" Sue was fantastic!! We really enjoyed working with her to rent out our condo, and then she did an amazing job selling it when given only a 2 month heads up (if that)! She was available to connect even on different time zones (as we've been on east coast), answered questions thoroughly, explained everything in depth, and was very enjoyable to work with. I'd pick her again and again, and I've recommended her to other friends in the area! "

" Dear Others, I highly recommend Dan Benz to you. In this case, I recommend him as a realtor for buyers, sellers and/or question-askers. If Dan doesn't know the answer he finds it and gets back to you quickly. Dan wants to make the transaction that is right and best for his clients. To that end, he listens, asks questions and does loads of fact finding on their behalf. Dan is considerate, respectful, honest and really patient for a guy who likes to get things over the finish line. He works well with the many people involved in a real estate transaction to the great benefit of all parties. Dan is calm and friendly while at the same time unhesitating to speak up and hold the line for his team. I look forward to working with Dan again in the future and I hope you will, too. "

" As a first time home seller, working with Dan on the sale was a wonderful experience. With his help, we were able to sell the home for more than I thought I would ever get. Dan had solid advice to help me prepare the house to sell and he was always available when I had questions. He listened to my concerns and always provided the right guidance and options, including recommending the right professionals to do the work I needed in the house to get the best price. Communication is key, and Dan kept me informed on what was happening throughout the process. He provided a timetable of what was going to happen each step of the way. Dan brings his vast knowledge of what works to sell a house, shows the utmost professionalism and remains easy to speak with. His level of customer satisfaction second to none! I was extremely satisfied with his service and I would recommend Dan to anyone. "

Would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to sell the home. "

" Kristin was an excellent resource to have. She walked us through the process of buying a home, and provided insights and other advice from her experience. We found it invaluable to have her provide a "first pass" objective look over the homes we toured, so that while we considered the more subjective feelings of a home, she was able to alert us to possible challenges and considerations. As we went through the process we developed a great rapport with her. She helped with the offer process and provided great advocacy that helped us get the home we really loved. We would not hesitate at all to recommend her to anyone. "

" I worked with Sue and her team at Better Properties DuPont for 3+ years as the property manager of my house in DuPont. The amazing experience I had with her throughout those years led me to enlist her services again when I decided to sell my house in February 2019. Her market knowledge and expertise allowed us to quickly prepare, list, and sale the house (from start to finish in 45 days) all while I was remote in a different state. I highly recommend working with her for buying, selling, or renting your property "

" Sue did an outstanding job helping us prepare our house for sale, guiding us through the process, and managing our expectations for pricing. She was able to tell us exactly which repairs and touchups would be worth the money spent and would be recouped in the sale price, and she referred me to great people for the repairs I couldn't do on my own. Her office did the staging for photos, and it was so beautiful, I almost wanted to keep the house! She was friendly and communicative throughout the process and made it as pain-free as I could have hoped. I would recommend Sue without reservation to anyone looking to buy or sell in the South Sound area! "

- Julian Barker

" I don't typically write reviews; however, I am compelled to write this one for Carolyn. She is the ultimate agent--knows the market, is tireless in her efforts, and wonderful to work with. We were so fortunate to find her to help us purchase our home. No doubt she is heads above other realtors. "

- Joe Biehl (Buyer)

" Fantastic Experience! I have been working with Sue Larsen for 8 years. Over the years she has been a tremendous help in finding a home to purchase, and then eventually renting it out for 6 years. During that time, our renters were excellent and the house was kept up in great shape through her diligence and attention to details. When it was finally time to sell, she advised on the right price and the right timing. Thanks in large part to Sue's detailed planning, the home sold quickly and the 6 weeks of activities leading up to the closing were very smooth. This was all done while I was living on the other side of the country. "

- Karen Cortez

" Kristin is a wonderful person and realtor. She has been working in this industry for 15 years, and the experience and expertise really shines through. The biggest reason that I recommend Kristin to anyone is that Kristin cares about her clients, and wants to help. There was never pressure to do something we weren’t comfortable with. Kristin simply provided information, and advised on what courses of action were available. Kristin is great. Reach out to her and give her a chance, and I promise you will not be disappointed. "

" Carolyn and Sue did a great job for selling my old property. They decorated the empty house with warm and pretty ornaments, made people feeling the house like home. Therefore, the house got multiple offers after 3 days on the market. The professional advices helped us to pick up the best offer among all. During the selling process, they would answer your questions timely and professionally, it saved me a lot of time and closed deal quickly. Thank you very much. "

In addition to her technical expertise, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Selling our home was a daunting task for us, and she guided us through the entire process with grace and ease. I can't recommend her enough - you'll be lucky to have Sue on your side! "

- Shawn Corocran

" Sue is amazing! My wife and I searched for a house with Sue for about a year and a half. The first time we met her she sat us down and got to know us and what we were looking for in a house. She explained the process of buying a house and what to look for in all the documents that we would be signing to give us a better understanding of how buying a house works. The housing market was slim and we looked at a lot of houses. Sue would point out areas of the house that would cost a lot of money to fix in the near future. Sue stuck with us and is so incredibly patient and easy going. If we didn’t like a house there was no pressure to put in an offer. We found a house in a location that we loved but did not expect to find a house. If it were not for Sue we would still be looking for a house. We are so grateful to have had her as a realtor. "

" Sue Larsen is not only a fantastic relator, but a wonderful person. I have rarely met with a better. Sue was full of knowledge about the area and was excited to show us around. She took our likes and dislikes for a future home seriously. This being our first home purchase, we were intimidated by the process but Ms. Larsen made it simple and easy to understand. We never felt pushed to make a decision on which home to buy or which area to focus on, Sue was willing to do whatever it took to make us happy. From our first phone call with her to even after the home was purchased, she has given her full efforts to our satisfaction. Sending us daily updates of housing listings, taking us to each home we wanted to see (some of them more than once), taking the time to answer every question we asked, these are only a few of the things she did for us. I would highly recommend Sue Larsen "

" Sue was my property manager from 2013 to 2016. I switched companies with her when she started her own and I valued her services so much I partnered with her to sell my house. As a local, she has invaluable knowledge of DuPont and the surrounding cities to give atmospherics on the market. However, she was flexible enough to support my wishes even if they weren't always congruent with her advice. Sue was always completely responsive to any needs that I had and proactive in maintaining a happy tenant while always looking out for my best interests as the owner. Sue is the best agent I have worked with in 5 years of leasing, renting, buying, and selling homes. I will refer anyone moving to the area to Sue and intend to partner with her again if I ever return. "

Sue is the epitome of an outstanding real estate professional — she is an expert in the local market, a master in coordinating activities to get a house ready for sale, is attentive to detail, and is friendly and easy to work with. If you are in need of a real estate agent, look no further than Sue Larsen. I cannot recommend her highly enough. "

- AJ Bertone

" Outstanding service by a top notch professional! When I moved away, Sue managed my rental property for several years until I decided to sell.

" I went to Sue Larsen for information to help me decide whether to rent or sell my DuPont condo. I was immediately impressed by her honesty and calm demeanor. When I decided to sell, she guided me every step of the way. On the initial walkthrough, she expertly advised me on what I did and didn’t need to do to prepare my condo to sell. She also shared tips on how to best present it to potential buyers. She was always available, often calling me with updates in the evening, long past the end of the average work day. She was positive and encouraging and patient with my million-and-one questions for her. Thanks to her hard work on my behalf, there was a bidding war and I wound up selling for well over the asking price. Sue was as excited as I was about the great results. I highly recommend Sue Larsen to anyone who is considering buying or selling in DuPont and the surrounding area. Her integrity and professionalism are second to none. "

He provided us with all the right information from the very start and we very rarely had to ask a question because he had already provided us with the information. Dan was awesome with his marketing and getting us to the right selling price for our house. Dan was on top of everything from the time our listing went live to when we closed. He went above and beyond for us as we had some very unique situations arise during our selling process even after we were under contract. Even though our process was a little crazy at times, and no fault of Dan’s, he made it a positive experience and held our hand through the process. I would most definitely recommend Dan for selling or buying your home! "

- Joe Vojir

" Brittany was very patient & accommodating with my schedule. She helped me find the exact house I was looking for and gave the proper advice to win a bidding war. We will definitely use her when we buy again and for managing our rental. "

- Dawn Bailey (Digital Product Owner)

" Wow! You want Dan on your side! I had a unique home buying experience because my husband and I are buying are first house while he’s deployed. I knew nothing about the home buying process or VA loans going into it. My husband being in another county and time zone didn’t help matters. Dan was so patient with both of us and really helped us understand not only the process and the VA but also the crazy market right now. We were looking for a home in the $400k range so we were facing tons of competition. After almost 6 weeks, dozens of showings and 5 offers, he got us accepted on the perfect house! If you aren’t convinced yet, Dan and his team made some serious magic happen and were able to get us closed in 17 DAYS! With a VA loan. Unheard of. I would absolutely recommend Dan to everyone, first time home buyers and VA buyers in particular. He made the process easier, explained things super well, was absolutely on top of everything I needed before and after we got an offer accepted. He’s super direct, honest, thoughtful, professional and punctual! Thank you so much Dan! "

- Hallie Monson

" As first time sellers of our home, the process was more than a little nerve wracking. However over the course of the selling process Sue there step by step ensuring everything was done with according to procedure and excellence. She made selling our house easy with constant communication, clear expectations of what would happen, knowledgeable input, honestly and integrity. I would recommend Sue to anyone who is interested in real estate services, and if I was not moving I would enlist her services over and over again. Thank you Sue! "

- Dara and Timothy Stringer

" Kristin has been exceptional, she helped us in the rental we are in now along with finding our new home. I cannot express how excellent she have been throughout the entire process. Start to finish she was there for all our questions and concerns no matter how big or small. "

- Jeffery Canaday (Estimator / Designer)

" Brittany was there for us every step of the way. She helped answer our many, many questions and sought clarification where needed. She was very warm and kind, and felt more like a friend who happened to be a realtor than a stranger we just met. It was a wonderful experience working with her! "

- Angella Kroll (Director of home operations)

" Did you know that moths are not attracted to light they instead navigate by it. Moths use the light of the moon to help set the horizon during flight ensuring they know up from down and left from right. Unfortunately, all the ambient light in nature is often drowned out by the artificial light we use to illuminate our homes,businesses, places of recreation and worship. When I first started on a journey to find a new home for my growing family I felt like the poor moth. Easily distracted and pulled off course by all the “illumination” the real estate business and other realtors had to offer me. Then I met Kristin Schafer she literally helped me block out the “artificial ” light around me and helped me to focus on the ambient light that matched my families needs and circumstances all the while helping me keep sight of my goal and keeping the horizon in view throughout my flight path to owning our new home. Kristin went the extra mile and gave freely of her time to ensure that I understood the process before me and encouraged me through the bumps along the way. She cares about those she serves and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else but Kristin to help navigate you towards home ownership. I am forever grateful for her hard work and dedication to me and my family throughout this process. "

- Leo Gruba (Deputy Mayor City of DuPont )

" Sue has been great. She is knowledgeable of the city and the process of buying a home. Sue is very invested in the city that she works in and lives in. There was no pressure to buy; now, later or not at all. Anytime we had a question she was able to answer it. If you are in the market to buy/rent/sell, Sue is a definite! "

- Gene Burgess

" We had a great time looking for a house with Kristin Schafer! She simply helped make buying a house a great experience with no issues at all. We highly recommend Kristin as a real estate agent. "

- Lamberto Garcia (Army Mechanic)

" I cant speak highly enough of Kristin as our real estate agent. She went above and beyond listing our home. Selling a home can become a stressful situation and Kristin made the process seamless. She was very knowledgeable about the process and always responded to any of our questions. We would highly recommend Kristin and her team. "

- Shelly Sackett

" I highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for a highly skilled agent! I have worked with Dan on multiple transactions and it’s always a pleasure. Look forward to the next one. "

- Brett Bowman (Acquisitions Manager )

" I found Sue on zillow and after some prior experiences I was a little hesitant. However not for long! This was an absolutely amazing experience. We searched and found the perfect home and our luck didn't seem to be with us. Someone beat us to the punch and had made an offer. Sue went to bat for us and with her awesome expertise our offer was accepted before it could go to a bidding war, she always answered her phone and worked day and night to get us into our new home. Sue was a blessing and I recommend her highly. "

- Kacey Lichter

" Sue is the absolute best! Not only did she help us every step of the way in getting our house sold, she made sure that it was done in a way that took into consideration our family’s needs. Communication was excellent and she responded to us quickly and assuredly. She has a great reputation in the community and it shows in the quality of her team and the other real estate professionals she brings in to help get your house sold (I.e., the photographer). Finally, Sue is personable, relatable, and overall has a wonderful personality and demeanor that makes working with her a healthy and positive experience. With Sue’s help we’re ready for our next chapter as empty nesters! We highly recommend Sue for all of your real estate needs, whether it be buying, selling, or property management, as she was our property manager for our house almost 20 years ago!!! "

- Daniel and Danielle Sager

" Sue is amazing! We moved from Georgia to Washington in the middle of a pandemic. We could not see any houses physically. It was a stressful time. However, Sue was available for us at nearly all hours of the day and would call or email us immediately to help answer questions that we had. She even toured houses for us as we could not be there. Great experience overall and would recommend without hesitation. "

- Josh and Laura Sparks (Military Movers)

" We are a military family, completely new to the area and the PNW in general. We contacted Sue from our previous duty station (overseas) and she was extremely helpful in helping us narrow down what we were looking for in a home in this area. She consistently sent us listings that met our criteria, updating the list almost weekly. Sue answered our questions promptly and in a very personable manner. I would highly recommend Sue to anyone I know moving here. She made us feel like her only clients, even though I knew she had others. Even after the close of our house purchase, she has checked in on us, and still answers questions we have about the area. "

" We went and did it! We are officially homeowners! At the top of the market, finding and purchasing a property was challenging. We began our journey six months ago while exploring the housing market. Thanks to a recommendation from a friend who had recently acquired a home, I was able to connect with Mr. Dan Benz, a real estate agent at Next Home South Sound. His professionalism, honesty, calm demeanor, communication and negotiating skills are all qualities that he possesses. Dan was not only an outstanding realtor, but he was also a great support system. His knowledge of the current local market and pricing aided us in better understanding of what to expect throughout the process. Dan put up a great fight to help us get the house once we found what we were looking for. His aggressive follow-up once we were under contract allowed us to close under three weeks, keys in hand. Dan and his team at Next Home South Sound are incredible, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home; you won't be disappointed! "

- Fritzi Ann Uchiyama

" I am so happy I decided to use Sue to sell my rental property, with 6 offers, she sat down with us and made sure we got the best sales price we could get. I would definitely do it all over again and use Sue. She keeps you up to date on everything that is happening and makes the sale of any home super easy for any Seller. I recommend anyone looking to sell or buy their NextHome use Sue! "

- Elizabeth Schneider (Administrative Support Assistant)

" Brittany walked us through every step of the way. This was a first house for us. She had experience in every aspect of home buying and was willing to leverage it to help us at every step. She was also incredibly reachable. Thank you Brittany!! "

- Nicholas Rice (Buyer)

" First of all I would like to say that I normally don't leave any reviews to anyone(sometimes too busy, sometimes too lazy), however Brittany is a special-case scenario. I have met her two years ago, she helped me to get my property for rent. Let me tell you, she was a 5th agent I interviewed and I've noticed right away that she was very professional and caring person. She possessed one most important quality nowadays - "attention to detail". I immediately realized that she was the person who I could trust. Never had one single problem with our team. A year later she helped me to sell the property, let me tell you, this young lady can move mountains: we were able to sell the property without any issues, closed within a month, operating remotely: I've already moved to a different state and so Brittany managed everything on my behalf, i wouldn't trust my home to anyone else except for her. If I could go back in time and do it again, Brittany would be the only one person I would consider to do business with. Most importantly she is extremely passionate about what she does. Brittany is the person to go to for an advice, quote; she has a solid network and can connect you with helpful people in the area. She truly cares and helped me from start to finish. I believe she is a priceless asset to NextHome company. "

- Mike Glove

" Sue is an awesome relator. She is kind, helpful, and kept us well informed throughout the sale of our house. She was easy to reach out to with questions and always replied promptly. Her insight into the local housing market was extremely helpful in getting a quick sale on our house. I would recommend Sue to anyone! "

- Joshua Hillsbery (Chief Information Security Officer)

" Kristin went above and beyond to keep us up to date on the sale of our house, despite the fact that we were 3000 miles away. She met ALL our needs and sold our house in record time. If you have the chance to have her sell or buy your next home, we highly recommend her. Thank you Kristin and have a Great 2022 sesaon "

- Norbert neumeyer

" Sue Larsen is hands down the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. She is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and very punctual. I can’t say enough good things about her. I have rented from her, purchased a home with her, and sold a house through her. I whole heartedly recommend Sue for all your property needs! "

- Megan Willis

" I can't speak highly enough of Sue. She does a great job assisting those in the military who may no longer be living in the area sell their property. Even though I was no longer in the area Sue did a great job of communicating on a regular basis during the entire selling process. She was always available to answer questions and concerns. Her knowledge of the local market is incredibly impressive and she was able to help settle on a price that was competitive yet helped our home sell quickly. We had two offers on our home after only being on the market for ten days. She set up an aggressive social media marketing campaign, holding an open house the first weekend as well as staging our home to highlight its potential. Sue really did go above and beyond what I expected from a real estate agent. There may be other agents that will do the bare minimum to sell your home, but Sue does absolutely anything possible, and she makes you feel as if you're her only customer. If you are looking for an agent that truly cares go with Sue and her team. "

- stephenh0914

" Sue is topnotch when it comes to real estate market in DuPont, Washington. She lives and works in the local community, and has an uncanny way of reading the local market even during uncertain times. We started working with Sue as the market peaked and finished as it declined in late summer 2022. Sue got us the most for our house and more importantly helped us sell quickly when many other similar houses languished on the market. We have bought and sold houses in many other markets and our experience with Sue was one of our best. "

- Courtney Hansen (Seller)

" We both feel incredibly fortunate to have decided to work with Sue and her team. Prompt, professional, and trustworthy, Sue proved capable in every respect. She consistently and clearly communicated with my wife and I; at no point were we left wondering what to expect. In the end, our house sold for exactly our asking price while Sue navigated the numerous details required to finish out the deal. If you are looking to buy or sell a home in Tacoma, DuPont, or Lacey, I can not recommend Sue Larsen enough! "

- sjsmith55

" Sue Larsen is a dream to work with. I bauble bought and sold properties with Sue and will use no one else for this area! She is extremely knowledgeable reliable, responsive, responsible, timely and savvy. She thinks of everything in advance and makes sure you are prepared. She also answers any questions you may have and patiently walks you through each step of the process. Cannot recommend highly enough! "

- Jennifer MacKenzie

" Sue is very responsible and works efficiently. She knows what she is doing. Sue helped us many times and guided us through the process of buying and selling property. I highly recommend her, she will ensure that your needs are met and is an all around genuine and great person. "

- Hazel Cha

" Sue was absolutely amazing!!! I can not begin to express how great of an experience that Sue provided. We had to buy our home using only virtual tours, and the words of a complete stranger. After the first 10-20 homes that sue drove all over looking for we found the one we wanted to be ours. Sue pointed out ever single flaw with the house told us what she would recommend to be fixed before buying. All of that is good but she really made us feel she was buying the house with us. Sue never came across as a pushy agent just going for a commission. We know because in 18 years of service we had to buy multiple houses. We would not recommend any other agent! If you want a family member helping you buy a home not just a house then you need to go with Sue Larsen. "

- Kurtis Trigger

" We recently decided to sell an occupied rental home. Dan helped us through the eviction process, which was very helpful. The home was in pretty bad shape and we decided to sell as is. Dan gave us honest, positive encouragement about the sale. Dan was very knowledgeable about the market and sent us a lot of information about comps, etc. We were completely comfortable with his recommendation about the pricing of the house. Dan was very responsive to every question we had. He kept us up-to-date on offers and helped guide us through the process of the final sale. He has a very helpful team he uses to complete sales. We would definitely use Dan again and highly recommend him. "

- JULIE HATFIELD

" Sue was, by far, the best realtor we have had. She helped us buy our 4th house and made it as stress less as possible. Her integrity to ensure we had our needs met over just getting into a house was great. I would recommend her to my closest family and friends, that is how amazing she was for us. Thank you Sue!! "

- Scott Pierce

" Carolyn was a fantastic facilitator for helping me close on my new home! As a first time buyer I was anxious the process would be difficult for me to navigate, but Carolyn's expertise and confidence made everything feel manageable and orderly and I am grateful that although I did not know much about what needed done she kept me well informed and on track to ensure we had everything covered. She went above and beyond to give me advise and recommended follow up questions for me to bring to the property managers that went outside just the buying process, showing vested interest in my relationship with my new community beyond just closing the sale. I highly recommend her whether you are new to home ownership or looking for a partner to help boost your odds in a competitive industry! "

- Rachael Marie Webster (Home Owner)

" Sue helped us get top dollar for our home and sell it extremely quickly; she did this while still dealing with the unusual restrictions required by COVID-19. Her knowledge of local market conditions is unparalleled. Her recommendations on what and how to prepare our home for listing saved us time and money and worry. She is extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. "

- Robert Farrell

" We highly recommend Kristin for all your real estate needs. She makes the entire process seamless from start to finish. She also knows quality photos sell your home and the value of capturing your buyer in a single click. The majority of buyers see and fall in love with their future home online, through photos and video before stepping foot inside. Kristin is always punctual at returning phone calls and will go to bat for you when selling or buying your home. Most importantly, she’ll get the best value for you. Call Kristin today, you’ll be happy you did. "

- Rose Ande (West Sales Manager )

" Dan Was amazing! I can honestly say there could not have been a better job done. I was well informed the entire process and given great advice many times without feeling any kind of pressure. The most impressive quality Ive seen in Dan was his true dedication to making myself and family happy and comfortable during the entire home buying process. He knew the answers to almost every question I had asked (and I asked alot of insignificant questions) , and for the questions he did not know, he went way above and beyond to get me the answers. I highly recommend Dan! You couldnt ask for a better realtor that has your best interest at heart. "

- austinkopietz

" I highly recommend Dan! Dan recently assisted us in selling our home. The whole process was a great experience. Selling and buying can be so stressful but Dan walked me through each step of the process and answered any questions I had. Honestly, we had fun getting it done! He was knowledgeable and helped guide me through this crazy market. He's extremely professional and friendly. If I were buying a house in Washington, Dan would be my go to! "

- Jennifer Cadena

" Professional polite is just a couple words to describe the fantastic job Dan Benz has done.No one works harder to get the results you need on top of being a great human being thank you again my friend "

- Martin Schalk

" A friend of mine recommended Brittany when I started looking into buying my first home. I reached out and she set up an appointment really promptly. She explained the home buying process very throughly and what I could expect in the current market in the area. She was very patient with my many questions and when there were certain concepts (like additional deposits) that I didn’t understand. She was incredibly responsive throughout the whole process and linked me up with great folks to help such as my mortgage lender, home inspector, and people to help with renovations. Her friendliness, responsiveness, honesty, and knowledge helped me buy my first home with confidence. I would recommend Brittany to anyone looking to buy a home, especially first time homebuyers! "

- Bryanna Beauchamp

" Upmost satisfied with Mrs. Ulrich services. Her focus was my family and our needs, she got us into our dream home in an extremely difficult housing market. She diligently worked in showing us the right houses with our priorities in mind. "

- Edwin Gaviria (Operations Manager )

" Carolyn was amazing! She worked with my husband and I to facilitate a home purchase while we are out of state in preparation for a military PCS. She was extremely diligent in helping us find the right home, from facetime viewings to writing the right offer. She wouldn't let us settle for a home we didn't love. And she has continued to be present and supportive through closing. Definitely made a challenging home buying situation very smooth. Highly recommend! "

- Jessica Murray (Next Home client)

" Sue Larsen has truly been an amazing relator, landlord, and friend over the last 11 years. She was our landlord years ago and we liked the house and her so much that we built the same model. We ended up moving and we always used her as our property manager. She always treated the home as though it was hers, helped us make choices and contacts, and really treated us like family. She is a great person and a great realtor. I cannot say enough good about her. She is simply the best you can ask for. "

- user142852

" As a military family who has lived in several states, we’ve bought and sold homes a few times, and one of our best tips is finding a local agent who really knows and has connections in the market you are either listing in or buying in. Brittany is knowledgable and has connections to get things done. She found us our home, our lender, even a painter, and we purchased, closed, moved in, and we were hosting our first house warming party in less than a month. What I thought would take 3 months, she made happen in less than 1! We are so happy in our new home which is better than we hoped for, and we highly recommend Brittany Ulrich to help anyone in the market! "

- Amy Einck

" We have worked with Sue Larsen every single time we needed a renter so naturally I contacted her when it came time to sell our DuPont home. She is fantastic at what she does and always responds in a timely manner. Our family moved away from DuPont in 2009 so every contract was done via email, to include the sale of the home, and there was NEVER an issue. I highly recommend this company, especially Sue Larson! "

- Dawn Butler

" Here is our story. We contacted Sue on a Friday afternoon, Sunday she came by to view our home with a cost analysts worksheet. Things started moving quickly on our schedule. In two and a half weeks we hit the market running, close to twenty showings in four day's, entertaining offers on the evening of the fourth. We were very impressed with Sue's professional personalized service from the beginning of our interaction. She provided near instant response to all questions, provided information and guidance on areas unknown to us. Being a whole service professional Sue also found us a rental home why we plan our next move. We have had only smiles with our 5 star experience. "

- David Farah (Highly Satisfied in Dupont)

" A home is probably the most significant investment a family makes. There is a huge piece of mind when you know that the sale of your home is handled by someone who is trustworthy, dedicated, kind, and incredibly competent. Sue Larsen is all of that and more! When we had to leave our home she helped us find tenants and helped with the leasing on several occasions over the years, and when it came time to sell she was absolutely the best Real Estate agent I have ever worked with! She went above and beyond making sure the house was just right (on short notice) to put the house on the market, and we accepted an offer in just a few days. The transaction was the smoothest I have ever experienced, she didn't miss a beat. I strongly recommend Sue Larsen! "

- Steve Hopingardner

" I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Sue Larsen is so knowledgeable, professional, patient and kind. She helped navigate us through purchasing our first home and I can't imagine going through the experience with any other realtor. We are incredibly grateful to have her guidance and expertise through the process and continually pointing out things we never would have considered. She is truly a top notch realtor and person. "

- Michelle Murphy

" Dan was so patient, informative, and kind. He helped us every step of the way, from the loan process & closing to the move-in. He listened to what we wanted in a home, and helped us find the perfect spot. "

- majdove5

" I cannot recommend Sue Larsen highly enough. She was recommended to my wife and I by a friend of ours who had a similarly great experience. She is a knowledgeable professional that has seemingly endless patience with buyers and sellers of real estate in today's market (ours was an unusual real estate transaction, and both expertise and patience were needed). Take your chances with someone else if you want, but I would recommend speaking to Sue if you want it done right! "

- Mike Cohen

" We were referred to Sue in 2011 when we were looking to buy our first home. She was by our side throughout the whole process. A few years later we had to move out of state due to receiving military orders. We rented our house out and Sue was our property manager. She was wonderful at managing our property. Being out of state, we knew we didn't have to worry about our rental property. We just recently sold that same home and of course Sue was our realtor again. From buying to selling and having tenants in between, Sue has been wonderful to work with. She is very knowledgeable about home buying, selling and property management. We trusted her 100% and have had a great experience from the beginning. "

- fernmichael

" We have worked with Kristin over the past 3 years. Kristin has found reliable renters for 2 rental homes. Every time, she provides valuable feedback and information, and ensures that all contracts are thorough. We also purchased our new home with Kristin in April, 2015. The home was a short-sale, and Kristin worked on the negotiation for 6 months! In the end, we were able to close on the new home when we needed. Throughout the process, we were kept well-informed, but did not have to worry as we knew Kristin had our best interests in mind. While looking for houses, Kristin was professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. We valued her expertise and experience. Kristin is a real estate agent we can trust, and is one we will use in the future! "

- Anonymous

" Sue is an incredibly kind, motivated, honest, trustworthy, and hard working agent! She was recommend to us by a close friend - and we will be recommending her from now on. Sue provides transparency and thorough guidance while navigating the process of home buying. She was incredibly prompt from the start and was willing to meet with us virtually to begin the process while we were living 2500 miles away! She is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with. You won’t be disappointed in Sue’s work ethic and compassion. "

- Brandon Speedy-Martin

" Carolyn provided an excellent experience for us as first time home sellers. She calmly guided us through the selling experience with more care than I ever would have expected from a real estate agent -- she treated us as a friend. Even in the best of times, I've heard that selling a home can be one of the most stressful life experiences, full of pitfalls, uncertainty, questions, and doubt. She was able to explain the details through every step and worked hand-in-hand with the buyers agent to ensure the process moved along smoothly. Moreover, she helped us price and market the home to achieve maximum possible return. Without reservation, I recommend Carolyn as a real estate agent who places her clients goals and priorities first. My only regret is that she will not be relocating to the east coast to help us with our next purchase. "

- MRD (Seller)

" Sue is a true professional! She always goes the extra mile, never fails to find excellent tenants and makes great recommendations about the local market and home improvements to insure top dollar rentals and super fast turnovers. I have worked with her for several years and can only hope I retire before she does. :) Frank Newton M.D. "

- Anonymous (Landlord)

" It was a pleasure working with Brittany! I was impressed that from the start, she challenged us to get our home ready to go on the market quickly. She scheduled out everything for us and staged our home herself. We appreciated her great service and energy because she was absolutely perfect on the timing. We are very happy with the sale amount! Brittany is a great person and solid professional. Thank you! "

- Amy de Guia (Development Manager)

" Sue Larsen is absolutely AMAZING!!! I have previously purchased 3 homes but my most recent purchase with Sue has hands down been the best home buying experience. We currently purchased a home in a seller's market and Sue did everything she could to help us secure a great home. Sue is truly a professional who loves what she does and represents the best interests of her clients. She knows every aspect of Lacey and DuPont and she provided us with a list of pros/cons for each house we toured. I just sold our home in Maryland and wish I could clone her to help us with our sale in Maryland. There is nobody I trust more than her when it comes to real estate. I am definitely planning on using Sue again when we ultimately sell our home. It was truly a pleasure working with her! "

- Christopher Tarney

" We have worked with Sue buying and selling our home. She was always very professional. She helped us in our first time home buying process and guided us the entire way. When it came time to sell our house we knew she would be the perfect listing agent. She guided us on staging and had beautiful pictures taken of our home. Our home went pending in 5 days and had multiple offers. I highly recommend Sue and her team. "

- Suzie Q

" Sue is everything you would want in an agent! She is very responsive and thorough with answers, especially for someone new to having a rental or selling. It was great to work with one firm for all things. It was nice to know you were taken care of every step of way. "

- Ga-Hsin Lai

" Sue Larsen is an amazing advocate and professional that provides her utmost to facilitate the purchase and sell of your property. My family and I were impressed with Sue’s diligence in helping to prepare our property for sell. In addition, her keen eye successfully estimated the future sell price for property that facilitated multiple offers on our home. What’s more, she facilitated these offers with minimal hardship placed on my family that has four small children. The sell and escrow was smooth and Sue was always prompt with a recommendation or service when required. I cannot recommend enough- just an outstanding job done by a talented real estate professional. "

- Chad Fitzgerald (Homeowner that sold )

" Very helpful and always available for our questions. "

- Kris Sandberg (Buyer)

" Just to be clear, Sue Larsen is an exceptional human being. Not only did she help me sell my home within 4 days I received two competing offers, one of which is now the new owner. During the last 10 years she also provided an additional service (One Time Property Manager) in order to ”find a tenant for rent” at my property, which she excels with no doubt. Being a first time seller, Sue walked me through the entire process step by step by over the phone, text and email while we were both geographically separated. Additionally, she still maintained communication while she was overseas during the holidays and had a coworker on standby for anything I needed during her well-deserved time off. Finally, in reference to her negotiation skills, she does her homework/analysis before recommending any numbers. In addition, from the bottom of my heart I sincerely recommend Real Estate Services from Sue Larsen and her team at NextHome South Sound for DuPont, WA and the surrounding area. V/r Luis Cruz "

- Luis Cruz (Military Officer)

" The experience we had working with Kristin was nothing short of astonishing. Being well versed in her field, Kristin poseses a wealth of knowledge that she readily shares to assist her clients during the house hunting process. I believe this derives from her relentless search of information on topics big or small. If Kristin didn't have the answer or insight to answer the complexities at hand, she went above and beyond to find it in a timely manner. During the long process we went through to find our house, we always felt Kristin had our absolute best interests at heart. The care and kindness she showed our family was unsurpassed. The resources and colleagues Kristin referred us to excelled on every level within and beyond thier fields. I couldn't imagine a better house buying process. We are incredibly thankful to have met and worked with Kristin. She is a key asset in her profession and a pillar of society. "

- Alanna Canaday

" Brittany is definitely a five gold star Realtor Agent! Her professionalism, commitment, and dedication allowed me to find my dream house without any delays. She was willing to go above and beyond expectations throughout the entire process. I am extremely happy with my home purchase experience. I recommend Brittany to anyone 110%. Thank you Brittany, you are the best!!! "

- Manuel Perez Cruz (United States Army Engineer)

" This was our first time buying a home and I was nervous about many things of course, but it's less stressful with a good realtor. We truly lucked out with the realtor we got. Sue was wonderful throughout the entire process and incredibly knowledgeable. She was always available when we needed her. I would recommend her or any of her staff to my friends/colleagues. If we're ever going to buy another home in the area, I will go Sue without a doubt. "

- Ky Noble

" Brittany was awesome and made the experience of buying a house an incredible experience even though we were in another state, she was very helpful made the transition very easy and when we moved up here we had our house. "

- Art & Jenny (Home Owner )

" Brittany was so kind throughout our process of finding a place. She is amazing really! Highly recommend. "

- Jennifer Goodman

" Brittany was highly recommended to us by another service member and customer of hers. Even though we were looking to purchase a house from far away and had never bought a house before, Brittany was patient with us in answering our questions and was always ready to help with visiting the house and completing necessary documents. She took us through a process that we were nervous about and made it all manageable. She has been a huge part in making sure we have housing as we arrive to the community. "

" Kristin was great to work with. She really understood what we were looking for. It was obvious that she was more concerned about finding the perfect home for us than making a quick sale. She answered questions and was very honest about the properties we looked at. You can't go wrong if you chose Kristin as your realtor! "

" Sue was very communicative and honest with us She kept us informed and what she said was truthful We have had not good home sale experience in the past but she has restored our faith in selling We were very pleased in the final offer and sale price Thank you Sue again "

- Kim Martin (Home owner )

" We have been 110% satisfied with Sue as our agent. She was great through every step. We highly, highly recommend her! She listed and sold our home very quickly and she took care of everything. Selling our house through Sue was quick, easy, and beyond our expectations. "

" Mr. Dan Benz is the best realtor I have come in contact with. He assisted my family in finding a home to purchase, writing an offer that was accepted, listing my home that was contingent, and getting my home sold in a timely manner. Dan is professional, proficient, informative, and caring. I truly believe he is in this profession to help his client in any way possible to get the results they are looking for. He is not only knowledgeable but honest about what to expect with the current market. He stuck with us as we looked for the home that was just right for us and saw us through the process of obtaining it. He fought for us until the end, even after the sale was over when the previous owner was not completing tasks as promised. He kept everyone moving forward and held other agents accountable as they lagged in getting things done. I would recommend Mr.Benz to anyone and everyone who has any real estate needs in the PNW. You will be pleasantly surprised how much Dan will work for you when you use him as your real estate agent to list a home and/or find a new one. "

- Jami Johnsen (Home owner)

" Sue was an amazing realitor and an expert at selling our home. Her recommendations and advice helped us sell our house in less than a week on the market. Her recommendations for renovations also helped us make a greater profit in the home sale than I expected. Highly recommend and one of the best "

- user0134491

" This was our first home buying experience and Brittany was referred to us by some friends. She made the whole experience stress free and was essential to finding our house. She went above and beyond to answer all our questions and arrange for viewings of all the houses that popped up. Her advice and experience was so valuable to the whole enterprise. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a house in WA. "

- Issac Chongulia

" Carolyn is absolutely amazing. Her best characteristics are communication and follow thru which are critical traits for a property manager, especially for those stationed overseas. It has been much appreciated how responsive Carolyn has been with our needs as we deal with a 9 hour time zone difference to include the needs of the tenant which is equally important. Another key factor to consider for anyone in the Bell Hill is her knowledge of the neighborhood and the homes. I would recommend her anytime. jacob "

- Jacob Gin

" Sue Larsen was fantastic!! She went above and beyond to provide an excellent experience. "

- Mike & Ana Calderon (Military family & first)

" Carolyn was a joy to work with. She competent and very professional. Throughout the whole process of selling our home no matter the time Carolyn was there to assist. We are happy we chose her to represent us during the process and would recommend her in any professional setting in the future. "

- Oyyif & Christina Logan

" We interviewed 3 agents before choosing Brittany. She was very prepared from the get go with explaining her strategy, explaining the selling process and she had a lot of confidence she could get our house sold in the time frame we were looking at. After our meeting, she went home that night and did more research so she could make a more educated recommendation on the listing price after actually seeing the process. By the time we woke up, she had sent us an email with her suggestion. From the moment we decided to go with her, she did everything to make the process as easy as possible and as transparent as possible. She was available for estimates when contractors came by when we weren’t home, she had a list of trusted contractors and communicated consistently and quickly. She staged the house beautifully. We had second thoughts about selling because we fell in love with our house all over again! She was always just a text message or phone call away. She really knows the industry. Definitely would contact her again if we were selling/buying. We highly recommend Brittany Ulrich! "

- Bless and Stefan Kazacos

" Sue went above and beyond to help us find the perfect home while we were still living out of state. She is proactive in searching the MLS to find homes that meet your needs, and she provides expert advice about location and any other factors that may be important to you. She knows the market extremely well, and we appreciated the transparency, integrity and confidence with which she runs her business. She was an advocate for us throughout the entire process, and we truly feel she is the best realtor in Tacoma. "

- M Williams

" Kristin was very professional, knowledgeable, and prompt. She always got back to me within hours and despite her busy schedule and was able to take us on showings on short notice. It was our first time buying a home, and she helped us feel comfortable each step of the way. Kristin had worked with my mortgage lender in the past, so whenever paperwork was needed, there was an open line of communication between all of us. She never pressured us into a home, instead played devil's advocate to make sure we'd find the perfect fit. I've heard nightmare stories from friends about buying their first home, but we had the smoothest experience with Kristin so I cannot relate! Highly recommended. "

- Anonymous

" Sue Larsen did a phenomenal job helping us purchase our home in a demanding housing market. Her calm, measured approach was exactly what we needed during this stressful life event.

- DeAna Baker

" Sue helped us buy our first home in 2016. She was AMAZING! We knew little to nothing about buying a home and were on a time crunch! She got us in right away and helped us smoothly navigate the process. We got the home we really wanted!!! We loved her so much that over 4 years later we called her again to sell that very same home for us! Same experience! So smooth and she is so knowledgeable and really worked to get us the best sale price on our home! "

- Kimberly Williams

" Carolyn was our property manager for 4 years and then our real estate agent when we sold our house in 2021. She’s always been easy to communicate with and had our best interest at heart. We are going to miss her but we know if we ever decide to buy in the area again, we will be contacting her. "

- Carolyn Demaree

" My wife and I were PCSing from Tucson Arizona to the SEATAC Area, and we knew no one in the area. Luckily my wife received a recommendation from a friend of hers about Kristin, and it really was a great recommendation! We had zero problems. Kristin is friendly, responsive, did not pressure us, gave great advice and found us exactly what we were looking for. She is great and we look forward to working with her again! "

- Julio Aguirre

" Kristin was absolutely amazing. There's no doubt she got us the best possible deal our on our house. She went above and beyond with staging and also helped us find a great handyman to do some minor repairs. She gladly went out of her way to help us take care of the house after we left the state too. Just an all-around great experience with Kristin. "

- Matthew Orders

" Carolyn was so wonderful to work with. She is very knowledgeable and knows the Dupont area well. She was always available to us if we had any questions or concerns and helped us through the process and made it seem so simple. We so appreciate all she did for us to make our new home a reality! "

- Debra McManis

" Awesome experience! Sue helped me buy and sell this house, and she did a fantastic job for me! She responded to every question, made helpful suggestions, and listened to what I wanted and needed. "

" Sue is amazing!!! She is the most professional and knowledgeable real estate agent we have ever worked with and helped us understand every part of the process while selling our home...the preparation Sue and her team put into prepping and staging the home led to us getting an offer over asking price!!!! I will refer everyone to her and plan to work with her again in the future! "

- Mike Labrecque

" Sue is honest, professional, knowledgable, and is always looking out for ways to save her client's money. We converted our property into a rental after my husband was injured in Iraq in 2007. Sue took great care of it, we had very little issues and it was occupied with little to no interruption for the past seven years. The tenants Sue found respected our property and never missed a payment. Sue handled everything so I could focus on my husband's recovery and medical board at Walter Reed. She was an amazing gift in my time of need. This year we wanted to make a change and Sue walked us through the entire sale process from Virginia. It was seamless, with her expertise we were able to time it perfectly where we only missed a few weeks of rent before our condo sold. Sue's attention to detail and network of home repair professionals helped keep things moving along quickly. We got our asking price and were able to walk away with some money in our pockets thanks to Sue and her years of careful property management and expert realtor instincts. I wish I could have taken her with me to all of our duty station. She is by far the best realtor and property manager I've ever had the pleasure to work with. "

" Dan recently assisted in selling my mother’s home. I highly recommend him. He is professional, trustworthy and very responsive! "

- Alyson Rankin

" The only complaint that I have about this review is that 5 stars is simply not enough to express our heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional job Brittany did in preparing us, representing us, coordinating for us, guiding us, making strategic decisions on our behalf, listening to us, having our best interests at heart, and ultimately seeing us through to the completion of selling our home. Brittany is thee best and most ethical realtor that I have ever worked with. She made decisions like guiding us through selling our home at the perfect price and disclosing all information to potential buyers upfront, so they could make an informed decision. She is trustworthy in business! Although she is the most competent realtor for anyone in the areas she serves, I would like to specifically call all service members to attention, as I personally recommend Brittany Ulrich for all of your realty needs. She specializes in meeting the intricate needs of military families. Brittany is a complete one stop shop in the world of realty. We were able to clear out our home, and begin our PCS journey with no worries about the home we were selling. Whether you are buying, selling, renting, consulting, or just need information, Brittany Ulrich will commit to your success! Thanks Brittany for taking care of our military family! "

- Aubrey & Daisy Ashford (Home Seller)

" Brittany is awesome! We met her initially at an open house where she was the listing agent and immediately felt comfortable with her and knew we wanted to have her help us buy our house. She was flexible in finding times to meet with us and help us figure out where to begin in the home buying process. She was very responsive and honest. We wanted a home in a very competitive market and she was great at helping us figure out what to offer to make it happen. Brittany was never pushy and helped to find a great home for us! "

- Heidi Mathews (Homebuyer)

" Kristin was awesome! Not only did she help us buy our first home, but also sell it a few years later. We had to go back to her to sell because buying with her was such a great, professional experience. Kristin explains every step of the buying/selling process which made it easy for my wife and I since we were first time buyers (and sellers). She also kept us informed every step of the way and ultimately helped us get everything we wanted out of buying and selling. We will definitely be return customers! "

- Tyler A

" Brittany was absolutely wonderful! She was so confident and reassuring through the whole process. I am grateful for all the work she put in and would gladly recommend her to anyone ready to purchase or sale a home. Thank you Brittany for all of your hard work! "

- Erica Schlecht

" Was amazing to work with, she helped us purchase our home in 2019 and then was there to help us sell it this year. The house was staged so well I had to talk myself out of buying it ourselves. She provided great communication throughout the whole process and was very easy to work with. Would absolutely recommend selling or purchasing your home through Kristin. "

- Dusti Rose Bacon (Director of Education )

" Sue was referred to me as an agent who was extremely knowledgeable in the Dupont area and could assist me in finding a quality tenant for my house there. I used her "lease up" service to find and place a tenant for us. She also assisted in taking care of at least a dozen different issues left over from a bad experience we had with our previous property manager and tenants. Rock solid performance, trustworthy, knowledgeable, very friendly and a real professional who delivers. Couldn't of asked for more and will use her for my next home purchase and to find additional tenants when the time comes. "

- Sean Barrett

" Dan Benz is awesome! He is very professional, and I could trust him to look after my best interests. Without pressure to quickly choose a house, he presented options and honed in on what most to me. He was able to negotiate to help me to obtain a house that I love in my dream neighborhood. I appreciated that he made himself available whenever I had a question, and was there for me from the beginning and even after the closing. I would highly recommend him, and would love to work with him again when the time comes. Thanks Dan for making the entire process as smooth as possible. ~ Marva "

- Marva Richardson

" We entered a tough market searching for our family's first home. Upon a friend's recommendation, we contacted Kristen while searching for a realtor and I can not express how happy I am that we did. Kristen was so helpful and patient as we looked at different homes and she listened to what was important to each of us. While our likes and dislikes fluctuated as we learned what we wanted, she was supportive and understanding the whole time. She was very available for viewings and talking through paperwork and communicative if there were any scheduling conflicts. She was very easy to talk to and just an all around joy to work with. While the home buying process was quite the adventure, it was made so much more pleasant having a realtor like Kristen on our team! We can not express enough how thankful we are that we had the opportunity to work with her! "

- Becca Vogt

" When I decided to buy a house, a friend strongly recommended Dan Benz as my realtor. Upon first contact with Dan, I immediately “knew” he was the one. He took time to really understand my wants and needs. Not only that, but Dan was able to sense that moment when I walked into the home of my dreams. He stepped up to the plate for me and was able to negotiate my offer in an extremely quick manner. Because of his quick actions and ability to negotiate a win, I am now in the home of my dreams! Dan communicated in a way that I could understand and was very timely in responding back to all my questions. He took the time to ensure I understood the process of purchasing a home and what to expect. He continued communication throughout the entire closing process as well. I could not have asked for a better realtor!!! If you are looking for a realtor that is professional, respectful, honest, timely, well-educated in today’s market, and who has strong negotiation skills…I highly recommend Dan Benz! "

- Mishana Egan

" Kristin Shafer is who you want on your team! She was exceptionally helpful, patient and very communicative throughout the entire selling process. She goes above and beyond for her clients, and I cannot thank her enough. "

- Hayley Griffin

" Carolyn was extraordinary. While we were looking at homes, she was upfront and honest and pointed out pros and cons of homes, often without being prompted. With this being our first home, she walked us through every step of the process and consistently went out of her way to ensure that our needs were met. She communicated on a regular basis, by phone, email and text message and we felt that she kept a healthy balance and knew when conversations required the various means of communication. Furthermore, she communicated on our behalf with the lenders, title company and other real estate agent and placed very little pressure on us. We do not believe that we could have gotten this home without her diligence and professionalism. We are forever grateful for her and the assistance she provided to our family! "

- Cecil and Miah Simmons

" After owning our home for just a little over a year my wife and I decided to move back home to Maine. Our stress level was extremely high due to concerns related to the COVID pandemic and the possibility of not having enough equity to come out of a sale in the positive. Not only did she provide great pointers to prepare our house for showings but her knowledge of the market in DuPont far surpassed all other realtors we had spoken with as well. Look no further than Sue Larsen to list your house if you want top dollar and a relatively stress free experience! Thanks Sue, you are truly the best! "

- Patrick Sebce

" Dan was amazing! He is very knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. Dan made selling our home extremely easy for us. He went above and beyond anything we could have expected or asked for.

She made herself quickly available in this crazy housing market, which gave us confidence we wouldn’t ever miss an opportunity. She made this process feel accessible and helped us stay positive despite some outside obstacles. I would absolutely recommend her to friends seeking to buy a home in this area. "

" Sue Larsen did a fantastic job with the sale of our home and also being our agent with the purchase of a new home. She was always available at any time to call or text and provided the best guidance with both transactions.

She definitely lived up to her reputation and we would absolutely work with her again. "

- Michael and Angelica Platisa (Home seller and buyer )

" Sue Larsen has helped me purchase and sell multiple homes, as well as refer a reputable realtor for multiple estate purchases in another state. This person she recommended was pleasant and was a splitting image of Sue; a high caliber of professionalism and so pleasant to work with. Sue's knowledge of the DuPont/Tacoma area is amazing. She is attentive with call backs, text reply's, emails, and prompt with scheduled meetings. She is very knowledgeable and well prepared at all times. Her vast knowledge of the changing market has allowed me to properly price my homes. Most of all, Sue is much more than just my real estate agent, she became my friend, and I appreciate everything she has done since she's known us/me. You really are the best. Sue Larsen is the person I will call if I am in the market to purchase another home in DuPont. "

- Kareen K Medeiros (State Emergency Operations Officer)

- Patrick S

" I am so thrilled to finally have my first home! Dan was an amazing realtor to work with. First off, he's just a very nice and genuine person. We viewed quite a few houses in my home buying journey. He was always very punctual for viewings - always arrived before I did. If I had questions about a property, he didn't hesitate to reach out to the seller's agent. I really appreciate how patient and low pressure he was with me. I did not feel rushed or pressured into making an offer. But once I did decide to make an offer, he was on top of it right away. After my offer was accepted, he still followed up with me and made sure I understood the next steps. If I had questions during the buying process, he would respond to me quickly. If you're looking for an honest and efficient realtor, I highly recommend working with Dan! "

- Louise Baker

" Kristin is a phenomenal real estate professional whom I highly recommend. We recently renovated and rented a property -- a task she oversaw -- and without her help, we could not have done the job. We live overseas, so to coordinate such a undertaking in the States would have been next to impossible. Kristin had helped us in the past with finding tenants, and we knew her to be reliable, responsive, and trustworthy. As such, we entrusted Kristin with not only coordinating with the outgoing tenant and finding a new tenant, but we also asked her to do many tasks that went above and beyond the normal scope of agent duties. Among other tasks, she coordinated for repairs, carpet replacement and appliance installation. Through it all, Kristin was always responsive to our inquiries and requests. Additionally, she provided sound advice, from what price to rent our property, to what color of paint should be used in the living room. My wife and I cannot recommend Kristin highly enough. She is a tremendous agent whom we will use in the future "

- Anonymous

" Sue Larsen is absolutely amazing. My neighbors recommended her and I would not of got through this sales without her expertise, genuine kindness, knowledge, negotiating skills and caring work ethic and desire to make this an amazing buy to where I could get everything I wanted to satisfaction. She was always available via phone or text anytime I had a question about paperwork or the next steps etc. she met with me personally to go over pieces of the buying process. I had her review everything before I would review and sign anything because I knew she knew what to look for and was the subject matter expert. I will recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. I wish all realtors were like her. I would definitely ask for Sue again. "

- Stacey Barnes

" This is the second time my wife and I have gone to Sue for her help either buying a home or selling. Sue is extremely personable, helpful, and most importantly professional.

If you're looking to buy or sell a home, or investment property, in the Lacey/ DuPont, Washington area, we highly recommend you give Sue a call. "

" Amazing Rock Star Real estate agent in Dupont WA! Ms. Sue Larsen is phenomenon!! She is the most proactive, professional, and knowledgeable real estate agent I have ever worked with. She provided clear instruction and guidance to preparing home for the market, and clear communication throughout whole process of selling a home. I strongly recommend Ms. Sue Larsen to everyone. YOU want her to represent behalf of you!! "

- kev0072001

" I absolutely recommend Kristin. My husband and I sought her out to help us sell our home. We had a really short timeline to depart Washington. Kristin developed a plan and helped us stay on track from preparing the house for photos end of June to closing with asking price beginning of August. My advice for anyone hiring Kristin, do your part as the buyer or seller and let Kristin take care of the rest...she will guide you through the process with ease. She will give you all the information you need to make decisions as well as share her thoughts but she will not make decisions for you. Kristin went above and beyond to help us. I can't say enough good things about her, but I will say, if it was possible for her to help us purchase our next home...we would definitely seek her out again. Kristin possesses the attitude and demeanor of someone you want on your team...no matter what the mission is. "

" Dan is an excellent realtor and helped us purchase our home sight unseen in a competitive market. His communication skills were instrumental during our house showings via Facetime, and he provided any additional pictures/videos we requested. Dan was honest, open, and thoughtful throughout the whole process. His insight and knowledge of the local market was invaluable and ultimately resulted in making the right offer on the right place. Dan had our best interests at heart for the duration of the buying process, and we would absolutely work with him again. We recommend Dan for anyone moving to the JBLM area! "

" After moving our family across the country, we could not have asked for a better buyer agent. Sue Larsen exceeded all of our expectations. She worked tirelessly to find us the home we were looking for and superbly coordinated the closing process to meet our timeline.

" Dan Benz is an outstanding realtor and comes highly recommended. He is the epitome of honesty and professionalism, and his low pressure approach to real estate sales put this seller at ease. His ability to negotiate a fair market price, and knowledge of the local market, were spot on. His timely level of communication made our real estate sale transition seamless. In other words, Dan’s got skills!!! The sale of our home occurred during a period in which safety measures and social distancing were in place. Dan followed all rules to protect both our family and prospective buyers. I would highly recommend Dan to represent you for your real estate needs. I have no doubt you will be happy with the results. NextHome should be proud to have an employee like Dan represent their company. "

" Working with Carolyn was such a great experience. She led me through the house buying process and helped me find the most perfect house for me and my family. She was so incredibly kind, understanding, and helpful at all times. My husband was deployed and I had to take our 6 month old with us wherever we went, and Carolyn offered to help me numerous times with my daughter while I was looking around or if my baby was fussy. While we walked around the house, Carolyn gave many tips and suggestions on how something could be improved. I felt confident buying our house with her because of the dedication and knowledge she showed the entire time. Husband is now home and we are both so in love with our new house. Thank you so so much for all you did Carolyn!!! "

- Kristina Swenor

" Carolyn did an outstanding job helping me sell my home! From the beginning of the process she was extremely helpful in pointing out things I needed to update or change with the house to help increase its value. She was also very knowledgeable about the local market conditions and trends. She was very proactive in helping to stage the home and get professional pictures taken that I know had a very positive impact on the ultimate sale. Being that I was conducting the sale from out of state, Carolyn did a great job of communicating with me and keeping me updated about showings, offers, and the inspection items to be corrected. Thanks so much to Carolyn for making the process as smooth as possible! I will definitely refer my friends and family to her and look forward to working with her again in the future! "

- Stephen Vetek

" Kristin was an absolute dream, every step of the way, in what ended up being an 18-month process to get my home sold. From the start, she knew we would have an uphill battle, due to things that were beyond our control, and she was determined to get us across the finish line. I am now out of state in Texas, and Kristin stepped in whenever she was needed - from supervising painters and staging to keeping up with landscaping, and checking on why the water was randomly turned off at the property. Kristin is extremely familiar with the area, and the current market, and was confident when pricing my home. She has a great eye and made sure the home was in top condition for showing and photos. Her expertise is apparent, and she was able to walk me through every acronym, document, rule, law, etc. It all paid off - we had multiple offers to review right away, which led to the successful sale of my home, and a new start for me. I cannot recommend Kristin ENOUGH! And am forever grateful for her partnership in this process. "

- Shelby Sterne (Tech Consultant )

" As a military family, we tend to move every 3 years. We have worked with 5+ property managers/realtors, and Kristin has been a dream! From a renter's point of view, she took care of any/all questions/services we needed help with in no time! She is extremely knowledgeable and willing to help you find adequate service for a reasonable price. For instance, we had to replace a window and I had no idea where to start! She provided us with a list of 3 trustworthy contacts, which saved me many hours of research time. If Kristin is managing your rental, you can rest assured that she is taking care of your home, ensuring it is getting all the necessary service needed in order to last for years! She very closely manages any service needed in the home, without becoming overbearing to the renter. I wholeheartedly recommend Kristin to anyone looking into a) buying a home b) selling a home or c) renting a home. To my fellow military families, she is the real deal "

- Angela White

" Brittany made buying a house in this market seem easy! This was our first house and with her guidance we just got the keys on the second house we put an offer on! Unheard of in these times. "

- Kaylee Ulrich

" We give our strongest recommend to Sue Larsen as a real estate agent! We are first-time home sellers and recently sold our home in Dupont, WA. We could not be more pleased with the entire experience and outcome. Sue was incredibly professional, competent, and positive…a real go-getter and a delight to work with. We live in another state (and time zone), and she kept us informed of the process and progress of repairs and cosmetic updates to our home the entire time. She was incredibly responsive to our concerns and questions via emails, text, and phone calls regardless of the time of day (or night). Her recommendations were spot-on and helped us get the best possible offer for our home. We are so happy with the results and would unhesitatingly choose to work with her again! "

" Sue knows the market better than anyone. She listed our property and sold it for full asking price in a matter of days. Sue knew the right price, the best ways to present the house and where to advertise. She is a true professional and her knowledge and skill will serve you well. If you need to buy a home, Sue is the best. If you need to sell your home, she is the best. If you are looking for a property manager, she is the best. "

" Sue has provided professional, friendly and proficient business assistance. She is an awesome property manager! As a military family moving can be chaotic to say the least. Sue was helpful from the start and she made the transition simple and worry free. No other property manager compares to the excellence of Sue Larsen. We highly recommend Sue Larsen! "

" We have had a rental property in DuPont for 8 years and Sue has helped us find renters for that property four times. Each time she has completed thorough background checks and helped us find tenants with whom we felt confident. She is able to find renters quickly, once we had only two days between when the old tenants moved and the new tenants moved in. Whenever we have had questions about anything rental property related she is always ready to help. We had a small problem once and we called her prior to calling our insurance company - we trust her that much! "

- Jen Senior

" Brittany did an awesome job in finding us a home in this hard housing market. She is very efficient and walked us through every step in the process. I don’t think I’ve had such an easy experience buying a home. She did such a great job that we want her help to also sell our home. "

- Cuong Nguyen

" If we could give 10 stars we would. Kristin did an amazing job. She truly went the extra mile while representing our family and our families needs. No task seemed to great, whether it be researching county records or hunting down contractors to ensure closing punch lists were completed. She was always available to answer questions and even helped us resolve an issue after we closed on our home. She is conscientious and has an incredible work ethic. My wife and I highly recommend Kristin for your real estate needs! "

- Lee and Patricia Cash (Homebuyer)

" Sue is amazing. She was recommended to us in purchasing our home and did not miss a beat. Over the years we kept in contact and always talked when we saw each other while in town.

" Kristin Schafer was a wonderful real estate agent for us from the point we began house hunting to the day we rented out our old place. We began looking for a new place at the beginning of the summer. She was patient with us and we never felt like we needed to “hurry up” or “settle” for something that wasn’t perfect for us. She was just a text away anytime we wanted to view a home and was ready at a moments notice. Once we found a place we loved she took us through the entire process. After the house closed she advised us on how to prepare our old house for rental. She advertised it for us and secured a renter for it under a month. I can’t say enough about how nice she made a difficult process. Thank you! "

" I was introduced to Dan through my mortgage broker of several years. He presented himself with an open and low pressure professionalism that I found reassuring. His knowledge of the marketplace and his marketing skills were impressive and spot on for me. Dan is aggressive from the beginning with strategies and frequent communication regarding processes and progress. This resulted in my better understanding of all aspects of selling a home. The resulting sale of my home far exceeded my expectations. I attribute this success to Dan's extensive knowledge of the market and his straight forward honesty I would highly recommend Dan to anyone for his service. He was a pleasure to work with and I would be proud to have him as a friend. "

" Carolyn has done a fantastic job of managing our home. She was referred through a neighbor and we are so glad we decided to work with her. We are a military family and currently live in GA and Carolyn has gone above and beyond to make things easy for us from afar. There are lots of property managers out there but I can't imagine anyone being as easy to work with, quick to respond and professional as Carolyn. I would say that is true as a home owner and for our renters. "

- Kevin Lucciola

" Carolyn is an outstanding real estate agent! The absolute BEST! She made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

" We've worked with Kristin for over 3 years. First as a property manager then as our listing agent. She has been nothing but awesome! She was in constant contact and communication even while she was our rental property manager. As our listing agent her advice was always sound and she got us exactly what we wanted and more. We will miss working with her. We highly recommend her, you will not go wrong working with Kristin. "

If I have any friends or family looking for a home in the Pierce County area, I’ll definitely give them Sue’s number! "

" From the first meeting we knew that Brittany would take great care in selling our home. Even while we were sick with covid she was checking in on us to see if we needed anything. Once we were better everything happened very quickly and efficiently. The contractor walk thru, the work getting done, showings, showings abs a lot more showings. Then it was finally time to select the offer in which she was very helpful in explaining how all the different offers worked. I can't imagine selling with anyone else or anyone taking more care in preparing our home and us for the selling process. She's the most amazing realtor that we've ever worked with. Thank you for everything. "

- Rick Stanifer (Seller)

" My husband and I loved working with Carolyn, as first time homebuyers and with the current market, I thought buying a house would be the most stressful thing I’ve ever done. I’m happy to say that there was absolutely no stress with Carolyn’s help. She was patient with us and worked hard to meet our wants/needs in a house. I always felt like she had our best interest in mind and wanted us to find our forever home. I would, without any, hesitation recommend her and will definitely use her in the future with any other home purchases or sales. THANK YOU CAROLYN!!!! "

- Valerie Chance

" Working with Sue to sell our home has been a great experience. She has been nothing but professional while working as our property manager the last two years. We received monthly updates on any payments, maintenance or other concerns for our property as well as annual reports. Whenever there was an emergency we received timely updates, recommendations and options. When we decided to sell our property Sue laid out our options in detail helping us to determine the best way forward. Sue explained our options on how to list our home and went through the added effort of staging and preparing our home to receive the highest possible offers. As first time sellers she helped layout and explain the offers made by potential buyers to help us make the best possible choices. Throughout the whole process she has been patient and flexible in accommodating our work schedules to meet each deadline. The entire process has been seamless from start to finish and we highly recommend working with Sue and and the NextHome team for any real estate needs. "

" Sue Larsen had been taking us to a couple of different houses in the Lacey Olympia area. My wife saw a listing on the web on Wednesday night. We called Sue at 8:30 on Thursday morning. Sue made arrangements for us to see the house at 11:30. Ginny read the description to me as we drove to Lacey. It occurred to us that this particular house was not going to be on the market very long. Sue Larsen was always available to help us. She met us at the house and after our tour we went out to lunch. Upon reflecting on our discovery of this incredible house we made an offer. By hook and by crook our offer was accepted and we are moving in on Tuesday. If we had not had the excellent partnership of Sue Larsen and her years of experience this house would not now be our home. She held our hands throughout the entire process, guiding us each step of the way. She made this sale possible and made us very happy. Thank you Sue Larsen for your expertise. Thank you again, Ron and Ginny "

- Ron and Virginia Sather (Retired)

" Kristin went above and beyond for our military family. She was knowledgable all along the way and helped us to find the perfect house from across the country. She wanted to get to know our family and our needs in depth and fought for our best interest. I can't say enough good things about her professionalism, and knowledge. I will not be surprised to see her face on any top sales magazine because she has to be the best agent we have ever had. To preface this we move every three years so we have worked with a few. "

- Lacey Monson

" Sue is very professional and does whatever she can to ensure that her customers receive the best support. She literally was there from the moment we began looking for a new home until the day she helped to sell our home years later for above asking price. You can't go wrong with Sue. "

- ocBanks

" Kristin has been assisting our family for over 12 years now. She went above and beyond to find us a great home and made recommendations on our purchase in 2010. Since then, because of her knowledge base, we are now able to sell our home for a significant profit. She also facilitated a seamless selling of our home as we move on to a new chapter in life. If you want to ensure you get a good home, at a good price, and without any confusion, then you want Kristen. She will be honest and make recommendations that are in your best interest, not hers. Her selfless service is a testament to her hard work and education as well as the company she works for. I wouldn’t have chosen any other agent and blessed we chosenKristen from the beginning. Seriously, you don’t want anyone else. You wanna make money/profit? Choose Kristen. You wanna get a good deal and a beautiful home to fit your family? Choose Kristen. I can’t imagine where we would be without her. "

" Sue Larsen was extremely helpful to me and my family when looking for our home. We were living in Germany when we started looking for a home, and she would view properties for us, send us videos, and was very honest about the condition of the homes. Throughout the process she would go above and beyond to assist us, and ensured we understood each part of the process. The area where we wanted to buy was a sellers market and homes were going fast. Sue was always there finding us new homes to look at, and contacting other realtors to help us find the right home. In the end, she helped us for over four months, and was always there ready to help us, not only by finding our forever home, but giving us great information on the area, home care, and local schools. She was always honest and transparent throughout the whole process. I have worked with other real estate professionals while buying other homes, but by far, Sue has been the best. "

She is the consummate real estate expert--whether you are looking to buy, sell, or rent your home--or looking for a rental property. She KNOWS the local market! In helping us sell our latest house, Sue put together a great sales plan that included tastefully staging our home along with professional photos and on-line video walk throughs. She is an expert proactive communicator who kept us informed at every step of the process from across the country. As our "seller's agent" she personally invested herself in negotiating the very best deal for us: With great skill she generated and coordinated over 30 physical viewings over 3 days that resulted in over numerous offers--all over our asking price. The winning offer was $35K over our asking price! WOW WOW WOW--All because of Sue!

If you need to buy or sale a home or any advice please call SUE! "

- Kim King (Seller)

" Before I begin this review, I just want to first mention that Dan Benz is the best realtor you could ask for. As first time home buyers, the anticipation of buying a house is very exciting yet nerve racking. My fiancé and I are had a lot to learn about buying a house. However, Dan made this process so easy and we felt comfortable the entire time. Dan offered us a tremendous amount of help in educating us on the buying process. He was very efficient and professional throughout the entire process. Dan is very personable and great at communication which makes his negotiation skills very effective. Dan was always available to answer questions quickly even if we had them at 9:00pm. We felt very comfortable with Dan because he was always open and honest. We can’t thank Dan enough for all of the time and help he gave us through this journey. I would recommend Dan again in a heartbeat to any friends and family. Thank you so much Dan for everything you did to help us buy our first home. "

- SydneyAvise

" We have worked with Sue Larson since 2008. She helped us rent out our house with only a weekend between renters. Recently Sue worked long hours to sell our house within a week of getting it on the market, all while we live in another state. If I had a question she always had the answer to me within the hour. I will always recommend Sue Larson to any friends heading to the Dupont area "

- awhksh

" Kristin Schafer is an amazing realtor. She not only guided us through our whole house sale but also made recommendations while the sale was pending. She was chosen from three different realtors and does not disappoint. If we buy another house in the area She will be my go to and should be everyone else's also. "
