Leah Applewhite Reviews

I am a very busy guy. My time is valuable. I am handling this transaction as part of an estate. I don't live near the property and I understand very little about real estate or the local market. . I needed someone who would come in, take command and deliver results. Everybody I know suggested "their" agent. I ended up with 21 recommendations. I interviewed five in-person after setting up a rating system. Applewhite got the listing. What did she do different than the others?

She started by asking my communication preferences, email, text message, phone ? How often should she communicate and what events should trigger a text message?

She was honest. She said the property was a wreck and it needed some TLC if it was going to sell. In her proposal she suggested 3 local painters, 3 local carpet companies, landscapers and house cleaners and a list of tasks that would maximize value.

Finally, she agreed to facilitate the upgrades( contractor access to the property, final inspections and design suggestions if I selected my preferred subcontractors. She knew I was too distant to make this happen myself.

She kept her promise. The prep was painless and took half the expected time to complete

Conclusion to this process? The property sold in 5 days for the full asking price, all cash, no contingencies.

Applewhite provided the game plan, executed it flawlessly and delivered exactly what she promised.

We were totally ignorant of the area, coming from the east coast, and Leah was patient, knowledgeable and honest. She kept an eye out for us while we were not actively house hunting and sent us listings we might like. She was happy to take us to homes I had already seen so that my husband could see them. When it came to negotiations, she was very good and had the experience to know what to recommend. We enjoyed working with her from start to finish.

Leah was a pleasure to work with and a strong advocate for us throughout the home buying process. She has deep roots in the community and provided us with insights about the community that helped inform our final decision. We would recommend her to anyone who is buying or selling their home.

Leah helped us through a very complex transaction. She kept us informed and went above and beyond more than once to help make the deal happen. I would highly recommend Leah to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

Leah is a very experienced agent and has a thorough knowledge of Bainbridge Island neigborhoods and locations. She is very friendly and easy to work with and will go out of her way to try and find the house that is right for you.
