ZillowVERIFIEDAli and her team did an outstanding job of providing guidance to me, completing the preparation and marketing for the sale, and managing the details of the transaction since I had already left the area. I highly recommend!

ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Ali Mills has been an incredible experience from start to finish. She went above and beyond in every aspect of the process aEUR" her rigor, market knowledge, transparency, professionalism, and strong ethics truly set her apart. I felt completely supported, guided, and informed at every step. I also want to mention Rebecca Morrissey, who supported Ali throughout and did an outstanding job coordinating and making sure everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. What I appreciated most was how much I learned through the process thanks to Alis patience and ability to explain every detail with clarity and honesty. She anticipated what we needed, helped us make informed decisions, and always had our best interest in mind. I highly recommend Ali to anyone looking for a trusted, knowledgeable, and truly exceptional real estate partner. I'm grateful for this journey and wouldnt hesitate to work with her again!

ZillowVERIFIEDAli and her team recently handled both the sale of my existing residence and my purchase of a new home. Every aspect of my sale and purchase transactions were executed flawlessly - from the soundness of her suggestions and recommendations, to the insights and clarity of her answers to my questions, to the thoroughness of her preparations, she made these the easiest and smoothest transactions I've ever experienced. Ali is the consummate professional. Ali/Windermere also have a group called Windermere Transaction Services, which tracks every phase and step of the selling and purchase transactions. Every Friday afternoon I received an email from them with updates of every aspect of each transaction broken out by task, person responsible, due date for completion of task, progress of task, and next steps. Needless to say, any "who's doing what and when" questions and worries I might have had were always answered in that email. It was the perfect roadmap, as it kept me consistently informed and calm. I can't recommend Ali enough. Her competency, professionalism, integrity, personability, and project management skills are second to none. If I had known Ali earlier in life, I would have had her handle every one of my real estate transactions. John Kerr

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have now had Ali Mills representing us as a buyer and a seller. Ali is extremely knowledgeable about the market and was able to give us invaluable guidance. During the sale of our property, Ali took great care of every detail from inspections and repairs to staging and open houses. We had multiple offers within days. Know if you chose Ali Mills for your real estate needs, you will be in expert hands!

ZillowVERIFIEDAs a first-time homebuyer, I was understandably nervous about selecting a home and making one of my biggest investments! I'm so glad I chose Ali Mills as my real estate agent. First and foremost, I appreciate her patience and understanding. Buying a first home was an emotional journey for me. Ali listened to my concerns, and made me feel heard and supported. I was able to trust Ali with this journey and that helped to relieve my anxieties. She was honest and up front in each stage of the process. There were no surprises, and Ali provided me with all the information I needed to make informed decisions. Ali was also through and resourceful. She advocated for my needs and went above and beyond when it came to researching questions or tracking down estimates for repair. Her knowledge and contacts were a great help throughout the process. Finally, I didn't realize how much the agent does after you find the right house! I was impressed with Ali's ability to move through all the steps, along with her tenacity and knowledge. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Ali again, or to recommend her to anyone else feeling nervous about the home-buying process. She is also witty and personable. Now that I have my new amazing house, I really miss talking to Ali!

ZillowVERIFIEDI was referred to Ali through Windermere relocation services and she was perfect! I can't say enough. I went through a recent divorce and needed to downsize and was intimidated and nervous about going through the selling and buying process on my own. She held my hand through every step and became a friend. The process went so smoothly and she was great to work around my crazy work schedule. She was spot on with the timing of selling my large Bellevue house to get top dollar and helped me find the perfect smaller home in Maple Valley in the neighborhood I wanted. She helped with needed contractors, referrals, cleaners, appointments, etc. She is the best!

ZillowVERIFIEDAli is the consummate professional and extremely knowledgeable. She walked us through the entire process and kept us informed every step of the way. Even after the closing she has remained available in helping us navigate the moving with recommendations. We feel truly fortunate to have found ourselves this wonderful lady!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had a great experience working with Ali. She was proactive and informed about the market area and went above and beyond to get us into our dream house in a difficult market by directly communicating with selling agents. We never had difficulty reaching her and she maintained regular communication with us even after the sale was closed. She provided lot of contacts for any contractors we needed as well.

Review for Member: Ali Mills
ZillowVERIFIEDAli was recommended to us by my company's relocation concierge along with a couple other agents (after we had a few non-successes with previous agents we found on our own). She came across as the most organized, proactive, and high-touch. Furthermore, she had the pluses of Windermere: name recognition and an exclusive Buyer Capital relationship. We especially appreciated how Ali: - starts out by getting to know you as a person and your needs & concerns, and therefore helping to figure out what properties address your needs. - worked with our broad geographic search. New to the area but particular about a few things, we were looking in a wide range of neighborhoods and even counties. Ali was accommodating in seeing houses (or finding an associate to see houses) all over with us, including from her home base of Eastside and beyond King County to Kitsap, Island, and Snohomish. - was communicative and candid. Working with Ali and the Buyer Capital program, we were able to buy a house we wanted in an extremely competitive, fast-moving market, under the pressure of our own timeline to move. She also has excellent connections and great taste. She recommended painters (and even a color or two) who were able to paint before our move in and we absolutely love the way they transformed the house interiors to our aesthetic!

ZillowVERIFIEDAli was able to successfully negotiate our very unique house by implementing outside of the box ideas. She exceeded our aspirations and expectations by a mile, sold our home in record time and made the process so easy for us. If youre in need of a knowledgeable realtor who actually listens, please reach out to Ali. You will not be disappointed!

Review for Member: Ali Mills
ZillowVERIFIEDAli was great. We found her after firing another agent. We had a significant list of restrictions in our house hunt. She was able to help us find a house that was more than "acceptable." We ended up looking in an area that was just out of her "home" range. So she didn't know off-hand some of my questions about the area, but always found the answers quickly. She had a great home inspector ready and able to help with the ridiculously urgent pre-offer inspection in this market. Because of her expertise and dedication, we only made one offer on one house. We now own it.

ZillowVERIFIEDAli is attentive, knowledgable, and well qualified in the high end market to support either a buyer or a seller in the Washington real estate market. Her attention to detail, along with her super client rapport makes her an easy and natural choice for all our Realtor needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDAli is the trusted advisor you need when you are looking to have all the data and information you need but don't have the time to ask question after question to get there. She has the savvy to anticipate the information you will need and peak around corners so that you can decide what is right for you quickly, or take your time because she completely understands what a personal decision the buying or selling of your home can be. Ali knows the balance between when to act quickly and when to give some space based on the market and/or based on your needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDAli is the best. We had an amazing experience working with her to buy a home in an absolutely crazy seller's market. From the first time we met, we felt like we were her priority - she listened to our must-haves and nice-to-haves (as they changed multiple times) and we never felt rushed. She went out of her way to set up showings for us on very short notice. She helped us put together a competitive offer, communicated immediately throughout, and ultimately helped us close on our new home. I cannot recommend her more highly.

ZillowVERIFIEDThis is the 2nd time in 2 years we got to work with Ali as shed helped us sell our house in Redmond in November of 2019. As expected, she was fantastic to work with in this transaction. There are several attributes that distinguish Alis work that my wife and I come to expect and admire, particularly her attention to detail, her timely responses and her knowledge of the market. But above all, its her integrity, dependability and trustworthiness that we appreciate the most. Incidentally, this transaction turned out to be a bit unique in that we were able to convince the sellers to do an off-market sales transaction without having an agent. Because of that, Ali had to provide a fair amount of assistance to the sellers all the while still representing us. True to form, Ali was terrific in providing advice to both sides during negotiations and then very meticulously guiding both sides along the escrow process, resulting in a win-win transaction that both parties were very pleased with. It was our pleasure to work with Ali in this transaction, and we look forward to working with her again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhat can I say, Ali was there every step of the way. Over the course of 1 year she took me to a variety of houses/condos until I found the perfect one. She mailed 700 hand addressed flyers to homeowners in my desired neighborhood and from that I bought a house at a good price before it went on the market. I wanted to sell my original house as soon as possible, so 2 weeks later I put my house on the market and it sold in 1 week for $300,000 over the listing house. It can't get better than that. Throughout the whole process she was prompt, thorough and professional. If you are looking for excellent, no nonsense agent who delivers then she is the one!

ZillowVERIFIEDThis is a late review but as they say, better late than never. We just found Ali by chance. I was walking to view a listed home when I chanced on meeting one of her friends whose daughter is then selling Girl Scout cookies. We were introduced and that started it all. Ali is very responsive. Whenever we texted/emailed her about a property we find interesting, she would send us details, her expert insight of the property, and when possible, arrange a viewing. She would tell us what is good and not-so-good about a property we are interested in. I remember, for one property which I personal like, she said "This is a very nice property, yes. But this I will tell you that when you tell me in the future 'Ali, we want you to sell the house.' I will be honest there might be some challenges as it is near a busy road, which some people might not like." This home we now live was a last-minute viewing (last day and hour). We got it for a reasonable price. We are very grateful to her helping us acquire this home.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have bought 3 homes and Ali was a professional who earnestly listened to what my wife and I wanted and really helped us find our perfect home. She was tenacious and always in our corner and guided us through the Seattle area real estate market. I would highly recommend Ali and absolutely someone you want on your team when buying or selling in the Seattle area.

ZillowVERIFIEDAli has done an excellent job with the sale of our home. She went above and beyond to ensure the entire process was as stress free as possible for us.

Review for Member: Ali Mills
ZillowVERIFIEDAli was a huge asset in our complicated home sale and purchase. We decided to secure our own lender and pursue a bridge loan to move out prior to selling. Ali was able to negotiate well below list price and when we had some last minute surprises with our lender, she was able to refer us to a better lender that got us through the process. Ali worked tirelessly on the sale of our prior home as well. It was a tricky sale with few to no comparables in the area, during the winter slowdown... and then hit with the Covid-19 crisis. I don't think we could have thrown Ali any more curve balls, which she handled seamlessly. Not to mention counseling us through such an emotional emotional rollercoaster. I highly endorse Ali to entrust with your home sale or purchase. You will not regret it.

ZillowVERIFIEDIt was great working with Ali on the purchase of a rental property. We were buying outside of her normal area of coverage, but she was very willing to jump in the care and go look at houses, as well as do the needed market analysis. We were buying over a period when she had a pre-planned 5 day vacation. While she was away, she had a partner agent take great of us. Very smooth experience.

ZillowVERIFIEDAli is fantastic! Not only is she friendly, easy to work with but she also takes the time to explain to you about the process to ensure there is no confusion. And if there is (which there was as new home buyers) she took the time to teach us what everything meant and helped guide us into purchasing a home that was perfect for us. I will definitely recommend Ali and whenever we decide to sell our home we will be working with Ali again. You will not be disappointed with her strong work ethic and kind demeanor. Thank you again Ali!

ZillowVERIFIEDSimply put, Ali far exceeded our expectations in every aspect of her service. She is highly knowledgeable of local real estate market trends, extremely thorough and responsive in her follow-ups, and very savvy and experienced in developing and executing a sales plan aimed at delivering results. Within a week of our house being listed, we had a buyer under contract and then were able to close the deal on time at 99.4% of our asking price. Above all, Ali is a consummate professional who is highly ethical, exceedingly trustworthy and extremely thoughtful. My wife and I feel very fortunate to have found someone of her caliber and character as our advisor and would definitely plan to enlist her service again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIEDAli has sold two investment houses for us now. Both times, she has given advice in a thoughtful way, supported her opinions on the market with data, and has constant/immediate communication. We were putting one house up for sale at the exact time as another house across the street which we werent sure would be more desireable to the market, but we made some good choices with Alis advice and sold higher than the larger home! Weve been very happy with Ali and would definitely use her again.

ZillowVERIFIEDAli was fantastic to work with! She gave great advice on a few key things we could do to improve our home before listing that would increase the selling price, and she was spot on. She negotiated a great deal and our house sold for more per sqft than any other house in our neighborhood YTD. Ali was always proactive with communications about next steps etc. and prompt in replying to our calls/emails. She had all the data and research about our area readily available - she knows her stuff! We truly enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her.

Review for Member: Ali Mills
ZillowVERIFIEDI was blown away by how incredibly knowledgeable , responsive, open, totally available and ethical Ali is. Any time there was a decision to be made, she called with the details, the pros and cons, and never tried to influence my decision one way or the other - just provided all the information, answered my questions, and implemented my decision. Our home was a very unusual one, and thus there was little to compare it to. Ali researched arduously to come up with numbers that made sense. She was totally respectful of our wishes and was very supportive and empathetic regarding my emotional struggles involved in selling my childhood home. She went beyond her responsibilities to set up all the many things that needed doing that I think the seller often takes care of, because I live 2.5 hours away, and these tasks would have been so sad for me. She initially paid out of her own pocket for some of these services, in the interest of time and sparing my feelings (having the leftovers from the estate sale taken care of, lining up cleaners to come in after that and prepare the house for showing, etc. she even took a safe to a place that could open it, and paid for that). I could go on and on about all the things Ali did that so impressed me, and her flawless real estate knowledge, and the brilliant and pleasant person she is. Feel free to refer potential clients to me if they want to talk about my experience with Ali Tamblyn. Hang onto this girl! Lee Anne French

ZillowVERIFIEDWe found her by accident, and are so glad we did! Ali is the most knowledgeable, prompt, pleasant, hard-working agent (or professional in any field!) I've ever known. Her attention to detail, her knowledge of the process and every little twist that comes up is impressive. If she doesn't know the answer to a question, she immediately connects with someone who does and clears it right up. She is masterful at being familiar with all the details, and gives me all possible scenarios so I can make an educated decision. Despite my occasional plea, she never tells me what she thinks I should do - just gives me pros and cons and all available information, and let's me decide (to my occasional dismay). Ali is in touch the minute a new development arises, or when there's something to report. I'm never left wondering what's going on. She calls or emails with detailed reports of the latest development comes up. She is honest and straightforward about what the market will bear, and doesn't hesitate to explain all the particulars so I can make a smart decision. She went above and beyond her role as an agent. She's a gem, and if I owned a Real Estate Company, I would feel extremely fortunate to have Ali Tamblyn on my team. Plus, she's extremely nice and I enjoyed all my contacts with her.

Review for Member: Ali Mills
ZillowVERIFIEDAli has been an amazing agent to us, assisting both with the purchase of our home and with an unexpected relocation, the sale of that same home nearly two years later. Due to our positive purchase experience, we could not imagine using anyone other than Ali for the sale of our house as well. Due to the circumstances, we had to move quickly which meant dealing with a lot of arrangements remotely. Ali was incredibly helpful in advising on the updates needed to maximize the sale of our house, and went above and beyond to help coordinate landscaping, painting and staging services. I would not typically expect an agent to go to the extent she did to help us out, but am so thankful that she was willing and able to do so in what was a very stressful time. When it came time to accept offers, we were very fortunate to have excellent options. This was no doubt a reflection of the advise Ali had given in preparing the house for the sale. Ali helped us negotiate through the offer process, and helped counsel us through some decisions with potential changes the buyer wanted to make after the closing process had initiated. Our closing process went smoothly and we couldn't be happier with the results! Many thanks to Ali for being our agent and much, much more!

ZillowVERIFIEDAli represented us as the seller, and did a wonderful job. Very responsive, up to date on the market and able to communicate to us appropriate expectations, listed promptly with a great write up and closed in less than a month, worked around some difficult issues, and always provided us opinions/options but with plenty of room for us to make the best decision for us. Would highly recommend her to any friends looking on the Eastside.

Review for Member: Ali Mills
ZillowVERIFIEDAli brings a ton of expertise to the table but still makes the process highly consultative. Given the age of our home and some deferred maintenance, she was able to give great advice as to what areas we should tackle that would impress buyers. She also provided multiple recommendations where we needed a professional - and there was never a hint of pressure to use any of those resources. The attention to detail up front gave us a concrete plan that we could execute and we are very happy with how everything turned out. We're positive the steps we collaboratively took up front, combined with her understanding of pricing and positioning, resulted in a sale above asking price. More importantly, we received multiple offers and it was clear that the important things to us (quick close, accept our inspection, work with us if appraisal came in lower than asking) were communicated by Ali to the buyer agents. This last part can't be understated. She knew exactly what was acceptable in this sellers market and was careful to let us know where sticking points can arise with buyers and their agents. We will absolutely recommend Ali to our friends and family and we look forward to maintaining a relationship with her going forward.

ZillowVERIFIEDAli has been a wonderful partner during our home buying and selling relationship. She has a calm confidence that immediately put us at ease and allowed us to move forward with our focus on finding the right home for us, knowing that she would bring up nuances we should consider at the appropriate time. She has the ability to share clear opinions based on her years of experience while still noting that as clients we have the final say. This allowed us to make the 'right' decisions for us at each step, confident that we knew the likely outcome. Her contacts and suggestions with handymen and tradesmen allowed us to move quickly on matters of preparing our old home for sale, which kept our focus on the more exciting prospect of our new home. We highly recommend Ali, whether you are looking to buy or sell your home.

ZillowVERIFIEDAli is incredibly proactive and very thorough in every aspect of her job. From the start, she was very attentive to and respectful of our situation and was very flexible in accommodating our circumstances. When we finally decided to launch into our search, we had a mutual interview initiated by Ali, to ensure our expectations of each other were in line and clear upfront. Her professional approach to everything, mixed with a great personality made it easy and wonderful to work with Ali. I can say with absolute certainty that Ali takes both the professional and personal aspects of purchasing a home to heart. I can also attest from many conversations with Ali, that no matter what stage you're in be it looking for a rental, considering land to build on, or selling/buying- she gives everything equal importance. Ali genuinely cares about each of her clients, and goes above and beyond to help make every step of the journey and transition much easier to manage. While we did interview with Ali at the start, we did not ask her experience...we were so very comfortable with her approach, personality and professionalism it never occurred to us. She may be new to the industry, but the way she conducts her business you would not know! One thing to note: I have very high expectations as our brokers in CA were very seasoned in the industry. And as they are longtime friends of ours, we have seen a lot of the "inside" action required of brokers (& heard many horror stories of those who maybe shouldn't be in the business) over the years which has shaped my expectations. That being said, we had an equally wonderful and successful experience with Ali as we did with them. That speaks volumes to the pride and ability Ali has in what she does. We will be forever thankful for our chance meeting which led to an amazing home purchase experience - Thanks so much Ali!!

ZillowVERIFIEDAli was super helpful from day 1. We began our search in Issaquah, her area of expertise, but ended up needing a place in the Bothell area. She was diligent in her research of the less familiar area and did everything she could to help us find the perfect place. I genuinely felt like she was a friend and I was not only her client throughout the whole process. As we are young and new to these processes, she was very patient with us and thorough.
