Craig Avis is the best real estate broker in the NW, he’s especially good with first time homebuyers. Craig was patient throughout our long search and never made us feel rushed. He regularly and quickly updated the easy-to-use client portal with options that fit our ever-growing laundry list of requests. Once we did find our dream home Craig acted FAST. After discussing our options, he submitted an offer the same day and it was accepted less than 24 hours later. Because of our conversations with Craig and the leg work he did behind the scenes we had realistic expectations and were able to bring a preapproval to the table, that made our offer stand out. We got the very first home we ever put an offer on because of Craig. Not only was it our first home but it was the seller’s first time selling and his agent’s first listing. Craig’s expertise really pulled everything together. We fell in love with an older home but that meant it needed some repairs, Craig was able to negotiate ALL of them from the seller. There wasn’t a single thing we asked for that he didn’t get for us. On top of that he had connections and hired great people to take care of the inspections and mortgage. Craig’s knowledge from his own home renovations has proved invaluable along the way. Craig walked us through the whole process as first time home buyers and we felt really comfortable with the entire journey. Everyone talks about how horrible the home buying process is but we didn’t feel much stress at all, Craig arranged everything! He even had a notary bring the documents to us to sign so that we didn’t have to cart out infant around. We would and have recommended Craig to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Washington.
