“I have worked with over ten real estate agents through my sixty plus years. There is no one that has come close to Doug. I cannot recommend him highly enough!” - Bruce “His knowledge of the process and responsiveness helped us submit the winning bid on a highly contested home!” - Jeff
“As first time home buyers we were unsure how to navigate the real estate market. Doug always had the time, knowledge, and patience to work with us. (Even in the times we had to bring our kids!) There is a reason he is South Kitsap’s #1 Realtor!” - Amanda
