Testimonials

​Fred sold my Triplex during the peak of the Covid 19 virus outbreak. As an out of state owner, I was impressed with how Fred anticipated every issue that popped up. From notifying the tenants and keeping them calm, to being onsite during all the inspections and appraisal...and negotiating the work that needed to be done. Fred's assistant Lucy helped coordinate the interaction with the tenants. He has excellent communication skills and was always available to speak with me. He kept me updated each and every step of the process and spoke honestly with me.  His Title and Escrow partner arranged the closing documents to be signed at my home in California.

I'm now retired and have bought and sold many properties in my life and I must say that Fred is the best real estate broker I have ever worked with.

​​Fred handled the sale of my mother's estate property during the corona virus pandemic. The entire process was extremely complicated. Fred was in contact with us almost on a daily basis because of the amount of paperwork involved in correctly transferring the deed and getting all the heirs to participate. He came to our home many times to drop off paperwork and explain legal issues we were unfamiliar with. Fred was very straight forward and professional. He negotiated an excellent price for our family. The purchaser was an Amazon software manager who paid cash in a very short period of time. We highly recommend his services.

"After having listed with another agent with minimal results, we switched to Fred. The activity his marketing efforts generated was impressive. His initiative and follow-through was very professional. We will certainly utilize his skills and services in the future and will be happy to provide any references."  

Ward and Bonnie Taylor, Corporate Executive

"Excellent negotiation and marketing skills.We used Fred's services on several properties including our current waterfront home. Fred has become a good friend and we continue to recommend him to everyone."

​Scott Freeman, Boeing Engineer

​

"Aggressive, motivated, problem solver, perseverant and he kept my transaction on the "front burner" even though I know he must have been busy with other, more profitable transactions. This I truly appreciate."

Baron Borrelli, Investor

​

"Our family has used Fred's services for over 20 years. We've had him help us buy or sell 8 or more properties through the years. We have a large extended family and Fred helped us with everything from condominiums to apartment buildings and homes. I consider him a close family friend."

Elena Malyuta, Business Owner

 

"After working with several real estate agents in the past, Fred is the first agent we feel was truly working for us and our interests. Fred handled a 1031 tax deferred exchange for us, which we were a both buyer and a seller. Fred's attention to detail, his diplomacy and his thorough follow-up on all aspects of the transactions meant the difference between success and failure. As negotiations neared completion, he was able to work through some difficult matters and arrive at solutions that were mutually satisfactory to all parties. During closing, Fred left no stone unturned to thoroughly communicate with all parties, including escrow, to assure that closing occurred smoothly, accurately and on time. His hard work has paid off for us. In summary, Fred is the most dedicated, loyal and effective agent we have ever dealt with. We will definitely go to Fred for our future needs and most highly recommend him to others who can use his services." 

Ed and Myrna Englund, Investor

 

"We liked his pro-active marketing approach. Our apartment buildings had been in the family for many years and needed a lot of work. His knowledge of the multifamily real estate market and his problem solving skills exceeded our expectations. He also helped us sell a large waterfront property that was ready for development. He introduced a developer to us that worked out perfectly. He is candid, positive and always kept us informed. We will definitely work with him again."

 Ralph and Norma Foss---Foss Family Trust

 

"Excellent job! Fred kept everything on track and handled a most difficult situation very professionally. It wouldn't have closed without him."

Arthur Long, Investor

 

"The transaction couldn't have gone better. My tenants weren't disturbed in any way and he sold the apartment to a qualified buyer in a very short time frame." 

Rafael Kimpo, Boeing Engineer

 

"His persistence kept our deal together all the way to closing. He's very organized. We would recommend his services to any buyer or seller."

Jim and Nikkie Dalgarn

 

"Dear Fred, we want to thank you for your help and advice in redrafting the computer input data criteria pertaining to multifamily/apartment buildings for the Northwest Multiple Listing Service. Your experience in these types of properties is the reason we requested your assistance and have incorporated several of your ideas into the new NWMLS computer format."

Dick Pattison, Northwest Multiple Listing Service 


"Very professional! My previous agent couldn't get the job done. Fred and his staff kept me informed of all aspects of the marketing and sale process. Most important of all, he SOLD the building!"

David Speigel, Investor

Fred began his career as a licensed broker in 1985 and quickly developed a knack for marketing and selling in a difficult market.This was during a time of extremely high interest rates and a weak economy. His tenacious spirit landed him a contract with the Federal Government's newly appointed RTC program (Resolution Trust Corporation) to liquidate government foreclosure properties. This included management, leasing and the sale of commercial, multifamily, unfinished residential condominiums and undeveloped residential plats.  Although he has more than 30 years of experience in real estate, he continues to innovate and track real estate business trajectory.

A world traveler and trend spotter, in 2005 he anticipated the coming real estate crash and sold most of his real estate holdings at the peak of the market and moved to China in 2006. As a top producer, this shocked many of his friends, clients and colleagues.

He lived in Shanghai and Shenzhen and started a successful  business. Again, spotting trends of  political and economic turmoil in China, Fred sold his business and returned to Bellevue in 2016 and jumped back into real estate brokerage and the land development business.

​His story is remarkable.
