I would recommend her to anyone lookingtopurchaseahomeinWashington.
I can’t recommend Carrie Freeman enough as a real estate agent. We got connected with her through BECU while starting our home buying process. This was our first house, and there were lots of things we didn’t know at the start of the process. Carrie wasamazingatbothexplainingthingswewouldn’tknowtoaskabout,andanswering allofthequestionswehad(andwehadalotofquestions).Andwiththemarketbeing as crazy and competitive as it is, you need a real estate agent who will act fast and do whatittakestogetyouintoyournexthome.Carriedideverythingpossibletofindus ourhomeandgetundercontract.Wecouldn’tbehappierwithhavingheronourside through this process!

-NatT. -CarolineS -ChristyC.Carrie is great to work with. She’s very responsive to situations and always had our best interest in mind. Her expertise and vast experience shines through. Giving us sound advice especially with the current economy and market trends. She’s there from beginning to end of the process and always on top of things. Carrie has helped us and our family purchase and sell homes these past two decades and we couldn’t askforabetteragenttorepresentusineachscenario.
-AftaE.Carrie was patient and extremely helpful while I tried to find the right home for myself and a family member. She replied quickly to my questions, helped guide me through the 1st time buyers process and even after the sale was done, she was very responsive to my questions. When a problem in my new home presented itself the same week I moved in, Carrie jumped in and took care of it. I am very grateful for her exceptional customer service; she stepped up when she could have said the sale is done and there is nothing I can do. I would highly recommend Carrie for your next realestateagent.
