Team Diva Real Estate

My family and I cannot say enough good things about Team Diva! As a non-​traditional queer family, it was tough for us to find someone who understood what we were looking for in a new place and was willing to communicate with all of us throughout the process. But Kim and Chavi went above and knocked our socks off! They met with us 9 months before we were ready to sell to help outline what the process could look like and hook us up with a lender to talk about loan options. When the first lender didn’t get what we needed, they made him gone and connected up with a winner in new minutes! They were able to negotiate an above asking offer for my old place right after it went on the market, and get us into our new house a mere month after the old place closed. We now live in our dream house and our only regret about being done with the process is that we don’t have an excuse to hang out with Team Diva on the regular! :)

Big thanks to Roy and the whole Diva crew for helping us throughout our home buying process! Roy is the rent guru indeed and helped us find a great place to rent while transitioning out to the the P.N.W. Thanks again!

My husband and I had been referred to the Divas by a friend, and they were awesome throughout the whole process. As newbie homebuyers we had no idea where to start, and Kim worked with us on everything-​securing financing, looking at properties and making suggestions on neighborhoods, and finding awesome vendors for things we needed after buying the house, (movers, electrician, etc.).
We bought in December of last year when I was very pregnant, and therefore very motivated! Kim worked with us almost every weekend for about 6 weeks and was always timely with suggestions on homes and willing to push our comfort zone a bit on location and style which was helpful as we learned the ropes. After a couple of false starts, (we had a seller pull a home off the market after we had submitted an offer, and one place we almost went for), Kim helped us negotiate with a very difficult seller to get a lovely home in our favorite Seattle neighborhood. We would certainly work with them again if we decide to sell/​buy in Seattle in the future, and I would unreservedly recommend them to anyone who asked!

We started house shopping at the end of August and closed on an awesome house in a great neighborhood at the end of October.
With Rocky’s proactive, patient and collaborative approach, we beat 9 offers and found our new home in the matter of 2 months. It was my first time (my husband’s 2^nd) to purchase a house and Rocky and Diva Real Estate made sure we understood and were comfortable every step of the process.
Rocky made us feel like his #1 priority and provided a ton of information and resources every step along the way. He dedicated his time to show us houses and was always quick to respond when we had questions or concerns. Most importantly we had a ton of fun working with him!
He is a real team player and we are super happy we chose Rocky as our house shopping partner. Highly recommend Rocky and the Team Diva Real Estate!

Team Diva is the only real estate team I would use. I have used there services on multiple occasions and they never drop the ball. Team Diva works aggressively to get your deal complete whether you’re buying or selling. When I was buying a property and the sellers agent was a total flake the entire Diva Team helped pick up the slack and closed the deal without delaying my closing by even an hour and I got my house under asking, that is rare in this market. When I say the entire team, I mean it, because that is exactly what you get with Team Diva! You get an entire 5 person team tackling anything you could possible need. I also know that when I hire them to sell or buy a home, and I have done both with Team Diva, if I have a question I always get a speedy respond with no long waiting. Even on holidays! They also happen to be an industry leader and have won awards for the innovations in marketing and social media to give home seller the maximum exposure.
A lot of agents today will say what ever they have to get a client and then don’t follow through or listen, this will never happen with Team Diva. They actually take my thoughts and concerns into consideration. Some agents also try to nickel and dime you to death with extra marketing fee’s and this also will never happen with Team Diva. I really cannot express enough all the support and confidence this real estate team has given me, when I happen to be a seller or a buyer. I can count on Team Diva to make either transaction go quickly and painlessly every time.
The statement, «You get what you pay for», is more true than ever these days. When I sell or buy a home it is a major investment. So to me this is the one place you should never cut corners and hire a discount broker. You are not paying those low budget brokers to have your back and fight for you. To me piece of mind and a closed hassle free deal is priceless!
In closing TEAM DIVA is the team to hire if you want an agent who will carry your deal like it was there own across the finish line with out the drama and lots of fun! Love these People, Truly!

I have had been through ten real estate transactions in my life so far. Most of the realtors I worked with were very good. None of them, however, came close to the excellence that was Team Diva. Ours was a complicated transaction from the beginning, and when I look back on it I shudder to think of having to go through it anyone else. Chavi was with me every step of the way. She helped me find two contractors top figure out what repairs were needed, then found not one but two contractors to actually do the repair work. I never saw a realtor work so hard for so long to get our property on the market. Chavi and Roy were always very responsive with my questions; I knew what was happening when throughout the process. In fact, I really didn’t ask very many questions because Chavi addressed issues before I had a chance.
Midway through our transaction Team Diva hosted the Divas Take the Hill benefit for Peace for the Streets by Kids from the Streets. It was a huge event and I was proud to be associated with such community minded folks. They really walk the walk while running an extremely busy business. I don’t know how manage to do so many things so well at the same time, while making it look easy. (I don’t think they sleep much!)
Team Diva arranged to have my condo beautifully staged, and then held four open houses. The marketing they did was absolutely stellar. The online marketing really made a difference; the video, and the flyer were all just beautiful. It was very professional but done with a light touch that was fun. These people are serious at what they do, but they don’t take themselves too seriously, and that makes them a delight to deal with.
Once we were on the market they just did not stop until we had a good solid, full price offer. In fact, they didn’t stop there; they also got us a back up offer just in case something went wrong with the first.
Real estate can get crazy, and when it does you want Team Diva to have your back. Things got stressful at times but I put my trust in Chavi; I knew she would get the job done, and she did! I could not be happier with my Team Diva experience. I whole heartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, goal oriented and customer responsive realtor. The whole team — Kim, Chavi, Roy and Rocky works hard to get the job done, and done well.

This was the greatest experience of our lives. Team diva found us a house quickly and made everything very convenient. We never thought we’d have so much fun house hunting. They made walking through fixer uppers a blast. I don’t know how to ever thanks them. They got connections and come with a great freaking time. they won’t disappoint. These are the people you want working with you. Don’t think to look anywhere else. These guys are my favorite! TEAM DIVA FOR PRESIDENT!!!

We worked mostly with Rocky but talked to most of the team throughout our process. We were super nervous about buying a home since we had a predetermined stereotype set that realtors were shifty. They changed my mind a thousand times over!
Rocky guided us through every step of the way and he was super responsive whenever we had a question. We are in a tough market and had a tall order with our low price point but Rocky made it happen AND helped us win in a multi bid offer. We closed on our house today and we couldn’t be more thrilled. The only down side is that we will miss hanging out with Rocky. Thank you team Diva for educating us and helping our little family find a new home. You are all amazing!

These ladies KNOW how to sell a house, and fast! We are still a little in shock how fast they sold our townhouse, and 21k above asking price!
After we moved our stuff out of the townhouse they staged it FOR FREE. They covered the cost which usually runs around 2500 bucks. It turned out sooooo beautiful. Know what else? They paid for junk b gone to come and get rid of our junk.
Had one weekend (both sat/​sun) of open house and had 8 offers that Monday. Nice touch was the framed favorites. They asked me and my s.o. to email them 10 things we loved about living there. They framed it nicely and had it up during the open house.
We were in contact with Lake realty before meeting the divas, so the divas were our 2^nd opinion. So so so glad we went with the divas. I looked thru the portfolio the other guys gave us, and read that they don’t believe open houses help sell houses (they will usually just do one and that’s it… sounds a little lazy to me) and also they didn’t offer any freebies, like the divas did.
I really can’t say enough about these two. They kept us updated constantly, and really worked hard so we didn’t have to. They are so sweet, fun, and will sell your house guaranteed!
Oh, and did I mention that they love dogs???

If you are looking for realtors who are superheros in disguise, then look no further… TEAM DIVA will deliver! There’s no task too large or obstacle too challenging! Team Diva will in superhero fashion, effortlessly make it happen before home buying and selling disaster can unfold. My wife and I found a fabulous mid-​century modern home that should have been a straight forward purchase. However, we discovered midway through the process we were dealing with EMOTIONAL SELLERS!!! The Divas handled them with grace and respect. We worked out the bugs, closed on time and not only gained a new home, but new friends in the process.

First of all let me start off by saying if I am writing a review on anything then it has to be extremely bad. I am shocked at the 5 star reviews that others have written. The five star rating was the reason we chose the company. I am a first time homeowner and this is my partners second home. Kim received a $ 12,000 commission without doing anything (well she completed the paperwork) and she is all about the sale and not about what’s best for the customer. Kim didn’t find us the home, we found it ourselves. We provided our criteria, she took us out once in a vehicle that was less than ideal covered in dog hair with a really bad odor to see homes, but she didn’t seem to understand what we wanted. Getting a hold of Kim was next to impossible. The only thing she showed up for was the inspection beyond that we never saw her, she didn’t come to the closing or help with anything to get questions answered from her I often had to be firm and tell her we were going to back out of the deal and of course she responded then. We were so consumed by wanting the home and the fear of losing the home because there were multiple offers that we allowed this women to have the commission otherwise we would have fired her! If you’re looking for a professional realtor that is concerned about what’s best for you and providing a positive experience I would highly advise that you go somewhere else. Finally, I just have to say what realtor never gives here homebuyer a house warming gift. Not that we care or need one, but it goes along with this company, classless.

Team Diva lived up to all the Unilocal reviews — they are awesome. Chavi and Kim went above and beyond everything that I ever expected! They knew exactly what to do to get my condo sold quickly and to get the best price. They convinced me to have my place staged and it made all the difference in the world. Not living there I relied on Team Diva to help get my place ready to list and they were extremely helpful. I can’t say enough great things about Team Diva. They had an incredible marketing plan that we didn’t even get a chance to use since my condo sold in 3 days. If you want the best talk to them. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks Chavi and Kim!

I’ve known Team Diva Real Estate for almost a decade and finally bought my first condo in Aug 2014. Within the 10 years I’ve known them, I’ve experienced some of the many selfless acts they do for their clients, the many encouraging words they say for their clients and the dedication they put for each individual client. No matter how big or how small the deal, I could never tell because they treat all their clients equally.
Now as a Diva Dweller, I got to experience this quality first hand. They found the condo for me and called me immediately to see the space. They coached me throughout the entire process, they made sure I was satisfied and more importantly, made sure i was ready.
They have an excellent team they work with to get all the paperwork and money to where it needs.
As a first time homeowner, I do not regret any of the decisions I made, especially having Team Diva represent me in buying a home.
To another 10 years of friendship and responsible real-​estate.

Can’t say enough good things about Kim and Team Diva. As a first-​time homebuyer, I was somewhat intimidated by the entire process and needed some good guidance. Kim not only knew all the intricacies of the buying process but also knew her Seattle real estate inside and out.
In more detail, I was a first-​time homebuyer looking for a condo in Capitol Hill. Kim knows the condo buildings of Capitol Hill with over 12 years of experience focused on that neighborhood and had smart guidance on things I would have never thought of in terms buying a condo on my own. There were some matching listings in buildings that Kim wouldn’t even want to show me because she knew things about the HOA or building construction that were red flags (eg. «this is not a good building… I know the HOA has problems,» then the unit would go to a short sale a week later). There were other listings (such as the one I ended up buying) that didn’t get much attention but Kim knew things about both the building construction («this is concrete construction, built in X era, really solid») and the history of the building («these three buildings are some of my favorites in Capitol Hill; they’ve all been around a long time and have strong owners») that helped me to make the right decision.
The only small difficulty I’ll mention is that it can be a challenge to get Team Diva’s attention at times since they deal with many clients (and especially sales) at once, though I never felt like this negatively impacted my ability to buy the right place.
I’ve been an owner for just over three months now and I am so happy with the place I found. I attribute a lot of that happiness to a job well done by Team Diva! If you’re looking for a new home (anywhere in Seattle, but particularly in Capitol Hill), get in touch with Kim now!

Whip smart, market savvy and super fun.
My new place closed last week after one of the craziest roller coasters of my life. Chavi and Kim make deals happen. My offer was accepted in a multiple offer situation but my loan fell through at the last minute (through no fault of anyone’s but a dumb typo by the HOA in a previous sale). Chavi and Kim didn’t hold my hand and tell me everything would be okay, this is not their style– or apologize profusely, this was no one’s fault. They sat down with me (there may have been an adult beverage to sooth my rather frayed nerves), educated me about my options and worked with me to develop a very non-​orthodox plan to ensure my dream wasn’t completely kaput. The details are complicated but the big picture here is that these people are the bees’ knees and no one else could have pulled this off.
Rocky, Roy and Chris were equally fantastic throughout everything with quick, efficient communication and problem-​solving galore. I really loved observing this cohesive bunch work so fluidly together.
I am happily settled into my little house on Beacon Hill right this minute. Despite some serious stress, I have learned so much thanks to these folks and can now appreciate the ups and downs of this tricky thing they call «homeownership.»
Cheers to Team Diva! Email them right now… or yesterday.

Team Diva comes through again and how!!! Thanks to their real estate savvy and hustle, we just sold our townhouse. It went into a multiple offer situation, Kim and Chavi worked with the buyers to find the right one and negotiated an even better deal for us with that buyer. The buyer bought our townhouse for over our asking price and even took on a city charge that we would have had to pay up front in the amount of a couple grand. We walked away with a nice chunk of change!
Here’s how Team Diva did such a rockstar job.
1. They timed precisely when they would put the house on the market. They thought about times when the market would not be saturated with like properties and when buyers would be more apt to check it out and jump on it.
2. They put in the time and effort to have the townhouse professionally staged.
3. They put in the extra oomph to create a professional video showcasing the home and its best features.
Team Diva also held multiple open houses, advertised the home on their website, and I’m sure more things than I can name. This Team is completely trustworthy, works hard to get their clients the best deal ever, and is always up front with what the real estate market is looking like. I can vouch for that from both the buyer and seller viewpoint now. Thanks Team Diva!

Kim really know ins and outs of Seattle real estate. My husband and I had recently transplant to Seattle and was a first time home buyer. We happened to find Team Diva out of all places… Unilocal! Kim and her team helped us navigate the local real estate market and basic guide to loan process, and found us a townhome in our desired neighborhood. Through the whole home buying process, Kim really showed professionalism and attention to details. She persistently followed up on closing process with seller’s agent (seller’s agent was not very responsive).
I highly recommend Kim and her team! Service well worth it!

These ladies know how to work. Every transaction that I’ve had with them has been nothing short of an awesome experience. I have also attended their «Divas take the Hill» which benefitted a local charity, Peace for the Streets by Kids from the Streets. These two lovely ladies not only create the community, they are helping the people around them that need it most.
I can’t think of any other group that I will continue to do business with. I highly recommend Team Diva, Kim, Chavi, Rocky and Roy to anyone I hear is looking to rent or to buy.

Energetic, intelligent, quick-​witted, and real estate magnificos are not enough words to describe how phenomenal this real estate team is … these ladies tell you HOW IT IS and they get the job done. What do I love most about them? They are communicators and they will educate you on the process of the sale, whether you are a buyer or a seller. Along with that communication, they have the experience to guide you on the course to a successful transaction. Rare do I find an agent that has the same drive as our team does and that I feel comfortable referring business to … you want an agent that embodies your same ideals, business practice, and drive so you feel fully comfortable knowing your client will receive the same great service. ~ With Team Diva, I have finally found this comfort.
Whether your relocating to or from the Seattle area, or simply moving up or downsizing, do make sure to interview this team for the job as your real estate agent. You will not regret your decision, in fact you’ll feel more comfortable because a real estate transaction is stressful, and these are the folks you want on your side. And I can guarantee, you will also be entertained — they are not only sharp, but they are so upbeat, positive, and witty (something I particularly appreciate). They are the ultimate real estate package. Thank you Chavi and Kim. I really appreciate all that you have done for us with our referrals and keeping on shining in the social media spaces.

I knew I wanted a place in the city to be my first property, so naturally searched Unilocal and came across Team Diva. Chavi was completely awesome, she was there for me, like the big sis I never had. :) Even when I had the first timer nervousness, she was patient and never did I feel like I was being pushed into anything. Also, because of her demeanor and good communication with the seller agent, we were able to avoid a bidding war. I love my new home and am happy with my experience.
