2004-2009 Seattle Magazine FIVE STAR Real Estate Agent Award Winners 6 Years in a row - "Best in Client Satisfaction"

Seattle Magazine and Northwest Homes and Gardens contracted an independent market research company to administer a rigorous “Best in Client Satisfaction” nomination process. Over 33,000 recent homebuyers were asked to cast a ballot to identify Seattle’s exceptional real estate agents.

Each Agent was rated for:

Customer Service

Integrity

Market Knowledge

Communication

Negotiation

Closing Preparation

Finding the Right Home

Marketing of Home

Overall Satisfaction

We are very honored that Seattle Magazine selected us as recipients of this very special award.

“Below are sample testimonials from our clients.
We respect their privacy and did not include their full names, addresses and or pictures.

We are committed to client satisfaction, as the vast majority of our business is repeat and past client referrals. In many cases, what began as a “client” relationship developed into a treasured new friendship.

Without a doubt, this is the greatest reward and blessing of our careers.”

"My home was on the market for 90 days, listed with another agent, and did not sell. A friend recommended Martine and Jim.
I was very impressed with their marketing skills and staging recommendations.
I listed my property with the 5 star team, the marketing material was awesome, my home looked better than it ever did! Within a few days, we had an offer and my home was sold. Thank you Martine and Jim for the tremendous results of your work. You are an awesome team!" RN

“Jim and Martine were FANTASTIC!
They did a great job in listening and worked hard to get us what we want. Their professionalism and efforts were greatly appreciated!!
We will definitely call them for our next deal when we look for a new house.”

“The service that Jim and Martine provided to us is 1st class! They both have excellent marketing skills. Windermere is fortunate to have Martine and Jim as agents. We highly recommend their service.
It is great when an agent makes you feel that we are his #1 priority. Jim and Martine are good listeners, responsive and punctual, and most of all, they deliver what they promise.”

“Jim and Martine: Thank you so much for your very professional presentation of the house, your skillful management of the negotiations with the prospective buyers, and your diplomatic handling of the post arrangements. If I ever have occasion to buy or sell in Northern King or Southern Snohomish County again, I will be sure to call on you. I will certainly recommend your services to my friends in that area.”

“Martine and Jim:
Thank you so much for all your help and support with the listing and purchase of our home. We really appreciate your efforts and professionalism. We are grateful in that we have gained new friends.”

“Martine and Jim:
I wanted to write to say Thank You for all your help in selling our home. You did a GREAT job – the flyers looked wonderful. Also thank you for all the “extras” you did to help us sell the house, we very much appreciated it.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with you and feel we have gained 2 new friends. Thanks again.”

“To Whom ever needs Top-Notch Realtors!
….we got to know Jim and Martine Barney as they drove us around the countryside on numerous occasions to look at homes. They did not bat an eye when we called them late in the evenings—as though they should never get any time off. They are such a pleasant and gracious team to deal with and we thoroughly enjoyed their company. They were so professional and they worked together so well, that we could tell they really love what they do. We ended up looking at quite a few homes, more than twice, and their diligence paid off because we found our wonderful home that we absolutely love! Jim stepped in to “push” the closing of other real estate we were closing, and even helped us move some boxes out of our condo!
We could not be happier with the experience and complete help we received from the team of Jim and Martine Barney; we would never consider using any other realtors in the future. On top of that, we consider ourselves lucky to have such super people as our friends!”

J & SB

In all our dealings with Realtors over the past ten years, we have never met anyone as kind, helpful and energetic as you have been. Without hesitation, we would highly recommend your service to anyone who is looking for an experienced, caring Realtor who gets things done! Thanks for taking such good care of us!

Thank you Jim and Martine so much for taking the extra effort to make our first home purchase successful. You were always there guiding us through all the crucial and important steps!
