I am a 53-year-old father of triplets who recently went through a separation and needed to find a house the buy as well as sell the one I am in. I have bought and sold several homes over the years and usually used the most popular and recognized agents In specific areas like Magnolia, Queen Anne, and Capital Hill. Although for the most part, they have been very good I am a high-maintenance client who wants to know when the best homes hit the market immediately at the best prices so I do not lose the opportunity to another party. I know agents do their best but the most popular ones usually do not have the time to cater to everyone and the other agents who do usually do don't have the experience.

I am a 53-year-old father of triplets who recently went through a separation and needed to find a house the buy as well as sell the one I am in. I have bought and sold several homes over the years and usually used the most popular and recognized agents In specific areas like Magnolia, Queen Anne, and Capital Hill. Although for the most part, they have been very good I am a high-maintenance client who wants to know when the best homes hit the market immediately at the best prices so I do not lose the opportunity to another party. I know agents do their best but the most popular ones usually do not have the time to cater to everyone and the other agents who do usually do don't have the experience. I sometimes like to deal with just the listing agents as well because they have all the information about the dynamics of the seller situation and when they are allowed to get both the seller and buyers' commission they do things like call you back right away, let you know about where you need to be price wise, etc. Funny how it works that way. Anyway, I recently went looking for another house because my triplets are going to high school and were fortunate to come across the best realtor in the business in my opinion Terri Agee Smith. She listened to my needs, understood the dynamics and differences between the buyer and seller agent relationships, and worked every day to send me listings that are in my area of interest at the price points I am looking for immediately when they hit the market. When the other agents I used to work with learned of my recent activities I started to get some of the same listings that my realtor had already been sending only a day late and a dollar short. All I can say is that Terri Aggie Smith doesn't do it that way, she just works and works to provide the most professional service I have ever experienced in looking for and buying a new house. I feel I am in an episode of the Property Brothers buying and selling. She found me a great house at a great price and is now preparing my house to get ready to sell from finding me a highly rated contractor to getting me a pre-inspection so I can fix the issues before the house comes on the market to providing interior or staging help (personally) to house sitting with all the vendors and making sure to do it timely to even fixing my sick son lunch who unfortunately afflicted with arthritis and home most of the time while I am at work. Incredible service!
Several years ago we happened to meet Terri Agee Smith when looking at a nearby townhouse more or less for fun. Nonetheless, I was impressed enough to save her card which was something I had never done. Recently, Terri helped us buy a new one and sell our old condominium. Thank goodness I saved that card. Terri is amazing! My husband and I had heard that a condo we thought we wanted was going to be listed. We contacted Terri. We met with her the next day and told her that we were not even sure we wanted to move. We were only interested in one unit and it wasn't even on the market. Nonetheless, Terri said she would love to work with us and would let us know when the unit was listed. It was listed a couple of weeks later and she was kind enough to take us to view it twice during the week it was listed. Terri helped us write a competitive offer when bids were taken.

It was listed a couple of weeks later and she was kind enough to take us to view it twice during the week it was listed. Terri helped us write a competitive offer when bids were taken. Once we had purchased, Terri helped us find painters, electricians, and even cabinet people. She met contractors when we could not and facilitated our move to the new place in every possible way. Terri even found people to organize the actual move - Moves Made Simple. She is amazing! Meanwhile, Terri helped us find a stager for our former condo and listed it as well. We knew the time for the quick contract had recently passed and asked her how long she thought it would take for us to sell. She said a month. She was right on target. A month later we signed a contract. Terri had kept in touch the entire time. She had open houses for which she was there. Every week she told us how many showings we had had and what people she thought were interested. All the while she was still assisting us with our new place. We are a 67-year-old retired couple and have sold quite a few properties both in Seattle and in the state where we raised a family. Terri is the best agent we have ever met. As my husband put it, "Terri somehow makes you think you are the only person she is working with although she has lots of clients." He was right. Terri is a successful real estate agent working with more than one person at a time, but she makes you feel she has all the time in the world to help you, talk to you, and even meet the painters for you! She amazed us with all she did. Besides being an exemplary professional, Terri is a charming, kind person. She is a pleasure to work with and someone you enjoy knowing. I recommend Terri wholeheartedly.
Terri was the listing agent on a home my husband and I were interested in. We didn't buy that home, but we liked her a lot! So, we signed on with her to help us find our new home. It was the best decision we made! Terri is incredibly knowledgeable about the Seattle area. We were looking in 4-5 of the 'hottest' family neighborhoods (Bryant, Wedgwood, View Ridge, Ravenna, Madison Valley) and she knew the ins and outs, pros and cons, of all of them! As a local, she has that personal experience of raising a family in the very neighborhoods and schools where were looking to purchase a home and establish our family. it was invaluable to have her expertise. Terri is also very organized, responsive, and helpful. She provides relevant information before you have to ask, and if she does not know the answer to a question, she is quick to find out and return with a thorough answer. Terri used our ti…

Terri is also very organized, responsive, and helpful. She provides relevant information before you have to ask, and if she does not know the answer to a question, she is quick to find out and return with a thorough answer. Terri used our time well. Many times, she would drop by a new listing and send me a report via email and she often would view listings before we went out together so we wouldn't have to waste time on homes she knew I wouldn't like. She was open to a range of possibilities even those at the lowest end of our budget. We never felt pressure to "buy up" or that the sticker price was driving her advice or sales pitch. Because of this, I felt like I could trust her guidance. Terri also has many contacts in the business and was able to schedule inspections and sewer scopes within hours to make deadlines to place an offer. In a competitive market like Seattle, the inability to secure a trustworthy home inspection could cost you the house you want. On a tight deadline, Terri scheduled the inspection for us the night prior and then attended the inspection the following day while I was at work I merely showed up for 15 minutes for the overview only to dash back to the office. Terri took care of it all and I trusted her throughout the entire process. It was awesome! We were incredibly fortunate to connect with Terri she works efficiently and with excellence. We have sold and purchased personal residences in four states, and Terri is without a doubt one of the best real estate agents I have ever worked with. She offers top-notch quality and customer service with sincerity. Terri has our highest recommendation!
Terri was recommended to us by my co-worker after we got increasingly unhappy with our previous realtor. Our previous realtor did not have time for us, offered us to visit open houses ourselves, and was interested only in writing an offer. We felt a world of difference when we met Terri. From the first interaction, Terri was very attentive to our needs, and spent a lot of time with us driving through neighborhoods, listening closely to our thoughts, and understanding our points of view. When we found a few properties we were interested in viewing, Terri went to check them out before we had time, got all the necessary information, and was able to present us with all the necessary details when we came to see these properties. When we made our choice, Terri helped us tremendously in putting in a winning offer, led us through the inspection process, negotiated with the seller to ensure that …

When we made our choice, Terri helped us tremendously in putting in a winning offer, led us through the inspection process, negotiated with the seller to ensure that defects were fixed, and made closing a breeze. After having a great experience buying the first property with Terri, we decided to work with her on buying our investment property. Even though the price of the investment property was much lower than the price of our primary residence, Terri gave us the same attention and excellent service. Overall, we are happy to recommend Terri to anyone who is looking to buy property at any price point in the Seattle area.
