Aaron Hendon

We were looking for homes in the Seattle area but it's a pretty insane market right now. Homes are selling for a hundred thousand dollars above asking price with about 20 offers. So it is a pretty heated market. Aaron is really good at assessing what a client is looking for, and what they're willing to do and if that was possible in the market. It was really great working with him because he was very honest. There were times when there was a house we were crazy about that seemed like it was in our price point and he would say we can write up an offer on this if you'd like, but I'll tell you the truth, it's going to get multiple offers and go for the final asking way out of your price range and he was right every time. We finally ended up finding the home we wanted and he was really savvy about reading the listing agent, seeing what kind of interest there was and what was necessary to put together the winning offer.

We had been looking for a house for over a year and were getting jaded. We were considering getting a townhouse or somewhere way away from Seattle because we just weren't finding anything that was in our budget. So we stopped searching for two weeks when Aaron called us and said I found your house. We went to see the house and it was awesome. It was just above our budget and that was not including any bids from other people who were most likely going to drive the price way above what we could pay. He coached us on how to write a really good letter to the seller. We ended up getting the house at $19,000 below the asking price. Aaron's negotiations skills are top notch I still don't understand it and really can't believe we're in this house.
