About HAL:

BROKER, REALTOR(r), Accredited Buyer's Rep., Certified Staging Professional, Certified Seller's Rep

I have NEVER been one to keep my opinions to myself. I promise to always be candid, honest and straightforward with you. I want ours to be a relationship built on friendship and trust. I do not believe in high pressure and will not ever push you into making a decision before you are ready. However, I promise to provide unlimited support to allow you to make the right decision when the time comes.

I work hard at minimizing the chaos in your life and guiding you through the process of buying and selling your home in as painless a fashion as possible. It is not just my job, it is my joy.

Whether you’re buying or selling a home, my extensive knowledge of the Seattle housing market and of each of its neighborhoods will prove an invaluable tool. You can’t underestimate the need for years of field experience and hard-earned knowledge in having a deep-rooted understanding of neighborhood pricing for buying or selling.

As an extra bonus, I bring 20 years of personal experience in renovating homes and have made the study of architecture and architectural styles a favorite avocation. I love to share my knowledge of homes and share with you about the homes we see and the homes you live in, about their architectural style, their history, and to help you realize their potential beyond the existing décor, furnishings, and colors.

I am constantly working to make sure you’ll enjoy an agent with all the tools you’ll need. In the past few years, I have received my Accredited Buyers Representative as well as Accredited Sellers Representative designations. I have my certification as an Accredited Staging Professional and have been selected as a Seattle Magazine 5-Star Professional as a top Seattle realtor every year it has been awarded.

For Sellers, together with my business partner, Jeff Green, we provide a full range of marketing techniques. Your home will be featured on our freshly updated website with detailed photographs displayed to any potential homebuyer shopping through the internet. Your home will be immediately listed through the Northwest Multiple Listing Service allowing thousands of Puget Sound Agents to work together to sell your home. We will individualize our marketing plan to suit your needs and work together to make your selling experience a good one.
For Buyers, it will be our pleasure to assist you in every way possible. Again, our extensive knowledge of neighborhoods and pricing will prove invaluable in finding and negotiating your new home. We will clearly and concisely review all forms with you of the purchase and sale agreement and make you an active participant in your purchase. We will be there for you throughout the inspection process. We can help you with mortgage pre-approvals and financing, home inspection services, architectural advice and any other assistance as necessary. We are happy to assist you with referrals to a wide range of reputable and reliable contractors once you’ve purchased your new home and never abandon you. After all, we are here to look after you and your interests. We believe in being your real estate agents for life!

And most importantly, we work as a team and we are ALWAYS here for you. And because we work as a team, you can always depend on having one of us to be here and when it comes time to talk, to meet, to negotiate on your behalf. We pride ourselves on being there for you at your open houses and not someone who you don’t know. You hired us and we will be here for you!

We look forward to the challenge of maximizing every seller's profits in record time, and matching each and every buyer with that special property. Real estate may not be brain surgery, but you still want to work with the best!

About JEFF:

BROKER, REALTOR(r), ABR, CSR, SRES.

As a native, I can promise you a deep rooted and vast knowledge of the Puget Sound area. I love my work and my enthusiasm is infectious! We will have a great time working together. If it isn’t fun, it wouldn’t be worth doing. Yet I take my work very seriously and you can trust me to cross every t, dot every i and take care of you to the nth degree.

I’ve had twenty years’ experience in the fast paced, ever-changing sales industry. You’ll find unparalleled customer service when you work with me. Clearly, the key to being competitive in any industry is to take care of your clients. And not just when we’re actively looking to buy or sell a home for you, but to offer you a life of outstanding service. And that’s what you will find when you work with Hal and me. Service will be our middle name. When the transaction is over, we won’t be disappearing from your lives. You can count on us to give advice, help you with projects, recommend contractors and come to our annual BBQ every summer.

I look forward to sharing my years of experience with you and letting you see how going that extra mile for you really can make this the ultimate customer experience.

You can count on us that what we say we will do, we will do. This is your home. A transaction couldn’t be more important or personal, and we couldn’t take it more seriously!

To better serve you, I have furthered my skill sets so I can better advocate for you by completing the courses needed for the designation as Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES), Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR), as well as Certified Seller Representative (CSR).

Together with my business associate, Hal Rappaport, we believe in offering you the level of service we would want to be offered ourselves. We hold ourselves to a very high standard and believe in The Golden Rule of Real Estate: treat others as we would wish to be treated ourselves. I come to real estate with Hal having first been a client, experiencing this level of professionalism from Hal when I purchased my first home. Together we believe in the philosophy of superior customer service and a strong work ethic. We want to take care of your needs and questions and take care of them quickly so you can relax during the transaction. Let us take the stress so you don’t have to.

I look forward to sharing this adventure with you and know you will enjoy working with us both. Count on it. Please give us a call. We look forward to working with you.
