Testimonials

I'm an Edmonds guy, and anytime I came through the area, I saw Terry's signs everywhere. I knew he was well-established and ran a successful real estate brokerage. I was in real estate development in Bellevue, so I looked him up, talked to him, and knew he would represent me well. He’s a calming presence and really knows what he’s doing. His team makes the process worry-free, so I felt completely in good hands. I spent about a year looking for the right property, and with travel and timing, we had to be ready to act fast. When a listing came up, we were inside by late afternoon, and with his guidance, including a small escalation clause, we won the bidding war. I couldn’t be happier with how smooth he made it feel.

When I sold my condo in Bellevue, Terry brought in a videographer and photographer who produced classy marketing photos and a video that really showcased the property. He held multiple open houses and went the extra mile to make sure everything looked its best. It was a challenging market, but it sold. Terry is an excellent real estate agent with deep expertise in Edmonds and surrounding areas, including Mukilteo, Richmond Beach, and Shoreline. He knows how to plan, get things done, and has strong escrow connections. His assistant Julie is fantastic, professional, communicative, and genuinely supportive. Buying and selling is emotional, and having them guide us made a huge difference. I would definitely hire Terry again and tell anyone seeking a trustworthy, competent real estate agent to do the same.

My Dad noticed Terry Vehrs with Windermere almost all the premier properties in the Edmonds area for years during his daily walks. When the time came to sell, there was no question who we were calling. Terry was at the house the very next day. From that first meeting, it was clear he was strategic, experienced, knowledgeable and a fantastic listener. He walked through the house and immediately had a vision: pull up the carpets, expose the original wood floors, paint the exterior a specific color for current selling conditions and misc. required updates. He knew exactly what this style of home needed because he had sold so many of them. And here is what really stood out: he offered to cover the cost of everything, the staging, the prep work, all of it, and we settled at closing. We did not have to coordinate a single contractor ourselves.

The marketing was superior. Professional photographers, professional staging, open houses every single weekend even through the holidays, and weekly reports from his office detailing traffic, showings, and agent visits so we always knew exactly where things stood. His knowledge of current market conditions positioned the property correctly from day one. I don't think there is a better real estate agent in the Edmonds area, nobody else to consider except the Terry Vehrs team.

My wife and I had been looking for a home in either Edmonds or West Seattle for about a year and a half, and when we decided to focus solely on Edmonds, Terry came highly recommended from both our broker and friends who have lived there their whole lives. We needed somebody who truly knows the local real estate market. He gave us insight into each neighborhood and showed us which spots worked best, factoring in traffic, the view, and the feel of the area. He guided us through the competitive market and helped us find an off-market property. I call him the unofficial mayor of the area because he knows everyone, which made the process much easier.

Terry also sold our house in Auburn, a market he doesn’t usually work in, but his approach to marketing and using social media was impressive. He handled staging, lined up touch-up painting, had carpets cleaned, and guided us through every step. The property was under contract in three weeks, and we closed last week. Terry made sure we got a strong deal, and he delivered exactly that. His local presence and involvement in the community make a real difference. I would recommend Terry to anyone looking for a knowledgeable agent who knows the neighborhoods and gets results.

My wife and I had been house hunting in Edmonds, WA for over five years, waiting for the right fit in such a competitive market. When we finally found a place that felt right, we decided not to go it alone. We already knew of Terry Vehrs and his great reputation in the local area, so we reached out for help. From day one, Terry was measured, professional, and knowledgeable about the Edmonds housing market. He listened to what we needed, gave honest advice, and helped us buy a great home without overpaying. We’re confident we made a solid investment for our family and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

After the purchase, Terry offered valuable guidance on remodeling and property improvements, even connecting us with reliable contractors for painting and repairs at extremely competitive prices. I didn't expect that from a real estate agent, but greatly appreciated it. His professional network and strong ties within the community saved us both time and money, which was a huge bonus I hadn’t anticipated. His market insight goes well beyond what I could have learned from Zillow or Redfin over the years. Without hesitation, I give Terry a five-star review and highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Edmonds, Washington.

Terry isn’t just my neighbor, he’s the realtor I’ve trusted time and again to handle both buying and selling houses. He's realistic, straightforward, and honest about properties. He’s not just trying to sell something but really focused on helping you find the right home or the right buyer. His honesty and local knowledge are exactly why I trust him. When we sold our house in Edmonds, he staged it, handled a few small repairs, and took the burden off of us with true white glove service. The home was on the market for about two and a half months and ended up being a record-setting sale on our street with the highest price. Terry is genuine, easy to work with, and the only Edmonds, WA real estate agent I’ll ever recommend and continue to work with.

I've known Terry for years, and he has handled several real estate transactions for a trust that I co-manage. Terry recently closed on a purchase for one of the beneficiaries who needed to find a house. This particular transaction was more difficult than usual due to various circumstances, and he got way more involved in making it work than I expected, which ultimately made the whole thing happen. Any question I had about the transaction, he was already ahead of me and had taken care of or already addressed. I've worked with other realtors and real estate agents in the past but essentially let them go as they were not proactive and out ahead of me. What makes Terry exceptional is that he listens well, he cares, and he knows Edmonds and the surrounding areas like the back of his hand. I have recommended him to others and would use him again, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to have him list our house.

We chose Terry Vehrs as our realtor because we knew he had a great work ethic and is well immersed in the Edmonds/Woodway area, having strong ties to this community. Terry proved this true time and again. Terry is very responsive and follows through on his promises. I don’t know how many times he said he’d take care of it, and it was done! All his assistants and recommendations for getting work done, from painters to stagers, were respectful, kind, and efficient. Not to mention, we stayed under our repair budget! The house sold quickly with his team keeping us posted every step of the way. I gladly recommend Terry and his team to anyone needing to sell or buy a home.

I can’t imagine a more resourceful realtor in Edmonds than Terry Vehrs. He was simply instrumental when I needed help selling a property for someone downsizing from her home of 60 years to assisted living. As someone who was volunteering to help with this transition, I couldn't have asked for a better real estate agent. From the moment he took my initial call (despite being on vacation), I felt immediately assured he could handle everything down to the smallest detail which was a huge relief. He coordinated everything so seamlessly: the painters, floor refinishers, furniture removal, and donations - he managed all the preparations to list and sell the home exceptionally!
Terry also fronted the $20K in costs towards improvements but more importantly, oversaw the work carried out by his trusted local contractors to maximize the property’s value. In the end, the home, which was appraised at $650K, sold for an incredible $850K! I honestly couldn't have asked for more from him. He took care of all the heavy lifting and made what should have been an overwhelming process substantially more manageable. He was the only real estate agent I considered to handle this transaction, and after this experience, that will not change.

5 stars not enough. Our experience with Terry and his team has been world class. In a world of online and digital tours terry and his team bring value above and beyond. During our search the team was super supportive and we never felt any pressure to put an offer in unless we absolutely loved it. Terry’s insights into the market and home renovations really helped as we toured finding our forever home.
