Thanks to John Madrid's expertise and dedication, I found my dream home. John knows how to create a winning strategy in Seattle's competitive market. Throughout the home buying process, John guided us with his expertise and highlighted any risks that we should be aware of. More importantly, John was never pushy and he always let us make an informed decision. I’m incredibly grateful for John's support and would recommend him to anyone in need of a top-notch real estate professional!

Having just moved to Seattle, John helped us find our new home. We worked with John over 6 months, navigating the ups and downs of the competitive Seattle housing market. John is incredibly patient. He'll learn about your wants and needs and then guide you on properties you should consider or avoid. He'll guide you away from homes that you might get emotional about, but won't fit your criteria. All the same, he'll remind you to think through your compromises and advice on what are meaningful ones to give up on. His knowledge of the Seattle area and housing options are incredible! John works with you at your pace. You're never rushed or pressured EVER. He'll happily take you to as many places as you need and also visit places on your behalf if you cannot make it. Rest assured, you'll have no regrets when you land a place you like with John!

As first-time homebuyers, we were apprehensive with a lot to learn about Seattle's housing market. John's deep knowledge of the greater Seattle area, combined with his ability to help us discern the benefits/tradeoffs of a given property and how it matched up against our priorities, put us at ease. He guided us with patience and was always available to answer questions about the homebuying process. When it came time to put in our first offer, he coached us on how to put our best foot forward - and we were successful. We highly recommend working with John!

John was a terrific partner throughout our first home buying experience in Seattle. He helped us understand the neighborhoods, schooling options, the types of homes to expect and the likelihood of finding our deal breakers (e.g., number of bedrooms and their layout in the house). John entertained ALL of our questions and empowered us to make a decision that was right for us while not being afraid to give his honest opinion. We didn't want an agent who would simply say "it's your decision." While it was in the end, we wanted someone to still weigh in with "if it were me..." He shared his experiences both as an agent and in his personal home buying and selling journey over the years - both were invaluable. Especially in an uncertain market, he guided us through a sound strategy and held our hands when we needed it. He was compassionate and professional, incredibly generous and understanding. The contacts he had for mortgage loans, painters, locksmiths, etc. made it a smooth process. We ended up beating two other offers while getting great value. John was in our corner throughout, and we'll be in his forever.

John is an exemplary professional. He’s a strong communicator, highly responsive to clients’ needs, and extremely knowledgeable about the Seattle market. John helped me buy my very first home in Seattle and now my second. His collaborative approach makes the challenging process of home-buying manageable. There’s no problem he can’t solve. I highly recommend him!
