Simone Grant

Simone shows great initiative in helping her customer to get their home ready to go to market and receive multiple offers. She also is a mighty hunter in terms of finding just the right home for her client even during this past season where there was an inventory shortage. She has vision to think outside the box and is willing to put in the time and effort see her clients succeed in their real estate transaction. She answered our questions honestly and got us a much higher offer when selling our home than we would have expected. Simone has been our realtor and we would highly recommend her. We did refer a family member to Simone and she did an amazing and professional job representing our family member in the sale of her home and then Im the purchase of her next home. Simone is great deal of knowledge to offer in terms of the Thurston County housing market.

Simone was very professional and responsive to my families needs in looking to buy a house. She listens well, provides honest insight and expertise, and works to hard to show homes that meet the buyers stated interests. I would recommend Simone wholeheartedly to other families looking for assistance in choosing a home that is right for them in this area.

I recommend Simone to any buyer in the Olympia area. She was instrumental in helping my family find the "just right" home for us. She was able to show us homes quickly as they popped up on the market which was needed in this fast, competitive market. Thanks, Simone!

Simone showed up on our doorstep one day, walking around the neighborhood and introducing herself. We already had an agent, but when we had a falling out we contacted Simone because she was clearly a go-getter. We were delighted at how hard she worked, how knowledgable she was about the market, and savvy about the business. We got an offer one week after listing. Simone comes highly recommended!

Simone is fantastic. I drove the wheels off her car as she combed the market looking for the house we would buy. She was tireless. We were "homeless" because our property in Oregon had sold and closed and we didn't know anything about Olympia. She was great at choosing areas and properties that were workable. She kept us fully informed during the closing process and coordinated lenders, inspectors, the escrow and more. She is also a fruitful source of info about the community and its assets.

Simone facilitated our move across the state. She stuck with us and showed us many houses, each time helping us to refine our 'must have' list. She asked great questions, listened to the responses and modified her search to reflect on our style and preferences. She is patient and easy going, yet is able to be nimble and react quickly in response to the very active market.

We met Simone, by chance, at a local open house. We were looking to buy our first home -- and we unsure on how to begin that process. We immediately connected with Simone and she quickly became sole contact as we looked for the right house. Simone was responsive and flexible. We both work full-time jobs, so we primarily needed to view properties in the evenings or on weekends. Simone consistently made herself available and never seemed irritated by the late night showings. Simone also understood the importance of the decision we had to make. She was open and honest. We never felt pressured into buying any particular property. In fact, on several occasions she would point out reasons why a property might not be the right fit for us (i.e., size, resale value, location, etc.). Eventually, with the help of Simone, we found our first home. We're very excited for the next chapter in our lives and we're very thankful for all of Simone's help. We highly recommend her!

"Simone was fantastic to work with. She listed our home and it went into escrow the same day it was listed! She knew exactly the right price to list our home at to bring lots of buyers. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Simone will always keep you in the loop so youre never guessing whats next in the process."

This was the 2nd time that I used Simone and I could not be any more pleased. Simone does her research and is very knowledgeable and forthcoming with information on areas home types and driven to do a great job. Loved working with her. She goes above and beyond for her customers.

Simone helped me navigate the sale of a house in a seller's market of multiple offers. She made it a smooth process, kept me up to date, and helped prepare the house to show well. I recommend her as a realtor who knows the market and advocates for her clients."

Simone was an enormous help through all parts of the process of selling our house. She met with us in advance to talk through the return on various repairs/investments, she talked through all of the logistics related to pricing and listing and was knowledgeable, encouraging and had an important eye for detail through to closing. We cant recommend her highly enough!

"We worked with Simone to buy a home, which involved a lot of schedule stretching and help as inventory was really tight and moving FAST, and we were living and usually working several hours away. It was not an easy market or situation. Simone took the time and our feedback to learn what we wanted in a house -- I have worked before with agents who try to tell you why you should like something, rather than listen to what you like, and the difference is huge. Simone focused on our ideas and preferences, and even figured out ways to search listings very efficiently in a way that turned up exactly the sort of houses we wanted. In a tight market we didn't have the luxury of time, and Simone was wonderful about scheduling viewings on short notice and at odd times, or even getting info for us when we couldn't be there to view a place. Simone is =very= knowledgeable of the OLT area, and wasn't afraid to give us the skinny -- good and bad. It is tremendously useful to hear positives AND negatives, instead of working with a salesperson. She knows the local schools very well. She would also freely volunteer when there was an aspect of a property or process that she didn't know, and would do the legwork to dig in and figure it out for us. At the end of the day, we got a property we wanted, at a price we were happy with, and we are very happy here. Success!"

"Simone was excellent to work with. She listened to what I was looking for and adjusted her searches to meet my preferences, even as I changed my mind. Since I am still new to the area, her insight into the strengths and weaknesses of the various neighborhoods was especially useful. She helped me to determine what I had to have and what I could live with until I found the house that fits my real needs at a price I am comfortable with. I haven't even fully settled in yet, but it's good to be home!"
