“Merritt and Emily did an amazing job helping us both buy and sell our condo in the Wedgwood, Seattle area!They are responsive, communicative, and knowledgeable agents. It was both our first home purchase and sale when we worked with them and they walked us through each step and made sure we understood all the ins and outs of each offer we received. We were sad to move out of the Seattle area because we would have loved to keep working with them forever! They are the most friendly and wonderful people and truly the most knowledgeable and experienced agents! Highly recommend!””
“We have worked with Merritt and Emily now three times, twice as buyers and once as sellers.They are so nice, responsive, and insightful, and each purchase has gone smoothly; our most recent purchase was our biggest by far and we were prepared to not get the home due to multiple offers, but we got it! We have referred friends and relatives their way and plan to keep doing so. We plan to stay in our current home for a very long time but should that change, we’ll go right back to the Hess team! Strongly recommend them!””
“My husband and I recently purchased our first home in Seattle using Merritt and Emily. We ended up putting in one offer and it was accepted!They were so helpful to us as first time home buyers- explaining each step of the process, extremely responsive, patient, and available. They helped us create a competitive offer that is needed in this housing market. After our offer was accepted they worked very closely with us and our mortgage lender to make sure we closed on time and there were no issues. I’m very grateful to Merritt and Emily for their hard work on our behalf, and even more happy to be moved into our first home!””
“Merritt and Emily are both fun and high energy. They constantly communicate during the whole process, answering every question with expertise.We recently bought our second home with the Hess team. They are fantastic! After buying for the first time in Seattle, we were ready to upgrade and so appreciative to work with the team again. Merritt and Emily are both fun and high energy. They constantly communicate during the whole process, answering every question with expertise. We trust them completely and I don’t know what more you can ask for than that! Thanks, Hess team!! We love you!””

They helped us understand the market and set our expectations realistically, which made the crazy emotional process of buying our new home so much easier. It’s clear when you work with them that they know what they’re doing, and they’re also just all-around good people so you know they have your best interest in mind throughout the process. They definitely are not the type of people to ever pressure you into something that isn’t right, but they did an excellent job in helping us give places we normally wouldn’t have wanted to look at a chance. One of those places is the home we’re in now! Highly highly recommend!””

“Whether you are a first time buyer or have been through the process many times, Merritt and Emily will meet and exceed your home buying/selling needs.”
Emily and Merritt helped us sell our house in the midst of extremely challending circumstances. They made the process an absolute breeze from start to finish. From our initial meeting and all the way through to closing, their professionalism and genuine care for our home and family was obvious. They took the hurdles out of our way and much of the heavy lifting off our plate. I can’t imagine having been treated better by any agents in town. Their teamwork and experience is unprecedented; from suggesting home improvement resources/contacts to staging and online presentation/marketing and all the way through to review of (multiple) offers. They were so comfortable and confident to work with. I will continue to recommend them to all my friends, family and acquaintances, and I look forward to working with them many times over in the future. Whether you are a first time buyer or have been through the process many times, Merritt and Emily will meet and exceed your home buying/selling needs.”
“What a fantastic team! Merritt and Emily were extremely professional and helped me quickly find my dream home.What a fantastic team! Merritt and Emily were extremely professional and helped me quickly find my dream home. As a first time buyer, there were so many things that I didn’t know about. The Hess team showed patience and helped me connect with local professionals for services that I wouldn’t have ever viewed. These two are incredibly well connected and are extremely pleasant. I can’t thank Merritt and Emily enough for the work that they’ve done. We had to make a hard decision very quickly, and the experience of the Hess team gave me the confidence to make the right decision. Check the other reviews. These two are amazing, you won’t be let down!””

“We were very fortunate to work with Merritt and
Emily during our first home buying experience.We were very fortunate to work with Merritt and Emily during our first home buying experience, which ended up spanning over a year. After we first met them, we actually put the house search on pause to focus on our wedding - and instead of forgetting about us which would have been easy to do, the very day after the wedding Merritt was congratulating us and getting the ball rolling again which we greatly appreciated. Merritt & Emily were both very knowledgeable about the areas/neighborhoods we were looking in, as well as the properties themselves. We were completely confident in their expertise and heavily relied on their feedback and insight. They were also very responsive, available, and easy-going which was crucial in an otherwise very stressful process.””

They’re both extremely professional and knowledgeable while also being fun, friendly and easy to get along with. From the start they seemed to understand exactly what we were looking for, and they showed us a variety of homes that fit those needs. Once we found the perfect place for us, they fought to ensure the seller’s agent was aware of our interest and our story. We believe that the open communication line established by the Hess team is what led to the seller choosing our offer (in a competitive situation). After our offer was accepted, Merritt and Emily helped us through each step of the escrow process and even introduced us to contractors to do new paint and carpet before we moved in. The team approach they take made us feel so well taken care of throughout the process. They were both there most of the time, and occasionally either Merritt or Emily would make sure we were still a priority even when the other one had schedule conflict come up. Overall, we had an amazing time working with the Hess team. We would highly recommend them to anyone.””
