Windermere puts customers first in ways that other companies only caught up with later. They added drive times to and from work in their listings to give buyers a real sense of what they were getting into.

6. Skyline Properties
For more than 30 years, the Seattle area has been served by Skyline Properties. Since Amazon came to town, Skyline has become one of the most efficient and professional companies operating in the market. Because it can be challenging to find a place in such a hot and pricey market, work with Skyline Properties to get access to brokers who are constantly being trained in new tactics.
Their brokerage covers 25% of the transactions in Puget Sound, meaning it’s possible you’ll be working with them if you’re looking to move to that region. Amplify your ability to get a good deal by working with our Clever Partner Agents who have access to the same properties or even work as Skyline agents.
7. Realogics SIR
Realogics SIR stands for Sotheby’s International Realty. Because Sotheby’s is constantly finding new ways to diversify their holdings, they’ve had a subsidiary connected to Realogy Holding Corp. since 2004. This has given brokers the ability to flex the Sotheby’s muscle while using the strategies that have allowed Realogy Holding to succeed.
Both companies have strict requirements for all of their agents. If you connect with one of these agents, you can be sure you get all the negotiating power you’re looking for at a fraction of the cost.
