Prudential Northwest Realty Associates Chariti McIndoe

I was searching for a place to move to that would allow us to keep our dog (German Shepherd/​lab mix), and needed to close fast because the owners decided to sell the house we were renting, and gave us very little time to move out. I had been living there for 15 years and suddenly had to move, no warning! Anyway, Charity was so helpful in getting me into my own home by working with the owners and the listing agent and we closed so very fast on the deal. That’s right, I contacted her on 8÷7÷2013 and moved into my new home on 9÷2÷2013. That was less than a month to find a suitable home with owners willing to finance since my credit is not good enough to qualify for a bank loan. Chariti is the nicest person and treated me with great kindness and respect. I believe I was very fortunate to find what I needed in such a short time frame. Please do not expect Chariti to perform miracles for you, but know this. She will do her very best and she is a pleasure to work with. Thank you Charity! You are a true blessing!

Chariti was referred to my fiancé and I through BECU’s mortgage lending process. And, in short, she was amazing! We jumped into the real estate game in one of the toughest markets — when interest rates were very low, demand was very high, and a small inventory pool. And, as first time home buyers, we were completely unaware of what the process would be like. To make things even more difficult for Chariti, we needed to find a house in 6 months or less because our lease was expiring on our rental.
We were looking for a «grandma house» — one that was older, well cared for, but needed some minor work to update it. The houses for sale were going fast, so we were constantly checking the market for new homes and emailing Chariti the ones we wanted to see before they were gone. She was always quick to email, text, and call us back and it made us feel like we were her only clients. Plus, because Chariiti had been remodeling her own house for some time, and had attended countless home inspections for her clients, she was very knowledgeable about what kind of work would probably need to be done and how much it would probably cost. This definitely helped us weed out the «deal-​breaker» houses.
After realizing that we’d probably have to pay for a pre-​inspection on any offer if we wanted to be competitive in a bidding war, Chariti was very helpful in coaching us through the inspection process and she was (amazinginly) able to schedule an inspector and sewer scope at a moment’s notice and on time before offers were due.
After 5 offers, 4 home inspections and no house to show for it, we were exhausted and emotionally drained. But Chariti never gave up on us, even when our demands might have seemed unrealistic or our frustrations got the best of us. She was very sympathetic to our unusual situation and remained positive the entire time, reminding us that the whole process would be worth it in the end. And it was! We ended up finding the perfect house for us and Chariti was with us every step of the way. She made sure we submitted a competitive offer at a strategic time, she sat through the final home inspection and sewer scope with us, she gave us remodeling tips and ideas, and she was constantly updating us on the whole process from initial acceptance to closed deal. When we are ready to move again we will definitely be calling Chariit to help us find our next place and we’d recommend her to anyone.

Chariti McIndoe is my patron saint of Realtors. My partner and I were introduced to Chariti via BECU and its real estate services program – even if you aren’t a BECU member, you should contact Chariti and ask her to be your agent. She lives in West Seattle and knows its neighborhoods well. She matched us with a house that fit our lifestyle very well, and she knows all the right questions to ask when viewing properties.
We briefly worked with another agent as a result of a website matching leads with first-​available agents. The agent didn’t listen to any of our wants/​needs, instead she only showed us properties that matched our price range. This same agent also knew all the best Italian eateries within range of any particular property we viewed with her – a boon for people who apparently need to freebase carbonara sauce like crack instead of, oh, focus their attention on real estate.
Chariti took the time to explain every step of the real estate process. As first-​time home buyers, this caring attention made us a lot less anxious about buying a home. And the process with Chariti could not have been any easier! If we had a question, any question, Chariti had the answer.
Our budget was nowhere near a million dollars, but Chariti took care of us as if we were the 1%.
The market in Seattle is batshit crazy, and you will find yourself combing new listings like a lawyer chasing an ambulance. My advice to you: contact Chariti and know that she will find the right house for you. And if you already have an agent that you may not be all that fond of, drop whoever is representing you and call Chariti.

I second the praise! My husband and I just bought a house with Chariti’s guidance and because of her the normally stressful process was tolerable. She helped us navigate the housing market of Seattle /​Shoreline and looked at many houses with us. We found a house we thought we loved but when the sewer scope revealed a huge break, we had to walk away because the selling bank wouldn’t fix it. She promised we would find something else and I was honestly doubtful but sure enough, we found a great fixer-​upper in the same neighborhood and we love our home. She is a true good egg; a trustworthy helper. A++++++
Also, like the previous poster mentioned, she is very knowledgeable about the market. She works with great inspectors and very educated people so you know she isn’t making random guesses.

Chariti is truly as good as it gets when it comes to real estate agents. We were very impressed with her knowledge of the business and all the ins and outs. We always felt completely confident in her evaluation of properties and recommendations. She was very knowledgeable of neighborhoods and the safety of each.
She supported and educated us every step of the way and we needed the guidance. We found the perfect home for us and we know that wouldn’t have been possible without her.
I would recommend Chariti to anyone in need of an agent. You will not be disappointed!
