We were very lucky to have worked with Renee again while selling our home recently. She is honest, trustworthy, and a total pro. Renee took the time and care before hand sharing her knowledge to help us get our home ready for sale. She has the real experience and earned instinct it takes to land on the correct listing price -The house sold immediately well over the listed price, which was a welcome surprise. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Renee and Kelsey. They made the whole process feel easy and fun. Thank you!

Renee is the most amazing realtor we have ever dealt with. She is very sharp, very experienced, and, when any challenges emerged, Renee was able to provide a realistic and expedient solution that solved the problem and enabled us to sell our house for way over asking in 2 days. She knows this process inside and out, she is a shrewd negotiator, and she provided advice at every step of the way that enabled us to be successful.She is also incredibly professional and responsive. When we had any issue we would often get a response from her in 5 minutes.My wife and I have both said many times how fortunate we were to have worked with Renee.

Renee and her team are outstanding. She closed a home sale for me in 2024 and she made the process so easy and seamless. It was a no brainer to use her again for my recent home purchase. She is down to earth, thorough, and her team makes everything very straightforward.

Working with Renee Vanous from The Vanous group at Windermere was an absolute pleasure! The entire process was one of the smoothest transactions we’ve ever experienced. Renee was incredibly responsive, even answering our after hours text, which made us feel truly taken care of every step of the way. Her dedication, expertise and commitment to her clients are unmatched. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received and would highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a seamless real estate experience.

I was pleasantly surprised by Renee. So kind yet so professional. She didn’t seem to mind that I called her very often. Sometimes with ( probably) stupid questions but she didn’t seem to mind. She patiently walked me through everything. I tell everyone I can about her . Thanks Renee 😊

We worked with Renee on an estate sale. Our hearts were broken but her gentle, guiding expertise made the experience as painless as it could be, considering. She listened to the wishes of our loved one and explained how we could best honor their wishes and make a great sale.

Renee is awesome. You will not find a better representative of your needs. She’s a fantastic listener. One of her super powers is using her deep market expertise to translate your vision into your next dream home. She exceeded my expectations in every way. I always want her and her team on my side. They say buying a new home is in the top 5 most stressful events in your life. My seller was on a tight timeline and everything had to be perfect the first time. Despite the urgency of the situation, the Vanous Group made my last purchase feel like sailing the glassy waters of the Caribbean. Not only did they take care of everything, they also looked around corners and always had my interests prioritized. If you’re looking for a Broker with a personal touch, decades of experience and heaps of satisfied (& repeat) customers, reach out to Renee Vanous. I love coming home. I know I couldn’t have landed here without Renee’s expertise and the support of her team. Thanks Vanous Group for the tiny pleasant heart tugs I feel each time I pull in.

Renee is my agent of choice for myself, my family, and my clients. Renee really knows our communities, studies market dynamics, and has been a terrific and tough negotiator for us. We were able to put our house quickly on the market and get above market price, due to her strong network. She always puts her clients first and that is evident by her excellent reputation in our community and client referrals she receives. There is no one else I would recommend more.

Renee is absolutely the best realtor anybody could ever have. She is so amazing in every way and makes the whole process so easy! Because of her, we got to purchase our dream house and we could not be happier! I would give her a million stars out of five if I could!

Renee is the real estate agent of your dreams! She is experienced, smart, personable, thorough, efficient, readily available, easy to work with and fun! She has an incredible, experienced network of contractors that made our move from California to Washington State as seamless as possible. She is by far the best real estate agent we have met thus far. Five stars is not a high enough rating for this wonderful human being. Full Disclosure, we are not related and this was our first transaction together. I recommend her to all I come in contact with; no reservations. Renee also surrounds herself with a fabulous support team, again always available. While there are always bumps along the road I would recommend her to family and friends and know they would be in great and loving hands.

Selling and buying homes can be a very stressful experience, but it doesn’t have to be. We recently did both with Renee Vanous, and her absolute powerhouse team, and the experience was incredible. The excellent communication from Renee and her amazing team at Sotheby’s, Teresa Jamieson and team at WFG Title, and Alicia Hoare and Team at Movement Mortgage made both processes far smoother than we could have hoped for. Each Team was well organized, worked incredibly hard on our behalf, and showed a genuine concern for us obtaining our dream home. A special shout out as well to Joe Schreiner at Sage Home Inspection who is knowledgeable, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. Thanks to Renee and this incredible group of humans, we were able to sell our Issaquah home (of 20+ years) and move to our dream property in North Bend. We are so grateful for the part they all played in this next phase of our lives. We never had to wonder where we were in either process (sale or purchase) and knew that we were in good hands. Thank you, Sotheby’s, WFG Title, and Movement Mortgage!

Renee is the BEST agent ever! She is amazing and every way and I can't recommend her enough. This was my first time buying a home, and she made me feel so safe and comforatable, answered all of my questions, and was just genuinely the best and so kind in every way! Once again, I cannot recommend her enough! I wish everybody had the chance to not only work with somebody this amazing, but also know somebody this amazing in their lives!
