D. Chen

I feel incredibly fortunate to have Johanna as my real estate agent when buying my first home. She can do it all! She was professional, hardworking, organized, and caring. I could tell my needs were her priority. She offered me helpful guidance when looking at properties. I knew I could count on Johanna to spot red flags with the properties we looked at and she didn't hesitate to dig deeper. Our seller's agent even commended her on the amount of questions she asked on my behalf! Her turnaround on paperwork was fast and done with great attention to detail. She was the perfect balance of being strong in negotiations and being easy to work with. Buying my first home was stressful for me and I relied on Johanna's expertise countless times during the process. I also loved that Johanna reminds me that I can reach out to her anytime with questions, even after the home buying process is over. I would not hesitate to work with Johanna again and will continue to refer people to her every chance I get. THANKS JOHANNA!

We really appreciate Johanna's patience, professionalism, and expertise. She understood well what we were looking for and was very helpful on all our requests. She also worked very hard on the details and kept us well posted through the contract process to ensure it went smoothly. It's been a great pleasure working with Johanna to find our perfect home.

C. Halverson

Johanna was fantastic! We were in the middle of a move back from Singapore via Denver and struggling to pull things together and even get up to Seattle to look at and find a place to buy. That combined with the challenging Seattle market made this a very difficult transition for us. Johanna made everything simpler and really went the extra mile to help us get this move and purchase done. She was responsive, helpful, knowledgable and just great. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

M. Hwang

"I had a great experience working with Johanna while I was buying my first home in the Bellevue area. That was more than five years ago, and recently when I had to find a selling agent as I was relocating to CA, I didn't hesitate to call for her help. Starting from even before my home was put on the market and until after it was sold, she has been taking care of everything - professionally and promptly. She is very knowledgeable and is always there when I need her. I was lucky enough to get her help twice!"

X. Tao

Johanna is the best communicator and has always put her clients’ interest first. She understands our needs well and make us feel supported along the selling process.
She’s also knowledgeable about the market trends, which helps a lot in forming our selling strategy.
It was such a pleasure working with her!

B. Manson

Johanna was the most prepared and knowledgeable real estate broker I have ever worked with. She knew exactly what repairs were needed in our condo unit to make sure it sold for top dollar with the least amount of investment and work on our end. I hardly had to do anything as she was there to let contractors in and make sure everything was completed up to her standards. We sold our condo property for the highest price in the complex, and there were two others that came on the market at the exact same time and with the exact same floorplan (and more upgrades). Johanna was also excellent help on the documents side. The first thing she did was to check our title and make sure it was in order (which it wasn’t). It was a godsend that she knew to check the title otherwise it would have delayed closing. She knew how to work with the HOA which can sometimes be difficult. I highly recommend Johanna Cox on the listing of your home. She will make your sale so easy, with less work, less cost, less stress and highest sale price.

S. McKay

We recommend Johanna Cox very highly. She worked extremely hard indeed for us - finding a house we liked in our desired location, and selling our home in Snohomish for a price we were pleased with. She was always available to us, with the many questions we had about the process (we had not been in the housing market for 26 years, and things had changed a lot!) Indeed she aided us through the entire process of buying and selling, giving us great and effective advice throughout.

H. Oechsner

Johanna Cox is an excellent realtor. She made the process of finding and buying a home as pain-free as possible. She was responsive to all our inquiries and worries, provided us with guidance and expertise, communicated well, and made us feel comfortable throughout the process. Rest assured that Johanna will work hard to find you the house you want. We cannot say enough about how good she is at her job. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable and really cares about her clients. We highly recommend her.

M. Sharma

Thank you so much Johanna!!!! You are awesome! You helped us buy our new dream home, and helped us sell our old home at a dream price!!! Thank you for all you did :)

L. Jacob

I have bought and sold homes several times over the last 20 years and have worked with terrific realtors. My bar is high. I interviewed highly recommended realtors to handle my recent Kirkland sale and fortunately had the wisdom to select Johanna Cox to represent me. My expectations were unreasonable and thanks to a demanding job, my time was short. Johanna's strategic approach to our very hot market was coupled with a genuine interest in my personal goals and circumstances. She went beyond my expectations in her efforts to set me up to understand the unusual market conditions, help me to prepare my house for sale by providing excellent referrals (even watching my home when I couldn't be there during work being done). She personally staged my home at no charge. Her response times to my questions were within an hour or so - even responding late at night. Her support made all the difference and resulted in my selling my home for many thousands more than I would have realized from a less involved and/or experienced broker. After my house sold she continued to support me by helping me to find a rental - even though her plate was full with other properties. She is extraordinarily efficient, has talented and dependable trade relationships and as she promised - was with me every step of the way. The qualities I appreciate in Johanna will exceed the expectations of anyone with real estate needs, regardless of the market conditions. She was outstanding in every way.

C. Zhang

I know Johanna a long time ago and she helped me as buyer's agent before. This time she is my seller's agent, and she is kind, patient, responsible and reliable as before. Despite the stay-at-home situation, she tried her best to list our house as soon as possible. She thought from my angle and gave me her professional advice, which proved to be absolutely right! She actively contacted and negotiated with potential buyers, and got a very good offer in just one day. It was very nice working with Johanna. I believe it will be a great choice to let her be your agent!

B. Katagiri

Johanna is awesome! She was quick to pick up on our wants and needs. Making herself available for all the houses that we wanted to see. Johanna has deep knowledge of the real estate industry and made sure we were making a sound and practical purchase of our first home.

L. Tao

Johanna is a "miracle worker" who makes our house-buying journey a pleasure. She's the most knowledgeable, warm and thoughtful person and is always accommodating to our schedule.
My husband and I have been looking for a house in a highly desirable neighborhood for 8 months (Yes, 8 months…) If we didn't have Johanna by our side, I would already give up. When we finally saw a house that checked all the boxes, we were excited and nervous at the same time, knowing how fierce the competition can be. Johanna prepared ahead of time and helped us wrote a compelling offer which stood out among at least 6 competing offers- and we were not even the highest bidder!
We have recommended Johanna to our friends and everyone speaks highly of her!

K. Cruise

Johanna is tirelessly dedicated to her clients. She is effective, efficient and patient. Being abroad, it was not an easy experience trying to find the perfect property, but Johanna made it possible to feel at ease "shopping and hunting" from abroad. Every concern of ours was met and addressed to our extreme satisfaction. Not only is she a fantastic broker who knows the market, but is a truly genuine person who goes the extra length to deliver an incredible service. I would without a doubt recommend Johanna. By choosing Johanna as your broker, you have the best person in your corner. Take it from us, a couple of type A personalities!

D. Satyavolu

Extremely professional, and patient. This was a first time "Jumbo" loan purchase for me, and was something I needed to be financially and emotionally ready for. Johanna was extremely patient and empathetic! No pressure, which was key for me. Patience. Timely responses. "Can do" attitude. Willingness to jump in and support as needed. I was traveling to India, and the entire transaction was seamless.

C. Lu

We are super lucky to work with Johanna Cox in finding our first home as a newly engaged couple.
Among many super powers Johanna processes, the following three impressed us the most and have been instrumental in landing us at our beautiful new home.
1. Passion for what she does.
When I first reached out to her regarding my desire to find a single family house on the east side, she quickly put together 6 recommendations. And guess what, one of the 6 becomes our new home! We called her right after we saw the house, and she made time to come over and meet with the seller’s agent with a very short notice. She strongly believes in what she does, which translates into the highest work ethic and enthusiasm.
2. Communication.
Her communication is always prompt and candid. The speed of her reply is shockingly fast, regardless of the day of the week or time of the day. She kept a very open conversation with us and with the seller’s agent, and her effort proved to be instrumental in getting us the house. All parties enjoyed working with her very much.
3. End-to-end white-glove level guidance.
She is with us throughout the whole process, from house hunting to negotiation to financing to the final signing. I felt very reassured in trusting her with following through the whole process. We were out of the country for 2 weeks prior to the closing, and I felt reassured knowing Johanna was there to take care of all the logistics.
We couldn’t be happier with Johanna, the super woman who made the would-be-exhausting process a rather pleasant experience for us.

Y. Zhang

"Johanna is very kind, patient, professional and responsible. I feel lucky to have her as my broker.
She paid lots of attention to our expectation of the new home, and put herself into our shoes when selecting the potential condos. Every time we found a possibility, she scheduled the visit to take a look right away. When we had concerns, she understood our concerns and never push us or convince us. She is so patient and kind during the whole progress. After we selected the condo (which satisfied our expectation very much), she analyzed the property value and market condition professionally and gave us helpful advice. She explained the documents patiently and clearly to help me understand what they mean. She is very professional and efficient when processing all the documents.
Thanks Johanna so much for helping us purchasing a new perfect home. She is highly recommended, she always thinks in your angle and being patient. Her work is very professional and I trust her a lot. Don’t hesitate! Choose her as your future broker! :D”

J. Lu

We’ve just ended one 2-year-journey to find an appropriate house in Seattle since December 2015 with Johanna’s dedicated professional service. Over the past two years, Johanna is always patient to understand our needs, provides insight of the current market trends with corresponding advice/recommendations.
She was so patient to listen the arising issues and shared every detail she could do for us. By sacrificing her weekends, a numerous listed properties were available for us to discuss at the right time. We have to present our apologies to her family as she spent lot of later evening/night time writing emails, phone call and discussions on the options we should go with.
We could imagine how much time/efforts she made in the last month to help us making the decision from various options, and go with every step with us until it is closed. Beyond this normal professional process, we have obtained more valuable advice/recommendations from her on subsequent service/process such as house inspection; liaise with Escow service; repair a few minor defects; insurance and house-leasing, which takes care everything could be hard for us to think about. Post settlement, Johanna is still helping us to organize the reparing and checking w/ seller and leasing agent etc.
In short, She has taken care every hard subject for us from Day 1 and you, as a buyer, should be very confident she is that right person to go with the journey again.

H. Gao

Johanna is highly recommended by one of my friends, and I have to say that it is the best recommendation I've ever gotten! Johanna is professional, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and always puts a smile on her face. She always keeps me updated and replies to my email in a very short time. Facing very tough competition, I still got my dream house thanks to Johanna's hard work. It's worth mentioning that it was the first offer I made! Johanna was excellent in every way and highly recommend her to anyone!

C. Berkowitz

Johanna very much exceeded our expectations. Very good at communicating with us, keeping us up to date on various steps in the sales transaction. She recognized the sensitivities of initially dealing with my 94 year old mother, and assured us that we (my wife and I) would be consulted on all aspects of the transaction. Because we were from out of town, she was aware we didn't have local contacts for painters, carpet cleaners, house cleaners, etc., so she either put us in touch with these individuals or set them up for us. She followed up to get the work done and to make sure it was done properly after we had to leave town. She also coordinated access to the garage to allow pick-up of some remaining items, and checked mail after we left. She was wonderful. We think we're very lucky to have had Johanna working with us. We were very impressed!

C. Klein

Johanna did a splendid job in helping me find my new home. Her service from start to finish was exemplary and on a professional, knowledgeable, yet friendly level, that far exceeded my expectations

Y. Shan

Johanna helped us to find a favorite house in Bellevue this May. As foreigners, we are not familiar the laws and common practices on the deal in US, Johanna was very patient and responsive to all our questions and concerns. She sent us numerous videos and photos of different houses until we found the right one. She is very organized and thoughtful, which made it very convenient to work with her. We highly recommended Johanna as your future broker.

M. Hwang

Johanna - It has been more than a month and a half since I made an offer for this home. Without your help, it would have been extremely difficult to find such a nice home for my family, especially considering the current insane market. You've been a wonderful captain for this short, but interesting journey. You'll be greatly appreciated as long as we stay in this home, and most probably, even after that.

D. Kauder

Best broker we have ever worked with! Extremely responsive and quick to return your call with the details you requested. She was there to help ensure that we were ready for our showings, and provided great feedback. We received the absolute best possible price for our home. She was excellent!

She is very patient and we always received very quick response from her whenever we had any questions or needed help.

R. Kauder

Friendly and professional! She takes the time to explain any questions you have, and is extremely flexible with her schedule. She returned calls quickly, and made time for any of our needs and questions. She quickly understood the type of home we were looking for, and did lots of pre-work to help us find our perfect home. She was awesome!

H. Wang

I appreciate everything Johanna did for me, she's great!

K. Anderson

Outstanding communication skills. Professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with! This market is so crazy, and yet she found us the perfect home, and was able to get it for us, even though there were multiple offers. We had an excellent experience, and highly recommend her to anyone!

J. Cai

The Seattle housing market has been crazy in the past few months. We feel so lucky that our friend recommended Johanna to us. Johanna is very professional in all the aspects from understanding your needs, due diligence on the property and negotiating with other parties. She is super patient and always put customers interest on the top. Throughout the multiple offers we worked on together, Johanna never hurries us to raise the budget just to close sooner. She is the agent I will definitely recommend if you want to get the perfect property at the price you want.

F. Whitemaine

If you are looking for someone who pays attention to detail, Johanna is that person. No stone left unturned. Keeping us informed through the process is another strong point of Johanna.
