- Karissa PieriniWillie was an extremely attentive, thoughtful and supportive agent, who really advocated for us during the entire process. We had to have 3 (yes 3!!!!) appraisals to get the deal done. Willie’s knowledge, connections to the community and perseverance aided us in getting our dream home and property. We can not thank him enough!
- Dan OsbornThank you Willie for all your help selling my condo! This is the second time I've worked with Willie, and this time has only strengthened my decision to work with him. Throughout the entire process, Willie kept me sane and grounded, even as we encountered surprise after surprise, and challenge after challenge. Despite all of the issues that came up, Willie helped me navigate all of the situations, provided expert advice, guided me through the process and reassured me that we would get through it together. Whenever I got discouraged, Willie was there--and he always either had an immediate solution for whatever issue popped up that day, or he had a plan to get the solution quickly. First off, right before we decided to list, the condo above me had found a leak that caused damage to my condo. After all of the repairs were finally completed (2 months later), Willie went to work getting me set up with an amazing stager and photographer that made the condo look incredible--certainly better than it ever looked when I was living there! As a true testament to Willie's attention to detail, expertise, availability and professionalism: we listed the property, had showings, received multiple offers, and accepted an above-listing offer all within a matter of 3 days. Then the real "fun" began. Between working with an uncooperative HOA who apparently has the same customer service approach as the DMV, dealing with inspections, and trying to keep everyone happy by fielding the many specific and overly-particular questions from the buyers and the buyers' agent, the first buyers eventually didn't work out. After strategizing, we decided to go back to market immediately, and again accepted an above-listing offer in a matter of days. This time, however, all of Willie's guidance and detailed prep work from the first buyers helped us have a smooth and stressless experience, and we closed everything with a short escrow. Willie and his team are wonderful to work with, and have me as a guaranteed customer for life.
- Cory WierAbsolute pleasure to deal with! Highly recommend! We have known and worked with Willie & Laurelle for over a decade and known them in many capacities of real estate: landlord/tenant, buyer’s agent and seller’s agent. We have gone through 4 different transactions with them in very different markets. Despite anything that we have faced- we have always come out on top thanks to them. They are always on time, honest and friendly and creative with their platforms, marketing and approach. We’ve never been left waiting on their end and through each transaction, we have grown to feel like we’ve had friends at our side with them. I can’t imagine having done any of it without them. On top of that, they have always helped us get the most for our money and get the best return on our investment. We are completely satisfied! Thank you Willie & Laurelle at Whole Life Properties! Your approach to real estate is refreshing and much needed in today’s market!
- Jaime O.There really isn’t much more to say other than if you want to work with some of the best in the biz, give Willie and Laurel a call. You won’t regret it. Our home search started in 2021. January 2021. It was a long journey to finally closing. A year actually. The biggest reason I think it took so long is because Willie and Laurelle weren’t the first agents we worked with. I had gotten a great recommendation to work with them from a good friend, but for whatever reason decided not to go in that direction. I won’t go into details on that experience, but needless to say it led to burn out and a pause in our home search. When we decided to start again, I gave Willie a call. We immediately jived and he really understood our frustrations, but also what we were looking for and had so much great advice on the market, the process, and setting the right expectations with us. Every time we discussed an offer on a home, Willie gave us honest and solid advice. It’s a crazy market, but we always came in at a top 2-3 offer on any home we bid on. Again, great counseling on Willie and Laurelle’s end on here. We didn't land some of these because we weren’t willing to waive all contingencies in some cases. In others, there was slightly different terms that were more favorable to the seller, but our offer prices was solid. We knew this because Willie was great with building relationships with seller agents and following up afterward to get the intel. We got none of this the first time we started our hunt. While we didn’t get many offers accepted (though we did submit several counters and were runner-ups), we never felt like we didn’t go in strong and didn't felt pressured into making a bad decision. That really speaks to the integrity that Willie and Laurelle have. We finally landed our new home 3 months after starting to work with Willie and Laurelle (not a bad turn around given we were looking for like 4-5 months the first time before giving up and pausing). Going into that offer, we knew we had a solid shot based on all the details Willie gave us. After we closed I had the chance to speak with the sellers. They mentioned to me that Willie and Laurel were one of the biggest reasons that they selected our offer. They said that the way that we were represented really resonated with them and sealed the deal (in fact, they said they were going to use a similar approach in the home search they were doing at the time). I think it was just the authenticity of it that stuck out. We can’t thank Willie and Laurelle enough. We’re grateful to have partnered with them and we know who to call if we are ever on the hunt again or need to sell our home.
- Jasmine NguyenWe were elbows-deep in the search for our first home; trudging through countless online listings, attending dozens of showings, tallying endless lists of housing pros-and-cons… We had struck out on multiple offers before contacting Willie to represent us, a decision which culminated in us finally becoming homeowners! Willie came into our lives at exactly the right time with the exact right attitude — he was incredibly generous with his knowledge, answering all of our (*many*) questions promptly and with clarity. His confidence and kindness helped ease all of the anxiety that we had felt up to that point. Willie was always available for a phone call or a text, which is something we especially appreciated as first-time homebuyers in the 2022 post-pandemic market. With his guidance, we were able to get our offer accepted for an absolute dream of a home. We can’t thank him enough for being our partners in this process! We would 1000% recommend Willie and the rest of the Whole Life Properties team to anyone looking to make their real estate experience as smooth and seamless as possible.
