1. Current and past Clients have been so very gracious to provide me with
recommendations on the work we completed together.
Here are some of the Client Referrals I have received:
"We were moving during a tough time... "
We were moving during a tough time when I was pregnant and wanted to relocate to
California on a time schedule. We were not an easy sell since we had a time limit and
we were stubborn on the price at the same time! Karen and Scott definitely bent over
backwards to make this work for us at the price that was comfortable! They were both
very persistent with getting our place sold for us on time even when we were Losing
hope! They were both very professional, very persistent (they never gave up putting in
the 150%), continued to aggressively market our place until the end, and so patient
with us!!!! If you want your house sold for comfortable price, on your time schedule,
these people will get it done!!! Thanks Karen and Scott for making this relocation hap-
pen on our time schedule!!! Thanks, Stacey
" I had a commercial building to sell..."
Scott is everything you want in a commercial real estate broker -- available, resource-
ful, connected, and trustworthy. I had a commercial building to sell with the challenge
of having recently moved out of state. Scott took care of everything for me with great
communication and promptness to the details. I would definitely use Scott again and
am happy to recommend him. Keven C.
"Scott is awesome. He never stops working until the sale is complete"
Scott is awesome. He never stops working until the sale is complete and truly went out of
his way to ensure that our house was cared for since we moved out of state. He took the
time to answer our unending questions during the short sale process and came up with
solutions to any problem that popped up. He is amazing. He is totally dedicated to his cli-
ents and will stick it out until the end. Chad M.
2. "Scott helped my buy a commercial property"
Scott helped my buy a commercial property. As a certified skeptic, I never thought that I'd
be writing a recommendation for a realtor. However, Scott exceeded my every expecta-
tion. Now I realize that's an expression that many people may use. And yes, Scott made
extraordinary efforts BEFORE the sale, including driving in a snow and ice storm and
making special accomadations for my partner who lives full time in a motor home travel-
ing the country and rarely spends more than a few days in the same place. That said, I
was most impressed with the assistance he provided AFTER the sale. The deal was
signed, the ink dry and commissions already paid. So he wasn't obligated to help in any
way. When we purchased the commercial property we ended up renting the property
back to the seller so he would have time to remove all of his property and equipment. As
the end of the lease approached the sellers son wanted more time to clear the premises.
Scott stepped up and negotiated a settlement. After we took possession there were couple
of issues with unpaid utility bills. Again, Scott stepped in and settled the matter and when
we needed a contractor he provided referrals. He has my gratitude and I would recom-
mend him whole heartedly. ZILLOW
"He is a complete and TOTAL PRO"
I have been a Real Estate Broker since 1979, principally involved in marketing full Condo-
minium Projects both new and conversions. I have personally and professionally logged a
lot of real estate experience, but only limited experience in single family residences. I
needed a true real estate professional when it came time to market my personal resi-
dence....someone knowledgeable, ambitious, creative, and someone with a clear focus on
the goal....selling the home quickly, cleanly, and without unnecessary complications for
the highest net realistic sales dollar....and someone that treats his occupation with respect
and responsibility and not like a hobby or an if-come supplemental family income source.
I interviewed MANY, MANY agents and was fortunate enough to meet and sign with Scott
Phariss. He is a complete and TOTAL PRO !!....and if it sounds like I am a fan of Scott
Phariss, I am. I would never enter another personal real estate deal or transaction with-
out his consultation and consideration. -Jim H.
3. "Scott is a very professional and responsive real estate agent"
Scott is a very professional and responsive real estate agent. His knowledge of the hous-
ing market, reports that he generates and connections within the industry are impressive
to say the least. The situation we were presented with when buying our house was tricky
on many different levels but Scott was always on top of the changes and worked very
closely with us to make sure we were able to successfully close and close on time. If you
have Scott on your team you will not be sorry and he is your best advocate when buying a
house. I have worked with other real estate agents in the past and the lack of responsive-
ness or high pressure sales tactics get old. Scott is just there to help out and guide you in
the decision and buying process in such a positive manner that he made the whole pro-
cess actually fun instead of a stressful ordeal. I definitely will be going back to Scott for
future home sales and purchases. -Steven K.
"My experience with Scott Phariss was with a short sale purchase"
My experience with Scott Phariss was with a short sale purchase. Scott is a full service
agent who has an indispensable understanding of the home purchase and sale process.
He was Instrumental in orchestrating a smooth transaction, which short sales typically
are not. Scott was always prompt with status reports and followed up on every bump in
the road we encountered with the sellers. Scott worked closely with me post sale to make
sure that everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone looking to
buy or sell a property. - ZILLOW
"Scott did not just find my family a house, he helped us find a home."
My wife and I had been tentatively shopping for a house for a number of months before a
chance encounter introduced us to Scott. From the start Scott was straightforward and
persistent (in the best way). He adapted to our ever changing needs and wants. He
worked with our schedules and around that of our infant's sons. Scott did not just find my
family a house, he helped us find a home. Scott's a realtor with integrity and he's not just
there to make a buck but rather because he genuinely likes what he does and care about
those he works for. - ZILLOW
4. "We feel very fortunate to have been referred to Scott Phariss"
We feel very fortunate to have been referred to Scott Phariss when we needed the services
of a realtor when looking for a new home. Scott is the consummate realtor, extremely
knowledgeable, honest, caring and totally dedicated to his profession. We purchased a
home on a short sale basis and we sincerely feel that it was Scott's expertise and negotiat-
ing skills that made it happen, and also made it a win/win for both sides of the transac-
tion. Although Scott is a busy professional, he always made us feel that we were his most
important concern. His positive attitude and enthusiasm were greatly appreciated. He is
very responsive and on top of things. We would unequivocally recommend Scott for any
real estate needs. We hope he is still available the next time we need real estate services.

"I would not hesitate to have Scott help me in any future real estate transac-
tions"
Recently Scott represented me when I placed a commercial building for sale on the mar-
ket and throughout the process he demonstrated superior professionalism, dedication to
detail and persistence to the conclusion of the sale of the property. He was always very
timely in responding to my questions and was readily available. I would not hesitate to
have Scott help me in any future real estate transactions. ZILLOW
"The house sold the day after it was put on the market for the full listing
price."
We worked with Scott for about a year getting the house in to very marketable condition.
He assisted with recommendations for selling features and also things not to bother doing
as the cost would not be returned in the selling price. With Scott's help we determined the
appropriate staging for the house, and picked an appropriate day to put it on the marked.
We haggled a bit on the proper selling price, but with the help of Scott and he associates
at Windermere, we were able to come up with a proper price. The house sold the day after
it was put on the market for the full listing price, and no concessions were required. Scott
uses all the current vehicles to advertise the house being available, and the new owners
found it on a web site. Scott is easy to work with, very aware of the local market condi-
tions and has a good sense of humor, which if very much appreciated in pressure situa-
tions like selling a house. He knows the local vendors if you need a service performed,
and all those involved in the closing process. I would recommend Scott for any real estate
project you have in mind. -Dick R., Shoreline
5. "Not only was he a continual professional, he went above and beyond what
most agents do"
When we approached a mortgage broker about getting a home loan, she recommended
we speak with Scott. She said she would "introduce us" via email, then we could decide if
we wanted to use him or another agent. We are certainly glad we decided to go with
Scott. Not only was he a continual professional, he went above and beyond what most
agents are willing to do. We had a terrible time with the mortgage company we used and
I was in tears on more than one occasion. What other agent would be the "go-to" person
to talk us through these tough situations? He not only provided us with outstanding real
estate ideas, but he used his contracting skills to assist us in looking for good and bad op-
tions and things about each house we looked at. In the end, I would not hesitate to highly
recommend Scott to anyone who needs to buy a house. Thank you again, Scott, for your
hard work, diligence, compassion, and a willingness to help us find our first home. We
couldn't be happier! - ZILLOW
"We highly recommend Scott to anyone who needs a Broker in the Seattle
area"
My husband and I were looking for a way to live near our family in the expensive areas of
the Seattle and Shoreline areas. It was very difficult to find what we needed, and we were
discouraged. When Scott started working with us, we knew we would soon be able to find
what we needed! On fixed incomes, it was so difficult to think of the home prices here,
having moved up from the Carson Valley area of Nevada. Home prices there are a third
or less than they are here. Now we live in a wonderful area in Bothell, Washington. We
are a short drive from our children and grandchildren. Scott Phariss was a great help in
meeting our needs. We highly recommend Scott to anyone who needs a Broker in the Se-
attle area. - Yvonne P.
