"Last week I was pedaling around my new neighborhood, thinking, “Wow, I love this neighborhood and my new home.” My immediate thought to follow was, I owe SO MUCH THANKS and HUGE APPRECIATION for Mr. Brad Hammond. Not only a really great realtor but a really great human being. “What makes you say that?” you might ask. Well, look no further for your answer. Brad spent YEARS (no exaggeration) with me searching not only the perfect house but the PERFECT HOME FOR ME. This easily included looking at 50+ homes in person/online (probably closer to 75-100 if I count for every online listing I sent his way - thanks again for your patience sir - and he would provide feedback to all!). I had many particulars and a certain budget and my home ended up hitting all the marks. When looking at houses Brad not only went into depth with me about my financial goals but even more important to me, my lifestyle goals and how the home would fit into those all while remaining within my budget (i.e. yard for dogs, house where I could try some projects on a home but nothing that needed major repair, a place where I could walk to local coffee shops and stores, close to work, etc.). One of the continuous most beneficial things Brad would do with me when I found a home I liked, we would review together all the pros and then the cons which I appreciated him still shedding light on things with houses that weren’t perfect and/or even if it was a great house, was it great for me? With the heavy amount of transparency, I could tell he wanted to not only help me find a home, but find me the RIGHT home. Brad had the ability to balance kindness and firmness with putting in an offer on my new home and ended up getting me the price I wanted for the house! With his connections with mortage loaners and the deal we came to the table with that fit what I was comfortable with, we were even able to beat out higher bids to get the dream starter home for me!! Thank you Brad! Even months after moving into my new home Brad has continued to be there for further recommendations for house needs thanks to all his great connections within the PNW community. I would (and already have to friends) 100% recommend Brad over and over again to have as your realtor! Thanks Brad!!!"
