“Buying a house in Seattle can be a long and difficult journey. It certainly was for us. And I'm so glad that we had Haley with us throughout that journey.

From the moment that we met Haley, we were struck by how much she went above and beyond what we had experienced with other realtors--putting together spreadsheets to help us track the information as we were getting an understanding of the market, taking the time to really understand our priorities, and even doing the legwork to help us estimate the costs of certain expected improvements or repairs as we found ourselves intrigued by the many opportunities for "sweat equity."

But for us, the real journey started only when we were under contract on an updated mid-century house which checked every one of our boxes, and lasted until we closed nine months later. Our house had several permitting issues which ended up needing a substantial amount of work to fix over these intervening nine months. Navigating the continuing uncertainties around timelines and possible outcomes throughput these period was an extremely delicate matter that required keen personal skills and attunement to keep all parties calm and working together effectively amidst a situation that generated extremely high tensions. Hanging onto the house was important to us since it was so uniquely suited to our families needs. That being said, it's hard for me to imagine that we would have made it to the end with any other agent! 

I think that anyone who works with Haley will find that she is a valued friend by the end of the process, whether or not they find yourselves in the trenches of a prolonged house-buying standoff! And I hope for Haley's sake that they don't!”
