Jessica and Steve made the process so much easier for us from beginning to end. The pictures and video of the property helped to sell it in just a few days. Jessica then negotiated a rent back agreement for us for a week so we could use the proceeds from our sale to buy our new home without having to move twice. That really made a difference. Their thoughtfulness in sending flowers after the sale was just so nice. They even stopped in at the closing with a basket for us. They treated us more like friends than customers and we knew we could depend on them. We would definitely highly recommend their services to anyone selling their home.

I recently made the life changing decision to move into a retirement community. I needed to sell the home I had lived in for 23 years, How do I get that done? Contact the best realtors I know. Jessica and Steve Poulos of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate. The Northwest Home Team. They carefully and thoroughly explained what would be involved in the process of selling my home and guided me through the entire process. I have nothing but the highest praises for this team and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Top notch in every way.

Having known Steve and Jessica since we purchased our home in Olympia (and had met Steve even before that), we were impressed by their work ethic, their life ethic, and their genuine interest in selling our home for us. Supportive and very good at calming our nerves during the process!

We are happy to recommend them to others.

This team at BHGNW is amazing. They are knowledgeable, quick to respond and always professional! From the moment I contacted their office about listing our home for sale, Jessica and Steve steered us in the right direction on both price and when to put it on the market. They helped us stage our home and have it wonderfully photographed for listing.
Jessica and her team including Noe and Justin have shown us more homes than I care to list in our search for our next home, yet no matter how many times we requested a viewing someone was always available even on short notice. Jessica always gives sound advice based on her knowledge and considerable experience in our local real estate market.
They have put together an amazing team that feels more like family than simply “agents”. My husband and I highly recommend them!

Hands down these two are incredible. They make you feel like you are their only client and are available anytime of day. Jessica was in contact with us everyday making sure we were always in the know of everything going on. There isn’t another team I would ever use besides them. I can’t thank them enough for making our dreams come true with our new home.

Jessica was the perfect realtor for us and we would love to recommend her to others! She was always patient with my questions, the level of detail and the constant communication I needed. She was responsive at all hours and days, whenever we needed her and remained very positive. She was generous with her resources and marketing and worked diligently to get just the right shots and used several strategies to promote as the market twisted and turned to a seller’s market. At the 11th hour she pulled through to make the close happen on time!

Her positive attitude is calming and so helpful when things seem out of your control. Jessica is truly genuine, a really nice person and strong professional, to work with when you're selling your biggest investment!

I listed with my house with Steve and Jessica right before the interest-rate went crazy. Under bad circumstances they were still able to sell a seven figure house in a few months. They also helped us find our dream property that will be in our family for generations. I would never want to use anyone else but them and their associates. I give them 10 stars if I could. Best in the business by far. I thank you from the bottom of my heart

Jessica what kind, patient, and thoughtful throughout our very long search for a home that suited the unique needs of our large and diverse family.

When the time came for negotiations and paperwork and signings, Jessica was proactive and aggressive with strategizing and negotiating. She made the transition as smooth as possible, even helping us with digital signing when we were traveling overseas for part of our process. She was top notch!

Steve helped us with the design and purchase of our home in Fox Hill and continued to be a resource for the next 8 years. So when we decided to move out of state, we called Steve And Jessica to help us sell our home. They provided excellent marketing and guidance and our home sold quickly. We highly recommend the Steve and Jessica team.

I asked Jessica to write up a comparable homes valuation very last minute and she turned it around very quickly. Couldn't be happier! Will be selling my home in the near future and she is definitely my first choice for an agent. My brother used her a few years ago and had nothing but good to say about her.

Jessica is the best! She helped us find our dream home AND get my parents in the home across the street. Jessica was willing to drop everything and make us her priority. We hope we won't need a realtor anytime soon, but if we do, we're glad we know the best!

Jessica and Steve Poulos are top-tier folks to partner with when it comes to selling your home. We interviewed four fine agents, however Jessica stood out among the group, was confident about a realistic price point, and has excellent marketing talents. She was able to sell our home for exponentially higher than the other agents indicated (in our case over $150,000!). In addition, they are a wholesome couple devoted to family and fun to work with! We recommend them 100%!

We were ecstatic to work with this talented team. We had heard such great reviews and were eager to create one on our own. Not only were they enthusiastic about getting the ball rolling with selling our home, they are very quick and efficient. Would definitely recommend to anyone selling their home that would like to do so at ease, with all questions answered, and with the absolute best outcome. Thank you for making this as easy and Swift as possible for us.

I had the pleasure of working with Steve Poulos and Matt Brady. There are realtors, and then there are professional realtors; both of these gentlemen were the consummate professionals. Not once did my wife and I feel pressured to make a decision we didn’t want to make, they presented the facts along with professional opinions that helped us take into consideration factors we might not have noticed on certain properties. Ultimately, we found the perfect home and won the bid in a very competitive market - this was the one and only home we placed a bid on with them and it was a success. Since both my wife and I are veterans, we used our benefits to purchase the home with a VA loan. I know making an offer in a competitive market with a VA loan can be challenging, but Steve and Matt knew how to present our offer so the seller was at ease with the fact we were using a VA loan. After the offer was accepted, they coordinated their efforts with our lender and were able to close in an astounding 24 days!

Steve and Jessica gave us personalized service that went way beyond being an agent for the sale of our beloved home. They never missed a call, text, or email, and gave us answers quickly relieving the stress of the sale. We consider Steve and Jessica friends and will remain in touch with them even after our move to Florida.

If you need timely, connected, experienced, competent, and personalized representation in the sale of your home, look no further than Steve and Jessica. You might even make lifelong friends.

By the way, this was the second time we used their skills for home buying and purchasing. We made a great decision with these Salt of the the Earth Realtors that do not know the meaning of greed!

Listing my home with Jessica and Steve was the best decision I could’ve made. They were extremely friendly and professional, all while comforting and reassuring me during the whole process. They took care of every single detail along the way, while keeping me informed and up-to-date. I was in good hands with them from the moment we started the process. I would highly recommend them if someone is considering buying or selling a home. You would not be disappointed!

We were very nervous selling this late in the season. Jessica and Steve were awesome. They were honest and upfront about what they thought we could sell for, and were always on top of things, keeping us involved each step of the way. They made what could have been a stressful experience a positive one.

Steve Poulos worked diligently to ensure the best quality for selling my previous house. He was in constant contact with me regarding every issue. Steve was also on top of all maintenance issues and lining up appointments. Hands down this is the way to go if you're considering selling your home. I cannot thank Steve enough for all of his hard work. Fantastic Guy.
