Thomas &
We just came back from another wonderful weekend stay at our cabin.
Cynthia and Chris Wolfe, Buyers Kim Burnett., Buyer & Appraiser 33 acre equestrian property - Enumclaw
I presented you with the extremely difficult prospect of finding an equestrian acreage tract, within a specific location, with specific site and housing features in a tight market. Through your exhaustive research you managed to track down an unlisted property which was perfect. You were able to impress upon skeptical foreign owners the sincerity of our offer and the markets time sensitivity. Your diligent efforts in tracking down the appropriate agriculture documentation, farm leases, site inspections, etc resulted in a closing of less than four weeks. Throughout the process you remained pragmatic and cheerful; which was quite a feat considering the government agencies, property managers, foreign embassies, translators and assorted personalities you had to deal with! So Phyllis, I wanted to sincerely thank you for your Herculean efforts to locate and negotiate a property for me.
Sandy Wright, Seller Silver Skis Chalet Condominium,
On behalf of the Wright and Campbell family - what can I say! After 40+ years of association with you at
Thank you!

"Phyllis is an exceptional realtor. She has tremendous knowledge of the local market and is very attentive to all the details. We were immediately confident that we were in good hands! This was a big deal for us. Buying a vacation property is a significant investment and we needed to work with someone we could trust. We enjoyed working with Phyllis so much that we have already recommended her to our friends. Thank you Phyllis for making this an easy decision and a smooth process." Ian Crosby and Aurora Bearse, Buyers - “I doubt we would have ever found our perfect vacation home without Phyllis. When the right place came on the market, she made sure we were the first in the door. When other offers came in, she sold us to the sellers and made sure ours was the one that go taccepted. After the sale, she made us feel welcome and helped us get to know the neighbors and the neighborhood. Nobody knows the area and the people who live there like Phyllis. We are so grateful that she is our realtor, our neighbor, and our friend.” Gold Hills Home - .jpg)
I wanted to thank you for all of your help over the past few months. Eric and I had many fun years over the last decade at our cabin. I'm so grateful that our experience towards the end, i.e. selling the cabin, was such a breeze. That was thanks in total to your experience "on the hill". I know well that sometimes, selling a property can turn into a huge headache. It really means a lot to us that our experience at Gold Hills ended on a great note. I very much look forward to doing business with you again, and have enjoyed your support and friendship. Best Regards,
“We couldn’t be more pleased! Our cabin search introduced the added complexity of two families in partnership, with constantly changing needs and desires. Phyllis made our property search both enjoyable and productive, handling everything we threw at her with a smile. We appreciated her professionalism and in depth knowledge of the entire area. We developed a level of trust with Phyllis that made the purchase easy. We have made numerous referrals of our friends to Phyllis, and will continue to do so, we would not consider any other source if in the market for a cabin in the Greenwater/Crystal area . The cabin is fabulous, our kids are loving it!” Brian Allen & Tom Easton

“When Mary and I decided to buy a cabin in Crystal River Ranch, we were fortunate to have Phyllis represent us. She listened to our needs and found just the right cabin for our family. We found Phyllis to be thorough, and her attention to detail was remarkable. She responded to our questions promptly and the sale went through without a hitch. W e would recommend Phyllis without hesitation – she will use her extensive knowledge to find the right property for you too!” Ed and Mary Godwin-Austen Buyers Phyllis is awesome and we would highly recommend her! She has been a family acquaintance for 30+ years, however, we didn’t get the chance to really know her until we decided we wanted to purchase a mountain cabin. She spent the time to understand what we wanted and then to work finding us the perfect place. Phyllis’ 30 years of experience in the real estate business as well as her knowledge of the market surrounding
Louie and Mary Almonte – Buyers
We were not sure whether we wanted to buy a house or a lot on which to build. Phyllis showed and explained to us many options which made our decision making much easier. Kimberly Horn and Ilmar Reinvald
We were delighted with her personal care from beginning to end, and even beyond the sale of our property. Phyllis always took the time to answer any questions and solve any problems both for us and the buyers as well. We would, without hesitation, recommend Phyllis Hartford as the best choice of realtor to help anyone sell or purchase their home. Bob & Maytie Leinweber (sellers)
For Phyllis, the work didn't end with a signed agreement. She looked after our interests throughout the entire process - from inspection through to repairs. She even introduced us to our new neighbors. Our family has bought many homes throughout the years but nobody has ever worked harder and been more pleasant to work with than Phyllis Hartford. She patiently worked with us to find just the right property. From start to finish, she was pro-active, prepared, and a true advocate of our family.

I commend Phyllis Hartford for her efforts in selling our USFS cabin in the Dalles recreation area. She did a superior job of expeditiously showing the cabin to prospective clients, satisfying their inquiries, and closing the sale at a reasonable price. Phyllis assisted in arranging the transfer of the USFS Permit and providing a law firm to handle escrow details and recording the deed. Everything went very smoothly and required little effort on my part. I would recommend Phyllis highly for any real estate transcations.

We were so impressed...she found us the home of our dreams... Phyllis Hartford helped us buy a vacation home in Crystal River Ranch. We were so impressed by her knowledge, efficiency and thoroughness, we asked her to find us a permanent residence In Port Townsend and sell our condo in Gig Harbor. Even though she was not familiar with the area, Phyllis still found us the home of our dreams and successfully navigated a bidding war while winning respect from the seller's agent. Thomas & Joanne Loehr (sellers and buyers)

Phyllis Hartford is a true professional. Her winning combination of personalized service and unsurpassed knowledge of the local real estate market made her a great asset in the acquisition of our family's vacation home.
She consistently exceeded our high expectations
and was truly a joy to work with! Curt & Kate Simonson (buyers)
I just wanted to drop you a line to express my thanks for the help you provided in selling our cabin. Your market analysis was right on the money and helped us determine if this was the right time to sell. I especially appreciated your contacts with local tradesmen that were able to handle some of the nitty-gritty stuff that I didn't want to be involved in. I wish my local agents in Bellevue could handle things like you. Anyhow, you made it very easy to sell our place and get the right price for it. Thank you Phyllis! Kent Howard (seller)
