Client Reviews

“Leaving our first home in Renton was bittersweet – it’s where we raised our kids and built so many memories. JD made the process so much easier for us. He did an outstanding job marketing our home, and within one weekend, we had multiple offers and a bidding war that landed us well over asking price! We felt truly supported every step of the way and couldn’t be happier with how smoothly everything went. Thank you for your expertise, dedication, and for helping us close such an important chapter with ease.”

“My wife and I recently went through the process of selling our condominium during a challenging real estate market for new listings. JD went above and beyond to make sure our listing was accurate, professional, and would stand out against the competition.

Throughout the entire process, we felt confident that JD had our best interests in mind. He is fully transparent, knowledgeable about current market conditions, and goes out his way to ensure his clients understand every step of the process – quickly settling any uncertainties.

With JD’s guidance and hard work, we were under contract much sooner than expected – which seemed impossible during the current market trends. We are so thankful to have JD as our listing agent and would highly recommend him to any of our family and friends for real estate needs.

“We are first-time home owners in a competitive Washington state market. Thanks to JD Blacksmith with Lake & Company we found the perfect home for us. He provided great customer service that was both informative and relational. He was so friendly, knowledgeable, and understanding of both our situation and the market itself. JD was communicative and very quick to respond whenever we had questions. We were grateful to have JD as our Real Estate Agent throughout this process!”

“Working with Heather and JD Blacksmith was a pleasure! They are professional, knowledgeable, responsive and had out best interests at heart. Their attention to detail made the process easy to navigate. They kept us informed every step of the way and negotiated great deals on both the buying and selling of our homes. They also have a trusted list of contractors to assist in the repair/remodeling of home before sale. It made the experience less stressful knowing that they were project managing the details, so that we didn't have to take that on. Their teamwork, dedication and personal touch made us feel confident and supported throughout the process. I would highly recommend Heather and JD Blacksmith to anyone looking for a home. Personable, professional and awesome!”
