We worked with Tara and Eva this past summer to list and sell our house in just five days.  The success of the sale was really all about the preparation, planning, and research done by our team.  Prior to listing the house Tara visited and allowed us to see the house through the eyes of a buyer.  She helped us to see what needed to be purged and how our home should be staged to sell.  Eva and Tara worked with us via email to find comps in our neighborhood.  This was helpful in letting us know what we would be able to expect for our house and to insure the house was priced correctly.  They were open to my husband and I finding additional comparable sells in the area to get a better range of prices.  Pricing of our house was key to it selling, and selling fast. Eva and Tara’s advice to have our home “vacant and staged” was great.  We were out of our house for 4 days which allowed prospective buyer to visit the house as much and as often as they wanted to feel comfortable making an offer.  We have small children and having to keep the house “view ready” at a moments notice was not easy.  Thankfully the majority of the viewers had at least initially viewed the home while we were away.  The remaining viewings were from serious buyers and we didn’t mind packing up and leaving one bit. In the end we had multiple offers on our home.  Eva and Tara worked hard to help and bring some of these offers to the table explained what each of the offers were and gave their recommendation for accepting an offer.  Since it was the first time selling a home for us, the multiple offers were a bit intimidating.  After talking through the offers with Eva she was able to contact the prospective buyers agent and helped to negotiate an offer that better suited our needs, knowing that there were several people interested.  We were sad to leave our home in West Seattle, but happy to have the process move quickly and efficiently.
Tara and Eva are quite the team!

I've now bought two houses with Eva.  The first time (2006), she figured out quickly that I hate shopping, figured out what kind of house I wanted, and helped me find a great one back when the market was hot.  The second time (2009), the market was cold, and she helped me deal with a very difficult seller.  Both she and the finance/escrow people she works with are fantastic.

She is fantactic!

I was introduced to Eva through friends who have worked with her. She came highly recommended, and I in turn have highly recommended her to other friends. I have worked with her as both a sellers agent and a buyers agent.  As a sellers agent, she provided market insight and home improvement suggestions that facilitated multiple offers in a down market.  As a buyers agent, she helped negotiate a fair price that was lower than asking price. The difference between Eva and other agents is astounding.  Her market knowledge, principles, and professionalism far exceeded my expectations.

She far exceeded my expectations!

Eva is a gem. She has a great approach in terms of giving her honest opinion not just telling you what you want to hear. She is clearly an advocate for her clients and can hold your hand through the whole process.

She is clearly an advocate for her clients!

I interviewed many real estate agents before being fortunate enough to get referred to Eva.  Over the several years that I have worked with her, I have come to trust her judgment and experience completely.  From helping us to remodel our kitchen before the sale to evaluating homes on the market, she has an extremely keen eye and calm demeanor.  She is truly a professional and values her customer service with clients.  A completely dependable and warm person that I recommend without reservation.

She is truly a professional!

We have moved around the country many times and have worked with many agents and were so thankful to find Eva! Eva is amazing and certainly set the bar high for any other agent we have encountered. Eva was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and went far beyond anyone I have met to make our move a positive experience in every way. Even though we moved away from the Seattle area a number of years ago, we still remark about how nobody will compare to her when it comes to finding the perfect home or selling a home.

We were so thankful to find Eva!

Eva was truly helpful throughout the process of locating and purchasing our first home.  She took time to find out what was important to us, helped us to focus our search, and ultimately found us an opportunity that suited us more perfectly than we could have imagined.  I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for an agent in the Seattle area.

My parents and I bought a house in Seattle with Eva and her colleague, Tara Farquhar-Hagen in 2014. We could not have asked for a better team than Eva and Tara. They helped us navigate an extremely tough market with humor and cunning, ultimately helping us buy an amazing house in a far better location than we’d set our sights on. We looked in Central and South Seattle, and they knew these neighborhoods very well. Both were great at listening to our goals for a home and making insightful recommendations. They were open to our ideas and desires, but also good at keeping us down-to-earth, whether it meant talking us out of homes that looked cute but had structural problems we couldn’t see or keeping us from getting caught up in bidding wars that would result in us paying far more than a house was worth. They always made time to go on viewings, and even would go on our behalf if we were unavailable.  We especially appreciated that if they spotted something wrong with a house right away – for instance, poor foundation – they would cut things off rather than wasting our time with visiting it. We ultimately ended up buying a mid-century fixer-upper in Madison Valley. It was an estate sale, and we never would have found it – nor seen its potential – without Tara and Eva acting fast, checking it out and sending us video while we were at work, and talking us through its potential. They were great at getting inspectors out that day and even talking with the neighbors to get more information on the sewer line. During the offer process, they had excellent strategies for working with the sellers’ agent and made sure that our offer was the most attractive, even though there were other offers that were the same amount. They were highly responsive and extremely knowledgeable about the market and the buying process. They stuck with us through a long closing process and were wonderful about working with the escrow and title companies and keeping us in-the-loop. Now that we’ve closed, Tara and Eva are still in touch to provide recommendations on contractors and even arranged for a locksmith to come change the keys before handing them off to us. We feel so fortunate to have worked with Eva and Tara and would highly recommend them!

We feel so fortunate to have worked with Eva and Tara!

Eva is great!  I highly recommend her services.  She helped me sell my house using her excellent knowledge & expertise.  I was a bit concerned in this market & economy that I would be in for a long, drawn-out experience.  But with Eva's help with market conditions, pricing, staging, etc. my house sold in TWO & A HALF WEEKS!!!  And not only that, but her negotiating abilities got me FULL ASKING PRICE!!!  Now, certainly there was definitely some elements of luck involved with the right person finding the house & falling in love with it; but I credit Eva very much with this great experience.  Both buyer & seller are very happy with the outcome.
Thanks so much Eva!

Eva is great! 

Eva is the ideal buyer's  agent in the Seattle region.
She has been accompanying us from the beginning of the process.
First, she listened to us, mapped our wants and needs so we could focus on certain types of homes.
Based on that, she came up with listings, or responded to the listing we gathered on the web ("That's a terrible neighbourhood", "This is a desirable location" "That may be a long commute").
During the showing, she gave us a valuable information about the building quality, its architecture ,its nuisances,  its re sale value etc. She even took us to not- so -probable listings so we can define what we DON'T want for sure.She was also watching closely the lending process and smoothed some (minor) problems we had.
Throughout the process, Eva has been patient even when we were totally confused or discouraged. She 's given us the sense of feeling of being more than someone we're doing business with, I would even say a friend.
And yes, she got us a nice discount on the listing price, which is becoming rarer in this market.
So, I warmly recommend working with Eva.

Eva is the ideal buyer's agent in the Seattle region!

Our homebuying experience with Eva and Tara was terrific due to their personality, knowledge of the market, perspective and the connections they brought to our buying experience. We were coming from out of state into this ludicrous market and they made the process less stressful (even fun at times) and maneuvered us into a successful buying experience in less than a month. From the start they were honest about our position in the market, helped set our expectations and educated us thoroughly so that we understood our options. Hearing from both of them gave us as buyers the different perspectives that we each needed. They also listened earnestly and were a solid sounding board to equalize the emotional roller coaster that is home buying.

Their connections to lenders, inspectors, and positive relationships with other brokers made things happen super quickly and put us in a much better position to make offers, get answers or simply have the space to make a decision. As a team, one could work with the other broker while the other quickly jumped on any questions about the property, and that kept us competitive.

We loved working with them and would highly recommend them to our friends and family!

We loved working with them!

While I did not hesitate to give Eva 5 stars in all categories, I would have given 6 stars for negotiation skills if possible... When we put in an offer on our home, there were other offers that were very competitive. I believe that Eva had drawn up an excellent contract which initially made the seller select our offer over the others. At this point my wife and I were extremely excited and ready to sign the contract, but Eva was able to make a few other adjustments which which the seller agreed to before the deal was finished(The new roof was great last winter!). Thanks Eva!

5 stars!

Eva is experienced and professional, and truly cares about her clients. We always knew that Eva had our best interests in mind and we have recommended her to all our friends thinking about buying and selling. We were turned off by other "salesman-y" real estate agents, but Eva was a refreshing change! She went above and beyond and put in a lot of time and effort to help close our sale; I don't think it would have gone through without her.

I don't think it would have gone through without her!

The Brandenburg Team, Eva & Tara, were our buying agents for the home that my fiancee and I just bought.  It was our very first home and we had been looking on and off mostly on RedFin for two years.  We went to at least 40 open houses over that time span but were demoralized by the throngs of people at the open houses, the escalating prices and multiple offer for most homes in our area.  We finally decided to use an agent, and based on a strong referral from my coworker, Eva & Tara became our agents.  The entire home buying process changed after we started working with Eva & Tara.  Tara immediately assessed our needs and demystified a lot of the processes that we had heard about but didn't really understand (multiple offers, waiving this that and the other, what to look out for in older craftsman homes etc.).  After just a few meetings and home viewings with Tara, we felt so much more knowledgeable about the whole process and so much more confident and decisive walking into open houses with tons of other buyers swarming around. Another thing I loved about viewing houses with Tara was her honesty.  You felt like you were with your best friend who happened to be insanely knowledgeable about houses.  She'd call out all the flaws in a house and help you assess whether they were big deals or easy fixes.  There's at least one house we would have put an offer down for had we not had her knowledgeable eye.  I remember waking up the next morning feeling so relieved we were working with her (and that we didn't go for the house). Another great thing that Tara did is help my fiancee to open up his search outside a very specific neighborhood he was interested in.  I had been trying for 2 years to convince him that there were some other great neighborhoods very close by to look at.  Thank you so much Tara for helping him branch out.  Needless to say we ended up in one of those "other" nearby neighborhoods he originally refused to consider... and one of his favorite things about our new house?  The neighborhood!! The offer process was of course a bit nerve-wracking but we were confident that Eva & Tara had done everything they possibly could to set us up for success.  They found out as much as possible before the offer explained their offer strategies depending upon how many offers were on the table and explained every detail to us throughout the process.  We literally couldn't be more informed or more trusting.  If we didn't get the offer, I'm convinced no one without a cash offer or overpaying would have been able to get it. Post offer acceptance up through the closing were easy and smooth.  Tara told us exactly what to do and when and we sat tight and waited for the closing.  We're now post closing and have our new wonderful home and my fiancee and I couldn't be happier.  We ended up with the perfect house for us and a price that was in our initial price range and we feel confident that there's no way we could have done it without Eva & Tara. I am happy to recommend as highly as possible The Brandenburg Team, Eva & Tara.

There's no way we could have done it without Eva & Tara!

Eva has an expert knowledge of the Seattle real estate market.  She not only helped us find an amazing house, she helped us with referals along the way for movers, windows, contractor, etc.  Eva is kind and patient and doesnt try to push you into something that isn't right for your lifestyle which my husband and I appreciated a lot.  She started out as our real estate agent and has since become a friend who I have referred many other friends to.

Eva has an expert knowledge of the Seattle real estate market!

My 5-star rating isn't an exaggeration or generosity -- Eva absolutely exceeds expectations. As a fairly young (mid-20s), unmarried couple with no home-buying experience and a modest budget, real estate was a big mystery with lots of possible complications and points of confusion. From our first meeting with Eva, she was straight-forward, encouraging, and helpful. She answered every question honestly and clearly. She gave solid recommendations. She was 100% knowledgeable and prepared. And, she was a fun person to be around. We felt comfortable and excited, not at all pressured to buy. On our first day touring homes, Eva listened carefully as we drove around neighborhoods and walked through houses. She pointed out lots of info we would have missed on our own. She adjusted our list of prospective houses accordingly, so we wouldn't waste time at unrealistic homes (ex: ruling out a house with a floorplan I was sure to dislike), and she never stepped outside our price range. When we (surprisingly? accidentally?) fell in love with the 4th or 5th house we visited that day, Eva provided some pros and cons, took us to see another house or two for comparison, and gave us time to think. We decided this was our house, with excitement rather than fear or hesitancy. It was so early in our home-buying search that we weren't even approved for a loan yet. Fortunately, Eva had recommended a fantastic loan agent who worked intensely to get us approved. Eva helped us put together an offer to submit as soon as we were able. In our whole home-buying process, we had one single day of stress (waiting for loan approval). The rest was fun and exciting. In the 2 years since then, we've seen and heard from Eva often. She's very knowledgeable about service providers in Seattle (plumbers, etc), and sends friendly reminders about general house maintenance (we'd probably miss this stuff otherwise). She's also wonderfully social, and we've met other fun people through her. I truly wish I knew more looking to buy or sell a house, because Eva is amazing and I can't recommend her enough.

Eva absolutely exceeds expectations!

At the height of the real estate bubble, I had the good fortune to meet Eva Brandenburg.  I had interviewed 3-4 realtors referred by friends or co-workers, none stood out like Eva.  We met over coffee and just explored my situation and got to know each other.  She introduced me to the home buying process, all the players involved and helped me navigate the super competitive market.  We made the list of “must have”, “would be nice” and “no way” before we started.  We did market research before we ever set out and her referral circle is amazing!  
Her ability to negotiate and maintain positive relationships with all sorts of buyers, sellers, agents, lenders, inspectors, and neighbors made the road so smooth.  Her transparency in communicating the pro’s and con’s of each property were objective and matched to my own individual list.  She made me feel like I was her only client, she knew my list so that as we walked properties she could help me visualize how I could set up a home or get me out of a place quick if she saw it was a bad deal.  As a First Time Buyer, her integrity and experience were invaluable to me. She was not just willing to answer my questions, she went the extra mile to follow up with articles and reports to educate me so I had the information to feel safe and confident about a decision.  I felt like she always had my back. She wasn’t with me to make a sale but to find a home.
Her patience and positive attitude was phenomenal, unlike other agents, she never lost her cool and always but my concerns above all others.  I looked for a house for over a year, I read the articles she sent me and studied the maps of neighborhood and homes she had found that were a good value.  I spent so many Saturdays with Eva, driving walking and crawling around homes, she was always on time, consistent, friendly, kind and painfully realistic with my budget and the realities of the market.
When I was finally ready and found a place I wanted to make an offer on, Eva was on fire.  I let her know on a Thursday, we had a showing the next morning with an inspector already lined up.  At the last moment I had to come up with another 10K, and that is when I realized the excellence in coordination and resources Eva can mobilize to make things happen.  We worked with banks and brokers and family and retirement plans to find the money.  By Friday afternoon, she had drafted various contingency options to set me up with a competitive bid and by Friday night, we had an offer in.  
I was trying to buy a home alone, on a modest income at the height of the real estate bubble.  There were four other competing offers that drove the list price up 30K, my offer was not the highest bid, but I had taken Eva’ advice and took every option Eva had in her tool kit.  The buyer accepted my offer and Eva held my hand to escrow. 
We overhauled the walls, plumbing, electrical, paint and yard in 6 weeks and moved in on Halloween.  About a week later, we got an 8x10 original photo of our home from some historic archives from Eva.  Every year, we would stay in touch and get together, often at one of her famous holiday parties to carve pumpkins or drink mulled spice wine.
We moved out of the area and rented our place for a while, but when my mom got ill and we lost our excellent renters. At the same time, my mom became terminally ill and I stopped working to care for her.  We made the decision to sell our Seattle home in 2015, when the market was just barely recovering.  By this time, Eva had a partner and we met Tara, who embodied the same interpersonal excellence and friendliness as Eva, but with her own style and interests.  
We let them know our situation and talked over the phone.  We got them keys and they did a walk through assessment and gave us a task list, timeline and contacts…then offered to make it happen.  Tara loved our garden and came by to keep our flowers alive for curbside appeal.  My husband went up on a few weekends to work through the task list.  Whatever we couldn’t do, Tara, Eva's partner, was able to pick up the slack.  They had a solid market strategy and market timing plan that we kept to.  When we listed, we got 11 viable offers, which we reviewed all together virtually to walk through all the pro’s and con’s with the same transparency, integrity and kind honesty I remembered.  After having the place be under market from the recession, were able to recover our investment and turn about a 30% profit.
Since then, we have moved out of state and purchased a home, the agent was professional and kind, but didn’t hold a candle to the level of attention, customer service and excellence Eva and Tara bring.

Her patience and positive attitude was phenomenal!

Eva and her business partner, Tara, are miracle workers. Here is why: I bought the first house I bid on, which in this fast-moving market is unheard of! It was amazing how smooth and easy they made the whole process. As a first-time home-buyer, I was nervous. I wanted to make an informed decision so I asked a lot of questions. They talked me through everything in detail and listened carefully to all my concerns. When it came time to put in an offer, they understood precisely how to position my offer to give me the best chance of success. Happily, it worked, even though I was not the highest bidder. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Eva and her business partner, Tara, are miracle workers!
