When you Buy or Sell a home with The McLaughlin Group, your satisfaction is paramount. Experience is everything. We have been full time licensed Realtors® for 30 years. Our time tested guidance to our Buyers and Sellers has a proven tract record of superior service, honesty and integrity. Here is what our clients are saying about us.....
"It has taken us a little more time than I thought it would to write you to tell you how pleased we were with your kind and caring service both on the sale of our lake home and the purchase of the Kenco property in Cedar Grove Estates".
"We are having so much fun putting in trees and shrubs and flowers that every daylight moment has been spent in the gardens and indoors we have been decorating like crazy. We just got our new window coverings and they really look great. You know, it truly is an estate with the four acres and we couldn't be more excited! We have both lost about 15 pounds just moving in and gardening and decorating, and shopping, of course, for all the new things to make our house really our home".
"We are so pleased with your representation that it is really hard to put into words our gratitiude. You not only helped us a lot in preparing to sell our lake property but you guided us flawlessly in transacting the deal with Kenco. They were served well by you too. You had a hard row to hoe but carried it off effortlessly and with such great good humor too. I don't see how you deal with the pressure and get everything to turn out so evenly. I thought lawyers had a lot stress but you managed to juggle two clients at once and everybody came out a winner. I know that I may have been somewhat difficult to deal with at times; a bit nervous about selling and buying non-contingent, but it went off seamlessly thanks to you! It is a lot easier for others and advising them, but when one is personally involved it is easy to get emotional at times. You smoothed me out to an even keel and I want you to know I really appreciate that. And you kept saying every thing would work out and it did. Your vast experience in the field really came through as you were able to handle every detail with aplomb. You obviously know just about everyone connected with house repairs,inspections, painting, you name it, who might be needed to spruce up a property or get a job done so that the deals can get done. That took a lot of pressure off me as a busy lawyer who didn't really have time to deal with these types of people nor even know where to find a reliable trade's person".
"We were amazed that our lake house sold so rapidly even though the market generally started turning down about the time we decided to put it on the market. Selling within about two weeks was phenomenal and with a back up offer too! I don't know how you did it - magic? I suspect hard work! It is obvious that your marketing experience came through and paid off handsomely".
"What more can I say. You are my favorite realtor! You are someone we would like to call a friend - beyond your professional persona, you truly care about people and that makes you a real winner in our book. We know that we can count on you to follow through even after the deal is done and you have earned your fee. That is real professionalism. We would use you again and recommend you and will do so at every opportunity".
"If at any time you would like to have a prosepective client call us for a recommendation please do so. We will be happy to talk to anyone you wish".
"I will be writing Kenco a letter too to let them know how pleased we are with the new house and how elated we are with their follow-through on the few reamining items on the house".
"You may feel free to use this letter in any way you see fit your work or as a recommendation for you personally".
Thanks again and I can't wait to have you see what we have done with the gardens. I have reserved a special place for the iris from your garden! Wen I see it blooming, I will always be reminded of you and your kindness. Thanks, again, Jan".
- Sincerely, Richard P. Beaudry- Attorney (Bellevue)
"Whether you plan to buy or sell a home, I have advice to offer you based on direct experience: You can trust Jan McLaughlin. I speak from experience, and I can say this with confidence because four years ago she helped us buy a home. Four days ago, she helped us close the sale on the same house. In both transactions, Jan showed us that she's trustworthy, proficient, and a true professional".
"Our business relationship with Jan began when we relocated from California to Redmond. I got her name off a flyer for a house I thought we might like to see. After a meeting to talk about our interest, she instead took us out to view several different properties. She must have understood us quite well because the first house we looked at ended up being the house we wanted...no, had to have".
"The sellers created a transaction fraught with issues. Jan represented us with conviction, determination, and integrity. Item by item, she blasted through the demands, got the issues settled, and helped close a deal that allowed us to move into our home on our terms. She represented us better thatn we ever could have imagined".
"Then it came time to sell the house because of a job relocation. We immediatley turned to Jan. She helped us prepare the house to sell with some very savvy and keen advice. She marketed the house extremely well, keeping a steady flow of prospective buyers walking through the house. As our luck would have it, we ended up with buyers demanding unrealistic concessions of us. Jan now represented our selling interests with bold determination that preserved our equity. Because of moving demands, it was hard for us to say "no" to some buyers, but her advice not to settle to quickly proved correct. As the false issues brought by the buyers were systematically dismantled by her expertise, we arrived at a financial agreement and closed quickly four days ago".
"So I speak with authority on this matter. Jan McLaughlin is the realtor of choice for your real estate matters. Wether you are buying or selling, she's your agent. Call me. Write me. I'll give you the details. Or just trust someone who has worked with her both as a buyer and seller...you absolutely will not find a better agent to represent you". Sincerely, Marty - VP Communications Kings Schools (Redmond/Carnation)
"With advertisements on Craigslist.com and Micronewsads.com and two "Open House," we were sure we would be able to sell our 1.5 year old Redmond Ridge home by ourselves. Redmond Ridge is such a desirable location and our designer house was practically brand new and built by a reputable builder. Although we had at least 12 inquiries and 6 viewings of our home, at the end of two months we had no offers. We turned to our friend and agent Jan McLaughlin, who we worked with to buy the Redmond Ridge home in July 2004. Only one week after Jan took control of selling our home, we got an offer that we accepted. Jan has repeatedly worked swiftly, tirelessly and professionally with both the buying and selling of our homes. She is extremely experience and caring and made the whole process easy and comfortable for us. We would highly recommend her to anybody and trust Jan for all of our future real estate needs. Jan is the best in the business".

"You are Terrific! With the many years of experience we have has in real estate transactions, I don´t think there is another agent that could have had the intelligence, experience, tenacity, and most of all the patience and empathy for our situation to accomplish all that you did. Your negotiation skills in holding a difficult three-way transaction together through to the end, as well as your reality of the current market conditions shows your knowledge and abilities in the higher-end/waterfront home market". - Our sincerest thanks, Tracie & Brook (Lake Sammamish)
"As it turns out, Jan and Mike sold our home quickly and for an astonishing 99.8% of the list price. Needles to say, we were delighted. In short, we found The McLaughlin Group to be very knowledgeable, personable, enthusiastic and ethical. We can´t say enough good about the job they did for us. Thanks a bunch!" Sincerely, John & Michelle (Bellevue)
"We were amazed that you were able to take us out to see this house the day we called you, and never in our wildest dreams did we thin within a week we´d have a purchase agreement in place and the inspection completed. As we were driving home from the inspection Lane and I were talking about how much we have appreciated your efforts. You make us feel like we´re the only client you have (thought I know that´s not the case), you are readily accessible, and you are making things happen. Thank you!"

"We have been so blessed to have had Janeen as our agent. I feel as though God directed us to your company and to Jan. We have never met a more pleasant, upbeat agent. She is certainly a great representative for your company. We will be happy to send others your way when they need to sell or buy a home". Sincerely, Pastor Claude (Sammamish)
