"In today’s challenging market, it is absolutely essential to hire the right agent to sell your home. Having used only “full commission” agents in the past to sell my homes, I did think twice about using a “discount commission” agent – but Matt changed all this. He truly lives up to this statement: “Simply Outrageous Service! Not Outrageous Commissions!” What is outrageous service? It is not only meeting but EXCEEDING our top priority goal to be on the market for the shortest time possible, it is finding a strong buyer who will have the best potential settle on time, it is being available to answer our questions as well as the ability to negotiate to our terms with the buyer. We would have gladly paid “full commission” for Matt’s services but glad we didn’t. If you’re selling or buying, especially in Issaquah Highlands, it would be outrageous not to go with Matt and his team!"

"We were extremely pleased with your outstanding work during the listing and final sale of the Alki home. Due to the bad real estate market, we both saw the listing value drop by 35% from early 2008 to the final sale this February. During all this time, you continued to help us as we reduced the sales price each month over the last 11 months. You were always helpful in guiding us through this process. Additionally, you made sure that there were open house showings when we requested them. Due to the underlying mortgage, we unfortunately got in the position where the mortgage company was going to start the repossession process. Your timely negotiating for us with two buyers in early December saved us from the possible repossession and, upon the sale, gave us some equity to share among the 7 beneficiary/owners. Additionally, we believe that your knowledge in the lending area (special rates and options for a buyer) helped assure the buyers of their ability to buy the house. And, your 1% listing commission helped us when negotiating the sale, and securing some of the equity out of the house sale for the beneficiaries/owners. In summary, we thank you for all of the hard work, determination and help you gave us during the entire listing and sale process. We will gladly recommend you to other sellers we may come in contact with."

"My husband and I have been lived in Issaquah Highlands for about 6 years. We often talked about what kind business we would like to have in our neighborhood. I always said that I like to have a nice bakery because I remember that we used to go out and buy fresh baguettes every morning for breakfast in Paris. My husband wanted to have an organic fruit and vegetable store so that he can have access to fresh, organic vegetables and fruits daily. However, we never thought about having a real estate agency in our neighborhood.

Surprisingly, our great real estate experience changed my mind about having a real estate agency in my neighborhood. I never realized using a neighborhood real estate agency was so convenient and advantageous in selling our house until we put our house on the market through Matt Jensen at The Cascade Team. With all the good memories about Issaquah Highlands, our real estate agent, Matt further added to our good memories by making the process of selling our house easy and stress-free.

In February 2010, we put our house on the market a second time with Matt Jensen at The Cascade Team Real Estate. Voila, again we had several strong offers including at the full asking price. At this time, my heart started to break realizing that, this is it, we are really leaving Issaquah Highlands. It was too sad and we are now considering changing our minds again toward keeping this house as an investment. Matt has known since the beginning that we may rent our house and he always encouraged us to do whatever works best for us. Despite this I know that he always patiently and carefully listened to our needs and worked feverishly to exceed our expectations every single time. I can not ask for anything more than the professionalism and genuine caring I received from Matt.

I hope to see more great businesses come to Issaquah Highlands and provide great services to our residents as Matt and The Cascade Team Real Estate has provided for us. "
