Feedback on REALTORS®
Tammy did a fantastic job as our Realtor. She was always professional and did a great job of communicating with us. She emailed or called us weekly to see how we were doing. She was extremely well informed of the current market conditions and prices. She took an active role in marketing our home. We are very pleased with the wonderful job Tammy did selling our home! We highly recommend her to our friends and neighbors.

Jon was great to work with. I was very picky in my home search because I really liked my current home. Jon was very patient with me. We finally found a home I fell in love with and Jon negotiated a contingent offer on my behalf. Jon then sold my townhome in less that 1 week for full price!!

In the past 10 years my wife and I have bought sold 4 homes. It was with extreme pleasure that I take this opportunity to commend Michael Peters, of RE/MAX NW, for utterly turning around our opinion of Realtors and real estate transactions in general.
