Testimonials: We want to earn your trust, too

I recommend this firm to anyone considering selling or buying real estate in the San Juan Islands.

Working with Monee was a great experience. She got us into our first home in a competitive market by being fast and professional. Monee was on top of every deadline and detail and made the process so easy. I’ve heard that buying a home can be stressful and trying. But, with Monee, there was more laughter than tears.  Now our family is settled in our dream home – all thanks to Monee and her professionalism and joyful optimism.

The team at T Williams Realty works together with a base of knowledge that covers every aspect of buying and selling a home seamlessly. I was expecting stress and anxiety. Instead, I received the knowledge and creativity of a winning team.

Sandi’s extensive knowledge of the local real estate market and of county rules, her willingness to do thorough research and thoughtful analysis before making recommendations, her experience and no fear in negotiating, her talent for finding the right words to express the rationale for your point of view and actions, her tact, her diligence and hard work ethic, her attention to detail, her background in home design … combined with her grace and kindness … make her a realtor you want representing you.

We met Beth when we decided to pursue our dream of purchasing a vacation home on Orcas Island. We had many ideas of what we thought we wanted. She listened to all of our ideas and wishes, and found us several interesting properties to look at. She offered excellent suggestions about possibilities that we had not even considered. She enhanced our decision making process by pointing out details that we missed. When we did decide on a property she quickly processed all the paperwork. She kept us informed through the entire process. She responded to our many questions, quickly, answering our emails within a couple of hours at the longest. This was so important since we are not local and had to do much over the internet/email etc. She is simply the best real estate agent we have ever worked with.

The teamwork at T Williams Realty results in someone always working on your behalf. Any questions or situations were taken care of immediately. Our realtor, Miramonee, was enthusiastic and determined that the sale of our bed and breakfast would be successful! We received good advice about other offers and we are so glad we listened! Even when the buyer’s lender started changing terms and escrow was delayed three times, both Teri Williams and Miramonee remained positive and reassuring. We are so appreciative and highly recommend this office to handle the sale of your property.

We have known Teri Williams both personally and professionally for close to 30 years. After living on Orcas for 40 years we made the difficult decision to move and start a new adventure exploring the US with our base in Arizona. Teri found us the perfect buyer, who was moving back to Orcas. She and her team made this happen as only they can do with care, integrity and honesty. The added bonus for Orcas is the entire team invests in the community with volunteer service and fundraising efforts for many local organizations. Who knows – maybe Teri will help us move back to Orcas again someday?

We are very lucky and thankful to have you on our team. Words like “professional”, “tenacity”, “straight shooter” along with “great sense of humor” make you a gem on the island and a good friend to boot. Truly a deal with twists and turns to the final recording. Thank you!

When you think of the qualities that make the ideal real estate agent – Beth is the complete package. We trusted her from the start. We found working with her a joy and felt she was always there to help through every step of the purchasing process. She emanates a sense of dependability that makes you feel secure during what is, no question, a very involved process. Beth is a true professional in every sense of the word, and puts her clients interest far above her own. With our purchase she was attentive to every detail and always displayed an incredible eagerness to minimize efforts on our part. (This was especially appreciated as we were buyers from out of state – with out-of-state sellers as well). She was happy to work with contractors and schedule work on our behalf. Communication was always thorough and well detailed. For example, she arranged with contractors to locate and test an abandon well for supply and purity [which meant working with the County’s electric company to have power turned on]. She made sure the property was buildable by insuring we had an approved septic design, she combed County records for what might have been a hidden drainage pipe, (even contacted a neighbor to further verify). She also put us in direct contact with specific individuals at the water utility company who had the expertise to answers questions we had regarding future water services to the property; she even supplied aerial photos. Then, even after the sale had been finalized, she had her husband remove an ugly sign that was solidly bolted to a fir tree on the property; then emailed us pictures showing that the sign had been removed. (Sometimes it’s the little things.) To illustrate her professionalism further, after all the “i’s” had been dotted and the “t’s” crossed; she informed us that when we got ready to build she would put us in contact with reputable contractors, even assist and guide us through the maze of county permits. Whoa! … And we’re from out of state… Oh! And we should mention, escrow closing was a breeze.  She’s good, really good. We would be very happy to give Beth our highest recommendation for anyone looking to buy or sell a property.  Her in-depth knowledge and her many professional and personal contacts puts her in a desirable position to take advantage of opportunities for her clients which other Realtors can only aspire to. This by itself sets Beth apart from other Realtors.

Focused, knowledgeable, thoroughly organized, great buyer’s advocate. Sandi was fantastic to work with throughout the property search and buying process. She guided us seamlessly through, at times, a challenging home purchase due to several “surprises” caused in large part by a lack of full disclosure on certain issues and poor legal contract management by the Seller’s agent (IMO). Through it all, Sandi maintained an even keel and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Great person and well respected in the Orcas and San Juan community at large based on feedback we received during our due diligence and our overall experience.
