Testimonials

Chris is a dedicated professional and great advisor.

I have worked with Chris in the last four (4) years on the purchase of two (2) residential real estate units. Chris is a dedicated professional and great advisor. Today, we continue to work together towards the review of investment real estate in the Greater Seattle Area. There is nobody else I would trust to drive these while I reside out of state. In short, you are in good hands.

From day one, he was completely transparent and straightforward

As first-time home buyers coming from the Bay Area, my husband and I were used to bidding wars, all cash offers, and constant heartache/disappointment/frustration. When we first spoke to Chris, he immediately set us at ease since he knew all about both markets, and he assured us that with his guidance, our dream of homeownership in the Seattle area was not just some fantastical notion-- it was going to become a reality. He got straight to work, essentially trying to find a needle in a haystack, given our budget and wants. I don’t think ‘clairvoyant’ is quite the right word, but Chris definitely knows how to ‘read’ his clients and pick up their cues/vibes/reactions with ease, which made the entire process far less stressful than it would have been otherwise. From day one, he was completely transparent and straightforward, and at no point did we ever feel pressured, or that he was just trying to make a quick sale to some desperate, priced-out Californians. We flew up for a long weekend and he worked his butt off to show us multiple listings over a fairly broad area, and when we were prepared to write up an offer, he took care of it that night and we flew home happily in escrow. From start to finish, he was kind, warm, genuine, and he LISTENED to what we wanted to see/explore. As it turned out, what we *thought* we wanted and what we ended up buying were actually pretty different, but without his help, we wouldn't be enjoying our new home today. We would recommend him to ANYONE looking to buy a home in the Seattle area, but I really think he has a knack for working with anxious/clueless first-time home buyers since he's got outstanding communication skills and an exceptional work ethic. He’s also got a great sense of humor and he’s super easy to talk to as well, so instead of house hunting feeling like a chore, it really felt more like an adventure. Thanks again for everything Chris—it was an absolute pleasure doing business with you! See Less

The way to go is, undoubtedly, with Chris Devoe!

In the Summer of 2021 our family moved from coast to coast. Chris was extremely helpful with our virtual home search while we were still living in VA, and truly went the extra mile when we arrived in WA. He picked me up from the hotel on a Sunday, spent the whole day touring pre-selected houses based on our wishlist, and counseled me on how to develop a winning-offer at a time when the market was red hot and homes were under contract within a few days of hitting the market. His generosity never stopped, he took care of everything I needed to move in, and became a good friend throughout the year ahead. Despite our situation making it impossible to time the market, and thus having to buy in a sellers market, and sell in a much more buyer-friendly market, the advice Chris gave us for staging our home, the professional photography he coordinated, and the multiple open houses he conducted, led to a successful sale and closing. Chris showed tremendous poise, professionalism, and dedication, assisting us once again with home checks and consistent updates while we were back on the east coast again. Chris will remain a trusted friend and I recommend him to everyone buying or selling a home in Western WA. The way to go is, undoubtedly, with Chris Devoe! See Less

He not only changed my perspective on realtors, but also helped us find our first home.

After several stints with agents that just didn't understand how we shop for things we met with Chris. He not only changed my perspective on realtors, but also helped us find our first home. Chris was knowledgeable, patient, a pleasure to work with and talk to. He had no issues coming out to meetus (even though it was almost an hour drive for him) when we wanted to view a home. When we finally made an offer, Chris' advise and ability to champion our offer to the listing agent secured our purchase. Even after the fact, during the closing process Chris worked to clear up issues between our lender and the title company. He really went the extra mile time and again to help us get our home. His motto is cheesy, but I back it 100% "The way to go is with Chris Devoe"

I was impressed with how Chris got things done!

As first time homebuyers the process seemed overwhelming in the beginning,but Chris made it very easy. He listens and gives his expert advice. In a pinch when inspectors fell through Chris gave an excellent recommendation and got it scheduled for us. I was impressed with how Chris got things done!I highly recommend Chris, he champions for his clients. See Less

We never felt pressured to settle right away for anything less than our dream home

I highly recommend working with Chris to find your next home. He was patient, knowledgable, worked easily with our schedule, immediately answered all of our questions, and did a fantastic job coordinating between us and the sellers. We never felt pressured to settle right away for anything less thanour dream home, and while we toured the houses we shared his knowledge about the area and about the above expectations and problematic aspects of the houses in comparison to other homes. Chris was professional, friendly, amazing to work with, and made home buying for the first time a great experience. See Less

Chris once asked me " Do you want the house for sale or do you want it sold?"

Chris SOLD my home in less than 12 hours on the market for OVER the list price. I hired Chris based on his track record for getting the job done. I would hire Chris over and over again and could count on him without a doubt to get the job done. Chris once asked me " Do you want the house for sale or do you want it sold?" CHRIS SOLD IT!

Always there when I needed questions answered.

It was my first time buying a home and Chris made it a very easy and stress free experience. Always there when I needed questions answered. Also not aggressive with his clients to buy, he made it a fun process. Great guy!

Chris KNOWS what he is talking about, so take his advice.

The way to go is ABSOLUTELY with Chris Devoe!! :) My husband and I recently purchased our 3rd home with the help of Chris and it has been the BEST home-buying experience we've had and will definitely use him again when we resell or purchase another home. Chris is friendly and very approachable, he made our home search experience enjoyable and not stressful. We already had 2 different pre-approval letters and Chris recommended another lender that not only managed to pre-approve us for much more than the previous lenders we had, but processed our paperwork and closed on our home within 3 weeks!! Chris KNOWS what he is talking about, so take his advice. He is awesome to work with! Thank you Chris for helping us with this process. See Less
