Colleen's knowledge of the area is so outstanding! We felt we were in great hands with her as our agent. She was always very responsive and kept us updated throughout the entire process! Our home buying experience was great and we credit that to Colleen!

  This is an amazing team, they have incredible knowledge and keep their clients informed every step of the way. I have already referred other people to them and would do it again in a heartbeat!

  Colleen helped us successfully navigate a tricky home purchase on a short timeline. Her experience and communication skills helped us avoid many pitfalls and delays. I wish everyone I worked with communicated as well as Colleen. Colleen's knowledge and diligence allowed us to close on schedule against the odds. Highly recommended!

  Colleen was an absolute pleasure to work with! She went above and beyond to answer questions I had and made sure I had all the information I needed. She was always very responsive, flexible, and available. 2019 - edit We LOVE Colleen! This is the second house that she has helped us buy and we would never use anyone else. She is easy going, but extremely communicative and easy to get in touch with, always available and willing to help through the inevitable questions and concerns that arise while house hunting & the escrow process. Colleen always follows up on what she says she is going to do. We appreciate her!

  It was our first time buying a home and we had Melissa Hudson as our agent. She was very informative and always there for our many requests during the process, whether it be meeting after work to look at a property the last minute or making an offer late at night. We did have the opportunity to meet Rosie herself to look at a couple homes the one and only time Melissa was unavailable, she made us feel right at home even though she was just filling in. In the end we found the home we wanted and feel like we had the best team behind us to make it possible!

  Rosie and her team really knew what they were doing and ALSO anticipated what I would need before I even asked for it. They were personable, communicative, polite, and available whenever I had a question. They presented the details on my home very professionally before listing and then took the time to make sure my home was prepared for market and also advertised to the best it could be. Because of this I sold within only a couple weeks. Patience would also be the word that I would use to describe the process of finding a new home. I must have looked at over 30 homes before finding the right one, and they continued to support me and offer suggestions as I looked. Without a doubt, I will be working with Rosie again and would recommend her team to anyone in the area looking to sell or buy a home.

  I’ve worked with Rosie’s team to sell two houses in the Renton, WA area- one in 2017, the other in 2019. Here’s why- 1. I like the team approach. The different team members bring diverse skills to the table. 2. The team makes effective use of technology. They know how to maximize the property’s on-line exposure. 3. The team maintains excellent communication with all parties involved. 4. I appreciate direct and honest feedback. Some realtors will tell you what you want to hear. Reality always asserts itself in the end though- so why waste time? Prior to listing the house, Rosie sat down with me and provided useful recommendations. These recommendations were based on her deep knowledge of the local housing market. It was great to work with Rosie’s friendly, honest, and professional team.

  You just can’t argue with the results. Rosie and her team handled every aspect of our sale with sure handedness. She guided me through some tough repair decisions that paid off splendidly in the end. Once repairs were done, staging, listing, showing and paperwork was a breeze, all expertly arranged for a quick sale at a price far exceeding my best hope.

  My wife and I just recently purchased our very first home here in Washington State and we couldn't have done it without the help of Colleen and the Rosie Rourke team. Colleen was there for us every step of the way and we are very grateful that we had her guidance throughout the whole process. Each time we had a question, she responded to us promptly and was very easy to reach in all forms of communication. I have to admit, it's hard to find someone like that nowadays. Colleen also went above and beyond to help us find a reputable contactor around the area for repairs even after we had closed on the house. I can definitely say that she made everything effortless for us. So if you are in the market to purchase a home or thinking about selling your current home, Colleen and the Rosie Rourke team will be there to help you and you won't be disappointed.

  I have used the Rosie Rourke team to buy and sell homes, always with great success. Most recently, to purchase a home in Tacoma with buyers agent Colleen Linder. Colleen is a fantastic buyers agent with great communication and negotiating skills. She takes the time to understand what her clients want. Her knowledge of the local Real Estate market is second to none.

  Melissa Hudson helped us purchase our first home in December 2018, and the experience was surprisingly painless! She was responsive, personal, knowledgeable, patient, and a great listener! Without a doubt, I will be contacting her again whenever we need any real estate assistance.

  Rosie and her team took the stress out of selling my fathers home. Her team was exceptional especially when repairs needed to be done. Her team took care of making the appointments, scheduling and saved me having to take time away from work to meet contractors. Rosie and her team are “Customer Service” Professionals at what they do to taking care of “Everything “ you could think of. You could get another Real Estate agent but you will not receive the “Extra” attention to every detail like Rosie and her team provide. Outstanding is all I can say, thank you Rosie and team, can’t thank you enough for providing me and my wife with True Customer Service !!!!

  Melissa Hudson is incredible. We have looked at a number of houses with Melissa last summer and into this spring. We met her at an open house and we both immediately liked her approach: she's pleasant, helpful, has her own opinions (isn't just trying to get a sale/will give an honest take) and extremely knowledgeable about the area we were looking in, the homes we were looking at, and in answering any questions we had about the process. When it came time to negotiate she was shrewd and we always felt like she was looking out for us/working on our behalf. I think all of those things make for an exceptional realtor, but I think where Melissa sets herself apart is in being extremely patient and understanding: We backed out of a potential offer, had concerns that held the process up, asked a lot of redundant questions, wanted to re-look at a house mid-day on a Sunday after she'd already shown it to us, etc. We weren't always easy clients (buying a house is a big decision) but in every instance were she would have been justified in being frustrated she was calmly reassuring, patient, and completely professional. I can't imagine finding a better realtor.

  Melissa and Rosie are awesome! They made our 1st home buying experience so easy for us. They were attentive, professional and there every step of the way! Melissa really made the whole process a piece of cake. Anytime I needed her she was available didn't matter the day or time. I would definitely use Melissa and Rosie's services again and I highly recommend them! Melissa has all the qualities you would want in a realtor. She is knowledgeable, proactive, and has tremendous integrity. I recommend her for all your buying or selling needs! I couldn't have asked for a better realtor to really make everything run so smoothly!

  We worked with Karen Hake to find and purchase our first home. Throughout the process Karen was quick to respond, attentive to what we were looking for, and always made herself available for us when we wanted to view a house. Buying a home can be extremely stressful but Karen helped to make the process enjoyable and easy for us as first time home buyers. I believe we got our home due to Karen's willingness to work hard (and sometimes late into the evening) for us. Karen is a great agent and I highly recommend her to anyone searching for a house. If you are looking in the Renton area her knowledge of the neighborhoods is priceless. Finally, I feel she is the perfect agent for first time home buyers as she was always happy to explain and walk us through anything we needed help with!

  We couldn't be happier with the job Melissa did to help us find and purchase our new home! She's hugely knowledgeable of the market in Renton and did a great job helping us narrow down our search and navigate our way through the purchasing process. We were living in a different city while we were looking, and Melissa did a ton of work to ensure that when we did travel to the city that we were there to look at properties that matched our wants and needs. We have nothing buy great things to say about Melissa, and we recommend her wholeheartedly!

  Rosie, Melissa and their team went above and beyond what I expected! We had found a house online that had only been posted for a couple hours. It was almost 7 at night and I asked her if it was possible to look at the house. Melissa had set up a walk through a half hour later for us! We ended up falling in love with the house and that night she had put together an offer for us and submitted it to the seller before 9pm! Not only did she make it possible for us to look at the house exactly when we wanted to but the sellers ended up picking our offer over 5 other peoples! Now my husband and I own our dream house and it’s all thanks to Melissa and her team 🙂 I couldn’t of picked a better agent to support us through this crazy process! They’re amazing and I would recommend them to anyone!

  Melissa is amazing! We were recommended to her by family and will recommend her to all of our family and friends starting the home buying journey.

  Rosie Rourke's team helped me sell my old house and buy my new house. I dealt most often with Rosie, Colleen and Sandie, but the entire team was used for my transactions. They were excellent in every way, communication was great, and having a whole team working my houses meant constant responsiveness. Here are some example details of what they did for me: They called to tell me my offer had been accepted - on a house that I had talked myself into liking, but no longer wanted, having just found my dream house in a brand new listing minutes earlier. When I told them this, they did not get mad at all. They found a legitimate way to rescind my offer on that house, got me in to view the dream house within 2 hours of when it went online. They then hosted a last minute open house to find a buyer for my old house so we could put in a non-contingent offer on my dream house, which had a deadline for offers only 3 days away. They sold my house at that open house the next day. Thru phone, email, fax, driving, they tirelessly worked to speed up the timing on my old house sale so that the dream house offer could, in fact, go in non-contingent with an entire 10 minutes to spare before the deadline. I now live in that dream house and LOVE IT. They chased down everything when my old house closing was delayed by the buyers' VA mortgage company, including informing the buyers' agent of the delay, which she didn't even know about. When I was finishing the last 2 hours of cleaning my old house before handing over the keys, the gas fireplace suddenly stopped working. First I panicked, then I called the team, and they had a handyman over to fix it in 45 minutes so the closing wouldn't be delayed. They were excellent at advising on which repairs and upgrades to make to my old house while minimizing my costs. Twice they talked me out of spending $$ on a new bathroom vanity, told me to just paint the bathroom instead. They were right. They wanted me to keep that money to spend in my dream house. They gave good advice on pricing for offers on new houses and listing price for my old house. They had a professional photographer take the pictures for my old house listing, to maximize interest. They were friendly and professional throughout. I will use ONLY the Rourke Team for any future real estate needs and recommend them VERY HIGHLY.

  It was great to work with Rosie Rourke and her team! They were very responsive to questions, helped us every step of the way, and stood by their work. When an understandable mistake was made, Rosie did everything she could to make it right and to make sure I was satisfied. She was very knowledgeable about the area, made sure my house would look appealing to buyers, and priced the sale to generate maximum interest. Even after the sale, she is there to answer any questions that came up. I would highly recommend Rosie Rourke for all your real estate needs!
