ZillowVERIFIEDTime to express our thanks and appreciation for an outstanding experience. The sale was a new experience for us and we could not be more pleased with the outcome. Your professionalism clearly played a large part in the success of the sale. And perhaps more important is the fact that you really care about your clients. It showed as you continually went the extra mile to assist our every need. We know of no way the our entire experience could have been better. Thank you so very much and continued success in all your future endeavours. Judy & Max.

ZillowVERIFIED Selling our parents estate in Trilogy, a retirement community in Gilbert, AZ, could have been a complicated and stressful processaEUR"especially since we live out of stateaEUR"but Mike & Lani West made the entire experience incredibly smooth from start to finish. They were attentive, professional, and genuinely easy to work with every step of the way. Because we werent local, they went above and beyond by regularly checking on the property and helping coordinate minor repairs and maintenance. Their willingness to handle those extra details gave us tremendous peace of mind. One of the things that impressed us most was their extensive network of trusted referrals. Whether it was repairs, services, or other needs that come up when selling a home, they had reliable people ready to help, which made the process far more efficient. They also demonstrated real creativity and skill during negotiations, working hard to ensure both sides felt good about the outcome. It was clear they are highly knowledgeable about the Trilogy community and the local market, which helped position the home effectively. Their marketing strategy was excellent, communication was consistent and clear, and every step of the process felt well managed and seamless. Overall, this team is truly top-notch. Were very grateful for their dedication, professionalism, and support throughout the sale. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in Trilogy or the Gilbert area.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I could not be happier with the outstanding service provided by Mike and Lani West We sold our home in Trilogy very quickly using their successful marketing strategy that promoted our house in a comprehensive manner including full-color, professionally photographed flyers. The entire process from the initial listing, to the showings, to the offer, and to the closing was handled in a professional and competent manner. If you are looking for real estate professionals as either a buyer or a seller, we highly recommend Mike and Lani West. Larry & Cindy O'Grady

ZillowVERIFIED When my husband & I were relocating from Mukilteo to St. Louis for work, we wanted a realtor that brought strong local knowledge for our unique, sound-view home. Our next-door neighbor had sold their home in a matter of days in 2020 using Mike and Lani West - they couldn't say enough great things about them. So with that referral and our research, we asked for a meeting with them... Mike was super-fast in responding. It was clear from our first phone call that he went above-and-beyond to learn about the market - citing economic trends and sharing his insights/ learnings. We arranged a date/ time for him to see our home. In our first in-person meeting, we observed just how professional and put-together Mike & Lani are. Both are very charismatic and knowledgeable - they were on top of the details, Lani taking copious notes and asking thoughtful questions. From that point on - if I were to sum up our experience with them - they made our lives SO easy + you can look forward to delightful surprises. We received a card and bakery goodies shortly after our initial meeting, what a nice touch! We wanted to declutter our home by moving some furniture to a local storage unit. They have a moving truck which we used over a weekend to accomplish that, really took the stress/ cost out of that task. In the photography, it's clear that they have a meticulous eye for detail and they really made our home/ yard shine! When I opened up the brochure they designed for our home, I was blown away and all I could say was, aEURoeWow!!aEUR? Our home was set to go on the market just as we received news of record high temperatures that weekend. And, like most homes in the Puget Sound, we have no air-conditioning. I was very reluctant about how this would impact showings (+100 degrees in Mukilteo!). Mike and Lani were so patient and understanding. They listened to me vent and coached me through my discomfort. We went on the market, as scheduled, and while I was pretty nervousaEUR| thank goodness I followed Mike and Lanis impeccable advice as we received an unbelievable offer in < 24-hours on the market. The buyer's agent was someone Mike/ Lani had done a deal with just months earlier. It was abundantly clear that their relationship with the agent + credibility in the local market was what landed us this unbelievably fast, above-ask offer. The closing process was effortless, Mike/ Lani handled all the details and kept us well-informed. On top, they worked directly with my husbands company's relocation agent with ease. A corporate relocation creates a lot of extra paperwork/ bureaucracy, and Mike/ Lani handled it with no concern. Highly recommend - you'll enjoy their professionalism, detail-orientation, local relationships/ market expertise, and their intellect coupled with an easy-going approach.

ZillowVERIFIED We first met Mike and Lani West at an open house that they were hosting in our neighborhood in Mukilteo. Both were so gracious and were very knowledgeable about the home that they were showing. When we decided to sell our home we asked them to come and give us some input about the value. They came with a wonderful packet of homes that they had listed and how to present our property, Their knowledge of the area and their presentation of a property is very professional and way beyond any other realtors that we had worked with. We listed with them and within days they had incredible professional photos, an impressive booklet on the home and our home was quickly put on the MLS. Their marketing of our property was top-notch and it showed in all the response that we got. The first week they held an open house and the home sold with several back up offers. They walked us through each and every step and with all their expertise they made sure when there was a few glitches that we knew our choices. After the house sold we were ready to find a new home. Mike and Lani had definitely listened to what we were looking for. They took us to several available homes knowing that they were not quite a fit, but would give us a good feel for what was available. Then when our current home went on the market they immediately went and viewed it, called us immediately stating that we should come see it. They were right, it was the one. They worked well with the other realtor and very professionally had everything ironed out in a day or so. We couldnt have been any happier that both were representing us in the sale of our home and then the purchase of our new home They are very knowledgeable about Mukilteo and the market in this area. Mike and Lanis communication, hard work and honesty made both of our real estate processes run smoothy.The Wests come very highly recommended by us as great Realtors and great people.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I are experienced professionals in the health care and technology industries and have understand when we encounter professionals in other fields. Clearly from our earliest interactions with Mike and Lani we knew we we're dealing with people who not only knew their industry, they understood all the micro and macro details needed to analyze the market, properly list and position our property and execute the negotiation and successful closing of the property.We very much appreciated their attention to detail, the personal effort and the quick follow up to even our smallest of questions. We would not only do business again with the West team, but we would highly recommend them to our close friends and family.

ZillowVERIFIED We chose to work with Mike and Lani West primarily because of their extensive knowledge of the Mukilteo housing market and their stellar reputation in the community. They guided us through the home selling process from beginning to end and helped us navigate through challenges. We listed our home at the beginning of the pandemic, and it sold within two weeks, which we attribute to their fantastic marketing and networking skills. No matter the setback, Mike and Lani remained positive and confident. We could not have worked with better agents to help sell our home and start our new life in CA. They are true professionals with a proven track record of success. Hamid & Monique Alidadi

ZillowVERIFIED Mike and Leilani West are the real-estate agents who helped up sell our house in Mukilteo. There are very knowledgeable and professional, as agents and have worked for many years in the area. They know their market. We discussed how to market the house, what features to emphasize, and how to stage the house for a good showing. A beautiful brochure was printed and the house was easy to find on the MLS listings. This was the first time, in 20 years that we had sold a house. They were very responsive to our questions. They were very good at discussing the strategy and our options, each step of the way. They work well as a team, each working their strong abilities and supporting each other. We were very pleased with the end result.

ZillowVERIFIED We met Mike and Lani at an open house they were hosting in Windward Bluff across from our residence. Our next-door neighbors were moving. We stopped by to chat and were impressed with knowledge, helpful hints and professionalism in every stage of open house preparation and presentation. Beautiful brochure with professional pictures made unforgettable and long-lasting impression. In this time we had no idea that in less than a year we will be relocating out of the state and we will be looking for real estate agents specializing in company relocation. Our first thoughts went to Mike and Lani the Mukilteo Specialists. They are also very familiar and certified in company relocation home selling process. Our neighbors used them for the same reason. That was exactly what we were looking for. Our initial meeting gave Mike and Lani an opportunity to present their professionalism, communication skills and knowledge of the Mukilteo market and they achieved it in every way. Market analysis and targeted marketing plan was comprehensive and spot on. They are a formidable team complementing each other perfectly, very easy and pleasant to talk with, and always appear relaxed and engaged.Our decision to work with them from listing to close was a right one. We had an open house which produced multiple offers above asking price. They continued to work with us after we accepted buyers offer to make sure that all the details were taken care of before the closing date. Our experience could not have been any better. They delivered exactly what they promised and they deserve their outstanding reputation. We are very pleased to recommend Mike and Lani West Team to anyone who is searching for a realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED I interviewed three different realtors and Michael and Leilani proved to be the right choice. They guided me through the whole process from beginning to end. They made suggestions on what to leave and or remove so that my house would show properly. Pictures were taken by a professional photographer at different times of day to really take advantage of my view. One important item was how proactive they were in contacting me on steps along the way. They strive to listen to the seller so that I was very comfortable in my listing price and total costs that would be incurred, no surprises. Due to their excellent preparation and marketing my house sold one day after it was listed with a full price offer. The whole process was so easy I could not believe it. One huge bonus that Mike and Lani provide is a full size moving truck needed and I took advantage of that great asset.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I would like to share our excellent home selling experience while working with Mike and Lani West. After 26 years living in this one home, we realized we had much to learn about todays real estate business, housing market and modern marketing. We initially met Mike and Lani on a snowy February 2019 day after reading very good feedback on the web about the West HomeSelling Team. They provided us a comprehensive overview of the many things we needed to know to get ready to sell. After a 2nd meeting with Mike and Lani at our home, we had great confidence about moving forward with our plans to sell. They provided valuable coaching on preparing and staging the house, and on resolving known issues. Mike provided contractor names for the work that needed to be done, and these referrals worked out extremely well. Our house listed on an April date allowing us to be completely ready, and more importantly listing with the ideal market timing as advised by Mike & Lani. All their sales materials (graphics, photos, flyers, web page, description of property highlights, and uploads to the other Real Estate websites) were beautifully and professionally done. Now the best part: within 2 days of the active listing we had an excellent offer which we were able accept with great confidence. (They were as excited and pleased as we were, but noted that our quick sale experience was exceptional, not common). It was made possible by the fine marketing done by them, plus all of our home/yard prep work AND catching the right buyers attention. All else went very smoothly up thru closing and change of possession. If you want to work as a real team with real estate brokers, we highly recommend Mike and Lani West. And weve been able to turn our solid sale proceeds into the purchase of our dream home within a few short months, something we thought mightve not even been possible. Our thanks go to Mike and Lani West.

ZillowVERIFIED All are NOT EqualaEUR|..Experience and being an expert in the geographic market does count! I began my journey 6 months earlier with another RE Broker, who was a long time acquaintance. While the previous RE Broker treated me respectfully and did all that was in their power, in a complex and shifting market, this RE Broker didnt have all the skill sets to successfully guide me and the sale of my home. I felt as though I was driving the RE Broker and not the other way around. I believe this spoke to level of experience. The listing (6 months) expired, I was left with an unsold house, an uncertain selling future and a changing market. Having missed the aEURoehotaEUR? selling market, I went looking to reboot the listing, my experience and find a new RE Broker. I reached out to 6 respected RE Brokers in the Harbour Pointe area. I put forward a series of questions and solicited proposals from the 6 RE Brokers. All 6 Brokers responded with proposals on what they would do, complete with CMAs (in my opinion, comps are a dark art and can give a false sense of reality depending what the comparables are) and a recommendation of what price to relist the house. Recommendations of relisting price and recommendations were all over the lot. All but 1 of the Brokers actually followed up and met with me. The West team were one of the 6 respondents. I was fortunate to have another RE Broker in the background acting as a aEURoeconsultantaEUR? to me. This 3rd party Broker was NOT familiar with any of the 6 respondents nor the specific Mukilteo market, but understood what top notch Brokers do. Mike and Lani were aEURoeon top of their gameaEUR? and after considerable discussion and review with my 3rd Party RE Broker consultantaEUR|..it was clear that the West team had what it took and I decided to go with them in September 2018 for the following reasons: 1. No nonsense - Mike and Lani did not sugar coat the market and were clear and on the money when it came to the CMA, relisting price and what needed to be done to the house, for the price point. 2. They are experts - Mike and Lani understand and are experts in the local Market (that means, Mukilteo and specifically Harbour Pointe). This is the only way they put bread on the table. They dont have a fall back and therefore are professionals in this arena. 3. Experience counts - having ridden good and challenging markets, they are unflappable and stay on top of what is happening. 4. Marketing - Mike and Lani had a great marketing program that hit a multitude of sites, demographics and modalities. The market is shifting in where buyers look - the West team stays on top of technology and not only stages for a great photo shoot and write up, but populates into a number of online sites and follows them up. 5. Staging - While staging can be personal, Mike and Lani had a great sense of what a potential buyer candidate is wanting to see. 6. Driving to completion - Mike stays on top of the transaction from the first offer all the way to closure (passing papers). 7. Flexibility - Every transaction is different! Mike and Lani have the experience to adjust quickly to market changes and are in constant communication. I did not have to drive once and Mike carefully acted as my advocate and advisor. When it came to inspection and later transaction details, Mike carefully guided me to decisions that were in my best interest and I closed the transaction, end of November 2018, with the best possible outcome; aggressive timeline, solid contract and best possible sell point given the market. I now know what a successful transaction looks like for a Seller and if I had another property in Mukilteo (or adjacent region) to list, I would, without hesitation, engage the West Team again. Thanks Mike and Lani for being there for me. Greg T Mukilteo Harbour Pointe Resident of 20+ years

ZillowVERIFIED Dear Michael and Lani,Gary and I would like to thank you for all the hard work, expertise, patience and help through what was a very stressful time. When we decided to sell our home, my daughter said, aEURoecall the Mukilteo Specialists!aEUR? and we are glad we did. From our first meeting we were impressed by your professionalism, knowledge and experience in the Mukilteo real estate market and we felt that that would be a great advantage in selling our home. You were honest with the minor changes we needed to make to attract buyers and referred us to professionals to get the work done. I'm convinced that we would not have been able to do that within the timeline without your help.When the market began to slow, we werent sure it was a good time to sell and even thought about taking it off the market until the spring. Thank you for encouraging us to stay the course. Despite a tight timeline to closing on the sale, you kept us on task by checking in and helping us with all the details and were always a call or text away. Also, the use of your truck saved us the cost of hiring a mover.We highly recommend you, Michael and Lani West, to anyone looking for a home in the Mukilteo area. Very Sincerely,Gary and Marji Leonard

ZillowVERIFIED From our initial meeting to closing - and beyond - Mike and Lani West were with us every step of the way in the recent sale of our home on Puget Sound Boulevard. We had contacted the Wests based on the strong recommendation of our former next door neighbors who had sold their home through The West Home Selling Team a year earlier. We found Mike and Lani to be personable, professional, and extremely well-informed on the local housing market, and their market research leading to a pricing decision was detailed and well-documented. Their marketing materials and sales strategy proved to be successful, and the two offers we received within two weeks led to a mutually satisfactory sale. Throughout the process Mike and Lani were always generous with their time and set the highest standard for customer service. We are delighted to recommend the Wests to anyone seeking the best in a residential real estate agent.

ZillowVERIFIED Mike and Leilani West are THE experts of residential real estate in Mukilteo. We knew that when the time came to sell our condominium unit, the Wests would be our realtors, without question. Their advice on using some of our own furniture and dA(C)cor to stage our home saved us a lot of time and money. The marketing materials (photographs, etc.) they produced made our home look amazing. Within a short time we had multiple offers. The whole process was quick and trouble-free. We would certainly recommend Mike and Leilani to anyone interested in buying or selling in our area.

ZillowVERIFIED My experience with Mike and Lani West was exceptional in every way.I needed to sell my house there in Mukilteo in Harbour Pointe, and my house was not in any shape to sell! I was living out of state and needed help with contractors to fix it up, as well as junk removal. They oversaw the home improvements, dealing directly with the contractors. They were both very knowledgeable and professional and friendly. They were also very hard workers!! I cannot say enough good things about them. Also, they had very good photography of my home, which sold in the first week of sale. They determined the selling price, and I went with their instincts, and it paid off.

ZillowVERIFIED We couldn't have been more satisfied with our interactions with Mike and Leilani West. From our first meeting all the way through to the sale of our home they were entirely professional, experienced, helpful and supportive as we maneuvered through some obstacles. Their motto to us was "Hang in there" and we did. We always felt that they had our best interests at heart. It was easy to put our trust in them as they determined the appropriate listing price and arranged for viewings and open houses. We would gladly recommend them to anyone who is planning to sell their home.Bonnie and Jerry Sutton

I could not say enough positive remarks about our interactions with Mike and Lani West. Throughout our time working with them they were always efficient, knowledgeable, trustworthy, approachable, and likeable. When there were hurdles, they were quick to problem solve and always encouraged us to "hang in there". We felt they had our best interests always. We were totally satisfied with the final outcome in the sale of our home.

ZillowVERIFIED We recently sold our home in Mukilteo with Mike and Lani West and had an excellent experience. After interviewing several agents for the job, we chose the West team not because of a fancy sales pitch, but because we felt like we could trust them and they really seemed to know the Mukilteo real estate market better than anyone. They did not disappoint! From start to finish, they were on top of everything. Their marketing was excellent quality and drew lots of interest in our home. We ended up with multiple offers and sold our home for more than we expected with ideal terms. Having a two-person team comes with huge benefits as well aEUR" Mike and Lani work so well together and were always available. When a few issues arose during the process, Mike and Lani were right there to provide solutions and resources. In more than one instance they worked beyond our expectations. Moving can be stressful, but you are in good hands with Mike and Lani - we would not hesitate to use the West team again aEUR" we highly recommend!

ZillowVERIFIED We first found Mike and Leilani when we received a post card of a home for sale in our neighborhood. The photos of the home were so beautiful I told my husband, if we ever decide to sell our house I am using these people. He just laughed and I tucked the postcard in my address book for almost two years. When we did call and met with them they exceeded all expectations with their amazing knowledge and professionalism. They will have answers to questions that you don't even ask. We ended up selling 3 homes with Mike and Leilani and purchasing 2 more. We have received above the asking price for them all. We will always appreciate what a pleasant, positive experience Mike and Leilani made for our home sales and purchases. We can't imagine what they could have possibly done to make it any better!!

Their experience, market expertise and professionalism have guided and served us well. They will be the team of choice for our next purchase and we highly recommend them to anyone who is selling or buying a home in the Puget Sound area.

ZillowVERIFIED I was a real procrastinator when it came to listing. From all the 'sold' signs bearing their names in my neighborhood, I knew the Wests would be a top choice for listing. After our first encounter, I came away with the feeling of true professionals, people of good character, and honesty. I think it took me about 2 years to actually get busy and sell, and during the wait time Mike was never even close to pressure or push, simply letting me know of his presence and desire to jump in and get the house sold whenever I was ready. I soon came of the opinion that not only were the right type of skills honed to perfection, but a genuine caring aboutpeople superseded having to use to skills. The income/life experience level of people buying the price range of house we were listing, in my opinion, indicates a buyer who is discerning in not just housing but in the type of person they do business with, and look for traits Mike and Leilani exude. From pre-beginning until after closing they handled the whole thing with patience, understanding, and an educational approach. I was 110% informed, communication lines open and prompt. We got full price + a little on top, closed quickly, and they 'held my hand' thru cleanup, moving, painting, staging(wow!), and closing.

ZillowVERIFIED Mike and Leilani West were the perfect team for us. After living in mukilteo for many years we have watched the market go up and down and real estate agents come and go. However, the West team was always strong. So when it came time to sell our house we knew exactly who we wanted to do the job. They were all we hoped for and more. The attention to detail, communication, and understanding of our needs was 5 star. From prepping our home, listing, pictures, marketing, to negotiating and closing the deal we were well taken care of. We highly recommend Mike and Leilani. If we ever have the opportunity to buy in the mukilteo area again we know they will again be the agents for us!

ZillowVERIFIED I followed Mike and Leilani for two years after initially interviewing them. They get top dollar for the homes the sell. I chose them and they kept all their promises they made. We had two full price offers within two days of listing. They were always available to us throughout the entire process! Thank you for helping us through what could have been a difficult time. They are experienced and very honest to work with!

ZillowVERIFIED The marketing was outstanding! They showed the home beautifully. Our home sold less than two weeks for more far more than the listing price. The open houses and showings went with ease. I highly recommend the West Home Selling Team! I will most certainly use them again if the occasion arises.

ZillowVERIFIED We contacted Mike and Lani West after monitoring realtors' results in our Mukilteo area. Having an older high end house with a pool, we knew it would take a realtor with expertise in marketing to sell it in a timely manner. Lani and Mike sat down with us prior to listing with them and laid out a plan of home improvements to guarantee buyer interest and then connected us with great, local contractors. They provided us with references and a very professional marketing plan. Throughout the updating process, Lani and Mike stayed in touch with us without pressure, always offering their help. After almost a year later, we signed with them. With Lani, and her creative staging ideas, we were able to move our own furniture around for more appeal. Mike, a marketing expert, was quick to get our home listed in multiple sites and continually refreshed our listing to keep it on top. They went above and beyond other realtors, and when our house sold, they didn't abandon us. With their many connections, we found reasonably priced professional movers and they even offered the use of their truck! We would, without hesitation, recommend the Mike and Lani West team to anyone who wants friendly, professional experts who treat you like family and sell your home quickly for the price you agree to.

ZillowVERIFIED Mike and Leilani did a great job helping us get our house sold. They sat down with us and went thru the market analysis of other homes in the area so we had a really good idea what other houses in the area were selling for. They recommended a few improvements to help the house show better and referred us to a painter who did a great job in a short time. Mike and Leilani are very knowledgeable about the area and were very quick to respond back to our calls. We had an offer within a week and they walked us thru every step of the way. Even when there was an unexpected setback, they were right there making sure everything continued smoothly. They took much of the stress of selling and moving off our shoulders.

ZillowVERIFIED Christopher was an excellent advocate for us through-out our home buying process. We were picky customers and spent 8 months looking for the right home. He was always patient, gave valuable input and focused on finding us a home we would love. Christopher and West Team have very good connections and provided us with timely information about the listing. The follow through during the purchase process was thorough and helpful. He helped us with a range of resources, from contractors to finance people. We happily recommend Christopher and the West Team to anyone buying or selling a home in the Mukilteo. You'll be happy!

Their sales support was flawless and fast; the team earned our highest endorsement for service, support and experience! Their Professionalism is exceptional! Thank you Mike, Lani and Chris.Tim & Lori

ZillowVERIFIED We met Mike couple of years ago in one of their home showings. I remembered his non-intimidating polite demeanor greeting us with a smile and telling us gently, aEURoeMake an offeraEUR?, gave us one of his cards and offered us to visit another house around the corner and left us alone (Thank Goodness!). I'm quite skeptical of realtors and anything that deals with a large sum and yet, I kept his card! The nicest and most honest realtors I have ever been blessed with.My husband and I have had owned couple of homes so the seller/buyer is a familiarity ride. Sure everyone needs a living but lets be fair on the fare. The inventory market in Mukilteo is tight and most of the buildable lands are developed and we knew what we were up against, especially around the Harbour Pointe Blvd area, a aEUR~bidding war on fairly new and old homes. A war we did not participate in and we let the realtors know upfront, we did not want to compete and we did lose several times. We needed a Mukilteo Real Estate Specialist! Recalling Mike in our memory, I pulled out his card I kept those 2 years and gave a call. We met his lovely wife Leilani and two was better than one. They complement each other with their skills keeping the process going forward.While they searched for homes for us, I still never gave up searching (sleepless) and I'm quite competitive. Leilani had me beat to this particular home sale. (A professional advantage and why we hired them!) She was working waaaaay over! The house wasnt out on the market. I Googled the history of the home and that same day, we text this: aEUR~we want to see it today, we want to sign a contract today, we want it today! Leilani has been our savior from some of the houses I had desired for, and for many good reasons. Looking back, Id have buyers remorse by now. Leilani and Mike were very honest of the location and everything about the house that they knew. If there are any changes you may want to make. They can expeditiously connect with tradesmen before settling in, if you want to or later. They have for us and made the transition less stressful.Here is how they helped us with tradesmen before we settled in. Our 27yr old new/old home, the garage floor and the back patio slab had cracked settled 5 inches below the norm and Mike connected with a tradesman to level it out. Then there was a partial wall between the Master bed and bath, Mike again connected us with a tradesman to build a wall up. The tradesman did great quality work and we were very happy and satisfied to move in. Yes, we were offered to use their truck. Of course, we did!Leilani and Mike referred an inspector and he was thorough. He made suggestions, gave us a copy of his report and sent us a link so you can see his inspection photos and make improvement from there. So worth it! Good news, no major structural issues to the house.So here what we liked about our new/old home. The home we purchased was built in 1989. We liked: 1) location and how the house was situated 2) no stairs 3) large entry with closet 4) new roof 5) newly refinished and long driveway 6) large garage 7) solid cabinets and doors that look like they have been newly stained and some replaced 8) nice appliances 9) new paint of neutral color 10) I had to have a fireplace but I have two now! This is the neighborhood that my husband I like biking around from the apartments we once lived. We wanted to be at the south end of the loop. It took us 3 years of looking. So, of all the homes we looked at, its the best for what we wished for and it fit our needs. We had done a lot of DIY home improvement for an up-to-date look and especially, to make it meticulously our own. This was an estate sale. Leilani and Mike sincerely worked hard for us to negotiate with the seller. Our stellar credit had won over the higher bid. The time from contract to close about a month. They do have the competitive professional edge, lots of credit and respect to both. Would we hire them again? YES!Thank you Leilani and Mike for all you have done and giving us the generous gifts to celebrate and celebrating with us! Thanks for coming to see our progress and definitely have you both visit us again. We are so blessed. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

ZillowVERIFIED When it was time for us to sell our Waterford Park house where we had lived for 21 years, the choice of an agent was an easy decision. During the last 10 years, we had noticed that Mike and Lani had listed and sold more homes in Mukilteo than anyone else. When they told us the price they thought our house could sell for, we didnt believe it. For a minute, we thought they were telling us a number that we wanted to hear. After they reviewed the data, we were convinced that the number was solid and based entirely on recent sales activity in Mukilteo. What gave us more confidence was the fact that they had been involved in most of these transactions. Because they have been so active in the local market, they have talked to a tremendous number of buyers and agents who were looking for houses similar to ours. Their plan was very detailed and involved targeted marketing that focused on specific groups of buyers. In the end, we received multiple offers and sold for more than the list price. Although the Wests are very busy, we always felt like we were their only customer. You could not ask for a more professional, customer focused team.

ZillowVERIFIED Mike and Lani West showed us a house in Mukilteo that we fell in love with. Our problem was that our existing home was not ready to sell. They gave us solid advice on crafting a contingent offer that was accepted, then worked tirelessly with us to get our house sold in time to close both deals. They had great recommendations to make our house show-ready, and we soon had it on the market, and it sold in ten days. They gave us professional advice and guidance through all of the inevitable bumps entailed in selling and buying a house, including key assistance in getting our financing in place. They had great contacts in the contractor community to get work done on both houses to comply with inspections and our desires for improvement. We moved into our new house less than two months after falling in love with it at first sight. I doubt any other realtors could have managed our deal as effectively, efficiently, and professionally as Mike and Lani West.

ZillowVERIFIED Professional and trustworthy describe realtor Mike West and his team. We sold two houses in the Mukilteo school district and Mike was our listing agent. His marketing strategy resulted in the sale of both of our homes in a matter of days with multiple offers . Mike kept us informed throughout the whole selling process.

ZillowVERIFIED We started the process to sell our home a year before we went on the market. Even though we were a year out from listing, Mike and Lani immediately responded to calls, met with us numerous times and stepped us through the process from listing to close. It was a true partnership and we knew our listing was in good hands with the West's. The market analysis prepared by Mike was spot on and after a few weeks on the market, we did sell our home for list price. They are a great team together from Mike's negotiation skills to Lani's detail, organization, and staging skills, they are a formidable team. Mike and Lani also have a large network of support to help their clients; from a wonderful handy man to cross-country moving companies they helped us through what could of been a very stressful process and made it as easy and stress free as possible. We highly recommend Mike and Lani West as real estate agents to sell your home.

ZillowVERIFIED Bottom-Line-Up-Front is Mike and Lani accomplished everything regarding the sale of our home we asked them to do. We had flexibility on the timing of the sale and following their expert and very detailed market analysis and marketing plan we decided to list our home immediately. Mike and Lani skillfully guided us in preparing our home for sale including providing connections and recommendations for contractors, landscapers and even a Moving and Storage Company. Mentioning a referral from Mike and Lani West always resulted in top-notch service and, I believe, in some cases, head-of-line-privileges. Our home sold within two weeks of listing and I note both Mike and Lani as skilled negotiators and wise business-persons. We, as sellers, achieved our goals and we will speculate the buyer was extremely satisfied as well. Mike and Lani certainly made the selling of our home a positive experience!

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I could not be happier with the outstanding service provided by Mike and Leilani West! As so often happens, we found a house we liked before having our existing home ready to list. We were nervous and uncertain about making an offer on a new house knowing that there would be at least a month delay before listing our present home. Their guidance was so reassuring and helpful that we aEURoetook the plunge,aEUR? and I am writing this review from that new house. Mike and Lani helped us through the ups and downs of the process, and their expertise and experience had us feeling very secure throughout with the knowledge that we were in very good hands! One could write pages and pages about what sets Mike and Lani apart from other realtors, but I will try to mention just a handful of the qualities that really hit home with us. 1. Mike and Lani are pure professionals! They have a very successful strategy that works. They will promote your house in a first class, comprehensive manner. They also understand the position of the home seller/buyer, and will ALWAYS put their clients first. They will honestly voice concerns, or make recommendations, but leave all final decisions to you. They truly work hard to earn you the best price, and will NOT put their interests ahead of your own. 2. They are excellent communicators. They are very easy and pleasant to talk with, and always appear relaxed and engaged. You are kept well informed with how things are progressing, and even receive feedback from prospective buyers on what they liked or didnt like about your home. 3. Their names carry clout. They have excellent reputations, and are well respected in the community and in the profession. 4. Lastly, I have made such great use of their moving truck over the last couple months that it bears mentioning. Their moving truck is readily available for clients use, and we have used it on a number of occasions now. As a person familiar with the pain of U-Haul transactions, the time and money saved by this perk is a godsend! So, in closing, I would like to mention that we have not a single criticism or complaint about Mike or Lani West, and the service they provided us. They were a reliable as the sun rising each morning. We will gladly recommend them to anyone we meet who is searching for a realtor. Bruce and Jen Wietharn, Mukilteo
