"Pragmatic Approach!"
As a first time home buyer, Doug inspired confidence in the hunt for a place to call home. Doug did not try to rush us or pressure us into settling on a house and was the first person to call out problems with a potential home. He even steered us away from a few houses that we initially liked but that would have caused us serious problems down the road.
"He is professional and responsive!"
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
"Doug is a true professional."
Doug is a true professional. Ultimately we had no idea where we were going to purchase a home. We had it narrowed down to both the 1-5 and the 405 corridor so pretty much any good neighborhood on the east side OR the west side. Doug was patient and knowledgeable, not only about the neighborhoods but also homes in general.
"Doug was really great on both counts."
Doug has been great to work with from day one. We plan to retire to the northern Seattle area and we wanted to find an investment property to start planting our roots. We were unfamiliar with the local market and we needed someone with a lot of experience not only to find us the right home,

"Working with Doug was an outstanding experience!"

"Doug is one in a million!"
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.
"Amazing Experience!"
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.
"I highly recommend him as an agent."

"Doug goes the extra mile to get the job done. "
Doug Holman did an excellent job in representing me in my recent purchase of a Bellevue home. Doug identified the property and helped me negotiate a great purchase price. This was extremely difficult because the house was a bank owned foreclosure property. After the difficult closing process,
"Amazing Realtor!"
Doug Holman’s the best.
He helped me with the upleg of a 1031 exchange. I’m in the process of selling some real estate I own in California and re-invest in the Seattle area. I sold a small apartment in California without realizing how tight the Seattle market was and would have had a bad result if Doug wasn’t there to help me.
"Experienced and Knowledgeable! "
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.
"Doug is the best agent out there!"
My Husband and I have worked with many, many agents over the years and Doug was the best one. We liked him because he is very personable without being too chatty. He was able to sift through a ton of information quickly and help us arrive at the best investment for our situation.
"He is very Knowledgeable, Honest and was very Patient"
I enjoyed working with Doug; he is very knowledgeable, honest and was very patient with me while I was looking for a new home. He explained everything every step of the way and made the whole process easy. This was my first home I'd purchased in over 25 years and he made it a great experience.
"Every time, he’s brought the same dedication & understanding."
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.
"An Invaluable Resource"
Doug was an invaluable resource during our home search and continues to be a huge help as we plan a major remodel in View Ridge. Relocating from Ohio, my wife and I didn’t know individual neighborhoods well or the amenities that came with, but Doug quickly got us up to speed, identifying the pros and cons of each location.
"Excellent Realtor!"
Doug made buying our first home easy. Unlike other agents we worked with, he never pressured us from the start -- or ever. He gave us a fair look at the pros and cons of each of the many houses we looked at. He answered numerous emails and phone calls promptly and consistently gave a running timeline of where we were in the process and what we could look forward to next.
"Committed and Professional"
We purchased our home from Doug in 2015 when were moving from Seattle. Doug always made us feel like we were his only client—he was always available for us and made time to address all our questions. Since we were moving from out of town, we were only available for showings at odd intervals,

It really doesn't get much better than Doug. I was a first time home buyer when I was working with Doug and he could not have been a better match for me. Doug was able to provide me with insight on things I knew nothing about and played a key role in making me feel 100% sure about my decisions.
"Highly likely to recommend"
When we decided to move to the Seattle area, we contacted a high profile real-estate

Doug quickly realized what we were looking for,
"Patient"
We approached Doug about purchasing a new home in Lake Forest Park roughly 4 years ago.

Doug was great at listening to my feedback about places that I did and did not like to hone his recommendations for me.
