Real Estate Companies
Posted by CityBlogWA on May 28th, 2007
Bellevue has a lot of real estate companies. Which one is considered the best company according the Bellevue, Washington residents? Who are the best real estate agents in Bellevue, Washington? Historically, which company has been there the longest? Do any of the real estate companies also have title and mortgage companies?







Bellevue is home to great real estate companies, from a National scope to a local scene. Nationally, when someone is searching for local real estate, it is great to have strong National reputable companies such as Prudential. There are 13 Prudentail offices in the Puget Sound area with over 700 agents who know the area thoroughly. On the other hand, a buyer/seller can also use a local franchise, such as Windermere, known for its affiliation with new construction, or John L Scott, a multi-generational local franchise. Many are affiliated with their own Mortgage or -in-houses services for Title and Escrow. Even tho’one-stop’ shopping is sometimes a convenience, it always makes me wonder if everything is on the up & up, or would it be better to select independent Title and Escrow companies such as Ticor or Metro Escrow, just for checks and balances in the system.
Best agents? Of course I am one of those, working as a team with my daughter, Georgia Schoonover. One can also, check out the Seattle Magazine and see who appears year after year in the “Best in Service” voting. A 3-4 year agent is getting continuous voting by their past clients as to their service. Consistently being voted “tops” by your piers and clients is a pretty good sign of a strong agent.
