TESTIMONIALS

Read what our clients say about working with April.

Thomas W.

I have been building and remodeling for the past 45 years. I have dealt with many realtors, and like most things, there have been good ones and not so good ones. One of the failings of the lesser realtors is not accepting and understanding the needs of the client. Too many want to dictate what a person should buy, or how their home must look prior to selling. Then, in looking for the place I wanted to retire my wife had a list of about 15 requirements for what she wanted. Quite literally I had looked at properties in eight states trying to meet her list of necessary items. I had all but given up. I happened to contact April, and although I didn’t have a formal agreement to use her as my realtor, with her very hands-on approach and her endless research trying to find the perfect property I knew I was going to use her for the purchase That is if I ever found something. Took me four years total, and one year working with April, but we finally came across one that likely hit 12 or 13 of my wife’s requirements. There was a good little bit of negotiating that April was a part of, and we very nearly were outbid by out-of-state purchasers. In the end we got the house and April has stayed in contact since, checking up on things. I do know the real estate profession and April is definitely a five-star agent. She made videos for me and sent me technical information on properties. April did everything I asked of her and I am very grateful, and quite easily can recommend her.

April Jeong-Callies is the realtor you want in your corner! My family began searching for a home in the Puget Sound area while local home sales prices were shooting through the roof and homes were going for thousands (and even millions!) over their list prices. While we were very excited to find our dream home, April did not let us get carried away and make a purely emotional decision to purchase a home for a price that would not be sustainable in the long term. In addition to keeping us grounded and methodical in our search, April helped to show us the pros and cons of various homes and neighborhoods we considered. In the end, through April’s carefully crafted strategy, we were able to purchase the home of our dreams on Bainbridge Island. April helped us put together an offer that left both us and the sellers in the win-win that is ideal in any transaction. In addition to her strategic acumen, April was also incredibly responsive and service-focused and did video walkthroughs of several homes on short notice so that we could get a good feel for the homes and neighborhoods from far away (there was no time to view the homes before placing an offer). I highly recommend April!

We worked with April Jeong-Callies to buy a place on Harstine Island in the summer of 2020 and she was the absolute best. Within a couple days of contacting her, she had setup a whole itinerary for us to view 10+ houses that we were interested in that Saturday. She was incredibly knowledgeable about every location, taught us a lot about the peculiarities of various WA waterfront regulations, and gave us really good advice throughout the process. She helped us find a great property and get an offer accepted without ever being pushy. Once we had a contract, she remained incredibly dedicated to helping us, meeting us for the inspections, putting us in touch with a great mortgage agent to get a better deal, and helping to coordinate septic repairs and inspections. On several occasions she drove hours out of her way to check in on fixes to the property to make sure we’d be happy with everything. It’s been 3 years since we bought the house with April’s help and there are zero regrets. She will no doubt be our first choice for our next purchase or sale, too. I really can’t recommend April highly enough!

April was truly outstanding from our initial contact through viewing multiple listings until our current purchase was completed. She is very knowledgeable, always responds timely on all contacts, and worked so well helping us negotiate a reasonable offer that was accepted by the seller. Throughout the several months that we met with April to look at properties, we got to know her very well. Completely honest and ethical, she always gave us well founded research, findings, and recommendations. Her goal was to get the right property at the lowest, but fair, purchase price. At no time did she try to keep the asking price or an amount close thereto, rather her first motivation was to represent us and fight for an offer amount that was reasonable and fair for both seller and purchaser. A must go to if you are considering waterfront property for either vacation, residential, or other investment purpose. My wife and I have authorized April to include our name and contact information for client contact and reference confirmation or recommendation.

We can’t speak highly enough our experience with April Jeong-Callies. She goes the extra mile to earn your business. She introduced herself to us via video, before we even decided to use her as our agent. She always made the time to show us houses in the evenings and weekends due to my busy work schedule. She listened to our wants and desires. She was patient as we looked for several months. April always responded to our calls or emails no matter what time of day or night it was. Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty and hard work ethic were much appreciated. It took a while but we finally found a place we love. We plan to use April again when we list our current home later this year. We were fortunate to have found April and highly recommend her. Through the process, she became our friend.

Angie & Josie G.

We have worked with several realtors before buying and selling homes and real estate both here in Washington and in Pennsylvania where we previously lived. We can truthfully say that April Jeong Callies was the best one we worked with. From the first showing to the bidding process, escrow and loan processing, she was always there promptly responding to our questions and concerns. Her expertise on waterfront real estate was evident throughout. Even after we took possession of the property, she was still readily available to address our concerns and was or is very helpful in providing a list of local contractors. The whole process was handled professionally with a personal touch. Thank you April.

Patty R.

April Jeong-Callies was absolutely wonderful to work with! Being out of state buyers, we relied completely on her extensive knowledge and expertise when it came to purchasing our waterfront home. It was great to get her video tours of the major areas to acclimate ourselves with the various waterfronts. She was always available to us and kept us informed, always going the extra mile. We were able to buy our dream home thanks to April! We can’t say enough positive things about April, very dedicated and hardworking, simply the best!

Peggy M.

April Jeong-Callies helped us find our dream vacation home. She was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, friendly and supportive – a true professional throughout the process. She went the extra mile walking us through the process of making an offer and all the details that followed including meeting us for inspections. Because of April’s high energy, can do attitude, and superb follow-through-among other attributes – we are the happy owners of a new vacation home. We can’t thank her enough!

Susan A.

April is the best real estate agent we ever used! Knowledgeable, friendly, insightful and made our experience effortless. When we purchased our home we lived in another state, and April was our eyes and ears. She went to homes and did video tours and helped us find our perfect home. I cannot speak more highly of her skills and abilities. She was very responsive and answered our questions all hours of the day. In fact, she still checks in to see how we are doing.

Mahesh T.

My wife and I had the extreme pleasure of working with April Jeong-Callies. She is very professional and a great communicator. She offered sage advice and always had our best interest at heart. We searched for months for the proper house, and April was with us for the entire ride. She is also very knowledgeable about waterfront properties. If ever we sell our house or buy another one, we will work with April again in a heartbeat!

Robert & Janice

April is fantastic. We have known her for two years, and seen many properties in both King and Pierce counties. Now that we finally purchased our new home in beautiful Gig Harbor, we are sharing this glowing review. April is what a realtor must be: a knowledgeable and enthusiastic professional. April deserves our 5 star review and has been a blessing to know.
