“We partnered with Scott and Stephanie on a couple of different occasions, including when renting our home and also when selling it. Of all the agents we’ve worked with in the past, they are at the top of our list. They were always available when needed and made continuous efforts to go above and beyond in everything they did, even when it was outside their scope of responsibility. They are high caliber professional experts, easy to work with, and were always looking out for our best interests. We’d definitely partner with them again in the future and highly recommend them!”

“Working with Scott and Stephanie was an amazing experience. These two have a wealth of knowledge that cannot be matched anywhere in the greater Seattle area. They not only successfully helped me purchase a home in the competitive Seattle market, but they got it closed within two weeks and walked me through every step along the way! They are incredible.”
— VIKTORIA MEYER
“Scott and Stephanie will be our real estate agents for life!
As first time home buyers we knew little about the process and wanted to make sure we worked with agents we could trust. From the moment we contacted Scott and Stephanie, we could tell we were going to have a great experience. They did a wonderful job sourcing homes, scheduling tours, and providing us with in-depth market analysis. After each tour they would go back, run the numbers, and let us know their honest opinion on the value of the home. They were dedicated to finding the RIGHT home for us and weren’t focused on a quick sale. We worked with them for 5+ months in an extremely difficult market. Throughout the entire process they were communicative and responsive. If I sent them a text or gave them a call I would have a response within minutes. Whenever we wanted to tour a house they would make time to do it that day. They have a special ability to make you feel like you are their only client and all the attention, focus, and effort is on the purchase/sale of your home.
When it came time to put an offer in, we knew we had the right people going to bat for us. Their level of experience and knowledge of real estate transactions is unparalleled. They kept us informed and updated throughout the entire negotiation process. Because of their efforts we were able to land our dream home in one of the most challenging and competitive real estate markets Seattle has ever seen. We cannot thank them enough! ”

“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Scott and Stephanie three times now on both the buying and selling side (including, most recently, at the same time!).
Just recently, we had a quick timeline in mind and Scott jumped straight into action immediately, helping us with all aspects of purchasing a new home on Whidbey Island while simultaneously selling our home on Mercer Island. No job was too small and Scott advised us on several tricky aspects for both properties at once — coordinating repairs, movers, inspections, negotiations, and more — as well as personally ensuring we stuck to our timeline even when a major snowstorm threatened to intervene (by “personally ensure”, I mean it, he went above and beyond here!). Scott was genuinely passionate about all aspects and I enjoyed nerding out with him a bit on the geological features of our new Whidbey house. The result was a seamless and stress-free process, with great outcomes on the purchase and sale prices.
I wouldn’t dream of going to anybody else for our future real estate needs — Scott and Stephanie are an absolute dream to work with.”
— J. DUFFY
“Scott and Stephanie were fantastic to work with. They offered wonderful advice and clearly knew the area very well. Scott understood what we were looking for and our price range, and respected these criteria. He and Stephanie were always available and when they found a listing they knew we would enjoy, it was sent along, posthaste. When the right one came about, Scott was available 24/7 and advised us on the offer most likely to be accepted. It was and we are so thrilled! He and Stephanie are personable, down to earth, kind and intelligent individuals, and together they are one amazing duo. We appreciated their expertise and their professionalism immensely. We will certainly ask for Scott’s real estate advice again in the future when the time comes.”
— ANONYMOUS
“Scott represented us as sellers. He helped us with the entire process, evaluating how best to prep the house for sale, where to price it, and had all the contacts necessary for all contractor work, cleaning, gardening, photography, and more. We were remote having accepted a new job, but with Scott’s help, we prepped and listed our home from cross-country, and accepted an offer for full asking price in less than a week. The experience was an absolute home run, and Scott made it as stress-free as possible.”
— A&E LUKE
“Scott is a broker beyond compare who brings a level of expertise and experience that is tailored exactly to the needs of each specific deal. He is calm and laser-focused on making sure that we get the best deal we can get. It is such a gift that Scott has taken the time to get to know us and can easily sift through options helping us to narrow down what is best for us. We have done two deals with Scott in 18 months and would not consider using anyone else in the future. He is ethical, professional, exceptionally qualified and has a great sense of humor. So grateful that we have Scott in our corner.”
— C&R LORENZENI
“I highly recommend Scott. He is highly knowledgeable about small details that can have a big impact, and he brings a business-oriented perspective in understanding how to get the job done for his clients. Scott provided a high-touch support for us over several years in finding the right waterfront home. When we found the right home, he made the deal happen in a very competitive market situation through smart financial approach, detailed execution, and well-planned negotiation (I don’t think we would have been able to buy the house otherwise). After the sale, he worked with us on hiring builders to make the right improvements, and made the sale of our old home easy. Of course, he provided some humor along the way.”
— BENJAMIN HARTMAN
“We have used Scott to sell our house and buy our house THREE times. He has exceeded our expectations every time. He is professional, knowledgeable, communicative and most importantly, honest. We HIGHLY recommend Scott. You will not be disappointed.”
— MITCH & WENDY MOUNGER
“Scott was our realtor on both the purchase and eventually selling of our great home. New to the PNW, we appreciated Scotts deep knowledge of the greater Seattle areas, and this knowledge was significant in landing the perfect property. Once it came to sell, Scott brought us multiple offers in under two weeks. Great to work with.”
— STEVE & KARIN LOVEJOY
“It was a pleasure working with Scott, his professionalism and follow-up were beyond reproach. We have recommended Scott to both friends and family.”
— MARK & NANCY BEACH
“From the moment we contacted Scott Richards to sell our home he was in complete control of the process. He quickly and diligently lined up the pricing, photos, staging and had our home presented in the most favorable way possible. He personally hosted every showing putting the time in that was necessary to do the job right. Once the sale took place his attention to detail was outstanding. He took us through every potential option and pitfall and we were prepared for every eventuality. It was truly a turnkey experience for us at the highest level.”
— LANCE & SUSAN LOPES
“Scott was fantastic is helping us navigate a very complicated listing and sales process. His understanding of local market conditions is excellent and his recommendations proved to be 100% accurate.”
— STEVE & LAWTON PENN
“Can’t say enough great things about Scott. He was assigned to us as part of a corporate relocation and we still can’t believe our luck. Scott listened to what we wanted and let us take our time in evolving our wants/needs. He didn’t rush us, but when it came time to start looking at properties, he made sure he knew more about the property than we would have ever expected before we saw it. He pointed out little things that we would not have thought of. Scott also did a great job of keeping us informed through the offer and negotiation process. But it did-n’t end there. Scott has continued to stay in contact and help us with our post-close move. He simply goes far beyond what we’ve ever experienced from a realtor before. (It also doesn’t hurt that the guy has a wicked sense of humor.)”
— TRAVIS DODD
“Scott made the process of buying our dream property a reality. Through his professionalism and negotiation talents we were able to purchase an incredible home. Scott exceeded our expectations of a realtor by keeping us continually updated on negotiations, helping us work through inspections and even crawling around the land looking for any kind of a deal breaker. He was always honest with us and kept our interests in the forefront. We couldn’t have been better represented in making such an important investment.”
— KAREN & JOHN LOESER
“Brilliant! Scott has become a trusted asset over years and several transactions, always ensuring that our best interests are looked after. I know that when we have any concerns related to buying or selling property that Scott listens and understands our needs, wants and objectives. We have always been extremely impressed with the unique marketing plan for each property and attention to detail. Simply wonderful to know that Scott means and does what he says.”
— MARK & AMANDA CEBULL
“When it came to locating the right home for our family, the easiest decision was which realtor to work with. The choice was simple: Scott Richards is by far the leading expert on Mercer Island and Eastside properties and homes. His dedication and understanding of our needs, industry knowledge and genuine attention to detail and negotiation skills made the search and finally the purchase a pleasant experience for us. We highly recommend working with Scott and his team to anyone looking for five star, above and beyond realtor service.”
— JIM & KATERINA GARNER
“We were given the names of two realtors by our relocation counselor for our move from the Bay area to Seattle, Scott being one of the agents. After speaking with both agents, it became clear Scott’s personal approach and involvement were exactly what we were looking for. In all of our house-hunting trips up to Seattle, some of them planned last minute, we were never farmed out to an assistant or co-agent; Scott always took the time to personally show us properties and neighborhoods he thought would work for us. The result was an unbelievably smooth offer process and escrow, and a home we absolutely love in the perfect location. We will happily pass along Scott’s name to any colleagues or friends considering a move to the Seattle area. And should we ever have to move (which we hope doesn’t happen!) Scott would be the first phone call we would make.”
