This for everyone looking for an ethical, honest, friendly realtor, and or wondering if they even need a realtor. Arthur and Georg have sold three pieces of property for me in the last three years. A Condo, a Vacant Lot, and a Rental Property. The Condo and the Lot sold within a couple months of going on the Market, and I got my list price on both. The ease of the process made it “Seem” as though there was nothing complex about the process, “Seem” being the operative word. The Rental Property was a different story. It took around nine months, of inspections, unqualified buyers, low offers, and some unique offers. They weeded through them all and gave me the advice and options I needed to make reasonable. I say reasonable because at a certain point my I had some strong doubt, worry and fear (Was this the right choice, should I lower my price, what if it doesn’t sell) about the whole thing, and they were able to keep everything on track. In the end there were no surprises, I got my asking price, I have no regrets, and am left with a sense of gratitude and relief.
We worked with Arthur and Georg for the purchase of our new home. Georg has been professional, reliable, and approachable. Georg and Arthur were extremely knowledgeable of the market, provided helpful guidance and resources for the purchase of the home and all of the details of moving to a new area. We highly recommend them.
Our home buying experience could not have been better. Arthur and Georg know the Bainbridge market and had our back. We knew we had found our home after a few minutes of being inside and we got it UNDER the the asking price and IN our budget —which is a miracle on Bainbridge in this market. We never would have tried without Arthur’s guidance. And after we were under contract — Georg and Arthur both visited the house with us many times so we could plan our re-model. These guys are the BEST!
My wife and I recently sold a difficult property with the help of Arthur and Georg. There are many very expensive homes in our area but ours was not one of them. Nevertheless, Arthur and Georg really went to bat for us. We were surprised and pleased when they took out a full-page ad featuring our property in our local newspaper. Their communication skills are excellent and they were always available to patiently and clearly explain what was going on throughout the sale process. There were ups and downs along the way but Arthur and Georg were always our advocates and helped us resolve problems as they arose. Eventually they found the perfect young couple who could see the potential for their own home dreams in our property. We recently finalized the sale. Thank you Arthur and Georg. You have our highest recommendation.
We had been renting our home from out of state, believing the property manager was taking good, diligent care of it, for two years. When the tenant moved out and I finally saw the empty house, I was dumbfounded. Not a single area of the home or the grounds looked cared for, or even remotely like it had when we lived there. Georg Syvertsen saw the house with me the same day, as we were listing it with him and Arthur for sale. Neither of us said what was on our mind as we reviewed it. Honestly, if I were Georg, still struggling in a depressed market to sell homes in top condition, I may well have passed on the listing. Instead, Georg and Arthur took it on full bore. It took a year of repairs and refurbishment to restore the home to its original beauty. Throughout that period, Georg, Arthur, my wife, and I worked as a disciplined team, each member bringing unique strengths to the table. The timing of the completed restoration was perfect. The market had turned. Priced well from the beginning, with ample room for fine-tuning, then closing a deal on the first try, the home sold with Georg and Arthur leading the way with marketing, promotion, networking, and lots of good old-fashioned leg and phone work. Working together, we accomplished every objective we set; then we achieved our final goal of selling the home, well within our price and time parameters. I can’t say enough on behalf Georg and Arthur, except to say that when the going gets tough, and believe me it’s still very likely it will, there is no one better to have on your team. Also, I know of no one better when it comes to finding the right strategy for each set of circumstances, a solution for each obstacle, and the shortest, surest path to a sale. Allowing them 30 days to research the appropriate market, I would use and recommend Georg and Arthur for either the purchase or sale of a home anywhere in the U.S...come to think of it, anywhere period.
Georg and Arthur took over managing the sale of our Poulsbo home after it had been listed by another realtor for six months with no activity. Georg and Arthur had a plan to sell the home and they produced as advertised. The home is a high end property located on a busy highway (SR 305). The road noise was a huge handicap, but the realtors’ persistence paid off. They gave the home the highest possible exposure through media and held numerous open-houses. They never gave up. In addition, they remained extremely positive and encouraging throughout the process. We received frequent communication informing us of activity and comments of prospective buyers. Their advice on staging the home was on target. They work well with other area realtors in coordinating and negotiating. I highly recommend this team to anyone selling a home in Bainbridge Island, WA or Poulsbo, WA. They are the best.
Arthur Mortell came highly recommended to us and lived up to all our expectations and more. From the minute we met at Coldwell Banker Bain, we knew he would help us find our dream home on Bainbridge Island. Arthur was able to quickly determine what we were looking for and what we needed. His incredibly astute knowledge of the area, latest market trends, tenacious nature, professionalism and personable nature made it a pleasure to work with him. His partner, Georg Syvertsen is a solid business partner and together, they make an awesome team. We will be recommending Arthur & Georg to friends and family who want to find their dream home or sell one here on Bainbridge Island. We couldn’t ask for a better real estate professional!
