Elaine Pagones

Elaine has been extremely patient and caring throughout our home buying process over the past 18 months. The following four qualities differentiate Elaine. 1. Honest Feedback: Elaine provides direct and honest feedback. You may think it's her best interest to get you to buy a house. However, Elaine will openly share any concerns or potential problems down the road. It shows that she focuses on building a long-term relationship with her clients over a short win 2. Interior Design - With her background as an interior designer, she sees spaces differently. When my fiance and I had a hard time envisioning how spaces could evolve, she provided numerous guidance from colors, layout, and remodel potentials. 3. Driver vs Passenger - There wasn't a single moment in the past 1.5 years, we felt pressured to buy a house. She made sure that we recognize some high potential houses, yet she always left the final decision to us without any pressure. House buying is stressful, but having someone you can trust made it painless for us. We've put in an offer right around the time the Covid-19 started and Elaine made sure we are contractually covered in case there were any unforeseeable delays beyond our control (there were not!). Lastly, our seller wanted us to know that it was Elaine who gave her confidence that we were the right buyer out of 6 total offers. We would love to work with Elaine again at a heartbeat. Thanks, Elaine!

We sought out Elaine Pagones and her team at Compass because of their surpassing reputations. Among the properties Elaine has handled, ours was one of the more modest, but Elaine made us feel that our house was special. Her marketing was stunning—such beautiful printed materials, newspaper ads, on-line promotions, and web site enhancements, like a 3-D virtual walkthrough. We will always remember Elaine’s unflagging optimism, positive attitude,and kindness. We cannot remand her more enthusiastically. Patricia and David Junker, Magnolia, Seattle

Elaine and Heidi hung in there with me over the 10+ months search for a new home. I appreciated that Elaine did not encourage me to keep bidding higher and higher, just to "win" the bid. Instead, she gave me an honest assessment of what value the property could reasonably hold. She also did not encourage me to waive contingencies like so many others are doing. This meant we wrote about 8 offers that were not the winning bid. Throughout this, I didn't feel pressure to settle on something just so we could close a deal. I finally found a nice townhouse, and we were able to close in three weeks!

Elaine was a pleasure to work with. I liked the way she explained how my home would be marketed. She was well versed in the local real estate market. My home was sold the day after listing for a price that far exceeded my expectations. She was always responsive to questions . I would highly recommend her,
