Heather expertly did all that was necessary to sell my house in a short period of time. Heather is an excellent realtor; extremely smart, talented, and professional. She worked tirelessly to get the job done. Heather is also very kind, caring, and funny, which made it a pleasure to work with her. I highly recommend Heather Lavin.
Description of Work: Heather sold a property I owned.

We interviewed three candidates before listing our home in Laurelhurst. All three were recommended, and highly competent agents, but Heather's commitment was clear from the start. We liked her emphasis on integrity (in an environment where that quality is sometimes lacking!). Heather accepts only one or two listings at a time--because she spends a lot of energy on each one. She has excellent taste, and knows how to show off the property's best features. Some of her suggestions required time and effort on our part (we moved about 1/3 of our furniture to our new place; we repainted a couple of rooms; we purchased new towels and a couple of new fixtures; our house was already very clean, but we got rid of LOTS of clutter), but she was not apologetic about urging us to complete these tasks before anyone saw the house initially. She constantly made contact with other agents and prospective clients through mailings, postings on her website, Craigslist, interoffice email, and other means, changing the postings weekly so that they didn't look the same every week. We have, over the years, bought and sold 17 houses, so we have dealt with over 30 agents. Heather is the best! In this difficult market, she did a fabulous job, selling our house in two months. And I want to add that this was the first time I could say that I had fun doing it! Heather brings intelligence, knowledge of her field and Seattle real estate market, style, professionalism, and a great sense of humor to the job. She clearly loves what she does and it shows. We paid the market rate of 6% total commission; the $21,000 listed above represents the 3% that Heather earned (and splits with her agent of course), as the buyer's agent also received 3%. Heather's portion was definitely money well-spent!
Description of Work: Found comps (difficult for our house and a falling market), initially and continually reviewed market data, contacted other sources, then proposed a listing price for house. Along with the professional whom Heather paid herself, analyzed our furnishings, suggested changes, updates, then came to help with these. Ordered and oversaw the photographs of our home for marketing purposes. Held numerous, lively open houses for other agents, our neighbors, and interested parties. Composed frequent reports of interested parties. Communicated often regarding interest in the property. Anticipated solutions to possible selling problems. Negotiated the purchase/sale process. Gave great, honest, forthright, professional advice and understanding support throughout process of the sale.
