Tyler McKenzie

As a first-​time home buyer I found Tyler on Unilocal.Tyler went out of his way to make such a stressful experience appear seamless. He was the third realtor I worked with, but the first to treat my home purchase as though it were his own, which compels me to become a Unilocaler. His initial phone demeanor (confident/​experienced yet laidback), his desire (not just willingness) to always work around my hectic work schedule and communicate however is best for me, whether it’s texting back and forth for bits of information or answering super basic questions time and time again to settle my nerves via phone, together make Tyler the go-​to guy for first-​time buyers. Additionally he dresses well which I feel reflects the seriousness with which he operates.

Working with Tyler has been a wonderful experience for my wife and I. He was always very responsive and his knowledge and insight into the Seattle real estate market was instrumental in buying/​negotiating a home in this crazy market.

By the time I found Tyler, I was exhausted from the home searching. I first started about 3 years ago when the market was really good for the home buyers. I had some bad experience with a short sale that had left me feeling frustrated. I was looking for a professional, experienced real estate expert, who understands the value of step by step communication, who understands that I have my own taste and my own point of view and my own time line. I got everything I was looking for when I hired Tyler. Not only that, he is a Short Sale expert and has impressed me on more than one occasion when we were negotiating and drafting offers. He does not like to waste anyone’s time, and that is very important to me. I highly recommend Tyler, you won’t be disappointed!

In the last two years, Tyler has helped four other couples we know find the home they LOVE, so when it was time for my husband and I to start looking, there was no hesitation, we turned to Tyler.
Seriously, if you or someone you know is looking to buy or sell a house, contact Tyler McKenzie and let him work his magic to help you. Not only is he experienced in the field (check out his designations and affiliations at the site below) but he will offer you insight into what you should be looking for and honest answers about your options.
We weren’t buying a million dollar mansion, so it certainly wasn’t the money that led him to treat us well, it’s his love for the work and dedication to helping folks find the home of their dreams.
I can’t stress how appreciative I am for his guidance in helping us find our first HOME.

As first time home buyers, we came to the home buying process with a lot of enthusiasm, but no experience. We learned about Tyler through the recommendation of our mortgage broker who simply said that he was fantastic, and that they had a perfect closing record with him.
When we first met Tyler we were not sure what to expect. Was he going to be a teddy bear and hand holder who guided our every step? No. Tyler has more tiger then teddy bear in him. He is an uncompromising professional who takes this business very seriously, and asks his clients to do the same. He went above and beyond to make sure we were always making well informed decisions. Tyler has assembled an amazing team around him to make sure his clients are well taken care of at every step, from inspection to escrow everyone seems to be at the top of their game.
Once we found the perfect home, Tyler helped us make all the right decisions to put ourselves in the best possible position to get the house. He worked tirelessly through the offer and ensuing bidding war, but never pressured us to go past our comfort zone. He just asked us to realistically look at how much we wanted this house. In the end his advice paid off, and we got the house.
We highly recommend Tyler to anyone out there looking for their first home… or their next home.

When I started the short sale for my home in Shoreline, WA at the end of March 2011, I was referred to Tyler McKenzie by my long time real estate agent who was not familiar with the short sale process. From the moment I started working with Tyler, I felt completely respected and comfortable with him, as he understood all aspects, including the emotional, financial, and business sides of the process.
Tyler is a very thorough and detailed agent. He brought me through my short sale in only 4 ½ months with an insurmountable amount of expertise and insight. I ended up wanting Tyler to take the lead and I relaxed into his judgement, allowing the process to happen. I was never sorry! I would give Tyler a ¹⁰⁄₁₀ and definitely say if you are considering a short sale, or rather anything in the real estate market, he is the BEST agent! He will put your priorities first and lead you to your goal.

I was introduced to Tyler through a mutual friend of ours when I was looking to purchase a home very last minute and needed expert trustworthy, diligent and very professional real estate help. Tyler came through — and then some. I felt very assured and confident that my interests were taken care of, that Tyler didn’t need me to PM him because he was already on the ball, and I could relax and let him walk me through the home purchasing process (and it was my second time through it).
Here’s the kicker. At the time of my home purchase, I had accidentally sprained BOTH my ankles (yes, literally, both ankles, sprained badly, long story) — and was very immobile. Tyler walked my dog a couple times, and (the best part) even literally hand carried me into the signing of the papers and escrow, too (because I could not walk). Yes — now that is commitment.
Recently, when I was considering doing a refinancing on my home, Tyler was quick to respond to my inquiries and did a market analysis for me, too. He’s not only about the dollar signs and sale — and as a result, a real meaningful friendship has grown over the past five years I’ve known him — from events, to parties, to business introductions, to meeting significant others, and checking out cool new eateries. He’s played an important part of my life — and will continue to in the future. Loyalty, trust, and respect are key values you’ll find with Tyler.

Do you want a home? Do you want honesty, integrity and experience? Do you want stellar recommendations for lenders and home inspectors?
Then you want Tyler.
He has made our first townhome purchase a total breeze. Tyler gets what you want without forcing you to do anything you don’t. He’s a whiz at getting it all done in a timely fashion — and he’s with you every step of the way.
If you want a home, you need Tyler. Enough said.

Tyler McKenzie is a consummate professional. His advocacy for his clients and integrity should be the benchmark by which all real estate professionals are measured.
As a mortgage broker, it is essential to know you are working with an agent who will work with you as a team to create a successful transaction. When my borrowers are represented by Tyler, I know they are in good hands.
Working with Mr. McKenzie is always a delight.
