Unfortunately, my wife and I had a bad experience with Johnine. We were FTHB in WS. Our search was fast (under contract within 2 weeks, involving only 2 visits with Johnine, and 4 with Tonya as we did a lot of open-houses on our own). We were on top of everything and had an excellent lender (Ryan Maxwell from Homestreet) allowing us to close 3 weeks later. We reached out to this agency after having a mediocre experience with Redfin. Given their stellar rating, we were expecting to be more lucky with Johnine and her team. After an initial meeting with Johnine, we had some trial visits with Tonya over one evening, and it was excellent. Tonya was scouting the different homes, taking the time to discuss with us, and sounded very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our experience and were looking forward to keep working with her. After these visits, we only got to interact with Johnine. To say that Johnine lacked professionalism or represents too many people is an understatement. We only had 2 visits scheduled with her, and she had been significantly late for both (15-30 minutes), even though she is the one that set the time. Both time was because she was touring homes with another customer on the other side of Seattle and couldn’t make it on time for our visits. This was mildly annoying, but the second property was one we wanted to put an offer on, so we stayed put. Then, things turned chaotic. As we signified interest in putting an offer on that second property, it was a nightmare to schedule a time to meet with Johnine. The offer deadline was on a Monday, but Johnine could only meet us on the Sunday before. She had to reschedule that meeting 3 times, even though she was the one setting the time every single time. During that meeting, Johnine did not remember the offer Deadline correctly and thought it was on Tuesday. If I didn’t bring it up, Johnine was only planning to work on drafting the offer the following day and might have missed the offer. After our offer was accepted, communication became really abysmal. As a FTHB, I do not expect to be baby-sitted, but I was hopping that Johnine would at least detail us what to expect and when. However, she took the fact that we were on top of things as an excuse to not do anything than the bare minimum. This caused unnecessary stress on our end as we were trying to figure out stuff completely on our own. All we had from Johnine for the following 3 weeks was a brief “next step” email with poorly worded shallow details on what to expect, and barely understandable instructions regarding utilities. That’s it. Even at open-houses, listing agents distribute printed PDF with more useful information than what Johnine provided us. At no point did Johnine mention anything regarding a final walkthrough that we had to schedule ourselves and that we didn’t even do with her. The ice on the cake was closing day, where we had literally no idea what to expect the day of. Johnine was out of town and couldn’t get the key for us, so Tonya was scheduled to do it for us and meet with us the following day. But the day of, Tonya informed us BY EMAIL that she couldn’t make it, and that the seller’s agent left our home key under a rock in the garden for us to pick up anytime. Neither Johnine nor Tonya tried to arrange for another agent/staff to pick up the key for us to make sure that we were able to enter our property. They did not even bother calling us to check what was the best option for us or apologize for the inconvenience. I had to interrupt my work day in panic to go figure out what rock was the correct one and pick up the key. Johnine received a $27,000 commission out of that purchase where I felt she did not represent us better than a Redfin agent and put no effort to represent us at any step of the process. Beware.

Johnine and Tonya excel in their jobs! The Realestategals are extremely professional, thorough and they genuinely prioritize their client needs. Johnine has extensive experience in the real estate industry and her expertise shone through every stage of home buying. Her vast knowledge about home ownership and maintenance proved invaluable and we gained a wealth of insights about homes throughout the process. Johnine showed unwavering determination during negotiations ensuring that we did not settle for anything less than what we desired. Tonya made our entire house buying experience remarkably smooth, which was especially vital for us as first-time home buyers. Tonya’s communication skills are exceptional – she kept us informed throughout the process, promptly answering all our questions, and addressing all the concerns we had. She made sure that we were well prepared at every step of the way and this certainly boosted our confidence throughout the process. What sets Johnine/Tonya apart is their genuine care for clients. They took the time to understand our needs and they ensured that the properties we were considering were aligning with our vision. Their dedication to finding us the right home was evident throughout. As a client, I feel incredibly supported and valued. We are extremely happy with our first home purchase and we wholeheartedly recommend Johnine/Tonya and the rest of the Realestategals crew for anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable and dedicated realtor.

The Real Estate Gals were a great team to have on our [buyers'] side when we purchased a home last year. I have read and strongly disagree with the negative review left below. We worked with both Johnine and Scott, who both expended a lot of effort and time to understand what we were looking for in a home - which was a challenge due to our multi-family needs with preferences for large scale project space, but close to work in Seattle and in a tight budget. They quickly and accurately gauged what would work for us and helped us sift through the options with frank and straightforward feedback. When the perfect house finally turned up at the end of a long day touring around King County with us, they then burned some serious midnight oil slamming together the aggressive and fast-tracked offer that turned out to be critical for us securing our home. From my perspective, I cannot overstate the value of having a buyer's agent actually care enough to go these extra miles. I wouldn't be writing this from such a perfect home if it weren't for this team. I can only imagine these qualities have made them even better as agents during the pandemic. The Real Estate Gals will always have our gratitude - thanks especially to Johnine and Scott!

They were representing the seller, and I was the buyer. Very limited communication from the agents. Waited days for a response for any email/text. I would eventually get an answer after multiple follow-ups. Almost cost us the deal. [Update] I have seen all the text/conversations of my agent with your agency. Regarding the oil tank decommissioning, according to the contract, the tank was to be decommissioned 5 days before closing. When asked about so, 5 days before closing ( for which I have seen the text/email conversations of), you gave my agent very little to no information about it and even said it was on schedule. It was only after my agent called the oil tank decommissioning company herself that we got to know that it was not even scheduled 2 days before closing. Any buyer who was not as intended to buy the property as I was; could have walked away due to breach of contract. We got the final documentation 2 hours before the closing deadline. It was only after I wrote the review that your agents became responsive.

Johnine is quite frankly the highest caliber professional you'll find in the business. I've worked with her on a number of housing transactions in Seattle, as both a seller and a buyer, and relied on her expertise and guidance every step of the way. Johnine knows more about Seattle real estate than any other realtor in the area, and goes above and beyond to help her clients feel secure and confident in the process. She is also extremely well respected in the real estate community, which is beyond helpful when negotiating with other agents. I've been impressed when Johnine has steered me away from purchases when it wasn't in my best interest, even if meant she had to work harder to find me something else. I always felt her personal investment and that she truly wants her clients to be happy with their sale or purchase. Johnine has set the bar exceedingly high, and there's no other realtor I'd work with in the Seattle area. Hands down, she's the best. Hire her, you won't regret it.

I was lucky enough to work with Johnine and her very competent team to sell my home. I have to tell you how easy the entire process was. On her wise suggestion I had my home inspected, as there actually were a number of maintenance items that came up in that inspection and she even arranged to have all of the repairs completed in a very short time. The only thing I had to do was to let the repair folks in. Then, to my surprise, Johnine , had all the windows and the whole house cleaned before listing it. She then had the house beautifully staged and had the yard cleaned up with even a little landscaping thrown in. The house sold within the week for OVER full price! Everyone I dealt with was always kind, helpful and professional, their communication was exemplary all through the process. I’ve decided to rent for a while but you can be assured that it will be Johnine and her team that I will go back to when ready to purchase a new house. I have sung her praises to all that I know.

My partner and I purchased a house with them a few months ago and we did not have a great experience. I found my self being told "no" more often by my real-estate agent than by the seller. I repeatedly had to push them to negotiate on my behalf. This became more frustrating as each time we got exactly what we wanted from the seller. The search process was okay and I was quite satisfied with this part of the service. As soon as we were under contract, things started to fall apart. We were given incorrect information several times throughout and only found the correct answers by going to others I knew in real-estate. Johnnie was very informed and everytime I dealt with her I definitely felt more supported; however, those interactions were few and far between. If I could do it again, we would have gone with someone else. At the end of the day, our real-estate agent was not ready to be on her own and should've had more support from her team.

Johnine is a delight. We worked with her five years ago when buying our first home, and when selling that home this year. Johnine is so much more than an agent -- she worked with us for almost a year in a tough sellers market when we first bought, giving us real, honest advice about when to bid more vs when to give up (and not overpay). She helped us during the interim period -- with connections to contractors, but also with advice about where to invest our money (what would be a good investment if we decided to sell vs what we'd be doing for ourselves). That advice really came in handy when we did sell (for a profit) five years later. But what was the most impressive to me was that Johnine gave the advice willingly because that's the kind of person she is -- smart, helpful, and there for her clients...whether or not we ever sold our home again.

Darcie is a gem. We had the experience of buying our first home with her help and then selling it 8 years later under her care and expertise. Darcie is unassuming, good natured and friendly. She takes the often overwhelming experience of real estate and makes it digestible and tangible for her clients. She is a good negotiator and her personable nature made us feel well-cared for and relaxed throughout the entire home-buying and home-selling process. She explains things clearly and is quick to respond to her clients. She has many years of experience and knows the Seattle market well. She gives great advice and guidance when asked for, but is ultimately supportive of her clients specific wants and needs. Darcie is who you want to cheerlead you through the process of real estate!

I recently bought a house and Penny West was our real estate agent - she was so sweet, knowledgeable, helpful, and overall amazing. We had an instant connection and she understood the type of house and area our family needed. She was so efficient in scheduling tours for us and always available for questions and changes to schedule - she was so flexible and always had a great attitude. When we finally settled on a house, the seller was actually pretty difficult and uncommunicative, but Penny took initiative and got us the answers we needed and advocated for us at every turn. I am so happy that we met Penny and she worked with us in our house purchase, I do not think the experience would have been as nice or as pleasant without her, I highly recommend her and her team!

We worked with Johnine and Tonya to buy our first home and it was a great experience! They were both super responsive from the first interaction when we weren't sure about our timeline and we just wanted to ask questions, to going to showings of houses I found same day, to showing us houses we wouldn't have found on our own, and finally to putting through the offer and purchasing the home. We also used their recommendations for our loan officer, who was also super responsive and great to work with. We have other friends who did not enjoy their first home-buying experience in this difficult market as much, but we are grateful that we had Tonya and Johnine to help us, I highly recommend Real Estate Gals! I also enjoy reading their blog posts and emails.

Johnine Larson has been our realtor for over 20 years. She has helped us buy and sell several homes. Johnine is an experienced and diligent real estate agent who communicates well and works hard. We always knew that we could trust Johnine to give us wise counsel about the pros and cons of any purchase we were considering. And we knew that our best chance of getting any home we set our heart on lay with Johnine’s bargaining skills and savvy. When we retired and sold our family home, we trusted Johnine with the largest component of our retirement finances and with her help we received nearly 25% over our asking price. We not only consider Johnine an outstanding realtor we also value her as a wonderful friend.

Johnine was very highly recommended to my husband and me by a number of friends and she is, indeed, excellent. She is switched on, honest and has integrity. We took a long time (years) to buy a house. Johnine had patience and did a great job educating us. By the way, our friends were of widely different economic situations and she found good houses in each person’s price range. After that good experience we bought rental properties with Johnine’s help. She was great at helping us buy. And is a terrific manager. Finally, she is always available to help us find contractors, answer questions and help with follow-through if that is needed. Quite simply, she cares about what she does and about us.

Darcie was highly recommended by one of my good friend, I was looking to buy a townhome in N Seattle area; Darcie and her team (Tonya) went above and beyond to help me find a home within my budget. Darcie was very responsive (email/text), punctual and her flexibility amazes me. Often times she will showed up early and check the house before I went in. Darcie and her team truly wants her client to get the best of everything. I closed my house within 30days and Darcie was very supportive to get me through the complicated house buying procedures. As a first time home owner, Darcie and her team really understand and very patience to walk through everything with me. Thank you Darcie and team!

We sold our home and bought a new one in Seattle with Johnine and Tonya. Both were incredible and we'd highly recommend them! SALE: We got multiple offers and Johnine negotiated a great deal for us - dream price!! They had great suggestions for improvements and excellent contractor contacts that helped us get top dollar! PURCHASE: Tonya had amazing patience as she showed us MANY houses and didn't pressure us to make a hasty decision. She has a great eye for detail and helped us get comfortable with pros & cons for each potential house. In the end, we found a great home in this crazy market and she negotiated a fantastic price for us. Very happy with the entire process!

I can’t think of the words to convey how grateful I am to have found these gals/guy. They’ve helped me find the house of my dreams. Johnine has counseled me through many decisions I needed to make concerning my home and my life...should I add an apartment in my basement? what should it look like? what will it do to the value of my house? And more recently, having gotten married and trying to make new choices with my husband, Johnine sat with us and talked through many possibilities for us as a couple. Recently, I needed the fair market price of my house. Johnine did it for within 2 days of my asking for it. I wouldn’t work with anyone else. They’re the greatest.

Johnine consistently goes above and beyond for her clients, and I so appreciated working with her. She took time to learn about my needs and wants in a home, and then looked out for houses that would be a great fit. She regularly provided feedback that allowed me to skip looking at houses that wouldn't ultimately be a fit, which I really valued. She also provided great input on the houses we looked at. Her expertise, honesty, and excellent communication make her a wonderful individual to work with. I couldn't be happier with the home I bought, and I so appreciated the opportunity to work with Johnine! I would highly recommend working with her.

We had a fantastic experience working with the Real Estate Gals to buy our first home in Seattle! Johnine and Tonya met with us before the pandemic and remained super patient and helpful with us as we went hot/cold on whether or not to buy *several times* over the past few years. When we finally found the home we eventually bought, Tonya's help, advice, and feedback were all invaluable to us. She was also super responsive to calls and texts, and was just great to work with in general! Hopefully we won't be looking for a new house again soon, but we will absolutely go back to the Real Estate Gals when we do!

Johnine was incredible— from start to finish she helped my husband and I find the home of our dreams. We search in Seattle, Magnolia, Ballard , Queen Anne, and finally settled on the house just north of Ballard. She was steadfast and knew her stuff well amd also connected us with a lot of smart people in the industry who could help assess our options. It took many months and a lot of patience and a lot of courage, and Johnine was with us all the way, so much patience and diligence. On top of all that, Johnine is just and incredible humane being. Thank you, Johnine! You are a goddess!! Lisa

Darcie was patient, helpful, and a joy to work with. She stuck steadfastly by my fiancé and I as we tried to narrow down the neighborhood and kind of house we were looking for. Every time we found a new area to try, or new style of home to look at, boom, Darcie would have options waiting in our emails. I can't thank Darcie enough for her effort and kindness with two indecisive and picky first-time buyers. We truly appreciate her and cannot recommend her highly enough. We love our home, and when the time comes to move on, Darcie will be our first call.

We had the great pleasure of working with Darcie to find an investment property. It was important for us to work with a real estate company that is also a GSBA member and shows their commitment to equality. Darcie was fast, reliable and fun to work with. She knew exactly what we were looking for and what was important to us. The property has since increased its value by 20%. From beginning to end, it was an easy process. Thanks Real Estate Gals and especially Darcie. We will definitely work with you again for our next real estate needs.

Johnine was a breath of fresh air in the real estate market. She listened intently to our wishes and goals, and was tireless in her search for our perfect house. She is well versed in both Seattle and the surrounding areas. She made sure all the details were taken care of after the inspection, and made the closing process seamless. She even gifted us with a housewarming present. Nearly 7 years later, we still receive holiday cards and well wishes. I highly recommend Real Estate Gals and will look no further in the future.

I'd give Real Estate Gals 6 stars if I could. We have used them multiple times, both in selling and buying homes in Seattle and the surrounding area. I can't say enough about the professionalism, knowledge, and patience they bring to the task of buying a new home, or selling your current residence. And they know the Seattle area so well, they'll offer valuable insights into the pros and cons of any location you may be to considering. Look no further, call Johnine at Real Estate Gals. You will be glad you did!

We moved from out of state and worked closely with Tonya who proactively sent us videos of all the properties we were interested in a timely and professional manner. She was able to provide great insight into all the different neighborhoods as well as what to pay attention to at each property. Tonya spent the entire weekend with us when we came to visit, and she was a pleasure to work with! She gave us a lot of helpful resources for rental properties and even had her colleague drive by the rental unit!

Johnine was so amazingly helpful to me. I was looking at buying my first home, was very overwhelmed, and had a strict budget. She was patient in taking me to various homes, asked the hard questions of those who were selling (I didn't know what I didn't know), and ended up writing a compelling letter to the seller of the cute townhome that convinced the seller to select me. Fourteen years later, I am still in this townhome! If you have a chance to work with any of the Real Estate Gals, do it!

Johnine and the Real Estate Gals brilliantly took us through the home buying process two different times. Their willingness to educate (I was new), hear our home hopes, and support us through the process are a few of the reasons that I highly recommend this team. Speaking of a team, I love their collaborative business model - it meant that we--the home buyers--always had a returned phone call and an ability to look at a house on OUR schedule. Truly felt like they place the customer first!

We just closed on selling our longtime Seattle home. Tonya was a pleasure to work with. She was professional, responsive, and took it upon herself to ensure that our listing put its absolute best foot forward . When we found ourselves navigating multiple offers, she remained focused, explained all the easy-to-miss details and ultimately helped us select the best buyer. We couldn't have closed this chapter in a better way. Thank you, Tonya and the rest of the Real Estate Gals team!

Johnine has provided real estate expertise to me on several occasions and is very responsive and willing to give of her time and talent. I seem to always have questions about my rental property and she’s always happy to give advice. Although I haven’t bought or sold a house in over 20 years, I have recommended her to many friends and they’ve all been pleased with her efforts and results on their behalf. She and her team truly care for their clients and they know their stuff!

I can’t begin to recommend Darcie enough. She made our first home buying experience so wonderful! With her years of experience she was able to talk us through all the small details we didn’t understand-no question too small. She stayed optimistic and persistent throughout the process, never pressuring us and always looking out for our best interest. She kept us in the loop on every step along the way, and helped to ensure everything went smoothly. Thank you Darcie!

Real Estate Gals made sure we found our perfect house! Then, when we were up against other bidders, Johnine worked tirelessly to ensure we were tops! Her extensive real estate experience combined with exceptional character and integrity provided peace of mind throughout the process. She also made sure we received the right value as a seller and got the transaction done quickly and efficiently. Simply stated: there is nobody better to help you find your dream home.

Johnine and Tonya were so fantastic to work with on our first home-buying experience in Seattle. Tonya provided excellent advice on neighborhoods, trends in the market, and how our offer would be competitive. Tonya also facilitated a tour-de-force home showing day that helped us find the exact right neighborhood fit we were after. We couldn't have asked for a better team and will absolutely be using them for our Seattle home buying/selling needs from here on out

I have bought and sold many homes in my forty plus years of being a Seattleite and I couldn't be more pleased with the way Johnine Larsen and her team handled the sale of my previous home. I moved into my new place and they took it from there. Contacted the right people to do the minor repairs at a reasonable cost, staged the home, and had professional photos done within a few weeks. The sale went smoothly as well. I am so thankful that I found her.

Johnine Larsen and her team are absolutely fabulous. I've bought and sold many properties over the years, and Real Estate Gals surpassed all of my previous experiences with agents. Johnine designed the perfect selling strategy. She then handled every detail leading up to the day we listed, including cleaning, yard work, repairs, staging and more! Johnine has a heart of gold, and I can't say enough great things about my experience. Thank you!

I bought my first house with the Real Estate Gals many years ago. As a first time buyer, I was anxious and unfamiliar with the process. They walked me through it, and were there every step of the way. I have since bought (and sold) three more houses with the Gals, and it was a great experience every time. They are highly respected throughout the industry, and know how to put together a winning offer. I wouldn't work with anyone else!

I could not have dreamed of an easier, smoother, more enjoyable experience than I had with Darcie. She helped me both buy and sell my first home. I was a novice, didn't know what to expect or what would happen. Darcie guided me through both experiences with knowledge, professionalism, confidence, and support. I felt like I could go to her with any questions or concerns. Darcie is phenomenal and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Johnine, Scott, and the rest of the team offer a steady hand and lots of experience navigating the wild real estate market in Seattle. We always look forward to working with them. They never lose sight of what is important, and are always there to help in every step of the process. They are strong advocates for their clients, have all the patience in the world, and help guide through big life decisions.

It was such a pleasure to work with Johnine and her team. They were so generous with their time and were always able to provide expert advice on topics great and small. We are grateful for their patience with us, and for keeping us sane in what can otherwise be a stressful market for buyers. We hope to be in our new home for quite a while, but there is no doubt we will be returning clients some day!

Johnine has helped us sell and purchase homes in the Seattle area in the last 15 years. I can't think of anyone else I would want to trust in this very personal journey. Johnine cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to make sure their needs and wants are taken care of. She is an expert in her field and I highly recommend her and her team to take care of you. She's the best!!!!!

I sought recommendations for a real estate professional from a close friend. He recommended Darcie Wells after she worked with him on property sale. I’m glad that I connected with Darcie, she was a pleasure to work. She was informative and responsive in managing the sale process on my behalf. I'm a happy new home owner and I gladly recommend Darcie with the strongest endorsement.

Top notch team - the kind of people you work with over a lifetime and send holiday cards. Knowledgable team who want you to buy a great house, not just turn a commission. We have asked for advice on houses multiple times and they are always willing to share their opinion. Johnine even worked with us while on vacation in New Zealand when we found a fixer-upper we were exploring.

Johnine Larsen is fabulous! She listened and came up with ways we could get what we wanted in a house and stay within our limited budget. When we found the house we wanted, she moved super fast to get the house inspected and implemented creative ideas to make our offer appealing. And out of 13 offers, we were selected and got our house. I recommend her to anyone buying a home.

We worked with Johnine and Tonya to sell our home, and that’s 15 years after working with Johnine to buy our home. It’s something to have a no-nonsense and savvy realtor to rely on, and The Real Estate Gals provide that savvy. We closed in June and are now pending closing on a new property. I can recommend Johnine and Tonya and the whole gang at The Real Estate Gals.

Johnine is amazing and I would highly recommend her. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the Seattle market, easy to work with, and I always felt like she provided an informed and balanced opinion as we searched for my home. Even after I found my home, she still answers questions I have sent her way. I have never worked with a better realtor. Thank you Johnine!

Darcie’s experience was key to making the sale and closing of our Seattle home a smooth and timely process. When questions or concerns would arise, she would respond with solid guidance and help. Darcie is professional, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. Furthermore, she’s a pleasure to work with and we’re really happy with the results and overall sales experience.

I've bought three houses with Johnine. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, the industry, negotiations - the works. Even in the crazy Seattle market, she positioned us well for having the winning offer but also helping us determine what made the most sense as a long term investment. She is wicked sharp, direct and has a charmingly wry sense of humor.

I have worked with Johnine and her team for 19 years and have always received personal, knowledgeable and professional service and attention! There is never and pressure and they will guide you away from a property when appropriate, which is always appreciated when a market is hot and the tendency is to move quickly. I trust them and have never been let down!

We have worked with Johnine Larsen since 2012. She helped us find and buy our home and has helped us as a property manager for the rental of a property since 2012. She is very knowleageable and very serious and responsible. I have recommended her to friends and family and I know that they have all been very satisfied. I would highly recommend her.

I recently purchased a home in Shoreline with Johnine’s help. Over the years she & her team have assisted me through several moves in the Seattle metro area. I have always appreciated their thoughtful perspective and guidance. Johnine has been a trusted advisor for over 20 yrs. There is no one else I would trust more with my real estate needs.

I loved working with Johnine, she helped me buy my first place a number of years ago and I worked with her again to sell it this year. Johnine is forthright and direct, but flexible and warm. My place took a bit of time to sell and they worked hard to keep activity going until we reached an agreement with a seller. The staging was superb!

We had such a great experience buying our first home with Johnine - she was knowledgeable, patient, and knew exactly when to give us some direction and when to step back. We were thoroughly pleased with our purchase and have been in our home for over 10 years now. We give her name to all of our friends who are looking to buy or sell!

I've used the real estate gals to purchase my first starter home and also to sell my first home and help me upgrade to my dream house. The real estate gal team went above and beyond both to help me purchase and sell homes. I have recommend the real estate gals to several friends who have also had great experiences working with them.

Johnine has a ton of integrity and is an expert at all things related to a real estate transaction. She has helped us both purchase the home of our dreams and sell our former home. She has excellent resources if you need help with anything during the process as well. I've referred her to friends who all feel the same way about her.

Although several words come to mind, words such as reliable, knowledgeable and the ability to provide comfort and security, it's hard to describe the level of service that Johnine and her team provides. I have worked with them, on the purchase of several properties and I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you all and I will be back!!

Johnine of the Real Estate gals was so fantastic to work with. She was patient and thorough and answered all of our questions no matter what time of day. She is dedicated to finding the house that you really want and fits your sensibilities. We would not hesitate to recommend the Real Estate Gals and definitely recommend Johnine.

Johnine and her team are the best! They listen really well and have helped us buy 2 houses that were perfect for our family. They supported us in all parts of the home buying process and even made it fun. We love recommending Johnine and the Real Estate Gals to any of our friends looking for a home in the Seattle area.

Johnine helped my wife and I purchase a house in North Seattle in 2015 and without her we wouldn't have been able to win the bid in the crazy housing market in Seattle. She was ALWAYS responsive and available. She answered every question ever asked. She exhibits the highest level of integrity. I highly recommend her.

Tonya Spivey was an outstanding agent and helping us sell our house. She was very knowledgeable of the process and explained it to us step by step. Her and her Keller Williams team walked us through every bit of the process. I would highly recommend her and her team for anyone wanting to buy a house or sell a house

We have relied on Johnine and company for buying, selling and educating us about the market for our last 3 transactions. We always know that there is deep knowledge and experience behind all advise and decisions. These gals are more that just realtors - they really care and get you the best deal. Highly recommend!

I've worked with Johnine in the tough Seattle real estate market since 2001. She showed the same cheerfulness, can-do attitude, strategic thinking, and generosity of mind and spirit whether we were looking at starter homes or forever homes, single-family homes or condos. Her network of contractors is also great!

You could not ask for a better real estate buying or selling experience. I've done both with the Real Estate Gals and can tell you they are the most trustworthy folks you can have for the process. So knowledgable and attentive. You are definitely in good hands!! Anyone else is a mistake. (in my opinion :)

Wonderful experience! I was listened to, attended to, and helped in ways that went over and above what I’ve experienced with other realtors in the past. Johnine has extensive knowledge of the real estate market in Seattle and surrounding areas, as well as an understanding of the various neighborhoods.

We love Tonya and Johnine from Real Estate Gals. I never thought I’d be able to afford a home in Seattle. They helped me find a place that met my goals and kept me from making bad decisions along the way. I trust them completely, and would go to them again if I ever have another opportunity.

Johnine and team have become the agent for our entire family. I’ve worked with her on 5 different home sales and purchases and she is absolutely the best in the field. I heartily recommend Johnine and team for first time buyers as well as those who have many transactions under their belt.

Johnine has been very knowledgeable about every property we had interest in. Upfront and honest. She really does want you to be happy about whichever property you decide to buy. I never once felt that she only cared about what she would make out of the deal. Highly recommend Johnine!

Darcie Wells always goes above and beyond when it comes to selling or buying properties. Her years of experience makes it a smooth and seamless process. Our family is thankful for meeting her and creating a longtime relationship. I would recommend her for all your real estate needs.

I was the listing agent and Penny West was fantastic! She's an excellent communicator and we worked together to make sure both of our clients had a smooth transaction. It was a pleasure working with her and I look forward to doing more transactions with her!

Johnine and her team are amazing client advocates, savvy businesspeople, and all-round great to work with. She makes the entire process clear and easy to navigate, and gives excellent market advice. Could not be more pleased with my choice to work with her!!

Johnine and her team were amazing to work with. Johnine took a lot of time to understand what we needed and how to help us find the right home, and she's pretty fun to shop for houses with. Will absolutely work with them again if we ever sell our house.

Darcie was such a joy to work with. She felt like family during the sale of our house and the search for our new home. We may have found our forever home, but if we ever need a Realtor in future, Darcie from Real Estate Gals will be our first call.

Real Estate Gals are the best! Johnine really listens and walks us through the whole process. We have worked with her on 4 houses (completed sales) and know from experience that her advice is spot on. Highly recommend Real Estate Gals!

Johnine and Tonya were amazing helping me with the sale of a home. There were a few issues and they both handled them so well and found a great buyer. I would highly recommend the Real Estate Gals for your next purchase or sale.

Johnine and her crew are the best in the business. I have worked with her for more than 25 years. She is knowledgeable, compassionate and has a master's level of experience in the bumpy world of Seattle area real estate.

Johnine was a perfect match for our family. Knowledgeable, patient, detail oriented, tuned to our need and our budget. She would talk us out of bad deals. She is still a reference to us years after we bought the house.

I absolutely felt Johnine had my best interest at heart. She read what I wanted and NEEDED in a home better than I did. And consequently landed me a perfect first time home that 5 years later I’m still so happy with.

Having worked with Johnine on 7 real estate transactions, I can safely say she is the best! She always strives to work in her clients' best interests. She is not only my agent of choice, she is also a great friend!

Susanna and I have worked with Johnine and her team for our house purchases... which span almost 20 years. Real professionals and great listeners. You’ll be in good hands with Real Estate Gals. (Paul Reynolds)

Darcie Wells was our"gal" when we wanted to buy a condo in Seattle. We knew we liked her because she was our realtor when we sold our uncle's house. We had another excellent experience and highly recommend her

Johnine, Tonya and Scott have seen us through 4 houses and were with us every step of the way. I can't say enough about their professionalism, expertise and kindness in dealing with us for the last 27 years!

Johnine is amazing. She helped me buy my house and then sell it 8 years later when I was moving out of state. I trusted her completely and felt that her caring and professionalism were unmatched.

Johnine has helped my family and numerous friends and family members find the perfect house! She’s thoughtful, savvy, and wonderful to work with. I would recommend her and Real Estate Gals 100%.

Johnine and her team truly listened to what we wanted and guided us every step of the way. We are happy in our house nearly 10 years later and refer everyone to Real Estate Gals!

Have worked with Real Estate Gals for years on purchases and sale of home and investment real estate. They are simply the best and can’t recommend them highly enough.

Johnine is such a great realtor! She's also a truly compassionate, caring person. Her whole team is excellent. I trust them completely.

Johnine is fantastic to work with. She helped us find our first home and gave us smart, sensible advice throughout the process.

Reassuring, smart, transparent: it is super easy to work with Darcie and I would refer her to anyone needing a realtor.

I loved working with Darcie to buy my first home! She was so helpful and patient throughout the process.

Very warm and attentive to details; so helpful with difficult issues that arose. Highly recommend.
