“Our situation required that we find a team who could handle every single detail of selling our Seahurst home. Eric and Emily were recommended to us and they did not disappoint. They are terrific to work with. They listen to you, they give you great advice, they do what they say they will do. Hire them - you won't be sorry.“

“Emily and Eric helped us make a difficult transition during which we had to leave our beloved condo and move to a senior living community — something we didn’t want to do, but health challenges required the change. Yes, Emily and Eric are exceptionally knowledgeable about the Seattle real estate market and their advice about marketing and pricing was clear and made sense. But I want to also acknowledge the sensitivity they showed to the challenges we faced and the advice and support they offered. We’ve moved many times, working with many agents along the way - Emily and Eric were, by far, the best..“

“Eric and Emily were fantastic in successfully leading us through our recent real estate journey. First they helped us find the perfect view condo that we wanted for our retirement years. They helped us to understand how we could financially arrange that purchase and still have time to subsequently sell our home.They jumped right in and helped us prepare our home for sale, including monitoring the property once we had moved out. Then they quickly put together the sale of our house for the price we wanted.We would heartily recommend this dynamic duo for anyone selling or looking to buy real estate!“

“Working with Emily and Eric to buy our first home was an absolute JOY. We started this process with a list of concerns and a longer list of questions, and from the first phone call Emily and Eric were patient, ready to answer questions, and clearly invested in our success. Before we signed with them, they shared detailed educational materials and spent hours with us, addressing our questions and getting a sense of what we were looking for. Once we got started with the process they were all in. No question seemed silly, no option was off the table. They made sure we went into each offer with clear eyes and confident terms. We had multiple all day tours criss-crossing the city to look at properties, and Emily and Eric approached each house with excitement and a great sense of humor. Their pawfessional assistant Violet was a reliable companion on these days and provided some much appreciated breaks from looking at homes. Throughout the process, Emily and Eric connected us with great home inspectors, brought teams onsite within hours to enhance our negotiating position, and were always available for a quick sidebar or long form strategy session. Even after we closed and received the keys from Violet, they provided references for additional services, check-in messages after weather events, and guidance on the new chapter of home ownership. We WHOLEHEARTEDLY endorse the Austin and Martin team and know that those who choose them will be in good hands for the entire home buying journey.“
