For Buyers

"Brent is everything one looks for in an agent. He helped us buy our home after months of looking. He knew exactly what we wanted and needed, probably before we even did, to be honest! We moved to Seattle a year ago, and we have a young child, so we needed someone like Brent who really knows the area, schools, etc. He really was on top of things, sent listings as soon as they became available, always responded promptly to my emails, and showed us homes at whatever time and day was convenient for us. We saw so many houses, I was starting to get discouraged, and a few times I even thought maybe our “wish list” was unrealistic. But Brent was so cool and calm, he urged me to be patient and not to settle; we would find our home, he was sure of it. This kind of confidence can only come with the years of experience he has. His knowledge and understanding of the real estate market are vast. There was a house or two that my husband and I kind of liked, and after looking for so long, we wondered if we should make an offer even though it was at the very top of our budget. When we asked Brent what he thought, it was obvious that he had our best interest at heart when he’d say something like, “Well, I think it’s a bit overpriced.” Perhaps another agent would have just seen a higher commission and told us to go for it. Oh, and by the way, he was spot on when he thought a house was overpriced; sure enough, we’d see it sold for considerably less than the asking price. He also has a great knowledge of house structure and remodeling, etc. Ultimately, it was his insight that helped us see the potential in the home we made an offer on and purchased. Yes, it needed a little work, but even with remodeling, we have our home for $100,000 less than our initial budget. It suits us perfectly, and we have Brent to thank for it. Our experience with Brent was exceptional; he goes above and beyond what is necessary or expected."

"Of course, Brent is the go-to guy for the area. Not only is Brent great to be around, but his attention to detail is impeccable. Brent knew what we were looking for very quickly, and he indeed found us the perfect home. He is always prepared, early to showings, and if I ever emailed him, I knew there would be a quick reply. His follow-up is outstanding, which is so critical in this market. I absolutely recommend Brent; he will not let you down!"

"Brent found us the house of our dreams. Wait, scratch that: we didn't even know we could dream of a house as amazing as the house that Brent helped us find. But let's start at the beginning. We found Brent through a web search for Seattle real estate professionals when we were researching our move to Seattle. His website was great (always a good sign), so we gave him a call and told him what we were looking for. Brent emailed us listings that matched our criteria, and we made an appointment to meet him in person and look at a couple of the homes. At the first home, we quickly realized just how competitive the Seattle real estate market was and how quickly we'd need to act to get the house we wanted when, as Brent was showing us the home, other couples were lining up for their viewings. Thankfully, Brent is lightning fast at emailing new listings and (here's where the 20+ years of real estate experience probably comes in) has a great gut sense of when an offer needs to be made and what the details of the offer need to be to give buyers a fighting chance in a competitive market. That first house wasn't the one. The second, third, and fourth houses weren't the ones either. Brent was patient as he showed us home after home, and in that process, really "got" us and what we wanted. That's how, when the house that is now our dream house, the one we're living in today, came on the market, he knew it was "the one" and told us we needed to see it ASAP. He was right, we made our offer, it was accepted, and the rest is history. All that plus Brent's just a cool guy, a good human being. We'd recommend him to anyone."

"Brent helped us find exactly the home we were looking for in West Seattle. As first-time home-buyers, we are so incredibly grateful that we had Brent working with us through this process. Everything was smooth and drama-free, exactly as we wanted it to be!"

"... my wife and I purchased a very special 90 year old craftsman style home in West Seattle to begin the next chapter of our lives as grandparents to our beautiful new and soon to be one year old granddaughter. Though we've been following Seattle real estate for over a decade, the new addition to our family gave us a spirited sense of urgency to be closer to our family, and we hired Brent Fosso of West Seattle Brokers in April of this year to help us. He was immediately easy to talk with and obviously very, very knowledgeable about real estate in general and West Seattle in particular. His knowledge, communication skills, patience, and ability to truly collaborate with us as we searched for that "right house" were simply amazing, and we will be forever grateful. We could not be happier, and my wife and I would strongly recommend Brent to anyone interested in purchasing or selling real estate in West Seattle. Thank you, Brent!"

"His knowledge of real estate in this area, coupled with his warm, patient personality, made the whole process enjoyable."

"Brent was amazing! We were first-time home buyers entering a red-hot Seattle market, and Brent helped us navigate a complicated landscape with lots of competition. We ended up getting a beautiful townhouse in a great neighborhood under budget!"

"... From the moment we spoke to him, it was clear he knew his "stuff". Brent understood immediately what we were looking for in a home, and we are so grateful for his expertise. He has a calming demeanor that puts you at ease and makes a stressful time in your life easier. He helped us find the perfect neighborhood and the perfect home for us."

"From the moment we made contact with Brent, we knew we had chosen the right broker! He was incredibly responsive, super knowledgeable about the West Seattle market (and homes in general), honest, and friendly! After hearing horror stories from friends who have recently purchased a home, we were a little nervous when we started the process. However, Brent had all the answers and walked us through every step with amazing clarity and detail. He always gave us his honest opinion and let us know when a house had some kind of issue. Brent also fought for us and negotiated a great sale price and repairs to be made by the seller. Given that this was our first time buying a home, we are shocked at how pleasant and easy the process was. We credit all of that to Brent!"

"... Brent was extremely flexible in working around our work and family schedules to show us houses at night and on weekends. He was also very responsive by phone and email when we had questions or wanted to see a house in a short period of time. Brent was knowledgeable about electronic signing practices too, which took the headache out of having to be physically present every time documents needed to be signed. We often saw houses with our 5-month-old baby in tow. Brent scheduled showings with plenty of time to take care of her along the way when needed (with feedings and diaper changes). As well, he showed us a variety of family homes in several neighborhoods - Magnolia, Queen Anne, Greenwood, West Seattle, to name a few. We weren't sure if we wanted a fixer-upper or a finished home, and Brent showed us several of both, explaining the pros and cons of each. He was very mindful of safety features and our daughter. Overall, we had an excellent experience working with Brent, who ultimately found us our family dream house. We would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a house."

"Brent was great from before the transaction until well after. We met him at an open house while just browsing. We told him what we were looking for, and he sent occasional updates with listings that fit our criteria. When we finally decided to pull the trigger, he was very thorough and made sure things were moving along as fast as possible. After we closed, a few issues with the house popped up, and Brent was very persistent with the previous owners and contractors to get them resolved. We would not hesitate to go with Brent again for the purchase or sale of a house!"
