Client Testimonials

Dear Rick and Valerie:

Thank you for providing real estate brokerage services in the sale of my house in Upland Green.  It has been a pleasure working with you.  Through your efforts, we were able to sell the property quickly and for more than the initial listing price.

I believe our success was largely due to the efforts you made in the marketing of my property.  You thoroughly reviewed both the interior and exterior condition of the house before you began marketing, and made recommendations for enhancing its appearance. You also performed a comprehensive comparative market analysis, which helped us set an attractive listing price

We received several offers within the first couple of days.  You then guided me through the various offers and helped negotiate the final offer.  You also assisted me with completing the various required forms, meeting the FHA appraisal requirements, and closing on a timely basis.

Please do not hesitate to use me as a reference.  I wish you continued success.

                                                                        Sincerely yours,

 

                                                                        Raymond H., Ph.D.

 
"There is a woman who made my dreams come true, her name is Valerie Plute!" I was so scared about buying a house by myself, but she led me through it step by step. I didn't think that I could ever do it, being a single mom and all, but I did it, and all the credit goes to Valerie and her associates.

I highly recommend using Valerie as your real estate agent. She knows her stuff and she doesn't "drop the ball" as so many agents do. Also, she is a wonderful person on top of being a "top-notch" business woman.

She is great to deal with."

Take care, I hope life is treating you good!

"Before I met Valerie and Rick I was one of many out there who thought that I could never have a home of my own. Being a single-mom I was pretty sure that my dream of owning a house was impossible. But all that changed. Upon our first meeting, Valerie was confident that she could help me get my own home. She helped me get pre-approved and was very patient with me while we looked at many, many listings. She is very knowledgeable not only on the mortgage side but also on the real estate side and was very efficient in making sure I understood the process of buying a house. Up to this day I still cannot believe that I own my very own home and it was all thanks to Valerie!"

"Rick and Valérie are very professional and hard working. They demonstrated honesty, integrity and expertise at every stage of the home selling process. They kept me informed throughout the process and answered any questions I had quickly; no matter how minor. They made me feel like I was their only client! I appreciated their help and their efforts, but also their attitude. Rick & Valérie were always so positive and honest; not telling me what they thought I wanted to hear, but telling me the truth. They provided me unbiased information, and let me make my own decisions. Rick & Valérie's persistence and marketing strategies were right on target. They definitely know the area and the market. Bottom line, Rick & Valérie did what they promised they would do and more! If I ever need to buy, sell, or refinance in the Greater Seattle area, I would use Rick & Valérie!"

Take care and keep in touch.

I have to thank Valérie and Rick for helping me find a home. My co-worker told me that there was no way to get in to a home without a large down payment. Valérie and Rick took the time to show me how FHA loans work with a program using gift funds to get into a home. My wife Maria and I are very happy with our home.

Thank you very much!
