I was 8,000 miles away in Asia when I decided to purchase a home in Bellevue. My priority was finding an agent who is trustworthy and can guide me through the actual transaction process. I was fortunate to meet Scott, who helped guide me through my first home purchase in the US with complete ease. Scott demonstrated deep local knowledge. He was able to educate and help familiarize me with local neighborhoods. Whether it was the distance to good schools, how sunlight (or lack thereof) affects each property during the day, or potential construction that would influence the attractiveness of the properties, Scott was able to provide invaluable insight that helped in my decision process. Throughout my buying experience with Scott, I never once felt pressured into closing a deal, or that a house would be sold to another buyer if I did not move fast enough. He was patient in answering my seemingly endless questions relating to the purchasing process. Despite the difference in time zones, Scott was very prompt in responding to my emails and phone calls. Scott’s objective advice is truly appreciated, especially from a foreigner who has little local knowledge. Scott has an impressive network of good, reliable independent local contacts. He was able to recommend me a reliable home inspector and contractor. I did not had any nasty surprises after purchasing the home. I was very satisfied with the services provided by the various parties. In short, I had one point person, Scott Whittlesey, who guided me from 8,000 miles away throughout the whole property purchase process; he is someone I trust and fully recommend.
