He really listened to us and what our limits and needs were and helped us find a wonderful home. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor. He is very knowledgeable and wonderful to work with!"

Review for Rebecca Mitsui
"Over the last eight years, my wife and I have bought and sold two homes in West Seattle and bought one in University Place with the expert help of Rebecca Mitsui (and of Tom Skepetaris as well during our last purchase and sale). Last October when a desirable semi-detached condo in University Place went on the market, we contacted Rebecca for her assistance because we trusted her professional knowledge and wonderful personal qualities needed to be our real estate agent. During the drive to view the condo, Rebecca told us that she had become the president of a real estate company not too long ago, and she and her new colleague Tom would be the agents to help us acquire our new home. Within a week they had our offer accepted. When our West Seattle condo went on the market, again within five days we accepted an excellent offer. Our experience with Rebecca and Tom was beyond exceptional, and we most highly recommend them to be your real estate agents."

"Me and my wife were making a long distance move from California and we just happened to meet Tom at a open house in Seattle and from there on Tom was really great with the followups. Within 3 weeks, Tom helped us find a home that checked all our boxes. As a first time home buyer there were so many questions we had about the whole process which Tom helped us along the way. Tom represented us and negotiated with the Seller during the offer stage and even pulled in the move in date as per our request. Tom made us aware of so many pit falls along the way which we could have easily missed. Thanks Much Tom for bringing in your experience and local knowledge to help us settle in to our new home, we really appreciate all the effort that you have put in and the help with the Seller's warrant work and other thing that came up along the way. When we have to buy another property we cannot imagine doing it without Tom. THANK YOU for making our home buying process so easy and keeping in touch to make sure we are doing well at the new place."

"I recently had Tom list my home in Bonney Lake/Lake Taps to pursue an opportunity closer to my work place in Seattle. Tom was able to negotiate 45k more than nearby similar homes on the market! We then began our search for a new home. With artful composing of an offer, professional stature between the other agent(s), and utmost talent of how far to push, Tom was able to win the battle against the seller to lock down the dream home my wife and I have always wanted. We are now raising our two boys, two dogs and two cats, and happily looking at a bright future in our (Mini Mansion), as we call it!"

Review for Jim Chittenden
"Jim was a pleasure to work with. He was incredibly responsive to our requests, even putting together an offer on a house in a matter of a few hours to ensure we were able to beat out other potential buyers. Jim is an active listener and problem solver. As we put in offers on houses, he continued to think creatively about how to craft each offer to increase our chances of success in the incredibly competitive Seattle market. We highly recommend working with Jim."

Review for Mario Husmillo
"In a market where every day - or hour! - matters, we would not have found our home without Mario's help. He gave us realistic expectations of homes to look at given our budget and the realities of the Seattle housing market. He almost always responded to texts and calls within the hour and immediately spoke to the listing agent of each house we were interested in. He helped us set up pre-inspections on less than a day's notice and did the research on comps so we could always put our best foot forward on offers we made. We were able to close on the third home we put an offer on, two months after we started looking, with his assistance."

"I call Tom, Mr.T, He is the greek magic because he make things that are impossible become possible. As a first time home buyer I had all these anxiety and fears, but because of Tom i was worried for nothing. He made my wifes and I experience smooth. Tom's professionalism, accountability, urgency, passion, ethic are the ones that anyone need into buying a home especially here in the Seattle area. Just do your part and Tom will sure do the rest. Tom thank you so much for all your patience and hard work in getting us a roof to live in. We couldnt ask for a better realtor because you're simply the best."

Review for Jim Chittenden
"I consider myself extremely fortunate to have met Jim and to have been able to rely on him as my broker for my first home purchase. As a first timer, I was not particularly familiar with the in's and out's of buying a house and wasn't really sure what to expect. But Jim and the rest of his team at Alchemy Real Estate really made the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. He explained every step with the utmost care and detail. He made sure we knew what everyone's responsibilities and expectations were so that we were always ready for what came next. But most importantly, he was always friendly and professional while doing so. We trusted all of his recommendations and he never once led us astray. I honestly can't even imagine how the process might have gone differently if it hadn't been for Jim. So if we should ever be in the market for a new home again, I know that my first step will be to call Jim Chittenden. And I'll be recommending the same to anyone else who will listen too."

Review for Rebecca Mitsui
"We have used Rebecca as our agent to buy our first house, then years later when we decided to upgrade, she was our natural choice. She walked us though a contingency sale, holding our hands the entire way. She created a plan for us to sell and buy our new dream house, which all came to fruition. When we were nervous or anxious, she would ground us. She is an amazing agent but is even a better person! Could not recommend her enough!"

"Pick Tom. You'll succeed with him. It's clear Tom has expertise that outclasses most other agents. During even the first phone call, while I was feeling out several agents, the conversation with Tom revealed he has greater experience than the others. Over time, he proved it was true. Tom showed his deep knowledge throughout our house hunt together. As we toured homes, it was common for him to reveal information about the specific items, rooms, styles, eras, bedroom counts, modification ideas, types of building materials, additional costs, and more. I learned a lot from this. We hit a regular cadence of viewing homes weekly. This was a good pace. Tom was fast to respond to texts, emails, and phone calls. When it came time to make an offer, Tom explained the process. We hopped on a few Zoom calls to go over the paperwork. Once again, Tom demonstrated deep knowledge in the entire process. For my home, we had an opportunity to negotiate the price downward - rare in the Greater Seattle area. Tom gave me insight into what might work, what wouldn't work, and the process behind negotiations. In the end, we ended up with very favorable contingency terms AND brought the price down. Tom held many back-and-forth conversations with the selling agent and sellers, persuading them to come down on price. Towards the end of the closing process, there were still items to be checked on and questions to be answered. I was able to rely on Tom for it all. Tom also recommended what is likely one of the top lenders you can possibly get. I strongly suggest home buyers consider the recommendation. I closed on the home a few days ago. Even post-closing, it's clear Tom is a resource I'm welcome to continue using. For example, Tom is connecting me with a stager to help get the interior design on my home just right. I have no doubt I'll use Tom as a future resource, both for help with the current home, and to buy my next home"

Review for Mario Husmillo
"Working with Mario to purchase of our first home was amazing. As first time home buyers, the end to end process is not only daunting but stressful! Mario confidently guided us through the home buying process, providing both support and guidance along the way. Every interaction we had with Mario was professional, prompt, and instilled confidence that he would be the person to get the job done. Even though Seattle is a competitive market, we appreciated how Mario didn't pressure us to go for homes that didn't fit our wants and needs. He never pressured us to go outside of our budget and consistently found houses that met our criteria. One of the best things about Mario is that he's willing to go above and beyond for his clients. An example of this is, during the stressful closing process we ran into an issue with the sellers that Mario was able to resolve without our involvement. He knew how stressed out we were and was able to negotiate a resolution with the buyers and selling agents. We were blown away by this and are forever grateful. The home we ultimately purchased through Mario is perfect, and we're so happy. We would highly� highly� HIGHLY recommend Mario for any real estate needs!"

Review for Jim Chittenden
"Jim acted as my buyer's agent for my first home purchase, and he turned what I expected to be an intimidating and challenging ordeal into a straightforward and easy step-by-step process. He assisted with looking for properties that met my criteria and ultimately helped me put in a winning offer on my dream home. Jim is knowledgeable, professional, and highly responsive. His communication throughout the entire process was amazing--I always knew what to expect next. Jim is also just a generally friendly person who took time to understand what I needed in my home. I'd recommend Jim to any of my friends or family looking for an agent, and I'll personally go back to Jim when it's time to sell or buy my next home."
