Testimonials

I highly recommend Charlie as real estate agent, and I consider myself lucky to have found him. Unlike some other agents I have used in the past, Charlie really understood what I was looking for, and helped me focus on just the properties that were a fit for me. This saved time and frustration, which made the home search process pretty painless for me. Searching for properties on my own, I was on the cusp of buying a house that wasn't quite right for me, Charlie not only saved me from that mistake, but helped me find something that is many times better than that house. I am now in a home, in the neighborhood I want, with a mortgage I can afford...and very happy about it. Thanks, Charlie!

Over the summer I was thinking of selling my rental property in Tacoma. When I returned to Seattle, I found an introductory letter from Charles in my mailbox. I called him from my car in the parking lot at the Post Office. He was very knowledgeable and we had a great initial conversation. His responsiveness to every aspect of our transaction was right on. He worked with me in answering questions, and having multiple discussions on getting through the inspection process and making necessary repairs. I would definitely use Charles on a future transaction and have already recommended him to several people in my network.

I've worked with Charles several times over the last 12 years buying and selling homes or condos. I've always received good advice without being pushed into decisions. Charles was always responsive and engaged letting me know what was going on and what to expect.

My wife and I were very happy and satisfied with the excellent job Charles Burnett did with the sale of our house and purchase of our new home. He was very patient, paid special attention to every detail and made the process look seamless, to our great surprise the whole process took 2 months. He is very knowledgeable and the end result showed his expertise. We were very pleased and very happy with his work. We would highly recommend him and his staff to anyone needing quick results.

Charles has a nuanced understanding of principal - agent relationships. He advises and recommends, not dictates or pressures. He does what needs doing, including coordinating inspections and repairs. He calls, emails or texts throughout the process. He's not afraid to back you in rejecting an offer you don't like, or to gently guide you away from unwise positions or demand. He's the guy for Seattle real estate.

Charles helped us purchase our first home and we could not be more pleased with his service! We heard horror stories from friends who have lost multiple homes in bidding wars, and we were prepared for a difficult process. Thanks to Charles that was not the case for us! He acted fast and worked with the seller throughout the process and we won the bid, even though our first offer was not the highest. Once we were in contract, Charles helped us navigate the process and explained each step in detail. Every step was planned and we always knew what to bring and what to expect. It's a complicated process and this level of service was a big bonus for new buyers like us! One of the best parts about working with Charles is that he brings a complete team to the table. From our escrow team, to the home and sewer inspector, we saw nothing but professional service. He was also very accommodating along the way, working around our schedules to sign papers and make the make the deal happen rapidly without disrupting our work day. In the end, we got the home we wanted at the price we wanted, and we can't recommend him enough

After one agent was unable to help us secure financing (we had a short sale on our record) we got in touch with Charles. Within a couple of days, he had a mortgage broker who could work with us. A few days after that, we were looking at houses.The first house he showed us was a perfect fit and we put in an offer that night. With his help, we got our offer accepted in a hot market without having to throw money at the seller. Charles worked hard during the negotiations to get the seller to do some additional last minute work on the house. During the entire process he was available and very quick to respond. We closed a few weeks later and couldn't be happier in our new home.

Charlie helped me sell my home as a Short Sale during trying economic times. He was a true professional. He was knowledgeable about the area and the market and readily available at all times. I thank him for his patience, understanding, and tenacity especially while working with my over burdened lender. He was there every step of the way and made it happen without inconvenience. I HIGHLY recommend Charlie to anyone looking for the "BEST in the BUSINESS" to sell their home. He truly has the customer's best interest at heart from the moment he meets them until the job is done. Thanks Charlie again for everything!

Charles has been great to work with during my quest for multi-tenant properties. He was great at negotiating with the sellers and their agents and sucessfully ran interference whenever things started to go sideways. He has an excellent understanding of the market and the purchasing process. In the future I will always go to him for any real estate transactions because I know I'll get great service.

Charles Burnett is an excellent real estate agent who helped sell a Federal Way multi-family home all within 30 days. I picked Charles after considering carefully other Real Estate agents I’ve worked with and feel that he has given me the kind of service and dedication that goes above and beyond all the others. As an example, one of the things that Charles does which goes above and beyond everyone else, is main an extensive database of interested agents, ex-buyers, sellers, investors or other interested parties. He uses this list to specifically target contacts that might be interested in the property which he is the agent for. This raises marketing exposure and I’ve known no one else that does this. This is how my property was sold, through a contact that Charles had whos client was looking for a multi-family home. Charles has a very good marketing strategy and doesn’t just “place it on the MLS” and then walk away, or pressure the seller to place the house under market value. Charles is also very easy to work with and I’d recommend him to anyone.

Thinking about buying or selling your home? Then I highly recommend Charles Burnett as your partner in the process. As a first time seller, I appreciated Charlie’s collaborative approach in getting my townhouse ready for sale. He pulled together a comprehensive market analysis on current listings and recent sales, toured me through comparable properties, and made suggestions on some low cost/high return improvements I could make to help my home stand out – very important given there were similar townhomes for sale in the neighborhood. After 6 weeks, my home sold for 97% of asking price. What I learned is pricing competitively and staging your home are critical; and Charlie’s suggestion of hiring a professional photographer to shoot photos for the online listing, flyers, etc. was well worth the expense. On the buying side, Charlie was there every step of the way; from previewing properties to negotiating offers. His expertise, professionalism, patience and sense of humor have helped me feel more confident in the process, which is so critical given today’s market.
