend’s recommendation and he did not disappoint. If you need a real estate agent that makes the difference and give you the edge, Joseph is certainly the one!! Very experienced, friendly, patient and business savvy. Thanks.

Josef provided us with a great end to end professional experience!

Joseph Goldberg supported my first-time purchase of an investment property in Seattle. He worked with me closely for months, tirelessly analyzing opportunities, getting inside information, and using his wealth of knowledge to ensure that I am making the right deal. Joseph is attentive, knowledgeable, shrewd,  delightful, and a great communicator. Most importantly, you know that Joseph is 100% on your side. The latter point became abundantly clear when he cleverly negotiated the price down after the inspection results came in. I could not recommend Joseph more for your Puget Sound real estate activity.

Joseph is the best of the best! 

Selling a home is a very stressful event, especially when you live in a different state and are about to move to a third state, but we had a great experience with Justin selling our home! We shared a vision for renovations and updates that needed to be done to the house to get top dollar and they all came off perfectly! Even when problems arose with contractors (and they always do) or meeting deadlines he was there to help and it was always handled quickly and professionally. If you're looking for someone to do that little extra to make the difference in a sale, you can't go wrong with Justin. 

You can't go wrong with Justin!

Missy provided us with excellent service!  Her experience and knowledge of the current market and superb communication skills with both us, her client, and the seller's agent provided us the opportunity to purchase our home!  We highly recommend Missy and appreciate the expert care and service she provided.  


Missy provided us with excellent service!  

I have worked with Lara on two purchases in Seattle now, and have referred multiple friends and family her way, all of whom who have also been successful in their home purchases. Lara is very professional, knowledgeable in this market, and goes above and beyond for her clients. I will continue to refer my friends to Lara and will use them if/when we ever want to buy or sell in the future!

Lara is very professional, knowledgeable in this market
