At my age selling my Bellingham home was one of the toughest things I've ever had to do, especially with a foreclosure hanging over me. I’m thankful I found Garrett and his team. They handled everything with expertise and care. They helped me avoid losing the house to foreclosure, and helped me untangle some complicated issues that required working with a couple of different attorneys, and Garrett was able to track down distant relatives and trustees to clear up things I never could have managed on my own. On top of that, Garrett and Chris coordinated movers for me, and I walked away with a lot more money than the other offers I had on the table. Chris and Garrett’s communication was thorough, and they kept me informed every step of the way, followed up promptly, and guided me through the whole process with patience and professionalism. I couldn't be happier with the outcome, and I highly recommend Garrett to anyone needing a reliable, hardworking real estate pro. They went above and beyond for me.

I can't thank Garrett enough for the amazing job he did selling my elderly parents' house! My parents live out of state most of the time, and have been going through a really tough season. They weren't in a position to pour a bunch of money into getting the place all fixed up and ready to sell, but they needed someone who could still sell the house quickly, without chopping the price in half! Once word got around that we were thinking about putting the house on the market, a few neighbors and some builders approached my parents and almost talked us into selling it to them for way less than it was worth. Thank goodness we reached out to Garrett instead! He came out to the property right away, looked at homes that had sold nearby recently, and spotted some special features about our property that could let a buyer re-develop it to make a ton of profit. That's exactly why those other people were trying to lowball us! With limited time and not a huge budget to work with, Garrett knocked it out of the park. He got my parents about $200,000 MORE than what those other offers were, and he even got the buyer to skip their own home inspection (he had us get one completed ahead of time and knew a great company to do it fast). The buyer also agreed to some other terms that Garrett negotiated for my parents, too! Garrett made the whole process super easy for me and my siblings, who were helping coordinate everything remotely for our parents. He kept us in the loop every step of the way with clear updates, got us the exact price we were hoping for, and took all the worry off my parents' shoulders. He even hooked us up with movers who specialize in moving heavy stuff like safes and other tricky items. Truly A+ service all around. Thank you, Garrett – you're the best agent around!

I couldn’t have asked for a better agent to help buy my home! Garrett from Guidance Real Estate is trustworthy, honest, and a fantastic negotiator. He is so approachable and friendly, he truly had my best interests at heart. When we found the perfect property, it turned out to be a very difficult purchase due to the Sellers' circumstances. Nonetheless, Garrett was able to befriend the listing agents and work out a winning scenario that the Sellers were agreeable to, and negotiated an incredible deal for us! After we signed the contract Garrett also created a customized closing timeline that visually made everything so much easier to understand. I felt comfortable, informed, and supported from start to finish. If you’re looking for a top agent on the Eastside who actually cares about getting you the right home, not just any home, pick Garrett. He's the best agent in Kirkland, Bellevue & the Eastside!

Garrett at Guidance Real Estate is the top agent in the Bellevue / Kirkland / Greater Eastside area - no BS, just results. I’m a mechanic with a ton of tools, a great wife and a long wish-list: We wanted a big garage, acreage for toys/projects, a safe & commutable location, and space to host family and friends. Garrett understood all of this, and stayed patient with us until the perfect property hit the market just a few minutes away from my work! After touring the property we discovered the seller’s personal circumstances were going to potentially make the transaction really difficult to close, if we chose to make an offer. Garrett worked with us to craft an excellent offer; he picked up the phone, built rapport with the listing team, and straight-up convinced them we were the buyers who would actually close this deal with them. He handled every curveball like he’d seen it a thousand times (because he has). I know it took a ton of hard work behind the scenes to close the deal for us, but it didn't feel that way; Garrett did an excellent job handling everything, and he kept in communication with us and our lender the whole time. We closed on time, WAY under asking (yes, UNDER), and now we've got a gigantic shop for projects, tons of outdoor space for our toys, and a backyard our friends & family will never outgrow. If you want an agent who fights hard, knows how to work a complicated deal, and actually listens and collaborates, call Garrett at Guidance Real Estate. He is the best agent in Kirkland, Bellevue & the Eastside. Thanks Garrett!!

After almost 5 years in court struggles I found that I was way behind on bills. I was on the verge of losing my home when Chris & Garrett got in contact with me. They were an absolute Godsend. They helped me come up with the best solution for my situation, were kind and patient with my uncertainty, and they were with me every step of the way; helping me talk to a disagreeable mortgage company and trustee, they handled all of the listing details and helping me deal with the process of showing and selling my home. I could have lost everything to foreclosure but with Garrett & Chris's help I was able to make the decision to list my home, sell it and get a fresh start on life. I’m now getting settled in my new place and have more peace than I’ve felt in a very long time. Chris & Garrett were a lifeline in a really difficult time and I would recommend anyone work with them if you get the chance.

This team brings their A-game everyday! It was such a breath of fresh air to get connected to agents that offer GREAT advice AND follow through. It they tell you something will get done, consider it done. I never had to play telephone tag as they always did what they said they would do. I entrusted the sale of my unique $1M home to them and they didn't disappoint. You won't be either.

Garrett is knowledgeable, thorough, and responsive. Best experience we’ve had with an agent hands down!

Garrett at Guidance is the top real estate agent in Bellevue & Kirkland, & truly the best agent on the Eastside! Before we put our home on the market, Garrett walked the property with us & helped identify a list of updates & fix-ups that we decided to get done, ensuring the house was totally sale-ready. He recommended getting the home pre-inspected as well, which turned out to be great advice. Garrett had a list of contractors and contacts to perform the necessary work before going on the market, and he coordinated everything seamlessly. His reminders & follow-up communication were fantastic, keeping us on track & informed every step of the way. He’s definitely a details guy and Garrett's organization & well-structured process made the entire experience stress-free. He ran multiple open houses & used stunning photos, videography, & media to market our house effectively. We were extremely pleased with his marketing strategy. What also stood out was Garrett's networking & people-skills. He actively engaged with buyers & buyers' agents, generating significant interest & momentum for our listing. By the end, he procured 6 offers & pushed the asking price more than $650,000 over our listing price!!

He did such a good job at showing the property’s best features and getting a lot of interest generated. He didn’t even need to put a sign in our yard. It was obvious he sells a lot of homes and has a big network. Communication was clear and consistent, we never felt left in the dark. It felt amazingly stress-free. The end result was a quick sale above our asking price!
