Reilly was great! He helped us through a complicated sales process with multiple moving parts. We were updated regularly on the relevant issues and he was actively involved in the critical negotiations. Reilly has a wealth of experience to combine with his empathetic style.

I worked with Reilly Schanno on the purchase of a new home and it was a great experience. I would highly recommend meeting with Reilly for and/or assistance in purchasing a home or selling your property for the following reasons: #1. Organized and Knowledgeable: Reilly knows the market and he's VERY organized. He knew every sale comp I tested him on (!) with history/ context to the transaction which helped me in my evaluation. He's organized in coordinating the tours / sewer scope's / inspections, paperwork which made it so easy for me. #2. Trust: As I got to know Reilly thru the process and he steered me in the right direction based on my goals/ needs every time. #3. Insanely patient: Reilly showed me a number of homes and spent time with me to evaluate the pros / cons based on my overall needs LOVED working with Reilly and I would absolutely use him again. HIGHLY recommend him.

Reilly is a superb broker! We were casually searching for possible investment property and/or replacing our primary resident. I met Reilly at an open house that he was there to preview and he asked if we were working with an agent. I said no and would love if he would follow up with us. I had had the same conversation with other agents in the past without much success to be quite honest. To my great pleasure and surprise, Reilly immediately followed up with us and gave us a great tutorial on how to navigate the competitive Seattle market. We also had the added complication of having to sell another home before moving forward with a new investment and it took much longer than we had anticipated. Reilly was patient and continued to give us options to preview so when we were ready to move forward, we now had a great understanding of what we could expect to see, at what price and the potential issues to be on the look out for. We closed on a great investment property in December that Reilly was able to show us before the property hit the market, a great advantage right now in Seattle. His follow through and just overall knowledge of home selling and buying was stellar and we could not recommend a better agent. I should add that my husband is a 40+ years commercial broker and he has nothing but the highest regard for Reilly as a real estate professional. We hope to have another project or two in the future and would not considering working with anybody but Reilly. Buying and selling in Seattle is a bear, you need an experienced, strategic and boots-on-the-ground agent to help you navigate; top of list is Reilly.

Reilly was very helpful in walking us through the process. As a practicing business and tax attorney I have perhaps unfair expectations when it comes to professional service providers. Reilly was a consistent and calming presence, and an excellent advisor throughout the process. We ultimately closed on a great property in one of the hottest in city neighborhoods. I highly recommend Mr. Schanno.

In a market crowded with agents, Reilly stands out for his service, dedication, and tenacity. We have tasked Reilly with finding us rare investment values in a seller's market, and he has delivered with numerous leads, one of which recently culminated in a transaction. From start to finish, Reilly was committed to ensuring we had a great experience, saved on expenses, and closed a complicated deal. He poured hours of effort in during nights and weekends. He took great pride in making sure that we were satisfied when he handed over the keys. One aspect of Reilly's work that really makes him stand out is his frequent, clear, and organized communications. This includes email, phone and text! He was always very responsive, and also reassuring. We look forward to continued work with Reilly, on both sides of future transactions. Any participant in the competitive game of Seattle real estate would be very well represented with Reilly working on your side. We can recommend him without reservations... and rather with great enthusiasm.

We used Reilly as our buyer agent in fall 2013, and have recommended him to a few of our friends who successfully purchased a house in the past year. The reason why we would choose Reilly in such a competitive market is mainly explained as follows. Reilly is very knowledge of the local market, coming with the years of experience he has. As a first time home buyer and new immigrant to the greater Seattle area, having an agent who knows what he is doing was crucial. He is very familiar with characteristics of each neighborhood, fundamental evaluation of different home conditions, and well connected in the local real estate communities such as builders, inspectors, lenders, and other agencies. Reilly has a great personality. As a type-A person, I would not work well with the typical “pushy” or sale driven agent. Reilly was very flexible, easy going, and most importantly has empathy for his clients most of whom are making the biggest financial decision in their lives. He spent time to understand our needs, and provide as much support such as house sourcing and due diligence as possible in a timely fashion. He behaved as a calm and reliable partner in the stressful negotiation stage, which brought a sense of comfort and support for us. Professionalism and customer empathy are the main reasons why we would always recommend Reilly to our friends.

We have worked with Reilly to complete purchases of two homes and the sale of another home in the Seattle area. Reilly has provided white-glove service for three transactions, and he was key to arranging lenders, landscapers, project managers, painters, and staging professionals for the sale of our house. Our first purchase was like finding a needle in a competitive market haystack on Capitol Hill. Like many buyers, we had become frustrated with multiple bid scenarios for the best properties within our budget range. Reilly listened intently to understand the characteristics of the property we were looking for and found it before it hit the MLS. We were prepared to view it within hours of listing and had aligned the components of our offer and inspection in short order. We stayed in that house for 7 years, before seeking a larger home with a distinctive style in Madison Park. Reilly identified a house that was matched the style we sought and then patiently worked with us to negotiate the right price at exactly the right time. I’ve confidently referred Reilly to a number of friends, colleagues, and corporate relocation specialists for their home searches in Seattle, Mercer Island, and the Eastside. He's expert in Madison Park, Capitol Hill, Leschi, Madrona, Mt. Baker, and other neighborhoods. He's perfect for people relocating to the Seattle area and looking for homes close to Amazon, Facebook, Expedia, Gates Foundation, etc.

'Working with Reilly helped turn a potentially stressful life changing event into wonderful, seamless experience. Reilly not only helped us purchase our home near the Arboretum, but also represented us in selling our condo at Olive 8 in downtown Seattle. Handling both sides of the transaction was a juggling act, and Reilly not only sold our condo within 3 weeks, but also found and closed on our new home with no issues, simultaneously and on time. Working with Reilly means you feel like you are his only client - he was in constant contact, extremely responsive, understood our needs and wants in a home, and worked really hard to get us exactly what we wanted. We found our dream home in an intensely competitive market, and because of Reilly's experience navigating the Seattle market, he was able to help us close the deal. Reilly was also very involved in mediating our loan process, and making sure all sides of both deals ran as smoothly as possible. Often I would check on something, to find Reilly had already handled the issue, request, or answered the question. I can't speak highly enough of his work ethic, knowledge of the market, experience on both the buy and sell side, and ability to negotiate all while being a lot of fun to work with in the process. We will undoubtedly work with him again.' -Chris & Dina Saites

Great marketing plan. Presented all options each step. Gave advice on each aspect and provided options for multiple paths including handyman, inspection and staging. We had multiple offers right away and Reilly navigated the alternatives and weighed options.
