What Maddy said afterwards

“I had the pleasure of working with Josh Myers as my realtor this past spring. For several years, I had been interested in homeownership, but the entire process of purchasing a home seemed daunting, and I had assumed it would remain impossible for me as a public school teacher. When I decided to start working with him, he shed so much light on the process that I felt more and more confident every step of the way.

I really appreciated Josh's practical, no-pressure approach to working together. He explained every single step of what can be a very confusing world of real estate jargon, paperwork, and procedures, in clear, easy-to-understand language. He also assured me that no question was a bad question, and was available to answer or re-explain parts of the process anytime I needed something clarified. One other quality I really appreciate about Josh is his humility in his profession: he emphasized that his professional mentors could have more insight or experience regarding any given issue with a house, seller, etc., and would consult with them as needed. This made me feel very comfortable and cared for as a client and that I had a whole team who was prioritizing my needs.

Josh's laid-back demeanor and easygoing friendliness made the entire process of attending open houses, seeing properties, engaging with a mortgage lender, and taking the steps to closing on my house very manageable and truly fun. As a fellow resident of Seattle's south end, I valued Josh's knowledge of the area and its history. He always knew whom to consult for more detailed info about a property. Having Josh in my corner was paramount to the success I found in purchasing my home in the Rainier Beach neighborhood, and I could not be happier. I recommend Josh with the highest regard. Thank you Josh!”
