What others are saying…

These First Time Homebuyers Were Referred By Other Buyers We Had Helped Earlier In The Year. They Used A Great Loan Program to Get A $17,000 Grant Toward Their Down Payment and Closing Costs.

First-Time Home Buyers begin their journey to homeownership & building their real estate empire at a young age.

“My wife and I were referred to Emily as our real estate agent when we bought our first home in Everett. She was insightful, thorough, and extremely helpful as we toured different properties, considered the possibility of a fixer-upper versus something more fancy, and weighed the options near school, work and the price. Emily let us set the pace and let us take our time, which made for a fun and more exciting experience. We actually got the first condo we made an offer on under contract but had to cancel the deal because of issues with the HOA. Emily reassured us that this was fine and an important part of the due diligence process. In the end, we were able to find a home we liked at a comfortable price point, and Emily negotiated for us to not only have an inspection (in today’s competitive market) but also to have some repairs done by the seller. We were so happy when the home finally closed. Even though it was cold and dark, Emily met us at the property with keys in hand to celebrate the move-in together. We enjoyed working with Emily Cressey as our real estate agent and would happily recommend her to others.” – Sam and Tran Webb

Testimonials

Emily Cressey was outstanding during our home buying process in a market not advantageous for the buyer.

Moses and Roxanne moved from Texas to Washington and found a house with Emily's Help.
These Buyers Were Looking For A Very Specific Type Of Home – And We Kept Getting Out-Bid. When We Came Across One That Was Under-Priced, We Made An Early Offer And Got It Under Contract For Less Than Other Homes Had Been Going For.

“Emily Cressey was outstanding during our home buying process in a market not advantageous for the buyer. She made sure that we went through all the list of priorities in what we were looking for in a home. Emily went to work researching locations/competitive prices… reaching out to sellers agent when we lost on a bid to figure out where we fell short. Always on time at home tours and a text/phone call away at each and every point .Emily has been wonderful with after home buying resources and l have found a realtor for life !if you are buying a home… she is the real estate agent you want/need by your side. Thanks @Emily Cressey” – Roxanne

Wonderful To Work With… Communicates Clearly and Promptly With An Eye For Detail.

As a property manager, I have worked with Emily managing and renovating one of her rental properties here in Ogden, UT and have found her to be wonderful to work with.  She communicates clearly and promptly, submits funds on time and has a good eye for detail.  She is respectful, positive and a pleasure to work with.  I wish all of my property owners were like her!

It’s not just about being friendly and having good communication. Her understanding, business approach, ethic and ambition to what needs to be done will assist her and you in being a success in Real Estate. Anyone will be lucky to be working with her.

Client Delights in Exceptional Service and Raves: A Stellar Experience!

“I am so glad I used Emily Cressey as my real estate agent to help me buy a condo in Everett, WA.

I had a specific time-frame in which I was looking to move, and Emily discussed the financing time frame so that we would make it work. When it came to negotiations, she did a great job, and we were able to get several concessions from the seller. The news of the seller’s acceptance came late in the evening. What a relief! Through multiple phone calls and emails, she even convinced the HOA to do some repairs on my behalf. Emily even went above and beyond, helping with the move!

I ended up getting a top-floor condo with a balcony and a dog-park where I could connect with my neighbors. So far, my cat and I are very happy. I am almost completely moved-in, and I enjoy being close to work & shopping, meeting the members of my new community, and planning for getting a dog of my own.

I love my new home and would highly recommend Emily Cressey to other home buyers, first time or not, who want to work with a responsible, communicative, and talented real estate agent who will listen to their needs, be respectful, not pushy, and help you feel like a VIP all the way through!”
