"Doug makes the impossible possible"
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 is a fabulous real estate agent."
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.
"Extremely Knowledgeable"
If you are looking for a house in the North Seattle area, I highly recommend contacting Doug Holman. He stuck with us through the process even after we walked away from a house at the last minute. We started back at square one and he didn't give up until we were moved in and settled.
"Very Impressed with the service!"
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

"Doug is very responsive."
Doug was my buying agent on both of the homes I've purchased. The things I like about Doug include:
1. I never feel any pressure from him. It's objectively how I feel about the house + any input I ask from him and if we look at 10 that day and I don't love any of them,
"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.
"Highly likely to recommend"
Doug took our house just after the housing crash and urged us to ride out the down swing by renting. He told us when the market was hot and how to get the house in order and prepare it for sale. Within a week of listing we had multiple offers and a buyer was selected based on Doug's recommendation.
"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.

"Highly likely to recommend"
After interviewing 4 "top" agents in the area I chose to list my house with Doug Holman for 2 reasons - his non 'sales' approach and pragmatic approach to getting the house on the marketing and maximizing the sale.
