Stories of our clients' successes!
Larissa was just terrific. She provided great guidance on what needed to be done to my 20 year old townhouse to get it ready to sell, and kept the ball rolling. I took her advice on pricing and the result was a quick sale $25,000 over the list price. I have already recommended her to others, and will continue to do so.
Larissa was recommended to us by our landlord as soon as we shared that we were looking for a home. We were first-time homebuyers and a little nervous about finding a home in Kirkland within our budget, that didn't require significant renovation. Since we were new to the process, Larissa walked us through everything we needed to know about where to look for homes, which lenders to work with, and how to be prepared to make an offer. She also helped us decide on what kind of property was best for us (condo, townhome, or house). Larissa was just "hands off" enough - she let us have our space and really find what we wanted, without bugging us every day about new listings. Once we found the perfect Kirkland condo, Larissa was ON it and we got mutual on the first offer we put in! She was always available and quick to respond, and really helped us keep on top of all the tasks we needed to complete. Even though we had some complications with our loan, the buying process was a snap because Larissa is an expert and so knowledgeable. We would recommend her to anyone!
Larissa did an amazing job selling our home in West Seattle. When my partner and I moved to Seattle we met Larissa as we were looking for a place to rent, not only did she manage to find us an excellent spot but then a year later helped us purchase our first home a year later. Then five years later she helped us sell our home in a quick and easy way! Could not recommend her enough since she is one of the warmest considerate agents one could ever have the pleasure to work with! Plus, Woody is pretty awesome too!
We are a couple from Shanghai China, one of our friends recommended Ms. Larissa Sweeney to us since she has bought and sold four homes for my friend. When we arrived in Seattle, she helped us finished everything in three days only. You can imagine that how hard it is to buy a new home for first time and for a foreign couple. She picked us up from our hotel and showed us 7+ homes with her car. She helped us to talk to listing agent efficiently and find home inspection service, local bank, handyman, CPA and everything we needed, even the new tenant before we closed on the new home! She is a very professional, very warm, very kind, very nice lady, we will let her be our agent forever. If you are looking for a real estate pro, she is definitely the one you want. I highly recommend Ms. Larissa Sweeney to you!
Larissa is amazing in all regards, and I trust her implicitly. She advised me on market conditions to find the perfect time to see vs. rent, is incredibly responsible and proactive, has a great knowledge of all the Seattle neighborhoods, and is an excellent negotiator. Plus, and this can't be expressed enough, she is a pure joy to work with... always smiling and fun. I would highly recommend her.
Larissa was a GODsend and absolutely FABULOUS!! She went above and beyond to get me the most money for my house and held my hand throughout the whole process since this was my first time selling. AND when the buyer kept needing extension after extension she played hardball for me and got me extra money for the waiting. I cannot recommend her enough, she was FABULOUS!
Larissa is amazing. We put our Wallingford condo on the market in Spring of 2018. Selling the property seemed daunting, but Larissa made everything easy. She took control, knew exactly what to do, knew exactly how to make the unit sell for the best price possible. She was extremely communicative with me and explained every detail of the whole process. Whether buying or selling, Larissa will be the most knowledgeable and helpful realtor out there!
Larissa has been AMAZING to work with. She was an absolute wealth of information leading up to our sale to help us prepare everything. We then sold our house while moving cross country - and wanted to ensure our house sold as quickly as possible. It was so great knowing we had Larissa in charge, because of all the stressful things happening, we never had to worry about details, or about the process itself. I completely trusted Larissa as she had proven herself over & over leading up to the sale that she was trustworthy, honest, reliable, incredibly quick to respond....etc!!! And she did not let us down at all. She ensured we had an amazing offer and things closed as timely as possible. Please don't hesitate in choosing her has your agent!
Thank you Larissa for selling our sweet little Seattle home and helping us move out to the country. Larissa's knowledge of the Seattle market is outstanding. She knew right where to list it and got us tip-TOP dollar. It's easy to underestimate the amount of work that goes into selling a home and Larissa was there each step of the way to ensure nothing was missed -- met with the stagers, inspectors (we pre-inspected and provided the report to all potential buyers) coordinated a couple repairs prior to listing, marketed and hosted our open houses, responded to EVERY single question we had that came up and basically immediately. If she didn't have the answer right away she'd still respond and let us know when she would have an answer for us or who we needed to talk with in order to get our question answered (mostly loan questions, rates, etc.). She coordinated and kept in contact with our loan officer, and the list goes on. The process of listing and selling our home was seamless. Most importantly, I felt like we were a team. She guided us through this process, brainstormed with us, helped figure out what was most important to us for buying and selling. I would HIGHLY recommend Larissa any day to anybody in the market to buy or sell a home in the Seattle area, you will not be disappointed.
Working with Larissa to sell my house was the best experience! She knew exactly what I needed to do to prepare my house and get it on the market to achieve optimal results, which we did! She worked with me on the important costs to invest and helped manage all the details - and I mean everything! I live in California and did everything remote. She navigated multiple contractors and projects on site with professionalism and dedication to making my house look like a million bucks, literally! I am so proud of the house we presented to buyers. I highly recommend Larissa when you are ready to buy or sell.
Larissa handled everything flawlessly-- the staging, cleaning, yard work, paperwork, everything! She ever bought some flowers to plant in the pots around the unit. Throughout the process she was totally reliable and responsive; I never waited over 24 hours for a response. Could not be happier and could not more highly suggest you use Larissa!
Larissa helped me find and purchase a property in Seattle's Magnolia neighborhood. Her knowledge of the Central/North Seattle neighborhoods and connections in the industry helped us quickly identify a good property (location, building specs, value for money) and to position an offer accepted by the Seller within a day. In addition to what I would expect as core service offered by an agent, she was very helpful in introducing me to a good lender (service quality, ease of doing business), giving me tips and recommendations on how to avoid risks and delays in the closing process and introducing me to a property manager after closing on the property.
Throughout the process she remained highly engaged, energetic, upbeat and amazingly quick to contact me or respond to any queries I or the lender had about the property. to put things in context, I live in Singapore but with her help the entire "house hunt", offer and closing process went seamlessly and very fast.
Thank you Larissa!
Larissa's expertise in real estate and knowledge of the downtown Seattle condo market was priceless in enabling me to purchase my first home back in 2016. Fast forward to 2020 and Larissa's knowledge once again proved valuable when it came time to sell my condo, especially during a difficult downtown condo market for seller's. Larissa has provided unmatched communication and was able to fulfill my needs and desires in both scenarios. Larissa is amazing to work with and I highly recommend her! There's no one else I trust in helping me with my real estate needs.
Highly recommend! Larissa is a must have on your team whether you're selling or buying. She knows the industry extremely well and has all the right connections from contractors to brokers. She'll work for you and make the process straightforward and painless. Her negotiation skills really made her shine. We initially had one offer at review deadline, but she managed to convince a 2nd buyer to put in an offer and the bids escalated from there. Suffice it to say we were blown away with the closing offer.
I found Larissa to be thoroughly professional and incredibly responsive to my home-buying needs. Her willingness to go the extra mile to research properties, delve into issues and track down answers was greatly appreciated. Also, her network of professionals proved valuable in assessing homes and in post purchase follow-up projects. Overall, I was exceedingly pleased with Larissa's work and would definitely trust Larissa with my future home buying/selling needs.
You were trustworthy and an expert in the areas of staging, pricing, and selling of the property down to the last line of paperwork.
Thank you.
Larissa was awesome in every way! Knowledgeable, dependable, gave great advice, VERY responsive, got right on EVERYTHING - phone calls were made immediately, every question I had was answered in a very timely manner, she listened to what we wanted....everything one would want in a real estate professional. I especially appreciated how if she was slightly unsure of something she would double check rather than risk misleading us in any way - we felt very secure in her hands, and trust is an important thing when you are talking about this kind of money being spent. She was very patient and helpful through our two near miss deals (no fault of hers, crazy market here) - and then she found us the perfect house! We are very happy with her professionalism and service and are already recommending her to friends.
We worked with Larissa to buy our first home and we couldn't be more thrilled with her services. Larissa was exactly who we needed to assist us with the process of buying. Larissa had strong communication, lots of knowledge about the neighborhoods of interest, was really upfront about the process, previous strategies used to land a house, and overall great energy. On top of it all, Larissa has a great network! If you are in the market for a real estate agent, we strongly recommend Larissa, you won't regret it!
I worked w/ Avenue One Residential for several years renting my condo. When I decided to sell, I asked my agent @ Avenue One for a Real Estate Broker referral, and I was given a few names and decided to go with Larissa Sweeney. She knows the business very well and I was very pleased with the end result. My place was staged and on the market & sold in no time. There were multiple offers and Larissa handled it very nicely. She negotiated the best possible price/terms for me, and the entire process was seamless. She is awesome! I would definitely work with her again!
We are SO incredibly thankful to have Larissa assist us in purchasing a weekend getaway in an area we knew very little about. While exploring the property, we nearly walked away and missed out on securing it due to misinformation provided to us from an outside source. Thanks to Larissa's expertise, tenacity, and partnerships we ended up having a flawless purchasing experience and couldn't be more grateful. In addition to Larissa's exceptional knowledge, she was an absolute joy to work with and we highly recommend her for your real estate needs.
Larissa is the best! She was patient, knowledgeable, organized, and on top of every detail. She also gently talked me out of a bunch of stupid first-time-seller concepts I had, which would have cost me money in the long run. She over-delivered and I couldn't be happier with her as my real estate agent. To put a topping in the cake, she's also really cool and fun. If you are looking for a professional to be on your side and help guide you through the complicated process of buying or selling a home, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone better. Stop looking and just hire her, already.
Larissa is truly exceptional. We've been working with her for several years and couldn't be happier with her professionalism and communication. Her approach is engaging, collaborative, and strategically driven and she's very clear and prompt in her replies. Plus she's really fun! We've worked on three properties with Larissa and highly recommend and support her.
Larissa worked tirelessly with me to find just the perfect home in exactly the location that I wanted. She is extremely professional, courteous, and has a strong knowledge of the current real estate market. Larissa is also very thorough and detail oriented. She is truly one of the best real estate agents I have ever worked with.

We had an amazing experience with Larissa, she was very knowledgeable with the surrounding area on what related homes were selling at and the strengths/weaknesses of the market. She was always responsive and always picked up the phone when I called and answered every question I had (basic and complicated questions). Larissa also had great ideas such as staging my townhome which I was hesitant at first but trusted her judgement and it paid off tremendously. I would recommend Larissa to any family, friend or stranger that is looking to buy or sell a home. Top notch service and very friendly. The BEST experience I have had selling or buying a home.
We were new to the Seattle area and were looking for an investment property. Larissa was referred to us by her broker and we were glad that we had Larissa representing us because she knows the hot Seattle real estate market very well. We were looking at a few areas and had certain needs for our investment property. Larissa listened and understood our needs and she was able to help us find a property that met our needs. The whole real estate experience was seamless with Larissa as our real estate agent. She was really on top of things helping us with negotiations with the listing broker and loan agent as well as assisting with the home inspection. We could not have closed the deal without her close attention to details.
There are many great real estate agents out there and we feel Larissa is definitely one of those special ones. We highly recommend Larissa as a real estate agent and will definitely look her up again if we need to purchase or sell a property.
Thank you Larissa – you’re the best!
I've purchased several homes with Larissa as my agent and I wouldn't go to any other! She's kind, straightforward, efficient, responsive and goes the extra mile to make sure you have the information you need. she has incredible local knowledge and has referred many contractors for me even after purchases that have worked really well. I will continue to have her as my agent on any future home purchase in the Seattle area and I highly recommend her.
Larissa is a fantastic realtor. From the first day she came to our house to the day we moved - she was there for us. If you had any question along the way she was there to answer the question and if she did not know the answer would find out and get back to you. She explained things in layman's terms so you could understand!
When we decided to buy a home we got a hold of Larissa. She proved to be an apt real estate agent. She sent us information, updates, got us in touch with terrific inspectors, electricians, etc. and made the hunt for the perfect home enjoyable. She's amazing and we wouldn't have been able to do it without her. Her personable, affable style makes her a joy to work with. You would be hard pressed to find someone better to represent you.
I worked with Larissa during July and August 2020 while I was buying my first house. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Larissa and I would highly recommend her as a Real Estate Agent. She made the stressful process extremely easy and helped me find my dream home. She had excellent communication and responded to all of our questions right away. Her market knowledge and customer service was far above anything we could have expected.
Larissa has been a friend of mine for years and I knew she was the perfect realtor for my first home purchase. Her expertise and advice of the downtown market was priceless. She was very patient and maintained great communication throughout the entire process. She understood exactly what my needs and desires were for my first home and I was able to purchase exactly what I wanted. Larissa was amazing to work with and I highly recommend her!
Larissa's knowledge of the high-flying Seattle real estate market, neighborhoods, and all issues pertaining to home buying and home ownership make her the perfect realtor as well as the best manager we could have hoped to find. As long as she is working in the industry, she will be our go-to for all our real estate needs.
Thanks so much Larissa for all you do!
Larissa helped me and my wife buy our West Seattle house and also helped sell our Klee condo in Belltown. Larissa worked incredibly hard on both of our deals and was extremely responsive to any of our questions or requests. She was very attuned to the latest market conditions and provided us with straightforward and honest advice. At no time did we feel pressured to buy or sell or for that matter follow her advice exactly (we did anyways). We were especially happy with the results of our sale of the Klee condo and the strategy Larissa helped employ. We had multiple offers over ask and even received offers over our "extremely happy" price. No doubt Larissa will be helping us in the future with our real estate transactions.
Larissa provided us with absolutely phenomenal service in our search and purchase of a new home. She excelled in communication, attention-to-detail, strategy, and professionalism. We relied on her over a multi-year period and simply could not be happier with Larissa as our agent. We highly recommend Larissa and want to thank her for all of her help and support!
Thanks for holding my hand throughout the whole process since I had NO idea what I was doing! You're the best. Thanks so much Larissa for taking such good care of me all these years!
I've worked with Larissa a number of times. In each case, she has been incredibly responsible, resourceful, and has paid as much attention to detail as anyone could ask for.
