"You will be in great hands working with Andrew!"
Andrew is an exceptional real estate professional! He invests in his clients and goes above and beyond in every way possible. Very knowledgable, organized, dependable, and responsive with frequent updates... every step of the process he gives valuable insight and suggestions.You will be in great hands working with Andrew!read morerochellecristineAuburn, WA."I would recommend him as a real estate agent to family and friends without hesitation!"
My wife and I had an amazing home buying experience with Andrew. We were moving to Seattle without any local knowledge or references. I noted his positive reviews on Zillow and decided to give him a call. I’m sure glad I did. Andrew went above and beyond for us.We were out of town buyers and could only make it out to view properties on one particular weekend. He gave us his undivided attention and arranged for us to see a long list of properties. He was willing and able to adjust on the fly once we realized we didn’t like a particular neighborhood, even though the majority of the properties we had planned to see were located there. Andrew helped us construct a competitive offer, which was accepted for our perfect home. He managed to talk me out of offering too much which speaks to his honesty and integrity. Throughout the process he gave us sound advice and was always willing to tell us the pros and cons of each house or neighborhood. Overall, I never felt pressured. After we closed on the house, but before we could move to Seattle, Andrew arranged for a number of bids to refinish the floors and personally oversaw the work. I would recommend him as a real estate agent to family and friends without hesitation!read moreuser4148810Seattle, WA."His Advice Was Spot On!"
Zach walked us through the entire process for both our new home purchase and the sale of our home. His advice was spot on. We sold in 2 days above our asking price! We are happy with the results.jhramshurIssaquah, WA"I Would Highly Recommend Working With Him!"
Working with Zach has been an absolute pleasure and I would highly recommend working with him. Zach will respond quickly and make sure to set things up so you will be a happy buyer, I know I am and he helped me choose my first house! The first time that we were meeting to go see houses happened to be in a heavy heavy downpour with accidents on all major roads.I heard on the news the next day it was the 5th worst traffic conditions have ever been in Seattle. Zach proposed we grab a bite so we went to Il Bistro in Pike St Market and grabbed some food while he explained the homebuying process and how I should start getting ready to make a purchase. At the end of eating he took care of the meal! One thing I really liked about working with Zach was the questions he asked about what I enjoyed and what I was looking for in a home. Zach continued to look into what would be helpful for me and I really appreciated that. In the end, we closed on a house 21K under asking price that had the giant backyard that my Siberian Husky has been lobbying me for. Zach was very helpful in the negotiations and very responsive. If you choose to work with Zach you are in excellent hands. Thanks Zach!read moreJared MagidSeattle, WA"I Would Highly Recommend Zach!"
I would highly recommend Zach! He was very helpful throughout the entire process, from explaining our options to viewing homes to expertly negotiating all the details with our offer through closing. We got the 2nd house we looked at! Zach was not only a great realtor but also an amazing friend and advocate for my wife and I during the process.He truly cares about his clients and does an amazing job!read morecdm229Seattle, WA"Andrew went above and beyond to get quotes from various contractors."
Mr. Schein was patient and followed me around Seattle touring at least 50+ homes for the better part of a year, only putting in an offer on 3 properties; despite this, he was quick to respond and always excited to tour more. Andrew, is very personable, he put me at ease throughout the whole process (my first home)and I never felt pressured, despite my foot dragging. Though I only placed three offers, his expertise showed through in how we navigated completely different situations to the right outcome for me: a competitive house with 6 offers, out of country owners, and finally the late-season purchase of a home on the market only 2 weeks. I couldn't be more content with the house I ended up with, zero buyers remorse, it's everything I wanted. During the closing process, Andrew went above and beyond to get quotes from various contractors and even measure external building dimensions himself to help me sort out future possibilities for the house while staying within building code.read moreuser722167WA 98107."I can highly recommend his services and I was very pleased with my experience!"
Andrew was a great help to me in choosing a home. He was responsive to my questions, patient with my search, and offered sound advice when it came to choosing the best property for me. He is very organized and walked me through the entire process, making sure that I understood everything along the way.He was friendly and relaxed in his approach, and he had great ideas for how to adapt certain properties to fit with my wants and needs. He took the time to listen to my list of priorities and reminded me not to be discouraged by the length that the process can take. I can highly recommend his services and I was very pleased with my experience!read morezuser20150608143238149Seattle, WA."Zach Is Unique in a Great Way!"
Zach is unique in a great way. I've worked with 2 real estate agents in the past with mixed results. Zach in comparison was available to answer questions throughout the process and I never felt I was on the back-burner. End result, I got a better deal than what I expected b/c of him. I'm not a fan of agents that sound more like sales trying to convince you a house is nice.Instead, Zach would let me draw my own conclusions about a property and be upfront when he thought something may be 'off'. Most important of all, it was his negotiating skills combined with his scheduling bids on needed work on the house that got me a good deal. You won't be disappointed when you choose to work with him.read moreJohn BlakeySeattle, WA"Zach Provided a Fantastic Service!"
Zach provided a fantastic service and I would not hesitate to use him again or refer him to family and friends looking for a house. The Seattle market is red hot at the moment so to get a house you need to find someone who will respect your direction and needs but also nudge you where you need to be nudged and figure out angles to land a property.And then when a hurdle arises you, as one did in my deal, you need someone to jump in and serve your interests to get a resolution. Zach is a great partner for you to have. Call him today !read morevashonmanSeattle, WA"Zach Is a Great Realtor!"
Zach is a great realtor! He is honest with his feedback and really listens to what you want and helps you find a perfect fit for you! I liked that he was up front and honest about properties that I was interested in and would tell me pros/cons of properties.I felt like i was really taken care of and he wasnt out just to get me to buy a property.read morelaura simmonsMill Creek, WA"We credit this to Andrew's diligence and desire to do what is best for his clients."
Andrew was an excellent agent for us. He was resilient in finding homes that fit our criteria and always available to tour homes, answer phone calls and answered many questions we had. Andrews experience in the construction industry proved invaluable as he was able to see spaces and in a different way and offer insight to their potential or point out red flags that would be costly in the long run.Once we found a house we liked, Andrew quickly and thoroughly put together an excellent offer and our first offer was accepted!! We credit this to Andrew's diligence and desire to do what is best for his clients. We highly recommend Andrew to anyone in search of a home in the Seattle area as his work ethic and expertise will find you the perfect home.read moreuser03965654Seattle, WA."Doug is a true professional."
Doug is a true professional. Ultimately we had no idea where we were going to purchase a home. We had it narrowed down to both the 1-5 and the 405 corridor so pretty much any good neighborhood on the east side OR the west side. Doug was patient and knowledgeable, not only about the neighborhoods but also homes in general.Many times I found myself asking him his opinion about structure, remodels etc, no shortage of information, BUT if he did not know, he was up front with me and later email me the answer. We spent a lot of time in the car, riding with Doug was a real pleasure, he has a good sense of humor which kept us going when at times the wind was out of our sails. I would recommend Doug for many reasons but what really stood out was the following; he was fair, patient, professional, prompt, punctual, passionate and he made time for us. This is the type of agent you want to work with, no frills, no gimmicks, just excellent service.read moreChris WeeKirkland, WA."He was fantastic!"
Doug was the agent that helped us with the purchase of a bank owned condo. He was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, and very quick to respond to all our first time buyer questions. He spent a lot of time with us, showing us a variety of property options and was really interested in finding us the rightfit.read moreN. BlissSeattle, WA."Highly likely to recommend"
Andrew did a fantastic job representing both myself and my siblings during an estate sale for my brother's home. As my brother had been ill for some time, the house was in disrepair. His recommendations regarding "fixes" were spot on - not too hot and not too cold - just right to present the property in it's most favorable light while limiting expenses.I was also relieved that he managed all the work regarding these fixes as I do not reside in WA state and therefore I am unfamiliar with local contractors. Finally he handled all unique aspects of the sale given it was a probate sale while being sensitive to the "ticking clock" associated with time spent communicating with my estate lawyer, again thus minimizing expenses. Great job Andrew - thanks again!read moreddawson99Seattle, WA."I Was Quite Happy and Would Gladly Recommend Zach!"
I was based in California throughout and house went only through basic cleanup/maintenance before being put up for sale so wasn't sure what to expect. In the end we went through several offers, three of which were accepted (one buyer pulled out at inspection stage,one buyer was not able to secure financing in spite of being pre-approved and final buyer for sale that went through). Throughout I was very happy with Zach as he guided me through the process, explaining all the intricacies and alternatives. When negotiation was needed, he would often suggest reasonable moves and counteroffers and provide context without being too pushy or hurried. I appreciated the balanced use of email/sms/phones to keep me informed and push things along. In the end house sold well above the asking price and the closing process was smooth. Overall I was quite happy and would gladly recommend Zach to my friends.read moreSlaven BilacLynnwood, WA"Working With Zach Was Great!"
Working with Zach was great! He sold our house the first weekend it was listed!! He helped negotiate a higher price than we anticipated and made the terms of offer sweeter as well. Zach was very quick to reply and kept us informed every step of the way.I highly recommend using Zach to sell your house.read morezuser20141016090243448Everett, WA"Andrew gets my highest recommendation."
Andrew gets my highest recommendation. I just bought a condo with Andrew as my agent a month ago. As a first-time buyer who has only lived in Seattle for a couple of years before buying, I had a lot of questions about the market trends, different neighborhoods, the financing process, deal negotiations etc.Andrew was incredibly thoughtful and responsive; he treated my fiance and I as if we were his only clients. Whenever we ran into a potential issue or concern, Andrew was always ready with a plan for how to proceed to make sure that we were able to get the home of our dreams at an affordable price. We ended up finding a perfect place and thanks to Andrew's guidance, also got a good deal on it, which is rare in this highly competitive Seattle market.read moreCasey AkerblomSeattle, WA. Local knowledge"Zach Was Extremely Helpful!"
Zach was extremely helpful in our home search. We happened to meet Zach by chance, but in the end it worked out quite well for us. He possesses a lot of knowledge about the area which we were targeting for our home purchase (North Seattle), and after a few showings he got a very good idea of the kind of home we were looking for.That helped us a lot in narrowing down our choices. When we finally decided on our home, Zach moved pretty quickly with making a bid on the home, and completing the negotiation with the seller. Price wise, he was able to obtain a good deal for the home. He is extremely responsive, and answered all of our questions in the quickest possible manner. Even after we moved into our new home, he regularly checked in with us to make sure everything was going smoothly. He was very helpful during the whole transition process. We greatly appreciate his guidance in us going from being renters to homeowners. In terms of the purchase process, there were a couple of things which we felt could have gone better: 1. We had a tight closing date, which made it almost impossible for us to shop for the best loan options. We had no idea that there had been a slight change in the loan process in October, which made securing a loan slightly longer. We would have liked Zach to be cognizant of these changes, which would have helped us secure a better closing date. 2. The seller had agreed in the contract that he would pay the sewer capacity charges in full, and we were under the impression that we will get it in the form of a credit towards closing cost. However, later we came to know that the seller can only pay it directly to the county, and not to us. We would have expected Zach to know about this, especially since we were factoring in this money for closing costs.read morezuser20150524153332094Seattle, WA"We would certainly utilize his services again in the future."

Andrew is a very impressive professional. He fully informed himself about the building in which my unit was located. He made suggestions about repairs, painting, etc., and scheduled all the work with reasonably priced providers with whom he has worked. Once the unit was listed,Andrew worked tirelessly to conduct Open Houses and showings with other agents. When a buyer appeared and an offer was made, Andrew was very skillful in dealing with the buyer's agent, negotiating to clear inspection items, and working with the buyer's lending institution to provide additional information. Andrew was very patient and kept the buyer fully informed. This led to a successful closing. I would highly recommend him.read moreGilbert LeiendeckerSeattle, WA."Amazing Realtor!"
Doug Holman’s the best. He helped me with the upleg of a 1031 exchange. I’m in the process of selling some real estate I own in California and re-invest in the Seattle area. I sold a small apartment in California without realizing how tight the Seattle market was and would have had a bad result if Doug wasn’t there to help me.Doug has such a command of the neighborhoods he works that he seems to be able to sense which properties will be best from the investment perspective. He also can look beyond the first impression and see hidden value. He has experience fixing up properties that might be undervalued in their initial state, and has an extensive list of contractors and handymen that he will recommend if the numbers work out. The market in Seattle was hard to break into in April 2013 but Doug kept working with me until I accomplished my objective, which was to find real estate that produced a very respectable rate of return. The properties are well enough located so they will probably appreciate nicely. I am managing the properties myself but had to return to California for an extended period. Doug has been kind enough to help me find handymen for a few small items that came up since my leaving. I’m an experienced investor and have worked with good realtors before. Doug is the best.read moreuser9309564Shoreline, WA."Unlikely to recommend"

As a client, my house-hunting process extended of a long period of time because I vascillated over a decision whether and when to buy.

Andrew was a fantastic resource and guide for the very stressful, fast-paced, and confusing process of buying a home in Seattle in this market. He knows the area and market well and has a high end construction background so he can make educated guesses about possible updates (and their costs),which we found very helpful. Most importantly his approach is diligent and objective, answering all our questions exactly as we asked them, making no effort to sway or rush our decision-making. And we took a while to find the right home!

"We highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking to buy property in the Seattle area."
Andrew was referred to us by friends who had just worked with him to purchase their first home. They couldn't speak more highly of him -- and after working with him, neither can we.

If you are looking for a house in the North Seattle area, I highly recommend contacting Doug Holman. He stuck with us through the process even after we walked away from a house at the last minute. We started back at square one and he didn't give up until we were moved in and settled.Doug was extremely knowledgeable on the area and was not afraid to get down and dirty to make sure that the house we were looking at was truly something we might be interested in. Even after the sale was finalized, when we came upon an small unforeseen complication, Doug was readily available with names of reliable people to contact so it could be remedied as soon as possible.

Doug was really great on both counts. When you look at a lot of properties, you spend a lot of time with your agent traveling from place to place. We spent our time asking hundreds of questions and Doug patiently explained the entire market landscape to us.

He was able to quickly ascertain our wants and needs in a prospective home and also has tremendous vision regarding the potential of a space.The entire process of searching for a buying home can be very nerve-wracking but he made the entire process go by smoothly and was an excellent advocate for us during negotiations as well.

Zach McDonald and his team were the absolute best to work with - five full stars! From the very beginning when I contacted Zach I knew he and his team were the ones to handle my unusual transaction. A friend of mine had passed away and I was charged with selling his beautiful home. I didn't know the area,I didn't know the market and I didn't know what to do cosmetically to the home to get the best sale result. Zach put me at ease right away with his knowledge of the market, his practical approach to preparing the home for sale, and his and his team's willingness to assist with the upgrades. Zach and his team not only advised on the clean-up and refresh, they also had many connections in the cleaning, painting and repair industries. If they have a contact for the service the home needed, they helped locate one. All of the cleaning and repairs happened in a very short period of time and if one of the contractors couldn't complete their portion on time Zach and his team found another contractor to keep the project moving. Their efforts before the sale made the upgrades easy and affordable - and almost painless to me! The results were amazing. The home was listed for $1.2mm and sold 10 days later for $1.410 mm. I highly recommend Zach McDonald and his wonderful team of associates - they did an incredible job for me and got results I never could have imagined.read morebarbara50677Edmonds, WA" We can't recommend him enough - thank you Andrew!"
Andrew is an incredible partner to have in the home buying or selling process - and we've used him for both!

We trusted Andrew's market knowledge and experience to help guide our decisions when it came to listing time,price and offer reviews. He went above and beyond to help with staging and photographing the home, even bringing in pieces he personally owned to round out the space.

Doug did not encourage us to take the first offer on the table either as I have seen from other agents, he knew what we could target for a sale price and we stuck to our guns, it was worth following his good advice.

Doug assisted me (as a buyer's agent) with my first home purchase in 1994. Unlike other agents who I considered using at the time, Doug was not pushy, and indicated his willingness to work with me even when I wasn't sure at the time if I was ready to buy then, or wanting to wait a few months.Doug walked me through the process from Step 1 completely through the purchase, and was professional, easy to work with, patient with my many questions, and made sure the sale went through without any problems. When I was ready to sell that first house in 2003, Doug did a fantastic job of marketing the property and handling the sale. I had an offer and purchase and sale agreement after two days. Doug recently completed the sale of our second house, in September 2011. These are more uncertain times, but Doug once again did a fantastic job for us, and resulted in a sale after a very short listing period. Doug's thoughtful, careful analysis of house preparation, pricing, staging, listing, and handling of the ensuing transaction was professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. It was really nice to know that we could turn to Doug to handle our sale without a moment's hesitation. He once again did a truly exceptional job for us. We have referred Doug to family, friends, and acquaintances, and everyone has been very happy with his services.

Working with Zach was great. We needed to both sell and buy a house and before we ever committed to doing this, Zach consulted with us on our options and the different challenges we would face given the market at the time in early January 2020 (current market inventory,how buyers will view contingency at different times of the year, how he manages the full experience). This conversation gave us confidence that the time of the year was most advantageous given we would be on contingency. When we did decide move forward, Zach was immediately communicative and helped us to get connected across the board (loan companies he has had success with, how to setup a contingent offer for a quick close, more information about the area we were hoping to find a house in). Zach makes sure that his customers have a good idea of what to expect throughout the buying process. Part of this was weekly follow ups on how we were feeling about the process, about anything we were looking at, or especially later in the process, when under contract, updates on where his team is at with working with the other buyers and sellers to get everything sorted out. We didn't feel like we were caught off guard throughout the process which was important given the number of things that needed to happen in a short period in market where houses can go in 3 days. Last thing I would note is Zach has integrity and we were comfortable trusting him to get us through the process. There a lot of people with "real estate licenses" (read with air quotes) and Zach is a professional who understands the level of effort needed to offer a good experience for a huge life decision. I would recommend Zach to anyone I know.read morenickray101WA 98155"Andrew was extremely helpful and responsive!!"

We are a recently retired couple moving back to Seattle after many years away. We found Andrew on the internet and met with him before we actually moved and found him to be personable, extremely informative and very helpful. So when we completed our move we began working with him. Andrew spent alot of time introducing us to areas that would likely be in our price range and explaining the situation to us as buyers in a very competitive market. He paid close attention to our reaction to houses and quickly had a good grasp of all the features we most wanted (or didn't want) in a home. This became invaluable as the weeks went by, as he could preview a home for us and let us know if he thought it fit our needs well enough for us to visit it ourselves. We ultimately bid on three different houses, and Andrew was excellent at making sure all the needed steps could be carried out within the very short time window to bid (around a week). He arranged for the inspections we required; walked us through the formalities of submitting a bid as well as the process owners went through to arrive at which bid was ultimately chosen; and made sure our bids were submitted in a timely way. He also kept us apprised of where we were in the process. Andrew's knowledge of home construction and maintenance was invaluable as we assessed to what degree repairs or upgrades might be needed on any particular property. He was able to guesstimate the cost of likely repairs, as well as to refer us to numerous contractors and other specialists once our bid was selected. Even after escrow closed, Andrew has been providing suggestions for contractors to get some of the needed work done on our new home. Andrew has been great to work with because he is straightforward about what he sees as a property's good qualities and flaws, as well as about what he thinks a home will likely sell for (all are substantially above the asking price in this crazy market). He has a great sense of humor and we felt comfortable with him right away. His manner is casual but he is completely professional in his work. He was always accessible and very responsive (esp. via text), and if he didn't have the answer to a question he immediately got the answer from the right source. All in all, our experience working with Andrew was very positive. We felt we were getting good guidance all along, that he listened to us and was able to steer us toward properties we would be most likely to seriously consider, and that he wanted us to find a house that we truly felt good about. We recommend him very highly!read morebarbalooneySeattle, WA."I would recommend Andrew for any real estate purchase you may be considering!"

From the first meeting to the closing process Zach gave us very personal service and was there to answer each and every question that we had.The home buying process can be daunting for first timers but we always felt that we were in very capable hands working with Zach. Zach's philosophy is that home buyers should be educated on the home buying process so they can make the best decisions for themselves and he has tons of videos and resources on the subject. These resources were so valuable for myself and my husband and when it came time to make offers and negotiate we felt like we knew what we were doing and were able to find a home we loved and make a strong offer that was accepted very quickly.

While selling the house we lived out-of-state and we appreciated Doug's willingness and ability to find people to make repairs to the home as well as manage those repairs. Doug is very personable, knowledgeable, and hard-working - not only a great resource, but simply a great guy. We can only hope to find a relator like Doug in our new state; it's going be tough to fill his shoes!read morealexpburnsSeattle, WA."We are so fortunate to have had Andrew as our realtor and would highly recommend him!"
Andrew is a very dedicated and trustworthy agent with extensive knowledge of the real estate market, the negotiation process, construction, design and beyond. This is our first home purchase and Andrew walked us through patiently and competently every step of the way.We were very specific about which neighborhood we wanted to live in to stay in our current school district that is seeing extremely high competition levels. Andrew learned our preferences quickly, previewed houses for us and with his design and construction background helped us see the potential that houses had to offer. We always felt like his only client (even though he is quite full) and he was able to accommodate our schedules and answer all of our questions thoroughly. He managed the negotiation process masterfully making sure we stayed within our budget. Once we bought our house, Andrew went above and beyond the call of duty helping us to find general contractors and brainstorm how to update our home to meet our needs. We are so fortunate to have had Andrew as our realtor and would highly recommend him!read moreShiri OurianSeattle, WA."We Learned a Lot in Working With Him!"
Zach was a wonderful guide to the Seattle real estate scene! He proved to be an invaluable resource in navigating the complexities of the current market, presenting accurate information about pricing and bids without placing any pressure on us as buyers.We appreciated how he got to know us as prospective homeowners and were impressed with how quickly he was able to send us listings tailored to our tastes and price range. Our list of "asks" in a home was a bit more complex than the average buy, but Zach was never discouraged in our search. His confidence and optimism kept the process enjoyable, and we would highly recommend him to any prospective buyer! We learned a lot in working with him, and commend his excellent communication and dedication.read morekarendoxey81Seattle, WA
