Steve and Sandra were fantastic to work with. They guided, supported and kept us informed through the whole process. They treated us like people, always listening to our unique specific needs.
They were very professional and thorough, paying careful attention to all the details involved in successfully selling a house.
They provided a complete package of steps which we followed to ensure that our house was in the best position possible at the time it went on the market. They were also very skilled in marketing our house to reach appropriate buyers. The results exceeded our expectations and we are delighted!
We enthusiastically recommend Steve and Sandra to anyone who is in need of outstanding real-estate agents. We certainly would use them again.

Positive:
We owned our home for 37 years. Our first contact to meet Steve and Sandra was five months before our home sold. There was never any pressure to move forward faster, it was all up to us. Having lived in our home so long, needless to say it was quite emotional for me. Every step of the way, even down to leaving my hummingbirds, I never felt like any of my issues were silly. I can’t say enough about how wonderful it was working with Steve and Sandra. One of the biggest changes in our life and they made it absolutely seamless. The professionalism that Steve and Sandra have definitely showed with the final sale of our house. l have already recommended them to friends. Thank you so much for making this transition in our lives so wonderful and easy. You guys are the best Steve and Sandra!!!!

Steve and Sandra have guided my family through several real estate transactions. We have been thrilled with their customer service, based on years of experience in the NW Seattle area. The recent listing and sale of our home in Ballard went very well. Sandra helped us to focus on what would sell our home for the most money with the least hassle. Steve marketing is fantastic, he truly is a word wizard! We highly recommend Sandra Brenner and Steve Hill at Windermere and would hire them again.

Sold another home in Seattle WA.
Positive:
My wife and I were moving up in houses, we sold a home in Greenwood and bought a home in Issaquah, both with Steve Hill and Sandra Brenner. Moving is definitely a difficult process, but Brenner and Hill made the selling and purchasing part of the equation very easy. They gave us helpful and practical advice on what we needed to do to spruce up the ‘old’ house and helped us negotiate a few difficult issues with the ‘new’ house. We got the new house for about 5% less than the asking price and with the old house we received about 9% over our asking price, in short we came out looking pretty good in the deal. We had some tight time constraints with money that we had borrowed and needed to sell the ‘old’ house fairly quickly. It sold the first weekend and was completely closed in a just a few weeks. We are happily set in our new house and would recommend Brenner and Hill to everyone.
Four-year addendum: still very happy with the “new” home. I liked working with Steve and Sandra so much I enlisted them again when I was tasked with selling my parents long-time home after both of them passed away. It was an older house that needed a lot of work. Steve and Sandra pointed out where our money and time would be best spent to get the house into selling condition.
By my calculation we spent about $50,000 in repairs and fix-ups and the results was a price $250,000 higher than the estimate of the house. A 5 to 1 return on your investment is pretty good deal!
Despite the older house having a lot of “issues” we had a well qualified buyer offer well over asking price in just a few days, and had final closing and money in the bank in less than a month.
Steve and Sandra are a well qualified team that makes the nightmare process of selling a house as easy as it could possibly be.

Positive:
Hey all, I just wanted to stop by to give a glowing recommendation for Steve Hill at Windermere. He represented me on a home purchase on the coast and was the definition of above and beyond. He took the time to not just throw listings at me, but to understand what I needed from a home for my lifestyle and supply me with myriad options in those categories. He worked closely with my brokers to provide me with all options and when I found the perfect home he negotiated masterfully on my behalf. As someone who is very busy and often overwhelmed, I could count on Steve to keep me informed and make the whole process fun. He was prompt on showings and a pleasure to work with all around. If you want to use this time when houses have been sitting for a while and sellers are more receptive to negotiation, Steve and his team will work to get you a phenomenal deal and know the market better than anyone I have worked with.

Positive:
From beginning to end, Sandra and Steve made the process of unexpectedly having to sell an incredibly easy process. They were the most professional Realtors I have worked with. They were obviously very experienced, knowledgeable, and authentically kind and friendly. They silver plattered every step of the way, from setting us up with a company to do a handful of repairs, lawn and yard maintenance, house cleaner, a Stager, and so much more. We really appreciated their availability to have conversations and give feedback about what to fix and what to add to make the house sell as well as possible. We just couldn’t have had the house ready to go on the market in such great condition without their professional network and help. As they predicted, we sold the house for over listing price in just 5 days.
I have told many friends how great they were and would not hesitate to say they truly are a top notch Realtor duo.

Sandra and George worked with me and my son to buy his first condo. We were nearly overwhelmed by the complexity and number of tasks and details involved. Buying and financing real estate today is extremely complicated, and Sandra and George are really top-notch experts – you will be working with very experienced, very knowledgeable professionals who can explain things well and help you over the finish line. Their experience made all the difference in choosing where to look, how to make offers, when to counteroffer, etc. They answered all our crazy questions quickly and thoroughly, they built positive relationships with opposing brokers and our mortgage broker to help us through, they read and explained all the many documents involved with condos and real estate offers and purchasing. I know a lot about real estate law, and frankly I would never do this again without Sandra by my side – there is so much at stake!375

I lost track of how many times my wife and I had genuine laughs with Sandra and Steve. They have a great, down to Earth sense of humor that reflects how grounded and in touch they are with the diverse Seattleites throughout the city’s neighborhoods.
Equally important: their business is not just having fun and laughs. Their approach to real estate is simultaneously laid back but ambitious in all the right ways on your behalf. They will drive your home sale towards a successful result if you follow their guidance. Their methods (including but not limited to photography, painting, staging, personalized website, etc.) also have impressive, professional execution that sets a benchmark for all other Realtors.
Sandra & Steve’s fun & focused real estate business would be a shoe-in for an HGTV show. You will breathe a sigh of relief with them guiding you through the Real Estate market.

Sold a home in Everett WA.
Positive:
Choosing a real estate agent to sell your largest investment obviously is a huge decision. Along with the financial aspect of selling a home is the emotional attachment that comes from living in your home for years and the personality of yourselves and the agent whom you will share a lot of information and time with. For my husband and I, it was particularly hard as penny pinchers, a hot real estate market (should we just sell it ourselves, should we let the “neighborhood specialist” who was also a lot cheaper sell it, and knowing we would be high maintenance as client for whoever we chose to work with – our personality styles with a lot of concerns/questions and being very detailed oriented), picking a good fit was going to be particularly hard. We knew we needed someone who would be very accessible.
I did a lot of research online in regard to how to choose a great realtor, and I did my own research on realtors who had a very active presence in the local real estate market. How I landed on Sandra Brenner I do not remember as it was years ago. I don’t remember when we first started working with Sandra and her work partner Steve Hill, but I would guess 2 – 3 years ago. Truly, it was one of the best decisions we have made! Particularly knowing now what we did not know then. We ended up getting Covid, the house was on the market, we changed our minds at the last minute where we were going to retire, AND a parent was put on hospice, we ended up taking the home off the market within days of putting it on the market. They gave us such grace! This was important to us, but truly what made them exceptional real estate agents is a gazillion other things.
It’s hard to remember all the things that they did for us – things we could see and many things behind the scene that we could not see. I would do this review an injustice if I tried to detail all the things that they did as there were too many and my memory is not great. What I can say is they are VERY THOROUGH, very professional, very accessible, no question was too small, had a huge network of other professionals to call on when needed for all the process of marketing and preparing the home for sale. It was apparent that this was not their job, but their life! I think both eat, sleep, and drink real estate!!! They helped in EVERY aspect of selling the home. The information they provided was priceless. The professionals we used were just as awesome. We felt that Sandra and Steve had our best interest at heart every step of the way. They did a lot of hand holding for me as I had mixed feelings leaving a home of 30 plus years where my kids were raised. They were just as concerned with us getting the home of our dreams in our new state, which we really appreciated their thoughtfulness.
When we put our home on the market a second time with Sandra and Steve about a year later, it sold for over the asking price, had 3 offers, and sold within a week. We could move on with our lives and not have to wait for the home to sell. The interest rates had raised, and the real estate market had cooled off. We could not have been happier with the help we got every single step of the way. We are very grateful we chose them. I know you will be happy you chose them. They will not disappoint you from home preparation, to marketing, to selling, to transferring ownership; they really know their business!

We met Sandra at an open house she was hosting over 15 years ago. When we decided to sell our own house after 33 years of ownership, we called her and Steve. They made the overwhelming and daunting sale of our house as easy as could be expected. Sandra and Steve helped prioritize the tasks that needed to be done prior to putting the house on the market. We really appreciated their recommendation to obtain a house inspection and sewer scope, so as to avoid any surprises during the sale. This provided us with peace of mind knowing what needed to be fixed and what needed to be disclosed.
Once the house was on the market, their marketing was excellent with extensive online exposure and open houses done on the Saturday and Sunday following the house being put on the market.
Being a team of two realtors meant that we were always able to easily contact one or both of them whenever a question arose. Once we went under contract, Sandra and Steve were great advocates for us and made the closing process seamless.
We will be using Sandra and Steve to sell another property next year. We highly recommend them as they are extremely experienced and seasoned in the real estate world.

We met Steve and Sandra at their open house. My wife and I were impressed with their professional advice and knowledge about the market. Even though we did not get the house they are selling, we decided to ask them to be our agent from that point. Then they helped us with three purchases and one selling. We are so grateful for their help along the way. We are so trust them we can make an offer to a house without seeing it if they told me the house is good. There were times, George would screen houses for us, so we don’t need to come out every time. They can do this because they spend a lot time research what we need, and always go beyond our expectation. Steve even provided me great advice on a vacation house in Eastern Washington, which brought me great return. Without their experiences, I wont have the confidence with a big investment like this. Without a doubt, we will still ask for their help with all our real estate needs in the future, and keep recommend them to our friends and family. I truly wish the best for them!

I found Steve and Sandra through a referral. It was the best referral I ever received. I needed to sell the Redmond, WA home of a deceased relative. I reside out of state. The home, like all homes, needed minor repairs. Contractors were booked for months out. Steve and Sandra have vast resources. With their help, contractors were located and the repairs were timely completed for very fair prices. In fact, Steve even went hands-on to ensure that every fixture in the home had a working lightbulb. The home looked amazing when it went to market. It sold well above list price in 3 days. It would not be possible to overstate how wonderful these two people are. Their hard work and professionalism made selling the home so easy that, at times, I still find it hard to believe that it is already sold. It’s unlikely that I will ever need to sell another home in WA. However, I wanted to write a review so that other sellers will find Steve and Sandra. Nobody should sell a home without them.

Positive:
There are many competent realtors – I have two in my family. However, when it came to selecting realtors to sell our North Beach home of 17 years, the choice was simple, Sandra Brenner and Steve Hill. I had known Sandra and referred UW colleagues and friends in the past, all of whom reported excellent outcomes. I met Steve briefly and then accepted his invitation to a Brenner/Hill educational seminar. It’s easy to like both Sandra and Steve but what impressed me in that first seminar was their well-documented process. Developed from their years of combined knowledge and expertise, their process is a proven formula for success. Steve and Sandra were extraordinarily patient while my husband and I eased into the idea of selling our home. Once on board, their process provided a near seamless roadmap from pre-inspection, preparation, and prioritized punch lists to closing. Sandra and Steve are remarkable resources throughout; communicative, accessible, honest, and responsive. We benefited from the exponential strength of their collective perspective and experience, as well as their well-curated network of vendors and contacts.
Beyond their business acumen, Steve and Sandra are consummate professionals with delightful personalities. We never experienced a moment of pressure from them. When my mother’s admission to hospice coincided with our house sale, they compassionately rearranged schedules and timepoints so I could focus on my mom. Their kindness and support were not part of their prescribed process, it is just who they are.
The house sale closed quickly and easily. There were no awkward conversations with the realtors in my family; Sandra and Steve’s results – and their process – spoke volumes.

All of the process are transparent and every provider they recommended are professional and reliable just like Steve and Sandra. I remember we at the very beginning we asked a lot of dumb questions but Steve was always there to answer them one by one and being very responsive and patient whenever we want to do a house tour. I couldn’t even remember Steve has ever said a no to my asks for house tour and we really appreciate it! Also when we’re about to making the offers, there are a lot of chances Sandra can just persuade us to go higher for an offer. But she was always asking and make sure we’re mentally and financially comfortable with our offer. So we never felt being pushed and of course wouldn’t worry about will regret our decision some time in the future. There are a lot of great things to mention for them and I can carry on for a whole day. But my point is in a nut shell, they’re a great team for their professionalism, reliability and staying neutral. That means a lot for us new buyers. Hopefully one day we could work together again! Thank you Steve and Sandra!

Positive:
We recently worked with Steve and Sandra to sell my in-laws’ home. We felt that the sale went really, really well. Steve and Sandra were able to calm our nerves many times throughout the process. We appreciated their patience and understanding as well as their ability to make us laugh. They were spot on regarding which items to update in the home to get the best sale result. We were very pleased with the final sale price; it exceeded our expectations! Steve and Sandra operate beautifully together, yet each has a special skillset in the sales process. Steve provided top notch service in marketing the property; holding successful open houses; completing a myriad of last minute tasks; and making sure everything was ready and waiting for the buyers. Sandra’s negotiation skills were top notch, and we were relieved to have someone with so much experience guide us through the offers as well as work with the buyers to secure the best offer possible. All in all, we would highly recommend working with the Brenner Hill team and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again!

Steve and Sandra are a fabulous team to “work” with – they made the selling of my mother-in-law’s home an easy process because they are helpful, organized, and highly knowledgeable about the RE market in Seattle. We benefited from their personal advice and their network of everyone from cleaners, window washers, stagers, and inspectors. Their anticipation of the necessary steps enabled us to sell her home in about five days – unbelievable!!! I would work with them again and would highly recommend Steve and Sandra to anyone looking for EXCEPTIONAL agents.

Sandra was great about walking me through the process of creating a competitive offer, and was very helpful in getting all of my questions answered promptly once we were under contract. I highly recommend Sandra and George to anyone who’s thinking about buying or selling, and would happily work with them again!

Positive:
We attended Steve and Sandra’s seminar in November of 2019 and found it to be extremely helpful. This was not a ninety minute infomercial; instead it was truly pressure free education for the benefit of the audience. After we made the decision in late March, we contacted them and there began a wonderful relationship with the two most professional, forward-thinking (and fun!) agents we could have hoped for. After closely examining the marketing tactics of a number of realtors, we can honestly say Steve and Sandra are far ahead of the pack. The quality of their marketing us truly unmatched. They replied to every email, text, and phone call almost immediately and they were quick to notify us of all updates. We could not be happier with our choice to use Brenner Hill.

Sandra and Steve are very friendly and professional and especially generous with their time and knowledge. We first contacted them a couple of years ago for a market evaluation of a home that we inherited. We ended up selling the home to the resident who had rented from us for over five years. I recently contacted Sandra to ask her some market stats questions. I was pleasantly surprised that she remembered who I was. She answered all of my questions and then sent me some graphs and tables that helped me get the information I was looking for. I only wish I had a house for them to sell!

Steve and Sandra are both incredibly professional and warmly personal. They have a system to ensure that your home is the most attractive to buyers when you sell. We worked with them to sell our home during the pandemic — it went on the market literally the same week that the initial lockdown was lifted in April of 2020 — and it sold the same week for above our asking price. They went above and beyond and continue to be a great resource to us with home ownership questions. We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience!

Windermere Real Estate agents Sandra Brenner and Steve Hill was an easy choice based on their knowledge of the area, professional expertise and their friendly communication style. Their local knowledge of our neighborhood helped us establish an asking price which was supported by their marketing strategy. Sandra and Steve scheduled and coordinated all the logistics required in preparing our home for sale since we moved out of state. Sandra and Steve kept us constantly informed from our initial consultation whether to list our home through the close of escrow and beyond. Sandra’s negotiation skills resulted in a full price offer with multiple contingencies involving buyers and sellers of three other properties. I would recommend Sandra and Steve if you are interested or just curious about selling your home now or in the future. They are both very professional and highly involved in the community !

We strongly encourage anyone looking for an agent to interview Sandra and Steve. We are so pleased with the results of our time working with them. They promptly and conclusively dealt with any issues that came up during our sale. It was important for us to work with people who are easy to reach via phone or email and get a timely response to our questions and requests.Sandra and Steve worked smoothly as a team to support us on that. They used a different process from the routine we had experienced with past sales that lead us to a buyer who was prepared to sign and close quickly. Sandra and Steve were a pleasure to get to know and work with on a personal level; like friends helping us on a project. I have sold property directly as an owner and so wondered when we interviewed them how they were going to market of our home in ways beyond the standard approaches. We learned how they use newer methods to market and data track on hyper-drive. We are sure that any seller will share our very positive experience working with these two professionals!

They did such a great job with being responsive, reassuring us and finding a lot of great options. Throughout the whole process they were incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. They really went the extra mile of making sure we would get a house that we would be happy with long term. We were always able to trust that they would give us their honest opinion and that we were in good hands. We now have a home we truly love and that we can grow into for decades to come. If anyone is looking for a home, we absolutely recommend this team!

I used Steve at the recommendation of a friend. He was great all the way through including helping with arranging some repairs prior to selling. He had referrals for me including repairs, new carpet and the staging. All worked out awesome. He was over the top in making sure the house showed up on all of the search sites and getting the word out about the house. The house sold very quickly and we had multiple offers. It was actually tricky to decide which offer to take! In addition he helped us with the paperwork and answered questions all the way through, even though we were newbies to this. I am sure many of my questions were routine and mundane, but I never felt like he answered them in that way. I would say that attitude is everything and Steve has an awesome attitude. I could take lessons from him! I sold one other house some 18 years ago. I used my brother in law. It was horrible. Steve made this process wonderful; seriously.

Sandra and Steve were impressive from start to end of our home selling experience. We first met with Sandra 2 years ago as some renovations were being completed on our home in Broadview. She offered sound advice at the time and stayed in contact until we were finally ready to sell early this fall. Sandra and Steve encouraged all of the right moves along the way including pre-inspection of the home and sewer, simple touch-ups as well as pricing. We ultimately got exactly what we hoped for our home with no contingencies thanks to their brilliant strategic planning. This review isn’t doing the process justice, but I’ll simply say that should we buy or sell a home, we’ll be reaching out to Steve and Sandra.

We relied on both to guide us through the process as we moved out of state and listed the property cross country. It was such a relief to know that we had them oversee the whole listing process. Steve took care of all the maintenance in our absence and checked on the house often. Both Sandra and Steve were excellent at communicating progress and made the whole process as streamlined as possible.

I had been approached by 4 different agents but felt none of them really had a sense of value of my home. Sandra was immediately excited and ready to help me sell. They offered a couple of things to help prepare the home for market and once completed they had done everything on their end to be able to flip a switch for selling. Even with the country in a pandemic the house had multiple offers within 2 days. They did an excellent job of evaluating the price, presentation and marketing of the house, and final closing of the deal. I was overwhelmed by the quality of their work.

To all prospective home buyers and home sellers, there is no reason to look any further for assistance with your real estate needs. We can’t speak highly enough of our experience with Steve Hill and Sandra Brenner. They are, quite simply, two of the most professional, honest, and hardworking folks we’ve EVER met, in any line of business. This was the fourth time our family has worked with Steve and Sandra. Since 2013, they’ve helped us purchase two homes and sell two homes. For each occasion, and at every step of the way, they’ve been a joy to work with. They are both extremely knowledgeable in the field, excellent communicators, focused, and clearly driven to achieve their clients satisfaction while undeniably reducing their clients stress levels. Further, and perhaps most important, we’ve been blown away at their ability to incorporate all the latest trends in marketing, real estate software, and tech tools. Our two home sales were on the market for absurdly short periods of times, both with excellent outcomes. While our two home purchases were, for lack of a better term, perfect. Our entire family now considers Steve and Sandra true friends. We highly recommend them to anyone that is either searching for a new home, or plan to sell one. Thanks again to Steve Hill and Sandra Brenner for being such a pleasure to work with. – Wawrzycki Family and McDonald Family

My wife and I were moving up in houses, we sold a home in Greenwood and bought a home in Issaquah, both with Steve Hill and Sandra Brenner. Moving is definitely a difficult process, but Brenner and Hill made the selling and purchasing part of the equation very easy. They gave up helpful and practical advice on what we needed to do to spruce up the ‘old’ house and helped us negotiate a few difficult issues with the ‘new’ house. We got the new house for about 5% less than the asking price and with the old house we received about 9% over our asking price, in short we came out looking pretty good in the deal. We had some tight time constraints with money that we had borrowed and needed to sell the ‘old’ house fairly quickly. It sold the first weekend and was completely closed in a just a few weeks. We are happily set in our new house and would recommend Brenner and Hill to everyone.

The after contract support was great.

We especially benefitted from their staging tips, as I didn’t realize how small changes make a huge impact in how your home looks to others! (In fact, I carried some of those tips with me in decorating our new home–it’s much less cluttered now!) They were also great about explaining parts of the process that we didn’t understand clearly. Selling a home is a huge undertaking and they made it feel manageable and less scary. Thanks again, Sandra and Steve!

Sandra Brenner and Steve Hill responded immediately when we called and asked if they would come to our home to complete a thorough walk through, in order to provide us with honest feedback about what was needed to prepare our home for market. We made and completed our list in seven months. They helped by providing contractor referrals when we couldn’t find anyone. They were there to answer questions, to listen and always offered sage advice. Once the house staged and was listed for sale, we were impressed with their marketing strategies and close communication. Sandra and Steve knew what the market required for proper pricing. We sold our home in 12 days with a cash offer that closed within a few short weeks. We were very fortunate to have them representing us due to their level of expertise and professionalism and would highly recommend them for buyer or seller.

After I had discussed a deal with the homeowners, Steve and Sandra moved quickly to verify that we were a legitimate offer. They were very thorough in this respect. Once they were confident in our credentials, and after articulating to their clients the advantages and disadvantages of selling to us vs going to market, they really stepped in to guide us through they process.

Steve Hill and Sandra Brenner recently helped us with our home purchase. They were awesome to work with!! My husband and I started going to open houses last summer in part to check out the market, but also to meet realtors. Steve was very engaging and knowledgeable about the areas we wanted to look in. He told us how much Sandra loves negotiating which was perfect because we hate negotiating!! We have a short-sale in our history which forced us into an FHA loan, making us a less desirable offer in a sellers eyes. With this hot market we knew we needed someone who could help us put together a strong offer despite our FHA loan. Real estate is moving fast right now and Sandra was able to take us out to tour houses and put together an offer, all on the same day that she was running an open house for another client!! Yes, she is Super Woman! Our offer was accepted with no counter and we were on our way to closing. Steve and Sandra gave us solid advice throughout the process and we always felt confident trusting their guidance. We’re very happy with our home purchase and can’t thank them enough!!

Steve and Sandra were with us every step of the way. We needed to buy a new home before we sold our Seattle home. But Sandra and Steve were happy to work with us well in advance and were generous with their time. They gave us sound advice on decluttering our home, arranging furniture to make rooms look light and bright, and getting repairs and inspections done in advance. When we found a new home, we were then ready to put our home on the market quickly – the photographer they used for the brochure, the marketing they did online, through open houses, showings and mailings, showed our home at its very best. They did a careful and complete job of gathering comparables to help with pricing our home, and knew day by day what else was on the market in our area. Sandra helped us with pillows, linens and other decorator touches to make the house look like Summertime. Our home sold quickly, for full price, and without any back and forth with the buyers. This was due to the thorough advance preparation from Steve and Sandra. I knew what to expect at every point in the process. They are conscientious, smart, and professional without losing their warm and human touch. It is also nice to work with agents as a pair, rather than singly, as one of them was always available to respond when we had questions or needed information.

Sandra Brenner and Steve Hill did a great job helping me sell my house. They have an excellent network of service providers: two that deserve special mention are the staging expert (Kate Washington) and a structural pest inspector (Brandal Gehr). The procedure we followed was to do a walk through with the agents and the staging person, each of whom helped me build a project plan. Their input was invaluable in deciding, for example that we could keep the carpets but needed to paint the walls, and even suggested a good color to use. They provided emotional support through the exhausting process of getting the house ready.The fact that they are a team of two means lots of open houses. Ultimately I got a fair price for the house.

They video’d homes for us, gave us good solid feedback – NEVER tried to sell us – they were only focused on helping us find what we wanted – they would be quite critical of homes based on criteria that we shared were important to us. We were moving in from out of state so we had some difficult logistics to manage and Sandra and Steve helped us with many personal needs – they became like an extension of our family than Realtors. I run Purchasing Operations professionally and so I deal with lots of suppliers – Sandra and Steve are 5 Star+!

Steve is a consummate professional when it comes to buying a home. He gets to know you, your needs and wants; he tries matching you with properties that fit with driving around showing properties that very clearly don’t match your criteria. He is knowledgeable about the various areas in the Puget Sound, which are desirable and which are not. He makes buying a home easy with his proactive and professional approach from viewing to signing the final documents.

We worked with Sandra Brenner to find a house when we moved back to the Seattle area after living out of state for the previous 20 years. We were unfamiliar with the housing market and needed guidance in selecting a house that would work for us. Sandra was tireless in showing us houses and discussing pros and cons of designs, neighborhoods, locations and amenities. For each trip Sandra had researched the houses for us to see and continuously adjusted her show list according to our evolving preferences. We were truly impressed by Sandra’s organization, professionalism and good sense of humor. I have and will continue to recommend Sandra to friends and colleagues with real estate needs.

Sandra took the time to get to know us. She was able to integrate what we said with our feedback to properties that she showed us. This enabled her to pull together properties that were the best match for us. We were able to find our dream house. It has been 4 years! We recommend Sandra every chance we get.

Sandra Brenner went above and beyond expectations in selling our home in 2006, including hands-on help in preparing our property for the market, bringing in a talented home stager, and expert advice on handling the offers we got, resulting in the sale of our home at “top dollar.”

Ms Brenner was extremely knowledgeable with all the market areas. She asked pointed questions around my needs of accommodation and narrowed down the areas, explaining the pros and cons of each. She demonstrated patience as we looked at 30+ properties in order to find one that suited my needs. She was also helpful with all complementary aspects (inspection, repairman, etc) that came with the purchase of a home. I have already recommended Ms. Brenner to my family and friends, and will continue to do so in the future.

Sandra of the Brenner Hill Team provided a thorough and objective analysis of all available properties in the neighborhood in addition to the home that I was focused. I praise the due diligence of the Brenner Hill Team in striving to find the right home for me rather than to rush through a sale. Once a purchase contract was signed they did not disappear but rather stayed with me every step of the way in providing counsel, advice, and even helped during a critical part of the move when short handed. Sandra takes the initiative to remain in contact as an agent and friend years after the purchase.

Very persistent, and makes excellent recommendations. He is very honest and professional. He also makes sure the house you plan on buying is really worth what you are buying for, and that you are ultimately satisfied with your purchase. I would highly recommend him to anyone planning to purchase a home. As far as selling my home, he did everything possible to sell it within a short time. My previous realtor didn’t really do anything when he listed my home, but when I switched to Steve things really picked-up and he sold it within a few months time. Needless to say I’m a very satisfied client.

I have just recommended Steve Hill to a relative who has decided to stop renting and buy a home. Steve listed my property and guided me through the sometimes complicated sales process. He did an excellent job of preparing my home for sale with professional photography and staging consultation. Kudos to Steve for selling my home.

Steve Hill has time and again assisted me as an agent for selling and buying homes for me, my family, sister and sister-in-law, and those that will be selling in the future, and for my friends. He has always been available to help family and friends with questions about the market or independent contractors he might recommend for home improvement. He spent almost a year in trying to find me my “perfect, present” home, as well as selling my then condo. He is great and professional; an honest person and hardworking. I have never been nervous with his decision-making and trust he has the big picture too. He practices being well-informed. I recommend him any chance I get, since I first met him, almost six years ago. He’s the best!

When we decided to sell our family home and downsize to a condominium, we interviewed several agents. Once we met Steve, it was easy to decide who to go with. He did not try to “wow” us with a bunch of talk, hype, or saying what “we wanted to hear.” What he DID do is listen, share his knowledge of the area and the market, showed us information relative to our situation, and provided us with a very realistic and pro-active game plan. The result? Our house sold within 2 weeks at the asking price! In helping us find the condo we wanted, Steve was incredible. He was always on top of listings and paid close attention to what we wanted. We looked at everything everywhere and he was patient and persistent in his quest for us. He is so knowledgeable about the areas he works in and made sure that he showed us properties that met our wants and needs. I need to stress another of Steve’s biggest strengths. How often does someone say they “go the extra mile?” All the time, right? Well, Steve doesn’t say it, he JUST DOES IT. I was impressed over and over again with things that he would help with, or take care of, that no realtor I had dealt with in the past would have done. Communication and honesty are traits that are at the top of the list for my relationships with anyone in business and Steve has both of these qualities. He is quick to respond when contacted, and he is pro-active in updating clients on a regular basis. I never have to worry about what Steve tells me, because he does not say “what I want to hear,” he tells me the truth and has data to back up his recommendations, which, or course, is what I really want to hear! Steve is very experienced and professional. He is extremely personable and a pleasure to work with. He knows his stuff and it shows in everything he does, from listing to showing, to doing the paperwork. I have referred Steve to family and friends and everyone who has used him has had the same positive experience that I have had. I would not think of using anyone else as my realtor.

We chose Steve Hill to be our agent during the purchase of our home. He came highly recommended by others and certainly proved himself invaluable. We have purchased homes in the past and have never had an agent as well versed in the real estate business as Steve Hill. Steve’s knowledge, commitment and follow through are second to none. We highly recommend Steve Hill for any type of real estate sale or purchase.

Steve Hill was our agent when we purchased our condo and he was the logical first choice when we decided to sell. He has a solid grasp of the industry and is honest in his evaluations and recommendations. He doesn’t say what you want to hear, but what you need to hear…especially in this tough market. Steve also goes above and beyond with his clients. He hired a professional photographer for our listing photos where other agents do it themselves. He reimbursed us for a stager to advise us and helped us with readying the house. When we purchased our condo, he helped us move in. He has done similar things for other clients. If you want and honest, savvy, hard working agent that always keeps your best interests in mind, choose Steve Hill. I have never had a better experience, both buying and selling.
