Trevor Smith, Designated Broker

Trevor was just completely awesome. As you may know, we spent 6 years trying to get a home in Seattle and Trevor was with us that entire time. He had our back when we lost houses, in home inspections, in getting a good lender, in the bad years when we couldn’t get a loan. I knew he was always just a phone call or email away. We really relied on Trevor and knew that we would eventually win a house with his help!

Trevor helped us buy our home in an extremely competitive market. With limited inventory in Seattle, there were multiple offers on the house, and he helped us craft a competitive offer that won us our dream home. Throughout the process he was patient, helpful, and always available. Even post-sale, he is responsive to any questions I have. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic agent!

Trevor made our home buying and selling process as stress-free and fun as it possibly can be. He was easy to communicate with, quickly and thoroughly answering all of our questions and concerns. He navigated the transactions efficiently and effectively, guiding and helping us when needed. Best of all, he did all of this while genuinely treating us like people, instead of a sale. I was very impressed with Trevor and his services and would highly recommend him.

We sold our old house and bought our new house through Trevor. We could not have asked for a better Realtor than Trevor, we feel really lucky that we found him. He sold our old house for more than we thought we could, and got us more out of our new house than we planned. Here are some of his attributes: -Hard working -Very knowledgeable -Paperwork/process pro -Knows his numbers, he is very intelligent -Honest, trustworthy -Very responsive to questions -Respectful -Easy to work with -Diplomatic -No pressure, easy-going -Good sense of humor -Has clients' best interest in mind, instead of looking for a quick sale You will not find a better Realtor than Trevor. Highly recommended.

We would highly recommend Trevor to anyone looking for a real estate agent. He was patient with us as were were looking for a very specific house and location. He had a good eye when viewing houses, pointing out the good qualities and the bad qualities of the house. He was very knowledgeable with the strategies of making an offer. When it came to sell our house, it was obvious he had our best interest in mind, he helped us get the most out of our sale. He communicated with us through every step of the buying and selling process and answered all our questions along the way. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

We just completed the sale of our home using Locality as our sellers agent. Trevor made the process a breeze from start to finish. He made himself available whenever we needed him, and he was extremely proactive whenever complications arose. Most importantly, Trevor delivered fantastic results - our home sold quickly, and for well over our listing price. Trevor was a pleasure to work with and I can recommend Locality without reservation. Thanks Trevor, we'll look forward to working with you again in the future!

Trevor was our agent on a Bainbridge Island purchase. I've been around a lot of agents and hands down Trevor was what I look for. Main thing is he understands the process thoroughly and explains it to you. He saved me a ton of money and made some pointers that even a hot market saved me over $30k! Highly recommended.

My wife found Trevor through a friend who is a loan processor. Trevor helped sell our first house and buy our second. In terms of selling our house, he outlined what we should do to get our house ready for sale. Even in a hot Seattle market, we wound up selling for 10% more compared to a very similar property. In terms of buying a house, his knowledge of our preferred neighborhoods was phenomenal. It was not about matching up our budget with whatever houses were on the market at that time, it was about finding the right home for our family. He was responsive, honest, and I felt was looking out for us, rather than his commission. He advised against buying certain homes, patiently working with us until we found the right home. Our experience with him could not be more different than it was with our first realtor.

We can not recommend Trevor Smith highly enough! We have just finished selling our home with Trevor, closed yesterday, and the entire process was amazingly seamless because of him. We live out of the country and Trevor handled every detail of getting the house ready to sell and once listed, sold the house in less than a week. He is extremely efficient, professional, and honest, all wrapped up in the same person! He is a delight to work with, always getting back to us quickly with answers, contractors, etc --- all this when dealing with us overseas and a 9 hour time difference. Do yourself a favor, the best call you will make will be to Trevor. You will not be disappointed!

Trevor Smith was great to work with. He almost always picked up the phone when we called him and if he didn't he called us back promptly. He worked quickly and efficiently and this allowed us to compete successfully for our new home. We saw a home on Redfin at 10:00am, looked at it at 1:00pm and had an offer in the next day and it was accepted. Trevor knows the market conditions and what it takes to "win" a great house in a prime area. Thanks Trevor!!

Working with Trevor (along with his team of James Garner and Bryan Haynes) was a wonderful angst-free experience. I decided to list my condo unit with them, and it all proceeded in record time- a matter of days actually -- photos taken, listed, showing/opening arranged, (all dealings with the condo staff in harmonic fashion) - there were a couple of quick offers - negotiations went quickly and smoothly on one of them. Escrow closed early. It wasn't till everything was wrapping up - that I realized I had never actually met the trio on my team. (all was done long distance via phone) But they made it seem as though we were meeting daily and kept me informed constantly of everything that was needed. Straight shooters. No surprises. I go the price I had in mind and it could not have gone any smoother. Highly recommended.

Trevor is the best. This was my second purchase with Trevor. He always has my best interests in mind and goes above and beyond my expectations with regards to responsiveness, coordination with the buyer's agent, and answering and following up on any questions or issues.

The only downside is that the house I bought needs to be torn down. I asked Trevor to please recommend a good arsonist, and he told me that would be illegal. Looks like I'll just have to burn it down myself...

We have bought & sold several houses through the years and I can say, without a doubt, Trevor and his entire team at Redfin are head & shoulders above all other agencies! It really was a complete team effort, I believe I worked directly with every member of the team at least once and they were all incredibly helpful & professional. They were also very patient with us at the start while we tried to ready the house for the sale. I believe I delayed the listing 2 or 3 times, causing us to start 30 days later than we planned. I never felt pressure from Trevor or Lucretia, rather I felt their support right from the start. It was all worth it and we sold our house for asking price on the day we opened the offers. I highly recommend Redfin and especially Trevor & his team.

Trevor was very courteous, professional, and responsive. Even when dealing with a buyer and buyer's agent who were slow to respond, and the buyer's finance situation being difficult. Trevor helped us see the deal through, keeping us well-informed every step along the way, and ultimately getting it done. Thanks Trevor!

Trevor was great! He helped us save money by not hiring a stager and gave advice on how to
remove items or decorate as a stager would and I feel our house looked great with our efforts and Trevor's tips. He also helped us decide on a selling price based on the recent
changes in the market and we received an offer within 2 days and were able to close
within 1 month after listing. He was always very responsive to phone calls and emails. His
associate, Bryan, was also great and a pleasure to work with. Together they offered
great service. Trevor was out on leave for a few days between our offer acceptance and
the closing and he left us various contacts that answered our questions so we never felt like we were left waiting.
The only negative experience in the sale of our house was with regards to the open house
events, which Trevor did not host. We expected 2 things from the open house events: 1) to receive timely updates/summary of the open house so we could adjust anything if needed prior to the next open house and 2) the house would be secured up with all doors/windows checked and locked after the open house. We had to solicit the update/summary from the Broker that hosted the open house events instead of receiving the summary soon after the open house. When I did end up contacting her, we didn't have any time to adjust anything in the house (fortunately there weren't negative comments but this info should have been summarized right after the 1st open house) . On the 2nd open house we came back after being gone several hours after the open house had finished to find our back door not just
unlocked but wide open. Fortunately nothing had been taken but it was extremely unsettling to come home to this especially since we still had personal items in the home. As I mentioned above, Trevor had not been the hosting agent at either open house (it was
one of the Redfin Brokers). We called Trevor and he sincerely apologized to us and said he
would talk with the Broker. She ended up leaving a message apologizing about the incident but it definitely left a sour taste in our mouth.
Overall we feel we would recommend Trevor to a friend or aquaintance but would inform them about the open house mishap and recommend they they not have this specific Broker at their open houses based on our experience.

This was our first experience with buying a home and Trevor made it a wonderful one! He
could not have been more helpful and understanding. I felt comfortable asking him even the most stupid questions and he always took the time to make sure we understood what was going on and what we needed to do. He is so professional and on top of things I really felt relaxed knowing that we were in good hands. He responded to calls and emails very quickly, even on the weekends. If he couldn't make it to an appointment he would make sure that another Redfin agent was there and I had some equally wonderful experiences with them as well (shout out to
Kahlil Mathews and Valerie Zenos!) I wouldn't hesitate to call Trevor again or to recommend him to my friends and family.

This is the 3rd transaction and 2nd sale we have done with Trevor & RedFin and we have nothing but high praise for him (and his team). This was by far the hardest of the 3 transactions in regards to issues within the condo unit itself and financing strategy with the less than 50% owner occupied condo complex. Trevor provided great support and advice during the process of prepping the property and then when it came time to list/sell, he was steadfast and optimistic especially after the first offer on the property fell through. We've always appreciated his calm, pleasant demeanor and shrewd insight. Excellent communication and follow through also. With this being the last property we have to sell and our own residential situation settled, we are sad to not be able to work with Trevor any time soon but will enthusiastically recommend him to any friends or family who
need a good realtor.

Trevor has now walked us, step-by-step, through putting an offer on two different homes. Unfortunately, in this market, we haven't won either offer. But, we feel like Trevor guided us expertly and knew how to make our offers as competitive as possible, while still strongly respecting our needs. He is very easy to work with, always pleasant and patient, always available to listen and give opinions, and will clearly explain each aspect - even if you've asked about it for the tenth time! We will definitely keep hunting for the right house and we know Trevor can help us win out in this tough market.

If I could rate Trevor higher I would! His is AMAZING at his job and his advice saved us untold amounts of money. After looking at over 100 houses and submitting multiple offers the house we ended up purchasing was a unique transaction. (The house layout was tricky, there were multiple renters in the house, and our closing did not go smoothly because of the bank.) But Trevor handled everything with professionalism and grace. Thank you Trevor and the entire Redfin team - you guys rock!

Trevor was definitely an advocate for me. He and his team were professional, they actively kept me informed throughout the buying process, and were always pleasant and upbeat. Trevor was able to get the seller to contribute to closing costs, maximizing the 3% credits allowed by my lender.
Thanks Trevor! Thanks Kyle, Valerie, and Brandi!

We were always told to resist falling for a house. In this case we couldn't, so we were
very aggressive with our offer based on Trevor's advice. We conducted a preinspection and sewer scope to ensure there weren't going to be any expensive surprises. We then waived our inspection contingency and added an escalation clause to strengthen our offer. This was our second time buying a house, so we were fairly familiar with the process and actually only met him face-to-face for about 10 minutes though we had many phone conversations. He was always available to answer questions and his extensive knowledge of the surrounding market enabled
us to feel confident about our offer. Him and his team were very responsive and completely
took care of all the behind the scenes work. He even got the close date moved forward so we could move in over the weekend. We couldn't be more thrilled with the new home and neighborhood. Redfin's refund is great for both buying and selling and they have online tools that bring visibility into the process, outlining all steps involved and a checklist of tasks to close on time. We'd recommend working with Trevor if you're looking in the area.

Trevor was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and thoughtful throughout our home-buying
process. No question was too small or too dumb, and he even helped seal the deal by taking a coopful of chickens that came with the house, since we couldn't take them on. With his advice, we felt our bid was calculated just right to win our new home.

We were first time buyers, and initially contacted Robin McCue. Robin held our hand through out the initial stages of our house hunting and was extremely patient and helpful with our lack of experience. With Robin's we placed an offer to our first house, and she helped us navigate the bidding for this house. Robin's comparables and insight helped us in determining the house was slightly overpriced, these and other shortcomings finally made us decide against the house.

When it came to 4465 Brygger Dr House, it turned out some other clients of Robin placing an offer on the house, and that's how we came to work with Trevor. Nonetheless we would like to give props to Robin for all the work she did for us, and if it were possible we would give her another 10 alongside Trevor's.

Trevor helped us navigate the competing offer scenario successfully , in a very honest and patient manner.

Our timing was also affected by the birth of our first baby, we were initially worried this would interfere with the house purchase process. It was not the case at all. Trevor and Matt Johnson (@ Sterling Bank) were extremely efficient and accommodating given the closeness of the baby's due date.

The overall process was very smooth, and far less traumatic than we had anticipated. Along the way we were informed of every step, and treated with care and professionalism. I will not doubt and recommend you guys to all my friends. Go Redfin!
Thanks

Trevor is a true professional. He did such a great job of guiding my husband and I through our first sale. He gave us great advice and insight on our listing, his team was flexible and organized. There was an issue with cleaning and staging that could have postponed our target list date, but Trevor reacted quickly to reschedule the photographer and managed to pull it all together with his team to work within the contracted timeline. Another agent accidentally lost the key from our key box and within an hour Trevor located the keys and notified the other agents to ensure the keys would be promptly returned. This is our second successful close with Trevor and he has consistently provided us with sound advice and solid support with follow through every time. I strongly recommend him as an agent!

My experience purchasing a home with Trevor and his team was fantastic! As we did the final walkthrough, I joked that I felt like I should be stressed buying a house, but wasn't because everything was on track and went smoothly. Trevor was able to answer my questions about a variety of concerns honestly and knowledgeably. Also, he provided excellent guidance to make sure that all of my home inspection concerns were addressed without creating any red flags for the lending underwriter. I highly recommend Trevor and am so appreciative of the work he did to help me acquire my dream home!

Amazing to work with, he was incredibly helpful the entire time answering all of our questions and making us feel at ease with the process. Even after the sale he offered to help resolve minor issues proving that it isn't just about the sale but more importantly, about the relationship. Couldn't have hoped for a better first time buying experience.

Trevor was extremely honest and helpful throughout the process of buying our home. He advised us to walk away from the first home we made an offer on due to a poor inspection, which we greatly appreciated. This honesty is the real benefit of using Redfin and Trevor is a shining example. He ultimately helped us find our home for a fair price and we love it. Thanks Trevor!

Trevor's an absolute Pro! My wife and I were first time home buyers and luckily we had Trevor as our agent. He is the nicest guy, yet an incredible negotiator. He explained everything about the buying process so it was easy to understand and was able get us a screaming deal on our home. Redfin was great for us because we felt like we knew what we were looking for in a home more than any agent would and we could tour houses on our own terms quickly. I felt like I was never pressured and when we found the house we loved Trevor was right on top of everything. He answered his phone every time I called with a concern and was always calm and collected. He knows the market. He can read the sellers and predict what we can and can't get away with in the negotiations. He is extremely patient and dedicated to you so you feel like you are his only client. Redfin is changing the real estate industry because of customer service focused agents like Trevor.

Trevor is excellent. He brought his experience to the table in every aspect of our home purchase. He also has a very professional and calm demeanor, which made our first home purchase an excellent experience. I would recommend Trevor to anyone we know who is looking for a home in the areas he services.

Trevor was attentive, prompt, and timely. His followthrough was similarly prompt and thorough. I was dealing with my sale while residing abroad, and Trevor kept me well apprised of the progress of the sale and ensured we moved swiftly to close without any issues. Best realtor I've worked with to date.

We came to Trevor and Redfin after a bad experience with an agent who lost track of details on contracts and was a poor communicator. So we were looking for someone who could take the time to answer questions, talk us through strategies, and who we felt we could trust with the details. Trevor is that person! He is so thoughtful and absolutely takes the time to answer any questions and talk through multiple scenarios and strategies. Being new to real estate, we had so many questions about how the process worked and how to proceed with timing of viewing homes, crafting competitive offers, when to do preinspections, etc. etc. Trevor was patient, kind, and genuinely interested in helping us find the right house. We also felt totally confident with him representing us in negotiations. We highly recommend him!

Trevor was excellent. Very responsive and knowledgeable in what turned out to be a very competitive environment. We prevailed, and everything else went smoothly. He's been a big help since close too, tying up all the remaining loose ends etc. I'd definitely recommend Trevor and will be starting with him if I need Real Estate advice or help in the future.

Trevor made our first experience with Redfin the best real estate experience we have had. He was prompt in answering questions, dealing with issues and we never waited more than 15 minutes for a call back. He helped us negiotiate an offer based pon his knowledge of the local market and really cared that we got the best deal possible. On the walk through, he helped us find some repairs that we would have missed. Trevor is a real pro!

Trevor and his team helped us sell one home (with much help from fellow Redfin agent Bryan Haynes) and buy another. It was a really wonderful experience all the way through, and we are a little bummed that it's over! Trevor knows the Seattle real estate business inside and out. We had a buyer and a solid back‐up offer for our old home within eight days! On the purchase side, Trevor helped us avoid many pitfalls and gave us the confidence to wait for the perfect house to come along. When it did, he helped us pounce on it and win against three other offers. The home we ended up with is beautiful, and far nicer than anything else we saw in our price range. We never could have snagged it without Trevor and the Redfin team. Thank you SO much!

I really enjoyed working with Trevor and his team. Trevor was a great partner in the offer and negations for my new house. He provided appropriate guidance/suggestions on how to handle a multi‐offer situation to help me get the house I wanted. Would I recommend him to a friend, absolutely, I already have!

I felt supported by Trevor and his team throughout the whole selling process and was deeply grateful for Trevor's hard work and communication, as well as the efforts of Trevor's well‐choreographed team. In particular, I was impressed with Trevor's negotiating skills, and with his ability to bring me into the process in a kind, educational, and empowering manner. Trevor went above and beyond in order to work within my timeline goals, and all details and questions I had were given thoughtful and respectful consideration. Professional, warm, thorough—Trevor is my first choice Real Estate Agent.

Trevor was very knowledgeable about the Wallingford market and what it takes to buy a home here. We were very green when we started working with him, and so we really appreciated his patience as he worked us through the buying process step by step. He was ALWAYS accessible, and we felt that we could call him anytime with any of our concerns. I never felt any pressure from him, and felt that we made a well informed decision when we made our final bid on our new home. Thank you, Trevor, for helping us get our dream home!

We spent almost 9 months looking for the perfect house. Trevor and his team of field agents were always there to support us in our search, never pushy or demanding. Because of Redfin's business model, we were able to see many more houses than a traditional Realtor would have been willing to show us. Once it was time to make an offer, Trevor provided a lot of help in terms of pricing and terms that he thought would make the offer more attractive to the sellers while still getting the house at the price we wanted. There were several counteroffers and amendments to the contract and Trevor's guidance was essential to our success there, as well. Overall, an excellent transaction! I will recommend Trevor to anyone I know who is looking for a home in the Seattle area.

Shockingly good. We got an offer for $5,000 over asking on the first day. This was due in large part to Trevor making great recommendations for getting our house ready to sell. He walked through the house with us and shared his opinion on what to fix, and hooked us up with an excellent stager. It could not have gone more smoothly.

Trevor was very responsive to all our many questions about the home‐buying process. He was easy to reach by phone and email 99% of the time, and he followed through on several outside inquiries to the selling agent, etc., in a timely manner. He was friendly, calm, and collected, even when the home‐buying process is sometimes stressful. Though I felt perfectly comfortable dealing with Trevor (and all the Redfin staff except the feild agents) strictly by phone and email, it would have been nice to be able to meet in person once. Overall, we had a very good experience, and are so thankful for his help!
