Testimonials

Ida was an amazing person to work with. She took the time to show us many different properties and made sure she had knowledge about each one so that she could answer any questions we had. If she did not have the answer she was very efficient in getting the answers we sought in a timely manner. Ida is personable and really likes to connect with her clients. I would recommend Ida to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Ida was amazing during the whole home buying process. She was so helpful and made this experience that much better for us. She responded in a timely manner and made sure we were well taken care of when it came to making sure things were done and ready to go on time. I would highly recommend her!

I was on deployment and reached out to Ida as I needed help finding a place on relatively short notice and in a hot market. Ida laid out a house-hunting plan for me and the day after I got back to the area we were looking at houses.

After a couple of "almost but not exactly what I am looking for" homes, Ida suggested we tweak our approach and expand my search area. Within a day we found a near-perfect match, put an offer in, and had it accepted.

I really could not have asked for more from Ida. From the first contact to closing Ida was professional, knowledgeable, and ready to help at the moment's notice. I can't praise the work Ida did for me enough. My only regret is I didn't follow her recommendation on the mortgage lender. I highly recommend Ida.

My wife and I were introduced to Ida through a friend within the Navy. My friend had recently purchased a home in WA through Ida while living in Florida and I was aiming to do the same. "Sight unseen" was a buzzword used for many months leading up to us finally walking into our new beautiful home on Whidbey Island.
Naturally, I had many reservations about going through my first home buying experience, while across the country, and without even being able to see the home with my own eyes before signing the documents. I'll tell you what though, Ida made it possible.
Ida personally took tons of pictures, videos, and sent detailed write-ups about what the homes looked like from the moment you drove into the neighborhood all the way down to how noisy it was sitting on the back deck for a beer. She was able to tactfully answer all of our questions about home inspections, escrow paperwork, and mortgage finances. Things that are all foreign to someone who has lived in college apartments all their life.
I did not realize when dealing with her from across the country what lengths she had to go in order to send these hand captured photos and videos. After finally meeting her in person and familiarizing myself with the geography of western Washington, I realized that every time she was sending photos or videos or honoring the wife and I's countless requests like "hey Ida, we like that picture of the bathroom, but could you get one more picture from the other side so we can see the back of the door?," turns out she was driving 2.5 hrs and 2 different ferry rides to get to these homes from where she lives.
Bottom line: If you are looking at buying a home in the PNW from out of state, you are new to the area, and you demand a realtor who will leave no stone unturned for her buyer, Ida is the one.

Ida was extremely responsive to calls, questions, inquiries throughout our home buying experience. As a first-time home buyer, there were MANY questions about the process and Ida was right there with a knowledgeable and understandable explanation. We could not have been happier with her professionalism and care of us through this process.

Ida helped us to find our first single-family home. I was very nervous about the home buying process, because I had to do it with my 9-month-old daughter, without my husband. He has been away for training.
Ida wasn't just sensitive about our situation but made me super comfortable. I was amazed by her knowledge of the real estate business. She has tons of experience and goes out of her way to get whatever her clients want or need. If you're looking to buy or sell a house do not hesitate to call her, I can only recommend her so much.

Ida came very highly recommended when we found out we would be transferred to the Seattle area. We knew we wanted to buy in Poulsbo, and we would also be buying our first home sight unseen with a VA loan. This felt daunting to us as the buyer, but Ida has tons of experience with VA buyers, sight unseen purchases, and knows a ton about the Poulsbo/Kitsap county area. Ida helped us through the entire process. We were able to purchase a wonderful home in an amazing location that was priced way over budget, by having Ida negotiate it into our price range. We are so happy to have had the chance to work with Ida. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

It was a year-long process to get a home bought for us. Ida was there the whole way. Through the tears and frustration and finally the happy end result.

She is honest & never told me just what I wanted to hear. She is cool, calm, and collected. Even when I am not.

I truly believe we got the house we got because of her.

Her skill in extracting just what you like and what is important to you on a personal level is amazing. She helped us find our new home in a matter of days and walked us through the process and answered questions promptly and on layman's terms. Her background in understanding Military life and the stress of the moves is so calming when making your choices of commute to and from the bases. Her knowledge of the area from historic points to the newest hippest things to do is so helpful in making the choice of which location will be your new happy place!
