Team Reba has been helping our family with Real Estate for a long time, so when my husband and I decided to purchase our first home, they were our natural choice. Being young and a little naive we just assumed all agents were as professional as Team Reba, but our experience enlightened us as to just how awesome Rebecca and her team really are.
Having very limited funds, and a laundry list of needs, (close to family, cheap, not falling down, yard for dogs) we worked with the Team for almost a year before we found just the right home for us. Throughout everything Team Reba was supportive and we never felt pushed to buy something that didn't suit us. When we finally found what we were looking for, Reba jumped in both feet first and we made an offer. Little did we know at the time that we would all be doing a lot more jumping (through hoops) throughout the next 5 weeks.
It seemed the sellers, and their agent, were interested only in making the sale very hard for us. We had to sign away a lot of standard back outs, giving them the power. We did, but we also changed our bid to include closing costs, and a few other items. They accepted and we all prepared for the closing day. As the closing day drew nearer, the sellers realized that they had agreed to pay our closing costs, apparently they had missed this crucial part of the contract.
So they decided that they just weren't going to sign the closing documents. At this point it was very clear to all involved that the oversight of the closing costs was the fault of the selling agent, in fact, he admitted it. But he refused to take responsibility and fork up the money out of his already inflated commission. We tried to come to an agreement, offered money on our side from both us and Team Reba.
Finally after the closing date passed and we had to start speaking with a lawyer did the Broker for the selling agent step in and take over for the incompetent agent. I guess they realized finally that they were going to be facing a lawsuit if they didn't resolve it with us. During this very emotional and frustrating experience Team Reba was there at all times, they sheltered us from the onslaught of stupidity and incompetence from the selling agent, and in the end gave up a portion of their hard earned commission to help us finalize the sale. They proved to be the best agents in the West, complete with smoking rifles.
I would with glee and enthusiasm recommend Team Reba to anyone looking for an agent who is extremely professional, fun, and knows how and when to defend you from idiots.

In an attempt to ward off severe sunburn on my upcoming trip to Mexico, I have been tanning at Desert Sun in Ballard. The staff is really nice, they remember who you are, and the place is always really clean and inviting. They have 3 different levels of tanning beds, who new!! The higher you go, the better the tan, and the less cancer causing rays you get. I recommend the medium level for budget and because the higher level scares me. I am after all a pasty seattleitte.

I recently worked with this G.C. on my kitchen remodel, he was a referral from the designer I was working with. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and a great craftsman. Kirk works on the job himself, with the assistance of his son. I really loved the personal touches he added to my kitchen. They respected my home while they were here, even though it was their job site for the time being. I would definitely recommend him to any one remodeling their home. He even has a huge list of other people who recommend him if you are worried!

I went there (wallingford) with my husband a while ago and was not impressed. For such a big place it seemed they took no care in the interior design. I felt like I was in a school cafeteria, complete with the screaming children running around. I wished they had put up some drapery or curtains to absorb some of the sound and make it feel more cozy.
As for the food, my husband is Italian, and was not completely enamored with the food. You can get a better, more authentic pizza at Zagi's in ballard, and it is cheaper. I don't think I will go back to Tutta Bella, that is until I have 5 screaming children to tote along with me. Definitely do not go there if you are looking for a romantic spot. But, it is a family friendly place if that's what you require.

I went to Almvigs looking for appliances, and left with a whole kitchen!! I didn't realise they have designers on staff who can help with everything. I am so glad I went in there, my designer was able to help me with all sorts of choices that I would have been overwhelmed with. My husband and I thought we could just have our architect help us with the design, but he wouldn't have been able to provide the kind of service I got with Lacey. She steered me through the whole process and took care of everything, she worked with our contractor to ensure things were done properly, and in a timely manner. In fact, she introduced me to the contractor! All in all I am very happy with my new kitchen, and I know I couldn't have done it without Almvigs. I never had a problem getting ahold of anyone at Almvigs, I even had my designers cell phone number in case I needed to get ahold of her during days off!
