Kirkland, WA
I truly cannot recommend Fay highly enough! From the beginning of my home search all the way through closing, she was absolutely exceptional. Her expertise, professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail were truly top-notch. What impressed me most was how genuinely invested Fay was in finding the right home for me. She always looked out for my best interests, guided me confidently through every step, and consistently went above and beyond. Her market knowledge, negotiation skills, and dedication made the entire process so much smoother. Now that Ive officially closed on my home, I can confidently say that choosing Fay was one of the best decisions I made. She exceeded every expectation, and I honestly could not have asked for a better realtor. An absolute 10/10 experience!
We had a fantastic experience working with Fay to sell our home. She was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. Fay provided great advice on pricing and presentation, and her attention to detail really helped our home stand out on the market. She kept us informed every step of the way and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Thanks to her expertise, our home sold quickly and at a great price. We highly recommend Fay to anyone looking to sell their home!
We had a fantastic experience working with Fay Besharat and Jessica Dunn to sell our single-family home in Kirkland this past winter. Even though its a challenging time of year to sell, Fay helped us align on a thoughtful strategy that worked beautifullyaEUR"we had our home sold within three weeks at a price we were very happy with. One thing that really stood out was Fays initiative with Zillow Showcase, which was brand new to our area at the time. She went above and beyond to make our home the very first Showcase listing in our zip code, advocating for us with Zillow and navigating their specific requirements. Throughout the process, she kept us fully informed about her conversations and meetings with their team and clearly explained how the effort would help maximize the visibility of our home. Before, during, and after the listing process, Fay and her team connected us with excellent specialists to help get the house in top shape for showings and the sale. Just as importantly, she helped us prioritize the improvements that would actually add value, keeping us from spending time and money on things that wouldnt have made a difference. Because we were already relocating out of state while selling the house, Fay stepped in to handle many details on our behalf. Her responsiveness, organization, and willingness to help with logistics made what could have been a very stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. Were incredibly grateful for Fay and Jessicas expertise, advocacy, and care throughout the process, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Fay was amazing. We put our house on the market as sales were slowing and Fay gave us wonderful advice and helped us develop a plan to meet our goal of selling the house in 2025. Fay had relationships with anyone we needed to do work on the house and both Fay and all of the people she recommended were prompt and did amazing work. Fay strikes the right balance between motivating you to complete the work needed to sell and understanding the effort it takes to prepare your house after living there for 29 years. Fay is a delight to work with and highly recommended.
I'm very happy to write review for Fay and her team. Working with Fay was an exceptional experience from start to finish. She is highly knowledgeable about the market and guided us with clarity at every step. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We always felt supported, and they consistently went above and beyond to meet our needs. I would highly recommend Fay to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Fay was our agent for the sale of our residence in Kirkland. We sought Fay out as we knew she had deep knowledge of the Kirkland market with long standing connections. Fay was very communicative about timelines and any adjustments along the way. Her guidance was invaluable on how best to prepare the property to achieve the price point we were seeking, focusing on areas that made the biggest impact, then connecting us to the right people to execute. Fays understanding of the market and what buyers are seeking, was pivotal in ensuring the offer we received was one we were very happy with. Time on market was less than one week. Highly recommend Fay to anyone considering selling their home in Kirkland.
Weve known Fay Besharat for 34 years! She was the real estate agent we used when purchasing our home in Bridle Trails and she was the agent we used 33 years later when we sold this same home. Why? Fay is so well connected in the community. Her marketing skills are the BEST and she goes out of her way to keep you informed. When we were out of state during the open house, Fay tried to call me several times. When she couldnt get me, she started calling my husband. She wanted to let us know that she thought she had a buyer after 1 day on the market. In this challenging economical climateaEUR|aEUR|thats HUGE!!! We highly recommend her and her team!
Fay made our home-buying journey smooth and enjoyable. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly listened to what we wanted. Thanks to her guidance and negotiation skills, we found the perfect home at a great price. Also, Fay is more than an agent. She helped us with good connection to help us with the house works. Highly recommend!
FayA has a great attitude. She was with me through every step of the process. She gave me her honest feedback, and did not pressure me to do anything, in fact she would advise to avoid some properties that we visited and to keep looking for something more aligned with my needs and that would appreciate with time. I highly recommendA Fay, she is a pleasure to work with, she knows what she's doing and will do everything she can to make your experience as smooth as possible.A
We had an amazing experience working with Fay as our realtor. She is incredibly proactive, punctual, and dedicated. Fay went above and beyond, actively searching for properties and showing us so many great options. We started our home search in March 2023, and within just two weeks, Fay had shown us numerous places. Due to personal uncertainties, we decided to pause our search, and Fay was extremely understanding during that time. When we reconnected with her in November, Fay immediately picked up where we left off and, within just two weeks, helped us find our dream home. She even negotiated the price down, saving us a significant amount. Fays commitment didnt end thereaEUR"she handled all the follow-ups for our closing while we were away on vacation in December. Additionally, Fay connected us with excellent contractors to help with some fixes we wanted for the property. She is fast, honest, accurate, and truly cares about her clients. If youre looking for someone who will work tirelessly to help you find your perfect home, we highly recommend Fay!
If you want customized and expert Realator services then Fay is your agent! Our family recently moved to Seattle and we were on a time clock to find the aEURoeRightaEUR? home and I guarantee you we would not be able to find the right place without Fay. She is really professional and really helpful in all aspects of home finding process and negotiations. We were lost at times but Fay took extra care to explain and support us along the way. Fay goes aEURoeabove and beyondaEUR? of what you anticipate and in the process for us we not only found a good agent but a very good friend. Fay proactively followed up on all fronts until the deal was made and her local knowledge and market expertise were really helpful for our family needs. Thank you Fay for finding us our new home and appreciate all the support you have given us on the way. Ray/Mary
I was able to get my dream condo thanks to Fay and Jessica. Fay helped me get a second appraisal when my first one didnt pan out, she also got me in-touch with an excellent Finance Bank that allowed me to close on my purchase when I wanted to. She made the process pain-free and I cant express enough gratitude for the amount of help that was provided during the condo purchase. I cant wait to move-in and I hope to work with her in the future for any future purchases or real estate endeavors. Thank you so much, Fay!
Buying our condo with Fay's help was truly exceptional. From start to finish, she assisted us in every step, including house search, inspections, negotiations, and final closing. Notably, she alerted us to potential issues in houses, which was invaluable for first-time buyers like us. Additionally, her consistent availability and prompt responses to all our questions and concerns were highly commendable.
Fay did a great job helping us finding a condo. I highly recommend her as she has valuable experience. She knows the market and helps the buyer/seller avoiding mistakes. She negotiated on our behalf and really helped us. She is also highly responsive and respectful in communications (usually responds really fast within a few minutes even after hours or early in the morning)
Five Stars for Fay Besharat! I recently partnered with Fay to find my new home in Redmond, WA. As a first-time homebuyer, I was feeling overwhelmed by the process. Luckily, Fay was there to guide me every step of the way. Her knowledge of the local market was great. She was able to pinpoint neighborhoods that fit my needs and budget, while also understanding the kind of lifestyle I was looking for. Fay patiently answered all my questions. Throughout the entire process, Fay and her team were incredibly responsive and communicative. They kept me updated on developments, explained complex paperwork in easy-to-understand terms, and always made themselves available to address my concerns. Thanks to Fay's expertise and dedication, I found a great house and closed on the deal smoothly. I can't recommend her enough! If you're looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring real estate agent, look no further than Fay.
We worked with Fay on our recent home purchase. Fay is very prompt - always available on text/phone and email. She's been in real estate in Seattle area for 25+ years, and she knows everything about the process, from title issues to zoning to schools. Since she's worked in this area for long, she knows many of the listing agents. Her personal relationships with agents helped us find the right home at the right price, even before it hit the market. Finally, Fay truly provides "full service" - she opened up her network of contractors, gardeners, interior designers etc. as we are moving into the new home. We are thankful to Fay for helping us buy our home, and we strongly recommend her to anyone else who's considering buying.
Working with Fay Besharat was an absolute pleasure. Her expertise and dedication made the home-buying process smooth and stress-free. She was attentive to my needs, responsive to my questions, and negotiated a great deal for me. I'm thrilled with my new home, and I owe it all to her exceptional service. I highly recommend Fay to anyone in search of a reliable and knowledgeable realtor.
I had a fantastic experience with Fay and her staff. She is highly knowledgeable about the eastside areas and was able to get me a great deal on a beautiful home. She understood my needs and concerns and highlighted all the key points through the process. She was thorough in the negotiations and helped with closing and moving things along. Fay is a great communicator and went above and beyond to intervene when things were slowing down with the lender. Thanks to Fay I have an amazing home that closed on time. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to buy a home in the greater seattle area.
Fay did an outstanding job finding a property which fits the budget in a great location. She is very knowledgeable about the area and has extensive expertise in the real-estate field. I highly recommend Fay to anyone who is looking for a property around Seattle area.
Fay did an excellent job in selling my home in Kirkland, WA. She managed to list it on 4/21/23, did an open house the next day and got me two offers. On the third day I accepted the second offer which was above asking price. The contract closed in less than a month thereafter. She was great in keeping me in the loop with all aspects of listing and closing. She did an excellent stagging for the house. I recommend her services any time. She held up to her promise of getting me an offer within one week of listing. She met that and with an offer above the asking price. Thank You Fay.
Fay is very knowledgeable and devoted. As a first time home buyer, I had plenty of questions and concerns and she patiently and kindly guided me through each step. Thanks to her, I ended up finding a great deal on a townhouse. It is a delight to work with her and her team and I highly recommend her.
Working with Fay and her team was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! She is a true professional with a deep understanding of the real estate market, and her knowledge and expertise were incredibly valuable as we navigated the buying process. Fay was patient, attentive, and always available to answer our questions and address any concerns we had. Her persistence and communication skills are exceptional, and she consistently went above and beyond to ensure that our needs were met. Thanks to Fay's guidance and support, we found the perfect home and couldn't be happier with our purchase. We would highly recommend Fay to anyone looking to buy or sell a home - she is simply the best!
Fay has been a huge help in my home purchase process. She is warm, kind, extremely responsive and has gone out of her way to help me buy my home while still living in another state, which is complicated. She has lots of experience, great local knowledge and contacts and really does go above and beyond. Thank you so much, Fay!
We have been working with Fay for over 6 years and she just helped us sell a rental property. Fay is very personable, very knowledgeable, and works tirelessly to ensure a smooth and seamless process. We would highly recommend her as an agent.
Fay has represented us many times on both sides of transactions. The Kirkland and neighboring communities are niche markets. She lives here and knows the market. It is very fluid. You would be wise to take advantage of her experience
Fay and Brittany are super nice and professional team to work with. Fay knowledge of Kirkland, Redmond and Bellevue is very valuable for any buyer. We worked with Fay from March 2021 to May 2022 to buy a property that fits our requirements. Both of them were very patient with us as we were learning all neighborhoods and not willing to over bid in the crazy market. At the end, Fay helped us to find an off the market property that fits all our requirements. Fay and Brittany are super responsive and helped us through the process with every possible question or concern we had. I strongly recommend team Besharat to anyone who wants to buy or sell property in Seattle area. Fay also knows most of real estate agents which helped us to navigate a seller market condition as a buyer.
Fay is a very professional and knowledgeable realtor. She knows the market very well and gets the deal done. She has a great team around her which makes the process smooth. She is also very accessible and available any day any time through her phone, which makes communication easier. Highly recommend her.
We have bought and sold homes with Fay over the past 18 years, most recently selling our home that she helped us purchase. Fay has an extensive network, negotiating skills and matches the seller with buyers to get the best outcome for both. Fay and her team are top-notch, guiding you through the selling process with attention to every detail. Fay provided us with resources to prepare the house for sale including staging. She is fantastic at what she does! Her knowledge of Kirkland and West of Market is unmatched. We can't recommend Fay and her team enough!
We were first time home buyers and could not have asked for a better realtor. With Fays incredible network and negotiating skills we were able to purchase the first home we put an offer on. In this market that is almost unheard of. She held our hands through the searching, offer, financing and closing process. Not only is she fantastic at what she does, she has an incredible network of lenders, inspectors that were wonderful to work with. We can't recommend Fay and her team enough!
Some players are so good that they change the rules of the game. Well... Fay was such an agent for us. Fay is the third real estate agent that we've ever worked with. Before her we had minimal expectations from an agent: - To be flexible to show us homes according to our tight schedule - To tell us goods as well as bads about the house - And, to be trustworthy. Well... Fay changed our mind. Don't settle for a "just decent" agent if you want a chance in this crazy market. Here is our updated list after working with Fay. I'm not saying work with her only, but if someone is reading this comment, this is our honest opinion about what you should expect from an agent and our rating for Fay in each. The list is more or less in the order of importance for us: - Having a large network of past customers: we ended up buying our house off market. This is a huge opportunity that only few agents are able to provide. For this the agent needs to know the neighborhood very well and have a large network of past costumers and other agents to know who might want to sell their property before they officially put a listing. Fay is 10/10 with respect to this. - Knowing other agents (knowing them well, not just have heard the name!): obviously this is a big benefit when you put an offer. To get some insight from what's going on in the seller's mind and to be able to negotiate. Offering the highest price does not always win you a competition. We put three offers with Fay, for the two ones that we lost we knew exactly why we might lose before we heard back from the seller. This insight was something that only Fay provided to us not the previous agents that we worked with. Fay is more than 10/10 on this! - Being proactive in doing research on the house: Fay would not wait for us to see the house and show interest to start researching. You know for some houses you only have few hours to put an offer! From the moment we saw a listing she would first take an appointment for the visit and then start the research. She always had already talked with the seller agent more than once even before we visited the house. This is what sets you aside from other offers. Again 10/10. - Negotiation skills: Our road to buying a house was a very bumpy one. I don't want to get into details but it would be impossible if it wasn't for Fay's multiple sessions of negotiation with the seller. - Being %100 in your team: I just can say that Fay had much more stress than us to get this done, always she was pushing us not the other way around. She put a lot of time and energy for us. - To point out goods as well as bads about the property: Fay has tons of experience buying and selling houses and has lived and worked in the Kirkland neighborhood for a long time, but she wasn't the best in pointing out the small details in the house that might bug you after you buy it. This is the only flaw I can say about Fay. I'm not talking about major issues, but small ones, that probably won't really matter in our decision in putting an offer. But you still like to know them. We had seen so much homes that we would automatically point out most of the issues by ourselves anyway. I give her a 7/10 on this domain. - Being flexible: we didn't work with Fay for too long, but we were able to visit homes at any time that we wanted. She or her assistant would visit the place before us and FaceTime us in to save our time if the place had something obviously wrong. She would be 5mins late for most appointments though! So, 9.5/10 only for this reason. We are really happy about our decision to work with Fay. Fay has become a good friend to us during this process, but more than that she has something that set her apart from other agents, that she will get the job done.
Fay is the best real estate agent in the Seattle area that we have seen. She is knowledgeable and highly responsive. Without her help, we would not be able to purchase our house at all. She helped us through the entire process, which is great especially for first-time buyers like us. She provides honest insights regarding each house we visited, which greatly helped us to make the right decision. She cares about her clients more as a friend than an agent.
My husband and I are SO happy we were able to work with Fay and her team! Fay came highly recommended and now we know why. In this market, you need a realtor like Fay. She moves fast, is agile, strategic, a great communicator, and so knowledgeable. She is simply incredible at what she does. She is in a league of her own :) Thanks to Fay we were able to find our first home and we know we couldn't of got there without her and her team. We couldn't be any happier!
Fay and Brittany are incredible! I've worked with them on two purchases, both in seller's markets where multiple bids and tight timelines were the norm. They are incredibly responsive, they move fast and respond right away, and they have excellent knowledge of how to prepare a compelling offer. I would work with them again in a heartbeat!
Fay treats the transaction as if it was her own. This is extremely rare. This review covers, 2 homes I purchased and 1 I sold. Fay and team did a great job selling my home in Seattle that closed yesterday. They helped sell it for almost 50% more then my purchase price(minus a seller refund) just 2 years ago. Let that sink in..... 2 months ago Fay helped me buy a waterfront house for only 2.8% more (not a typo) then listing price. Let that low number sink in. There continues to be almost no waterfront inventory on Lake WA or Lake Sammamish. This is an astonishing achievement. This kind of property is a dream come true for me. Yes Fay helped my dream come true. Fay knew the agent! She knows a lot of agents. Fay is what you need in this market to win. 2 years ago Fay helped me buy a home and she went above and beyond to keep a deal together. That is the house I sold for 50% more yesterday. I have bought and sold about 10 properties. I rarely write reviews. I 1000% recommend Fay and avoiding the company with red yard signs. I will be using her again, if I ever move, which I might not. :D
Fay was instrumental in us getting a house, especially in this crazy market. Fay and her team were always available to answer our questions, no matter how late in the evening, always got the answers we wanted. They provided our winning offer only in a few hours late in the evening as the seller was going to accept another offer. Fay was supportive of u all the way through closing. She went out of her way to make the process as smooth as possible. Thanks Fay!
I would recommend Fay and Brittany at Market Place Sothebys international Realty! This was my first time buying a house and I felt the agent knew her business. Fay came to the initial conversation with very helpful information and explained her process in a way that definitely showed her expertise in real estate. Super responsive as if you are her only client! Friendly and professional. Fay is so patient in listening to your liking and criteria for purchasing your ideal house. She describes the whole process ahead of time and has a very good established connection with other parties involves in this process that all these will make the home purchasing a desirable journey for you. I honesty highly recommend her especially at the Seattle area market that it needs to have a strategy for buying the good property. Thanks, team, for helping me to buy my townhouse.
Fay was instrumental in us getting a house, especially in this crazy market. She is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, professional and helped us feel at ease every step of the way. I cannot recommend working with Fay enough, she helped find us our dream house and got the deal closed. Truly appreciate all of her hard work and will continue to recommend her to everyone.
Simply stated, you cannot find a more experienced, professional, caring and responsive realtor than Fay and her team. Fay and her team, to include Brittany, were amazing. They helped us sell our current home, to include determining exactly when to sell our home in order to maximize profit, helped us find and purchase a new home, and helped us maneuver the logistics of it all without a glitch. Throughout the process, Fay and her team were always available to answer questions, no matter how late in the evening, always had the perfect answer, knew exactly which offers to take seriously and which ones to ignore, guided us through all the complex paperwork with ease, and allowed us to transition from one home (which Fay also helped us buy) into another with confidence. We could not imagine going through the process with anyone else. Fay is simply the best at what she does. Thank you Fay and Brittany.
Fay and her team (Brittany) were very friendly and helpful. They showed us lots of homes and were very patient with us. Fay was always available and very responsive and on top of scheduling new listings. She was very organized, detail-oriented, and she made sure our comfort was met every step of the way. Even after closing, we are still in touch with Fay and she is helping us with everything related to our new house. I would strongly recommend her to everyone I know.
Thank you so much for your help! We are so grateful for all of the hard work youve done. We are endlessly appreciative to have you as our agent and couldnt be happier with the way everything worked out. Fay is a very professional real estate agent who listened to our specific wants and needs. This is our second time that we buy a house with her help. Agent Fay was always available to answer our questions and show us the house any time we asked. Fay is absolutely wonderful to work with. Its like having a friend on the aEURoeinsideaEUR? that is working for you. She really cares about her clients as well as the community and neighborhood she lives in. From start to finish she was very responsive, kind, and a constant professional. We look forward to the opportunity to work with Fay and her Real Estate Team again. Thank you Fay for all of your hard work! Sincerely, Samira and Amir
Fay was there for me from day 1, with a solid recommendation on listing price and timing, all the way through to the close of my sale. Even though I was out of country at the time my unit was listed, Fay took extra efforts to assist with my unit, my mail and the coordination of details with the property manager. It was the 3rd time Ive worked with Fay and I would definitely do so again.
Quick to respond and great listener to buyers needs. Negotiated with listing agents and showed us homes we liked. Her associate was very accommodating and professional. Made the buying experience pleasant.
I've had the pleasure to know Fay Besharat through a friend, for our house purchase in the Westchester Redmond/WA, as our Buyers Agent. There's no word - expressive enough, describing how Fay and her team went above and beyond the industry standards and measures to ensure of a "perfect" house-hunting and purchasing experience. Having said that, this is no surprise due to Fay's 34+ years of industry experience, and her talented team - specially Brittany Buttelmann. Fay and Brittany took the lead throughout our house hunting process and proactively organized multiple reach out mechanisms to 200+ potential buyers. They patiently worked with us to portray the perfect house with "our definition", and narrowed down the search so efficiently - specially during the COVID-19 pandemic seller market period that made it multiple times harder and more complex. Once we found our perfect house in the Westchester community, the offer and closing process was so masterfully orchestrated by Fay that I personally could not ask for a better specialist to partner with, and have it executed so perfectly. Fay has mentored an absolute bar-raising team; she (and her team) did go above and beyond any measures to fail-safe and protect our journey, with enormous amount of care, talent, determination, and competency. I'm very glad that I've had the pleasure to partner with them and very grateful for such a lovable experience provided to me and my family.
I was lucky enough to work with Fay . Having an industry professional who could actually steer us through the clutter of what is out there and help me and my husband make marketing decisions that would help us break through from the crowd, providing real return on investment was invaluable. Fay has a reputation for being very professional and a pleasure to work with, me and my family look forward to work with her again soon!
I cannot describe how grateful I am with the service that I got from Fay, and her team. I cannot imagine how my home buying process would be without her help. She is very knowledgeable, super professional, and unbelievably responsive. After working with her, I cannot think working with anyone else in future, that was really our fortunate that had this opportunity to work her team, and buy our property with her . Our process was super smooth, her team members were always on the top of everything, and she guided us step by step. I do recommend her for all you out there who are thinking about selling or buying your property. Thank you Fay, I really mean it!
It was a pleasure working with her. She is very helpful and resourceful in all aspects of real estate which was very helpful to me. always in contact for updates and always on top of any issue. all and all a wonderful experience. Thank you.
It was really nice working with Fay and her team and I am grateful for my friend who introduced her to us. Without her help we may not be able to buy our home. From the first call she was energetically in search of a suitable home within our tight area and budget limitations. She is super responsive to communications (calls, texts, emails, etc.) and responded either right away or within a few minutes. Her experience during the negotiations with the buyer agent together with guidance on how to make the offer was really helpful in closing our deal. We strongly suggest Fay and her team as your buyer agent.
Fay and her team went above and beyond my expectations when selling our condo. The responsiveness to our questions and calls were always immediate and professional. Her expertise in the market was spot on and thorough. We look forward to continuing this relationship in future real estate endeavors.
Having Fay and her teams expertise and support for finding our new home has been amazing. When my husband and I first moved to the area from California couple of years ago we didnt know the neighborhoods and having Fay as our agent was truly our luck. She patiently showed us different houses in different cities and neighborhoods in the Eastlake and informed us what were the advantages/disadvantages over another. That was exactly what we needed to find the right place for ourselves to call it home. We appreciate all her efforts and support for helping us not only the first time but also on our search and purchase for our second house recently and highly recommend Fay and her team to anyone we know.
During our search for the place we can truly call home, Fay was with us, as our agent and most importantly as an understanding, compassionate person. She helped us all along the way, listenjng to our concerns and what mattered to us in our searches. She is resourceful and most adept in her field. Her expertise and insight are such valuable assets for any buyer who is looking for quality and best price in housing market. She was constantly in touch with us, answering our neverending train of questions and inquiries. We couldn't have had a better experience. I totally recommend Fay and her amazing team.
