Testimonials

"I have had the distinct pleasure of buying and selling three properties with Tony Meier. He has consistently provided me with excellent service from beginning to end. Tony has a unique way of making you feel like you are his only client when you are working with him. His attention to detail, depth of market knowledge and business savvy give you the piece of mind as potential buyer/seller knowing that you are in the best of hands throughout the whole process.

I was tickled pink at the maximized value that Tony helped me achieve on the sale of my townhouse in Woodinville. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about what a pleasure it has been working with Tony throughout my real estate investments."

" Tony came over to our home and went over through the entire process of what we would have to do to sell our home. My wife and I can't say enough good things about this man and the way he goes about his job. Tony took care of all the details even when little glitches came up during the process. If you are thinking of selling now or in the near future, please consider giving a call to Tony".

Frank and Margo Delbovo

"We had a cross-country move and Tony made sure we knew what was happening every step of the way! The move was tough enough by itself, but it would have been even harder without Tony's help. Thanks for the wonderful support Tony!"

"I can recommend Tony without reservation. I bought my house in Sammamish through Tony and 6 years later sold it. His advise in both cases was sound. We had no problem setting a asking price after consulting various data about recent home sales. More importantly for me was the service and help Tony provided during the sales process. I was in the midst of relocating to California and on several occasions needed things taken care of there in Sammamish while I was out of state. I was able to trust many critical details to Tony who handled them in a timely and professional manner. By the way my home sold in one day for an asking price much higher than I expected."

"I had worked with Tony before when he helped me purchase my first house. A couple of months later, I contacted him again, this time to help sell a property that my parents owned in Seattle. Our experience with the first agent we'd hired was very negative, and when I talked to Tony, I was happy to realize that his services weren't limited to the Eastside, and he works within a 20-30 mile radius, so he agreed to help with the sale.

After looking at the house, Tony recommended several things we had to do to make the house more presentable. He took care of these improvements by referring a contractor he's worked with before. The contractor gave me an estimate, took care of the repairs/improvements as promised, and about 10 days later, we put the property on the market again. In the 4 months that the property was on the market with the first agent, we'd received not one offer. After listing the property with Tony, we had multiple offers within a week, and accepted a full price offer shortly thereafter. The deal closed about 2 weeks after that. Overall, I can't think of a more positive and painless experience. Throughout the entire process Tony was his usual self, following up with all the necessary paperwork, keeping us informed and updated on all the details, and accessible whenever needed, right up until the closing day.

His goal is to establish long term relationships with his clients. Whether you're thinking about buying or selling, if you're in the market and looking for an agent, I'd highly recommend him."

"Tony was fast and direct. He treated us like we were his only clients. We liked the way he reacted with our multiple-offer situation. He was very competitive and on top of the offer."

Janice Alves and Marcelo Araujo

"Tony is not only a skilled, creative and successful professional, he is consistently warm and upbeat!. Tony really cares about the people that he works with."

Alan Donaldson, PLLC
Bellevue, WA

"We panicked when we couldn't find a renter for our home in Bothell, and after two months of double mortgage payments, decided we needed to sell. The problem was we had moved to Tucson so we weren't there to handle the details. Tony and his assistant Laura listed the house on a Friday, and we had a buyer by the next day. During the approval process, they arranged for small repairs and took care of dozens of little issues on our behalf. What could have been a nightmare turned out to be a stress-free home sale."

Bob and Pat McCord
Formally of Woodinville, WA

"From the beginning, I felt very comfortable, as Tony went over the entire process with me. I was very specific in what I wanted, and he never once tried to show me something that didn't fit my description. In fact, every morning, there'd be a number of listings in my inbox that matched my criteria, and then I'd usually give him a call, and we'd see the properties that I chose. It took us a while to finally find the right property, and throughout this time, Tony was patient, helpful, courteous, and always available. In fact, whether I sent him an e-mail or a phone message, I'd usually get a response back within a couple of hours.

After we found my ideal house, Tony took care of arranging for the inspection, the title company, and took care of all the paperwork that was involved in the transaction. From the day we made the offer until closing, he was on top of everything and always in contact with me to make sure everything was in order. I couldn't have imagined a better overall experience in buying my first house.

His goal is to establish long term relationships with his clients and I'd highly recommend him if you're in the market and looking for an agent."

"Just wanted to say thanks for all of your help with the purchase of my new home. I absolutely love it! I couldn't have asked for a better experience than working with you. I was telling a friend today that you made me feel like I was your only client. You were always available and willing to go that extra mile for me. I will never forget that. I will be sending clients your way. Thank you, Tony!"

Nicole Werner
Woodinville, WA

"Having never done this before, I can't think of anything that would have made it better. It was very easy and met, if not exceeded, my expectations. As a first time home buyer, I was nervous about the process and anxious about doing it on my own. Your helpful guidance and grounded approach made it easier than I ever imagined it could be! I want to thank you for the time you spent educating me about the process, for your "no pressure" approach and your genuine interest in making the experience a pleasant one. Your prompt response to my phone calls and emails was especially reassuring! You had answers to all my questions-from "how big was her couch?" to explaining the inspection agreements-I appreciated all of your efforts and your knowledge! I love my new condo and can't wait to make it a great first home. When the time comes to look for another, I would call you first (but I hope it's not for a while!). Thanks for all you do! I would happily refer to you anyone!"

Holly Michel

"We appreciated that you were professional in your transactions, made a number of good suggestions and helped us to sell our house rapidly. Thank you!"

Sonja and Noman Noor
Redmond, WA

"Tony, you kept us "in the know" every step in our transactions - you were a rock. You went way over our expectations (which are high) and made the whole buying of our wonderful home such a pleasure! Thank you!"

Morgan and Bill Miller
Woodinville, WA

"We had intended to meet with 3 realtors to pick one. You were the first we met with and we knew you were the one we wanted to work with immediately. That first meeting where you took the time to understand our needs and likes and dislikes left us feeling like "WOW! This is going to be a great experience".

You exceeded our expectations when it came to being our advocate: someone who was strong and wouldn't back down to pressure. We found that you gave us great guidance, not always what we wanted to hear but great guidance nonetheless. You gave us 150% when it came to service. We will tell everyone we know about our experience with you and will send our friends to you."

Kim and Eric Neufeld
Seattle, WA

"Buying a home from 3,000 miles away, on a limited budget, and in unfamiliar territory, Tony had his work cut out for himself when helping us find our home. He stayed in constant communication with us so we knew he'd be available for each and every question we had. While staying in touch with us he also gave us the space to make our own decisions without pressure. We are happy with our home and have enjoyed working with Tony and will recommend his expertise to others as well as use him again when the need arises."

John, Mindi and Abigail Nardella

We had so much fun at the housewarming party that you hosted for us. It was a HUGE success! My friends are still talking about the awesome food presentation. Mark and I not only enjoyed working with you, but we genuinely think of you as a friend. We'll be in touch and please use us for references anytime.

Mark Engbaum and Renee Korsmo
Renton, WA

"Thanks for making our first home purchase so fun and easy."

Lisa and Mark Pearson
Kenmore, WA

"I am quite satisfied with your service and how last minute issues were effectively dealt with, keeping the unwanted excitement level low. Calls were returned promptly and Tony was always accessible to answer questions or quickly deal this anything needed to keep the transaction on schedule. I would not hesitate to use Tony in the future and recommend him to anyone considering selling or buying real estate."

Art Tuftee
Seattle, WA

"We chose Tony after reading an earlier recommendation at Microsoft. Tony tailored house searches for us, which we received in our inbox every morning. He was very quick in replying to our requests for additional information on the properties.

"Tony showed us houses both in the Eastside and in Seattle, and he was knowledgeable on both areas, and was able to help us weigh the pros and cons of both areas. When we finally found the house we wanted, Tony was willing to give us advise on what to offer, but he did not force us to do anything we didn't feel comfortable with. He even offered us options we weren't aware of. I truly believe that we got our house thanks to Tony's calling the seller agent and being on top of things, as the seller's agent was very slow in replying and did not notify us that there was another offer until Tony called her a few times."

Once the offer was accepted, Tony was on top of things. He was very quick on returning phone calls, and on calling us to let us know where we were in the process. One of the things I really liked about working with Tony was that he never "steered" us in any one direction (He never said "you should live in the Eastside", or "do not ask the seller to fix that"), he always listened to our concerns, and he was able to give us advise whenever we needed it.

Some people say that buying your first house is a very stressful experience. I believe that Tony helped make this process a lot less stressful and even fun for us."

Laura Machado de Wright
Redmond, WA

"I appreciate the consistent professionalism, no-nonsense approach to negotiations, and conclusion of the transaction."

Jackson Mueller
Redmond, WA

"Tony worked very hard in helping to make our home buying process as easy for us as possible. He was, without fail, very quick with every follow-through and request that presented itself. The first session with him was a great learning experience as he spent a great deal of time explaining what we would go through and how we should handle various situations. The Windermere written materials were a wonderful reference that we frequently referred to when questions arose. Thanks for all your assistance!"

Robert Dalton
Bellevue, WA

"We just wanted to say "thank you" for all your hard work and help to us in buying our first new home. We are thankful to Melinda for referring you to us! We were very pleased with our experience and will recommend you with flying colors if we know someone in the market! We are really enjoying our new place and are pleased with our decision to buy it. Thanks again for everything Tony!"

Robin and Per Jones
Marysville WA

"Tony has been very helpful and informative in our search for a home. He is open to suggestions and takes our concerns seriously. We have been pleased to interact with someone who is very friendly, easy-going, and who also has a good sense of humor! Tony has made house hunting a pleasant experience!"

May and Mark. Sutherland
Bothell WA

"Tony Meier came to my attention through my employer, as he was the realtor who assisted many of our new employees with the purchase of their new homes during their relocation to Seattle. Because Tony was so successful in satisfying our new hires, I decided to have him help me buy my first home. Without a doubt, he is the most patient, smart and energetic realtor I have ever met. Very quickly I found the home of my dreams - so quickly did I make my decision that I think I made Tony a bit nervous. He truly wants every client to be happy and satisfied - without regrets! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tony to any first-time or experienced homebuyer. He makes the process enjoyable and hassle-free. I will continue to recommend Tony to our new hires and the next time I am ready to buy, I will certainly call on him!"

Karen Kohlhepp, HR Manager, Celltech Chiroscience, Inc.
Bothell WA

"I've known Tony for many years, almost since I moved to Seattle in 1993. When Maria and I decided to buy our first home, we called Tony. After talking with us and evaluating our needs and wish list, Tony assisted us in finding our perfect home in less than a week. What's more, Tony's professional contacts and knowledge of the market allowed us to close in less than 2 weeks.

Tony is a one-stop shop. Not only did he find us a competitive mortgage, but he also arranged for all of the necessary details - including the inspection. With Tony's guidance, we completed our home buying process from start to move-in within one month. Finally it was an enjoyable, painless experience.

If you would like to discuss Tony's skills, feel free to call me or Maria. I would recommend his services to anyone."

Scott Marlow and Maria Comstock
Seattle WA

Kathy and I enjoyed the home buying experience you provided us. This was our second home and our goal was a family home that is close to work. You were very well prepared with resources to search for homes in the area and in price ranges we requested. I enjoyed seeing the full use of technology from the electronic home searches you did for us to the e-mail and digital pictures. The thing we were most impressed by, however, was how you always did what you said what you were going to do, promptly. You treated us like we were your number one clients. Thank you very much.

Tony and Kathy DeBone
Bothell WA

When we listed our house with Tony, we had a full-price offer within 2 hours. He clearly knows the area, the business, the tactics, and how to price a house correctly. Even though the buyers were friends of Tony, we still felt that Tony was representing our interests as his clients. We recommend Tony without hesitation.

Matt and Sue McGinnis
Seattle WA

"We had only a week to buy a home and our friends thought were crazy. With Tony this process was not only possible, it was actually enjoyable! Tony was professional, on top of things, honest and a pleasure to work with. He was there every step of the way from the inspection to the closing. Even after everything was finalized, Tony kept in contact with us to make sure we were happy with the house and to recommend professionals and merchants in our area. Thanks Tony!"

Karen Staehling-Hampton & Howard Hampton
Bothell WA

"Tony Meier gave us better service that we could have imagined. From choosing the right house, in the right area, for our family, through all the paperwork and making sure we had settled in, he could not have done more. His help was especially valuable because we moved here from the UK and did not know the Seattle area at all. We cannot recommend him highly enough."

Susan and Nick McCooke
Woodinville WA

"Tony's advice on staging and pricing our home was extremely helpful and right on target. We would have been lost without his help in choosing the best offer from those on the table. Fortunately, no problems came up-but had we encountered them, we felt we were in capable hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Tony Meier"

Tony and Tina Monsaas
Redmond WA

"We found Tony to be a very good agent. He is very knowledgeable in all areas concerning a purchase or sale. He never failed to follow up on an inquiry we had. He was very patient as we viewed over 30 homes and were given information on over 100 homes for sale. Even after our purchase, Tony kept in touch and provided recommendations for professionals in the area. We found Tony very professional and would recommend him highly."

Robert & Martha Cottingham
Redmond WA

"Tony Meier is a great real estate agent. We can highly recommend him to anyone who needs a real estate professional. From our first contact with Tony Meier through the closing of our new home, Tony was an invaluable source of information, advice and help. Even thought he was not involved in the sale of our previous house, Tony Meier provided excellent advice and guidance. Tony Meier is insightful, knowledgeable and at all times professional. Acting as our agent he was dedicated, patient and exhibited a sense of humor which eased the tensions that seem to be inherent in real estate transactions. He was always available for quick advice and always had time to show us yet another house. As a Redmond resident, Tony Meier is in touch with local trends and information which is invaluable to prospective buyers in this area. Having been a real estate professional for some time, Tony Meier is extremely knowledgeable and used this knowledge to "smooth out" our somewhat complicated transaction. We have confidence that Tony Meier acts in his clients best interests. After our purchase closed, Tony Meier actually helped us move in and took care to introduce us to our new neighbors. He went well out of his way to make us feel "at home" and make sure we had all the information we needed about our new community. In summary, we can highly recommend Tony Meier to anyone who needs the services of a real estate professional."

Geoff and Norma Reynolds
Redmond WA

"Working with Tony to buy my house couldn't have been better. He knows what he is doing and either has the answer or knows how to find it. Tony was always professional and made sure things were done right. I would highly recommend Tony in your buying or selling a home."

David Monsaas
Woodinville WA

"We were very pleased with Tony's service. He would stop at nothing to aid us in purchasing our first home. No detail was overlooked and we were well informed and guided through the process."

Barrett & Lisa Teays
Lake Stevens WA

"Tony was always there for us when ever we had questions or concerns. The service he gave us was more than we expected from an agent. If asked to recommend a real estate agent, we would have no qualms in recommending Tony Meier. One would have to go a long way to find a more professional and dedicated team than Tony Meier."

Tom & Janet Miller
Anacortes WA

"Our home sold in 2 days and during this hectic period, Tony was constant in his detail. Even after all documents were legalized, he continued to facilitate any and all questions we had. Tony does not just "sell and leave". We recommend and appreciate Tony's attention to detail and thoroughness.

Ken & June Real
Kirkland WA

"We were impressed with the professionalism of Tony. He took care of every detail, making the selling of our house painless. Our house sold quickly and we believe it was due to the way Tony promoted our house.

Bobby & Ginger Terrell
Chehalis WA

"I tried another agent first and got nowhere fast! I called Tony and he got with the program and didn't stop until the home was sold. I felt I was in good hands. Thanks!

Darlene Von Millanich
Gig Harbor WA

"Over the years I have dealt with many brokers who were only looking out for themselves. With Tony I felt a sincere and genuine desire interest on his part for what was best for me. If I ever buy or sell a home again, I will call Tony Meier. With him on my team, I know I will get the best deal possible and in the shortest possible time. He is the kind of Realtor that can restore one's faith in the industry."

Jay Domenico
Redmond WA

"Tony, we really enjoyed working with you. The transaction was handled very professionally and you were always there when we needed you. Thank you!"

Bill & Barb Bovermann
Bellevue WA

"Tony, you were the perfect balance of not being overly pushing, yet staying in contact. I always felt like I was your most important client."

Nancy Lewis
Issaquah WA

Steve & Kathy Vincent

"Tony is fabulous! We met only once and he went to work immediately. Tony had the property sold and closed within 2 months! He is really a great to have on your side!"

Michelle Harvick

"Tony is a strong, experienced and hardworking real estate agent. He has a great sense of responsibility. During the whole process Tony worked through the problems with wit and grace. We highly recommend them to you if you want to sell your property."

Anna & Wei-Shih Ho

"He was always responsive to our suggestions and concerns. Good work!

Jose Riesco & Reyes Camino

"After 50 years of buying and selling houses, I can honestly say Tony is the best I've ever worked with. He followed through on everything and was always courteous. Tony is a true professional!"

Dorothy O'Dening

"It was a wonderful experience working with Tony. He was able to put the deal together against all odds. If it had not been for his hard work, persistence and enthusiasm, we would not have been able to sell our previous home and purchase our new home."

Ghafoor and Adeleh Toorani

"I was most impressed with your professional demeanor and frankness. Thank you!"

Dan Sessoms

"We were referred to Tony because we weren't satisfied with the agents we had working for us. There is no doubt that we were tough customers, we had a specific feel of home we were looking for. Tony really hung in there with us. During one sparse week Tony even knocked on the door of a house we liked, even though it wasn't on the market! It was only through Tony's perseverance, creativity and knowledge of the area that we found the house we are in. With professionalism and patience he guided us through the offer, the maze of paperwork and inspections, even the signing of the loan documents! Since then he has called to see how we're doing and how the house is changing. We even invited him to our wedding!"

Bob & Susan Weissberg

"Tony, I felt very comfortable putting my trust in you. You met all my needs and very effectively calmed my fears."

Bonnie Simms

"We have dealt with many real estate agents over the past 10 years, but none come close to Tony's honesty and integrity. These are two very important but forgotten qualities in people today."

Bryan & Tracie Deming

"We would like to thank you for assisting us in marketing our clients' properties. Foreclosed properties present special challenges to an agent. Your responsiveness to the needs of our clients has enabled us to maintain good client relationships and secure repeat business. We look forward to doing business with you again in the very near future."

Tom Darzes
PHH Asset Management Services

"Everything was done on time and you handled all the details. Great job!!"

Anthony and Jackie Rietkerk

"Tony's marketing advice was solid from the start. He kept us up to date on what they were doing, the market conditions and the reactions of the people viewing the home. When we received our offer, Tony did an outstanding job of representing our interests, and during the escrow period he handled details that went above and beyond the typical call of duty. The highest praise we can give him is embodied in this very simple statement: Tony did what he said he would do."

Michael & Carol Boss

"I found Tony to be very personable, easy to talk to, caring, ambitious and a go getter. He kept very up to date on the marketing conditions and helped me with getting people for repairs and what I needed to do to sell. I highly recommend him as he is an honest man of good character and he knows his business."

Gloria Palmer

"Thanks for all your work in selling my house. You did an excellent job in a terrible market!"

Don Gaynor

If you are serious about selling your home, then choose Tony Meier as your real estate agent today!"

Franklin & Laurie Ames

Julius & Gabie Chang

"We found Tony to be very professional & helpful in ironing out the messy details. We shall surely call on him for our future real estate needs."

Joyce & Harley Dow

"Tony showed us many properties in the area. He never hesitated to take the time to show us a property in which he thought we may be interested in. Tony always took the extra step to give us help and service, while making it a pleasant experience. We would not hesitate to use Tony Meier services again."

Brian & Alison Fogarty

"We were offered an opportunity to relocate to Boulder, Colorado. With Tony's expertise and guidance, we felt secure that while leaving the house vacant and being out-of-state, he would work aggressively to find a buyer for our home. Despite the distance and other obstacles, he was able to sell and close our home in less than 4 months. We highly recommend Tony for any and all real estate transactions. His knowledge and professionalism is unsurpassed! If we ever return to the area we look forward to doing business with them again."

Tim Flora & Susan Powers

"Tony Meier helped my brother Dennis and I buy our first home. We required a lot of help in getting our loan and locating a property that would meet our needs. Tony was there for us every step of the way. I will surely recommend him to anyone who wishes to buy or sell real estate."

Neal Fogarty

"Good communication and enthusiasm! Thanks again Tony."

Jay and Pat Jordan

"When I decided to sell my house, I called Tony Meier. He came to my house, gave me a price that he thought we could sell it for and we put my home on the market. There was much activity and it sold in 7 days for full price! If I was selling my home, I would certainly call Tony Meier."

Alice Butler

"We were very impressed with Tony's patience, honesty and integrity. Thank you!"
