Carrie Pierce & Associates – Coldwell Banker

This is a no brainer. Carrie was recommended by a friend who had moved to Seattle a year before we followed (from San Francisco). Before we moved she took the time to show us online several types of houses to see what we might be interested in, as well as what type of neighborhood we were looking for, and then we zeroed in. Carrie is friendly, patient, and professional to a ‘T’! She committed to several days of showing for us. When we found the house we loved, she went to town looking to secure it for us, and she did! (Even with it being a multiple bidder situation.) Then after we secured the sale, she was amazing with the closing of the sale, giving recommendations where needed and keeping us on task.
We absolutely recommend her without reservation (and have done so with another friend of ours who has also now moved up from San Francisco to Seattle and she too has now secured a new house — through Carrie’s help.)
Cheers!

I was more than a bit nervous about moving to Seattle. I came here once with my partner visiting family and that was 6 years ago. When we decided to move here, Carrie was recommended to us by friends.
She was amazing. We collaborated via email for several weeks before we made it to Seattle — and then once we got here, she had houses lined up for each day. I can’t imagine how hard she worked because we were not sure where we wanted live or what house; so those first few outings was really discovery.
Amazingly by the end of the first week — we put a bid on our new home. Carrie was just amazing all the way through. She was just as excited as us when we got the news we got the house. She put us in touch with folks that helped us with our mortgage, house inspection and more. She is our Realtor for life while we are in Seattle; there is no one I would trust more than her. Thanks Carrie! WE LOVE OUR HOUSE!

Carrie is probably the most professional, customer-​centric, and helpful person I have ever worked with in any line of work, period. It was our first time buying a home and not having been through the process before, Carrie took us through seamlessly. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home in Seattle or even just in need of real estate advice. She is AMAZING!!!

Carrie is awesome! Professional, hard working, caring, honest, strategic, & gets the job done. We have now bought 2 homes with her and would use her if we had to sell or buy a third, but we aren’t moving again for awhile hopefully!:)
When looking for a realtor it was important to us to have someone who knows the area, knows the market, is up to date on legalities, is honest, fights for our interest with the sellers, and takes care of things quickly so that we don’t lose our dream house. Carrie met every expectation and then some, her creative ideas helped us to get our home. I’m not sure we’d have gotten it if it weren’t for her. She’s a gem.

Carrie is THE BEST. My husband and I were referred to Carrie when we were moving to Seattle in December of 2012. She took the time to meet with us and explain to us the best neighborhoods and a little about the Seattle real estate market. Being from New York and Carrie originally from New Jersey, we knew we were in great hands because she could relate to how different the Seattle market is from the east coast and she translated our house hunt around this. However, she’s been here for over 10 years and follows the market trends very attentively. I was very impressed. I never felt «tricked» — all the advice she gave us in 2012 held true.
At the time, we were not ready to buy, but kept Carrie’s name as I knew we’d work with her eventually. She gave us great advice on where to rent and we truly loved our neighborhood.
When the time came to buy our house in 2014, she was the best we could have asked for. I never thought that I could wholeheartedly trust a real estate agent but dealing with Carrie, I felt like I was getting advice from our parents, grandparents, good neighbors and friends put together… that is how objective, helpful and trustworthy Carrie is.
Carrie knows her neighborhoods, knows the market and she is professional beyond belief. She answered my calls day and night, weekends and weekdays. She answered and fully explained every single question I could possibly have and did it with the utmost respect and professionalism. She is sooo patient and kind, but also knowledgeable and beyond helpful. She always has a great attitude and was never not able to accommodate our very busy schedule. That is just amazing. And the few times she did not pick up the phone, I never had to wait longer than 1 hour to get a response (because she was with other clients.)
We found home buying to be EASY — truly! She helped and gave us every tool to have the most competitive offer and got us into our dream home in 28 days (because she also recommended the most amazing lender, Cornerstone.)
We were in amazing hands with Carrie and you will be too.

We recently relocated to the Seattle area. We didn’t know anything about the area, let alone the housing market. We had a lot of unique requirements with a somewhat tight timeline.
Carrie is the ultimate professional with extremely deep knowledge of the market. She is also extremely patient with us. We actually looked at pretty much every house on the market in our price range. We ended up buying a house that we looked at 4 times before we decide on it. Not only that, she always does the above and beyond to help us out. Even after we bought the house, she would help us with contractor scheduling and even drive my wife to the house to make sure the work can be done before we move in. Without her help, we would have even more scrambling around to deal with.
While we were looking around, she would give us advice on some things where we wouldn’t have thought of. These are subtle things that may not quite meet our requirements, but if we end up with the house, they could be potential issues.
I would not hesitate to recommend Carrie for any real estate transactions. You can’t go wrong with her and I doubt you’ll find a better agent.

Carrie Pierce is the best real estate agent ever. She is kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable about the current real estate market.
Throughout the whole house buying process and after she was available and responsive.
I count myself and my family lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her and cannot wait to work with her again.

If you want your home SOLD or looking to BUY call Carrie Pierce! She clearly understands the market and can close your deal. She has sold 3 of our homes and just purchased a new home. Carrie is involved from the beginning to end even after closing for any help you need! … I. e, Contractor, plumber, interior designer to even a Nanny — the right choice is Carrie Pierce.

My husband and I were truly amazed by how many times Carrie stepped in to ‘go the extra mile’ Her area knowledge, willingness to communicate and listen combined with her thoughtfulness and poise made each step in the process as easy as it could be.
We feel very lucky to have worked with her.

Moving from a small community to the Seattle area was quite daunting for us. As first-​time home buyers, too, we had a lot of questions about the process. We were so happy to have Carrie as our agent. She listened to what was important to us in a home and neighborhood and helped us find a place we truly love. We couldn’t recommend her more.

Carrie is the picture of professionalism. She has a deep knowledge about the nuances of real estate, which will work to your advantage when you least expect it. She is one of the most detail-​oriented people I have had the pleasure of working with, and she is ALWAYS immediately responsive to any form of communication. We had used two realtors prior to Carrie, and the quality of her outstanding service was evident immediately.
Carrie’s expertise helped us navigate mediocre offers and advised us to wait for our final great offer when we sold our home. From the pricing, staging, photography and mailings, Carrie handled the marketing of our home as though we were her singular, highest profile client. Carrie handles herself with poise and genuinely cares about her clients, while being a tenacious business woman who thoroughly knows her field.
Carrie is patient and fair and provides wise counsel. By the end of our process we were literally just asking her what she would do since we came to trust her to such a degree. We will be using Carrie for any future real estate transactions, without question, and we recommend her highly! An unexpected advantage of working with Carrie was access to her professional contacts, which she has vetted over the years, which were all high-​quality.
My husband is as picky as they come, and twice during our process he could be quoted as saying, «Damn, she’s good.» The highest form of praise he will give!

We were referred by my husband’s company to use Carrie Pierce as our real estate agent. After we moved to the Seattle area, my husband and I were initially lukewarm about buying a home because we lived in a pretty nice apartment in Ballard. However, during the summer, we both started to look on
to survey what was out there. Even though we were initially just curious about the housing industry, we called up Carrie to show us a couple of houses that we liked in particular. No matter how far the house was or what time we could meet, Carrie went the extra mile (literally) to try to accommodate to our schedules and looked for a house that met all our criteria. In each house showing, she seemed neutral like and outside observer, giving us insight into the particular property. She was never pushy about us buying a home.
When Carrie was unavailable to show us a home, she still accommodated by having her assistant, Jenny to show. Jenny was also really nice and super helpful, willing to show us any properties that we wanted to see. We were interested in buying one property but the floors were crooked. Both Carrie and Jenny never pressured us to buy the home. In fact, Carrie encouraged us to continue looking, even though we were close to closing the deal.
We finally found the perfect home and Carrie gave us all the helpful suggestions to win the home since there were multiple buyers. She really gave us sound advice from her professional expertise on becoming a competitive buyer. After we won the bid, we ran into some troubles with our mortgage broker who was really shady. Funny thing was that Carrie had advised us to stick with our initial broker but we decided to switch at the last minute because the other guy was giving us a better interest rate. Big mistake not to take her advice. The guy we found couldn’t close on time. Long story short, he didn’t communicate to us all the documents he needed and kept reassuring us that we would be able to close on the set date. After THREE extensions, he finally was able to close.
In the meantime, we were homeless because we thought we could move into our new house so we gave up our apartment. We had to pack all our things into a UHAUL and move into a hotel. During this time, we were uncertain about everything because the sellers were getting upset with us and we weren’t confident that he could close the deal. We were super nervous that we would lose our earnest money. Carrie held our hand throughout the entire debacle. She always made herself available to talk about our current circumstance and advise us on what our options were. Whenever we called, she was super responsive. This entire time, she was very professional and strategize the right plan to handling the broker, other party’s real estate agent, and sellers. We really appreciated that she not only was super helpful but always advocated on our behalf in protecting our best interest. She is really good at what she does and we’re super grateful that she was our real estate agent. Despite our crappy circumstance, she helped us navigate through it all and now we are living in our beloved new house. Thank you.

We LOVE Carrie!
We called Carrie casually asking about a house for sale on our street. We weren’t really looking to buy, but she offered to sit down with us to learn a bit about the process. She put NO pressure on us to use her as our realtor, but when we decided to start looking, we didn’t think twice about choosing her.
Well…we now own a home we are in love with… and the entire process was enjoyable! She was patient, available (all hours of all days of the week), and let us guide the process.
We were very tentative and nervous about buying a home. Carrie helped us understand the process until we felt comfortable.
More than anything, I was thankful that she never put any pressure on us in the process. She even pointed out reasons not to buy houses we were looking at! We trusted her.
We now are ecstatic homeowners and would recommend Carrie 100%! We are so thankful for the experience she gave us.

Carrie is easily the best realtor I’ve ever worked with!
We were moving up to Seattle from Texas and were referred to her by Amazon as someone who could help with our home search. We had a whole 3 days in Seattle to find a neighborhood and house we wanted and get everything signed before we had to head back to Dallas so we needed to get our weekend planned out before we got there.
We talked over our criteria with Carrie, and she sent us a ton of recommended houses, plus I looked up a ton online as well. Carrie personally went and visited EVERY SINGLE HOUSE we were interested in and sent us reviews on them. It was amazing and incredibly helpful! There were tons of houses that looked good online but in person were clearly not for us so it was so great to have her go weed out the definite no’s so we didn’t have to waste our time doing it!
We found our dream house, and Carrie was great the whole time closing, etc, worked with the bank, other realtor, and stayed really on top of things. She’s absolutely fantastic and I’d recommend her to everyone!

Carrie Pierce is the kind of Realtor you would send your mom to. She is extremely hard working, ethical and honest. She doesn’t disappear after a sale but is your Realtor for life. She keeps you informed on the market and how it affects your real estate investments. I cannot recommend Carrie highly enough. A real top notch Realtor.
