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.

Solid from start to finish. Good local market knowledge, consistent communication and well established connections.

Doug, provided me with exceptional help in selling my condominium in Long Beach, Washington, even though I was now in Portland, Maine. He took care of getting the unit ready to show more energetically than I would have expected. He kept me informed of the process, and he helped guide the eventual purchase offer to a successful and swift close. I recommend him high, and without reservations of any sort.

Moving from another state was intimidating at first, but having Doug on my side was a great experience. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeableabout the area and truly had my best interest in mind the entire process. I couldn't have had a smoother transaction if I tried. Would definitely use him again in the future.

Doug came highly recommended by my Oregon realtor. He moves more houses than anybody. I know I was very lucky in my timing, but we got a full price offer in less than 2 weeks. Cash. Doug has what it takes. TY, Doug!

Doug is knowledgeable about the Pacific County market, he provided guidance and suggestions as we placed our home on the market. House sold within the average number of days for the area. Excellent communication with us via text, phone and email as we no longer reside in the area. Closing was done completely online. As stress free as it gets when selling a home! Thank you Doug :)

I have had the great privilege of knowing Doug for many years. He has been my realtor on 3 home sales. And I couldn’t ask for a more professional, hands on approach to selling my properties. Works hard to meet my needs and the buyers. I would recommend him to anyone and have.

It is difficult to find the right agent when looking whether to move to the area from an airplane ride away from Washington. Doug initially was not our first choice as he only focuses on the Long Beach Peninsula and we were looking at several areas along the Washington coast Columbia river. We can now say with confidence it would have been a big mistake if we did not sign on with Doug for our new home here in Ocean Park. Essentially a lifelong resident of the peninsula from his adult years, his local knowledge of the market, how it differs from more urban/suburban areas (unique in a sense), and ability to help us find the right home and get to a successful transaction was excellent. When first exploring potential homes on the peninsula, he was able to provide deep knowledge and history of the different towns and specific areas that helped us confirm the ideal home, including pros/cons and potential alternatives. Going through the negotiation and closing process from a distance, he kept us well informed and calm (relatively, LOL) in reaching a very good agreement for us as buyers. As we settle in to our new life on the peninsula, we hope our paths cross often (although not from a surf rescue) and we're able to share a favorite beverage or two upon occasion.

Working with Doug was outstanding. His knowledge and market experience was extremely helpful and the property sold quickly. Doug was responsive even when he was on vacation. Megan was also very helpful. Thanks so much we really appreciate.
