John L. Scott Real Estate | Kent North - Kent, Washington

We bought a house recently and the seller was represented by John L Scott agent Natalya Ratko and Reveka Vysotskiy and I have to say they made the home buying process absolutely miserable! The house we purchased was under foreclosure which neither of them ever disclosed and we had to find out thru the title report, the home had to close within about 6 weeks after we initially put in our full price offer or the bank would take the home. Neither Natalya or Reveka ever answered the phone a single time, our agent and lender both would try and reach out to them on what seemed like a daily basis to get things moving and everytime our agent called them it was always replied back with a “busy” or “call you right back” text but they would never actually speak over the phone to our agent or lender. The home ended up having a non conforming deck that was agreed upon to be taken down by seller before closing. They continually lied about having hired a contractor for about a week until they actually had one come out to do the job so that we could close. They lied about the deck being taken down and completed when it hasn’t even been touched. Thank god for our agent Michelle Wallace with Keller Williams for putting in the extra work to drag both seller and agent across the finish line. Because of these terrible agents closing got pushed 2 different times. The contractor who ended up taking down the non conforming deck and replacing a sliding door with a window as it was originally built was referred to by Natalya and Reveka, he did the absolute worst job I think I’ve ever witnessed in my life I’m not even kidding the drywall work on the inside of the house was terrible and already cracked and has paint peeling. They also used the wrong type of siding to patch in the window on the exterior and it’s a giant eye sore not to mention the giant 3 inch hole on the bottom corner of the patch they thought filling with a whole tube of caulking would fix. Oh and the trim on the interior at the base of the drywall is also the wrong size and instead of replacing the whole piece like you would do if it was properly done they opted to nail the mismatched trim right smack dab in the middle of the wall and didn’t even stain it to match the rest of the trim in the house…. If you need someone who will never answer the phone and has absolutely no sense of urgency to get things done for you and are compulsive liars then these are the agents for you!

Dolly (and her husband) as a selling agent is very unresponsive and impossible to work with. We were finally able to close on our house a week ago (with help from a lawyer because of the unresponsiveness) and they still haven't removed the "for sale" sign from the front of our house (it's also still contingent/for sale online) or provided us with working mailbox keys or garage door openers. This is the fourth house that we've purchased (third in the Seattle area) and have never experienced such little regard from a selling or buying agent. If you want to buy a house and keep your sanity, stay far away from the Dolly team!

JLS KN is the best office I've been apart. The support system is 2nd to none! They really give the training and make sure every agent is set up for success. The availability of the wonderful managing brokers to help new agents is a treat. Madilyn is an amazing marketing resource that everyone in the office should utilize. The agents in the office are great as well as the culture of the office has really made me enjoy my time here. Highly Recommend

I have known Lanae Miller Real Estate Agent at John L. Scott in Kent for 16 years. She has so much integrity, knowledge, and tenacity. No one knows her market better than she does. She & her family are 4th generation Seattle area. I found that Lanae was able to fill in the gaps with what I didn't know about the market. Setting the price correctly first is SO important especially in today's market. I didn't want to leave any money on the table. Thank you Lanae for your expertise as a Listing Agent and your ability to work with us on both sides.

We just encountered an incredibly rude agent from John L. Scott Kent North. His name is Joe Llesis.

We attended an open house in West Seattle that he was sitting on behalf of another agent. Joe asked us to “sign in” - we said “we’d prefer not to” - then Joe said “I’m going to have to ask you to leave then”

I told Joe that this was bad business, and his reply was “yes, I know”. Then I asked him why he was REQUIRING open house attendees to sign in, he replied that it was because of COVID. I reminded him that Washington State has no such requirement, then Joe changed his story and said it was the seller who was requiring the sign in.

It is common practice for real estate agents to collect email addresses and phone numbers via their sign in logs. Because we are aware of this and already working with an agent, we didn’t want to be badgered by Joe so we declined to sign in.

John L. Scott, your agent Joe Llesis is not doing you any favors. Joe could benefit from some additional training regarding the manner in which he should represent your office.
