Barry was our buyer’s agent. He was terrific to work with. He took us all over Seattle to show us various neighborhoods since we just relocated. We’d definitely refer friends to Barry.

Chris was great at navigating me thru the home-buying process. As a first time buyer I had no clue of many of the processes that needed to be done and he was always very patient when explaining things. He even went out of his way to help me understand the loan terms, insurance terms and so on.

He was very proactive communicating with me and made sure all other parties such as escrow, lenders and sellers were fulfilling their duties in a timely manner.

I think my best experience was this one time I saw a house I liked, on Sunday morning, and he immediately drove there to take a look in order to have a good idea of how to handle the negotiation as well as build rapport with the listing agent. This exceeded my expectations since we had not arranged any time together that day.

In the end we went with a house that was off-market, and Chris did a great job helping me get it with the benefit of having no competition.

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.

Chris made the process easy to understand and stress free. He was available to answer all my questions but answered most of them before I even knew to ask. He was very personable and supportive through the whole process. I believe his knowledge and direction resulted in better than average results (117% of asking price)!

Chris is the ultimate professional. I was looking for an investment property from long distance, that had to meet a certain criteria, and he worked diligently to present me with suitable options. After visiting a few properties I had selected, he gave me his honest opinion, and we continued until we found one that we both agreed would work for me. He guided me throughout all stages of offer, purchase and closing seamlessly. If you’re looking for a reliable, consciences, hard working professional, I would highly recommend him.

Thanks, Enrico, for your diligence in helping me secure my dream houseboat! You truly went above and beyond, and I appreciate it. People looking for a home on the water would be well advised to seek your services as you are someone with the expertise and determination needed. Best of luck!
