If you find yourself in search of a new home I would highly recommend Amy Baalaer at Abode Base Real Estate. My husband received a Job promotion which required us to move from Alaska to Washington in under two months so it would have been almost impossible without Amy and... read more all the work she put into not only finding the right house but negotiating with the sellers and helping us close as quick as possible.

When we finally found the house we wanted Amy was able to work with the seller's agent and articulate exactly what we needed making the whole process happen as smooth and flawless as possible. If you are looking for someone to understand your needs an wants in a house while being able to fully trust that they will do everything they can to get it for you then look no further Amy Baalaer is the perfect agent for you. Today we are officially moved in and in love with our new home. read less
