"Skylar knows his areas extremely well, when we were looking for a home Skylar brought me and my wife several pocket listings.
We looked for almost a year and he was fully attentive his patients was amazing he never pushed us to purchase often times pointed out flaws we now know would have been awful to deal with.
When we finally found a home and the opposing real-estate agent was on vacation. Skylar drove to the sellers home and walked them through all the paperwork to ensure our purchase.
I was so happy with him I recommended to my brother when he was selling his home. Was able to get a full price, urged him to hold off when lowball offers came over and over again and my brother became nervous.
Whether its good or bad news at least you will know its well informed and honest."

"I recently worked with Skylar on finding a perfect home for our family and closing it in this competitive market. He is very trustworthy and will look out for your best interest with patience. I would highly recommend anyone to work with Skylar if you have a long term relationship in mind for buying and selling homes in the future."

"Skylar is the epitome of everything you could want in a broker; his professionalism, integrity, sincerity, honesty, cultural sensitivity, impeccable attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to close the deal was outstanding.
Our family has sold two homes and purchased two in the eastside (Bellevue/Mercer Island/Renton Highlands) through Skylar and with each process, Skylar’s knowledge, strategy, and terrific instincts have consistently guided us through excellent outcomes. In a market as dynamic and competitive, more like crazy, as this one, timing was crucial and Skylar was a logistical genius. He never made us feel hurried or rushed and was able to coordinate an army of highly skilled and reliable subcontractors (carpet, hardwood, window, landscape, general repairs, staging, photography, deck and many others) in very short window of time to get the house ready for the market.
Just to show how much my family trusted Skylar to act in our best interest, our mother who is not fluent in the English language chose Skylar over several Korean realtors in selling and purchasing her home in Bellevue because Skylar made her feel heard, understood, and cared for. Even though we (her children) were communicating on her behalf, Skylar was always so respectful, taking the time to speak slowly and converse with her directly. He always made us feel like we were his priority, even though we knew how busy he was with much bigger deals. With Skylar, you can always trust that he is on top of every detail, big and small, which brings great peace of mind in any real estate transaction.
We highly and enthusiastically recommend Skylar without any reservation and would certainly work with Skylar again!!"

"We highly recommend Skylar Agnew. When we first met him we were really impressed with his ability to dig into the market data and trends and advise on timing, pricing, etc. He is also very communicative - not only sharing the data and analysis in detail, but also keeping us apprised of when there is a change and why. Our neighborhood was not in Skylar's exact area of expertise (Kirkland) but it didn't matter - he dug right in to understand the area and make contacts. Skylar was always responsive and respectful of our time. When we finally sold the house and closed, we were a little sad that we would miss our regular communication with him. You will enjoy working with him!"

"Skylar is fantastic. Communication and thoroughness are outstanding. Working with him was a pleasure. He helped get my condo from a lackluster rental to a highly desirable unit with his repair and cleaning team. Went on the market on Weds, had multiple offers the following Monday, and sold for 15% over asking."

"Professional, great attitude, excellent customer service skills. Without him organizing everyone and keeping things moving the entire process would have dragged on. He gave me a real feeling of comfort and I was stress free throughout the process after he was involved."

"What can I say? I was introduced to Skylar over one year ago by some friends and neighbors of mine who had used his services and had a great experience. I decided to give Skylar a call when I was ready to sell my High Point home and look for a larger home outside of the city. Skylar was extremely professional throughout the process, but also took the time to get to know me and my quirks (trust me, when it comes to selling/buying a home, we all have quirks!). I cannot say enough about Skylar's attention to detail and obsession with numbers. Every time we spoke, he had a new report showing me data about selling my home in West Seattle. To say he was on top of the trends is an understatement - he may as well have been the author of them considering the level of understanding he had. To top it off, he gave me exactly the information I needed to know and made it easy to understand. As a first time seller, that was very important to me because the process can quickly become overwhelming. Additionally, I had a new construction home being completed, so the timing of my sale had to be precise. His advice on things from staging my home, when to make the listing active and what price would drive the most views in a short time all came together seamlessly! I could not have been more pleased with the results of my combo sale/purchase. My house sold for well over the asking price thanks to Skylar's impeccable advice. Skylar even managed to ensure I had extra time in my sold home to move out so I wasn't rushed. I would highly recommend Skylar to anyone who wants to get the most out of selling their home. Take his advice - he is a master of what he does! Look at his numbers and do your homework. Do you want someone who sells 25+ homes a year, or someone who dabbles in the market? If you want a professional who will put you first, give Skylar your business. To top it all off, he is just a genuine and nice person, and that makes a world of difference. I could not have been more pleased with his service."

"Skylar helped me sell two townhomes in Fremont. By nature, I'm skeptical of the value that brokers add to the real estate purchase/sale process, given their handsome commissions. Skylar asked for an opportunity to prove his value and came through by demonstrating his extensive experience, tireless work ethic and superior expertise.
I was on the fence about selling the first of the two townhomes because I was so busy at the time with other projects and also had a vacation planned during the time that the townhome would need to be prepped for the market. Skylar assured me that he would take care of it all. He didn't just serve as data entry for the MLS as many listing brokers seem to do. He was a true full service broker. He arranged repairs, cleaning, landscape cleanup, and staging.
Admittedly, not everything went as planned during the listing and closing process, but that's just life (and real estate). The important thing is to have someone working for you who has the desire and ability to face challenges as they arise. As we approached our closing date, we ran into a possible deal-killer, but Skylar swooped in to save the day by introducing an excellent mortgage broker who he had worked with in the past and got the deal closed!
You won't be left in the dark with Skylar. He shares with you all the data he uses to arrive at a listing price. He keeps you updated throughout the bidding process. You'll also see how great he is with communication and follow-up throughout the closing process -- staying in touch with the buyer's broker, escrow company, appraiser, and lender to give you the best chance of closing on time and as planned.
In my experience, Skylar proved to be a highly motivated and hard working broker."
- Tyson Alexander
"Tenacious when you need him to be, and responsive to all questions and concerns. He is a data driven agent and it pays off! You will thank yourself for working with him."

"I would definitely recommend Skylar to anyone in the real estate market right now. His communication and honesty were exceptional from start to finish. He was patient with us, and didn’t push for us to settle for early offers. It was obvious he had our best intentions at heart, and he delivered on his promise, client satisfaction. At no point did he promise a sale or even a sales price, rather he promised he’d hustle for us and utilize his years of experience to present our home as best as possible for prospective buyers. Not only did we get a higher price than expected, but Skylar did an amazing job working with the buyer’s agent, escrow agent, and mortgage officer to ensure a timely closing. His industry knowledge was crucial in the final days before closing. Thank you Skylar!"

"We started out in a professional relationship and ended up as respected friends.
Skyler is proficient is his work. He is patient; he listens and is not prideful of puffed-up. He handled our unexpected challenges with dignity and honesty. This journey was significantly different than my previous experience with Real Estate people.
Skyler will help me buy my next new home."
- Dennis Hoffmann
"Skylar is the most talented broker you will find! He worked diligently with me to prepare the listing of my home, providing detailed analysis of market trends, selling strategies, and as a result, I had multiple offers over listing price on the first day! Skylar negotiated the best deal for me and because of his expertise, my house closed without a hitch. Skylar is very responsive, diligent of every detail, and he is constantly thinking and working ahead of any issue that may arise. He has an innate sense of the real estate market and is totally in his element as a broker. Skylar is a stellar professional. I’m so happy I chose Skylar to be my broker and I can’t recommend him highly enough!"
- sunshineerin10
"Skylar is the best broker; he’s the pinnacle of professionalism. I am extremely thankful for his amazing negotiation skills, perseverance, dedication, and comprehensive knowledge to sell and close my transaction. Specifically, I had wanted to purchase a condo listed by another agent, only to find the seller decided not to sell and subsequently took the condo off the market. Months passed and, at my request, despite evident challenges, Skylar contacted the seller and was able to establish an open communication building trust. Skylar ultimately won the seller’s confidence when others failed, due to his instinctive abilities to bring all parties together. When problems arose at closing, Skylar was there to mitigate and resolve all issues. Ultimately, I was able to purchase the condo I had my heart set on! Both the seller and I are thrilled; Skylar made it happen."

"Skylar was an amazing broker to work with. When we initially met to discuss what I was looking for he was attentive but also asked questions that I hadn't even considered. He made it much easier to zero in on what it was that I really wanted for my first real estate purchase. Over the next few months he would send me multiple emails a week with various on and off market listings. We would discuss details and either make a visit or pass. As we discussed the good/bad of the listings you could tell Skylar was changing what he sent to reflect my feedback. He was on time to show units and always reachable via phone/email/text. When it came to closing he had multiple lenders he has works closely that I could choose from, which was nice to be able to do a comparison and ensure I was getting the best deal. We made offers on multiple units and then finally found mutual on one in Eastlake. Skylar was careful about all the pitfalls of purchasing and was very informative with each step we entered throughout the negotiation process. I was grateful for this as I am relatively ignorant about the process. There ended up being multiple mistakes by the seller and seller's agent in the disclosure forms which was disappointing to say the least. Skylar was able to leverage this into a lower purchase price which reflected what I felt was the listing was worth given the new information. He had strategy and insight into all the actions we made and I think it was definitely reflected in the outcome. I really appreciated working with Skylar and will be using him in the future."

"We can’t thank Skylar enough for all the work he did in selling our condo. My wife and I have demanding jobs during the day and spend the remaining time with our kids so we needed a realtor that could communicate effectively with us, run the communications with all the other parties to the transaction, and respond quickly to our concerns. Skylar made it a point to coordinate with both our schedules when he thought a call was necessary to move forward with a particular action item. With our schedules, these calls were usually after 9pm which Skylar had no issue with.
Our situation was a bit unique as we had a tenant in our condo that was managed by a property manager. We are not sure if it is typical for a realtor to work as closely as Skylar did with the tenant and property manager, but this was a huge relief to us and at the end of the day, we actually never sent any correspondence to the tenant or the property manager about the transaction (we did send a final summary email after the transaction closed to work out issues with cut-offs for rent and the settlement of deposits).
Skylar’s market analysis and pricing knowledge was the primary reason we got the price we did for our condo. We were not expecting the number of offers we received and also the price to bid up the way it did and firmly believe the reason was Skylar’s ability to price. If we went with our default option for our selling agent, we would have painfully gotten short changed.
In speaking with Skylar after we got multiple offers, we quickly realized his negotiating skills and his ability to use the other offers as well as our current tenant as assets. We were impressed with how quickly he analyzed all the offers that came in and summarized all in a table highlighting key differences making our decision process efficient.
We highly recommend Skylar as a selling agent and when we are ready to buy again, we’ll definitely reach out to Skylar."

"Skylar listed and sold my condo with great results. He listened to my concerns and used his knowledge of the market to price the unit with the goal of selling fast for the best price. As a long distance seller, he made the process easy and convenient with both online and phone communication. His negotiation skills are top notch and handling of multiple offers was masterful. Thank you for making this a stress free experience as a first time seller!"

"I used Skykar to sell my home and then purchase another. Skylar adds value to the transaction by providing evaluation of the market, appreciation trends, and excellent input on the listing price analysis. Realtors I have dealt with before were little more than "door openers" so it was a real find to get a referral to Skylar and learn that he exceeded my expectations in terms of market knowledge, advice for listing price, and the selection of a new neighborhood in my price range that would hold its value and also appreciate over the next few years. Skylar ahelped me find an affordable single family home in an urban market full of condos, attached multi-floor townhomes, and high priced single family options. Overall, it was an excellent transaction on both the buying and selling ends and I would recommend Skylar if you're seeking a realtor who adds value to the transaction by providing an accurate analysis of the market where you're likely to get your best buy as well as how to sell your home quickly for top dollar."

"I have worked with a significant number of Real Estate Agent/Brokers over the years, so the process of selling a house was not totally new to me. I was fortunate this time to have a really great real estate professional to work with. Skylar Agnew was cordial, informative, and persistent in his efforts to originally earn my business with him - and I am glad he was!
Once we agreed to work together I am of the firm opinion that I could not have selected a more valuable person to act in my best interests in selling my property. Skylar is extremely knowledgeable, provides great commitment and effort, and is wonderfully communicative, responsive and thorough. His strategic expertise really paid off in determining and developing the important factors relative to listing my property. His explanation of any details I wanted to know about was easy to understand and complete.
My property was a single family rental home a considerable distance from where I live. Skylar was very courteous and efficient in working with my tenants and my property management representative as well. His professionalism, energy, and planning drove the sales effort strongly right from the start. As a result, we had multiple offers above my asking price the very first week of the listing.
Skylar led the way in negotiating a very satisfactory final agreement with the finalist buyer's representative, getting through the required paperwork, and guiding me towards and through the sale closing. This was an excellent experience for me - listing to final closing just six weeks - and I could not be more pleased. If you work with Skylar Agnew, you should look forward to a high level of gratification as well."

Our journey to find a new home was a very long one. We started over 2 years ago, even going as far as thinking of trying to find land to build. We met Skylar by referral and he proved to be fantastic. He was able to step up and find potential homes for us we hadn't thought of. When we did finally find a house - we seemed to hit a snag at every single step (due to difficult sellers and then buyers) in both closing on the new house and selling our old house. Even down to the last day, Skylar pulled it all off with class. Needless to say, Skylar went above and beyond in his call to duty. He was able to work with the other realtors smoothly, and explained every step of the journey. He even had to educate the other realtors on the law a few times - showing his knowledge of the law, and his ability to work smoothly with others in a positive and educational manner.
I have no reservations about Skylar, and will refer any and all of my friends to him - and even use him again if I need to sell my home (which I hope won't be for decades!)- user7200917
We had a great experience using Skylar as our buyers agent. We made a quick move up to the area and wanted to find a home fairly quickly. Skylar went to work for us right away, even calling off-market properties to see if he could find us a better deal than what was on the market. We always felt like he was working for us and was very attentive.
What I appreciated most about Skylar was his honesty about the properties we viewed. He told us what he didn't like about certain properties and warned us when he noticed things that would need expensive repairs. He noticed things about homes that we did not notice, but probably would have bothered us if we had bought any of those homes.
Skylar really listened to us and understood what we were looking for. He never wasted our time looking at properties that didn't fit our family. He was also very knowledgeable about the area and about what homes were good investments.
- user43240944
It was a great experience working with Skylar selling my house. His vast knowledge in the greater Seattle area allowed us to price the house just right. In no time, the house has an offer without much negotiations.
He has always been available and gives his 100% on any questions I had on the process. The whole process took less than a month. Living 1000 miles away from the house, I thought it would take a couple of trips to Seattle. But Skylar provided excellent support over email and phone and helped me with all the paper work.
I highly recommend Skylar for your real estate needs.

"I enjoyed working with Skylar immensely. If you judge by appearances, you might underestimate him: he seems very young, is a bit scruffy, and is rather hyperactive. Get past that, and you will find he is obsessed with satisfying every client. He has extensive knowledge of the real estate market and offers compelling advice about price and investment quality of properties. He goes out of his way to be available when his clients need him.
Skylar is very good at finding properties that a client's Zillow search will miss. He turns up available off-market homes and listed houses that somehow don't fit the search. He took a personal interest in my requirements and preferences. I had some rather particular location constraints, and he quickly adapted and found excellent properties that I would not have found.
Skylar goes the extra mile. I found an exciting property on a Sunday two hours before the open house closed and learned that they were reviewing offers that evening. I called Skylar and asked if he could look at the property and write an offer. He was doing things with his dad, so he and dad showed up half an hour later, the two of them helped me to examine the house and ask questions, then Skylar borrowed my laptop to write the offer before 6pm.
Finally, Skylar keeps it together under stress. He was having a terrible car week - someone broke his window, his transmission overheated, other problems... When his car was broken he enlisted his dad's help and his girlfriend's help, showed up and got the job done."
