Michelle Lions and Robert Carroll have our highest recommendation. Our goal was to downsize to a nice condo with the space we needed and great walkability. We planned to buy and move before selling our Lake Hills, Bellevue, house They patiently helped us find the condo of our dreams at a good price. Their great advice on preparing our house for the market helped us get full value from it.
Of special note: • We had time but were tempted to take a “good enough” condo. With their knowledge of the market, Michelle and Robert could reassure us that better candidates would become available. They helped us stay patient. • With his construction background, Robert found hidden good and bad features of candidates that others likely overlooked. • Michelle and Robert have great negotiation skills. When buying, they helped us make a strong offer while avoiding overpaying. When selling, their advice led to multiple offers and a higher price from a solid buyer. • We were “up front” that we only planned to buy and sell if we found the right new place. Although this made their getting any compensation uncertain, they still worked hard and didn’t push us. • Michelle and Robert’s experience helped us figure out the changing and uncertain market even in the face of COVID, the national recession, and local tech employment news. • With COVID complications, finding and scheduling contractors to prep the old house was difficult. Michelle and Robert helped us plan and find contractors to do the job and keep things on track. • For selling our house, their stager, photographer, and marketing were excellent. • Finally, Michelle and Robert were always available, able to steady our nerves, and eager to help.
If you are in the real estate market and you are looking for the best real estate service, I recommend Michelle & Robert. They work around the clock to provide a top notch service. Robert was always available and welcoming to show us houses and elaborate on the pros and cons of each house. Robert's construction background helps a lot in vetting houses and identifying potential repairs. Michelle was super fast in scheduling tours and reaching out to sellers' agents and in drafting all the paper work. When it comes to putting an offer on a house, they fight hard for you. PLUS they referred me to a loan broker who no one can beat her rates, I tried and got a lower rate and she beat it!
Michelle and Robert are your dream team when it comes to home purchase, they deserve more than a 5 star rating!
