Ross Hartwich

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ross was great to work with. As first-time homebuyers, he expertly explained and taught us tons about the process, and houses, and even provided some great tips for home improvement ideas. We feel truly lucky to have such an informative, thorough, and level-headed agent to work with throughout the process. Because of Ross, our homebuying process was way easier than we expected it to be. Thanks, Ross!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We have nothing but positive things to say about Ross. Our home search in Seattle was mostly remote, as we were living out of state. From the very beginning, Ross was considerate and cognizant of our time constraints and he was diligent to follow up with any question or concern that we raised. We began looking at homes with another company, but they weren't able to find new construction, non-listed homes...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ross was invaluably helpful with the sale of my condo. Being out of state, Ross went above and beyond taking care of all the small details which I could not. He is knowledgeable and thorough, couldn't have asked for a better agent!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Rarely is it easy to offer unhesitating praise for someone who has helped you in the plying of a trade? Ross Hartwich inspires such praise in me. I was in need of a new home, and I was, like many these days, unspeakably busy with ongoing commitments. I was going to require a really energetic alliance. I had spent a year or so relying on another agent who just didn't have that steam. Then I met Ross at an...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ross is one of the best. I've been through the buying process before, however, this time it was selling and buying. Negotiating the difficult Seattle market, my insane schedule, plus a tight budget didn't even seem to bother him a bit. Ross listens to his clients, taking into account their lifestyle, financial means, and individual needs, and constructs a plan that puts as little stress on his client as ...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ross was our buyer agent as we looked for a beach home in the San Juans and Whidbey Island. When we found a place that we were interested in Ross was very prompt to research the property, provide background information, set up viewing times, research comparable properties, and find geotech engineers as needed. Even though we have been homeowners for over 30 years we were novices to the current purchasing...

Ross was great. He really went the extra mile for me and provided invaluable advice throughout the sales process.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ross was wonderful to work with, and we felt like we were in the best hands possible throughout the entire process. He provided great advice and wisdom but also supported us in our decisions - doing everything he could to make sure we had the best chance to get the house we truly wanted. Following our purchase, he's made sure we have everything we need and go the extra mile to help us get settled in. Gre...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ross made selling our townhome so easy for us. He was able to coordinate an army of subcontractors (paint, carpet, landscape, general repairs, staging, photography, and probably others) in a very short window of time to get the house ready for the market. He was very responsive to all of our questions and comments and always carried a warm smile. Ross was also flexible with times meeting times to fit it ...

Ross went above and beyond the expectations of a buying and listing agent! He was professional and knew when to listen and when to act. Thank you, friend!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

My husband Ben and I recently completed the home-buying process (for the first time) with Ross as our guide and broker, and we were quite satisfied with the service he provided us. His knowledge of the local real estate market, friendly personality, and untiring willingness to work with us on our terms made him an invaluable asset during our house-hunting experience. Ross's professional understanding of ...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We recently purchased our first home and Ross Hartwich was our broker. My husband, Tomas, works at Google in Fremont and I stay home with our 18-month-old son. When we started the house search we were very overwhelmed. Especially after hearing horror stories from friends about bidding wards starting on houses. Tomas wanted to be able to walk or bike to work, so the areas we could live in were a little li...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

One day while getting in the car with Ross, (Ross is awesome and picks his clients up to tour homes) I noticed he had a bunch of tools in the back of his car. He was apologetic for the noise they were making. It wasn't bothering us at all and we later learned he was dropping them off with a former client who found a home and needed tools. This is one small example of the awesomeness of Ross. We are first...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Living in Idaho, and selling a home in Seattle, with absolutely no free time, seemed to be a near impossible task. How could we get the house ready to sell, after 4 years of renters? When would we find time to move our things into storage? The yard is a mess, when are we possibly going to be there to clean up and make it presentable? How can we afford to do all this? One meeting with Ross and it all beca...

Ross is one of the best realtors that I know. He is personable engaging and professional and goes out of his way to understand my needs. I never get that salesman vibe and always enjoy working with him.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ross was extraordinary to work with! He definitely went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable with the sale of our house. It all went smoothly and sold very quickly. We would not hesitate to recommend his services. He took the stress out of a stressful situation and we'll be forever grateful! Thank you, Ross!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ross Hartwich went over and beyond the call of duty as a Realtor. We had a positive buy and sell experience with Ross and was by far the best Realtor we have worked with. Ross gave us great guidance and made both processes as smooth as possible. We are thankful for his work efforts and for sure will recommend him to all who are in need of a Realtor. We love our new home!

— John & Victoria Z.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Being a single female first-time home buyer in Seattle was daunting, to say the least. I started the housing search with a vague sense of what I was looking for and not 100% sure I would ever be able to find it. Ross came highly recommended through friends who had recently purchased a home in Seattle. He was a huge asset and can't imagine having gone through the process without him. He was incredibly hel...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I am writing to provide my strongest endorsement of Ross Hartwich as a realtor. Ross excelled in all phases of the real estate process - from deep knowledge, which aided in the house hunt, to exceptional customer service and responsiveness, which was critical during the closing process, to his follow through in getting us fully settled in our new home. Bottom line - Ross was a dream broker who greatly ex...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

When I first contacted Lake & Co., it was because I wanted to get some advice from an agent, not necessarily to hire, but because I was having some issues with the agent I was working with at that time from another company. Ross Hartwich answered my call, and little did I know how lucky I was that he was available to chat with me that day. A few days later we met up, we talked about the problem I was hav...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ross is a stellar real estate broker who goes the extra mile for his clients. We just purchased our first-ever home (in Ballard) and Ross guided us through this difficult market with wisdom and patience as we conducted our search. He was recommended by our loan officer at Homestreet (Gail Bean, also great), who mentioned he has a high success rate at winning offers in our competitive market. He is low-pr...

— Amber S.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ross really is as good as it gets in Seattle's crazy real estate market. He helped us buy our home in Seattle 3.5 years ago, after a somewhat picky, several month long search. We loved our home and continued to rely on Ross for his home renovating and resale expertise as well as his extensive list of local contacts to help do some projects around the house. When it came time to sell our home, despite sev...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I met Ross at an open house he was hosting during an exploratory trip to Seattle. I had looked at quite a few houses that trip and was not ready to buy, but just wanted to get an idea of what the market was like. I was impressed by Ross's knowledge, candor, and lack of hard sell tactics, and knew at that point that I wanted to work with him when we were ready to move. I'm so glad I kept his card. Ross qu...
