Team Reviews
“Michael and Dana were absolutely fantastic to work with during my recent home purchase. They understand the local markets well and weren’t shy about giving me their honest feedback on the houses we looked at. When the transaction encountered challenges they were absolute life savers in finding ways to make it a successful deal. I’ve been in my new home for a month now and absolutely love it. Thanks Michael and Dana!”

"You two were a spectacular team. You guided us on the right home improvements that would matter, the marketing materials on the web and flyer were stunning, the price strategy was exactly right to achieve our goal of a fast sale at an aggressive price, and the sales strategy was really clever centering around timing and wording. I think that this was an effort where the sum was absolutely greater than all of the parts, and all of the efforts reinforced each other. As a seller, I had very high standards and I'm sure caused some eye-rolling on your parts as I checked, poked, and questioned. But, all 'is' well that ends well. And this ended spectacularly well: an above-list offer, no inspection contingency, and a half-cash offer: Job well done by team Billings!"

"Whoever said there is no ‘I’ in ‘team’ obviously never worked with The Billings Team! For I was the primary focus of this team throughout my home search and home sale process. Being a single father of two teenage children, I had very little time and/or energy to attend to all the things that needed to be done to get my home ready to go on the market. The Billings team took care of everything, from identifying and negotiating with contractors to replace my roof, getting the deck repaired and painted, replacing a badly needed front door to cleaning and staging the house for sale. My home went on the market at 2pm on a Friday afternoon and by 6pm I had a no inspection/no contingency cash offer well over asking price and closed within 15 days. Absolutely amazing work! The entire process was painless and, in fact, quite enjoyable. I highly recommend The Billings Team to anyone looking to buy or sell property. My sincerest thanks to The Billings Team for all their hard work!"

"On the purchasing effort, Dana demonstrated a wealth of knowledge in new construction home buying...we had many questions and Dana was always very prompt in getting accurate information....from the signed Purchase and Sale to closing date was very smooth with no surprises at the end. In preparing our home for sale Dana went above and beyond in helping us do a makeover on our 1959 property...often stopped by to give recommendations and check on our progress....words to describe our experience with Dana are dependable, knowledgeable, energetic, reliable and honest. When we are ready for our next purchase we will definitely be calling Dana K. Francis."

"Dana has a passion about her real estate career. I found her to be energetic, loyal and hard working; therefore always striving to exceed my expectations and understand my needs as a seller. Dana was dedicated to producing positive results for me with integrity, honesty and genuine caring. She kept me very well updated on current market sales and trends with open communication throughout the sale of my home, and was always available. ...bent over backwards...managed to sell my home the first weekend it was listed...If I had to to it all over again, either to buy or sell a house, I would definitely call upon Dana to represent me and I highly recommend her to friends, neighbors and co workers. Dana, you're awesome!"

"We just wanted you to know what a tremendous job Michael Billings and Dana Francis did selling my dad's house. From the moment we agreed to have them as our agents they were on the job, working day and night to make the sale. They gave us clear, informed and practical advice, coordinated and followed through with the necessary details. They were always available and prompt in reponding to our calls. We previously had listed with another company and did not have a single offer in over two years. Once we listed with Michael and Dana we had three offers within one week - one for full price. Please use us as a reference."

"Dana was so amazing to work with. She helped make an overwhelming situation exciting and much less stressful. As a first time home buyer, I was worried on so many levels. From financing to location, she took her time with me and explained each and every one of my many questions, and spent months looking at houses with me. She always kept my "must haves" in mind while looking for potentials. I completely trusted her, and knew she had my best interest at heart, and would stop at nothing to get me into my perfect first home. She made it fun and exciting. This is the best decision I ever made, and I am so glad she was a part of the experience. I would recommend her 100 times over to anyone who is looking to buy or sell their home."

"Thank you, Dana and Michael, for all the help with the sale of our Redmond house. You were fabulous to work with during our relocation from Redmond to the Midwest. We interviewed a couple agents, all of which had a price for our home before ever setting foot in it. You both took the time to walk through our house, view our upgrades and then truly evaluate it against true comps. We loved that you took the extra time to take us through the "competition" to ensure we were priced right and really understood our home's value. Not only did we have multiple full priced offers the first week, but your pricing strategy netted us $25K more than other real-estate professionals "no see" estimates. Thank you again for making this such a smooth and quick process! We really appreciate you going the extra mile to really step in and make sure everything (contractors, staging, etc) was handled while we were out of state. You guys rock!"

"Thank you Dana. Your kindness and professionalism are exhibited by the way you genuinely care about your clients. I have never worked with an agent of your caliber before now. I sincerely wish you could also sell our house in Florida. I really appreciate the way you truly listened to our needs and desires for our cross-country move. We are very pleased with our home, the neighborhood, the area, and the schools. In addition to the phenomenal John L Scott website, your knowledge and expertise of the areas, the commute times, the neighborhoods, the schools, the purchase process, the local businesses, the weather, and so much more made this transition so much easier on our family. I feel like you were my first friend in Seattle, and that made moving 3,158 miles from home easier."
