After renting in Columbia City and SLU, we wanted to purchase a home, but not trade in our city lifestyle. We are a first time home buyer family that wanted a turnkey home, on a specific budget, in one of the most competitive markets...I thought this was a difficult challenge, but Caitlin made it a reality! She took the time to listen to, and understand, our needs, wants, budget and was off running to make it happen. From the start, Caitlin sent material to help educate us on the market and all steps of the home buying process. She responded to all communications/questions the same day, was always on time, extremely detail oriented, and we had a lot of fun along the way. One thing we really enjoyed is the way she leveraged available technology and market data to our advantage and was extremely transparent with all information. I am the type of person that ALWAYS wants to 'get the best deal' and I was so happy Caitlin was on our side… and delivered! We started our house hunt journey with other top brokers in the area and Caitlin set the highest bar. Where other brokers encouraged us to buy because it technically 'checked all of our boxes,' Caitlin was passionate about finding us the perfect home. She leveraged her market knowledge and expertise to guide us to our dream home and didn't just jump at the opportunity to make a sale. It was the perfect balance of patience and swift action (because you have to move quick in Seattle) that landed us our dream home. She fully earned our trust and I wish we met her sooner. When we closed on the house Caitlin was there to welcome us. She even went the extra mile to schedule a lock smith to update the locks and connect us with her contact for blinds. For such a big life moment, expensive one too, we wanted to make sure we got it right. We are excited to make family memories here, enjoy a walk score of 90, great schools for our growing family and a 15-minute commute to work downtown. Caitlin helped us achieve this goal and she will be our go to for any home needs.
