“Prior to meeting Christina and Matt we seriously considered using a discount broker to list our home. In the initial meeting Christina and Matt's passion for their work, knowledge of the market, and pre-researched plan for our house convinced us to list with them. That decision ended up being the best investment we made since buying our house”!
Christina and Matt are extremely personable and easy to work with. Their enthusiasm, knowledge, work ethic, and trustworthiness made the process of listing and selling our home far easier and less stressful than we anticipated. Because of Christina and Matt’s ability to swiftly coordinate highly skilled contractors (paint, carpet, handyman), we completed numerous high-impact projects within our budget and timeline. Throughout the process, Christina and Matt deftly maneuvered seeking our input and providing expert advice. They went above and beyond every step of the way- meeting contractors at our home when we were unavailable, driving a load to the dump, helping us plant a garden- they are passionate about their work and clients and it shows.
Christina's vision and aesthetic in selecting paint colors, carpeting, and staging gave our home an extra wow factor. As a result of Team Skally’s tireless work and expertise, our home received many offers well above asking in just a few days, setting a record in Newcastle for comparables at the time. We cannot recommend them more highly.”
"Matt and Christina were great agents to work with. For us, we were selling a property that we no longer occupied and were living several states away. They took care of EVERYTHING and I mean everything. They helped with fixing up the house and getting it ready for sale, with getting the inspection, the geo-tech survey, moving out furniture, selling/giving away/disposing of everything else, buying new appliances, picking paint colors, carpet choices and new lighting fixtures. Whatever it took, they did it and we didn't. They did a great job of marketing the house and getting us a great price in a relatively short period of time. They also provided excellent advice as we got down to last and final offers. I think many agents promise full service. Matt and Christina delivered it. We have worked with 7 prior agents, all of whom were good to very good, but Matt and Christina were the best.”
“Christina went over and above for us! She helped us get a record price for our home and helped with every detail along the way! She has great style, attention to detail, midwestern work ethic, and is most importantly fun to work with!“
“Team Skally are the best realtors we have ever worked with! Very professional, experienced, and helpful agents. They did an exceptional job marketing our home. Highly recommend!”
“We recently had the pleasure of working with Christina Skally at Team Skally to purchase a new house, as well as sell our previous house. Christina went above and beyond throughout the entire process to ensure our needs and expectations were addressed in a professional, timely and caring manner.
Buying and selling a home during a worldwide health pandemic was a little worrisome, but Christina and her team were dedicated to supporting us from start to finish to make sure the process went as smoothly as possible across the board. Her attention to detail (especially the staging!), accessibility, responsiveness and clear communication approach were exceptional!
Christina's deep knowledge of the housing market was impressive and helped immensely. Our family cannot thank Team Skally enough for their guidance and support. We are so happy in our new home!”
Christina & Matt are THE BEST partners and experts you need in your home search. They are very professional, thorough, courteous, and have great attention to detail. Utterly patient to understand your needs & wants to help you find exactly what you are looking for, without compromising on any aspect.
Once we found our home, Christina & Matt went above and beyond to make our dream home possible - our first home with the first offer! As first time home buyers, there were several questions and apprehensions we had but Christina & Matt made the entire process appear so seamless, and so easy - they are so organized that we did not have to worry about deadlines, appraisal, communication with the seller...they constantly provided white glove customer service.
In addition, they both have a great sense of style and a network of really good contractors. From selecting paint colors to helping with ideas to enhance home features and sharing pictures - which by the way are always on point with what's on our mind! We have known them for over 2 years now, and the bond has only grown stronger. They are both very warm and lovely human beings, and we are so lucky to call them our friends!
“I don’t write many reviews but I felt compelled after my recent experience. My wife and I knew we were ready to buy a home, not just look for a home. We needed someone who would be responsive, actually listen to what we wanted, and more importantly know both my wife and I well enough to anticipate any questions or concerns we would have about each house we saw. In short, we needed the A-Team. We found it when we met Christina and Matt.
They were always responsive and they were beyond impressive with their knowledge of the homes and the neighborhoods that they showed us. When my wife or I were feeling overwhelmed by the process, they stayed focused and kept us engaged and excited about buying our first home together. When we finally found “the one” they didn’t waste any time and got to work!
We couldn’t believe how quickly and smoothly the whole thing went, especially after seeing what they were able to negotiate for us. They even checked in on us while they were on their family vacation which completely blew me away.
After the attentiveness and professionalism I felt while working with Matt and Christina, I can’t recommend them enough! Hire the A-Team.”
Working with Team Skally is like working with family that care deeply. They take care of you as a buyer/ seller and the way they work is unmatched. They create a sense of loyalty with every person they encounter (Contractors, cleaners, neighbors, etc.) because they are incredibly genuine.
From a seller perspective, they walked through our home and made recommendations for how to improve our home in order to get "top dollar". Every improvement came with an explanation as to why it was important. The "why" offered great perspective and showed an unprecedented amount of knowledge. We stuck with all of their recommendations. We went with their gut, not ours, and it worked! We sold for 75k over asking!
From a buying perspective, there was a time in our home buying process where our plans flipped entirely. They encouraged us to sit down and weigh our options. They switched from being our realtor to coaching us as their friend, that is a hard trait to learn in a commission-based job. They gave great advice in terms of finding the right area and land an amazing home. We were able to land our dream home 30k UNDER asking in a seller’s market. We could not have done it without them.
Everyone has a realtor friend, sure. But not everyone has realtors that treat you with such genuine love, respect, and kindness. They are a team that is unmatched.
“After traveling the country for more than a year and finally deciding to settle in the PNW, Matt and Christina brought their A-game to lock in a house for us in our top area in record time (within two weeks of connecting)! Their professionalism, business savvy, and genuine interest in helping clients find their dream homes made the house-hunting process delightful even in this rollercoaster of a market.
Thank you, Team Skally for the new home and befriending our 4yo daughter - the only thing better would be if Ms. Christina lived next door. We highly recommend working with Team Skally for any and all housing adventures in the PNW.”
“I can’t thank Christina and Matt enough for all of their help during my first-time home buying process, especially in this crazy market! They were so professional, went above and beyond with every detail, and made it so stress-free for me. They listened to all of my wants and needs and absolutely delivered. I trusted them throughout the entire process and they gave me great advice when I needed it.
We got the first offer we put out accepted right away and even ended up getting the home for under asking which is nearly unheard of these days. I couldn’t thank them enough for all of their help and guidance. I would highly recommend them to anyone preparing to buy and looking for a true 5-star experience. I promise they won’t lead you wrong! Thank you so much Christina and Matt!! Can’t wait to work with you guys again in the future!”
We felt very fortunate to list our home with Team Skally. From the minute we met Matt and Christina we felt like we had been friends for ages. They provided us with sound advice and guidance at every step of the process. Both Matt and Christina are extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market and their service was exceptional. They truly went above and beyond in helping sell our home - quickly too! Our family was truly blown away by the many ways Matt and Christina helped us out over the few weeks of listing our home. From watering our flowers to organizing inspection services, they made the process stress-free. Thank you so much Matt and Christina!
“We chose Christina and she did an amazing job. We were truly impressed by her work ethic. She is a tireless worker and very knowledgeable. The changes made to the home and staging she did made the house look amazing. She also has a great list of contacts for everything we needed. When we needed a septic inspection I called a few people and couldn’t get anyone out there to meet the timeline needed. Christina called her contact and he was there the next day! The house was well prepared to go to market and sold quickly with multiple offers over asking.
She also went to Gig Harbor to represent us as buyers and had a great group of homes for us to view. With her great insight, we found a nice place and she negotiated a good price for us. I would strongly recommend Christina to all my friends and family.”
“Matt & Christina orchestrated the sale of my Issaquah home. They are highly professional, take ownership of the complicated process and remember the stress and emotions that run high during the sale of a beloved home. They are highly skilled and infinitely kind. They got top dollar in volatile market conditions using strategies they learned from experience. I would recommend them to my closest friends and total strangers too!”
As a first time home buyer, I was nervous about all the steps and simply unaware of everything purchasing a home entails. One of my close friends recently bought her first home and referred me to Christina and Matt Skally because of the amazing experience she had with them. The very first text exchange between Christina and I completely put my worries at ease and I knew right away I would be taken care of. Team Skally was so thorough during the entire process and never missed a chance to keep me in the loop on what was going on (in laymen's terms thankfully!) They even recommended a handful of lenders for me to use which made the process even easier due to their already established communication. It's truly hard to express in words how thankful I am to have found these two. Never once did I feel pressured, rushed, or worried about my decisions. They were nothing less than honest about their perceptions of properties and spoke to me on the phone (many times) about the pros and cons of certain places. Long story short, I now have my *first* dream home and a foot in the door of the real estate market thanks to Team Skally! For all my future real estate ventures, I know exactly what team will be by my side, no questions asked!
