ZillowVERIFIEDBrennen and Mary worked with us every step of the home buying process and were incredibly patient as we navigated it all for the first time. They quickly understood what we were looking for and recommended great options and in great areas of West Seattle. We appreciated their dedication to us and helping us find the right home. We had many laughs along the way, making a stressful process much more fun and approachable. I highly recommend working with them!

ZillowVERIFIED Brennen and Mary did an amazing job selling our home. We had a unique situation where we had listed our home in 2025, and it did not sell so we took it off the market and decided to relook at agents. We met with Brennen, who had made a personal video addressing how he would approach selling our home in 2026 prior to our meeting, and we were sold. We knew that Brennen and Mary would get the job done, and after about a few weeks on the market, our house went pending and closed shortly thereafter. During the process, Brennen and Mary were patient, knowledgeable, and listened to us as clients. Overall, we were so happy with the service Brennen and his team provided and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to sell or buy. Cannot say enough good things about both Brennen and Mary aEUR" they are both excellent at what they do!

ZillowVERIFIED Brennen and Mary and the team are so lovely! They had my best interests in mind throughout the whole search and negotiation process. The team is a rare and much appreciated combination of data-driven market expertise, clear & timely communication, positivity, thoughtfulness, resourcefulness, and professionalism. After going through this process and both the expected and unexpected hurdles we had to figure out, I trust this team so much to get things done while being a pleasure to work with. I'm really looking forward to working with them again!

ZillowVERIFIED Brennen and Mary were absolutely fantastic to work with. They were instrumental in helping us acquire a home across the country and made the process seamless. I have purchased several properties over the years and this was the best service ever. I have no reservations about this recommendation.

Review for Member: Brennen Clouse
ZillowVERIFIED I worked with Brennen and Mary for about 2aEUR"3 months, and the entire process was smooth and transparent. As a first-time homebuyer, I really appreciated how they took the time to educate me on every step aEUR" from home buying to lending and closing. They were always extremely responsive, and I was consistently able to tour properties of my choice within a day or two. When it came to crafting offers, Brennen provided thoughtful guidance and strategic suggestions while allowing me full flexibility to structure my offer the way I wanted. With their support, I was able to close on my desired property just two days after submitting my initial offer. Id highly recommend Brennen and Mary to anyone looking for an efficient, fair, and frustration-free home-buying experience.

ZillowVERIFIED Brennen and Mary helped us find a great condo in Belltown. It checked all our boxes. They were patient with us after losing out on a couple of offers and helped us find a great property manager. Very good service and fun to work with. I would recommend Brennen and his team and would use them again for my Seattle real estate needs.

Review for Member: Brennen Clouse
ZillowVERIFIED Brennen and his team were a pleasure to work with while we were looking for our first house. They understood that our timeline for purchasing a house was flexible and they never pressured us to speed up the process. When we found properties we were interested in they were always responsive to our request to tour or to find more information. Once we were under contract, the transaction went very smoothly and they went above an beyond to help facilitate answering all of the big and small questions that came up. I would definitely recommend working with Brennen and his team.

ZillowVERIFIED Brennen and Mary were fantastic. They helped us find a new home in record time. Throughout the negotiation process, they were absolute pros and helped us get a great deal on our condo. On top of that, we encountered a couple minor issues once we moved in, and they helped us resolve those in a timely manner as well. Overall, highly recommended. We'll definitely work with them again to buy or sell a home in Seattle.

ZillowVERIFIED Brennen came in as our 2nd realtor after we struggled to sell our condo in Seattle for 6 months previously. He had such an impressive plan and network reach with tiered options we could choose from that specifically met our needs. He sent regular reports, was very communicative and proactive, represented our wishes well in negotiations and was both realistic and tactical in response to market conditions and our desires. He brought our condo to close and with an expedited closing at that, connecting us with all great experts to support the process. He was supportive and kind and his organization is very polished.

ZillowVERIFIED We had a fantastic experience working with Brennen and Mary. As a first time homebuyer there was a lot to learn, and they were integral to demystifying the process for us. Beyond that, they truly made the experience fun and we honestly looked forward to touring new homes. I am so thankful for their advice and support, and would absolutely work with them again and recommend them to anyone starting the home buying process! Thank you so much!

Review for Member: Brennen Clouse
ZillowVERIFIED I loved working with Brennen and Mary to purchase my first home! They set up a search that fit my needs so I could browse the market, and were quick to set up tours when I had interest. They walked me through the entire home buying process aEUR" which was super helpful as this was my first time entering the market. They made sure I knew what to expect and when, and helped me negotiate a good closing price. While I ended up shopping around for lenders, they also introduced me to a trusted mortgage lender who got me started on the loan education process. Brennen and Mary pay close attention to detail of their clients and make sure you are well taken care of. Id highly recommend them as your realtors!

Review for Member: Brennen Clouse
ZillowVERIFIED I was an out-of-state buyer looking to relocating to Seattle with a very aggressive timeline. I connected with Brennen through a friend's referral and I am so grateful that worked out because Brennen and Mary were simply amazing. I wasn't the easiest buyer to work with because I wasnt too sure what I was looking for - that included type of home, location, size, etc. Brennen and Mary were so patient; they showed me multiple options that covered different angels which eventually helped me narrow down to specific requirements. Being an out-of-state buyer who was not familiar with the area and heard some scary stories about Seattles crime rate, the most challenging part was finding an area thats safe, within reasonal commute distance, and fits my lifestyle. Knowing that I'm a numbers person, Brennen presented me crime stats of several neighborhoods that I was looking at and shared detailed local knowledge to help alleviate concerns and rule out options that didnt suit my likings (I decided to buy in Bryant/Ravenna). Brennens extensive local knowledge also came in clutch when finding comp prices, putting together offers, and working with listing agents (the listing agent of the house I bought told me she had worked with Brennen before and it was pleasant). Brennen and Mary were also superb in providing timely and thorough communications. They were always just a text message or phone call away - from the intro phase, to virtual touring, to making an offering & going into two bidding wars, to closing, they were so consistent and fast in communicating proactively and responding promptly. Moreover, they were able to work with my aggressive timeline - less than a month to go under contract, 20 days to close, etc. Lastly, I appreciate the use of modern technologies along the way that made out-of-state purchasing so much easier: zoom for intro & offer strategy discussion, iCloud for virtual touring sharing, iMessage (silly but nice), e-sign, etc. I highly recommend Brennen and his team to anyone who is looking to sell or purchase in the greater Seattle area!

Review for Member: Brennen Clouse
ZillowVERIFIED "Brennen was instrumental in helping us buy our dream home in Upper Queen Anne, a neighborhood where finding a home can be notoriously difficult. Thanks to his strong network, we were able to avoid a bidding war by securing an off-market property, which made all the difference. We also worked with Brennen on the sale of our first home, where he managed everythingaEUR"from repairs and staging to marketing. His efforts resulted in an all-cash sale, despite it being a tough selling season due to high interest rates. A special shoutout to Mary, part of Brennen's team, who patiently helped us tour dozens of homes before we found the perfect one. We truly appreciate their hard work and dedication throughout the entire process."

Review for Member: Brennen Clouse
ZillowVERIFIED Brennen Clouse was the seller agent in our transaction as buyers. He markets his mid-western values but submitted the home in the MLS as having air conditioning even thought it didn't and took no responsibility for the misrepresentation. He never even acknowledged his mistake. Yes, as buyers, we were required to confirm seller's information, including whether there was A/C. Our agent had no responsibility, but she went above and beyond and got us a partial credit from our agent's company. It doesn't begin to cover the cost of installing A/C, but it was an act of compassion. Brennan showed no such concern. We're from the mid-west as was our agent. We know what mid-western values look like.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Brennen and Mary was an awesome experience. My husband is in the military and I was not living in-state when we were looking for homes, and this team accommodated our every need in order to find a place that worked for us. This included (but is definitely not limited to) going to take videos of places that we couldn't see immediately, answering messages very quickly, and even helping us post-close with the projects we needed to do on the house. They truly have gone above and beyond to help us find a great house and make us feel at home. They truly put care into understanding what we wanted and the kinds of houses that would work and would not, and helped us secure a property we love. I cannot imagine working with a different team! Thanks Brennen and Mary!

ZillowVERIFIED I cannot recommend Brennen and Mary enough for anyone looking to buy or sell a property. They are the best real estate agents in the greater Seattle area. They first helped me find my dream house, and then they helped me sell my old condo, both in record time. They were attentive, detailed, responsive, helpful, and guided me through the whole process with patience and professionalism. They made everything very easy and simple for me. They went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and satisfied with the outcome. They are not only great agents, but also great people. I am so grateful and happy for their service and friendship. Thank you, Brennen and Mary, for making my dreams come true!

ZillowVERIFIED Brennen was so vital for me finding and closing on my first home. He knows the Puget Sound area so well and he was able to help me narrow down my search to match my lifestyle and goals by understanding why some homes were ideal and why others werent. He has years of experience and he is extremely approachable, knowledgeable, and understanding. He was always quick to respond, provide background on homes, sellers, and give me his honest thoughts on the quality we are seeing. This experience was smooth and easier to understand thanks to him because he was able to call out important things to consider when buying a home in this market and location like thinking through longevity, condition, quality, etc. He also has a network of professionals he has worked with that he can give recommendations around diverse fields, like lenders, contractors, etc. Lastly, I greatly appreciate that he is always willing to assist me over the phone, email, whatever is necessary to help me understand homes and the market even post purchase.

ZillowVERIFIED Brennen did an absolute wonderful job with the sale of my home. I live out of state and he was able to manage the end to end process of my sale. He did a wonderful job making recommendations on improvements to increase the value of sale, staged the home beautifully, and was able to list at a higher price that I would have thought. We received offers quickly, which turned into a sale shortly after. I am pleased and extremely grateful for Brennen and his team. Thank you so much for making this an easy and amazing process.

ZillowVERIFIED Thank you Brennen for helping with another milestone in our lives! Not only did Brennen help us buy our home for WAY under asking, but he helped us sell it a few years later for a high price. We performed the entire sale of the home remotely from NYC, with Brennen handling all the hard work and keeping us updated. Thanks so much Brennen!

Review for Member: Brennen Clouse
ZillowVERIFIED We are so happy to be in our new home! Brennen, from the beginning of the process was available to us for all our needs. After visiting our first home with Brennen we knew he would be our agent for the long haul. Over the course of several months, we visited many homes around Queen Anne, and he was able to accommodate our busy schedule. He continued to learn our style and preference throughout the our search and utilized that information to better match us with homes. There was never any pressure to make a purchase or decision on a home and he was objective and honest. We may not have been his biggest clients, but it often felt like we were his only clients. He and his team also have a great wealth of knowledge and shared strategies for us to optimize our offer. We will be recommending Brennen and his team to our family and friends. Having worked with other agents, I can say Brennen is top notch.

ZillowVERIFIED Brennen and team were amazing to work with! From the very beginning, they had a great process to ensure we understood what we needed, focused our search and helped drive efficient search and close process.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Brennen was great - he helped my wife and I purchase our first home and walked us through every step in the process! We started our search virtually from across the country, and Brennen kept us informed of new listings, what the neighborhoods were like, and what our options were. When we got to the Seattle area, he helped find our new home and strategize a competitive offer. We feel lucky to have had Brennen and his team on our side in this crazy market!

ZillowVERIFIED Brennen is a really good real estate agent and very easy to work with! We recently relocated from San Francisco Bay Area to Seattle Metro. Being in a new city with little knowledge about the neighborhoods can be very over-whelming. With Brennen we visited many houses (some weekends around 5 properties) and submitted offers to 4-5 times. He helped us navigate through the process in this highly competitive real estate market. He is very helpful, professional and insightful. We would love to work with him in future and recommend him to highly.

Review for Member: Brennen Clouse
ZillowVERIFIED I'm not the kind of person that leaves reviews, but in this case myself and my girlfriend have been so impressed with Brennen and his team that we have to heartily recommend him to others looking for a great agent. As first-time homebuyers, we didnt know much about the process of buying a condo and we searched for an agent on Zillow. During our initial sync, Brennen walked us through the entire process and explained what we should expect at each stage. He described all of this to us in laymans terms and we were immediately convinced he was the perfect agent for us. We then started touring condos with Brennen and were immediately positively impressed by his knowledge of the Seattle downtown market. His insights and deep expertise have proved valuable to us and reduced some of the anxiety we had going in as first-time homebuyers. At no point did we feel pressured in any way and we were given plenty of time to figure out our priorities. Brennen went the extra mile on many occasions during this process and was very responsive to our many questions. On top of all of this, he negotiated for us a great price. Overall, the whole experience has been so smooth and Brennen played a large role in all of this. Thank you for helping us find the perfect home! If youre looking for a great agent that will help you find or sell a home, then I strongly encourage you go with Brennen and his team.

ZillowVERIFIED Being a first time homebuyer is hard, and buying a home during a pandemic is also hard, but Brennen helped make the process easy.

ZillowVERIFIED I can't recommend Brennen enough! We had a tight timeline for finding and purchasing a home, and he went above and beyond to make sure we found the perfect one. He was very responsive and answered all our questions quickly, so we felt well informed and supported throughout the process. He also gave great tips on the current state of the market that were really helpful, he's clearly well-informed. Brennen is very friendly but not at all pushy - we never once felt rushed. He gave us helpful advice about the different neighbourhoods we were considering and drove us to each one. He was careful with sanitising, wearing a mask and distancing. Working with Brennen was a fantastic experience, I will be returning to the Clouse Group when it's time to sell!

Review for Member: Brennen Clouse
ZillowVERIFIED We can't recommend Brennen highly enough. From the moment we met him at a first-time homebuyers' class, we've enjoyed him as a person. He's taught us so much about the home-buying process, as well as specifics on the neighborhood where we were hoping to (and did) buy a home. The cherry on top was Brennen's sharp sense of what would make an offer competitive and ability to negotiate with the listing agent on our behalf.

Review for Member: Brennen Clouse
ZillowVERIFIED Brennen is a true professional. We moved from Seattle to Kirkland by first buying a home in Kirkland and then selling our home in Seattle. It was a short timeline and Brennen helped us get the house we wanted and sell our house. Brennens expertise in packaging a solid offer allowed us to get the home we wanted. He walked us through several options, explained the different strategies and offered his recommendation. There was no pressure on his end as he wanted us to feel comfortable with the decision. It was close and the little things we put into the offer helped us beat multiple offers. Brennens knowledge of the market and creativity helped us sell our house within 2 weeks at the price we wanted. What makes it more impressive was that we listed the home a week after the Governor issued the stay home order. We initially had a strategy in place, but when open houses were no longer allowed, Brennen quickly pivoted us to a different strategy. This changed our listing price and how we would market the home. While we were worried that the pandemic would impact our already tight timeline to sell, Brennen took control and delivered. We highly recommend Brennen. He knows the market, is constantly communicating with you and is very responsive. He goes above and beyond! While we had some bumps in the road along the way (through no fault of his own), he easily navigated us through them.

ZillowVERIFIED We met Brennen during a down payment assistance class that he taught. It was clear from the start that Brennen could educate us about the home buying process and be sure to help us find and buy a great home. We couldn't be more happy with our great Central District home and we feel that Brennen did an outstanding job managing the details and making sure we were well-represented throughout the process. We would highly recommend Brennen to anyone buying or selling in Seattle!

Review for Member: Brennen Clouse
ZillowVERIFIED After having listed our home with another agent, we came home from a vacation to find a card from Brennen in the mailbox. Since we were relocating to Europe, we needed a really good agent to manage the sale. We were never in doubt about who to choose.The detailed plan he presented to us with staging and inspection, made us certain that Brennen was the person that would be able to complete the sale. We took off and handed over the keys to Brennen, who seamlessly managed all the listing preparation, all while keeping us constantly up to date with the progress. The home was on the market for 57 days, where Brennen managed 68 private showings and obtained 3 offers in 40 days. The marketing plan really worked brilliantly, so we would highly recommend Brennen to anyone thinking of selling in Seattle.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Brennen to sell my home was a great experience. From the first time we met he demonstrated his understanding of the local market and the process to get my home sold. And that's what happened - we received six offers in just seven days and sold the home for $200,000 over the list price. Brennen was able to generate over 4,400 online views of the home through marketing, social media, and email. I was very happy with the results Brennen provided and I would recommend him to anyone in Seattle that is selling a home!

ZillowVERIFIED Brennen is an exceptional real estate agent! Our family had to relocate to Seattle from San Diego due to a job change and it came during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Moving to a new state and area we werent familiar with was already challenging, but even more so with the quarantine and travel restrictions. Brennen made the whole experience comfortable and went above and beyond to help us with the purchase and transition to our new home. He helped us make a competitive offer in a demanding market, did video walk-throughs for us when we couldnt be there in person, and answered all our questions. He was super personable and very professional. We would recommend Brennen to any prospective buyers and sellers with the highest confidence!

ZillowVERIFIED Having bought and sold 9 houses, working with Brennen was the best experience we've had with any real estate agent. We weren't able to sell our home when it was previously listed with different agent, but when we hired Brennen we were able to get over 100 private showings and over 70 groups of buyers through our open houses. That resulted in multiple offers and an accepted offer that was 16% over the list price. Brennen's guidance and marketing efforts went above and beyond and we would recommend him to anyone thinking of selling in Seattle!

On top of that, Brennen has great resources to go to when you need help with home improvement. I'm thankful to know a contractor through Brennen that has tremendously helped us out with renovating the house.
