My husband and I felt very fortunate to have Brooks as our agent when we sold our house in Kirkland. He was cheery, professional and easy to talk with. It is very impressive how he never appears rushed or stressed. He made a stressful undertaking much less so, and sometimes even fun. He demonstrated a high level of knowledge and skill throughout the process. Early on we decided we trusted him, and then we just took his advice and didn't worry about things nearly as much as we would have. Our local market presented an unexpected challenge in the weeks leading up to listing, and it was only reasonable to lower our expectations about the closing price. However, in the end, Brooks delivered a smashing result. We received 9 offers, including an early one, and the top 2 were significantly over listing. It was as if the market problem had never occurred. Two comments about his style: I appreciated his succinctness. Getting to the point quickly helps to minimize stress and fatigue. Also, I really liked how he presents as warm and natural, without becoming inappropriately familiar for the situation. Thank you, Brooks!
