ZillowVERIFIEDSold our home in just a few days after we had tried in vain to sell it ourselves. He knew exactly what updates were needed to get the home in quick selling shape. Straightforward, knowledgeable of the Woodinville market.

ZillowVERIFIEDBret Butler did a fantastic job selling my parents property. There were a number of zoning complications involved and Bret did a great job working through them. He also helped steer us through a few necessary upgrades to the property, making the entire process smooth and worry free. He was very communicative and responsive though the entire process. Were very happy we chose Bret as our agent and highly recommend him.

ZillowVERIFIEDBret Butler and his team took on the sale of our property in Woodinville and we are very pleased with the outcome. Brets advice on pricing, repairs, staging and all aspects of the sale process was valuable and went as smoothly as we could have hoped for. Not only did he advice, but as we had already moved to another state, Bret took on the organization and supervision of all aspects of the cleaning, repairs and staging. Brets friendly personality and efficiency made the process easy and effortless for us. We highly recommend Bret Butler and his company.

ZillowVERIFIEDI want to share what a great experience we had with both Bret and Greg Butler. We had a large house with horse facilities to sell along with a rental house so that we could move across the state. With both properties, the professionalism, guidance and service they provided were A+. With our main house, Bret negotiated a win win for both the buyer and us. We were so happy to get a great price and the option of staying in the house with our horses until our new house was ready. Our rental house got an over the top offer that was the cherry on top. Both houses closed on time and with no surprises, the Butlers track every detail and make sure the contracts close. Selling and moving is never fun, but working with Bret and/or Greg makes the whole selling process as painless as possible. I highly recommend working with them.

ZillowVERIFIEDBret, Greg and team are absolutely incredible. This is our fifth home sell/purchase with Butler & Butler in 6 years. They are client-oriented, responsive, take the time to understand what clients are looking for and are very knowledgeable about the area. We have also received great references for trustworthy contractors, lawyers, etc from this team. We wouldnt buy or sell with anyone else- if anything, you will be at disadvantage to go with another broker! We cant recommend them enough! Thanks Butler & Butler!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had an overall excellent experience working with Butler & Butler as we worked to purchase a new home in a specific neighborhood in Woodinville and sell a home in Kirkland. Buying: It was easy to be a customer with this agency. We always had quick and easy scheduling if we wanted to see a specific property and they clearly have great working relationships with other agents in the area, which is a really important aspect in such a high demand market. The other nice piece is that you will get honest feedback. If they know a home will not be a good fit for you (based on your own input) they will not try to convince you that it is the right one for you. Selling our home was a breeze. They handled the coordination of everything from visiting the property, making recommendations in prepration to sell, staging and pre-inspection of our property. We had previews of the marketing materials and listing photos and were well informed of progress related to showings and interest. Our home was under contract in less than 4 days (offer review date) and we were very pleased with the end result. Would definitely recommend working with this agency as they bring a solid reputation as your representation and excellent customer service to the home buying/selling experience.

ZillowVERIFIEDBret Butler has his finger on the pulse of the market in Woodinville. His market analysis and suggestions for maximizing our sale value proved to be spot on. We enjoyed working with Bret, finding him competent, proactive, reliable, and always accessible.Bret advised us on profitable pre-sale improvements and facilitated a zero-cost loan that made paying for them easier. He found and scheduled competent tradesmen. When we moved out of state weeks before the sale, our improvements proceeded without a hitch thanks to Bret's attentive oversight. His effective communication and management after wed left were tremendously helpful.Bret's team did an excellent job staging our house and generating traffic. We received multiple non-contingent offers well above our property's valuation on the realty websites. We sold at a cost/sqft that was high for our neighborhood and better than other comparable homes listed at the time.Bret did a superb job selling our home, exceeding our expectations for both service and results. We highly recommend Bret and his team for top-notch realty service!Steve and Susan

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were very happy with our experience with Bret Butler. He helped with all aspects of the sale, from advising us on what work to do to increase the value of the home, through to advising us on how to negotiate a fair price. They exceeded our expectations at every step.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe absolutely loved working with the Butler and Butler team. From the first consultation meeting, through all the prep to get the home market-ready and listed, through the negotiations and finally to the close.

ZillowVERIFIEDButler and Butler helped us from beginning to end! They were so knowledgeable about the area, answered every question we had patiently and thoroughly. Bret went the extra mile to help us find our dream home! When it came time to sell our home, once again, the Butler and Butler team was amazing! They came in and gave us amazing advice, brought in a wonderful photographer and helped us get top dollar for our home in less than a week - all while allowing us to keep "living life" until it was time to move. They handled all of the details and more! The Butler and Butler professionals are true Northwest Gems!

ZillowVERIFIEDI cannot say enough great things about Butler and Butler! We had been looking for a homein Woodinville for almost two years and it wasnt until we were recently referred to Bret that we felt like we were in good hands and would find our dream home. Bret and the entire Butler and Butler team were nothing short of incredible. They were super knowledgeable about the area and surrounding areas, they were all honest, friendly, approachable and genuine. They all went above and beyond realtor responsibilities and honestly we felt like we were part of their family while we went though our search. I really felt like Bret and team were completely invested in us and finding us the right/best fit in a home.I could probably write five pages on all the great things about Butler and Butler and Bret but I can promise you if you hire them you will be in the best hands and will have confidence and clarity in your search for your new home. Thanks to Bret we are now living in our DREAM home. I truly believe this would not have been possible without his expertise and experience. Thank you Bret!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe chose Butler & Butler and are glad we did! We talked to several other realtors prior to listing. Butler and Butler had the most impressive track record and marketing program. Bret Butler stood out as the most informed, sincere, and experienced agent we met with. His market analysis was solid, looking at both historical comps and future market projections; He also gave us practical advice on what to do (and what not do) in prepping our home to achieve the highest overall net sale proceeds. Bret was attentive and hands on from beginning to end. His recommendations and help in coordinating contractors were invaluable, especially with the very tight timeline we were on. We listed our home at a listing price significantly higher than recommendations from all other realtors; It sold above list in a couple of days. Brets calm, well-reasoned advice during negotiations was great. We could not be happier with the result. We would gladly work with Butler and Butler again and would strongly recommend the Butler & Butler team to others.

ZillowVERIFIEDVery helpful advice for how we could best prepare our home for a successful sale, with preferred vendors that responded quickly to our calls. Amazing staging and photos that showed the property off well. Willing to invest the time in getting to know us and our needs, and kept us informed every step along the way. Provided realistic expectations during an ever changing Covid-19 market.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had several friends work with Butler and Butler, and when it was for us to sell there was no other agent we considered. Early in the process Bret was straight with us on what needed to be done to have our house ready to sell. We appreciated that he advised us not to do some things we expected to, and redirected us to things that would actually matter to buyers. He provided great referrals to contractors who responded quickly and got the work done fast. The photography and staging came out way better than we expected, and shortly after our listing was live my phone was ringing with agents who wanted to show our house. Just a few days later we accepted a great offer. Through the inspection and closing process Bret gave great advice and made sure everything went smoothly. Bret and his team are exemplary professionals.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have worked with Bret of Butler and Butler on the sale of two homes to date. They are extremely easy to work with and very professional. They are innovative with their marketing materials. We have also found them to be flexible in their approach. They make sure that the partnership fits the clients needs. Fully recommend a consideration should be given to Butler and Butler.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had to move before our home was ready to sell (need yard work, painting, and upgrades inside). Bret took ownership of managing the process for us making the whole experience easy. He has references for all the folks we needed. Definitely use his experience and recommendations. I appreciate all his hard work. In addition he knows the market and got us the best price.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe used Butler and Butler for a home sale/purchase four years ago, and when it was time to move again, we had no question about calling them again. They are helpful, responsive, experienced, intelligent, insightful, and respectful. We have always felt that Butler and Butler had our interests as their first priority. Both Bret and Greg are friendly and genuine, and the whole team is organized and enthusiastic. We recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, without reservation.

ZillowVERIFIEDGreg, Bret and the entire Butler&Butler team did a masterful job in helping us sell our home. From advise on house renovations to vendor/contractor recommendations, staging, pricing, marketing, and finally negotiating to a successful purch & sales agreement, the team was extremely knowledgeable, providing great guidance, counsel, and expert execution, while being responsive to our needs. We particularly appreciated them listening to and addressing our concerns throughout the process, not treating us as "just another client". We truly felt the "white glove" service and highly recommend them for anyone looking to sell their home in the greater Woodinville area!

Review for Member: Greg Butler
ZillowVERIFIEDWe came out of the experience of selling our house feeling like the services provided by B&B were well worth the real estate agent fees. I felt that was unlikely going into the process. We interviewed a few real estate agents before choosing B&B. Our house had some uncommon features that made it's value on the market difficult to determine. B&B stood out as having a clear vision of what characteristics of our house would appeal to a subset of prospective buyers. They worked closely with us to prepare our house in a way that highlighted those characteristics. The result was that our asking price was greater than we had initially imagined and we sold our home for more than that asking price.

ZillowVERIFIEDI suppose many homes are unique, (as was ours), and we hoped it would be just exactly the right home, for our future buyer. We agonized over the decision of selecting the best professional to market/sell our home (of the capable choices with strong credentials we reviwed/interviewed).With the benefit of 20-20 hindsight, we believe Butler and Butler was clearly the best choice. Meredith, Bret, Lisa, Greg, and Sunnys thoughtful, capable, professional approach to marketing and selling our home was most effective (they found the specific/unique buyer for us).Butler and Butler made us feel that our property was truly exceptional and worked hard (& smart) on our behalf. They provided market evaluation, preparation, pricing, promotion, propect identification/communication, personalized showing & Q/A execution, negotiating, and post-agreement coordination.We loved our home and Butler and Butlers capable work served us well. We would recommend their service to family and friends.

ZillowVERIFIEDI've known Bret Butler for about 5 years now since he was our realtor when we purchased our first home in the area. We have subsequently sold that home and bought another. All of our real estate transactions have been with Bret because we have had an outstanding experience with him each and every time. I would highly recommend him as a realtor for anyone looking to purchase or sell a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDBret (of Butler and Butler) is a wonderful guy. He was always on top of things, looking out for potential homes that he thought I would be interested in - he never wasted my time with sub-par listings. I always thought that he was looking out for my best interest and with an eye toward future value of a home, rather than just trying to sell me and earn his % as quick as he could. It took over nine months of searching before I found a place - he has the patience of a saint. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Review for Member: Greg Butler
ZillowVERIFIEDWe were referred to Bret Butler from a friend of ours who had Bret help them buy a home in the past with glowing reviews. We were moving from out of state and started our interactions with Bret while still living remote. He was very responsive and worked around our schedules and needs in order to start the home buying process before we moved to the area. He was great about educating us on the area and when we were in town for a visit we were able to even further narrow our search parameters after he showed us different neighborhoods. He grew up out here so his knowledge of the area is unmatched. He has great connections with other agents, home service agents, brokers, etc. He was able to answer all our questions as first time home buyers and went above and beyond to give us rough quotes on things that we might need to fix on each property. He knew what to look for in the land/house themselves and pointed out things we would have never thought of. When we finally found the house we wanted, he worked hard to get a new roof on it in the offer so that we would be able to secure our loan and saw that project through. We would definitely use Bret again and cannot recommend him enough!If you're looking for someone with unmatched local knowledge, who is kind, hustles, and caters to what you're looking for in your home then you can end your search here.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have had the pleasure of working with Bret Butler. He was our agent when we bought a home and then again a few years later when we sold a home. His knowledge of the area real estate market is the best in the business. He has a patient demeanor and really works with the client to deliver excellent results. We wouldn't consider working with any other agency when buying or selling a home.

Review for Member: Greg Butler
ZillowVERIFIEDThey were very helpful in locating a great home for me to buy and worked with the listing agent to get a price we thought was reasonable. It started with just a few specifics I was looking for and they continued to sent me listings that met those, but also used my feedback on those to find more listings. It wasn't until they were giving me so many options that I really realized what I had been looking for the whole time. As a first time home buyer I didn't know much about the process or what to look for, but they definitely did. They answered all my questions and guided me through the whole process. Also, I definitely felt that they had my best interest at heart.

ZillowVERIFIEDBret & Greg and the team alongside them were fantastic advocates for our home. The work they did on the offers before we even got to review them proved how valuable an asset the right agent can be - we always felt they were negotiating for us and not just "to get a deal done". Recommend them very highly....

ZillowVERIFIEDSummary: Overpromised and under delivered. Not worth full commission rates. Overall: We hired Butler & Butler given there presence in the area. They did try to get traffic through the house so no complaints. We had 3 issues: 1. There seems to be communication issues on the team. 2. We had issues with one arrogant team member and asked to work with another. 3. After finding the buyer ourselves, they came back with practically a joke offer for compensation reduction.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhile this review is quite late, it is still important. We were looking to sell our home within a short deadline and for a decent price. Bret Butler delivered! We had already moved out of state and this was the first time we used Bret for his services. It was much to my pleasant surprise how he took care of everything needed to prepare our home. He truly went beyond what anyone could expect. Bret had our home professionally staged, photographed, marketed all with the highest quality. Bret hit our deadline. Bret was extremely professional. Bret, you have an incredible talent and made it so easy... thank you, thank you, thank you!

They have a reputation for being honest, caring and committed. Bret showed incredible expertise and understanding of the market/area, and always took the time to help us feel comfortable and informed with the decisions that we needed to make. In today's market it is incredibly important to have a talented, trustworthy realtor that you are confident in and we can wholeheartedly say that Bret and the Butler & Butler Team is absolutely the best out there.

ZillowVERIFIEDStart with the best and plan to finish in front of the rest. I know this sounds cute but working with Bret and the Butler team exceeded any expectation we had set.In summary, start to finish including pre inspection, minor repairs and close, 40 days. Bret and the Butler team had all the data points, resources and expertise to bring it all together.What was so refreshing to see in action was insight, recommendation and results. Having a clear understanding of the market conditions and what it would take to accomplish our goals was second nature.When we started the process we found a home to purchase but wanted to sell first. Bret and the team were straight shooters and respected our intentions. In addition when we were frustrated with our resources on the buy side we were able to tap into their network of pros and coordinate both the sell and buy in 50 days.Without a doubt the best the go to pro team.
