Emily made the entire relocation process seamless.

I recently had the pleasure of partnering with Emily Cressey, a top-notch Seattle real estate agent, to help our mutual clients relocate from Everett to Spokane. Emily is handling the sale of their Everett home while I supported them on the purchase of a new property here in the Spokane area. From the beginning, Emily was incredibly organized, communicative, and client-focused. She made the entire relocation process seamless for our buyers, helping them inspect and prepare their home for sale in Western Washington, so it would be aligned perfectly with their timeline for moving East. Her knowledge of the Seattle-area real estate market, especially Everett, was instrumental in preparing and pricing their home effectively so it would sell quickly without overspending on repairs. If you’re a buyer or seller looking for a dependable, experienced, and collaborative realtor in Seattle to help with your relocation, I highly recommend working with Emily. She’s a fantastic agent and a great partner in helping families transition smoothly across the state.
