Sold for 11% ABOVE list price – “Wowed” by the results!
The first word that come to mind when I think of our experience with Tony is integrity. My husband and I have tended not to trust real estate agents. But Tony is professional, ethical, honest and an expert negotiator. He seems to love that part of the job and it shows. In addition, he is very experienced, detail-oriented, calm and an excellent photographer.
My advice would be to hire Tony as soon as you have made the decision to sell your home at some point. Then ask for his advice, and take it!

SOLD for 4.6% above list price! Job relocation and the desire to be closer to family prompts sale of home in Olde Morrison Place
If you’re thinking of selling your home in the English Hill area, Tony Meier is the first person you should meet with. As you then meet with other brokers, you’ll quickly realize that no one is as in-touch with the English Hill real estate market as Tony is. Tony recently guided us through the sale of our home and we couldn’t be more pleased. Tony’s thorough knowledge of the English Hill real estate market helped him to recommend the optimal listing price. Sure, other brokers might have recommended a higher listing price, but Tony priced the house at a fair price that attracted a lot of interest and multiple offers. Ultimately, our house sold for $30K over the listing price and at a time of year when the market was beginning to slow for the summer. We have friends who also sold their English Hill home recently. They decided to go with another broker who recommended a top-dollar listing price. The property had very little action until they lowered the asking price to a level very close to what Tony had recommended, after which the house sold. The point is, no one knows the English Hill market better than Tony and he will get you results that you’ll be pleased with.
In addition, Tony’s help through the entire process was invaluable. He helped us to identify what changes needed to be made to ready the home for sale. He was available to meet with us any time we had questions. He even accompanied my wife to a cabinet store in Tukwila to check out some cabinets and counter tops. His recommendations were invaluable. When we were ready to list, Tony prepared marketing materials (photos, videos, flyers, etc.) that presented the home in its best light. He held a neighborhood open house the first Saturday after the home went on the market. As a result of his efforts, offers began pouring in. Tony kept us informed every step of the way. In less than a week, we were meeting with him to review the multiple offers received. Again, Tony’s knowledge and experience were invaluable in reviewing the offers and selecting the winning bid. Tony’s work didn’t stop after offer acceptance. Instead, he shepherded the sale through closing, keeping us informed at every step.
As stated earlier, we couldn’t be more pleased with the results that Tony achieved. We were moving out of state (in fact, I had already started a new job) so it was important that we complete our sale as quickly as possible. No one likes to pay a $40K commission, but Tony really earns his commission! I’m confident that if we had tried to sell the home ourselves or listed with a discount broker, we would not have achieved the results that Tony delivered. Thank you, Tony!

Sold in the Cottage Lake area of Woodinville for 14% OVER List Price!
Tony came highly recommended by a neighbor and co-worker, and with good reason. His overall performance as a listing agent was excellent and he was very easy to work with. Both referrals had used Tony for multiple transactions.
– It’s often expected an agent will provide a list of things to do to make a place more marketable. Tony did this thoughtfully, offering suggestions on things that would help as well as things that weren’t necessary. It was all based on priorities to help us choose what we were willing and able to do. I felt he was working with us like we were a neighbor rather than just trying to make his job easier for a quick sale.
– Communication was excellent. Tony always kept us in the loop on all stages of the process, was readily available, and was always prompt with a reply to an email or returning a phone call. I also appreciated his candidness, and when he said he would do something, he did it promptly.
– The web presentation of the house was very well done, and with broad advertising brought in a number of good offers and bidding competition. Tony understood the market dynamics and applied a strategy that resulted in a quick sell and at a price well above what we expected. It was a strong seller’s market at the time but he knew how to take advantage of it. And when it came to negotiating with the buyer’s agents, I felt Tony did an excellent job of representing our interests. He also was extremely helpful in vetting the buyers to help select the offer that had a high probability of closing without problems or delays. The whole process went very smoothly.
– One last thing I appreciated with Tony was his overall professionalism. He would explain things well, offer recommendations and discuss trade-offs, but would let us make the decisions.
I would not hesitate to hire Tony again as a buyer or a seller.

Sold 4% above the list price! Job relocation prompts the sale of repeat clients’ home in Bothell
Suji & I were extremely satisfied with your level of service. We are repeat clients remember! And for good reason.
Right from the start you gave us a good feel for the market. You obviously know it well! This helped us develop the right strategy for the sale. Your idea of getting a pre-inspection done was the best – saving us a lot of effort (post sale). We are also very appreciative of your helping us get the right professionals to spruce up the home pre-sale. Ultimately your professionalism throughout the process, and your excellent negotiations skills made it a totally smooth & successful outcome for us. Thank you!

The desire to be near family prompts sale of home in “The Pointe” in Redmond
I have not been involved with a house sale of this type in the past but the processes Tony Meier had in place provided an environment that exceeded my expectations.
At my first meeting with Tony he explained his role in the sale process and the current market condition. Two items were important to me 1) a quick sale and 2) once a price was given to the public it would not be lowered. To support these two issues he provided advice on how the house and yard could be presented more attractively to prospective buyers while being realistic about my costs.
We agreed on a listing date and he proceeded to put together a professional quality video of the interior and exterior of the house which I believe had a significant impact on the quick selling of my home. Through this entire time he kept me fully up to date on his commitments and checked to make sure I was following up on mine.
The house was listed on a Thursday and firm bid was received over the weekend that exceed the listing price.
Papers were signed and the final payoff date was met. Any activity of this type causes the seller to be a little jumpy but Tony with his communication skills kept the jumps to a minimum. I selected Tony based my first meeting with him and the recommendation of my neighbor: Tony sold their house in two days and also exceed the offering price.
When your turn comes to sell your house talk with the people he represented and then have a personal discussion with him. I believe your experience with Tony will be as mine was – a quality, professional and enthusiastic sale process. Good Luck.
