"We had the pleasure of working with Brian when the market was HOT! Brian helped guide us in updating our old house from start to finish maximizing value, while still being cost conscious. He held our hand in finding a trust worthy contractor to work with, assisted with managing the contractor and remodel project and pointed us in the right direction for everything from paint colors, kitchen counters and everything in between! He provided staging which turned out perfect, added to curbside appeal by providing yard maintenance and his marketing materials were very professional. We could not believe what our house looked like when the project was completed and it was on the market! Brian worked with us through all of the ups and downs of this process, was incredibly detailed, and followed through on every level, which enabled us sell for top dollar.

Brian also assisted us to find our “forever” home. He was instrumental in the negotiations process during a very competitive market. Without Brian’s ability to negotiate, we may not have been successful in purchasing our “forever” home located in our target neighborhood!

Brian made the process of buying, selling and updating very easy and as pain free as possible. His constant professionalism and in-depth knowledge of the industry played an important role throughout the entire process. We highly recommend Brian and now count him as not only a trusted advisor, but a friend."

"When I first met Brian he was presenting a class for first-time buyers. He walked with me through the search and purchase of my first home. Even after my purchase the friendship continued and it was wonderful to have someone to bounce questions off of. When, after only three years, a job change required me to move across the country Brian was the first one I called. He and his team helped make what needed to be a quick transition a very smooth one. I highly recommend Brian Harwood. His attention to detail and care for the client make buying and selling a home an adventure!"

"Brian is very professional and knowledgeable as it relates to his business. We found him to be trustworthy and dependable throughout our experience with him. We would highly recommend him to anyone buying a home who is also looking for guidance and counseling as part of the process, without reservation."

"Brian Harwood is THE Real Estate Broker that you want on your side. I have used Brian twice now and could not be happier with our choice to do so. Brian was able to help us negotiate and secure our home in the Ballard neighborhood at a price just below the asking price while competing against other offers. In the Seattle market, this is unheard of at this point in time. If you know the current market at all, then you know that it is common for houses to go for well above asking price through escalator clauses and competition. This is a simple review for me to write. If you are looking for a real estate professional to help you sell or buy a home, then look no further than Brian Harwood."

"Brian Harwood was a true professional throughout our home buying experience. We were extremely happy with Brian's attention to the details. During the process he was always available to answer any of our questions and concerns. Believe me, there were a lot of questions. We highly recommend Brian Harwood when it comes to your real estate needs."

Ron & Randee Maze

"Thank you Brian for all your work and advice. We could not be more impressed with your knowledge, professionalism, and approach. We will enthusiastically recommend you to any of our family members and friends who are buying and selling real estate."

Doris & Justin Nelson

"Thank you for representing us in our recent purchase of a single-family home. It was a pleasure working with you. We want to share a few words about our experience regarding our recent home purchase. Brian guided us through the entire home-buyer process, from loan pre-qualification to searching for houses, to making the offer, and closing the deal. We credit Brian with a smooth and quick buying experience. Brian offers a wealth of real estate knowledge and knows the market inside and out. We highly recommend him to everyone."

Steve & Sarah Kneller

"Moving out of the country is tough. Moving out of the country, half-way around the world, and short-selling a house is even tougher. Luckily, Brian made it easier. The decision to short sell our townhouse was emotional and stressful. We applied for mortgage modifications, interest rate reductions, and even tried to refinance, all unsuccessfully; so we thought short-selling would be complicated. Steve had previously attended a seminar that Brian led on executing short sales. Remembering this, it was a quick decision to bring in the best to help simplify a very complicated process. We met with Brian the day before we moved out of the country, and he broke-down the process, let us know what to expect, and assured us he would handle it from there. That's exactly what he did. All we had to do was initial a few forms. Thanks for all your help Brian!"

Jennifer Sehlin

"Brian Harwood is an outstanding broker. I am a real estate lawyer, and I have the opportunity to see and evaluate many brokers in the Puget Sound region. Brian is the best of the best! I used Brian to purchase my home in 2015. You will not find a more knowledgeable agent or zealous advocate. It took me over a year to find my home, and Brian drove me all over Snohomish and King County looking at properties. I have recommended Brian to my family, my friends and to my clients. You will not be disappointed if you use Brian to list your home or to purchase your next property."

Brian & Katie Lohr

"We recently purchased our second house (and sold our first) through Brian, and the experience was perfect. He was with us every step of the way, and Brian made sure we understood all of the jargon that comes along with buying & selling real estate. A home is one of the (if not THE) most expensive things you will ever buy, and you want to make sure your agent is someone you can trust. We've found this quality in Brian, and we plan to use him for any future purchases we ever make."

Patrick Butler

"As a first-time home-buyer, with a limited budget, I was initially concerned I may not receive a high level of service. Brian quickly made it clear this was not the case. He was absolutely fantastic to work with - friendly, helpful, flexible, and very knowledgeable. His experience and guidance was crucial in locating the perfect home. Brian was quick to respond, and always available to answer questions or address concerns. Most importantly, Brian's "outside-the-box" thinking and willingness to go the extra mile helped me find and close on a home before it was even publicly listed. I was able to save time and money by avoiding the competition of multiple bidders. I strongly recommend Brian as an invaluable resource and professional real estate advisor. Thank you for running a business that attracts people like Brian."

Michelle Pieper

"Brian is very knowledgeable about real estate in general and the Seattle area specifically. I believe his best asset is bringing people together and presenting/negotiating a deal that makes everyone happy. I already have and will continue to recommend Brian Harwood to anyone, from the first-time home buyer all the way to the most experienced real estate investor."

Jason Chu & Alice Mah

"Brian spent a lot of time working with us to find exactly the house we wanted in the middle of a sellers' market. We competed against all cash offers, offers over list price, and often offers with the inspections waived. Brian was able to find us a wonderful home, and he convinced the seller to accept our offer the day after it was listed! Brian was accessible any time, and he was able to work around our schedules. We will happily recommend him."

Robyn Laing

"We had a great time working with Brian. He was able to make plenty of time for us to look at many houses in several locations. He offered us good advice while we were shopping for our first home. In the end, our offer was accepted on a house that we are very happy with and for a good price. The whole process was handled fairly quickly too - in just a few weeks."

Sarah Milow-Gunther

"Brian was an absolute pleasure to work with as a broker. He was really knowledgeable about our neighborhood, and he gave us some great advice before we put our condominium on the market. Without Brian's help, we never would have captured the sales price we received for our home. We look forward to working with him again just as soon as we are ready to buy a house."

Walter & Tana Boy

"We truly appreciate all the effort you made with the sale of our Finn Hill home, the purchase of our Bothell home, and the sale of our Mount Vernon home. Your offer to clean and stage our Finn Hill property no doubt contributed to both a quick sale as well as a sales price above what we initially expected. Our current Bothell home purchase took place without a hitch, and was extremely expeditious. As to the Mount Vernon house, you and your team were instrumental in selling our rental property in a residential market far less strong than the one in Seattle, while assisting a young couple with buying their first home. Many issues were resolved in short order to meet our closing date. Above all, the instant response to our many questions is truly appreciated. We know who our broker is going to be for the next home sale and purchase. Any future clients will be in good hands, and we will be sure to share your name and our experience with anyone we know who is looking for the perfect new home!"

Chad & Linda Armour

"When people ask me to recommend a realtor, I immediately say, 'Call Brian Harwood.' When we were looking for investment properties, Brian helped us buy two residential properties - a condominium in Seattle and a duplex in Kenmore. Whether it was showing us prospective properties, or recommending inspectors and closing agents, Brian was always helpful and available. If you are an investor, or just looking to buy or sell a home, we heartily recommend Brian Harwood."

Sean & Gretchen Henderson

"It can be extremely overwhelming to live in, rent in, or move to a new area; and Brain did an excellent job in guiding us through Seattle neighborhoods. He offered information about each neighborhood and gave insight to help with our pros and cons list. Brian has a great balance of knowing when to be directive and when to let us lead. He did a good job of learning about what we liked and adjusting our search. He was a pleasure to work with, and we recommend him to any friend or family member!"

Barbara Dahl

"Brian was resourceful in panning and evaluating the sale of my condo as well as the partnership-purchase of our duplex. I highly recommend his experience and services."

Ben & Veronica Van Winkle

"If it were not for Brian, we would still be renting today. Once we let him know we were interested in buying a home, he took us through the process from start to finish. With his help we were pre-qualified for a loan we could afford and introduced to a mortgage broker who specializes in first-time buyers. Taking our financial position and lifestyle into account, Brian found properties that suited our needs. Within two months, he found a place that was perfect for us. He was also present at our escrow closing appointment to assist us. Brian is the best realtor you will find. He offers incredibly personalized service. He made our dreams come true."

Jamison Harwood

"Brian is professional, hard-working to find what you want, and patient with indecision. My all-around experience with him was fantastic, and I would definitely recommend him."

Conan Pearson

Anthony Freeman

"Brian worked hard with us using our criteria to find us a perfect condo to live. As first time buyers he went an extra mile explaining the process and helping us along including recommending a bank that would help us. He then went on to buy us a house warming gift sent us birthday cards and his Christmas letter. He is a wonderful friend and will help you find that perfect place. I would recommend him to everyone in the area and would use him again."

Austin Mixsell

*****
"Brian has represented me on three real estate transactions and I could not be more happy with the level of service and professionalism he has provided. Most recently, he acted as my selling agent and was able to sell the property for well above asking price and close on the sale quickly. You will not find a more knowledgeable or motivated agent."

Sarah Milow-Gunther

"As someone who has been in the real estate industry for over 40 years, I recognize excellence when I see it. Brian did an outstanding job selling our house. He did all the things you want and expect your agent to do and more."

Max G.

"Dealing with Brian was awesome. Buying our first investment property should have been stressful, but the knowledge and experience in investing that Brian brought to the table was a great positive compared to most people that would just show you houses. He and his assistant kept us updated on every step of the way and held our hand while we crossed the T's and dotted the I's."

Jim A.

"I needed to sell my rental property, which needed some TLC. I travel frequently, but wanted to get the house on the market as quickly as possible. Brian had the solution. He has a team of people that work with him get homes ready to sell. They do great work, are very competitive, and available when he needs them. Brian said he would oversee the scheduling of the project and provided excellent recommendations about what needed to be done to sell the property quickly. The house was fixed up and on the market 5 weeks after the renters vacated. The property sold three days after it listed.Brian did an absolutely fantastic job. I couldn't be happier!"

Peggy M.

"Brian is terrific! It took me two years to find an area to my liking and when I did I called Brian to help me purchase new construction and to market and sell my existing home. He did so with speed and great ease. He is very knowledgeable and a great guy. He is like a family friend. You want an agent....get Brian."

Angie Gille

Brian came highly recommended by a friend who he had worked with in the past. He did not disappoint. He walked us through the process of purchasing our first home and made us feel comfortable and confident. He helped us to find a house within our price range that exceeded our expectations. He has been a wonderful resource following the purchase of our home for follow up repairs and updates. Highly recommend!

"Brian was so helpful to us in every way. As first-time home buyers, we really had no idea what we were doing, but Brian navigated us so smoothly through the process and made the whole experience a positive one. We're so excited to move into our new house! Thanks to Brian and his team for all their hard work!"

"I very recently had the great pleasure of working with Brian Harwood to purchase my dream home; a one bedroom condo in West Seattle. I randomly signed up for Brian’s real estate class when I was in the beginning process of purchasing a home back in the winter of 2016; I had just been pre-approved for my home loan. I immediately found Brian to be extremely knowledgeable, attentive to the classes needs, and very connected to the belief: there- is a- home- for- everyone-we- just –needed- to- find- it. I signed onto Brian the day of our class and am so grateful! Brian effectively listened to my needs and excelled in formulating a strategy and action plan for my future home purchase. Brian recognizes the needs of others and reaches out to lend a helping hand in all areas of his expertise while building a very effective and trusting working relationship; from the beginning of our professional relationship I trusted Brian to provide me with his superior knowledge of the real-estate market and the best options available to me within the market and my loan range. As well Brian goes above and beyond the call of Customer Service; Brian truly cares. I have lived in Seattle for 8 years and have been renting an apartment and lamenting as I have watched the prices in Seattle rise more and more each year. I made the commitment in 2016 I would purchase in 2017 and my main goal was to stay in Seattle, but more so, to buy a home in West Seattle. With Brian’s superior direction, passion, knowledge and expertise I was able to turn my home owner vision into an actual action plan and Brian every step of the way, along with his amazingly dedicated and personally connected team, demonstrated an ability to transfer my home owner vision into a real goal that was accomplished and achieved on February 13, 2017. My mind is blown at the ease in which my dream was achieved! I have a deep level of gratitude for Brian Harwood and his amazing team of dedicated, caring professionals. I highly recommend reaching out to Brian Harwood for your real-estate needs and I have already begun the process of recommending and referring my closet friends to Brian, as I know, first hand, Brian Harwood leads one of the best real estate teams in King County and you will find your dreams coming true in home purchasing trusting and utilizing Brian Harwood and his fantastic team!"

Amber Oldham and Brian Manil

"My husband and I were first-time home buyers and Brian Harwood was recommended to us by both a family member and our loan officer. His knowledge and experience helped make the entire experience so easy for us. Both Brian and his assistant Amanda were very responsive and efficient and were great to work with. You cannot go wrong by having Brian on your team!"

Jacqueline Brinker

"Brian and his team are the best! The process of selling my condo and buying a new place has been incredibly smooth - and fun. Not only did my condo sell quickly, but I got to close and move into my new place early. Brian's market knowledge and insight have been invaluable, and I highly recommend him as your next Real Estate Broker! Love, love, love the new place and couldn't have done this without Brian, Amanda, and the rest of his team to help me through it all. Thanks so much!"

Jacob and Kirstin Jelovich

"My wife and I so glad we chose Brian to be our Real Estate Agent. Brian's insight and knowledge of the greater Seattle area real estate market was invaluable. He was willing to help us find the right house for us regardless of its location on The Eastside - we looked as far north as Monroe, and as far south as Black Diamond. Brian was readily available via email and phone for any questions we had throughout the process. He was friendly and easy to work with. Brian was very patient with our initial indecisiveness, we were first-time home buyers at the time, but also helped us keep things in perspective. I would recommend Brian to all of my friends and family!"

Marco Esquivel

*****
"Brian was incredible to work with! We thought for sure we would be searching for months like the rest of our friends, but we were in escrow in a matter of weeks in the home of our dreams! He was extremely accommodating with our difficult work schedules, and between he & his assistant Amanda, were always able to work with our work and travel schedules. We had a pretty long list of expectations for our new home, and he somehow managed to check everything off the list, and within our price range! We certainly aren't planning on moving soon, but he'll be the first to know if we do! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Brian & team!"

Steve Darrow

"Getting into the housing market in this time could have been very stressful but Brian was a calming presence during our search. He helped my wife and I through the process of building our priority list and the neighborhoods and communities where we would find homes that fit our wants/needs. While doing walk throughs he was a keen observer of our likes and dislikes and was able to validate those throughout the process. In this market it would be a miracle not to lose out on a bid or two and when we did it was Brian who was able to listen and encourage us to keep going. We eventually found the perfect home for us. I am typing this from the house that we found and got into because of his knowledge and understanding how to be competetive in this market. He is hardworking professional and my wife and I highly recommend you use him."

Crystal Kim and Andrew Lee

"Brian is AMAZING!!! He made our first time home buying experience in this crazy market an extremely easy and stressless process. While interviewing realtors, Brian stood out because of his superb experience and knowledge and his devotion to the client and their needs. He was always excellent at communication and very easy to reach when we had questions. He took the time to go to all the house tours with us and knew all the right questions to ask and all the right things to look for/look at while shopping for a house. We found the house of our dreams at 3pm on a Sunday afternoon and the sellers of the house were reviewing offers THE NEXT DAY and needed all offers to be submitted by 1pm Monday. Brian immediately set things in motion and was able to schedule an inspection for 9AM Monday and seamlessly worked with our loan officer to get our offer submitted ASAP before the deadline. And by Tuesday he called us to let us know we got the house!! Because of Brian's expertise, we were able to beat out multiple other offers on the house. Not only did Brian secure our dream home for us, but he also got us in contact with a great contractor who is currently helping us remodel our newly bought home. Since Brian is so well-known and entrusted in the business, he also knows all the right people to help you, from getting the right loan officer to finding trustworthy inspectors and contractors. Brian and his team go wayyyy above and beyond for their clients. We will DEFINITELY be seeking him in the future if we ever need a realtor again!!"

Darin and Amanda Price

"I just recently closed on my home and I couldn't have been happier with the process. Brian had the connections and knowledge necessary to negotiate our offer with the Listing Agent and we were lucky to have his help in this seller's market. He kept us informed throughout the entire process and was always there to answer any questions we had. He is a fantastic agent, a hard worker and someone I now consider a friend. I will be recommending him to anyone I about that needs help buying or selling a home."

Tyler Zaiontz

*****
"I met Brian on referral as the fourth and final agent to consult with prior to beginning my home search. The insight he shared throughout the entire process was everything I needed as a first time home buyer and upon meeting him, it was clear that his level of experience was unrivaled. He and his team are very knowledgeable, well accommodating and promote a smooth process overall that leaves the buyer with confidence and peace of mind. If you're looking to make the right choice on your next home purchase, giving Brian a call should be step one. "

Kim Anderson

"I have worked with Brian over the last 3 years to buy 2 houses, buy 1 condo and sell 2 houses. He is extremely thorough, professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. He always gives his honest opinion on how to get top dollar when selling and has the network connections to negotiate the best deal when buying. I have recommended Brian to friends and family and they have all be very pleased with the results.

Brian also has the network of professionals to complete anything that need to be done to prepare a house to get top dollar, such as staging, cleaning, painting, remodeling kitchen or bath. Brian includes free services such as cleaning, landscaping, etc. which are greatly appreciated when selling. He even had his cleaners come over to a new house we bought and had his team deep clean before we moved in.

His assistant is always on top of things, with status updates every Friday, and attention to detail to keep things on track.

I will use Brian again when my daughter sells her condo in the spring. I cannot recommend him highly enough, as I am now spoiled as to what to expect from a Real Estate Broker!"

"My wife and I are extremely impressed with the service, backed by experience and knowledge of the real estate market, which we received from Brian Harwood at Windermere. His advice and professional help with staging our house, as well as the skillful way he presented it to buyers, made all the difference in our ability to maximize the value of our investment. We highly recommend him."

"My wife and I heard about Brian from a family friend who couldn't stop singing his praises. We worked with him to buy our first house and were really impressed by his professionalism and expertise. He took the time to make sure we understood the process and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our purchase, even after the sale was complete. The biggest impression I got from working with Brian is that real estate is more than just a job to him because he cares about the people he's helping; we couldn't have asked for better."

Pam Cordova and Craig Smith

"Pam and I would like to give a "Laurel and Hardy" thank you to Brian and Amanda for a great job. Knowledge and experience of the real estate market was a plus. Maximized the value of our property."

Danny Lindstrom

"We recently sold our home with the help of Brian. The experience was for us a walk in the park. Brian was very professional. He is a pay attention to detail kind of guy. The first thing he asked us was what our expectations of a Realtor were. We told him honesty was #1. And that was exactly what we got. We totally trusted him to have our best interest in mind. Selling our house was a great experience and Brian and his team was responsible for that."

Gena Goh

"Brian is very knowledgeable about the local area and has a wide network of contacts that was valuable in our home search. He was able to provide great advice as we considered options and offers to make. He has been reliable, responsive and quick which ultimately helped us identify what features were most important to us and also to win a bid within a few weeks of working with him. Thank you Brian!"

Michael and Karen Baker

"Seattle is a unique city with homes on the market less than a week and offers tens to hundreds of thousands over asking. For any homebuyer, entering this market is hard. But, for first time home buyers, it is especially daunting. My husband and I had been looking for our first home 2+ years with two unsuccessful offers. We had almost given up hope but a friend recommended Brian Harwood at Windermere.

Working with Brian was peaceful and exciting. He started by getting to know us as a couple and then moved on to understanding our home interests, needs, and price range. He was never pushy and made sure we knew all of our options: comparable homes, offer structures, loan types, contract nuances. Brian was always positive and would take the time to explain any question.

Out of 5 offers we had the winning bid! My husband and I are forever grateful for the hard work Brian and his Windermere team accomplished to help us to establish our first home! The entire process from end to end was joyful and seamless. Brian personally went above and beyond by sending a cleaning crew to spruce up our home before we moved in! Wow.

Brian continues to keep in touch and we know we have gained a friend! If you are looking for an agent in Seattle hopefully you are lucky enough to get the opportunity to work with Brian.

Extra Extra: Three people in my husbands office have worked with Brian and ALL have closed homes with him. That’s an impressive batting average!"

Micheal Seng

"I'm a first home owner and have very little knowledge of buying a property. In the beginning, I was looking all of the places (Juanita, Kirkland, Fin hill, Bellevue, Overlake, Seattle, Ballard, Fremont, Greenwood, Lake City, etc.), it was because the crazy market and I just want to understand which area is the best for me to live and investment. Brian has been nothing but awesome in helping me understand what I'm looking for. He gives his expertise on the property that we looked at, and very patient, he never rushed me or make me feel rushed. His communication skills is amazing and very clear, and his assistant, Amanda, is very helpful."

Victor & Nadia Martinez

"It has been a great experience work with Brian and Amanda, they are a excellent and professional team. Brian's polite and easy way personality makes you fell comfortable and confident that combined with his deep knowledge in the property market ends in a perfect person to find the perfect property you want.

Matt Guenther

"Brian and Amanda were fantastic to work with. We didn’t know if the time was right for us to buy or not and Brian was very patient with us walking through the decision to buy and then made sure that we made an educated decision on our purchase. We have now both sold and purchased a home with Brian’s representation and he also helped my parents sell their home. I would recommend Brian to anyone who needs an agent for either buying or selling. Amanda did a fantastic job of keeping the process smooth and ensuring we had the information we needed in a timely manner. Thank you both!"

Mary Pearia

*****
"We decided to sell our home and after 'interviewing' a few realtors, Brian Harwood rose to the top. The entire process was a wonderful experience! We were so impressed with the way Brian handled EVERYTHING that needed to be done including small repairs and other things he did to get us top dollar for our home. His great support staff Amanda kept us informed of everything going on and kept us up to date with a calendar. We can't say "Thank You" enough to this team and have already recommended Brian to several people. Thanks Brian and Amanda!"

Campbell & Jeanette White

"Brian is phenomenal at what he does, and offers outstanding care, service, and value as a real estate agent. We had a fairly complex home selling process that required a good bit of work on our house prior to listing it for sale. He helped us think through all of the essential elements we needed to address in our home to get the most value out of it at the time of selling such as updating paint, refreshing the look of our kitchen a bit, etc -- all with the perspective of doing things that would be cost effective and deliver value to the new buyers, while also taking into account the budget we had to put toward the pre-listing projects. He offered excellent advice along the way and really helped us make good decisions on where to put our time and money as we prepped the house. Between that home-prep process, and the incredible people he includes in his services to help stage the house for sale, clean up the yard, take stunning photos and 3D walk-through images for prospective buyers, etc -- you are definitely going to get top dollar for your home when you work with Brian! We also worked with Brian on purchasing our new home as well, and it was the same kind of seamless service, availability, and care. He is very skilled at what he does, extremely knowledgeable, and will work tirelessly to help you reach your home selling/buying needs."

Jennifer Hurley

"Brian is an exceptional and reliable agent. He walked me through buying my first condo with patience, was available at all hours of the day, and went the extra mile with any follow-up questions I had about units wasn't sure about. He even took time during Memorial Day weekend to look into an issue with my closing, and resolved it successfully. I highly recommend him, especially for first time buyers."

Tiffiny Jaber

Jake and Kelsey Sowders

"We've purchased and sold a home with help from Brian and his team, and we would do it again in a heartbeat! They made both transactions super easy and were a pleasure to work with the entire time. My husband and I always received a quick response to any questions we might have had, no matter the time of day.
When we bought our new construction house, Brian went to bat for us and made sure we got everything that we wanted at the best price possible. They walked us through every step of the process and made us feel so much more comfortable, even when dealing with a somewhat difficult builder. He was there for every single walk through and was the point person from start to finish. Recently, we hired Brian to sell our house and we couldn't be happier with how smoothly it went. As a young family of five about to move across the country, it was a particularly stressful time. After we met with Brian and agreed on specifics, he told us not to worry about anything other than packing our stuff and moving out. We were told they would take care of everything at no additional cost, and they did just that. From cleaning to window washing, landscaping to staging, you name it, they did it. I can't begin to explain how much of a help that as!! The bottom line is, Brian and his team are amazing, and we would recommend them to anyone!"

"As first-time home buyers in a hyper-competitive housing market, we could not have been happier and more thankful to have worked with Brian. Brian and his team listened to our needs, gave non-biased suggestions and thoughts to consider, and worked with us tirelessly to land us in our dream home less than one month after we began our home search. They kept in touch with us every step of the way and made absolute sure we were 100% comfortable with every decision that was made before moving forward. He's a wizard at what he does and knows the ins and outs of all the neighborhoods. I cannot recommend Brian enough!"

Brian was recommended to me from some very dear friends who had great success in selling their home with Brian and his team. It was the best advice I have ever received. To say that working with Brian and Amanda was fantastic would be a great understatement. I was kept constantly in the loop on the progress of the selling of the home and had complete confidence in the two of them every step of the way. The plan and recommendations that Brian had suggested worked out perfectly without any glitches at all. I could not be more satisfied with the overall outcome.

"I have had the wonderful opportunity of working with Brian Harwood & Amanda during the sale of my condo. Let's back up a bit… several years ago, Brian had found a wonderful condo for my daughter and son-in-law. Then a few years later Brian successfully found their dream house & sold their condo successfully and quick. Then he sold my ex- husbands house in Finn Hill & found him the perfect place in Woodinville. My family kept talking about what a wonderful team Brian & Amanda are. Brian even began inviting me to Windermere functions before I even considered selling my place. So when it was time for me to sell my Condo it was just a given that I would trust Brian.

Now fast forward to Snow Armageddon in Feb of 2019. I met with Brian about 1 month prior to go over a plan for selling my Condo. He gave me his advice on when was a good time for me to sell. We agreed to a goal. My move out “condo date” was the weekend following the horrible snow storm. I, of course, was freaking out because we never knew if more snow was in the forecast? I called Brian and he calmed me down and assured me that the weekend I was moving out, the snow would stop and begin to melt. I trusted Brian and he was right. From that point on I just let Brian take the lead and guide me through the experience of a single Mom selling her Condo for the first time. None of this would have been possible without his assistant Amanda. She is very professional, fast, and excellent at her job. She communicated with me on a regular basis and never left me hanging.

Brian and his amazing team staged my home beautifully. When I first saw my flyers I cried because it looked so beautiful & professional. Brian predicated that my home would sell in about 1 week. It actually sold in less than 2 days. Brian is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. He really cares about the selling process and treats each house as if was his very own. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. My family and I now think of Brian as a friend. Plus all of his greatness he’s just an all round great guy. He’s funny, personable, has a great family. "

"If you want a team of experienced advisors to make things as easy as possible during this stressful process, Brian is your man. Brian and his team made my home selling and buying experience amazing. The free extra services he provides make the process a lot smoother and less stressful. His experience will speak for itself when it comes to buying or selling your home."

Brian is not only our realtor, but also has become our friend. He guided us in buying our first home 5 years ago, and then when we decided to expand our family, he was our realtor in selling our home and buying our new home 2 years ago.

Brian offers the full meal deal. When selling our home, he had it staged, landscaped, cleaned (even the windows!), and professionally photographed. I believe our sale was so successful because Brian was invested in every detail of highlighting the best parts of our home. When we moved into our new home, he had THAT home deep cleaned for us as well. Those are the things that set realtors apart, and takes so much of the stress of buying and selling of your plate.

What I love most about Brian (and his wonderful assistant, Amanda), is that they never make you feel like there is a question that is insignificant. They are thoughtful in their answers and understanding, especially for new homebuyers who have never done it before. There was never a point where we felt uncomfortable to raise our hand, and by the time we were ready to move forward, we felt confident in our decision making, because we were set up for success.

Brian is simply the best, and we wouldn’t go with anyone else.

"I am pleased to add another five star rating for Brian Harwood and his team. As first time buyer me and my wife were very picky with a list of criteria. In addition, we had to go with our kids to see all the houses. In all these situations We find that Brain is knowledgeable, very patient and a great communicator. We really appreciate his professional approach and respect for his clients. He also has a great team to finish up all the paper work. We are happy that we finally ended up with a beautiful house in a great neighborhood by the help of a great real agent broker. Thank you so much for your help Brain and Amanda, we did it!"

"I can't say enough wonderful things about Brian and his team! We remodeled our condo, sold it and bought a new house all in less than 3 months. Brian and his team staged our condo beautifully and got in sold in record time! Brian found us a beautiful home in our target area. We got the house and didn't have to deal with a bidding war. Brian is an excellent real estate broker, who works exceptionally hard to make sure his clients get exactly what they want."

"We are very thankful to Brian and his team! We started to communicate with him when we were abroad. And chose him from lots of other candidates cause he communicated pleasantly and professionally and was very responsive. He helped us to find and buy a house in a difficult time before Christmas when it’s hard to find good property due to the lack of proposals. But mostly he helped us even later when after previous owners left the house and left for us one unpleasant issue that were they fault but they didn’t want to fix. Brian helped us to find the decision and solve this issue in a best way that appeared good for us and for previous owners."

"We worked with Brian and his team to sell our home in Kirkland and had a great experience. Their work was invaluable as we were trying to prepare and sell our home while also moving to the other side the mountains. They took a lot of the burden and stress off of us and managed the scheduling and completion of the updates to our house and preparing it to be listed. Brian was always available to answer questions and kept us updated with progress and we always felt like the line of communication was open and honest. We ended up selling the house for much more than expected and we cannot imagine trying to navigate the complicated market and getting that price without his guidance."

Brendan Cassidy

"Brian Harwood helped my daughter with the purchase of her home and she is always telling us what a great agent he is. He was our realtor during the purchase of a second home. We saw homes with him during three different trips and then he actually took care of the purchase while we were out of State. He was extremely professional, business savvy and guided us towards a very good purchase in a nice area. Both Brian and his Assistant, Amanda were great."

"This is one case where I wish I could enter 10 stars! When it came time to sell our large Woodinville home, a friend in the real estate business recommended Brian Harwood. Brian was very knowledgable about what needed to be done to get the most money for our home, he hired and managed professionals to get that work done, he understood market trends, he has a great team working with him, was an excellent negotiator and and included in that whole package he was great to work with!"
