You have a lot of choices when it comes to choosing a real estate agent. In addition to my knowledge and passion for the region, I bring a solid background in construction and real estate investment which informs and enhances every one of my client interactions. Whether you’re a buyer or seller, a first-time homeowner or seasoned pro, I welcome the opportunity to meet you, explain my services, and strategize your sale or purchase.
When buying a home...
I see every client as a person who is making one of the biggest decisions they will make in this lifetime, and it’s my job to educate, relieve stress, and help them navigate the process. After you visit my website and check out my 5-Star Yelp and Zillow reviews, I hope you like what you see. The next step is for us to connect via phone or email and meet at a time that works for you.
When selling your home...
Pre-listing prep work and home assessment are a large portion of my business. I enjoy the creativity and strategy that goes into preparing a home for market, and my can-do attitude, contractor connections, and ability to get things done are what set me apart from other agents. When it’s time to sell your home, I’m happy to meet to discuss current market conditions, see your home’s unique features, and recommend cost-effective updates that will increase the value of your home. From our first contact to our initial meeting, I want to assure you I am a low-pressure, highly knowledgeable agent who is respected by clients and colleagues alike.
Justin made the process of becoming a first time home buyer infinitely easier and more fun than I ever imagined it can be. We looked at many a condo before I found the one I felt excited and comfortable purchasing. From helping me make the best offer to talking to the other tenants to negotiating a complex loan, he was always available, supportive and most of all patient. He even helped with the move and still to this day willing to lend a hand when asked. He is a great agent, and I strongly rec...
For those of you in the Puget Sound area, take note: I can't say enough about my fantastic real estate agent. Justin Mellon (206-919-7648; Lake & Company Real Estate), who handled the sale of my home and purchase of my new home. He goes above and beyond, and then some more for his clients. He listens. That might sound like an odd comment, but we had an agent before that continued to show us houses that were exactly what we'd said we did not want. After showing me a couple of houses, Justin check...
Justin Mellon @ Lake & Co was *awesome*. He was in constant contact with us during every step of the process, went with us to every meeting that we had with anyone regarding the home, brought us a billion boxes for packing, and on moving day rented a moving truck and moved us to our new house. Everything was done at our convenience, including late-night home tours and documents/paperwork at our place (the only time we went to his office was the very first day we arranged to meet him). We a...
The home buying process can be extremely scary and sketchy to say the least. While you're juggling price versus size versus yard space versus versus the neighborhood, there are a lot of people out there with their own agendas trying to make a quick buck off you. Unfortunately, the process of buying our home did not go as smoothly as we had hoped. The actual paperwork and negotiations went really well, but after we got the keys and showed up at the house for the first time there were a lot of thi...
I decided to buy my first house so I met Justin Mellon. He not only helped me to find a new townhouse at a good price, but also taught me how to look for the right home. Being Chinese, my parents have many concerns about ‘feng-shui’ of the building. At that time, Justin would sit down with me and listen to my needs carefully so he always knows what I like the most! He was also very honest with the housing price. He wouldn’t let the sellers take advantage of me in any way. Because of Justin...
My wife and I recently sold a house with the assistance of Justin Mellon after learning I would move for medical residency. He started by talking through the trade offs between renting vs selling considering the current market but was very forthright that either would be a good option financially, so it depended on our outlook and personalities. When we decided to sell he helped orient us to the big picture thinking, including the ideal timeline to get the house on the market and the big steps o...
Thank you Justin for your efforts in the successful sale of my condo in Seattle. The condo was on the market for a year with no offers while being listed by another realtor. A friend of mine, who is in the real estate business, recommended that I switch to you and your company. You are everything that he said you would be.
I knew right away I wanted Justin to be my real estate agent. He has been helpful in so many ways. His ideas and advice brought the sale of my house to a quick and successful end. I would recommend him completely.
Justin Mellon used his extensive local connections to find a house that fit me perfectly, then negotiated a fantastic deal that helped me to realize my personal dream of being a homeowner in the Ballard neighborhood. I am better off today financially and personally because of his expertise and integrity. I highly recommend this guy.
I will definitely use Justin again when I buy my next house. He is honest and will not push you into a home to make a sale. He honestly wants what is best for you and your family. If the house is not right he will flat out tell you.
My husband and I just partnered with Justin to both sell our condo and find our dream home. He was such a wonderful asset and ally on both ends that we feel extremely lucky to have found him. Initially we would have loved to sell our condo over a year ago and move into a home. Due to another unit in our complex selling for such a low price, Justin helped us weigh the pros and cons of waiting a year before testing the market. In the end we waited a year and did some renovations at his sugge...
This guy is very good at what he does. He is helpful, down to earth, hardworking and honest.
As first time homebuyers we were anxious and almost didn't buy a house. Justin was unlike a previous agent who didn't listen to our needs and kept pushing her own agenda trying to sell homes that were not for us. A family friend recommended Justin so we decided to give him a call and are very happy we did. The tax credit incentive was there and the rates had dropped super low, top that off with a fantastic agent who helped us find our perfect home. You end up with a great experience. We truly be...
There is no way we would have felt as comfortable and confident in our house hunting/home buying process if it weren't for Justin! His patience, knowledge, and professionalism made this experience such an exciting time for me and my husband! We enjoyed the other team members that Justin recommended as well, ie: mortgage broker + escrow company. There was such a great level of respect and professionalism throughout!
I enjoyed working with Justin through the entire process of selling our house. He helped navigate a complex situation and greatly assisted in the process of getting the house ready for market by coordinating with painters, landscapers, and other contractors. Once the house was listed, he worked hard to show the house and we accepted a strong offer shortly afterward. Even in a strong sellers' market having the right marketing strategy is key to getting an optimum outcome and moving towards a fast...
I wanted to take a few minutes to let you know what a great agent you have in Justin Mellon. Recently I had a listing in Maple Leaf that belonged to my brother-in-law and his wife. After he tragically passed away in February, I had the daunting job of putting it on the market. I say this because our family was already stricken with the loss of our mother and sister within the past year and emotionally, I was somewhat spent. Had funds been available, I would have referred it to a Seattle agent. U...
I rarely give 5 star ratings because can anyone really be that good? Justin is. Buying/selling a home can be stressful and emotional so I was so grateful to find him when we bought our home in Seattle. He was patient, listened, payed attention to details and helped us land our dream home under challenging circumstances. He continues to be a trusted advisor for all things real estate. We own a vacation rental business and have some investment properties in Seattle. He's the first person w...
We can't recommend our realtor Justin Mellon more. We just finished selling our first home and buying our new home and Justin negotiated both processes for us flawlessly. He listened to our needs, represented our wants, and helped us through every question and concern we threw his way. He is one of the most helpful individuals we have ever encountered and his extensive network of talented people to help with your home is incredible. We hired Justin to help us sell our home because well, he seeme...
