★★★★★
"Dori is an amazing person and was super helpful throughout the property purchase process. Dori was able to find me a property before it was listed and helped us finding the right house. She was quite professional in executing this deal - more importantly, she was extremely responsive, and was available at odd hours, weekends, etc. It was an amazing experience of working with Dori.. I wish her all the luck.. Tx." - Janmesh

★★★★★
"Dori was super helpful and responsive throughout the listing and selling process. Keen eye for detail and makes sure to take care of the property (example: one bulb dimmer than the other, cleaning the patio railings, and window shades, etc). She addressed buyer and buyer agent questions really quickly, all day long. She was kind enough to correspond with the HOA to get help whenever needed. If I were to sell another property in the Seattle area, I would definitely sign up Dori again as my agent." - Rahul

★★★★★
"Dori is someone who you feel that she's on your team & will do whatever she can to help you sell/buy your home. She helped us purchase a new build & we loved her customer service so she is also selling our previous home. She markets very aggressively & easy to work with. We love her!!" - Gianona

★★★★★
"Just the very best!!! We liked a short sale property and the deal stalled for over 14 months. Dori was committed to seeing it through and completely surpassed our expectation on advocating for our best interest as buyers. Her perseverance led us down the path of closing on a seemingly impossible transaction in June 2017. Atop, she is very knowledgeable of the local market, thoughtful in making recommendations keeping her client's interest in mind, has a wide network of contractors and resources and one who doesn't limit herself to any boundaries when it comes to extending her help both when transaction is ongoing as well as after its closed." - Puneet

★★★★★
"This is our second time working with Dori and we could not have asked for a better person to help us with our home purchase. We have many friends who have used her services as well and share the same sentiment. She is very patient during the whole search process and never forces you to make any decision against your will. She will discuss all the pros and cons of the property and help you in every step till (and after) closing with honest feedback on what should be done in any given situation and who should be contacted. She is very knowledgeable and a great person to work with." - Saurabh
