ZillowVERIFIEDWe couldn't have asked for a better real estate agent. From start to finish, she made the entire process feel easy and manageable. As newer clients to real estate, we really appreciated how hands-on and involved she was every step of the way. Her advice was thoughtful and informed, helping us feel confident in our decisions. She also did a fantastic job marketing our home and keeping strong and clear communication with both us and potential buyers. It truly felt like she was in our corner the entire time, guiding and supporting us. We're so grateful for her expertise and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a smooth and stress-free experience.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian and his team were awesome to work with. He recommended a contractor for the remodel which was completed in a timely manner. The sale of the house went smooth and we closed one week early. I would recommend him and his team to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian and his team were a perfect choice for the sale of our condo. Communication was great and expectations met. He has a tremendous knowledge of the area, market conditions and real estate in general. He helped us determine what steps should be taken before listing and, more importantly, helped us achieve them. His team was also great. They helped us put all the pieces together. I don't feel we could have made a better choice than Brian Alfi. Thank you!

ZillowVERIFIEDaEURoeBrian is amazing and works hard for you - I recommend him without hesitation to anyone selling their home. In a changing market, he was able to provide accurate insight, and provided lots of objective information to help us make our listing decisions. Once we listed, everything went almost exactly as predicted. He and his team were always in communication, always positive, and always ready to help in any way they could. 10/10 - best selling experience!aEUR?

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian helped us buy a new house and sell our old house. In both cases Brian and his team took great care of us. They kept the process flowing smoothly,educated us so we could make good decisions and negotiated 2 great deals for us. Brian is easy going and friendly.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhere do I beginaEUR|I cant say enough about the great heart, caring, knowledge, and moral character of Brian Alfi. Dont bother trying to find a different agent-he is the best. Instead of being too busy like most realtors, he hires a team so there is always someone to help. The support I received while selling my home was outstanding. He is just such a good person! He is not like a lot of realtors who dont care. He has a great business model in place to optimize sales. I never felt alone. Highly, highly recommend.

ZillowVERIFIEDI worked with Team Alfi, mostly with Douglas Rummell, to buy my home in Burien. We probably saw over 30 houses between June and July 2022. Douglas understood my needs and I never felt pressured to make an offer on a house that didn't check all the boxes. Communication with the entire team was superb. We closed in three weeks time. Negotiations with the selling party were spot-on. Plus, the team's recommendations on my lender and contractors after I bought have been great. I definitely recommend Team Alfi for buying and selling in the Seattle area.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian was on top of the sale of our house from day 1. He walked us through the whole process and explained what he would do to sell our house. Brian had it on market within 3 weeks of our meeting and it sold within 48 hours once it was online. The whole process was easy and smooth.

ZillowVERIFIEDPurchasing a house in the current market can be incredibly daunting and stressful, especially as first-time home buyers, but Mike and Brian made the experience as easy and pain-free as possible from start to finish. Being new to the process, they helped us narrow down our preferences in a house by arranging a wide variety of showings, and educated us on home-buying steps and offer strategies. We learned so much just by working with them. Most importantly, Mike and Brian were very communicative with us, checking in regularly and keeping us apprised of pending offers. They were also very proactive with listing agents, frequently following up to ensure our interests were kept top of mind. As a result, they negotiated an amazing deal (we bought our house at list price). Mike and Brian did an incredible job in coaching us on our first home purchase, and we would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.

ZillowVERIFIEDEasiest sales experience ever. Great team that made the process enjoyable. Doug, Brian and team , coordinated everything. That included a remodel (design and work), staging, pre-inspection, and all closing items. It was as simple of turning my keys over to them and the rest was elegantly coordinated. I would strongly recommend them to anyone selling in downtown Seattle!

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian and his team (I worked with Leah & Kevin) are absolutely incredible! They are knowledgeable, responsive and go above and beyond for their clients. We were transitioning my parents out of our family home and during the process of getting ready to list, my mother passed away. Brian and his team were so kind, helpful, and made sure the process was as smooth as possible during a very emotional and stressful time. We leaned on them for guidance and gave them 100% trust and it paid off big time! We will continue to work with Brian and his team for all our real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian and Maddy were an awesome team to work with for buying our first home. My fiance and I threw a lot of homes at all times of the day and they always made time for us to get in to see these homes. Communication was seamless and very efficient, we were even able to keep our home search going while we went on vacation. When it came down to actually writing offers, Brian and Maddy were extremely knowledgeable and strategic. They were able to work within our financial budget to make the most appealing offers we could without comprising security (i.e. without removing safety nets like inspection clauses). The entire process went relatively smoothly all we had to do was look at homes and drop our signatures, Maddy and Brian took care of the rest, I would highly recommend them going forward.

ZillowVERIFIEDHands-down the best real estate team we could have asked for not only did they rigorously for over a year work to help us find the perfect home but were completely understanding with all of our needs. Couldnt tell you how many times Brian actually use his own knowledge to ensure that we didnt purchase a home that would be a money pit. When it comes to work ethic I have never seen a team work harder and more hours than these guys ensure that everything was taken care of and all questions had been answered. Brian will fight for you every step of the way to ensure you get the best deal. As first time buyers he made this so easy.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian is super smart and an expert at what he does. But what sets him apart, in my opinion, is how kind and considerate he is. He always leveled with us and gave us great advice. He both helped us buy a home and sell a home so we really got a chance to get to know him. So glad we did. Both the sale and the purchase went perfectly. I highly recommend him!

ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Brian was the best decision we could have made to sell our home! We switched agents after meeting with him - we were so impressed with the time he took to explain the process to us and his respect for our priorities. He strikes a great balance of being very professional and knowledgeable, and also friendly and approachable. It was a joy to work with him. Through every step of the listing and selling process, Brian and his team were available to answer our questions and provide useful insight. We credit him 100% for the successful sale of our home. I'd recommend him to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe could not have been more impressed with Brian Alfi and his team. When we decided to sell our house, we sought out Brian thinking he would have the same work ethic he had, when he coached our boys in H.S. wrestling. As coach of the year for WA state, he knows how to win. He did not disappoint us. He does treat you like you are his only customer, is very responsive, and very thorough as he helps you navigate the complexities of the real estate world. We plan to use Brian again in our next transaction.

Review for Member: Brian Alfi
ZillowVERIFIEDThis review is overdue. I first worked with Brian in 2018 to buy my condo in Magnolia. It was my first home buying experience and I probably asked Brian no less than 1M questions. He took me to see quite a few properties to understand what I was looking for, and ultimately helped me close on my 1B/1B condo in Magnolia. We loved living there, but once I started working from home full time, my fiance and I needed more space. I, once again, called Brian for help, but this time we were looking for a house. In 2021, in the heat of the greater Seattle market being at its all-time most competitive, Brian helped us close on our dream home in Lake Stevens with his swift negotiations and ability to change gears based on competing offers. Once we were pending on our house in Lake Stevens, Brian and team worked closely with us to get our Magnolia condo ready to sell. Our condo sold within 5 days at higher than list price. I'd recommend Brian to anyone who is looking to buy or sell. He and team are rockstars.

ZillowVERIFIEDRuns a very knowledgeable and efficient team. We are FHA buyers, so very green when it comes to this whole home buying process. Brian was able to sit us down and explain everything from contingencies and what we should avoid and look for in houses, very easily. He matched us with someone on his team and they worked really well with us. Very communicative and flexible. Especially with the Washington housing market, they were able to get us in a house on our second offer, only 10k over and with inspection! Would strongly recommend to any first or experienced buyers!

ZillowVERIFIEDA common saying in the REI world is 5% of the agents make up for 95% of the business. Brian is in that 5%. If you are an investor or residential home buyer, this is your agent. You neednt look any further. Brian is a seasoned vet, well versed in all the ins and outs of the REI language, and can get creative when needed to maximize the benefits of your deal. My partner and I shifted markets with Brian from Bremerton to Marysville and found a cash flowing property that fit our criteria that he made us stick to throughout the whole process. Hes not an agent that will hold your hand but rather show you how to problem solve and become a great investor. All the things you would want in this experience he has, patience, knowledge, skill, experience and willingness to educate. He will be our agent for all investment properties for years to come.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian is a truly phenomenal real estate agent. We originally found him through Zillow and spent seven months patiently looking for our first home. From our very first meeting he helped us gain a deep understanding of the value of homes in our target neighborhoods and taught us what to look for when evaluating a home's routine maintenance and upgrade needs. He always looked to us to say whether we'd like to move forward with an offer, which was a welcome change from other agents that felt pushy or self-interested. When we finally found a house we loved Brian moved at lightning speed and went to bat for us to get the best possible terms for us. We absolutely love the house he helped us buy. Brian is personable, funny, patient, and extremely knowledgeable about the markets we searched in (Edmonds, WA and other North Sound areas). He and his team (Leah Lee is amazing) will always have our trust, confidence, and business. If you're looking for an incredible agent and partner in your home search, look no further than Brian.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian and his team are the best you can find... extremely pro-active, energetic, and effective. Everything is a "can do," very positive attitude - Brian took care of things we hadn't thought of yet, and was very generous in assuming responsibility for items that sped things along. He'll make selling your house as stressless as it can be... We only wish we were buying another place in the Seattle area, but we moved down to San Diego!

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian was amazing to work with! He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about real estate. We are so grateful for his help buying our first home. In the beginning of our search, Brian gave us an overview of the home-buying process so that we were already prepared when it came time to put in an offer. He focused on understanding our needs so that he could tailor our home search and provide useful guidance. When we looked at homes together, he made sure that there were takeaways from every house we visited, even when the house was not the right fit for us. Brian was approachable and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. We loved working with him and highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home!

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian helped me and my wife find our first investment property. We had some high expectations, and not the greatest budget. Brian and his team guided us through the whole process, from securing financing, finding a property, inspection, and closing the sale. Along the way Brian was patient answering all our questions, and bringing up questions that we should have been asking. He even found an error in the sellers paper work that would have cost us 2K. In the end we met our goals, and found something within our budget. One year later we still feel great about the whole process, and would definitely choose to use Brian again.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian lives & was raised in the north Seattle, Edmonds Lynnwood area. We had lost hope of ever being ready to sell when Brian came on the scene. He pulled out all the stops and we listed our house in no time for more than we imagined and it sold for 15K above list within a week. He did a great job with multiple forms of advertising (including social media), presentation, staging, counsel and negotiating. He's a man of experience and action.

Review for Member: Brian Alfi
ZillowVERIFIEDI first used Brian when we bought our lake house. He helped us negotiate a very strong offer, and overcome numerous obstacles and competitors on the way to our successful purchase. That was 3 years ago. Since then we've used Brian on 7 Multi-Family (MF) deals. His knowledge of the market, the intricacies of negotiating deals and protecting your interests, proper terms and offers is unsurpassed. We've had deals with up to 11 bidders and been successful without having the highest offer. We are protected w/ terms at every step, and able to win those properties of most interest to us. So many times we've been up against other buyers with their less experienced agents and they just never stand a chance. Many a time we've had deals locked up before the "Official" review date or Open House. Brian doesn't wait for things to happen, he makes things happen and that's the kind on initiative needed to succeed. Brian is not only an expert on negotiating for your primary residence, I consider him to be an expert on MF deals and highly recommend him for your team.

ZillowVERIFIEDAs a general contractor for the last 10 years, I have have encountered many real estate agents and can say unequivocally that Brian Alfi is the best i have ever worked with and continue to work with him on a regular basis today. When it came time for me to sell my own house, I didnt hesitate or even look for anyone else. He was honest and more importantly realistic about pricing and what should be done to the house and property to encourage buyers. There were several items that seemed daunting and expensive, especially given my construction background but I followed his advice and it paid off. Brian laid out a very concise plan and by following his guidelines, the house sold for the exact amount he said would sell if I did the work, first weekend of open house with a full offer!!! I have calculated that we made $75k more than if we had sold as is. The selling agent made things a little complicated but Brian intervened and solved all problems to ensure all parties were satisfied. I cant speak more highly of someone that handles one of the biggest investments of one's life with the utmost professionalism, respect and most importantly HONESTY!

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian is a top-notch agent and I was extremely pleased with how he helped me find the right house. He has a well-refined process, knows the area / trends and has a true agency ethic. From the beginning, Brian told me what to expect and how his process will work to help me know when Ive found the right house. I was never left guessing what would happen next or felt like any part of the process was out of control. He was good at describing what was happening at any given time and what the likely outcomes would be. Brian has great knowledge of the local neighborhoods. For most houses we viewed, he was able to share a few details about the area and the likely future impact of regional planning decisionsaEUR" ensuring factors beyond the house were considered in my decision and that the area itself fit my lifestyle. Lastly, Brian was a very good agent in the literal sense of the word. He successfully negotiated on my behalf, warned me about potential headaches, caught errors in the contract, etc. He was responsive at all hours and picked up the phone and called me any time I texted him but the response was more nuanced than a simple text reply. He worked hard, didnt waste my time and quickly found a groove for how to work with my personality and schedule. I was very happy with the job Brian did for me as my agent. He is a professional of a caliber one doesnt come across often, and he has my highest recommendation.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian really knows how to find what you are looking for as he listens very carefully on what your needs are. His negotiation skill was top notch.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian was absolutely amazing to work with throughout the process of me buying my first home. He is extremely knowledgeable and even with four offers on the table they took ours which was the lowest. He took me through the whole process showing me multiple homes making sure i see what is out there. Through the process i found the house that was perfect for me and couldn't be happier. He responds quickly and explains everything in extreme detail. I HIGHLY recommend using Brian when searching from a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDAs a home seller or a home buyer, you have a LOT of agents to choose from. Take your time and read reviews. Read THIS review especially. Brian came recommended to us by another friend who raved about him and what he did for their family and home. We recently needed to sell our home in Shoreline due to relocation and worked with Brian and his team. They were nothing short of exceptional. Brian really goes the extra mile and it paid off tremendously, for all of us. We preformed some pre-planning, by visiting other homes that were comparable for sale so we knew where to price ours. We worked together on staging and cleaning. We called out special features and noteworthy items in the home. He ran Facebook ads and generated some buzz. When multiple offers came in he negotiated skillfully and was able to get us up over our asking price. We couldn't have been more thrilled. To top it off, we stayed in contact every step of the way. Selling your home is a big deal and you want to make sure you're working with the right person who knows what they're doing and who is really looking out for you best interests. I'd go w/ Brian any time. I wished I could have brought him to be my buying agent in NJ where we relocated. Go with Brian, you'll be glad you did.

Review for Member: Brian Alfi
ZillowVERIFIEDBrian served as our agent both for purchasing our house and later selling our condo. He was extremely patient and we never felt the least bit rushed when looking for properties. When we finally settled on as house, he went the extra mile and made every effort to help us - ultimately helping us to get a bid accepted that was slightly lower than a competing offer. Brian was certainly instrumental in making that happen. When it came time to sell our condo he was just as diligent. His assessment of our property value was nearly perfect as well - while the condo did not fly off the first weekend, it did shortly thereafter and we believe a lot had to do with his recommendation on pricing (and not under pricing the place). If you want someone who will hustle and go the extra mile for you, seemingly being available night and day, you can't go wrong with Brian.

ZillowVERIFIEDI had an amazing experience with Brian! I was searching for a very specific type of home that took much longer than I anticipated. But Brian was very patient and never pushed us to make a bad decision, always encouraging us to find our dream home before we proceeded. In the end, I got my dream Lakehouse and a good friend out of the deal. I would highly recommend Brian to anybody who wants a realtor that will find you a home that fits all of your needs!

ZillowVERIFIEDAfter searching for a home for over a year and having multiple opportunities slip through our fingers, our banker recommended Brian to us and within a couple of months he negotiated the perfect home for us. Brian's negotiation skills are top-notch and competitive. He avidly advocates for his clients and knows how to win when faced with a bidding war. I highly recommend him. He is proactive, personable, and responsive. He will never leave you hanging and doesn't farm out showings to others. For personal service and great communication, you can't do better than Brian Alfi! Addendum: Not only is Brian a top-notch buyer's agent. My recent experience with him as a seller's agent was equally satisfying. With Brian at the helm, our home sold for a record price for the HOA neighborhood in which it was located, and it sold in one week! Having worked with Brian in both the buying and the selling process, he has more than earned my highest recommendation. His expertise, responsiveness, and negotiating skills are exemplary.

He worked hard to show us many options within our budget and preferred neighborhoods, getting us access to homes we found on our own and several homes he found for us after getting to know our priorities. In the end, he helped us secure our favorite home and negotiated for closing costs to be covered by the seller, just like we asked, which is tough to do in the competitive Seattle market. From our first inquiry to move-in day, Brian was there for us anytime we needed with exceptional knowledge, and he made the process painless on our part. We cant recommend Brian enough!

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian was amazing to work with! The whole home buying experience couldnt have gone any better. Sure there were bumps along the way, buying a home is a huge purchase! But no matter what curve ball was thrown at Brian he hit it out of the park every time, from helping us put together a winning offer even though we werent the highest bidder, to negotiating terms and even working seamlessly with our mortgage broker when we switched last minute! We are so thankful for Brian, we honestly wouldnt have gotten our home without him. We recommend him to everyone we know looking to buy a new home and hope youll consider him as well. Hes a master negotiator and is 100% in it to win it, thanks so much Brian!!
