FROM: Shannon B. - Laurelhurst

Edie is amazing - she sold the house for $25,000 more then we thought it would go for. She sold it in 10 days! Over asking! In a market that is spiraling downward. We thank our lucky stars that we connected with Edie.

FROM: Kim Bertz - Queen Anne

I am tremendously satisfied with the service I received ? from the first meeting until the final move-in details, everything was very well taken care of. It is obvious that Edie is a perfectionist, and prides herself on attention to detail. At the beginning of my home search, I interviewed many agents. It was evident upon our initial meeting, that Edie was in another category from the majority. She had materials prepared, and spoke with a confidence and true sense of care. This was reflected through the whole process.

FROM: David Bassett- Magnolia

Okay, I am a somewhat demanding customer. That being said, Edie is the BEST agent I've ever worked with. Her marketing, experience and interpersonal skills resulted in a full price contingent AND an offer over asking price in a softening market in LESS THAN 10 DAYS! Edie's neighborhood marketing made all the difference. Edie was also excellent in "talking me down" during the emotions of an inspection response. We interviewed five realtors and I am SO glad we chose Edie!

FROM: Deb Albas - North Bend

"WOW" - What a Professional! What a Realtor! I have worked with several Realtors and Edie is by far the best. She made the grueling process of selling a home so much easier. She has an abundance of knowledge and integrity coupled with years of experience. I would highly recommend Edie to anyone and everyone whether buying or selling a home. Thank you Edie for all your hard work, expertise and the willingness to go the extra mile. Not only did I sell my home, but I made a true friend in the process. Bravo!!

FROM: Allen D. Glasenapp - Federal Way

Dear Edie,
This is in appreciation for the hard work you put into the sale of my house in Federal Way. You did a tremendous job and I want to express my gratitude for going the extra mile to ensure that I was not only well represented as a seller, but also for your delivery of a wide range of additional services that went outside the scope of just selling the house. Your network of associates and contacts in the industry gave me a broader exposure to more buyers. The various contractors that you recommended for the remodeling and repairs that I wanted to do, all did quality work at a competitive price. Your suggestions on carpet, tile, appliances and fixtures were right on the money and once they were all installed they blended together elegantly and gave the house a warm, new and fresh look. You also consistently kept me well informed in a timely fashion regarding potential offers, market conditions and on negotiations with prospective buyers. When it came down to the final offer and the financing, you did a splendid job with the details of the purchase agreement, communications with the buyer's agent, the lending institution, the title company and in smoothly navigating all the contractual legalities associated with the sale of my home. You demonstrate great pride in your work and in making sure your clients are well taken care of and well represented. I will recommend you highly to anyone seeking the services of a consummate real estate professional. It gave me great "peace of mind" to know I had a true real estate "pro" in my corner. Thank you so much.

FROM: Greg and Denise Anderson - Leschi

From the moment we responded to one of her mailers to the little celebration we had with her after closing, Edie´s performance on our behalf was superior to that of any other real estate agent with whom we have had dealings. Prior to our first meeting with her, Edie did a very thorough preparation including researching our home´s history and title, preparing a draft market analysis and identifying various potential comparisons. In addition to her advance work, we were very impressed with her open and easy communication style during our discussion. She explained how she liked to work with her clients and emphasized a "total care" approach (our words not hers). This was especially important to us since we were out of town during much of the time we were readying our property for sale and during the listing period. Edie not only talked making the sales experience easy for us but she truly delivered. Her focus on the big issues ? and there were a couple which she solved for us ? along with her attention to detail was a welcome relief to us throughout the sales process and our dealings from afar. For those reading this letter who are considering using Edie as your agent, we believe that if you do you will be as pleased as we are.

FROM: Bob and Shannon Gammon - Leschi

Dear Edie,We wanted to take the time to personally thank you for your service and dedicated efforts in selling our home in Bellevue and for assisting us in the purchase of our new home in Seattle. As a resident of Washington for over 30 years we have moved only a few times, but after the experience of selling our home and buying with you as our agent we would refer you to others without hesitation. Your personal service is unique. Your experience, knowledge and skill in marketing, advertising, negotiating and communicating each and every step of the process has been most valuable. You clearly made this most emotional experience one that we will remember fondly. We sincerely appreciate your hard work and effort in our behalf. We are happy to refer you to others.

FROM: Steve and Carol Bryant - Leschi

Edie Pew sold our home in the Leschi area. Her Tenacious and relentless pursuit of a buyer for our home helped us sell in 6 days. She Lives in the Leschi area and is extremely knowledgeable of the local Real Estate market. Her excellent negotiating skills allowed her to seek out the best deal while protecting our interests. Edie really cares about her clients and tries to make the sale transition as seamless and stress free as possible by providing information all along the way, and although we moved out of the area a few months ago we still keep in touch. We recommend her to anyone.

FROM: Jed and Carol Nahum - Madrona-Leschi

We're lucky enough to have used Edie for both the sale of one home and the purchase of another in the Leschi neighborhood. We appreciated in both cases the comprehensiveness of Edie's knowledge of the market, as well as her action-oriented planning. On the sales side, she aggressively pursued a multi-faceted marketing plan while drawing from her extensive knowledge of our neighborhood to identify an ideally-suited buyer she'd seen about town at open houses for the past year. The net result was the perfect offer within days of listing -- for a house that was by no means a slam dunk.Amazingly, when she switched to the role of buyer's agent for us, she changed the pace and let us take the time we needed to explore the inventory out there, all the while observing our reactions and reading between the lines to zero in on what we really wanted. Perhaps most impressive was the fact that she figured out what our true needs were before we actually had. The house she found hadn't hit the market yet, and represented the perfect "everyone wins" compromise between mine and my wife's needs. When she gets tired of real estate, there's probably a career in couples counseling out there waiting for her.In both cases, Edie played the role of consummate advocate for us, and orchestrated a team of dozens of players in order to make both transactions run smoothly. Our thanks to Edie.

FROM: Bryan V. - Capitol Hill

Dear Edie, Thank you for making the sale of my condo such a breeze. I asked you to handle all the details and bring me a clean final offer, and that is exactly what you did, and for more money than I expected! You helped me find workers, choose fixtures, and even arranged for the cleaners. This was my third transaction with you, and because you are such a consummate professional, I am sure that we will have more transactions down the road. Thanks for everything!

FROM: Lisa K. Fernow - Madrona

Edie Pew was outstanding. She understands the buying and selling process, knows the market, is professional, understanding and a thorough Realtor. I had very specific and unusual needs in a house, and had articulated what I wanted. Edie listened actively to my needs. She clearly understood what was important and was patient and enthusiastic throughout the many months we looked. When she found the house of my dreams it was as a result of her dedication. Edie was very helpful in working with me on negotiating and ensured all the parties followed through with their responsibilities . The importance of having a Realtor like Edie cannot be overstated. I would recommend her highly. Lisa K. Fernow

FROM: Lyndall Nipps & Buck Irwin - Capitol Hill

When we decided to sell our Seattle home and move back to California, we were admittedly apprehensive, due to the state of the current overall economy. We interviewed 3 agents in total. Edie Pew was not only the one who most impressed us with her presentation and thoroughness, but she also gave us a strong sense of confidence about moving forward. Edie came recommended highly by our friends, Greg and Denise Anderson. They felt we could not go wrong, and that we would ultimately feel like we made the right choice through Edie. Edie was always professional, courteous, concerned, empathetic, but the characteristic which stands out most in our minds is her strong sense of making the experience about us; about our needs superseding those of others around us. Edie was not only tenacious and a strong advocate in our negotiations, she always apprised us of current status, and never rushed us to make a decision. Many agents with whom we have dealt in the past have had a superficial quality of making a client feel valued, when they actually only wanted to hurry through to the next client. Edie always made us feel important, and totally focused upon. The Landmark Group is lucky to have an agent like Edie Pew , and we feel that any client would be lucky to have her as their Real Estate Agent. We recommend Edie Pew highly.

FROM: James Hing - Judkins Park

Edie is simply the best Real Estate professional I have ever worked with and I have worked with many. She is knowledgeable, dedicated to making her client completely satisfied, meticulous in the details and her skills at negotiation and communication are unmatched by anyone I have ever used to buy or sell real estate. If you are selling a home her advertising and marketing expertise will get your home SOLD! If you are a buyer she will find you the home you want and get you the best price,terms and location. She really understands how to make the process work for you.As she says "Remember it's all about you ! When it's your time, choice,and money, Why not work with A Realtor who gets the results YOU want because life is waiting!"

FROM: Brian Williams - Oueen Anne

Success in Real Estate is priceless so when you need the best agent in Seattle call Edie!

FROM: Aileen and Joel S. - Burien 2011

"You are amazing! It just happened that the Best Realtor who is most knowledgeable on Short Sales answered the phone when we inquired about the Burien home we purchased. Her knowledge on remodeling, construction, septic systems was so very valuable in helping us through the roller coaster ride with the seller and lien holder .

From the buyers lender:

Thank you, also, for all of your hard work on this. I know what a challenge this transaction has been and you have handled it BEAUTIFULLY!!! I hope to be able to work with you again in the future :)
