Doug took care of eveything including the removal of a bad renter.

Doug Knutzen went above and beyond from start to finish with selling our beach house. We live in a different area and couldn't be there after we met with Doug to list the house. Doug helped line up all contractors needed during the process, he also got quotes from other contractors when he felt the price seemed out of line and even went to property to make access to the septic tank for the service to be done easily. Doug kept in constant contact during the entire process was extremely knowledgeable in the process and answering any questions ( lots of questions) we had. We greatly appreciate all that Doug did in helping us sell the house and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.

We purchased the house remotely so Doug took extra steps to guide us through the process. He dealt with the inspection, provided extra assistance with the details of the new house, and gave us useful information about our new community. He always responded promptly with any questions or concerns we had. When he wasn’t available, his associate Kaylin Culver stepped in and did a wonderful job! They were a great team and I would recommend them to anyone needing to sell or buy a home on the Long Beach peninsula!

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!
