Claire Newman helped us sell one house, helped us buy another and then, most recently, helped us sell again. With each of these three processes - all with very different personal circumstances and in different market conditions - she provided us with utterly superior expertise, support and advice. She truly went above and beyond in taking us on as clients - three times! All three times we were so happy with the results, and with Claire. She is just so astute and so good at what she does, and is funny and fun to work with as a bonus. You can't go wrong with Claire.

It was fantastic ,I called and she put the deal together fast. She answered all my questions, she is a good and trusted friend also she was a great neighbor. When she became a realtor, I asked if I ever decided to sell my house, that she will be the first one I will call. Her response was heart warming. Thank you Clara for all your hard work making my selling experience the stress free adventure that it was.

Claire is a wonderful person to help you through the homebuying or selling process. She is funny, cheerful, knowledgeable, and problem solving. She is not afraid of hard work and definitely puts in the extra time and effort to serve her clients. She not only writes and negotiates the offer for you, but she is able to assist you with the more logistical aspects of the home buying process or knows someone who can. She is absolutely amazing and awesome person and more of a friend rather than a realtor. She's just the best!

Claire is top-notch. We just sold a second property with Claire at the helm. I haven't met another broker as knowledgable about the Seattle market as Claire and she has exceptional instincts. This was immensely helpful in our situation due to urgency and timing with a fluctuating market. Claire explained everything in great detail every step of the way, making the process go smoothly with virtually no stress. We do not live in WA any longer so Claire stepped up to coordinate movers and contractors as needed. Our house sold quickly with no major overhaul at a price higher than we anticipated. If you're looking for a true pro, look no further. And if you enjoy humor, she offers that option as well.

Working with Claire Newman was an exceptional experience from start to finish. I interviewed several realtors before choosing her, and the difference was immediate. Others pushed for major changes, full repainting, or even moving out entirely. Claire took a completely different approach. She respected the realities of my life, including the fact that I had two pups and could not simply vacate the home. She worked within those guardrails with ease and confidence. Claire made thoughtful recommendations and stayed actively involved as I prepared my home for sale. She rolled up her sleeves and supported me in ways that went far beyond what I expected from a realtor. She has a rare combination of strong market knowledge, high emotional intelligence, and a calm, steady presence. I never wondered what was happening or where things stood. She communicated clearly, anticipated issues before they surfaced, and always centered my best interests. As developers began circling the property, Claire held the line on value and protected what mattered most to me. She understood that my home was not just a structure. It was a creative, sacred space that deserved the right next steward. In the end, I sold to a couple who will honor the beauty and spirit of the property. That outcome was possible because Claire listened deeply and negotiated with both strength and heart. She also advocated for me during a challenging situation with a neighbor. She handled it with professionalism and composure, which allowed me to stay focused on the sale rather than the stress. Claire is not only an outstanding realtor. She is a trusted partner in one of life’s largest decisions. The Seattle real estate market is stronger because she is part of it. I recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking an advocate who brings integrity, clarity, and genuine care to every step of the process.

Best realtor ever! Claire has unparalleled understanding of the Seattle area market. We have bought and sold multiple homes with Claire. We trust her implicitly. She goes above and beyond. She follows the entire purchase/sales process through listing, offer, negotiations and closing.

We have worked for years with Claire both buying and selling many properties. I have never worked with such a competent, thorough and professional realtor. She pays attention to all the smallest details and conquers the big issues. I have great respect for her and her capabilities.

Before becoming a (very happy) client of Claire's, I worked with several other area realtors—and bar none, she's the best. You're making one of the biggest decisions of your life: You want someone highly skilled, who you can trust, and who truly cares. That's Claire. I recommend her to everyone!

Claire did a fantastic job representing my wife and I in the recent sale of our home in Madrona. We greatly appreciated her attention to detail in staging and marketing the house, her knowledge of the Seattle real estate market, and her wise counsel as we considered the pros and cons of various offers! I would definitely work with Claire again if I were buying or selling a house in the area, and I enthusiastically recommend her to anyone else who is doing so!

I loved working with Claire!!
