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.

  Rosie and her team handled the sale of our home with knowledge, expertise and great customer service!! They went beyond what would be expected to make sure everyone was informed at all stages of the sale! The personal care they put in makes you know she has everyone's best interest at heart! I thank Rosie and her team for all the extra steps they took to make the sale happen!! Thank You!

  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!

  Melissa was a fantastic business partner to help us find and obtain our new home. She helped and guided us through each step of the process taking all the time needed to assure we were happy and successful. We would absolutely recommend Melissa as an agent for any type of home transaction, buying or selling. Thank you for making this a great and comfortable experience.

  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.

  Melissa worked tirelessly to guide us through what turned out to be a particularly complex house buying transaction. The Rosie Rourke Team worked well together to help and support each other and us throughout the entire process. Had Melissa not been working hard for us, I truly believe we would not be in our new home today! When it came time to sell our former house, I didn't even consider anyone else, I knew Melissa would make the process easy and smooth. She has excellent knowledge of the real estate market that helped us garner top dollar. She also has a vast network of professionals that she tapped into to help us get out house ready for the market. I would highly recommend Melissa Hudson for your real estate needs!

  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 spouse and I worked with Melissa Hudson for nearly a year. As first time buyers we had many questions. Melissa was honest with her answers and could find out anything she didn't know. It took a long time to find something that worked in our range. There was never any pressure from Melissa and she was always very positive. She was also extremely punctual and professional. I would recommend her to my Mother, and hopefully we will have the pleasure of purchasing any future properties with Melissa's help.

  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!

  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.

  Melissa was professional and helpful from the first day we were introduced. She helped us through many home visits before finding ones we were ready to put an offer in. Through our whole home search, my wife and I felt like we were Melissa’s only clients and she made plenty of time for us in the evenings after work. Once we were ready to put in an offer, she helped us understand the steps/process clearly so we could be confident in our offer. Despite some negligence on the bank’s side (missing our closing date twice), Melissa handled the situation positively and escalated the issue with the bank on our behalf! She took full responsibility of the complete transaction (even though the loan completion is the bank’s responsibility) and saw it through to completion. Cannot say enough good things about working with Rosie’s team, especially Melissa, and would recommend for anyone buying/selling a home in the Renton/Kent area!

  It was an easy, smooth and extremely satisfactory transaction. All team members in Rosie's team were helpful and responded very promptly to all of our concerns and queries. They made us feel an important client of theirs by giving topmost priority to every issue at every step. We loved working with Rosie and her team and look forward to working with them in future also. We strongly recommend using their service for those looking out to buy or sell their property.

  We wanted somebody that was responsive. That is exactly what we got! It was a wonderful experience for us with the Rosie Rourke group. Colleen was amazing and we found the perfect home for us.

  Colleen did a great job of showing me and wife different listings around the Kent area. She was prompt in communication and knew the surrounding areas quite well. In our second weekend of looking at houses we were able to find a home that my wife and I both loved. We had our offer accepted and successfully closed on the home thanks to Colleen and the Rosie Rourke team.

  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!

  Rosie is an expert in what she’s doing. She helped us bought and sold our house in Renton. Both processes were quick and easy. She’s very friendly and easy to work with.

  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!

  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 and her team were amazing!! She has so much knowledge of the area we were looking at. She was so patient and persistent with us, we were kind of picky and had a lot of needs we wanted in our next home and she completely understood and just kept at it! I would definitely go with her and her team again and recommend them a hundred times over, and have recommended them to people already!
