Clear and timely communication, problem solving. Trustworthy and wonderful professionals. Thank you Doug

I have worked with Doug on a few projects over the last six years, and in all cases, he has shown tremendous knowledge about the area, the markets, local contacts, and the finer details of buying and selling. His communication and approach is straightforward and responsive, and made selling our home relatively easy.

Doug came recommended to me by a friend and quickly exceeded expectations. He pointed out good and less good things about properties we looked at. Highly recommended!

He expedited the purchasing process. All facets of the transaction went smoothly.

Doug handled our transaction with efficiency and expertise. What was most important to him, was to make us happy throughout the process. I felt comfortable with Doug right away. He was easy to engage with, and never made you feel rushed. He had to put some extra effort in on our transaction, as we were out of town, and the weather kept us from being able to sign docs. That didn't stop Doug from getting the job done. He was able to go the extra mile and help us sign regardless. Doug saw it thru and took the time to explain everything with clarity and detail. It was a pleasure to work with Doug!! Highly recommend!!

Doug was incredibly helpful with this transaction. He responded quickly to all questions. I would definitely contact Doug for future property transactions. Thank you Doug for the help!

I appreciated Doug looking after my interests in a difficult market for sellers. We were eventually able to negotiate a satisfactory deal with a buyer for my condo. Doug's knowledge of the real estate market is impressive, and I also like the low-key personality.

Working with Doug Knutzen on a complex multi‑property acquisition was an exceptional experience from beginning to end. Doug was consistently one step ahead at every stage of the process. His clear, timely communication and proactive approach made even the most complicated parts feel smooth and manageable. What really sets Doug apart is his extensive experience, deep local knowledge, and strong relationships throughout the community. Those strengths became invaluable more than once—he knew who to call, how to navigate local nuances, and which strategies would keep the deal moving in the right direction. It truly felt like working with someone who understands not just real estate, but this market and these people. Doug didn’t just facilitate the transaction—he made me feel like part of the team. His professionalism, insight, and collaborative style gave me complete confidence throughout the entire process. I will absolutely use Doug for my next property purchase, and I strongly encourage anyone looking for a skilled, connected, and highly capable realtor to do the same. Doug is the real deal!

My husband and I were looking to buy a second home on the Long Beach peninsula. I called Doug because I’d Googled “Best realtor in Long Beach”, and his name popped up. After conversing with him for 2 minutes I knew he was the person for us. His honesty and integrity was evident immediately. He had experience and reassured us that he could take care of the details on the peninsula because our primary home is in Seattle. After showing us the fixer upper house we fell in love with, he made sure to point out all the caveats of buying that particular home so there would be no surprises. Once he saw how determined we were to own this home his easy going demeanor quickly transformed into a strategic negotiator who was determined to get us the best price possible to made sure we would have the funds to do all the necessary repairs that would make the home livable. He delivered on every promise and more and we could not be happier or more appreciative! Doug Knutsen an experienced realtor, an excellent negotiator, a strong and timely communicator, and a first-rate person as well. If you are serious about owning a home at the beach, do not hesitate to give him a call; you will be happy you did!

Doug was great all the way around. I had never sold a house before. Doug was patient and took a lot of time to explain the whole process. In addition to selling our house, my wife and I were also buying a new home. Doug handled that as well. He was professional and friendly. He showed real expertise and knowledge of the market and guided us through the whole process. I highly recommend Doug if you're selling or buying. He is honest and will do his best for you.

Working with Doug and his team was great. He worked hard to make sure the property was marketed optimally and that we got the best offer. Process was smooth with Doug and his team from beginning to end. Highly recommended!

My house sale had already been "arranged" with a family member buyer but was contingent on some specific requirements on both our parts. I asked Doug if he was willing to work with me (and, ultimatelyu with "us" to bring about a satisfactory outcome for both parties. He pursued our requests -- even though they were not within "usual" house sale parameters -- and gave excellent counsel and advice to me throughout the process, even arranging for legal advice when he felt it might clarify some of my questions. He was clear in his explanations and worked in a timely manner, even though the buyer lived out of the area and timing was occasionally "tight." I very much appreciate his professionalism, his positive attitude, and his thoroughness is presenting pros and cons when our requests were "out of the ordinary." Ultimately, both seller and buyer were well satisfied with the process.
