Dave was great! I got exactly the house I was looking for in Forster Woods. The price was fair and Dave was able to rebate a significant amount of my closing costs.

Thanks!

Dear David,

Sorry that it has taken soon long to write this, but with trying to get settled in the new place, plus with the remodeling that we are beginning, have been pretty busy.

This was a great selling and buying experience for us. We have bought and sold other homes in the past, but the service that you and your company provided was by far the best. You were always keeping us informed of what was happening, changes that came up, correspondence from the other buyers/sellers (whichever the case was).

You made this a very enjoyable moment for us.

Thank you for your outstanding service.

Dave,

I just had to write to tell you how much our daughter and son-in-law are enjoying their new home. Margaret also has been staying there to baby sit off and on until the end of September. She has told me that she is thoroughly enjoying her stay. New deck furniture was delivered this week. It finally stopped raining yesterday giving them a chance to enjoy dinner outdoors.

I’ve been involved in many real estate transactions both professionally and personally. I have never had such a comfortable, open and delightful experience with the realtor who sat on the other side of the table from me. Thank you so much for your integrity, efficiency and professionalism. You are a refreshing oasis in what can be a harsh real estate desert. Margaret and I would be happy to be outstanding references for you if you ever need or want us to be. Just let us know.

We wish you much success, prosperity and good health. Have a nice day!

Caroline,

We really want to thank you for your outstanding efforts on our behalf even though we decided to stay in Georgia. Without a doubt, you provided the best service and follow-through of any real estate professional that we have used in all of our corporate moves. We particularly appreciated the following:

Research on finding Trilogy, which suited our needs.
The weekly updates
Personally checking on new lots and construction progress.
Confidence in our ability to negotiate with the sellers.

It was certainly a pleasure to work with you, you had our trust and we hope to keep in touch. If we ever come back to the Seattle area, we would definitely utilize your services again and would be pleased to recommend your services to anyone.

You have to work with Cook Real Estate. They are the best in the valley. We recently bought and sold homes with Cook Real Estate and we were overwhelmed by the professionalism and dedication to detail exhibited by all of the staff we met.

When I first met with them and discussed our plans for our future home, they took it to task and was wonderful to work with. They made the whole experience manageable and I don't think a better result would have been possible. They are truly extraordinary. I can't say enough good about Cook Real Estate. I already have referred clients to them and I will be talking about Cook Real Estate for a long time to come.

David,

We were very pleased with all the help you gave us buying a new house & selling our old house. We saved $14,560 by going through Cook Real Estate.

We would recommend you. You were always responsive, professional, and patient. From the offer all the way through closing we knew you were right there to help.

Hi Dave,

We really appreciate all of your help looking at houses. You have experience and knowledge that is way above the average realtor, and we've enjoyed working with you. Thank you so much for all of your time and effort.

Dave,

It was a real pleasure working with you when we bought when we bought our Si View home in North Bend. The transaction couldn't have gone smoother. Your responsiveness, honesty, and overall professionalism was very much appreciated. Your low-key, down-to-earth attitude was a breath of fresh air compared to many other agents/realtors we've dealt with. And of course it's a pleasure working with someone who lives in and is committed to our own community.

We look forward to seeing you around town!

Dear Dave,

It has been a pleasure to have such a sincere and reliable real estate agent work with us on the sale of our property. Your professionalism and integrity ensured a successful transaction. It was wonderful to have several full-price offers on the day the property was listed. With your excellent and knowledgeable service, you are the pacesetter in local real estate!

We look forward to working with you again.

David,

Thank you for your excellent service as the listing broker during the purchase of property in the North Bend area. Your attention to detail and focus on the project resulted in a flawless transaction with no "surprises". You made me feel like I was your only customer throughout the transaction. As a buyer, your assistance in researching and compiling information about the prospective property was essential to a successful purchase. I look forward to working with you in the future.

Dear David,

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude for the amazing service you provided when selling my property in Snoqualmie. This transaction was very emotional for me and your professionalism, knowledge and kindness all went way beyond any previous experience I've had in any real estate transaction. Your ability to work with the attorneys, King County officials, and parties involved in this difficult transaction was just the best! I appreciated that you always had time for me, my questions, keeping me informed each step of the way and explaining each new development. You even went as far as securing a helicopter tour of the properly and the Snoqualmie Valley which certainly helped sell that property!

Closing this transaction in 3 months was no less than a miracle. Having been in the escrow business for over 20 years I know what it took for you to accomplish that. Without your knowledge and willingness to do whatever it took, this transaction would never have closed!

I am now the walking advertisement for Cook Real Estate Services!! I gladly recommend you every chance I get. You are indeed the best!

Diane and I would like to express our appreciation for your efforts in helping us to complete the purchase of the acreage in Snoqualmie on which we plan to build our home. It was a complicated transaction involving several uncertainties which needed to be resolved during escrow. Not least among these were questions raised during our architect's consultations with King County representatives to establish the feasibility of building at our preferred location. Your knowledge of the property's history and local conditions were invaluable in helping them to complete an enormous amount of work in a very short time.

We particularly appreciate your arranging for Diane and me to inspect the lot from above by helicopter. It was about the only way that we could visualize the property's topography and identify a location which we and our architects believe will become a spectacular home site. I should also not fail to mention that you enabled us to realize a substantial savings on the purchase price.

We plan to seek your assistance in finding a temporary residence in the area during the permitting and building process, and look forward to working with you again on that project.

David,
I wanted to take the time to "Thank You" for your help in selling my townhome. The work that we had done on the commercial side through Frankie's Pizza was a great experience for me. When we sat down for the two leases of the stores, the way that you handled the transactions with the landlords and their agents was fantastic. You thought of things that I could never have imagined. Your attention to detail on those dealings really caught my eye.

So, when it came time to sell my townhome, I didn't even hesitate to call upon you. And again I was surprised you had a complete list of people for me to deal with, from the company to clean my carpets to the guys to service the furnace. You were so prepared to make it an easy transaction. As good as you were in all of our other dealings, however, I was certainly surprised when you sold my house in
20 MINUTES!

Now that it is time for me to buy, there is, of course, only one person
to call...Dave Cook!

David-
My husband and I are extremely pleased with your services in selling our Forster Woods home. We were thrilled that you had a full price offer within 1 week. We were very impressed with your professionalism and thrilled that you kept your word on everything you stated you would do, AND went above and beyond in your service.

We had no idea that we would get better service with a discount realtor. Your service and attention to detail went above and beyond other realtors we have worked with in the past that charged more commission. Please thank your staff and yourself for making the stressful situation of selling our home, as stress-free as it could be, and for making a smooth transition for both parties. Take care and keep up the good work!

David, Thank you for your professionalism in the sale of my home. Your analysis of the market was right on target and my house sold in one day at full price. Out of the three houses that I have sold, this was by far the easiest and smoothest transaction. Thank you also for the commission discount you gave me as a Si-View homeowner.

I wish you continued success with Cook Real Estate Services, LLC.

We would like to extend our sincerest appreciation to David Cook of Cook Real Estate Services in North Bend.

When we decided to sell our home, we first went to a bigger, well-known real estate company and had our home market-appraised. After hearing about David's company, we had him work-up a second opinion of value.

To our surprise, David's estimate was $40,000 higher. Although skeptical, we listed our home for sale with Cook and within 26 days, received an offer for exactly the amount David had correctly predicted. We not only had $40,000 extra at closing, but we saved an additional $3,000 in discounted commissions and closing costs.

David provided great service and we appreciated having an agent that was looking out for our best interest.

Thank you David for helping out with the lease. I truly did not know all of the ropes and you walked me through it step by step explaining clearly when I had concerns and/or questions. The paperwork for the lease was very thorough, and I feel secure about that. Thank you also for being prompt when we met to sign papers, and friendly. If I ever have to do any transactions that need your service, I would definitely choose you again.

Selling your home of twenty-plus years and moving from a great little community like North Bend can be very traumatic! I am pleased that I chose a real professional to make the process much easier. David Cook handled the listing and sale of my home in a very professional manner. Despite having to basically sell the home two times because the first sale failed, we still closed the house sale within four months of the original listing. Good advice, attention to detail and excellent negotiating skills made the sale sail smoothly along. Thanks Dave for making this difficult job of selling and moving a positive experience!

Dave Cook has been excellent in keeping me informed on real estate opportunities in the Snoqualmie Valley. Although we have not yet been able to get an offer to closing; he has always been professional, upfront, and accessible. I will continue to us his real estate services on my future real estate transactions here in the valley.

Dear Dave,
We have our store up and running right on schedule. What you did to expedite our lease was exactly what we needed.

Your knowledge of the local market was priceless, considering how it increased our confidence in selecting our site and closing our deal.

Thanks for your great service!

I had been searching for a specific retail location for over a year. In that time I had talked to several commercial realtors. All of them had their own location they tried to push me to lease, even though I had no interest in it. It was like they all had an agenda I was not aware of. They didn't listen.

Then I met Dave Cook. He asked what type of retail operation I envisioned, what my concerns were such as plenty of parking and an affordable lease rate. We found a place and he was tenacious until we signed a lease I was comfortable with. I would recommend Dave for any commercial real estate need. When I bust out of my current location square footage, I will be looking him up for sure!

It was a true pleasure working with Dave. I was starting a new venture by opening my own retail store and a fellow entrepreneur recommended that I contact Dave. Dave made the very daunting task of locating & securing a location go very smooth.

Because this was the first commercial lease for both me & my husband we had many questions for Dave. He was very patient with us & very knowledgeably guided us through every step. He dealt directly with the leasing agent to secure a very impressive LOI (Letter of Intent). The final lease negotiations truly benefited from this initial LOI. I would highly recommend his services & plan to use him in the future for both personal & business property transactions.

Dave handled my commercial lease with discretion and professionalism. He took care with every detail and overlooked nothing! If I ever move again I'll call Dave first!

David was simply a pleasure to work with on finding a location for our venture. He offered several possibilities to look at and pointed out the pros and cons of each. The other aspect I most appreciate is the level of community support he has been able to engage. Very professional, very supportive, and ultimately thorough and patient in the entire process.

I will always use David in any future real estate transactions.

David thank you.

I listed my commercial building with Dave and he had a new tenant signed prior to expiration of the existing lease. He knows the markets he serves. Also, Dave added several riders to the lease which increased my level of personal protection.

I would recommend Dave to anyone and everyone needing commercial real estate services of any kind. He negotiated an incredible price for the commercial space Illuminatus Yoga now calls home and I look forward to his help finding residential space one day. Prompt, courteous, and professional, he always keeps his client’s needs in focus. He has a wide network of contacts in real estate and related industries and his lease agreement knowledge is on par with that of a real estate lawyer. Thank you, Dave!

Dave, I would just like to say "thank you" for your help in negotiating our business lease. It felt good to go into a situation where we had little experience and feel empowered by your knowledge and professionalism.

I have benefited from your service. Your advice and suggestions as to how to improve and show the property were very helpful. Your research and counsel on issues such as the square footage of the building and the current market value of the property was important to me. Your diligence and attention to detail in securing the signatures on the lease are greatly appreciated.

I look forward to a long personal and professional relationship.

I would recommend Dave Cook to anyone planning to sell or lease their home or commercial property. Dave knows this market and is very professional in all his dealings. Dave, most recently, listed our home and sold it before we could get the signs out. Sharon and I look forward to using Dave Cook Realty in any future real-estate transaction.

This season offers an excellent opportunity to give thanks to special people. So, Dorothy and I want to thank you for all that you do for us. This has been the best property management we have experienced - not to mention the wonderful goodies from Lisa's kitchen.
