Testimonials

Terry helped us sell our first house in Edmonds years ago, so when it came time to sell our condo in Mountlake Terrace, he was the first call I made. It was on the market one day. The first person who walked through made an offer above asking price and didn't even want to come back for a second look. That pretty much says it all.

What I appreciate most about Terry is that he doesn't rattle. Any time something came up, he'd sit down with us and say, don't worry, we'll take care of it, and then he actually did. He takes things off your plate without making a big deal of it. I've worked with other realtors, and I’d recommend Terry to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Edmonds or Mountlake Terrace. I wouldn’t use anyone else.

We heard Terry was an amazing realtor in the Edmonds area, and we couldn't have been in better hands. As first time buyers, we didn't always know what was good or bad about a house, and Terry would walk us through all of it. He'd point out things to consider, give his honest take, and just give us the lay of the land. That kind of guidance made a huge difference when everything is new and a little overwhelming.

On top of that, he was super responsive. We would send him a listing and he'd be on it immediately, doing drive-bys, talking to the listing realtor, and setting up walkthroughs. He's polite, professional, and genuinely personable. Terry would be the first name I give anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Edmonds.

Terry is what I'd call a no-stress realtor. He walked into our condo in Mountlake Terrace, looked around, and told us it was marketable as is. No paint, no staging, nothing. He knows what sells and he doesn't waste your time with unrealistic expectations. He says what needs to be done, and then he follows through.

What really sets him apart is his resources. Whatever needs handling, he has someone for it. Patching a wall, hauling things out, donating to the Edmonds Senior Center, you name it. We've worked with realtors in other markets, and they simply don't compare to his standards. And it shows in everything that he does. I can't recommend him enough to anyone in the Edmonds area!

My wife and I interviewed Terry and one other real estate agent before deciding, and it wasn't a close call. Terry came in with a clear, confident plan, and before we even signed anything, he had already made his contacts available to us for yard work, minor repairs, and getting the property into optimal shape for sale. He runs a tight ship, and his people respond quickly. Whatever you need, whether renovation, painting, or cleaning, he has someone for it, and they deliver.

The marketing was equally impressive. The professional photography was outstanding, the listing write-up genuinely caught the spirit of the property and what made it special, and he used a deliberate strategy of holding off on offers for a week to let demand build. One open house, strong interest, and at the end of that week we had an all-cash offer at full price with no inspection and no appraisal required. We simply couldn't refuse it. Terry is by far the most capable realtor we've worked with, and we've had several. He deserves every bit of his stellar reputation in Edmonds.

Amazing experience working with Terry for our first house, he was very knowledgeable and personable. Every house we went to he helped us think through all of the logistics very clearly and gave us a realistic idea about what would be needed for renovations/upgrades. I would 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a thoughtful house buying experience.

Terry Vehrs is truly an exceptional real estate agent. My first attempt to sell my home in Edmonds, WA in spring 2025 fell through, so I pulled it off the market and took the time to really research my next move. I researched on Zillow for the top agents handling properties in the local $1M to $2M price range, and Terry stood out clearly as number one, far ahead of everyone else in terms of sales volume. Behind those results, there are always deeper reasons, and choosing based on that data turned out to be one of the smartest decisions I made.

If I have one big regret from my two year selling journey, it’s that I didn’t take the time to research agents seriously in the first year. Only after finding Terry in the second year did I finally get the results I was hoping for. His experience is unmatched. Every piece of advice he gave me, even the ones I hesitated on at first, turned out to be valuable and right on point. He was especially strong when it came to addressing potential buyer concerns or unfair perceptions of the property, which helped protect my asking price and keep things on track.

The support I had through the whole process was what stood out the most. Terry and his team stayed involved from beginning to end. He’s resourceful and works with good partners who helped take care of the details. In the final week before closing, when I was running on empty, he even helped me deal with clearing out a large amount of items and debris so the house could be ready. It genuinely felt like someone was in my corner at that stage.

I also recommend subscribing to Terry’s monthly email updates. His marketing stands out from other agents and has a way of attracting serious buyers. You can see pretty quickly why his approach works.

If I could give Terry seven or eight stars, I would. If you are buying or selling in the Edmonds area, do yourself a favor and reach out to him first. His track record speaks for itself, and he knows how to get results. Highly recommended, five stars.

I grew up in Edmonds but live across the country now, so when it came time to handle my father’s estate sale, I needed someone I could truly trust from a distance. I interviewed several realtors, and Terry stood out immediately. Even when I first reached out, he was at his daughter’s wedding overseas, and his assistant Julie stepped in and impressed me just as much. That told me everything about the kind of operation he runs. What I was looking for was integrity, and that is exactly what I felt from both of them.

The house itself was a unique 1960 custom build, and Terry understood exactly what made it special. He generated so much buzz at the open house that the buyers came in at full price, waived inspection, and closed in six days. The buyer turned out to be an architect who appreciated the home for what it was, which was all I wanted for a house my brother and I grew up in. We are now closing on the adjacent land sale with Terry as well, and even when that got complicated, he handled it wonderfully. I would recommend him without reservation to anyone in the Edmonds area.

This was our third home purchase with Terry, and at this point we've worked with him on multiple transactions over the years. It was never really a question whether we'd use anyone else. He helped us buy and sell two previous homes, and this time around he helped us sell our home in Edmonds and buy in Woodway. Both were off-market deals. He worked with a buyer I brought to him on the sale, and on the purchase he approached the seller's agent himself and made it happen.

What keeps us coming back is the trust. He knows his numbers, he's honest, and if he thinks something won't land well on the market, he'll tell you straight. He doesn't feel salesy at all. It genuinely feels like he wants your house sold quickly and at the right price, not just a commission. Every house we've sold with him went within a week or so, at a fair price, and the house we just bought felt like the deal of a lifetime. I've recommended him to everyone I know who is looking for a great realtor, and will keep doing so.

I had been thinking about selling my dad’s home in Edmonds, WA for about a year. One of my criteria was paying attention to who was actually selling homes in that area, and I wanted someone who clearly knew it well. When I finally reached out to Terry, I really appreciated how straightforward and businesslike everything was. I was in the process of emptying out my dad’s home, which was a lot to manage on my own. Terry told me that if there were things I couldn’t deal with, I could leave them and his team would handle it. That was an enormous gift. I moved most things out, but knowing I didn’t have to manage every last detail took a huge amount of pressure off during an already stressful time.

Terry adjusted the level of service to my knowledge and bandwidth, without flair or fuss, and just met me where I was. He gave really practical guidance on what was worth spending time and money on and what wasn’t, and that was incredibly helpful as a first-time seller. We chose to stage the home and create a video because of the view, and they did a beautiful job. The house was an older two-bedroom, one-bath from the late 1940s, and making it feel spacious, clean, and fresh was no small task. We were on the market for less than a week, and Terry brought me the top three offers. The one I chose had a quick closing, no contingencies, and met my asking price. We closed within 14 days. It was a very positive experience, and I would absolutely reach out to Terry again or recommend him to others looking for a dedicated and caring realtor in Edmonds.
