How we represent buyers.
The rules changed in 2024. Working with a broker who knows them cold is the difference.
The buyer agreement, explained first.
Washington buyers now sign a written buyer agency agreement, the NWMLS Form 41 era. We walk you through exactly what it says, what our services cost, and how that fits your purchase, before you sign anything. No assumed rate, no fine print.
One broker, every step.
The person who tours homes with you is the person who writes your offer and sits beside you at closing. No lead queue, no handoff to an assistant.
Negotiation grounded in real numbers.
We price your offer against what is actually selling nearby, not a hunch. Where value is the question, we bring appraisal expertise to the table.
The search, step by step.
A calm, numbered process. You always know what comes next.
- Step 1
Consult
We sit down, in person or by phone, to map your must-haves, your budget, and your timeline. This is where we cover the buyer agreement and answer every question.
- Step 2
Search and tour
You get a curated set of homes worth your Saturday, not a firehose of listings. We tour together and talk through each one honestly.
- Step 3
Offer and negotiate
When you find the one, we build an offer priced on real comparable sales and negotiate the terms that protect you.
- Step 4
Inspect and finance
We line up inspection and financing through vetted local vendors in the client portal, and we read every report with you.
- Step 5
Close
We track every deadline to the finish and hand you the keys. Then we are still here for the next question.
Financing and inspection, made simple.
Two of the biggest steps in a purchase, handled through vetted local partners in your client portal.
Financing
Connect with local lenders through the portal, compare real quotes side by side, and get your questions answered in plain English. You choose who you work with. We make the introductions easy and keep the paperwork moving.
Inspection
Book a trusted local inspector through the portal, then sit down with us to read the report together. We help you tell a real repair issue from a normal wear item, so you negotiate from facts.
The Summit edge
Free appraisal support, in house.
Sean Reynolds, our Designated Broker and owner, also owns Reynolds & Kline Appraisal.
Before you make an offer, you can get an appraiser-grade read on value at no extra cost. Most buyers never get that. Ours do.
Fair questions.
The ones buyers ask us first.
Do I have to sign a buyer agreement?
Yes. Since the 2024 rule changes, Washington buyers sign a written buyer agency agreement, the NWMLS Form 41 era. We walk you through exactly what it says, what our services cost, and how that fits your purchase, before you sign anything. No assumed rate, no fine print.
Will I work with the same broker the whole way?
Yes. The person who tours homes with you is the person who writes your offer and sits beside you at closing. No lead queue, no handoff to an assistant.
How do you decide what to offer?
We price your offer against what is actually selling nearby, not a hunch, then negotiate the terms that protect you. Where value is the question, we bring appraisal expertise to the table.
What is free appraisal support?
Sean Reynolds, our Designated Broker and owner, also owns Reynolds & Kline Appraisal. Before you make an offer, you can get an appraiser-grade read on value at no extra cost.
Do I have to use a lender you choose?
No. You choose who you work with. Through the client portal you can connect with vetted local lenders and compare real quotes side by side. We make the introductions easy and keep the paperwork moving.
What does the first conversation cost?
Nothing. The first conversation is free and there is no pressure. We can sit down in person or talk by phone: call the office at 425-451-3342.
