Testimonials from satisfied clients whom we helped to buy a home:
"Marc helped a first-time home buyer complete a Short Sale purchase of a house in Seattle. He remained diligent, well-informed, responsive, and honest throughout the three month process. We contracted with a flat fee agreement, and despite unforeseen additional work due to complications with the transaction, including two liens against the seller, his efforts did not slacken in any way.
"He also drafted a special contract that we entered into with the seller's tenant so that they would move out when the purchase was concluded so we immediately occupy the house.
"As a risk averse first-time home buyer I could not have hoped for better counsel and professionalism.
"Highly recommended!" Jeff, Seattle 4/30/09
"I thought you'd be interested to know that my petition to the King County Board of Equalization appealing the assessed value of the home you helped me buy was successful and, as you predicted, a relatively easy process. Thanks for speaking with me by phone about this several months ago and for encouraging me to pursue it without paid counsel. That was good advice." Ken, Seattle - 12/6/08
"Thanks, Marc, for helping us through our second real estate transaction inside of one year! From selling our home in Belfair last February, 2008, to buying a new home in Poulsbo, which closed this week--you have provided us with top notch legal expertise and guidance through what were very troubled waters at times. We didn't have a buyer's agent on the Poulsbo deal, and you acted as an excellent interface between us and the Seller's agent and all other parties to the deal. Thanks again." Larry & Susan, Poulsbo - 10/17/08

"Thanks so much to you and Craig for all your help, you certainly were able to guide us through a process which would have otherwise been quite daunting and intimidating without your help!

"Thanks Craig...and a special thanks to Marc for all of his help and guidance. We've closed, moved, and things are going well. This was a first home purchase for the two of us and with Marc's insight and guidance, we completed our purchase without having a buyers agent as well. We’ll surely keep you in mind for future purchases and pass along your name when discussing real estate transactions with friends, etc." Jason & Kelly, Seattle - 12/18/07

"Hooray!!! Everything went through! Thanks for your assistance with this, your insight and advice were wonderfully appreciated. You have been such a wonderful resource throughout this process. When the sellers tried to change the terms you were there to help us out every step of the way. This was my first purchase and I didn't have to use a real estate agent. You are a great resource and for only $795 I feel we got a great deal!" Allison and Jason, Renton - 6/26/07
"Thanks Marc for all of the guidance throughout this transaction. We truly appreciate the service. The $795 was well worth it! You helped us save over $3,700! That was my intention all along.

"Thank you, Craig and Marc, for helping us with our recent home purchase. We appreciate your diligence and thorough attention to detail, as well as your flexibility in handling last minute details requiring quick turnaround (especially with us being out-of-town during part of the process). We were able to forgo the expense of a real estate agent while having our interests protected, and we won't hesitate to seek your advice for any future real estate transactions. You have earned our trust and we are very happy to recommend your services to any potential clients." Mark & Karen, Mukilteo - 1/15/07

"Craig, thank you so much for all your help with this. I couldn’t have done it with out you. Hopefully we can work together again some day." Jay, Seattle - 10/18/06
"Thanks for your assistance. As is usually the case, given the opportunity I
would do things differently. However, hiring you is not one of those
things, as we have been very pleased with the service and support you have
provided us." Nathan & Launa, Normandy Park - 9/29/06"I have been involved in a number of real estate transactions in the last few years. My latest purchase with Craig representing me was the first time I was confident I had someone watching out for my best interests. In addition to reviewing all of the documents, just one of his suggestions saved me more than the cost of his service." Seymour - Seattle, 6/5/06
"The services and legal advice that Craig Blackmon provided me were exceptional. He was able to get acquainted with my matter in a short period of time and always responded to my questions and concerns promptly." Debra - Everett, 5/16/06
"We have been very happy with your work. Your work is incredibly fast and accurate. As a lawyer, you project confidence, fairness and honesty; there was never a moment where we doubted your abilities or your advice, which reflected your knowledge of the law as well as your sound ethics. As clients, we felt our case was important to you and we never worried you wouldn't make the time for the necessary steps in the limited time frame in which we were working." Jen and Paul - Renton, 5/2/06
"Thanks Craig. We really appreciate your efforts. At the very least, I think having you involved has made everyone stand up in their saddle and pay a little more attention than they might have otherwise, including us. You had some great suggestions, strategies and comments during key parts of this. We appreciated those a lot." Jeff & Lisa - Seattle, 4/28/06
"Thank for being the "key" to my recent home purchase. It has taken me a long time to find the right home. My search was ongoing with and without Real Estate Agents, and I was delighted to find a FSBO. You made the important difference from the Purchase and Sales Agreement to the final Escrow documents. Having someone watching out for "my interest" at each step from offer to closing was worth more than your fees. If there is anything I could share with potential home buyers is to hire an attorney from start to stop, you will save more than you will spend. Thank you." Kathy - Des Moines, 4/11/06
"Craig Blackmon's legal advice and services proved to be vital for my recent property transaction. With his expertise on real estate law I was able to forego using a real estate agent which saved me thousands of dollars. After dealing with Craig on various issues it quickly became clear that he is very knowledgeable on real estate law and was very responsive to all of my questions. I felt comfortable that my best interests were being served. I highly recommend Craig's services and plan on utilizing them again when I sell my home." Steve - Enumclaw, 2/27/06
"It was a total pleasure working with you. Despite all the challenges I faced I felt like I was able to work through them because of your help. You totally guided me through all the steps it took to buy my condo and sell my house clearly, kindly and promptly. I have and will continue to recommend you to my friends, family and co-workers when they are looking to buy or sell Real Estate." Liz - Seattle, 12/3/05
