First time home seller. Doug was very realistic in what he thought I could sell my house for as it had unique features that limited the type of buyers. It sold quickly once the price matched with what was selling. Doug made the process easy.

Doug is very helpful and friendly. His attention to detail is very good and we had a very good feeling always while working with him. He helped us to find and purchase a condominium in Seattle and assisted in all manner in dealing with the condominium association problems and requirements.

Doug is a fabulous real estate agent. We were initially very casually looking for a new home and had a time-frame of months to a year, as we wanted to find the right house at the right price. Doug took us to see dozens of homes but never pressured us to decide on location or time-frame. When we did find the house we wanted, he was a steady voice who guided us through the entire process, providing reasonable and sound advice on making an offer, guiding us through inspections, bringing a contractor to take a quick look at the house to determine how difficult any renovations or later additions might be, and providing calming reassurance during ridiculous interactions with lenders. We even ended up choosing a different lender at nearly the last minute and he didn't flinch. He also does his homework--he called the neighbors in the area we decided to buy to determine noise levels, looked up schools and gave us printed reports on the neighborhood, and generally went the extra mile. He was always prepared when he showed us a property. Definitely call Doug if you are looking to buy a house!

Doug was our realtor when we purchased our Wedgewood home in 2004 and again when we sold the same house in 2010. The market was bustling in 2004 and we put in several offers on different homes in the area before buying our house. We were impressed with Doug's knowledge and timeliness in the negotiations and paperwork necessary to move quickly to get an offer in. Afterward, Doug became a great resource to us during our homeownership - helping us find quality services and answering questions we had as first time homeowners. This was above and beyond the call of duty, something that we appreciated of Doug very much. The housing market in 2010, when we decided to sell our home, was a difficult time to be selling. Doug helped us price our house in a way where we were able to sell quickly and yet meet our pricing expectations. While selling the house we lived out-of-state and we appreciated Doug's willingness and ability to find people to make repairs to the home as well as manage those repairs. Doug is very personable, knowledgeable, and hard-working - not only a great resource, but simply a great guy. We can only hope to find a relator like Doug in our new state; it's going be tough to fill his shoes!

Doug has been my agent with the two properties I have purchased, and I have been very impressed with the job that he did each time. He is easy to work with, knowledgeable, and makes the whole process very smooth. Doug was more than willing to take me to look at all the properties I wanted to see and was great at noticing details about them that I would never have noticed: things like neighborhood, condition of the property, and what (if anything) should be expected when it came to maintenance or possible property improvements. He was open and communicative about the negotiations and buying process, so I never felt like I didn't know what was going on or where I stood. The price on the last place was not particularly high so I'm sure he had some bigger deals in the works, but you would never know by the time he spent and care he took to make sure I got a place that I wanted at a price that I was happy with. I recommend him to my friends & co-workers, and will definitely work with him in the future.

Doug was my realtor for my first home purchase. He really took the time to understand what we were were looking for. By taking us out and sending us gentle reminders of what was out there, we were able to figure out exactly what we were looking for. When it came time for putting in an offer, he was helpful but in the end let us decide what the home was worth to us. Doug is great in that he shares his opninion in helpful ways to get a real feel for the condition of the homes you are looking at. We also had a bit of a rocky time with the selling agent, but he patiently worked through the deal despite lack of responsiveness on the sellers part. I highly recommend Doug as a buying agent and would use his services in the future.

I can't exclaim enough how Doug helped us through a very difficult process, walked us through all the scenarios and got my in-laws house sold just as everything shut down for the pandemic. He answered all of our questions, was there any and every time we needed him. If you are selling or buying a house I recommend Doug for any of your needs. HIRE THIS MAN ASAP!

Doug is one in a million! Straightforward, honest and a great asset to what can be a daunting and often frustrating process of buying/selling a home. With his 25 years experience, Doug is adept at assessing a given market and house and provided effective negotiation strategies to close the deal. We intended to buy a fixer-upper. Having Doug there was invaluable -- he could quickly assess a house, the associated repairs and provide estimated repair/improvement costs. Whether it be roof quality, siding repair or carpet replacement costs, the information Doug provided on the fly helped inform our bidding and negotiating strategy. Doug provides exceptional client service. He is an excellent communicator and maintained an open and candid dialogue through the entire process. We ALWAYS felt like he was on our side and had the utmost confidence in his ability to advocate and negotiate on our behalf. Look no further for a realtor - Doug is the guy for you!

"We learned about Doug through a referral from a friend of ours and we couldn't have been happier working with him. We contacted him a year before we were ready to move to discuss our plan and ,overtime, asked a lot of questions. From the beginning he was timely in responding and thoughtfully  answered our myriad questions. He came to our house on several occasions to meet with us, long before we were ready to list our house. We really appreciate the time he took with us. Once we were ready to list, the process was seamless and this was because Doug was on top of all the details. Doug has a wealth of experience and clearly knows the realty business. We highly recommend Doug to anyone in need of a listing agent."

Our family is seeking for various residential properties for long-term investment in Seattle area, and we are lucky to have worked with Doug since the beginning of this process. Doug is a dedicated real estate agent with a vast knowledge of the local market and understanding of investment strategies. Doug found this duplex which meets all of our investment criteria. He performed property inspection on our behalf to ensure there was no hidden problem. His assessment was accurate, detailed and timely for us to make the purchase decision. The bidding process was competitive with no less than five offers. Doug advised us with the right purchase price to acquire the property to beat the next best offer by just $5,000. With his help on the paperwork, we were able to close this transaction quickly. Not only taking us through the purchasing process but he also helped us find a perfect tenant to lease this place. We were very picky, and he had to show the property multiple times. I would recommend Doug to anyone who is looking to buy residential properties in the Greater Seattle Area.

Doug was the agent that helped us with the purchase of a bank owned condo. He was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, and very quick to respond to all our first time buyer questions. He spent a lot of time with us, showing us a variety of property options and was really interested in finding us the right fit.

I would absolutely use Doug again to buy or sell a house. I was introduced to Doug pretty late in my house hunting process, but he jumped right in and helped me immensely with what turned out to be a difficult process. My seller had some seller's remorse, and Doug's professionalism and assertiveness ultimately solved the problem and got me my house! Doug is a wealth of knowledge, and you can't go wrong working with him.

When I wanted to downsize, I hired Doug Holman as my realtor. I liked his honesty and professionalism when communicating with me. He never sugars coated anything, but he's not pushy. Whenever I needed an answer regarding a property, he was very prompt to respond. He listened to me, making sure I was comfortable to make a well-informed decision. Most importantly, his knowledge and experience in the real estate industry helped me save a lot of money. He even helped me beyond and above his role as my realtor when I desperately needed help.

I bought the first house Doug showed me – after I made him show me at least 6 more. I mean really, just because he took the time to learn about me: what I wanted, needed, craved, secretly hungered for in a neighborhood and home, why should I just blindly follow his advice? Because he’s good. Really good. He really listened to what I wanted, added what he knew I needed, and topped it all off with what was best in the short AND long term. Twelve years’ later, I’ve bought and sold other properties with Doug. I’m talkin’ multiple, here. And every time, he’s brought the same dedication, understanding, and bone-deep knowledge of real estate to the process. Not to mention his knowledge of me. He’s been right, every single time. Right enough that I send my friends to him. I trust Doug Holman, and you should too.

Doug makes the impossible possible. We have had the good fortune to work with Doug on two home purchases (investment properties) in the last year and he brings an incredible degree of knowledge, pragmatic strategic thinking, and most importantly EXPERIENCE to the table. Doug has seen it all and isn't afraid to tell you when you're crazy. In a rip-roaring market like Seattle having Doug Holman on your team is single best decision you'll make in the whole process of buying home. Doug has a no nonsense style, is a tactful negotiator, a friendly source of advice, and above all else he's honest. 11/10 would recommend.

I have worked with Doug on several purchases and sales of Seattle properties over the last 20 years including the purchase and sale of investment property including a duplex and triplex. He is professional, responsive and understands the market. He made my needs a priority and I will continue to use him for all of me Seattle Real Estate needs.

Doug was an incredibly knowledgeable, persistent, and patient agent! My husband and I were looking in many different areas of the Northern Seattle-area suburbs, and weren't entirely sure what we wanted. He helped us narrow down what we wanted, and what was important to us. In a very difficult and tight market, he was proactive and hustled to make everything happen. We could not recommend him highly enough.

When we decided to move to the Seattle area, we contacted a high profile real-estate agent in down town Seattle. After several months of looking a property we did not like, we decided to change agents. We found Doug Holman and are most happy with his services. Doug quickly realized what we were looking for, and found use the home we were looking for. We found Doug to be very patient, honest, a good negotiator and has a great sense of humor. Peggy and I would recommender Doud as Great Real Estate Agent.
