As first time home buyers, we started our search with little knowledge of the market and what exactly we wanted. We had met several realtors during the initial stages of our search, but did not feel comfortable with their approach to helping us. After reading Zillow reviews we decided to contact Maynard. He was very responsive and flexible throughout the process. He met with us, in some cases at a moment's notice, to look at listings. After viewing several properties (condos, town homes, and houses), Maynard was able to help us narrow down our search. When we discovered the perfect home in Bellevue Maynard quickly guided us through the offer procedures. Upon learning that another buyer's offer had been chosen that same day, Maynard recommended we put in a back up offer. The first buyer's offer fell through, and we ultimately closed on the home. Maynard made the closing process easy and straightforward. He coordinated inspections and negotiated that the seller fix some of the issues that were found. We would highly recommend Maynard to anyone looking to buy a home. Our experience with him was wonderful. He is professional, knowledgeable, patient, and very effective when it comes time to make an offer/close. He takes the time to get to know you personally in order to help you find the perfect home.

Over the last few decades, we have bought and sold homes from small condos. to large single family homes in St. Louis, Chicago and its northern suburbs, Winston-Salem and recently, DC., and have been exposed to many different real estate professionals and market conditions. Maynard is excellent. Professionalism defines him (knowledgeable, insightful, good strategist in negotiation, a problem solver, listens well, very responsive). He worked with us in our purchase in Seattle, an area we knew little about. We looked at single family homes and townhomes in Capitol Hill, Ballard, Maple Leaf and Green Lake. He did a superb job in helping us find exactly the type of property we were looking for and implementing the right negotition strategy for the market. I recommend him very highly. A huge bonus is that he has a good sense of humor and is easy to work with. Less

Stil in process of finding the right property, but we are most impressed with Maynard's professionalism, communication skills, expertise and conmitment to task. Have no experience yet with his negotiation skills but I'm confident that he will but fabulous at that, as well. Couldn't select a better agent-- Intelligent, resourcesful, respectful and on-the-ball!

Maynard assisted me with a short sale of a condominium on First Hill. We started speaking in April of 2012 before I make a decision to go through with this process. He was able to walk me through what to expect, answer all of my questions, assist me with coming to conclusions on choices I needed to make providing Pros and Cons and if, then senarios. He listed my property and within 3 days we had 3 offers. The negotiation process with the bank was very time consuming but Maynard was thorough and expedient with providing information on what was transpiring and keeping me up to date. Anytime I would reach out with a question he would get right back to me. We ran into a situation where the appraiser had overvalued my property. Maynard used his expertise of the Seattle market to provide comps in the area and submitted them to the bank's review committee, which led to the sale going through. He also worked very well with the buyer's agent which in turn resulted in the buyers being patient enough to wait this approval process out for 6 months. Maynard has tremendous knowledge not just in the real estate market but he is also a CPA. I would highly recommend him to my closest friends and family. He made this process as stress free as possible. Less

Maynard recently helped us locate and purchase our new home in Newcastle, WA. He has great knowledge about the Seattle area/east side Bellevue area real estate market. Maynard is very patient, never pushy, and is willing to put in the time to help you find a great home. I was impressed with his professionalism as well as his ability to assist with making the tough decisions that come along with such a big purchase. Maynard is very laid back and easy to work with yet is not afraid to be aggressive and go to bat for you when it is time to negotiate for price and concessions. Maynard is also very knowledgable about the mortgage industry and has great contacts that can help you secure an ideal loan for your purchase. I highly recommend choosing Maynard as your agent, you will not be disappointed! Less

Maynard is one of the most profressional and responsive agents I have ever worked with. He has a great understanding of the short sale process,enabling him to achieve the critical milestones quickly and effeciently. After my first meeting with Maynard I had no reservations of trusting him completely to drive the process. From his connection to the professional photographer which helped drive huge volumes of traffic through the house, to interacting with the banks and attorneys Maynard does it all. Would recommend Maynard anytime, if circumstances require a short sale or not! Less

Maynard did a fantastic job as the listing agent for my Belltown condo. He suggested a listing price 15K higher than either of the other two agents I interviewed the same week. Maynard got the condo staged beautifully and then got some great photos taken. We went on the market and had four offers by the next day. Even after the first two offers came in Maynard kept working to get more and bid the price up. We ended up getting a price 20K above listing and 35K above what other agents had suggesting listing at. Maynard continued to do a great job keeping things on track throughout the closing even when the buyer had a bit of trouble with financing. We ended up closing only about a month and a half after the first time I met Maynard. Maynard was confident and had great communication throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend him.

Due to my urgent request, we settled on an offer in less then two weeks. Didn't get my dream home in the hot Seattle downtown/Belltown market. But Had great time working with Maynard. Very responsive and professional.

All I really need to say is that from the time we decided to sell the house to close, it only took 1.5 months - 31 days from listing to close and we got 99% of listing price. Beyond that though, Maynard did a fantastic job all the way through the process. He recomended the correct listing price (which was crucial) and then built a marketing program around that which included brining in a team of service providers (photography, etc.). Once we were contracted, he managed our expectations through inspection and effectively negotiated the final close. Very happy with the outcome. Less

Maynard listed and sold a condo for us in Lower Queen Anne. He provided excellent tips on making the unit look more presentable to potential buyers, found someone to stage the unit at a very reasonable price, and was extremely support throughout the entire short sale process. Not only did we received an offer the first weekend the unit was on the market, but Maynard provided us regular updates and also tips on being proactive to ensure the closing processes went smoothly. Maynard was extremely knowledgeable about the market and we will definitely be using Maynard again for future hope purchases and sales! Less

Maynard helped me find my dream condo in Lower Queen Anne in the spring of 2012. We began with setting the geographic boundary for the search and discussing the price range and property type. Over the course of the next two months Maynard was constantly checking in with new options and visiting the properties with me. He was very responsive and knew the Seattle market very well. In the end he helped me getting a sweet deal on a foreclosed property. His knowledge of the short sale and foreclosure process allowed me to submit the optimal bid. He also was very helpful with making sure we close on time. Less

Maynard has helped us with multiple property transactions now, and we have been very pleased with the results. We will use him again in the future, and recommend him to friends and anyone looking for a great Seattle agent.

My wife and I were referred to Maynard by a friend of ours that had a good experience in a recent home sale through him. Selling our home appeared at first to be a tricky process but with Maynard's expertise, it seemed like a breeze. The combination of a calm demeanor and thorough knowledge in all chapters of the home sale was a one-two punch for us and I truly believe that the entire process went as smoothly as it could have. We will not only be using him again in the future ourselves but will also refer Maynard out to our friends and family as often as possible. Thanks Maynard! Carl and Katie Less

As first-time homebuyers, it was great to have an agent who knew the process and took the time to patiently guide us through it, and who got to know us and showed us a wide range of homes as we narrowed down what we wanted and finally found the right property. Maynard offered valuable advice from beginning to end and was a cool head even when things got difficult and were held up at the end as we went back and forth with the lender. Our process started by slowly and unhurriedly seeing what was out there, and then suddenly picked up when we found the right home and tried to close and move in as quickly as possible, and Maynard kept his cool and was responsive and helpful throughout. We recommend him to anyone who will listen. Less

There are key points to my experience with Maynard that I would like to highlight. Communication: Maynard was very direct and precise in his communications. He was very focused on the issues and questions I was asking. We didn't have excessive communications. I felt that he was very receptive to my style of communicating and easily adapted making all of our transmissions efficient and successful. He was very proficient in utilizing multiple means of communication. Pace: Maynard was very effective at keeping and matching the pace at which I wanted the experience to take place. He was responsive when I was showing a lack of interest and quickly moved on to other inventory. He was also very patient when I needed time to revisit properties we had seen. I felt in control of the content and speed of the previews. Expertise: Maynard was very skilled at quickly assessing the statistical values of properties on the go. He was very good at teaching me methods of comparison and evaluation. Closer: At the end of the process when there where multiple parties involved and deadlines on the table. Maynard was able to focus other members of the team and hold them accountable, when I was a little apprehensive. It was nice to have some muscle on my side. Maynard has changed my entire perception of real estate agents. He has studied, prepared, and preformed the job with a high level of professionalism while remaining a real person. Less

I just purchased a house in Seattle and was very grateful to have the benefit of Maynard guiding me through the process. My family is currently living in Shanghai, China, and needed to buy a home in anticipation of returning to the United States. Trying to find the "right" home and close the transaction from overseas raises very obvious logistical challenges, but I was truly impressed with Maynard's professionalism and ability to make the process as painless as possible. We visited Seattle several times during the last year to try to identify a house, and Maynard always seemed able to clear his schedule to make time for us. Although my wife and I had very different objectives, he was patient throughout the process and made a clear attempt to understand our joint goals when identifying potential properties. However, I am most grateful for Maynard's efficiency. He was very good about communicating timelines and making sure that we kept the closing process on track once we had found a house. He seemed to have a wide range of contacts in terms of banks, appraisers and other professional service providers and was able to connect us up on a timely basis as appropriate. He also kept a good relationship with the Seller's broker and was able to anticipate and quickly smooth out hiccups over the course of the closing process. Bottom-line: I would be more than happy to have an opportunity to work with Maynard again in the future and have suggested to a number of our friends that they consider talking to him. Less

Maynard is the best agent I have ever met. His emails are amazingly thorough and punctual. He walks you through every step of the process and is very professional. What I appreciate the most about him is his honesty. He puts himself in your shoes as if he was the buyer and tells you if he thinks something is worth it or not. He gives you information about things that you don't even know you need but is extremely useful. I feel that he always has your best interest in mind and takes his time to develop that trust. I would highly recommend him to my friends and anyone else who is in need of a good agent. Less

Recently, I found myself in a situation where I was under water in my house and was looking to sell the property and did not know what I was going to do or what my options were. I was extremely stressed out, but that was before I discussed my situation with Maynard. Maynard has the expertise and industry knowledge that completely put my stress at ease and walked me through the process. He clearly articulated what my options were, addressed my concerns and took over everything (bank, lenders, inspections, appraisals, etc). He partnered with me throughout the entire process, was extremely communicative and helped me sell my home successfully. I cannot thank Maynard enough for his professionalism and honesty throughout my short sale process and explaining everything along the way. I highly recommend Maynard for your real estate needs.

Maynard is great to work with at many fronts. He is: * Thorough * Punctual * Very transparent in his process and opinions * Professional on all aspects * Great at negotiation, and willing to walk away from a deal if it's not the right deal Throughout the whole home buying process, I felt like I could count on Maynard every step of the way. I wanted to be semi hands-off in this process so I did not have to take much of my work/personal time, and I was able to do this because I could trust Maynard in running with the whole deal.

I had an issue with my previous Agent when I was trying to sell my condo and happened to run into Maynard by accident and we got to talking and he told be he was an Agent as well. So, I decided since my last Agent didn't really do much to list or even try to sell my condo, I might as well switch. It was the best decision I made. Maynard lead me through the whole selling process like a pro! He answered all my questions, even the ones I didn't know to ask, and made it less stressful. I know in this economy how difficult it is to sell a home/condo, and I have to admit I was discourage along the way, but Maynard kept in constant contact with me and made sure I was informed at every change and definitely kept my spirits up.

Our experience with Maynard has been great. I really appreciate his knowledge, patience and follow-through. I would recommend him to anyone of my friends or family!

My wife and I have found Maynard to be the consummate professional in the Real Estate Industry. His first hand and intimate knowledge of the inter-workings of the banking industry are a plus. In addition, his education serves as a solid foundation. A foundation that places him head and shoulders above his competition. We would highly recommend Maynard to anyone that has an interest in purchasing any type of real estate.

When I first approached Maynard about helping me buy a house, I forwarded him a link to a distressed property I was interested in. He was able to ascertain very quickly what troubles were ahead with that particular house and found us a list of other homes that were good deals. We ended up going for a house in bankruptcy. The onslaught of paperwork, court filings, rules and regulations surrounding the deal was staggering, but Maynard really understood the process and handled it all amazingly well. There really was almost no work on our part until we signed closing documents. Maynard also was a great negotiator. He analyzed prices in our neighborhood and the bid acceptance history of the bank to figure out what probably was the lowest price the bank was willing to accept and then worked through the counter offer. In the end we got an amazing price. We refinanced our home 60 days after closing and it appraised over $100k more than our purchase price! Less

Maynard did a fantastic job selling our home. We had to deal with bank negotiations and a tough inspection and Maynard always kept a positive attitude and was great with dealing with the bank negotiaters. I would suggest anyone who needs help with the short sale process to talk to Maynard. His expertise, experience and honesty can't be beat!

Maynard Wagner is AWESOME. He just helped my husband and me to buy a home that had been involved in a bankruptcy. The process had the potential to be quite harrowing and stressful because it was so complicated, but Maynard made it easy. We would highly recommend him to anyone considering buying or selling a home. He's incredibly knowledgeable, and he's a total pro!

I can't express how thankful I am that Maynard Wagner was recommended to me as a buyer's agent for my first purchase as a newly single woman. Buying a home can be a stressful and somewhat scary undertaking. I had been putting it off for years, but with the real estate market being what it is at this time, I knew that I shouldn't wait any longer. Maynard made the whole process seem effortless. He was so patient with all of my requests, questions and concerns and truly went above and well beyond any of my expectations. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and never once did I feel pressured into anything. I am so impressed by his professionalism and kindness that I am actually writing a review! Maynard "had my back", so to speak, and through every step in the process I felt confident that I was being well taken care of.

Mr. Wagner is very honest, sincere and helpful real estate agent. He helped us to buy our dream home in August 2010. He made the whole process very easy, convenient, and simple. His professionalism is beyond expectation. He is a man of his word. I and my wife are so impressed that we are referring his name to our friends. Thank you, Nadeem Ismail Maryam Iqbal

Maynard is very professional and punctual. He is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He helped me close two properties, which one was a short sale and kept me informed through the whole process.

Maynard is very responsive and knowledgable about various aspects of home buying. He had many useful recommendations for related services (e.g., inspections, mortgage, insurance, moving, etc) and even set up all of my appointments and movers. I appreciated his calm, no-pressure demeanor, which was helpful during stressful times. I highly recommend his services, especially for first-time buyers who require a lot of support.

Maynard was referred to me by a close friend who worked with him previously. I have worked with real estate agents in the past who put forth minimal effort to make sure my transactions went smoothly. Maynard however, exceeded my expectations and quickly earned my trust. He became a true partner, explaining each process, immediately responding to every request, and displaying a calm determination to overcome any obstacles.
