Ali and her team recently handled both the sale of my existing residence and my purchase of a new home. Every aspect of my sale and purchase transactions were executed flawlessly - from the soundness of her suggestions and recommendations, to the insights and clarity of her answers to my questions, to the thoroughness of her preparations, she made these the easiest and smoothest transactions I've ever experienced. Ali is the consummate professional. Ali/Windermere also have a group called Windermere Transaction Services, which tracks every phase and step of the selling and purchase transactions. Every Friday afternoon I received an email from them with updates of every aspect of each transaction broken out by task, person responsible, due date for completion of task, progress of task, and next steps. Needless to say, any "who's doing what and when" questions and worries I might have had were always answered in that email. It was the perfect roadmap, as it kept me consistently informed and calm. I can't recommend Ali enough. Her competency, professionalism, integrity, personability, and project management skills are second to none. If I had known Ali earlier in life, I would have had her handle every one of my real estate transactions. John Kerr

Ali Mills (Windermere Real Estate) helped my family and I throughout our relocation process from The East Coast to The Pacific Northwest. Ali was very professional from start to finish. She carried us along every step of the way and treated us like family, which we hold at a very high esteem. Ali uses a state-of-the-art technology and tool in her business dealings which made our relocation process seamless. She overcame barriers and roadblocks as we journeyed through difficult times in our quest to find a befitting home. She does not hold back in telling the truth even when she knows that's not what we want to hear. Even though our relocation relationship has ended; our like-minded and like-family relationship will continue. I recommend Ali Mills (Windermere Real Estate) to anyone who's out there in need of a Real Estate Agent; you will not regret it. 100% to Ali.

It was a pleasure working with Ali to list our home in Issaquah WA. We really appreciated how she walked us through every step of the process and answered all of our questions. She also provided fantastic recommendations regarding what to do and who to work with as we prepared the house to go on the market. Working with Ali took much of the stress out of the process while also achieving our target timeframe for moving out of the home. So glad we had the opportunity to work with her!!

As a first-time homebuyer, I was understandably nervous about selecting a home and making one of my biggest investments! I'm so glad I chose Ali Mills as my real estate agent. First and foremost, I appreciate her patience and understanding. Buying a first home was an emotional journey for me. Ali listened to my concerns, and made me feel heard and supported. I was able to trust Ali with this journey and that helped to relieve my anxieties. She was honest and up front in each stage of the process. There were no surprises, and Ali provided me with all the information I needed to make informed decisions. Ali was also through and resourceful. She advocated for my needs and went above and beyond when it came to researching questions or tracking down estimates for repair. Her knowledge and contacts were a great help throughout the process. Finally, I didn't realize how much the agent does after you find the right house! I was impressed with Ali's ability to move through all the steps, along with her tenacity and knowledge. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Ali again, or to recommend her to anyone else feeling nervous about the home-buying process. She is also witty and personable. Now that I have my new amazing house, I really miss talking to Ali!

I hired Ali Mills to sell my large Bellevue home and to help me buy a smaller home in Maple Valley. She was exceptional! I went through a recent divorce and needed to downsize but was very nervous and intimidated to go through the process by myself. She took care of everything and it all went very smoothly. She advised on when and how to market so I got top dollar and she was super helpful in the buying of my new home as well. She had all the best contractors, cleaners, referrals, etc. and took care of things that I didn't know where or how to get done. She communicated well and was great to work with. I really appreciate and highly recommend her!

I was referred to Ali through Windermere relocation services and she was perfect! I can't say enough. I went through a recent divorce and needed to downsize and was intimidated and nervous about going through the selling and buying process on my own. She held my hand through every step and became a friend. The process went so smoothly and she was great to work around my crazy work schedule. She was spot on with the timing of selling my large Bellevue house to get top dollar and helped me find the perfect smaller home in Maple Valley in the neighborhood I wanted. She helped with needed contractors, referrals, cleaners, appointments, etc. She is the best!

Ali is the consummate professional and extremely knowledgeable. She walked us through the entire process and kept us informed every step of the way. Even after the closing she has remained available in helping us navigate the moving with recommendations. We feel truly fortunate to have found ourselves this wonderful lady!!!

Ali is one of the nicest (and most fun) people you’ll ever meet. Having said that, she is extremely knowledgeable and professional in every way. Our experience with her could not have been better. Her advice was incredibly on point and so valuable in us making a decision on various points. We are so thankful to have found her!!!!!

We had a great experience working with Ali. She was proactive and informed about the market area and went above and beyond to get us into our dream house in a difficult market by directly communicating with selling agents. We never had difficulty reaching her and she maintained regular communication with us even after the sale was closed. She provided lot of contacts for any contractors we needed as well.

Ali was recommended to us by my company's relocation concierge along with a couple other agents (after we had a few non-successes with previous agents we found on our own). She came across as the most organized, proactive, and high-touch. Furthermore, she had the pluses of Windermere: name recognition and an exclusive Buyer Capital relationship. We especially appreciated how Ali: - starts out by getting to know you as a person and your needs & concerns, and therefore helping to figure out what properties address your needs. - worked with our broad geographic search. New to the area but particular about a few things, we were looking in a wide range of neighborhoods and even counties. Ali was accommodating in seeing houses (or finding an associate to see houses) all over with us, including from her home base of Eastside and beyond King County to Kitsap, Island, and Snohomish. - was communicative and candid. Working with Ali and the Buyer Capital program, we were able to buy a house we wanted in an extremely competitive, fast-moving market, under the pressure of our own timeline to move. She also has excellent connections and great taste. She recommended painters (and even a color or two) who were able to paint before our move in and we absolutely love the way they transformed the house interiors to our aesthetic!

Ali was able to successfully negotiate our very unique house by implementing outside of the box ideas. She exceeded our aspirations and expectations by a mile, sold our home in record time and made the process so easy for us. If you’re in need of a knowledgeable realtor who actually listens, please reach out to Ali. You will not be disappointed!

Ali is attentive, knowledgable, and well qualified in the high end market to support either a buyer or a seller in the Washington real estate market. Her attention to detail, along with her super client rapport makes her an easy and natural choice for all our Realtor needs.

Ali was great. We found her after firing another agent. We had a significant list of restrictions in our house hunt. She was able to help us find a house that was more than "acceptable." We ended up looking in an area that was just out of her "home" range. So she didn't know off-hand some of my questions about the area, but always found the answers quickly. She had a great home inspector ready and able to help with the ridiculously urgent pre-offer inspection in this market. Because of her expertise and dedication, we only made one offer on one house. We now own it.

Ali is the trusted advisor you need when you are looking to have all the data and information you need but don't have the time to ask question after question to get there. She has the savvy to anticipate the information you will need and peak around corners so that you can decide what is right for you quickly, or take your time because she completely understands what a personal decision the buying or selling of your home can be. Ali knows the balance between when to act quickly and when to give some space based on the market and/or based on your needs.

Ali is the best. We had an amazing experience working with her to buy a home in an absolutely crazy seller's market. From the first time we met, we felt like we were her priority - she listened to our must-haves and nice-to-haves (as they changed multiple times) and we never felt rushed. She went out of her way to set up showings for us on very short notice. She helped us put together a competitive offer, communicated immediately throughout, and ultimately helped us close on our new home. I cannot recommend her more highly.

This is the 2nd time in 2 years we got to work with Ali as she’d helped us sell our house in Redmond in November of 2019. As expected, she was fantastic to work with in this transaction. There are several attributes that distinguish Ali’s work that my wife and I come to expect and admire, particularly her attention to detail, her timely responses and her knowledge of the market. But above all, it’s her integrity, dependability and trustworthiness that we appreciate the most. Incidentally, this transaction turned out to be a bit unique in that we were able to convince the sellers to do an off-market sales transaction without having an agent. Because of that, Ali had to provide a fair amount of assistance to the sellers all the while still representing us. True to form, Ali was terrific in providing advice to both sides during negotiations and then very meticulously guiding both sides along the escrow process, resulting in a win-win transaction that both parties were very pleased with. It was our pleasure to work with Ali in this transaction, and we look forward to working with her again in the future.

What can I say, Ali was there every step of the way. Over the course of 1 year she took me to a variety of houses/condos until I found the perfect one. She mailed 700 hand addressed flyers to homeowners in my desired neighborhood and from that I bought a house at a good price before it went on the market. I wanted to sell my original house as soon as possible, so 2 weeks later I put my house on the market and it sold in 1 week for $300,000 over the listing house. It can't get better than that. Throughout the whole process she was prompt, thorough and professional. If you are looking for excellent, no nonsense agent who delivers then she is the one!

This is a late review but as they say, better late than never. We just found Ali by chance. I was walking to view a listed home when I chanced on meeting one of her friends whose daughter is then selling Girl Scout cookies. We were introduced and that started it all. Ali is very responsive. Whenever we texted/emailed her about a property we find interesting, she would send us details, her expert insight of the property, and when possible, arrange a viewing. She would tell us what is good and not-so-good about a property we are interested in. I remember, for one property which I personal like, she said "This is a very nice property, yes. But this I will tell you that when you tell me in the future 'Ali, we want you to sell the house.' I will be honest there might be some challenges as it is near a busy road, which some people might not like." This home we now live was a last-minute viewing (last day and hour). We got it for a reasonable price. We are very grateful to her helping us acquire this home.

We have bought 3 homes and Ali was a professional who earnestly listened to what my wife and I wanted and really helped us find our perfect home. She was tenacious and always in our corner and guided us through the Seattle area real estate market. I would highly recommend Ali and absolutely someone you want on your team when buying or selling in the Seattle area.

Ali has done an excellent job with the sale of our home. She went above and beyond to ensure the entire process was as stress free as possible for us. She was very understanding of our circumstances, and helped us with everything we needed to get through the sale. I would highly recommend anyone to work with Ali.

It was great working with Ali on the purchase of a rental property. We were buying outside of her normal area of coverage, but she was very willing to jump in the care and go look at houses, as well as do the needed market analysis. We were buying over a period when she had a pre-planned 5 day vacation. While she was away, she had a partner agent take great of us. Very smooth experience.

Ali is fantastic! Not only is she friendly, easy to work with but she also takes the time to explain to you about the process to ensure there is no confusion. And if there is (which there was as new home buyers) she took the time to teach us what everything meant and helped guide us into purchasing a home that was perfect for us. I will definitely recommend Ali and whenever we decide to sell our home we will be working with Ali again. You will not be disappointed with her strong work ethic and kind demeanor. Thank you again Ali!

Simply put, Ali far exceeded our expectations in every aspect of her service. She is highly knowledgeable of local real estate market trends, extremely thorough and responsive in her follow-ups, and very savvy and experienced in developing and executing a sales plan aimed at delivering results. Within a week of our house being listed, we had a buyer under contract and then were able to close the deal on time at 99.4% of our asking price. Above all, Ali is a consummate professional who is highly ethical, exceedingly trustworthy and extremely thoughtful. My wife and I feel very fortunate to have found someone of her caliber and character as our advisor and would definitely plan to enlist her service again in the future.

Ali was highly professional, straight-forward, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She was always available right away to answer any questions or concerns. She also came through when some minor issues arose last minute, and was able to make sure the sale closed on time. We are highly pleased with her service, and would highly recommend her to friends and family.

Ali was great, driving proactive communication throughout, and really came through with some last min contract complexities that could have killed the sale.

Ali helped us with a purchase recently and she was AMAZING!! Very knowledgeable about the process and made herself available to answer questions for us at any time, day or night. In addition, she went out of her way to make sure we got the best deal possible and truly had our best interests at heart. What else can I say? She was terrific to work with. I couldn't recommend anyone better to help with your next Real Estate transaction.
