Chris Byler Real Estate

Fantastic experience: I have been sitting on writing this recommendation about Chris Byler because he is just that good. I find myself almost stumped trying to describe how wonderful he is. My brother would often talk about his agent, Chris, and I remember thinking, Wow. He would tell me how Chris prepares a home for sale and includes for example, a pre-inspection, home warranty, house and window cleaning, handyman work, staging, as part of his commission. I remember thinking, That has never been my experience. So, when it came time for us to sell our home, we chose Chris. We were selling during an incredibly stressful time in our lives, and I could not have imagined a more calm, kind, and steady person to guide us through it. Chris is professional, communicative, thoughtful, detail-oriented, an exceptional negotiator, and genuinely invested in his clients. He puts the same care, effort, and preparation into selling your home as he would his own. Our home sold the first weekend and truly shined because of Chris and his incredible team. A month or so later, we hired Chris to sell my parents’ home. My parents had lived there for nearly 40 years. They were emotional and reluctant to leave, and the process was especially difficult as they navigated cognitive decline and the challenges of technology. Chris immediately adapted to what they needed—meeting in person, providing hard-copy documents, communicating clearly, and keeping them regularly updated. Most importantly, he never rushed them. He consistently treated my parents with patience, grace, and dignity. One moment perfectly captures who Chris is: after they signed the Sellers’ Agreement, my mom thanked him for visiting and told him she would let him know when they were ready to move and sell their condo. Rather than correct her or make the moment uncomfortable, Chris simply thanked her for the coffee and told her how much he had enjoyed his time with them. That is Chris. Working with Chris is not transactional. He brings expertise and exceptional preparation, but what sets him apart is the way he treats people. He meets you where you are, takes the stress out of an overwhelming process, and makes you feel genuinely cared for. Chris takes care of the people who are trusting him with their home, their memories, and sometimes one of the biggest transitions of their lives. That is what makes him exceptional—and why I would choose him again without hesitation.

Fantastic experience: Working with Chris Byler has been a great experience. From the very beginning he walked us through every step and handled everything so professionally. He showed us the market analysis and comparisons to help us set the right price. He provided staging, house cleaning and some handyman work. With his expertise we were able to sell the house within 2 days, after 1 open house. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, , proactive agent Chris Byler is the best.

Fantastic experience: A huge thank you to Chris and his team! They helped us sell our Kenmore property while we were living out of state, and they truly went above and beyond. They took care of every detail, including staging and cleaning, making the process completely stress-free for us. Everything was handled perfectly from start to finish. If given the opportunity, we would work with Chris again in a heartbeat!

Fantastic experience: We recently sold our home and had an outstanding experience working with Chris. From start to finish, he demonstrated a high level of experience, knowledge, and organization that made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Chris truly offers a full-service experience. He handled everything from coordinating and covering staging to ensuring our home was presented at its absolute best. His attention to detail and proactive approach made a huge difference in how quickly and successfully our home sold.

Fantastic experience: I recently sold my first home in Snohomish, WA, and working with Chris Byler of Windermere Northlake was an excellent experience from start to finish. As a first-time home seller, I appreciated Chris’s clear guidance, market expertise, and constant communication. His advice on pricing and preparation helped my home sell quickly and smoothly, and his negotiation skills gave me complete confidence in the process. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to sell their home. I have also bought a home with Chris in 2017 and couldnt be happier.

Fantastic experience: I had the opportunity to work with Chris as the Selling agent on a transaction for one of his listings. To say that his professionalism goes beyond a high level would be an understatement! Chris is a dedicated agent who truly cares about the outcome for his clients sake. And he goes the extra mile by caring for the Clients on the other side of the transaction which is rare! 10 out of 10 highly recommend to work with Chris as your real estate agent and that’s coming from another real estate agent! Thanks Chris for all you do! We need more agents like you!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for exceptional professionalism, expert knowledge and decades of experience and a full-service realtor, you will find it with Chris Byler. He is friendly and calm, organized and detail oriented. He communicates clearly and frequently, has patience, and goes above and beyond the usual expectations of working with a great realtor. He is truly full service. He did everything from the usual assessing the value of the home and obtaining comps to obtaining other necessary background and paperwork about the property. To ready the place to be put on the market, he provided a detailed plan in a calendar format, we knew what to expect and when. Chris thinks of everything. He made suggests for improvements to the home but was not pushy. He provided us with 2 bids for interior painters. We used one of them and they were easy to schedule (he did it for us) worked efficiently and did they professional work for a fair price. Next Chris enlisted the services of a cast of essential partners: House cleaners (the usual pre-sale cleaning plus carpet cleaning and window cleaning). A handy man inspected and fixed minor things around the home. Then came the staging company, and finally the photographer and videographer. This was all provided and included in his contract with us. The market was in a place where our home (and others) was not selling fast. He provided weekly activity updates about our showings as well as other similar properties in the area. He was patient and offered good advice, but always leaving final decisions to us. The experience was certainly 5 stars and then some. Chris' personal attention was noticed and very appreciated.

Fantastic experience: Was a great landlord and communicated very well. If there was ever a problem he responded with urgency. Great experience renting from him!

Fantastic experience: This is the third home purchase I’ve made with Chris, and I can say without hesitation: he has walked me through my life. From my very first condo, to a growing family's starter home, and now to the home of my dreams—he’s been by my side for it all. What sets Chris apart isn’t just his market knowledge or professionalism (though those are top-tier). It’s the calm, consistent, and genuinely supportive way he guides you through the most overwhelming moments of real estate. Most recently, we navigated a competitive bump clause scenario, and thanks to his steady hand, we emerged with the house we truly wanted. He laid out our options clearly, handled every twist with grace, and never once made me feel like a bother—even when I had what felt like a million questions and emotions. He’s responsive, thoughtful, strategic, and deeply human. You don’t just get an agent with Chris—you get an advocate. Someone who actually cares. I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with these huge milestones. If you’re lucky enough to work with him, you’ll know exactly what I mean.

Fantastic experience: Have had Chris help me buy 2 houses and the experience couldn't have been better. Responsive, knowledgeable, but not pushy and didn't feel rushed in any way. Definitely recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.

Fantastic experience: Chris recently helped us purchase our first home. Chris was on top of sending us new homes on the market along with market updates. His prompt communication and thoroughness helped make the buying process efficient and stress-free. He was there every step of the way with us and available at all hours - whether it be sending/viewing listings, contacting the seller’s agent, setting up home inspections, giving advice and more! He even offers a complimentary moving truck which was a great perk! We will be sure to reach out to Chris next time we need a realtor!

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Chris as my buyer’s agent, and I couldn’t be more impressed. He was extremely professional, listened carefully to my needs, and offered valuable insights that made finding the right home for us in Bellevue so much easier. Chris was always responsive, organized, and efficient. His knowledge of the market and attention to detail truly set him apart. I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and trustworthy agent.

Fantastic experience: The quality of service, attention to detail and diligence Chris provided us was exceptional. However, what really stood out to us was his demeanor. His calm, never idle, yet never over-worked approach greatly helped to reduce the stress of buying a house.

Fantastic experience: Chris was an incredible realtor to work with throughout the entire process of selling my house! He was patient and made sure we found the best deal for me as the seller. Especially with us not being in Seattle, he made the process easy even if we were from far away. I'd recommend Chris to any friends/family.

Fantastic experience: Chris Byler is one of the rare individuals that I trust completely. He's such a nice honest person. And has helped me immensely in my journey for knowledge in real estate. Thanks Chris!

Fantastic experience: We live in Lynnwood and we needed a sump pump installed and asked Chris for a referral to someone that could do it. I called them to set up an estimate and they were here the next day. Very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Set up an appointment for 2 days later to have the work done. Today their crew just finished installing new sump pump, basin and drainage pipe. Great job! Great workers! Great price! 5 stars across the board. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Chris Byler Real Estate is definitely the place to go for any help with home related needs.

Fantastic experience: Selling a house can be overwhelming. Chris patiently walked me through every step of the way. He did an excellent job in selling my house. His attention to details was outstanding! My house was sold two days after the open house!

Fantastic experience: Chris and his team did amazing job selling our house in Kenmore. We talked with several realtors but after talking to Chris I knew we found the right team. As a seller I wanted to highlight what I loved about the house to help the buyers fall in love with it too and achieve our selling price. Chris was the only realtor I felt actually listened. Chris and his team worked with us on what fixes will improve our chances to sell the house and which ones just aren't worth it, they cleaned the house and did some landscaping that improved the curve appeal of the house. All this work proven successful when we sold our house in 4 days!

Fantastic experience: I can't remember how we met, but Chris has been helping me with questions and information about my house, the market, my mortgage for several years. He's always been very quick to respond, and puts so much time and effort into his responses. I value Chris and this relationship very much. I trust him and can count on him.

Fantastic experience: Chris is such a great guy to talk to on the phone! I've never had the opportunity to meet him but he sends out regular newsletters which I read from beginning to end because they are chock full of good information. Plus he offers a contest in each issue and I've been able to get the answer right a few times over the past number of years and win a $25 gift certificate! His newsletter is seriously worth reading! He's also a wonderful rep in our community. Jo Ann Zerfoss

Fantastic experience: Buying and selling a home can be a very stressful life event. Choosing the right realtor can make all the difference in your experience. Chris Byler is the right realtor to choose. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and always looks out for his customer's best interests. Even after the sale if done (which is often very quickly - he's that good) - Chris continues to keep in touch with his clients through newsletters, monthly trivia contests (with prizes), and quick informative videos about the current market situation. Chris helped us purchase a rental property and we have never regretted working with him. Everyone wants to work with someone they respect who can get the job done. That person is Chris Byler. We highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: He helped me buy my first house. He's personable, kind, knowledgeable, responsive and sends out an excellent newsletter. He's always been there to answer my questions over years. I will use his services again if / when I move again. I was almost sad buying my house because then we couldn't drive around looking at other houses. He is a good egg.

Fantastic experience: Chris Byler (a realtor) helped me with selling my home in Kenmore, WA and buying my condo in Queen Anne, Seattle. Chris is very personable, thoughtful and always available for consultation. He made the two transactions go smoothly. I recommend him without reservations.

Fantastic experience: We used Chris Byler to sell our condo in Kenmore. We are so happy with the service we received as Chris had a wealth of knowledge about everything related to this sale. Chris was kind, professional, and polite always, and quick to respond to contacts. He sent us a thorough update every week, no only on the sale of our home, but on market conditions and other condos that had sold during the week. He held several open houses, which he manned himself. We had some difficult situations come up related to the condo while it was for sale, but we sailed thru them easily with Chris's guidance. Husband and I felt safe and secure while going thru several negotiatons. Despite a crazy and rapidly dropping market at the time, we got a top price that we are very happy with. By wife Candis.

We look forward to a continued relationship with him and his business.

Fantastic experience: Chris Byler is an absolute Rock Star realtor! He sold our home in Kenmore in February of 2023. In all honestly, we can easily say Chris constantly amazed us with his attention to detail in getting the home ready to list on the market. Through Chris’ contacts he was able to make the home shine by bringing in handymen, landscapers, inspectors, cleaning services and staging. The house had never looked so good. In addition to that, we were able to use his large box truck to remove the contents of the home. Wow! The box truck was such a time saver and game changer for us. We totally endorse Chris to be your realtor of choice. We tell everyone what a great experience it was to work with Chris and his team of specialists.

Fantastic experience: I met Chris a few years ago, when my friend was selling her home in Kenmore, WA. Chris was helping her in every sense, making her house open to the market, helped also organize a huge estate stale, and was very supporting in every sense during that house sale. Chris was also selling an other friends home in Redmond, and she also had unparalleled help from Chris. I would certainly ask Chris to sell our condo here on Queen Anne Hill, when the time comes, because I absolutely trust him, he is a good human being. I also like his monthly Newsletters, they have current data about home sales, and many practical advise for sellers, to improve their asking price. It also has many other useful information about our daily life, it is fun to read and participate in his quizzes!

Fantastic experience: Very professional, respectful and inclusive services with a twist of fun and reaching out to a large variety of population and needs. Byler Real Estate is also organizing free community information sessions having in mind the local needs of the community regarding housing, aging, downsizing, etc. Its newsletter keeps the community informed on the trends in the real estate. I wish there were more starter level housing on sale for the young people in our area.

Fantastic experience: NONE

Fantastic experience: I met Chris Byler a number of years ago when I was trying to decide what to do with my parent's home after their passing. Chris was so open and willing to give me the information I needed to make a decision. Even though I didn't sell the house he has continued to be available and helpful whenever I need information dealing with my house. Recently I found out what a wonderful resource he is in providing recommendations for a handyman, carpet cleaner or plumber. I needed my patio roof replaced and wasn't sure where to go. Contacting Chris I have confidences in the work that will be done by his referral. Chris is a real blessing to me. He is friendly and reliable and I trust his opinion.

Fantastic experience: Chris is the best real estate agent we have ever worked with by far. He has helped us either sell or buy 5 houses and was consistently highly professional, friendly, and amazingly helpful. He's helped with arranging painting, repairs, storage, negotiation, open houses, financing, and staging. He is as full service as full service gets. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Chris Byler! I worked with Chris to sell 2 homes and buy 3. At each step along the way, Chris was incredibly reliable, generous, and caring. When I made bad decisions about purchasing, Chris backed me up and got me out of a pickle. When I did not qualify for a home I dearly loved, Chris helped me secure a bridge loan to make it work. Chris showed up at early hours and late at night to show me homes. I am incredibly lucky Chris was there for me during critical transitions in my life. I could not have found a better person to help me buy and sell homes!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Chris Byler to purchase my new home after interviewing multiple Real Estate professionals. Chris' number one priority is to ensure you buy your perfect home. Throughout the process we saw countless homes and in each one, he made sure to call out the architecture decisions that impact utility cost and costs related to home ownership, such as maintenance, location, and general usability to avoid buyer's remorse.

Fantastic experience: Chris Byler is a very professional broker to work with. He communicates well, is knowledgeable, polite, and well mannered. Chris is unique in that he has me go twice to inspect a house he will list. The first time is to catch any issues that may need to be addressed. The second is to inspect any repairs made and document the condition of the property and systems. I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: We greatly appreciated Chris's help and assistance, while he was guiding us through a rather complex purchase of our first property in the Seattle area. We benefited greatly from his expertise in the local real estate market, professionalism, timeliness, flexibility, and positive attitude despite dealing with several pandemic-related challenges. Chris educated us about all the pitfalls and intricacies of choosing the right location and community and about safely navigating through the home buying process.

Fantastic experience: Chris is amazing. He was there from day one. Every question I had was answered promptly. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for professionalism and a willingness to make your sell a smooth experience. Linda Stapish
