ZillowVERIFIEDAmazing experience. We've worked with several realtors in the past few years. Hands down, working with William has been on a whole different level of professionalism. He managed our home purchase and the sale of our property. He is a wonderful person who is motivated to make the process as easy on you as absolutely possible. Wouldn't recommend anyone else. You must meet him if you are in the market.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen we started this process, homeownership felt like a distant dream. We were still paying off debt and rebuilding our credit, and honestly, we werent sure wed qualify for much of anything. But Will took us under his wing anyway, sitting down to really understand what our little family needed and wanted. He listened patiently when I explained my one non-negotiable: enough square footage that I wouldnt want to murder anyone living in it. (A low bar, I know, but an important one.) While price and monthly payments werent on my radar, they mattered a lot to my husband aEUR" and Will became the perfect translator between my aEURoevibes-basedaEUR? wish list and my husbands very real budget. As we kept paying down debt and building credit, Will stuck with us the whole way, patiently showing us homes and never once making us feel like a lost cause. Somewhere along the way, I fell in love with a set of condos and started calling it aEURoemaking my Darby Dreams come true.aEUR? Will and our loan officer worked as a true team to get us there. Thanks to this amazing team, my Darby Dream became a reality aEUR" and my husbands sanity (and wallet) survived the process too. Will, I cant thank you enough for putting up with us. Youre forever an honorary member of the Lyons family.

ZillowVERIFIEDWill helped us navigate a really tricky out-of-state sale of our first home. I couldn't really be on-hand to make sure everything got done before the sale, make sure the property was maintained, and that we were putting our best foot forward when going live with our listing. Will and his team took care of everything for us, helped turn what I was sure was going to be a nightmare process into a painless and actually enjoyable experience. I'd work with him again in a heartbeat, and highly recommend Will and his team to anyone thinking about listing property in northwest Washington.

ZillowVERIFIEDWill was recommended to me by a lawyer who was helping me with probate after my dad passed away. He provided an excellent experience during a very sensitive and emotional time. This was compounded by the fact that I live in another state, which meant relying on him for many aspects of the process. He recommended several companies for an estate sale, coordinated with a team for final cleaning, and helped identify, walk through, and manage contractors to complete the final touches on the home before listing. His team staged the home, took high-quality photos, and promoted it effectively. The results were clear. Will scheduled three showings for the first weekend, and we received full asking price on the morning of the first showing, which we accepted. He continued to communicate clearly throughout the escrow process. It was a smooth experience overall. I would recommend Will to anyone looking for a realtor in the Bellingham area. I truly appreciate all of your help, Will. Thank you.

ZillowVERIFIEDI found Will through a Reddit post and all the good things people had to say about him were true. He was very communicative and brought on a solid team for all the other parts of the buying process. It was a quick and seamless process working and if I would work with him again - easy 5 stars. Thanks Will!

ZillowVERIFIEDWilliam Elmer was my fiancA(C) and Is realtor through our home buying experience and he was fantastic in many ways! He made everything very easy to understand and was always prompt at answering any questions we had along the way. He worked great with our schedules and made sure to be available whenever we wanted to view more homes. From start to finish, he was reliable, positive, informative, and helpful. We ended up in a great house after our journey of looking at multiple houses and making offers on a few. Whenever we became serious about a particular place, he was always ready to help us put an offer in. We appreciate everything he did for us and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home!

ZillowVERIFIEDWill is a TOP NOTCH real estate professional and human being. He was attentive to and anticipated my needs. He was available when I needed him and it felt like I was his only client. I'm in the service business and he gets a full five stars for client service. He's professional yet personable. He had my back yet gave practical and reasonable advice when appropriate. He has a wide network so whenever I needed a recommendation for a home service provider (landscaping, roofing, etc.) he had connections. You won't be disappointed, whether you're buying or selling. He is my Realtor for Life.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe recently moved from California to Whatcom County and finding a good realtor was a high priority. We were incredibly fortunate to have found Will! He was very approachable and friendly right from the start and made every effort to get to know us and what we were looking for. There was never an issue getting in contact with Will and he communicated with us daily during the process. He was always available to answer questions, even after the purchase was complete. We greatly appreciate his insight and suggestions about the area, too! Will Elmer is everything a realtor should be, hes wonderful to work with and we highly recommend him!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were from out of state and Will was very accommodating in helping us find our home and giving us video tours. He was extremely supportive of our requests and helped us get a great deal. We would highly recommend him to everyone especially any long distance buyers. He has great insight into neighborhoods such as busy streets and walkability. He has young kids giving him lots of personal experience to share about the schools and parks as well.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe highly recommend Will, even more if youre a first-time buyer. His ability to simplify the real estate process and provide constant support made all the difference. Wills expertise in the Whatcom Countys market was evident from our first meeting. He invited us to his office and detailed the entire process. We cant thank Will enough for his outstanding service, commitment to clear and open communication, and for his effective explanations of complex property transactions in simple terms. His dedication to our satisfaction was evident in how he went out of his way to accommodate our viewing schedules and provided honest advice on property values. His personalized approach and commitment to our best interests ensured we found the perfect home. Not only did he find the house of our dreams, but he also helped us find contractors for different projects we had in mind for remodeling. Unsurprisingly, he has such a strong professional reputation in the real estate industry! We are very thankful, and we wouldnt hesitate to recommend Will, he has proven to be a wonderful real estate agent.

ZillowVERIFIEDWill was very knowledgeable about pricing, the best time to sell my particular house, what mattered most to buyers in preparing it for sale, and how to reach the buyers most likely to be interested. He had my home staged beautifully, left cards drawing attention to features such as updated fixtures, and held a lot of open houses. It was easy to reach him with questions, and he kept me well informed during the entire process. Wills expertise, diligence, and thoughtfulness about what I wanted from the sale ended in a sale I'm very happy with.

ZillowVERIFIEDMoving here, found THE BEST Realtor in town! William Elmer (Will) with John L Scott, has provided us with superior service as we searched for a home in our move across the state. He has been continually responsive to our every text and phone call. His attitude is can do, undeterred by challenges. When I got cold feet and backed out of an offer, he patiently worked with us to try to find just the right place. He is emotionally intelligent, personable, skilled in real estate ethics, and is always thinking of his time with his family. Well balanced, but with our needs in the fore.

ZillowVERIFIEDI can't recommend Will enough. As first time home buyers, this was a stressful and foreign process. Will guided us through the process expertly, advocating for us wherever needed and proving to be extremely dependable and worthy of our trust. His personal character is reflected in the quality of work that he puts in. As an added bonus Will has many excellent local connections and knows the area like the back of his hand. You really can't go wrong and I encourage anyone in need of an agent to give Will a call first. You won't regret it!

ZillowVERIFIEDWill is one of the most genuine humans I have ever met. He has walked my partner and me through every step along the way in making one of the biggest decisions in our life and making our dreams come true with the purchase of our first home. His professionalism and kindness have were so apparent throughout the whole process by always making himself available to answer any question no matter the hour, connecting us with other incredible people in the community to make sure we had the best information and options possible. He continuously went above and beyond to communicate with all parties to make sure we never felt left in the dark at any moment and got what worked best for us. We honestly couldn't recommend someone more.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Will while searching for our first home, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. From the day we first met, we knew he was not only knowledgeable about the local market, but also genuinely invested in teaching us how the buying process works and helping us find the perfect place. What impressed me most was that Will was always very responsive and answered all of our questions while offering great advice. This was our first time buying a house and from a different state too, but Will took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. He also accommodated his schedule and showed us over 10 properties in a couple of days, he gave us valuable insights into various neighborhoods and he understood exactly what we wanted. Will was also super helpful along the entire process and made it as smooth as it could possibly be especially from almost 2,000 miles away! Thanks Will for everything that you did for us, were so grateful for all of your help!

ZillowVERIFIEDWill is amazing. Even before I felt I was ready, he was able to help guide me as a first-time homebuyer through the entire process and set myself up for success as I started looking. He was extremely communicative and presented multiple scenarios to me at varying price points just so I could better understand how it all breaks down. As soon as I found a place, Will helped me put together an appealing offer and have it accepted within a day. He also assisted me in finding a loan officer, inspector, cleaning service for move-out, everything. Couldn't have asked for a better person to help out! Highly recommend.

ZillowVERIFIEDWill helped me and my partner find our dream home. We let him know our budget, time, and locations we were looking for and he nailed it! He went above and beyond many times like calling a bunch of inspectors for us when we needed to get one the same day. Didn't even ask and he got one lined up for us. Besides being helpful in answering questions and with getting things taken care of to make the process smoother, he also is a very nice guy. He fights hard for his clients to get what they want and knows how to put the best offer out there to get you your home. I would highly recommend him to anyone of my friends or anyone up for meeting an agent who will have your back throughout the entire process.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy father an I were referred to John L Scott Real Estate for assistance with the sale of my fathers home. We were blessed to be assigned Willam Elmer as our agent. We were interested in a quick sale and Will took on the task. He displayed great compassion and patience guiding us through the sale process. He went above and beyond, numerous times, to make this experience as smooth and painless as possible. We would highly recommend his services to anyone who is interested in buying or selling property.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe loved buying a home with Will. We had some weird issues with getting approved and I dont think another agent would have stuck through it with us. Will made the whole process so easy for us, scheduling appointments and following up on things. He has great communication and was always friendly and positive. Will was a great agent and we definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

ZillowVERIFIEDBuying a house can be many things, but enjoyable and fast have not been among them in my experience. Working with will was both. His calm and no-pressure approach were a pleasant surprise, while he was working hard behind the scenes to anticipate questions we might have and make sure everything was in order and running smoothly. He was available more than could be reasonably expected. He listened to us, and helped make sure our needs were met with clear and direct communication. His relationships with other professionals was obvious and really helped us feel like we were part of a team. When we have real estate needs in the future, we will find Will to work with him again.

ZillowVERIFIEDI have known Will for years as soon as he got in the Real-estate business, I knew my next purchase was going to be through him. He went above and beyond for me and my family from our constant trips to the new house to answering all our questions. It all happened so fast, and we couldn't have done it without his attention to detail. We went from not looking to both houses under contract in less than 2 weeks. Everyone I talk with that is looking for a realtor his name will be the first name given.

ZillowVERIFIEDWill is a real go-getter with a great team behind him. Clear and regular communication with a high level of professionalism. He listens to his clients needs and will lead you easily through the whole process. Selling our home of over a decade is hard enough to do. It helps to have someone who is great to work with to help us to the finish line.

Do yourself a favor and contact him, you wont be disappointed.

ZillowVERIFIEDAs a first time home buyer, choosing the right agent for you is one of the most crucial decisions. Choosing William as my real estate agent was the best decision we made in the entire process. His responsiveness and attention to detail made this process very easy to understand and enjoyable. He was never unavailable or not willing to take the extra step in making sure I had the knowledge necessary to make the right decisions as a family, while never pressuring us into making a decision. This whole experience has truly been a time in our lives we will cherish and look back on. I would highly recommend giving William a call if your thinking about buying or selling! You will not be disappointed!
