Fariba Badakhshan Real Estate

Fantastic experience: I had the privilege of working with Fariba on a transaction in Orting. She represented the Buyer and I represented the Seller.

I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Fantastic experience: For many, buying property is a significant emotional and financial undertaking. It's a wonderful bonus when the people guiding you through this process become trusted friends and advisors. The greatest testament to such a relationship is choosing the same individuals for a subsequent purchase. This recounts our experience working with Phillipa, who, with her partner Fariba, helped us secure another excellent investment. As delighted repeat investment buyers, we found Phillipa and her partner Fariba to be an exceptional team, once again surpassing our expectations. Their entire group delivered outstanding communication throughout the entire process. They demonstrated impressive diligence, raising crucial questions we ourselves would have overlooked. We were truly lost and couldn't have navigated this without their expertise. For anyone seeking remarkable real estate agents for buying a primary home or investment property, or for selling a home, we wholeheartedly recommend these ladies.

Fantastic experience: Working with Fariba was an absolute pleasure! Her knowledgeable agent insights into the real estate market gave me and my husband confidence buying our first home. Once we told her the style of house we were looking for, she set up some filters for us so we could start seeing some interesting offerings in Seattle and surrounding areas. Unlike other agents, Fariba truly cared about our unique situation. Her customer service was unmatched, tailoring her search to fit our lifestyle and budget. Her reliability was crucial during the closing stages; she accurately predicted the amount and conditions that would establish us as the best offer among competitors, ensuring a smooth final transaction for us. If you’re looking for a phenomenal agent who understands the local market, we highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: It’s been wonderful working together with Phillipa and Fariba, and the whole team they curated through their partnerships— everyone we have worked with has been awesome. The whole process was very smooth from start to finish, from the showings, the offer strategy conversations, and the time they took to thoroughly answer any questions we had along the way. We also particularly appreciated the credits that our agents negotiated for us! We are very happy new first-time homeowners and would highly recommend these two fantastic agents to help make your home buying process stress free and rewarding!

We’re delighted with our new home and are looking forward to our next chapter. We would highly recommend them to anyone!

Fantastic experience: We could not have been luckier to have been referred to Phillipa and Fariba by a colleague and friend at work. As first-time home buyers, we had always been a bit scared about what seemed like a very daunting task, but working with Phillipa, Fariba, and their team made every step of the process effortless, from looking at multiple homes with our desired specs, making an offer, getting into escrow, and finally closing on a new construction home we could not be happier with. They were always quick and ready to thoroughly respond to any of our calls or texts for any of our questions or concerns (and we had many). We highly recommend them if you are looking for an excellent experience!

They supported throughout starting with education on the home buying process, connecting us with great mortgage agent, search , offer and final closing. Their support continues even after closing with referrals for anything we need done in the house

Fantastic experience: What an incredible experience from start to finish! We connected with the powerful duo from the very start and appreciated their client-centric approach, listening and adjusting our home search, and providing real-time market data, as needed. Throughout the home buying process, Phillipa and Fariba were incredibly communicative, promptly answering all calls and emails, keeping us informed of every development. Their ability to clearly explain complex contract details was particularly helpful. Thankfully, due to their negotiation skills, we were able to close on our dream home only slightly above asking price! We’re very happy!

Fantastic experience: Fariba was a key member of the team who helped us sell in a tough market and at the wrong time of year. She and the rest of the team made it happen, which included special handling, trips to the property, and research for potential buyers.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely thrilled with our experience with Fariba and Phillipa! From the very start, their responsiveness was incredible—always getting back to us within minutes and making themselves available at all times. They treated us like family, patiently guiding us through every step of the home buying process with thorough explanations and genuine care. As first-time homebuyers, we felt completely supported. They provided honest assessments of properties, ensuring we avoided homes that required more work than we were ready for. Their expertise and strategy helped us secure our perfect home in Kenmore, even beating out multiple offers, and we still managed to purchase under the asking price! Fariba and Phillipa's dedication and professionalism made what could have been a stressful experience truly enjoyable. We couldn’t be happier with our new home and are immensely grateful for their assistance. We will definitely be recommending them to our friends and colleagues. Thanks again, ladies!

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Fariba and her business partner Phillipa, as the buyer agent counterparts on my recent real estate listing and sale. Fariba was very professional, respectful, great at communication following up on items needed and we were able to do the closing in 10 days! I hope to have the opportunity to work with Fariba again!

Fantastic experience: I am unable to express my gratitude enough to Fariba and her team for their exceptional professionalism and reputation. In my case, their assistance made all the difference between a good deal and a stellar one. Additionally, her extensive network and impeccable reputation facilitated the closing process, despite some personal setbacks I faced with my lender. Fariba and her team were always prompt and efficient, ensuring that everyone involved in the closing process was held accountable. My first big project would not have been possible without her, and I am sincerely thankful that I contacted her through Zillow. Looking back, I consider it to be a stroke of luck. Thank you to Fariba and her team for making the home buying experience a valuable lesson, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to do business with you again!

Fantastic experience: I wanted to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your exceptional assistance during the purchase of my new home. Your expertise, dedication, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I am truly grateful for your guidance and professionalism.

Fantastic experience: A great experience! After an initial phone conversation with Phillipa and Fariba, we saw an property together. They coached us on the process for competing in a multiple offer situation, which was helpful as we did end up competing. The ladies negotiated hard on our behalf and we were closed and new owners of a Bellevue home in only 12 days. They communicated where we were during every step during the escrow process and we felt well informed. Would highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: What’s the chance we would be introduced to these two amazing women through their online marketing efforts? We hit it off immediately and were impressed with how well they listened, how quickly they picked up what we were searching for, and started presenting us with homes that fit our criteria well. We enjoyed searching and strategizing offers together and through them, we learned about the current market and what constitutes a strong offer. We love our new home…it’s perfect for our needs, and we know that being the winning bid in a multiple offer environment would not have been possible without their guidance, patience, and strong negotiation skills. Of course, the personal touch with the curated welcome basket and their sense of fun along the journey were added bonuses too. We would highly recommend these ladies, hands-down!

Fantastic experience: Buying a Bellevue home was not our first real estate transaction. Suffice it to say, we’ve experienced other real estate professionals over the years, and no one gets close to the level of technical detail, focus, patience and market knowledge as these two partners. They helped us negotiate a great price on our Bellevue home purchase, as we upsize our real estate portfolio. We would highly recommend Fariba and Phillipa. They each bring something different to the table and for that we are very grateful.

Fantastic experience: I had a great time working with Fariba Badakhshan on our recent real estate mutual transaction. I have to say that I've never commented on my experience working with an opposing broker in my 23-year real estate career until now. We all know that we are in a different real estate market, given the high interest rates. However, there is still a tight housing inventory, which makes our job extremely difficult on so many levels. For some newer agents, it's unprecedented to find an acceptable compromise for both parties, meaning the seller and the buyer. Fariba's ability to consider both sides of the equation is what really sets her apart from many of our colleagues. In short, she is a great communicator, facilitator, and follows through on her commitments to make transactions smooth without compromising the quality of her client's representation. Anyone working with Fariba can be assured that she is looking after her client's interests first and foremost!

Fantastic experience: As an agent working on the other side of the deal, Fariba was excellent to work with. Organized, great communication, and helped close a deal that was on thin ice. Thank you for your hard work. Let's do it again sometime in the future!

Fantastic experience: Fariba and Phillipa helped our family find our first home, and we certainly couldn’t have done it without them. They attentively listened to our needs, and always gave their honest opinion regarding the homes we were considering. We greatly appreciated their quick responsiveness and willingness to move around their own schedules to accommodate our requests. We highly recommend Fariba and Phillipa to any other home buyers out there!

Fantastic experience: Hi Janet!!! My sister worked with Phillipa 8 years ago, when she purchased and sold two properties. I’m super grateful she introduced me to Phillipa, and her partner Fariba. I started working with them a year ago, while still living in California, and was able to keep abreast of the market from afar. Between the two partners, I had all my questions patiently and thoroughly answered, and my needs more than well met, (including transportation to and from the home and bank!). I can’t wait to move into my townhome, and would highly recommend these two ladies. They are great people and stellar agents.

Fantastic experience: They really have their act together. They did what they say they would do in record time. Even though we ultimately ended up choosing to sell directly to a builder, my family and I would highly recommend these two Realtors, Fariba and Phillipa. It was a pleasure getting to know the ladies and we really appreciated the time they put into their presentation, their positive, upbeat energy, and professionalism. It has been a pleasure working with them.

Fantastic experience: Fariba was really a pleasure to work with. She had great communication, was extremely professional, clean paperwork, and represented her client's interests very well. Working with agents like her on the other side makes the process very seamless and smooth. I've found that there are three types of agents; part-time, full-time, and over-time. The difference between the three is how much they value relationships. Fariba is an over-time agent. Absolutely no doubt about it. I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again in the future. She was excellent! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fantastic experience: Great communication, easy to work with. Very professional!

Fantastic experience: Fariba did an outstanding job helping us sell our home. She along with Phillipa are a great team. What makes them awesome is their attention to detail, diligence, and overall great handling of any unforeseen situations. They helped us sell our home in a record time of 4 days in a market where homes were taking at least a month to sell. Fariba was on top of everything and helped us make the right decision. When it came to buying a new home Fariba and Phillipa worked through the night to get us a contract and send it to the agent. We were in contract the next day without any back and forth with the seller agent. If you are in the market to either buy or sell a home contact Fariba and Phillipa right away!

Fantastic experience: Here's to a fantastic transaction with Fariba and the team! From pre-offer communications, to negotiations, expectations and the closing process, Fariba was always responsive, conscientious and a true pleasure to work with. Buyer and seller couldn't be happier with the outcome... thank you Fariba and team!

Fantastic experience: Fariba was a pleasure to work together on a recent transaction. While focusing on her clients needs, Fariba wanted to find the best resolution for both sides. Fariba has strong communication skills & works hard for the best outcome. I look forward to the next opportunity working together.

Fantastic experience: Smooth Transaction! It was a pleasure to work with Fariba and her business partner Phillipa on a recent real estate transaction. She was professional, organized, and timely throughout the entire process. Certainly hope our paths cross again in the future.

Fantastic experience: I was a first time home-buyer and just relocated to the Seattle area a year ago with the slight intention to buy a house and settle here. I am so grateful to have had Fariba and Phillipa's support throughout the whole home-buying process! I literally knew nothing about how process works, especially in a hyper competitive market like Seattle. They carefully guided my through several inspection reports to make sure I understood all the key elements and how to evaluate how high the actual selling price may go. All questions were promptly answered, even on nights and weekends. When we were absolutely torn as to whether to put an offer on house A or B one weekend, Fariba had a long call with me to discuss the pros/cons, and when ultimately our offer on house A was just barely outbid, she immediately went to work putting together an offer on house B, and literally within 3 hours that offer was submitted and we won! It literally couldn't have happened without their teamwork, communication, and dedication. I am so grateful to have worked with these two ladies!

Fantastic experience: An absolute pleasure to work with. Extremely professional.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Fariba as a real estate agent who almost immediately understood what I was looking for in a lifestyle - and in a home. Fariba showed me a number of houses over the course of several months and couldn't have been more patient with me. The home buying process can be grueling; however, Fariba was with me every step of the way and even helped navigate some tricky processes with the seller's relocation company. Thank you, Fariba!

Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure to have a cross sale with Fariba and her business partner, Phillipa. They are a fantastic team. In addition to being professional and respectful, they are collaborative and committed. Real estate transactions can be complicated and when we ran into a snag, we worked together to help our clients resolve the issue and go on to a successful, on-time closing. I hope to have the opportunity to work with them again!

Fantastic experience: We reached out to Phillipa and Fariba, and they got us in to see our home of interest right away. It turned out it was our dream home with gardens and on acreage and we were under contract within 24 hours! We were lucky to be partnering with these two ladies, and were impressed with their level and speed of communication. They handled a potential title problem with ease and grace; and helped walk us through the process, from meeting to contract to close. For sure we would recommend Team Phillipa & Fariba.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I were looking for an investment property and were lucky enough to meet the power team of Fariba and Phillipa early on in our search. They were extremely responsive and answered every text and question immediately . We located a property that we loved and they were able to draw up an offer that same night ! They were able to negotiate an excellent deal for us and with lightening speed we were under contract and close the deal in under one week! We were very impressed with these ladies knowledge , speed and friendliness and will definitely use them again if we decide to expand our real estate portfolio. Two thumbs up :-)

Fantastic experience: Fariba is a wonderful agent to work with! She is communicative, kind, knowledgeable and works with a team spirit, moving everyone to the goal: a successful sale/purchase for her clients and yours! I can't wait to work with Fariba again!

Fantastic experience: An excellent experience! Fariba and Phillipa scrambled after hours to get me in to see a condo that just went on the market that day. They helped me write a competitive offer that was accepted and under contract the following day! They are an amazing team. Communicative, Friendly, Professional, and handled everything gracefully. I definitely recommend these two.

Fantastic experience: We love Phillipa and Fariba! They are a fantastic team who were always available, knowledgable, and patiently showed us many homes on the Eastside. Not to mention that they were both very charming and fun to spend time with! They always came prepared with all the information we needed on each home and impressed the heck of us. We highly recommend Phillipa and Fariba and will be referring them to all our friends.

Fantastic experience: Fariba was a pleasure working with selling a listing of mine, Fariba was very thorough and on top of every step involving the transaction. Thank you for a smooth closing.

Fantastic experience: Another great experience! This was our second time working with this dynamic duo! The first time they helped us buy our dream home and held our hands, and walked us through the complete process. This time around, they sold our existing home for a great price in a rapidly softening market. We listened carefully to their recommendations for work to be done in preparation for selling, and their advice was right on! We are so happy with these ladies and now consider them a part of our family. We would 100% recommend them, both on the buying and listing sides of any transaction!

Fantastic experience: Another awesome experience for my third home sale with Phillipa! She was phenomenal three years ago when she walked me through the process of selling two investment properties in Bothell WA, and I didn’t hesitate to call on her expertise again for the sale of my primary home. She is a calming influence and helped take things off my plate before I even felt the potential overwhelm. I learned I could trust her and her judgment early on, and that if I listened to her recommendations, things went very smoothly indeed. Once again, she, and her partner Fariba, got top dollar on my home, even as the real estate market was correcting downwards. Together the ladies and their crew staged the home beautifully and recommended efficient and cost-effective crews to complete the necessary work in preparation to sell. If I could bring them with me to Tennessee, I would! Phillipa and Fariba are a top-notch team! If you need a powerful team to consult, strategize, stage and sell your primary and/or investment home, these ladies are the bees-knees!

Fantastic experience: Fariba was such a pleasure to work with. We had a spent many hours on the phone together throughout the transaction and she was very professional and worked extremely hard for her buyers. I truly hope that we will get to work together again on a future transaction.

Fantastic experience: It was a really great experience working with Fariba and Phillipa! We met Fariba at open home and connected right away. Both ladies were responsive, available, and there for us from the very beginning, providing insights on the market and homes that fell into our search criteria. Between the two ladies, they took really good care of us from the beginning to closing. We will be recommending Fariba and Phillipa to our friends, for sure.

Fantastic experience: We were casually looking for a home when we met Fariba at an open house. She seemed to understand the situation that we were in…new to the area and wanted to figure out what area was right for us. We set the pace. She faithfully sent us listings and was available to whenever we wanted to see one of them. She was encouraging when we put in our bids…and when our bids weren’t accepted, she kept us motivated. Above all? She’s just the sweetest and kindest.

Fantastic experience: I just finished a transaction with Fariba and her team. If you are looking for someone that is detail oriented and cares genuinely about her clients and their experience, look no further. I appreciated her grace and patience as we moved through from offer to closing.

Fantastic experience: Fariba was a pleasure to work with on my recent listing. Throughout the entire transaction Fariba represented her clients extremely well. Her communication was first class from the initial conversation throughout the closing. I look forward to working with Fariba again in the future!

Fantastic experience: Fariba and her team were a pleasure to work with. Her buyer competed against more than a dozen other offers my sellers considered. One of the reasons we chose her offer was Fariba’s communication. I knew that with her on the other side of the transaction, we would get it closed, with minimum hassles.

Fantastic experience: In a competitive seller's market, Fariba earned five stars. She presented a clean, well written and competitive offer and maintained her communication and follow through during the entire transaction. It was a pleasure working with her and her business partner, Phillipa. Fariba is professional, organized and I greatly appreciated her quick responses. Assuring a smooth transaction on her clients behalf, she was timely and cooperative. It would be a pleasure to work with this team in the future.

Fantastic experience: A dynamic duo! When we started our home hunting, Fariba and Phillipa functioned as a team and were very responsive, always available to answer all our questions and keep us informed about the major milestones along the way. They efficiently and calmly helped us schedule appointments to see homes, even in a crazy hot market where home-touring appointments were hardly available ! They patiently explained the buying process with us as first time home buyers. In a highly competitive market, they negotiated hard and helped us win the bid for our home, competing with 19 other offers! We love our new home this team of Fariba and Philippa had a big role in making our dream come true ! My spouse and I highly recommend these two ladies! Amazing experience with these stellar agents!

Fantastic experience: Fariba did an amazing job representing her Buyer on my listing in Mill Creek. It is a very competitive housing market for Buyers right now and her clients were very lucky to be working with such an outstanding Broker. She structured her clients offer perfectly and secured the home over multiple competing offers from other Buyers. Having a Broker like Fariba is MUST in this fast paced, competitive market. She takes excellent care of her clients and was a joy to work with.

Fantastic experience: We worked with Fariba to purchase a number of investment properties in 2021. As an investor, our needs and expectations were different relative to a typical home buyer. Fariba exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Each new transaction was better, smoother than the last. She helped us analyze and locate the perfect investment opportunity in our chosen geographic area, pulled in the resources from her team to answer any questions or information we were seeking that wasn't readily available. Her communication and speed is phenomenal. I emphasize speed because in the Northwest housing market, you either move fast or you lose the deal. Her expertise helped us win against a number of other offers! She is willing to go the extra mile to ensure we were successful. She come highly recommended by us!

Fantastic experience: Fariba, is so professional and really cares about her clients. Whether she is working with a first time home-buyer or a high price point listing or buyer. She is always available to answer questions and will go above and beyond for each person. She really really knows how to communicate and build rapport with the listing Agents, so her buyer's have a better chance on getting the offer accepted. I love working with her, she is always so positive and overall does an amazing job from beginning to end for her clients! You are in the best of hands with Fariba!

Fantastic experience: Fariba did a phenomenal job. We found and secured a place that checked all my standards within a months time. The communication throughout was prompt and helpful and without her advise I am sure I would not have closed and secured this deal. Also a shoutout to her teammate Philippa; together they are a power duo. I highly recommend anyone consult with Fariba.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Fariba as a realtor to either purchase or sell your home. She is very professional, friendly, extremely responsive, and provides services above and beyond other local realtors. The process was very smooth and efficient! Thank you Fariba for doing an incredible job!

Fantastic experience: Fariba was an absolute pleasure to work with. She made what could have been the most stressful time in our lives actually enjoyable. We were first time home buyers and Fariba was amazing at educating us on every single aspect of home buying. She is extremely quick to respond to all messages and requests. She’s very professional and her personality makes it easy to work with her. She was spectacular at using her professional knowledge and experience to get the most competitive offer. I feel extremely comfortable after going through the process with Fariba, which is a feeling I'm so grateful for! I highly recommend Fariba for any and every part of the home buying process. Thank you for helping us find our dream home!
