Great, well-run building, in a little too funky part of Capitol Hill, but beware if you're looking at a unit on Madison St. While the views can be amazing, the traffic and frequent sirens passing by are a nightmare. Plus, the radio towers across the street, that remind me of the recent version of War of the Worlds, are no doubt doing heaven knows what to our electro-magnetic fields as well as our small. Good for a short term rental, but should think long and hard about a longer term lease.

It's hard to get excited about a mortgage company. But my experience with Alpine was certainly positive.I can't speak for the rest of the mortgage company, but Tina Carter is certainly one of the finest folks in the business. She's professional, straight forward and honest. I had done a fair amount of research before I went to see her and she guided me through the decision process with ease.

As Amy's first official real estate clients, we were impressed with her knowlege and resources. Having worked with Amy in her previous position, I was well aware of how detail oriented and fabulously obsessive compulsive she was about making all of the pieces fit together correctly and with the greatest possible efficiency. She also has the advantage of coming from a "Real Estate Family." Additionally, boyfriend and I both had the benefit of purchasing houses in the past and knowing what to expect. I had absolute confidence in her abilities. Which doesn't mean there weren't frustrations.
After a couple of near-misses, having entirely to do with the insane Seattle real estate market, I was ready to quit looking for a while. But Amy wasn't. She convinced us to go out in the middle of a rainstorm to look at just a few more houses, and the last one, we both knew as soon as we saw it, was our home. From that night when we immediately wrote the offer, through a gruelling negotiation process, Amy didn't miss a beat. We are deighted with our home, what we paid for it and how the deal come together. We will absolutely contact Amy when we are ready to make our next purchase.

Sorry everyone, but we can't agree. We owned a home and a rental for several years-so we have seen both sides but after a job brought us to Seattle we were in the rental market again. We met Lisa and Lillian and have had nothing but great service ever since. They even helped us work with the owners to get a dog in a "no dogs" house.
Perhaps you have to consider the source??
Try to think like an owner and work as a team- might go better then acting like you live in a hotel.

Good: Very open and honest. All the negative reviewers need to learn to understand the rental market. What do they expect, Ballard Realty to do work for free? Get real people.
As companies go, this was a very honest place to work with. I rented with them for many years and never had any issues. When I had repairs that needed to be completed, then held up their end up the deal. If parts are back ordered, don't blame Ballard Realty.
Keep up the good work girls. Outstanding.. Bad: Nothing. Except having to pay rent. Sorry, was wanting something for nothing. J/K. Improvements: The owners (sisters) showing some more skin.. Other: Again, those with negative comments need to learn how to read. Their lease agreement is straight forward. If you don't clean, don't be shocked to not get your deposit back. If you rent a car and don't put gas in it, you get charged. Why would this be any different..

That building isn't full of "trash"! It's a cool, historic building full of artists! The apartments are affordable, and I hear it stopped being raided! All signs point to the positive!

OK, OK, she's my mom. But she's also a truly excellent residential real estate agent - with 30 years' experience in the Seattle market. Her style is of the old school - before real estate became a hot way for young hustlers to make a buck. She cares about people, she loves houses, and she loves to play matchmaker between the two. She's also a super-tough negotiator on her client's behalf, so don't take her gracious demeanor for weakness. The only reason I didn't give her a 10 is that she makes regular trips out of town to see her grandchildren - so she's not always on call (just most of the time). Don't take my word for it - give her a call and ask her advice on the Seattle market.

More
Brandon recently helped us purchase our house in Seattle this spring, and in a market that is as volatile as this one, it was good to have him working on our side.
Throughout the entire process, Brandon was readily accessible to us, even taking panicked phone calls from us in the middle of the night, meeting us at a moment's notice to look at houses that had just come on the market hours earlier and attending all essential meetings with us (and sometimes without us when necessary) as our agent -- at all times representing our interests.
Once we finally found a house to purchase, he was in constant communication with us, keeping us posted on every aspect of the transaction--from presenting the offer, working with our lender to ensure the financing went smoothly, inspections, escrow, forewarning us of potential pitfalls, etc. He consistently went above and beyond for us to ensure the deal went smoothly.
Brandon is a great agent who respects and takes care of his clients. He is honest, professional, contentious and will at all times represent his client's interest without compromise. He'll teach you as much or as little as you want to know about real estate transactions and let you conduct the process as you'd prefer.
