Why Hire the Sterling Team?

1.  REAL VALUE

We offer our clients the most value. Sure, lot's of businesses use the phase “most value” as some feel-good saying without real meaning. So here is what we mean. We will invest the most time, money and expertise to maximize YOUR results. We have developed a highly effective system tailored to your individual and unique needs and we'd like to share this with you.

FREE home improvements? Yes, we are the Seattle real estate brokers who have been known to provide important and effective home improvements and repairs (i.e. hardwood refinishing, new paint, carpet, new landscaping etc.) FREE to you! There is no fine print or hidden agenda. This not only translates into costs savings for our clients, but also an increased market value – more money at closing! To learn more on how we can specifically help your needs, please contact us.

2.  REAL RESULTS

We know how to get the job done. Sellers, we sell your home for the most amount of money, in the least amount of time and with the least amount of headache. Buyers, we find the home that excites you and then we do our best to get the best deal possible on your behalf. We also back up our promises with a solid guarantee (take a look at the bottom).

3.  TEAM APPROACH

As part of our comprehensive and specialized team approach, you have a group of full-time and high-octane professionals ready to serve you. One great real estate agent is a beneficial resource. But a team of great agents is an invaluable asset that can provide both exemplary service and optimal results.

“If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.”  ~Henry Ford

4.  SAVE TIME

We understand your time is valuable. We do our best to make things run as easy and stress free as possible. For buyers, that means sifting through properties to find the best ones that meet your criteria. For sellers, it means not wasting time on unqualified buyers, setting listing prices unreasonably high just to win your listing, or pursue unproductive marketing tactics.

5.  SAVE MONEY

There are significant costs in buying, selling and maintaining a home. We do everything we can to help you keep your hard earned money. As an example, 9 out of 10 clients use our extensive list of preferred partner companies (home contractors, painters, inspectors, landscapers, lenders, etc.) because in addition to the overall value, they provide tremendous cost savings.

6.  REGULAR COMMUNICATION

A frequent complaint about real estate professionals is a lack of communication with their clients. Timely, effective communication is a hallmark of our real estate services. Sterling Lemmé will keep you well-informed, making certain that you are continuously updated and properly advised so you can make sound decisions. Sterling’s telephone is on and he returns calls promptly.

7. EFFECTIVE NEGOTIATING

In real estate (and in life) you don’t always get what you deserve, but what you negotiate. We are highly trained at creative problem solving and negotiations, delivering favorable results for our clients. We represent your needs and desires strategically and in the best light possible for a positive outcome.

8.  THE RIGHT PERSONALITY & TEMPERAMENT

We love what we do and it shows. We are passionate, high energy and tenacious. Since this is a people business, we feel our interpersonal skills are advantageous for a positive outcome. With the many different personalities and emotions that occur in a real estate transaction it is important to have representation that is well respected among the parties, tactfully and professionally handling himself/herself.

9.  LASTING TRUST

Our reputation and the foundation of our business start with trust, and we take this extremely seriously. Trust, not only in the performance and technical aspects of our job (there are a lot of legal forms!!) but also trust in our fiduciary responsibility to keep sensitive information private, trust in delivering on our word and trust in our sterling (pun intended!) character and ethical conduct. You can rely on our integrity, ability, and strength. But don’t take our word for it. Take a look at our growing number of satisfied clients’ reviews here.

10.  OUR GUARANTEE

If at any time you are unhappy with our services, you can cancel with no obligation. Furthermore, if we complete the buying or selling process for you and you are not satisfied with our performance, we will pay you $1,000 at the time of closing. That is how confident we are that you will be happy with our superior customer service.
