Cris LeCompte at Berkshire Hathaway NW Real Estate

This was actually our 3rd transaction dealing with Cris and we had no wish or desire to have anyone else as our agent. Cris goes above and beyond and we actually first dealt with him over 11 year ago. He is very prepared and does his “home” work no pun intended. We valued his honesty and directness that is needed when selling a home. We would absolutely use Cris again. I firmly believe he made the sale happen by doing old fashioned leg work of going to other brokers about our home and our buyers showed that weekend. He truly is just a pleasant man to deal with and glad we used him.

When we made the decision to purchase our first home in the impossibly competitive Seattle housing market, we couldn’t have imagined having a more professional, trustworthy and knowledgeable agent working on our side. We screened multiple agents and immediately found Cris to be worthy of the praise that we’d seen when other clients spoke of him. From our first interaction with Cris, we found him to be thorough, knowledgeable, and patient. When you work with Cris, you can clearly see that you are working with someone who has a passion for what he does. He is driven by helping his clients find a house that will be the right home for them. As we worked with Cris to narrow and refine our search, we were always amazed at his consistent and thoughtful input. Even when we’d send late night or early morning emails about the latest listings, or ideas that had come up over the most recent tours, Cris always had a prompt and reasonable response. As our process continued and we made our offer, Cris was always on the ball leading the way with the right direction and follow-ups; making sure that the process was moving along the way that it should be. Saying that we couldn’t imagine going through the stressful and exciting process of finding a great home in our challenging market without having Cris’ assistance would be an understatement. Cris is a true professional, and in a market where there are literally more realtors eagerly looking for your business than decent houses to make a home in, finding an agent like Cris is one of the most fortunate things that could have happened for us.

Cris went way beyond what anyone could expect of an agent. We wanted to move from Houston to Tacoma. He worked with us long distance for almost 2 years while we were trying to sell our properties in Houston. He helped us learn about the Tacoma area when we flew up for a “look/see”, educating us about all the many areas in our price range. He helped us understand the fast moving market in Tacoma/Seattle area. He investigated homes that met our criteria, honestly providing feedback according to our criteria. We found the perfect home and the long distance purchase went perfectly. Cris then helped us find investment property (duplex) with the same high level of service. To say he is the best realtor we have worked with is not high enough praise. He goes beyond expectations! We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for real estate in Washington state. We are going to use him again for future properties. He is the best!

As usual, Cris LeCompte was extraordinary throughout every step of the purchase process! We had never purchased a short sale before, and Cris's expertise made the process go much smoother than we ever expected. Cris always prepared us for what was coming up next, so nothing came out of the blue. He easily handled tricky communications with the other parties, and his attention to detail saved us many times. We couldn't be happier with our purchase, and Cris was a crucial part of that. Aside from being an excellent realtor, Cris has a heart of gold and a deep sense of integrity that is really hard to find these days. He never pressures us. We trust him completely. Cris has helped us buy several houses over the past 15 years, and we'd never go with any other realtor!

I couldn't have picked a better person to help me navigate the complicated home buying process, especially in this cut-throat market. Cris really knows what he's doing, and does it calmly, efficiently, and always has your best interests at heart. He even talked me OUT OF buying one house that I was settling for because I was sick of looking, and I'm so glad he did, because he found the perfect home for me, based on the things I needed to feel comfortable. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly than Cris LeCompte.

My husband and I met Cris about 5 months before we were ready to put our home on the market. It is an older home that sits on a full acre. Cris gave us an honest and detailed appraisal of what he thought would make the house most marketable. We followed his recommendations, consulting with him as we went and made the needed improvements. We put our house up for sale in June and sold it in one week. Cris came close to “moving mountains” in helping sell our house. It wasn’t a mountain exactly, but he did move a 10 by 12-foot potting shed by himself to make extra room for our new septic system. That’s an example of the level of care and responsibility he demonstrated. He is a realtor who goes the distance for his clients and deserves a top rating!

Great! Cris gave me all the information I needed to make decisions and helped me every step of the way. He went above and beyond to provide outstanding service. I got well over asking price, thanks in large part to his guidance.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Chris. Throughout the entire process, I always felt that Chris had our interests as his top priority. After working with several agents I have come to appreciate this quality. He is honest and trustworthy. I really felt like I could trust the advice that he gave us. Chris is also a total pro. He walked us through every step of the home selling process. He was very careful to ensure that we fully understood everything that we were doing. He was also masterful at negotiating with the buyer's agent to get us the deal that we wanted. I would strongly recommend Chris for anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Cris was stellar, an informative voice of calm reason during an overly extended purchase period of six months. The delay occurred because the seller fell into a short-sale position after the initial agreement, dragging their lender into the picture. The Big Bank was in no hurry to move the sale along, but Cris persevered on our behalf. He always went the extra mile to help. I would never consider another realtor if Cris was available!

From our initial meeting and throughout the entire process, Cris was consistently outstanding in his service as our realtor. In our many communications, he listened carefully to our questions and concerns, and clearly explained every step of what turned out to be a more complicated selling situation. We appreciated his honest, direct guidance-given without insistence-in all aspects of our house sale. Cris has experience, expertise, and showed great integrity and professionalism. He truly cares about his clients. We have bought and sold homes in Utah and Southern California as well as Washington, and have worked with many realtors. Cris LeCompte is, by far, the best. Without reservation we recommend him-you will not be disappointed.

We highly recommend Mr. Cris LeCompte , we can't thank him enough for his invaluable assistance. He is a consummate professional Realtor/Broker who has helped us with the sale of our house. What sets him apart from your standard real estate professional, is his understanding and implementation of a high level of customer service. Working with him has been a pleasure and he takes the extra step necessary to ensure that the needs of his clients are met. The real estate industry has a gem in Mr. Cris LeCompte . Top qualities : Personable, Expert, High Integrity, Marketing skills

We are in a great home that we love. Cris is awesome. He took us to more houses than we could even count. He likes to preview the homes too, so this was twice as many visits for him. Cris even came to the closings with the escrow company, which was so great. His experience really helped us to make sure we had all the information we needed.

Just this summer we listed our home to sell with Cris. As before he was extremely helpful in making it a fairly simple process. His knowledge in local real estate helped us to choose a listing price that got us a full price offer in under 18 hours, we accepted and were pending sale within 24 hours from listing. There were a few trials (buyers end), and Cris explained everything along the way, again making this as stress free as possible for us. He truly cares about his clients and looks out for their best interests. I recommend his services to everyone! I could go on and on about Cris, and the amazing services he provides to his clients!

From our first meeting to the last, Cris was there every step of the way. We have never dealt with a real estate agent that conducted himself so professionally. We can not recommend him highly enough.

Cris LeCompte is an excellent real estate agent. He sold our house in just over a month at the price point we were hoping for. He knows the region and knows how to market a home in this area. He also helped us purchase our new home. He takes the time to view the homes on your list before taking you go out to view them as to not waste your time on something that may not work for you. He is there every step of the way, no matter how big or small of a request. He takes a personal interest in making sure things go smoothly, looking at every detail of your transaction to make sure things go as planned. Not only that, but he goes above and beyond for his clients, taking care of a lot of the details that you might not have time for when packing and arranging a complicated move. He makes time to do anything that you need, whether it be following up with a contractor for a fix you need on the home you are selling or helping you find a mover that is reputable for your move to you new home. I would refer him to anyone I know.

Without fail, Cris is completely professional and makes the process run as smoothly as possible. He has a great deal of experience with all sorts of real estate transactions and pays great attention to detail. With his experience, Cris is able to foresee possible problem areas with a particular property and/or purchase and sale agreement and make recommendations based on these observations. He also has a keen eye for construction defects and items in need of maintenance and repair. He often goes out of his way to attend meetings and do research on portions of the transaction that aren't his responsibility just to make sure that we are getting the best deal possible. We feel much more comfortable purchasing or selling a property knowing that Cris is protecting our interests and I highly recommend him!

Every transaction went smoothly and they all closed on time thanks to his hard work. He presented me with a list of contractors to assist in get the home inspection requirements finished on time. He always made himself available to questions and concerns. Wonderful to work with.

No cons. This vist and support by Chris was all a positive experience for us.

Cris was an absolutely amazing broker, he went above and beyond. His advice and assistance were invaluable. He answered all of my questions and provided information even when I didn't know to ask about it (novice home seller). I would recommend Cris to any one. He is personable and knowledgeable - two important attributes in a broker. If I hadn't moved out of the area, I would use Cris in my next home purchase.

From start to finish, the whole thing went amazingly. Although this was our first time buying a home, Cris LeCompte really made the process as smooth as can be. Upon meeting Cris, we knew instantly that we wanted to work with him. He really seems to know the ins and outs of this business, but instead of just trying to get you into anything, he really listens to what you want, figures out what you need, and helps you make a smart decision. Since we were new to the process, we always felt like Cris had our best interest at heart and really cared about getting us into the perfect home for our family. He was able to educate us on things we would have never considered, including, but not limited to, things that could be quite costly to repair as a home owner. This was incredibly important to us and the information he provided to us was truly invaluable. One of the things that I appreciate most about Cris is that no matter the question, he always found an answer. I had a lot of questions, and no matter how ridiculous or involved the inquiry was, Cris would promptly do his research and respond. This was so important to me. I didn't know what to expect, but I feel as though Cris really went above and beyond for us. His customer service is some of the best, if not the best, that we've ever had. He was so organized and on top of everything. We looked at many homes with Cris during our home tours. Each time, he would drive us around to each property, offer us refreshments, and during the ride, would talk to us about the next property. Even if we didn't like a specific property for one reason or another, or it wasn't perfect for us, Cris found a way to make the visit valuable. Not only would we learn from each property, but he learned something about us each time too. We really felt he compiled all of the ques we'd been giving him and directed us to the perfect home for us. His communication was incredible. I would email him at all hours of the day and night. He always responded. Any time we waited for information, he'd always make sure to tell us the moment he heard. He was very persistent with the seller's agent to find out information for us. All in all, we will never work with another Realtor. From now, until forever, or whenever he decides to retire, we will always call Cris LeCompte for any home buying or selling needs, and almost any other home related question we have. We completely trust him. We always send his information to our friends and family and urge people we do not know to work with him as well. We will never regret our decision to ask him to be our Realtor and we promise that you won't either.

We started our home buying journey with Cris in January and by the end of February we had closed on our house. It was almost sad when it was over so quickly because Cris made the process very enjoyable. From our first meeting, when he carefully outlined everything we should expect, to his virtual 24/7 availability for questions, Cris was extremely professional and very accommodating. He did a great job of screening listings and showing us houses that fit our parameters. He also gave us full access to online descriptions of properties so we could help decide what to visit. We really had a great partnership! Visiting houses with Cris was a lot of fun for us. He has a very large amount of knowledge when it comes to home maintenance. He isn?t a home inspector and would never claim to be, but he has a practiced eye for pros and cons that come with any house. And he?s happy to share his opinion, first by educating you on what to look for and then by telling you his assessment of a property. But unless he?s asked, he always gives you an opportunity to form your own opinion first. We never felt like Cris was telling us we should make an offer on a house. He just tried to give us as much information as possible. Beyond his opinion, he provided objective research that we could review on houses we were seriously considering. One of the best things about Cris is his knowledge of the home buying process. When it was time to make an offer, he thoroughly outlined everything we should expect and he was unfailingly accurate ? there were no surprises! And he walked us through every step and kept in contact with our lender, so there were never any miscommunications. Overall, we really had a great partnership with Cris and highly recommend him to help you on your home buying journey. We never felt like Cris wanted anything but the best for us. He told us no house was perfect, but we should keep looking until we found the one that was perfect for us. And with Cris?s help we did!

My first transaction with Cris was my first time buying a home. Since then he's helped me buy another home. His focus in both instances was that I find the right place for me and that I was fully informed every step of the process. Cris took time to show homes I was interested to see and also did further research to find other properties in the neighborhoods or price range I wanted, specifically pointing out good and bad examples and why they were good or bad. Cris fully explained every document to sign and took extra time for any questions I had before going forward each step of the process. If there was ever a pause in the process waiting for response from the other party, he was on top of it and regularly reminded the other party that their response was needed while also updating me of the latest status. In all of my dealings with Cris I've been impressed by his professionalism, hard work, knowledge, availability, and willingness to answer questions.

My experience with Cris Le Compte was fabulous and we did this for like four months. We got all the way to the end of it but the bank would not accept the offer with the short sale. So it was a great experience but I did not end up with the house. He did everything great and that is why I love him. He was the best for me. He battled, he gave me the best hands in order for me to get the house, it just did not work out and there was nothing he could have done to make it work out. He was courteous, he was super professional, always spot on, answered my texts, my phone calls, questions, always send me tons of information for anything that I asked for immediately. So he was just great. If I decide to do this again he would be the very first person that I would ever call.

Overall it went very smoothly with him. He always responded to emails and phonecalls promptly, and looked out for our best interest. He made sure he taught us about all the aspects so we would make informed decisions. He didnt push his opinion on us, but was always ready to answer questions or give us his point of view if asked. He put in alot of time and effort and really tried to find us the house we wanted, rather than selling any house on us for his interest and convenience.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Cris LeCompte in 2012 to purchase a home in Kent, and Cris? subsequent selling of our previous home in Renton. We found Cris to be a consummate professional, which with his many years as a real estate agent has established a wide range of industry professionals to assist in all aspects of the selling and purchasing of homes. He is always willing to take the time with his customer to answer questions and alleviate any concerns they may have. Cris goes the extra mile for his customers, conducts extensive research of the housing market to sell the property at the right price for the real estate area and monitors daily/weekly all properties in the area to advise his customers of trends. He keeps his customers consistently updated on all activity of the property being sold, so the customer understands through each step of the process their options, in order to make informed decisions. We have recommended Cris to many friends, family and acquaintances and have lost count how many of these individuals have come back to us thanking us for introducing them. In one instance, our neighbors had been looking for a house for over nine months with a real estate agent. Their prior agent consistently suggested properties that had none of the requirements they had asked for, Cris ?listens? to his customers and is willing to help guide and make recommendations to meet their requirements. Within two month?s Cris had found these individuals a new home in precisely the area they wanted, with the space they needed for their three young daughters and helped them become first time home owners. We had not gone through the process of selling or purchasing a home in over fifteen years. Cris had so much patience for all of our questions, and my rather intense need to micro-manage the process. I would look at real estate sites and send him pages of listings to look at, which he meticulously viewed and took me to. His good humor and experience made the process much less stressful than it could have been. Our home went on the market on a Monday, and we had a signed contract by the end of the day on Wednesday. Cris is an amazing real estate agent and we HIGHLY recommend him. Sincerely, Michael and Necia Wainwright
