We just bought our second house in the Silver Lake area in Everett, and Aaron Wilder was incredibly helpful in making this happen for us. He helped us to sell our first house and buy at the same time and ended up with closing dates in April that were only 4 days apart! This process was really emotional and stressful for me and Aaron was always available to talk things over with me if I was feeling anxious about the purchase or the sale. He was very responsive and ready to take action quickly when we needed to so that we were able to view a home we were interested in in the middle of the week, and then made an offer on it the next day, which was accepted. He also helped us negotiate favorable closing terms with a substantial seller credit to cover some needed repairs. When the seller left the home minimally cleaned (Food on the stove, stuff left behind in the freezer, hairs in the bathroom...) Aaron covered the expense of having it cleaned for us. He also referred us to his recommended handyman who offered us a reasonable price for the work we needed done. For our home sale, he advised us on the best way to balance maximizing profit with what was easy and convenient for us and managed all of the negotiations with the buyer. We were able to sell it in a private sale without listing the house, so we didn't need to do much to get the house ready to list and show, and he negotiated a generous rent back arrangement with the buyer so that we could prep and move into our new home with minimal stress. We previously worked with Aaron to buy our first home in downtown Everett, and I wouldn't consider working with any other agent! I highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking for an agent to either buy or sell a home!
Aaron Wilder was referred to me as an agent that can help me sell my condo in Kirkland, Wa. I knew on the spot that Aaron and his team would be the right choice. He was open and honest. Kept me in the loop 100% of the time. I felt that he always had my back as a seller. He sold my home shortly after listing it in September 2025 and the process was smooth and easy. Id definitely recommend Aaron Wilder anytime youre in the real estate housing market for buying or selling.
We found Aaron after attending a virtual first-time homebuyer class he co-hosted with David Kirske of CrossCountry Mortgage. Both of them were incredibly knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and made us feel at easeaEUR"which is exactly why we chose to work with them both. As first-time buyers, my fiancA(C)e and I werent totally sure what to expect about the process, but Aaron made it smooth and manageable from start to finish. He was patient, responsive, and pointed out things during showings that we wouldnt have noticed on our own. His advice helped us feel confident every step of the way. Thanks to his expertise and negotiation skills, we made a competitive offer and got the perfect home in Covington. Were so thankful we found Aaron and highly recommend him to anyone buying their first home!
From our first conversation, Aaron Wilder gave me a realistic approach to buying my first house. He provided honest insight and advice that truly helped me navigate this huge decision with confidence. Aaron treated me more like a friend, making sure I understood each step, never feeling pressured or overwhelmed. His down to earth nature, coupled with his deep knowledge of the market, made the entire experience of purchasing this Pierce County home smooth and painless. As a Millennial, I've never imagined owning a house was within my realm of possibilities.. but as of May 2025, I am proud to call myself a homeowner! If you want an agent who combines professionalism with genuine kindness, Aaron is your guy. Thanks again, Aaron
Working with Aaron was awesome! Aaron is very knowledgeable and knows the area that we were looking to buy very well. This, in return, led us to buy our first home and take away the stress and worries that come along with it. He went above and beyond to help us pin down the right property for us. He was very professional and patient with us. He is an amazing realtor. Having him on our team made us feel better about our purchase.
This is the second time I have used Aaron. Both experiences have been great. I needed to do a sale and purchase with a same day close for both and a same day move out/move in. He made it happen. He worked closely with the buyer realtor, seller realtor, my mortgage broker, and escrow to ensure everything went smoothly and met a tight timeline of less than 30 days. Everything happened seamlessly. He went above and beyond and took care of communication with my new HOA whenever I had questions or needed something. He was always available to answer any questions I had and walked me through the more complex parts of the transactions. He has an in-depth knowledge of the industry and is able to find solutions when complications arise. I highly recommend Aaron.
I have nothing but positive things to say about Aaron. My wife and I have worked with him on three real estate transactions, and each experience has been smooth and positive. Aaron's extensive knowledge across multiple industries sets him apart, enabling us to make informed, data-driven decisions. He is personable and empathetic, working tirelessly to secure the best deals for his clients. If you're looking for a reliable real estate professional in the greater Seattle area, I highly recommend Aaron Wilder as an excellent choice to represent you.
I'm officially a home owner! And I have Aaron and my lending team to thank. They worked together to get me across this hurdle I thought was impassable. As a single father this is huge for my kids and I! Thank you Aaron ??
I recently had the opportunity of working with Aaron to buy our first home, and I couldnt be happier with the experience! From the start, Aaron was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to find us what we were looking for. Aaron took the time to understand our needs and preferences, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. We were camping in Banff during a critical time in the closing process and Aaron was essential in guiding us through the process while we were away. Aaron's expertise in the local market was invaluable, and his negotiation skills ensured that we got the best deal for our needs. He introduced us to the seller credit and the monthly savings been critical as we navigate being a first-time homeowner. Aaron was always available to answer our questions and provided regular updates, keeping me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate professional. He truly goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional service!
My husband and I recently worked with Aaron for the purchase of our first home in Mountlake Terrace. Aaron was recommended to us from a family friend and he did not disappoint! From start to finish, Aaron went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly. Communication was great - Aaron was readily available to answer all of the many questions we had. He took the time to get to know us and it felt like we were working with a friend to buy our home which definitely released some of the stress of being first time home buyers! He guided us through every step of the process with professionalism and expertise. He prepared us for what to expect when buying a home and helped us move quickly to put forward an offer. Aaron provided recommendations of people in the business (lenders, contractors, inspectors, etc.) that he has previously worked with which has been helpful for us to make those connections. We are very thankful to have worked with Aaron and would highly recommend him to any of our friends and family who are in need of a real estate agent!
Aaron went above and beyond to help us get our dream home. He advocated for us tirelessly and ended up getting us the best deal we could have hoped for. Special shoutout to Janie as well, she was a real treat to work with!
Aaron and his team were extremely helpful in helping me purchase my first home. Was able to view many homes on short notice and Aaron was great at scheduling, explaining the process once under contract and then walking through the closing process.
This was my third time working with Aaron and the buying process was extremely smooth despite the cut throat competition many buyers are experiencing in the Seattle area. Aaron has the experience and the knowledge to devise winning offers but will never pressure you to step out of your comfort zone with your budget.
Aaron Wilder is a professional and a savant of the real estate industry. He brings experience and a wealth of knowledge that makes you feel confident that he will fight for you and get you the best deal possible whether you are a buyer or a seller. This is the second time our family has worked with Aaron, the first was our purchase in Seattle April of 2020. We were first time home buyers and had no idea what we were doing, Aaron came to our aid and helped us every step along the way to purchasing our home. The second most recent time was the sale of the same home in Seattle, March of 2023. We loved our first home but we had a baby and it was time for our home needs to grow with our family needs. Aaron was there again to get the job done for us with his savvy, modern marketing, and negotiating skills we were able to secure an offer and close early. Anyone in need of an agent whether to buy or sell should not hesitate to go with Aaron Wilder.
I would not hesitate to work with Aaron Wilder again. This is the second time we've worked with Aaron. The first was our first home purchase in Seattle April 2020 and the second was the sale of the same home in March 2023. As much as we loved our first home, we had a baby and the house didn't work for us anymore. He is extremely knowledgeable about the market and is a skilled negotiator. We were juggling a move with a baby and getting our home on the market so needless to say had our hands full. Aaron's communication and dedication made the entire process a lot less stressful than it could have been. We are renting now so haven't needed Aaron's services in Tacoma but if that ever changes, we will be calling Aaron.
I've worked with Aaron Wilder for three real estate transactions so far: buying my first house in 2018, selling it in 2022, and buying my second house in 2023. I can't recommend Aaron highly enough. For every transaction, Aaron has been very patient, detail-oriented, and professional. He promptly returns messages and keeps the process moving along efficiently while keeping me informed every step of the way. After having been burned by an incompetent agent last year in another market, I have a whole new appreciation for Aaron's expertise and professionalism and won't hesitate to use him again in the future.
Aaron was a fantastic to work with. He is patient, understanding, and committed to providing us anything and everything we needed to either sell/buy a home
Aaron Wilder helped my partner and I buy a house and then later sell it. Both times he was very communicative and available for all our questions - which were a lot! He was also great at explaining the process and advising us in making the best choices. Highly recommend working with him for your Seattle home buying/selling needs.
The sale of my first home in the Greater Seattle area went through smoothly despite an uncertain time for the housing market in the summer of 2022 - much thanks to Aaron's expertise and diligent attitude. He came ready with the right knowledge and strategy, and all preparation work on my property was arranged and taken care of with little effort from me. Aaron is such a personable agent to work with, and even introduced me to a great out of state agent for my next purchase and I'm so grateful for his assistance.
Aaron Wilder and his team (especially Janie Wilder) at Compass did a great job helping me sell my condo this past June at Carbon 56 in South Lake Union Seattle. I was in a bit of a time crunch to get the sale completed and Aaron was able to get it on the market in less than a week and it sold in two days. Also, I got $10,000 above asking price. Getting the condo sold was further complicated by the fact that the condo is in Seattle and I was in Atlanta. Aaron and his team went above and beyond expectations. He was professional in both actions and communication and kept me apprised of progress right up until the sale closed. If you are looking to buy or sell a house, I highly recommend Aaron Wilder at Compass.
We met Aaron through the first time homebuyer's seminar, and really enjoyed how he shared his knowledge. We left the seminar with the confidence that we could trust him. He is very knowledgeable, trustworthy and reliable. We really enjoyed working with Aaron, and absolutely recommend him!! Thank you so much Aaron!
I enjoyed working with Aaron. He always responded quickly to our inquiries, and consistently provided helpful insight throughout our home-buying process. His knowledge and candor made me feel much more comfortable in selecting and purchasing our new home.
In May, my husband and I bought a home (our first!) in Madison Valley and it wouldn't have been possible without Aaron. We met Aaron through a course he teaches with WSHFC. He impressed me with his deep knowledge of the current Seattle housing market. I really liked Aaron's style of working with us -- he approached the process as a teaching opportunity. I learned about a range of topics through our interactions: real estate, house repairs, market fluctuations and more. Aaron grew up in Seattle, so he knows a lot about the area and was able to provide detailed information to our questions ranging from housing specifics to neighborhoods to market trends. He also connected us with a great home inspector who we are now working with on some home repairs. I can't recommend Aaron enough, and I hope to have the chance to work with him again. If we ever decide to sell our house, he will be the first person we call!
We thought that buying a home in Seattle would be stressful, but it wasn't, and we have Aaron to thank for that. Aaron helped us close in less than a month, providing thoughtful guidance on properties, pricing, and neighborhoods. Throughout the process, and even after closing, he was active, responsive, and attentive. As first time home buyers, we found his home buyer's course extremely helpful and a great way to get to know him. I also want to mention that Aaron and his team worked seamlessly with the mortgage lender, the inspector, and all others involved in the process. We'd work with Aaron and his team again in a second.
Aaron has been an incredible realtor throughout our buying and selling journey. He helped us understand where we should focus to get our house ready to put on the market. This was extremely helpful to ensure we spend our budget on the right areas before listing our house. In addition, he helped us purchase a house in a highly competitive market. His strategy and understanding of our strengths helped us submit an attractive offer on the first house we wanted to put in an offer for. We could not be happier with our decision to trust Aaron with our real estate journey!
Aaron Wilder was fantastic to work with. We truly appreciated his expertise and guidance in buying our new home. His straightforward approach along with his experience put us at ease. He was responsive and his analysis work provided great prospective for homes in Shoreline, WA. June 2022.
Aaron Wilder was fantastic guiding us through purchasing our first home! He is kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. Working through such a stressful and challenging process in such a competitive market (Seattle/ NE Shoreline), Aaron sincerely put us at ease and prioritized our wants and needs to help us settle in as worry-free as possible. I highly recommend Aaron Wilder, and have to my family and friends!
Working with Aaron Wilder was a great experience. He helped us buy our first home. He was professional and answered our many questions. I would recommend working with him!
I took a chance on Aaron Wilder after attending a first-time home buyer's class he was teaching, and I'm so glad I did! Aaron made the process a delight. He helped me keep a positive attitude in a super tough housing market, and also gave me honest feedback to help me stay focused on what was achievable with my budget. He has oodles of good advice, but what i appreciated the most was that he treated me with respect- which can be hard to find as a woman making a big purchase by herself. After only a few walk-throughs, I closed on the perfect house in Everett in late April! Thanks Aaron, for making my dream a reality!
Aaron Wilder was the buying agent and seller agent for our first house in Shoreline, WA. Aaron brought a professional, but friendly approach to the home buying and selling process. Aaron also was able to recommend a mortgage lender who we used that we really liked. Being that this was our first time buying and selling a house, Aaron also was able to cut through the jargon and explained things clearly to us. When selling our home, Aaron was able to help us find a contractor for some last-minute upgrades, an inspector, a landscaper, and a stager to make sure our house showed well. We were able to sell our house in a week and Aaron got us through the home selling process in about 3 weeks. We would recommend Aaron and his team to anyone looking to sell a house in the Seattle area!
Aaron has been a great agent for us. He guided us through the purchase and sale of our previous home and even assisted us as we dealt with complications purchasing or current home even though it is outside of his operating network. He's communicates well, is very responsive, goes to bat when it's time, and had our best interests at heart. If we move back too the Seattle area we will be working with Aaron again. Anyone that chooses to make Aaron their agent will never wonder if they made the right choice.
I worked with Aaron Wilder when I was purchasing my first home in Seattle in March of 2022. Seattle has a competitive sellers market so I was thankful that Aaron was there to teach me how the process worked and help me make a competitive offer. Aaron is very patient and thanks to him responding to questions quickly, focusing on what I want in a home, and finding information that I didnt even know to ask I felt confident when making my offer and closing on the home. I highly recommend Aaron for real estate needs and I will definitely be working with him again.
This was my second time working with Aaron and the buying process was extremely smooth despite the cut throat competition many buyers are experiencing in the Seattle area. Aaron has the experience and the knowledge to devise winning offers but will never pressure you to step out of your comfort zone with your budget.
We were thrilled to get to work with Aaron Wilder on a purchase of a single family home in Seattle, WA in February 2022. While it can be a crazy market, Aaron was outstanding as we worked through the process, especially when it came to being a realistic voice as we crafted competitive offers. Aaron was able to help us navigate an off-market deal that got us in a great neighborhood while staying under our budget. Weve really appreciated Aarons guidance and look forward to recommending him to our friends.
I worked with Aaron as a first-time homebuyer for a house in Bremerton, WA back in 2018, and again when selling the house in 2022. I couldn't recommend Aaron highly enough. For both transactions, Aaron was very patient, detail-oriented, and professional. He's prompt to return messages, and keeps the process moving along efficiently. I no longer live in the Seattle area, but if I did I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to Aaron again for any real estate needs.
I purchased a house in Mountlake Terrace in January, thanks to the help of Aaron and his assistant, Janie. As a first-time homebuyer (and now homeowner!) who was navigating a FSBO deal, I am immensely grateful for Aaron's patience, honesty, insight, and expertise. Aaron went above and beyond in keeping me informed every step of the way, explaining everything to me in detail, and ensuring the deal went smoothly. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and couldn't be happier with the way things turned out. Aaron exceeded my expectations and hopes for working with a realtor 10000%, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Aaron was helpful even before we moved across the country (OCT2021). His knowledge of Seattle + surrounding areas made it easy to navigate as we had a small time frame to find a property. Aaron made the process an easy one. We couldn't be more grateful + highly recommend him for all your real estate needs!
Aaron has been amazing to work with! We bought and sold our home with him, both experiences were seamless and we even closed the sale of our house early. Highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking to sell or buy!
Don't look any further than Aaron. He will get you into the right place. We moved into our house 6 weeks after we started the process! Aaron's assistant, Janie, is also an amazing person to work with!
Aaron's great! He's extremely responsive and clearly has a ton of experience in getting deals to closure. He was up-front about potential concerns and delays in the process, set accurate expectations, and knew how to handle the selling party when they were being difficult. Aaron Wilder has closed two deals on my behalf, and if I need a third I wouldn't dream of going to anyone else.
My husband and I first met Aaron Wilder four years ago when he was an instructor at a first-time homebuyer class we tookaEUR"immediately we were impressed with his professionalism, knowledge of the Seattle area real estate market, and willingness to jump in and help us navigate the unique difficulties surrounding the purchase of our first home (multiple jobs, including self-employment income, which requires jumping through even more hoops than the typical mortgage lending process). Aaron was kind, attentive and flexibleaEUR"he patiently stuck with us through a long four-year process while we worked on saving downpayment money, consolidating debt, and getting a new business off the ground so that we could make our home-ownership dreams come true. When we were finally ready to purchase our first home, Aaron jumped in without missing a beat, recommended a thorough and reliable lender, constantly looked for homes that fit our unique needs (MIL unit for the price of a single family, within an hour of downtown Seattle on public transit), and advised us on the best strategy to make a winning offer. They say the key to real estate is to remain unemotional, but as every homeowner knows, taking all of the emotion out of buying your first (or any) home is next to impossible. After we made an ambitious first offer on a home in north Seattle (well over asking) and were outbid by two others in this highly competitive market, we took it pretty hard. The next day Aaron spent 30 minutes on the phone with us, quelling my anxieties about being stuck in an apartment also tethered to my job, desperate to find a house as soon as possible, knowing there was very little I could do to hurry the process. Still, Aaron vowed to help us find a home we loved even more than the one we lost and get another offer in within two weeksaEUR"and boy did he deliver. Almost two weeks later to the day we found a home we loved even more than the first one and, taking his advice, we did everything we could to make our best and final offeraEUR"and we got it! Thirty days later (the longest month of our lives!) we closed, with Aaron guiding us every step of the way (including talking me through the painstaking process of buying a house as a small-business owneraEUR"and off an emotional ledge or two). Aaron kept his promise, and four years after we first met and just a few months after we started the home-buying hunt, he got us into our very first home in Shoreline, WA on offer two (and in a market where many of our friends have had to make six to eight offers and counting). After having a less-than-decent experience with another agent during my parents' home sale last year, we consider ourselves infinitely lucky that we ended up with Aaron this time aroundaEUR"the seller's agent even dropped by after move-in to tell us how great a job Aaron did representing us as the best of the four offers they had to choose from. We don't plan to sell any time soon, but whatever the future may bring for us and real estate, Aaron's our guy! This business is built on relationships, and Aaron has proven his value to us time and time again. We just wouldn't dream of using anyone else.
Aaron Wilder is the absolute best agent, he is incredibly responsive and knowledgeable. He knows all the tricks to navigate the crazy housing market and from our consult in June 2021 to closing in July 2021, he had me in the perfect condo in Des Moines right on Puget Sound. He found me a dream home! And negotiated closing for 10K under asking. If you want to buy a home, go with Aaron Wilder & Compass Realestate!!
Aaron Wilder is a PRO!! He was there for us every step of the way through the purchase of our first home in Seattle, WA! Aaron understood our unique situation and his experience was invaluable in helping us craft an offer to get the deal done! Thank You Aaron!
Aaron Wilder and his assistant Janie Wilder were wonderful in our house hunting. At times we felt like giving up due to be outbid for homes. But they kept encouraging us and we found a wonderful home in Puyallup, WA. We closed on time and the process was smooth and excellent. It was exactly what we expected. I love my home. Thank-you and your team for the hard work and excellent customer service
Aaron is excellent! He helped me buy a condo in June 2021 in Bonney Lake with his deep knowledge of the Puget Sound region and the competitive real estate market. The best interests of his client are his priority; he went above and beyond to make sure I happily landed in the right home. He was straightforward, took the time to educate me, and always kept me informed. Calm and friendly, Aaron is dedicated, professional, responsive, proactive, and his negotiation skills are the best. Highly recommended!
Aaron Wilder helped me buy a condo in the Lower Queen Anne/Uptown neighborhood of Seattle on May 13, 2021. He and his assistant Janie were incredibly helpful, kind, patient, knowledgeable, and on top of things through the entire process. No question was too small, no request too large. Everything happened right on schedule and we closed 30 days from offer acceptance. If you're in the market to buy or sell, I HIGHLY recommend Aaron! He helps put on seminars for first-time homebuyers, too, and he understands clients going through down payment assistance. I definitely had an all around amazing experience
Made us feel like his only clients, helped us stand out in a crowded market, an absolute pro that we will refer everyone to! Was honest with us even if it wasn't what we wanted to hear, and helped us buy a house after only a month of active searching (and some strict parameters for what we were looking for).
We just finished buying our first home working with Aaron and we highly recommend using him as a real estate agent. I imagine there are a lot of great real estate agents in the Seattle area, but the main reason I would recommend working with Aaron over them is because he made what is often a very stressful process feel as under-control and relaxed as could be. He did a great job explaining the market to us and fully preparing us ahead of time for what buying a house in this area entails. We were also amazed at his ability to step into our lives for a few months and make us feel as comfortable talking to him on almost a daily basis. To top it off, he works with a lot of other great people often (inspector, lender, etc.) that were great to get connected to. Aaron is exactly the kind of agent you want in a real estate market as competitive as Seattles; someone that will make you feel prepared, comfortable, and streamline the process for you while making sure you get the house you want.
I highly recommend Aaron Wilder as a broker. My experience with him was as a seller in the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle. He was recommended to me by the mortgage loan officer I had worked with in purchasing the property. I found Aaron to be proficient and knowledgeable, honest and reliable, and communicative/ easily reachable. He is highly personable and professional - a proficient and knowledgeable agent, always keeping things on track business-wise while allowing for the perfect degree of friendly conversation. After initially viewing my home, he presented me with a market analysis of the property that very much helped me to understand the actual value of my property based on the market and similar home sales in the area. He is an absolute straight shooter, which I greatly appreciated. He seemed genuinely enthused about selling my property, pointing out the positives as well as the negatives, and set forth a (suggested) prioritized list of improvements. He aptly attended to the real estate ends of the process, so I could focus on what I needed to get done with as little stress as possible. My home sold quickly and seemIessly. I would highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Seattle area.
Aaron helped me to sell my south Seattle townhome during the pandemic, which is no easy task. He was always responsive to my many questions and regularly kept me up to date on the process and the changing market. This is the first home Ive sold, so I really appreciated the great communication each step of the way! Aaron has a depth of real estate knowledge and background so I felt like I was in good hands. Hes also just a nice person to work with. I highly recommend him!
