Pickett Street Properties

Recently sold a home with this team. I had previously (like a year+ before) gotten a market estimate from Katie who was always very helpful and zero pressure. At that time, i was ½ and ½ on selling (my mortgage was cheaper than rent in the area, so had to be great incentive to sell)
Long story shorter, I did end up deciding to sell. Got my questions answered all along the way. The staging consultant was very helpful and i ended up selling for 10% above listing price which, obviously, was pretty awesome.
They handled all the paperwork, all the showings, all the offers… it was super easy and I was kept in the loop the entire time.
The only thing more they could have done was help me move haha

Dave and his team were very helpful in our long distant negotiations. I gave him 5 stars even though I felt sometimes he was pushing too hard to close the deal too quickly instead of working for the good of the buyers (us). In the end he and Katie came through for us and we greatly appreciate them. I especially appreciate him keeping our sons informed and walking through with them since we were not able to be there. I would definitely use them again or recommend them to anyone selling or buying property. I also liked the interaction between them and Caliber Loans.

We recently listed an investment property with Pickett Street Properties and were really happy with the results. We really liked their team approach. Basically, they have a team of specialists. Jesse, the listing agent, helped us with a listing, marketing and pricing strategy. From there, he handed it off to Ashley to help us get the condo ready to list. Once the listing was live, we were kept up to date on all showings and offers that were received. They presented all of the offers in a way that helped us understand the various details of each offer so we could make the best decision for us. Because we were selling a condo there were some inspection items that we needed to take care of and some that the HOA had to take care of. Ashley helped us figure out how to negotiate all of that so that we could keep the deal moving forward to an on-​time closing. While Jesse would have stepped back in if we needed him to, we never did. He and his team did a great job for us at every point in the process. They always do.

The team at Pickett Street did a wonderful job helping my wife and I find the perfect house for our small family. We have been in our house about a year now and we are so thankful for all there help and support. We had a Relator before and they didn’t really help us find «our house» we only looked at properties that were convenient for them. With Jillian, Kim, and the whole Pickett Street team behind us we found our house quickly and closing was sooth and easy.

My home sold in the first week of listing and $ 20K over asking price. Jesse presented a great strategy up front and followed through on every item. He and his team worked well together and kept me informed on every offer, had a high degree of enthusiasm and were very helpful coordinating stagers and repair contractors. I have read some of the negative reviews and have to say that my experience was positive through the entirety of the sale. I was selling my home before getting married and moving into a new house. The sale went so smoothly that my fiancé also asked Jesse and Pickett Street to sell his house. Again, the process was seamless. The house sold in 4 weeks and $ 9K over asking. My husband has sold several houses in his life and said that Jesse was by far the best. We were extremely impressed and would use him again in a heartbeat.

Hi I just want to inform the public that we recently purchased a home in which Keller Williams Bothell aka Pickett Street was the listing Broker. The agent was Jesse Moore supposedly working with oversight to Ashley Hogue. We agreed to repairs done prior to a purchase that would be done which were not done to code nor to any realtor ethical standard. The short of it is that home had a 3 ½’ x 3 ½ foot rotted wall space on a bearing wall. The wall was covered up by new tiling — though framing was rotted through to the point where you could see directly to the outside water membrane.
— This was such a LARGE and GLARING hole, that the same contractor who did the bathroom the first time not to code and ‘supposedly’ didn’t discover it then, suddenly had to ‘discover’ when they had to redo it. He tried to charge us. LAF! If anyone wonders, yes, we did our due diligence and had an inspection, but the wall was newly ‘renovated’ while Keller Williams Aka Pickett Street were broker and jesse moore and ashley hogue were the listing agent — covered up with no disclosure.
–Contractor was in regular communication with Ashley Hogue of Keller Williams Bothell aka Pickett Street, still no disclosure from ANY of the 3 parties involved!!! This is far from over … We are seriously considering a lawsuit toward the seller and beyond. I also have pics of rot in wall, don’t know if anyone here wants to see it-​I can send or post. When we complained to the broker Mark, his response letter was that upon talking with HIS agent, (not a single call or contact to us the buyers), he said they had done nothing wrong.
Oh, and ‘Mark’ couldn’t even bother spelling our name right, despite the fact that this was a multi-​thousand dollar commission Keller Williams received. Funny how that works…
We had to go back and forth with this company causing countless weeks of stress, and many many hours of time, for over 2 months AFTER CLOSING with this company, just to get things functioning and a bathroom we could use safely.
I just want to inform the public, both sellers who could end up being sued and buyers, to beware.

Pickett Street team did an amazing job on the most impossible short sale ever. Our home had a first mortgage with Bank of America, and a second HELOC with USAA. The HELOC posed a huge problem because it was technically a line of credit and not a second mortgage. USAA refused to release the lien on our home for months until they could secure a larger payoff than what the first lien holder was willing to pay. On top of that, we had a utility lien of $ 5000 for the sewer connection. We were not in the position to pay any of these liens off and needed to sell our house. My husband had lost his job, and this 1200 sq. ft. 3 bd. 1 ba. home did not fit our family of 6 anymore.
We listed with Jesse Moore because he has the knowledge, experience, and team to get the job done. Even when the banks repeatedly refused the terms that would make the sale work, Pickett Street continued to push the envelope. They did whatever they could think of including emails up the chain of command and Youtube videos on the banks’ Facebook pages. They continually found new ways to rattle their cages in hopes to convince them to release their liens and allow the short sale. After we were told «no» a dozen or so times and foreclosure was imminent, my husband and I had given up hope. In that moment on the 11^th hour, I received a call that we had lender consent from both banks and we were finally going to close! Pickett Street pulled it off! They were able to convince both the first and the second lien holder to agree to the short sale terms and not require us to come in with any cash. Jesse and Fred are amazing and relentless in their pursuit of conquering until the job is done. I am very impressed and forever grateful for the work they have done for us.

The members of the Pickett Street team work together to combine their expertise and deliver the best possible outcome for the client. Since each member specializes in a particular area, there are no broken links and the process is smooth from start to finish whether you are buying or selling. Their knowledge, work ethic, skill level, and efficiency is the best I’ve witnessed in the industry.
My specific experience is working with Jillian to purchase my home. Her insight to the unique market area and proficiency in the closing process aided her ability in targeting my «wish list» and helped me find the absolute most for my budget. Buying a home can be a tedious process, and as a first time home buyer, the prospect seemed daunting and overwhelming. However, Jillian’s patience, availability, and willingness to answer my questions helped make the process go very smoothly. As an added bonus, she was enthusiastic and made me feel excited about being a home owner. She worked tirelessly to make sure I was happy in the end.
I would recommend Jillian to anyone looking for a dedicated agent, whether it is their first home purchase or their 100^th, and the rest of the Pickett Street team for an outstanding overall experience!

I used them for both selling my home and buying my new home.
They are a team set up so that each person has a specialty (listing, buying, etc…)
Let’s start with the selling of my home. We used the tactic of slightly lower than market pricing to drive multiple offers (Jan 2013) After several low ball offers they advised me to accept the low offers even though market research showing homes like mine selling for much more.
After several weeks they recommended lowering the price of my house since i hit a time limit even though the house was showing with very positive feedback and multiple offers. I decided not to follow their advice and kept the price as is. I soon sold it for $ 10K over list and great terms and conditions. Had i followed their advice i would have walked away from ~$ 40K. Oh and the listing agent moved to Leavenworth 1 week after listing my home.
Now to the buying a new home… If you want to pay someone to set up showings that you find then this is your team. With the exception of an automated email they did not do much to help me search for a home. They would not preview homes to see if they fit what i liked (they actually asked me to drive by them prior to showing so i did not waste their time) (seems backwards to me).
There are too many errors to call out
Jillian was completely outclassed by the listing agent of the house we put a contract in on and we ended up with a very prolonged and unfavorable negotiation.
Once again, if you want to pay someone for YOUR work in finding a home then choose this group otherwise save yourself some money and go with Redfin (at least you get money towards closing with them for your work)
On a good note we finally closed on our new home and it is beautiful and we love it.
