Ray Dove

We always looked forward to looking at homes with Ray. He had a way of making the experience exciting and taking the worry and concern away. We bought our first home with Ray and will use him again. We had all kinds of questions and expectations and Ray was always willing to answer any question we had. Because he has been working in the Puget Sound for a long time he also knew what questions to answer that we didnt know to ask. We were in good hands with Ray and we are always recommending him to our friends. We are having a great time in our first home, thanks Ray!

Our experience with Ray Dove was superb! As first-time homebuyers we were a bit nervous taking this big step in life. But Ray was so knowledgeable, professional, honest, and extremely patient that we really didnt need to worry about anything. He wasin constant communication with us during the entire process and always available to answer any questions we had. We never felt pressured into taking any steps we werent 100% comfortable with.Even our girls (2 and 8 at the time) were very fond of Ray and always excited to meet up with him, not just because he had Red Vines at the office, but because he is such a charismatic and likeable person.When we are ready to buy our next home we will absolutely be giving Ray a call, no doubt about it!

Ray is not only a great realtor, but a great person all around. He genuinely cares for each and every person in his circle, whether they are doing business with him or not.

Ray is very knowledgeable and a great negotiator. He helped us with our home search by listening carefully and then presenting us with great prospects. It was so much fun going out on tours as he is able to mix fun with business. I know that our son enjoyed visiting with Ray and it sure made things easier when taking him along. In the end we found a really great home in a desirable neighborhood. Ray gave us great advice during negotiations and was never pushy to get things closed. You truly want to have this guy on your side! Top Qualities: Personable, Expert, High Integrity.

When we first met with Ray, we were basically clueless about the entire house buying experience. All we knew is that we wanted a place to call home. Fortunately, we had been referred to Ray by some friends, and after the first meeting, we knew he was the right realtor for us. We came away from that meeting not only feeling energized about the house buying process, but also that he wasnt out to make a quick sale and truly had our interests at heart.Ray taught us a lot about the entire process, from figuring out what we really wanted, having a successful house warming party, and everything in between. Ray answered all of our questions, no matter how dumb they might have sounded, and was always available to chat.We also asked Ray about other people, i.e. inspector, mortgage broker, or electrician. The people he recommended to us were just as kind & professional as Ray was. When youre working with Ray, you not only get him, but the years of experience that allows him to know all of these wonderful people.We really enjoy spending time with Ray. He always has a genuine smile on his face and its immediately apparent that he enjoys what he does for a living.

We were looking for a new home to buy, and a work colleague recommended Ray. What impressed us immediately about him was that rather than push us into making a specific kind of purchase, he gave us a good overview of the current housing market and clearly spelled out the purchasing process. During the process itself, we found him very helpful in deciding whether to go for one option or the other; we also found him very prompt in keeping us up to date as to how the stages in the purchase were progressing. Lastly, he was able to help us negotiate a good deal on the home that we eventually ended up purchasing. We would certainly recommend him to anyone else looking for a new home to buy.

He consistently takes that extra step in assisting you even if you are not doing business with him. He focuses on exceeding your expectations. He does not focus on his needs but on the needs of those around him. Ray is not just a real estate agent, but a community person that is well connected. If he is not able to fulfill your need, he finds you a person that can. His relationships are long lasting as he is dedicated to each person whom he serves and interacts with.

Ray Dove was instrumental in getting our condo sold in a very difficult market. We ran into several issues and I must say that Ray was on top of each and every one of them. He facilitated issues with our homeowners association,an outside vendor, and a situation that arose after the sale of the unit. Ray took care of us.I highly recommend Ray for all of your real estate needs. He represented us well and looked after our best interest.

His guidance was invaluable in getting my house ready for sale.He suggested some relatively minor changes and upgrades and because of this, I was able to list the house for a higher price. Rays expertise in price setting also proved invaluable. The first offer came in less than two days after the listing and I had three more offers within a few days. Ray guided me through the negotiation process to help me get the best possible outcome. When difficulties surfaced during the home inspection process, Ray took an active role in resolving the challenges. Ray went over and beyond what most realtors do for their clients minimizing the stress and making it an overall pleasant experience.

Ray Doves knowledge and expertise is needed for anyone looking to buy a home, a piece of the American Dream, and of course Ray is an expert in selling homes. Ray was my agent when buying my last home, I was not new to home buying and therefore recognized the level of superiority and service I received from Ray. Once we selected a home, that is when the magic happened. Ray moved through the process quickly and professionally with followup that is second to none. He does what he says he is going to do and keeps the process and all time commitments moving along. Therefore, I knew when my daughter was purchasing her first home, she needed Ray Dove and she was not disappointed. Ray is an expert at posing critical questions to his clients throughout the process. Questions that insure you move into a deal with your eyes wide open. Ray Dove is one of the best in the business!
