We had an excellent experience working with Lino to buy our new house in West Seattle! We were nervous about buying in such a competitive market, but in addition to being really nice to work with, we feel Lino helped give us an edge! He has all the qualities you'd expect of a great agent: He is honest, quick to respond and generous with his time in answering questions and making appointments, and super knowledgeable.

Then there is everything he did to help us go above and beyond in our search: he really took the time to help us understand what goes into crafting a competitive offer in Seattle while at the same making sure we understood how those impact us as buyers (how much earnest money to make non-refundable, when to waive inspection contingencies, when to consider waiving financing contingencies, lease-back, etc). We live a few hours away, so he took multiple trips out to West Seattle (while the bridge was closed, no small trip!) to double check things for us before and after making an offer. He worked closely with us to create a customized, competitive offer that stayed within our budget and helped us win! He kept his finger on the pulse of the process all way through closing to ensure we would get our new home. Lastly, he brings with him a huge network of people connected to the Seattle market to lean on and make referrals.

If we ever decide to sell our new home I know we'll be using Lino as our agent again. Give him a chance and you won't be disappointed!
