My wife and I tried at first, a real estate agent that was a close friend of ours. She did not want our business, probably wisely realizing we lived some distance from her and it would be inconvenient to show us houses in the area we were looking for. I then selected an agent that heavily advertises in my union's paper. Her office (in the south end) was quite some distance from our home and the area we were looking in. As time went by, we got the feeling she was starting to get annoyed with our requests to see homes. She recruited an assistant to show us homes and often times neither one of them were available to show us homes at a time when the market was very low in inventory (homes for sale). This set up the need to be able to see a house almost the instant it went on the market. We realized that we needed to find an agent who lived in the area that we were looking in, so the agent wo…
My wife and I tried at first, a real estate agent that was a close friend of ours.

I then selected an agent that heavily advertises in my union's paper. Her office (in the south end) was quite some distance from our home and the area we were looking in. As time went by, we got the feeling she was starting to get annoyed with our requests to see homes. She recruited an assistant to show us homes and often times neither one of them were available to show us homes at a time when the market was very low in inventory (homes for sale). This set up the need to be able to see a house almost the instant it went on the market. We realized that we needed to find an agent who lived in the area that we were looking in, so the agent would not be inconvenienced in showing a home and would be much more likely to be able to make an appointment to see a home very quickly. We called a local Windermere office and I explained to the broker in charge that we needed an agent that would be able to respond to our urgent needs to see a home relatively soon after it came on the market. The broker recommended Nick Loveless as he said Nick should be able to be available pretty much "Johnny on the spot". Nick made himself available to us at a time when we needed an agent who understood the market and the need to be competitive in purchasing a home, it was definitely a seller’s market and many sales were becoming bidding wars. Nick made the calls to set up appointments as soon as we called him. We were often times meeting Nick at a home within the hour after calling him, quite often only hours after the home came on the market. We finally found a home that met our needs and more importantly in a great neighborhood and surrounding community. The home however had several others interested in it. The purchase climate became very competitive. Nick suggested that we write a personal letter to the seller explaining to her who we were as people. This letter was delivered to the seller and it made all the difference. The seller read the letter and decided she wanted to sell the home to us. Nick Loveless made all the difference when it came to beating the competition in the purchase of the home.
Buying a home is filled with a lot of emotions – excitement, fear, joy, certainty, and uncertainty- especially this day and age and especially in the Seattle area. We loosely perused houses during the summer of 2017 and in the Fall decided we wanted to close before the end of the year. It was a long shot but it was our goal. We told Nick our timeline and without pause he was ready for the challenge. He listened to what we wanted both individually and as a couple. He was patient as we combed through the great Seattle area and supported us every step of the way to find our perfect home. Our buying experience compared to others sounds almost made up because of how seamless it was. We are so grateful for our home and for Nick’s expertise in the Seattle real estate market and process. As cliché as it sounds, I really don’t think we could have done it without him.
Working with Nick was amazing. You can tell he has a lot of experience in this field because he handled our complicated situation with ease. He stuck with us even when the sellers attempted to back out of our unconventional real estate contract he was persistent and tenacious and got the deal closed! He gets things done in a quick and efficient way. He was very personable and easy to work with. We highly recommend working with Nick to anybody who wants to buy or sell their house and we will definitely choose him again!
He had a great experience working with Nick in selling our aunt's house. He was very involved throughout the entire process, always returning phone calls and updating us. Nick gave us many resources as we were preparing the house for sale, and we especially appreciated his professionalism and thoughtfulness. Nick is very knowledgeable about the real estate market in the Puget Sound area and we would highly recommend him to anyone needing a real estate broker.
