Enrico and Britt, we absolutely LOVE our house! Thank you for always being available to us and for providing us with answers to our questions. You both made the buying process and our move to Seattle effortless, almost worry free and an enjoyable experience. THANK YOU!!

Barry made the process of being a first-time buyer as easy as possible. He was a fabulous help in all aspects. He even showed up at our signing appointment to assist if needed.

When I started my house hunt earlier this year, I was mostly a newbie with regards to knowledge of how the housing market works, and had pretty much no idea what to expect! I bumped into Chris at an open house, and he was by far the nicest, friendliest agent I’d chanced upon. I knew right away that this was someone I could work with. He not only offered his invaluable guidance and knowledge, but also genuinely cared about my preferences and requirements. He’s great at reading people, and the most surprising moment in this journey for me was one afternoon while we were out touring a property, he said “I can see you living here. This feels like your vibe.” He couldn’t have been more accurate in his assessment. One week later, I got the house! There was absolutely no way I could have gotten that house if I didn’t have Chris helping me. In fact, there were 34 offers on the property. And our offer, which was a financed (not cash), was the winning offer! Although in retrospect, it sounds like a dream, it was anything but easy. The amount of time and effort and strategizing that he put into strengthening our offer was amazing.

One great thing about Chris is that he is always extremely honest about his ideas and opinions. I remember him telling me “I wouldn’t let you spend that much on that property myself!” when I was getting ahead of myself and trying to convince myself that I could afford a property that I probably realistically couldn’t. It was almost like he wasn’t just doing his job, he actually cared that I made the right decision for myself! Recently, when there was a slight issue with the early closing and a possible delay, Chris handled everything himself, and called me after to make sure I was aware of what was going on. Towards the end of the call he assured me saying, “Do not lose sleep over this, I’ll do it for you.” When you hear something like that from your agent or anyone for that matter, you know you’re in good hands. So, long story short, if you’re looking for an agent who knows everything there is to know about the market, who truly cares about you and what you really want, who has the negotiation and strategizing skills of a genius, you know who to call! I wouldn’t work with any one else even if they paid me to.

Barry made the home buying process easy to understand, stress-free and fun! He went above and beyond to help us purchase our first condo. We will highly recommend him to others in need of a Real Estate Agent! Our baby even loved him!

Enrico, you’re the best. Every day when I walk into my new home I thank the people that made my dream of owning a home come true and you are the person who is mainly responsible for it. You put so much time and energy into helping me purchase my condo and I will appreciate this forever. Thank you!

We appreciated the outstanding service provided by Chris Kallin of SeattlebyDesign. We purchased our home after a few intense weeks of searching the Seattle market. Our recent move to the city threw some wrenches in the process, but each time we changed the parameters of what we wanted —from downtown, to West Seattle, to the Eastside, and finally Lower Queen Anne— Chris made it work. He spent time chauffeuring us around the city. His smile and kind words of encouragement to see “just one more” paid off for us. After one long day (of many), freezing cold and ready to call it quits, Chris inspired us to see the one last place. We now own it. Thank-you. We highly recommend Chris. He is accommodating and has great first-hand knowledge of the Seattle market.
