First off, Melanie was always extremely responsive, getting back to us quickly at all hours of the day. Second, she is very knowledgeable about Camano Island, giving us great insights on neighborhoods and island-life in general. Lastly, her network of local contacts got us information we needed to evaluate some options and also support a very quick closing.

This was our company's last home purchase of 2024, and it ended up being an easy process that netted a great deal. We absolutely love this "diamond in the rough" older property that we are currently transforming into a calm oasis tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of Mount Vernon. The money we saved on purchase has gone a long way in helping us afford the ADA adaptations our clients need for this home. A great property at a great price, thanks to Realty One Orca and Todd Fahlman. Thank you!

This is the second house I've worked with Todd and Realty One Orca on purchasing for my company. Todd is knowledgeable of the area, finding us this very nice property at a reasonable price. He was a seasoned pro at communicating with the motivated sellers and their agent, and we closed in what seemed like record time (fastest close of all 3 of the homes we bought in 2024. We really appreciate the professionalism Todd and his staff brings to the table. Highly recommend! Thank you!

Rob had contacted me almost a year prior to me selling my house. He checked in with me to tell me what was happening with the market. When it came time to sell my house he walked me through the process since it had been 12 years since I bought my house. He showed me comps and what was currently happening in the market. After the sale he constantly kept me informed of how the sale was progressing and what the next steps were until the sale finally recorded.

Selling my mother's house with Todd was honestly the best experience given our circumstances. There were so many points of uncertainty on our part that he was able to guide us through and make the process as simple as possible. We never could have done this without him and we're forever grateful for his knowledge and experience. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

After watching Celine, gracefully and timely work through and solve the many hurdles my mom went through during her home buying process, as well as all the positive comments about her - it was a no brainer to work with Celine for our own home buying process! As a first time buyer, my husband and I knew primarily nothing about what we had to do in order to find/purchase/move-in to a home. Celine guided us through every step, even repeatedly answering the same questions if we didn’t understand. As most great things have, our home buying process came with hurdles and difficulties that Celine had never worked with before - yet still smoothed out any bumps and rode right through the chaos! Celine is always timely, very communicative - and kind when doing so. She knew how to make us feel comfortable when talking with her, as if she’s a friend rather than someone working for/with you. I would highly recommend her to any of my family or friends… strangers even! She’s one of the best and she can conquer anything thrown at her!

Debbie’s experience got my home sold promptly in a market where other nearby homes were remaining unsold after weeks or months on the market. Her recommendations of when to sell and how much to ask were spot on. She correctly read the market and developed a marketing strategy that brought in serious buyers, getting me an accepted offer in about a week. I couldn’t be happier with my experience as a seller.

Rob Calkins is the best agent that my wife and I have ever dealt with. We were never pushed just guided through the process. From the first time we met with Rob we were impressed. He had a great gameplan and presented it well. Listened to our concerns and addressed each one of them. His communication was the best! Always kept us updated every step of the way. Went above and beyond what any other agent would of done. I highly recommend Rob to sell you next house.

This is my first time working with Angela. She’s super nice and friendly and was always readily available whenever we had any questions. She was also very helpful with some things that needed to be done prior to the house selling. I would definitely recommend Angela.

Celine and her colleague Lisa were the best. My husband and I took a trip to Wisconsin and while we were there we just happened apon a home that was being built on a piece of property that we loved so we made an offer that to our surprise was accepted even contingent on selling our home in Washington. We had a very short time to sell our home and move but Celine got right on it, staged our home, had her photographer take great pictures and video's, listed it right away then a weekend open house. Our house sold in 4 days for our asking price. We were so amazed and blessed to have Celine and Lisa work so hard for us. We did a simultaneous closing, packed up and moved to our new state in less than 2 months.

I wish I could explain our full situation that my family and I experienced during the sale of our home. Luckily, Rob saved us! My Fiance and I sold our house in the Sultan area all thanks to Rob and his team. We experienced some ups and downs along the way, but Rob kept us afloat through the tough and scary waters of selling ones home. Rob regularly kept in communication as well as provided countless resources to help us through the process. Every hiccup that we experienced, Rob had a plan, and a backup plan. We truly are in he and his teams karma debt. They really are a great team and Rob is by far one of the best realtors I've ever worked with. He genuinely treats you like your family! I can think of nothing better than someone who acts like family looking out for me during one of the most stressful times of my life. Thanks so much Rob! We could not have accomplished these goals we set as a family without you!

I highly recommend Merrilee. She is great to work with. She was very helpful in helping with questions we had and answered very quickly to calls and messages. She is very patient and I love that I never felt pressured on buying a home. She gave us the time we needed.
