Client Testimonials

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…

Fionnuala and Mary were absolutely exceptional in helping us sell our home while we were living overseas. With an 8-hour time difference and thousands of miles between us, they made what could have been an incredibly stressful process remarkably smooth and successful.

Their communication was outstanding - they kept us constantly informed and were always available despite the challenging time zones. When we needed updates made to the property or repairs coordinated, they handled everything seamlessly, acting as our eyes and hands on the ground. Their transparency throughout the process helped us make informed decisions quickly and confidently.

What truly set them apart was their ability to manage all the local arrangements - from scheduling inspections to coordinating with contractors. They took care of countless details that we simply couldn't handle from abroad. Their expertise and strategic approach to pricing and marketing resulted in us receiving well above our asking price, which exceeded all our expectations.

Fionnuala and Mary's professionalism, market knowledge, and dedication turned what could have been a logistical nightmare into a surprisingly easy transaction. We would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone, especially those facing the unique challenges of selling remotely. We'd work with them again in a heartbeat.

This is a testimonial to the excellent work done by Fionnuala O’Sullivan and Mary LaVern Oakes as a real estate team earlier this year. My brother died without a will and the estate needed some coordination with our attorneys to ensure the sale went smoothly.  Fionnuala and Mary were seamlessly able to coordinate all aspects of showing the condominium to show it to its best advantage and to recommend and supervise the needed maintenance and repairs.  In addition the staging was handled beautifully and the home was transformed from a sad place of disrepair into a charming and appealing home that was priced appropriately and sold promptly that sold promptly.  

Mary and Fionnuala worked together thru the inevitable glitches as the property moved through closure and were able to soothe and reassure the worried and nervous seller (me) and make it all happen.  They are skilled,  experienced business women that who are delightful to work with and who I am happy to know.

Mary and Fionnuala were an absolute dream team. In a competitive market with constant bidding wars, we were lucky to have their extensive knowledge of older homes, excellent communication skills, and decades of experience in Seattle real estate. They were responsive, precise, and incredibly attentive to our preferences. We began this process skeptical about what we could achieve in our price range. As first time buyers, we ended up in an amazing home that came with more features than we had on our checklist. I cannot thank these two enough for going above and beyond to land us in a lovely home that exceeded our expectations!

Selling our townhome with Fionnuala and Mary was the most seamless experience we’ve ever had. Their teamwork, organization, and communication were outstanding. Since we were managing the sale from abroad, they took care of everything: prepping the home, staging, photography, and more. What we appreciated most was how practical they were and how they kept costs down when prepping the home for sale. Highly recommend this A+ team!

Mary & Fionnuala helped us purchase our home in the spring of 2024. It sounds obvious, but we got two realtors for the price of one. Both have their own distinct opinions and a wealth of knowledge. We've had a lot of success using their contacts to help us make this new house our home. I've recommended them to friends and would use them again if the need arises.
