"Working with Doug was an outstanding experience!"
Working with Doug was an outstanding experience for our family as he helped to sell our elderly mother's home. Doug not only helped us with the details and framework of the sale, but he took the initiative to help us identity areas of the home that needed to be spruced up for sale,
"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 has been wonderful to work with Doug!"
It has been wonderful to work with Doug buying our condo and selling our house. Doug is a veteran in real estate. His deep knowledge in real estate, comprehensive approach and professional advise made our buying and selling very smooth. Doug also provided a lot of suggestions for us when we tried to remodel our other apartment.
"Trustworthy and Honest!"
Doug has assisted my wife and I with four real estate transactions over the last 18 years. We keep going back to Doug because we know he is trustworthy and not out for the quick buck. Doug has always been patient, given us his honest opinion on things,
"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,
"Willing to work with his clients"
Doug assisted me (as a buyer's agent) with my first home purchase in 1994. Unlike other agents who I considered using at the time, Doug was not pushy, and indicated his willingness to work with me even when I wasn't sure at the time if I was ready to buy then, or wanting to wait a few months.
"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.
"We can not give any higher endorsement of him. "
My wife and I were new to the area looking for our first house and were recommended Doug by a work colleague and friend. As buyers, we couldn't have been happier with the service we received. Doug was able to process the type of house we were interested in in the area we were interested in and show us only the houses that met our specifications.
"Competent Realtor!"
Having the help of a competent realtor can make a huge difference in the outcome; we worked with Doug Holman and we are glad we did!! In the midst of a pandemic, Doug came to our rescue when we found ourselves in a dilemma that all the equity we had put into a property over a lifetime might be completely ruined by property mismanagement.
"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.
"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 was an incredibly knowledgeable, persistent, and patient agent!"
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,
"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.
"HIRE THIS MAN ASAP!"
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.
"Knowledgeable and Professional!"
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.
"You will love working with Doug Holman!"
Selling my condo in a difficult market was challenging, but working with Doug was a rewarding experience. His extensive background in real estate and finance, combined with his intelligence, common sense, down to earth values, and sense of humor made the entire process so much easier than it should have been.
"He's a great communicator!"
When someone asks me if I know a good real estate agent, I always respond immediately with pure confidence and pride: Doug Holman. He puts you at ease right away. He's a great communicator, he LISTENS and he asks the right questions. After 20yrs in the business of banking and real estate he knows exactly what he's doing.
"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.
"Extensive Experience"
Doug has assisted us with the purchase of 3 houses and successful sale of
2 houses in the Seattle area. In each transaction we have benefited from
his extensive experience in the real estate business patiently guiding us through each step of the way to bring about very successful results.

"Highly likely to recommend"
As a client, my house-hunting process extended of a long period of time because I vascillated over a decision whether and when to buy. Doug was very patient and understanding of this process, and always was enthusiastic to "jump back in the game" with me in response to my email or telephone call that it was time to initate the search again.
"He is very knowledgeable, honest and professional."
My husband and I were looking for a house on Zillow, that is how we met Doug. He showed us a couple of houses and we really enjoy the service he provided. He is very knowledgeable, honest and professional. Any home buyer or seller would benefit from his work.
"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.
"Highly likely to recommend"
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"
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.
"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. Though it was a sellers market at the time, there were challenges but Doug helped keep the process moving forward.
"Patient"
We approached Doug about purchasing a new home in Lake Forest Park roughly 4 years ago. He was patient with us in learning what we wanted for our family, and the type of homes we were open to looking at. FOUR years!! Each time a home that met our very narrow criteria became available, he was responsive,
"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.
"Doug Holman is a PRO!"
Doug Holman is a PRO in every sense of the word. Great knowledge of the greater Puget Sound Area market, intuitive customer service, and trustworthy. Doug was very accessible, helped negotiate a great price and was helpful through the execution of purchase.
"Doug is a wonderful agent."
Doug is a wonderful agent. He helped me sell my house in N. Seattle in 2020 and I was very happy with the experience. I was referred to Doug by a family friend and I would absolutely refer him to anyone else. He's professional, empathic and very authentic. I also give him top marks for responsiveness and ability to negotiate.
"Professional and Assertive!"
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,
"Excellent knowledge"
Doug has excellent knowledge of the property holdings in the Seattle area, an accurate meter for gauging the true value of a home and seeing its potential, the ability to match potential properties to a buyer's interests and lifestyle, a great feel for the where there is and is not room for negotiation in the sales process,
"Fantastic Service! "
We couldn't have asked for a better listing agent to sell our home than Doug. He gave us fantastic advice on getting our house ready to sell, not only on what to change, bust also what not to waste our time and money worrying about. The photos he got of our house were so fantastic,
