Happy clients.

Amy is simply one of the best real estate agents I've ever worked with — and after purchasing four homes in total, I have experience to compare. About five years ago, Amy helped me sell my Columbia City condo and then guided me through purchasing a single-family home about a year later. Amy doesn't just understand the business of real estate inside and out — she's also honest, caring, and refreshingly direct in the most thoughtful way.

What really speaks to her character is that her support didn't stop at closing. To this day, she's still my go-to for home-related referrals.

Amy has supported several families in my circle with home purchases and sales, and without fail, we all say the same thing: "Amy is amazing." If you're looking for an agent who genuinely has your best interests at heart, look no further.

Amy is a joy to work with! From the day I contacted Amy about the property to the closure and signing, Amy was the consummate professional, always proactive and timely in all stages on my recent purchase. Amy's attention to detail and her patience with all my questions made buying my new house painless. Plus Amy's negotiating skills got me a great price!!!

Amy was the best realtor ever!! As a first time home buyer there is a lot to navigate and understand all at once, but I felt totally supported with the great resources and advice Amy provided throughout the process. She is extremely knowledgeable, detail oriented, and I would recommend her services to anyone looking to buy a home. Thanks again! :)

I recently had the pleasure of working with Amy for my home-buying process, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Amy possesses a unique balance of professionalism and understanding that made my experience exceptionally positive. Unlike many others in the field, she respected my space and decision-making process, offering guidance when needed but never pressuring me into decisions. This hands-off approach allowed me to thoroughly evaluate my options and make the best choice for my needs without feeling overwhelmed. Amy's knowledge of the market and her ability to provide insights while giving me the room to explore were truly appreciated. Her demeanor and expertise not only made my home buying journey stress-free but also successful. I am grateful for her support and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a smooth and pressure-free real estate experience.

Amy and I have worked together on several transactions and I have had a great experience every time. She is a very caring and detailed agent. Her clients feel she takes great care to manage the home buying process so they feel secure and at ease at all times. We communicate well together and I know that our clients will have positive thoughts moving forward

We can't speak highly enough about Amy and our experience buying a home with her as our realtor. She truly went well above and beyond our expectations. Amy's professionalism and knowledge of the industry is unparalleled and we knew we could trust her from the first day we toured homes. She was quick to learn our needs and wants as well as dislikes in homes we toured. She took this into consideration when searching and recommending houses for us to look at. We must have looked at 35+ houses before we ended up closing on our perfect home and she was patient the entire time. She never seemed annoyed or frustrated with our pickiness and indecisiveness. In fact, we felt the opposite. She wasn't simply trying to sell us any house, she genuinely wanted us to find our dream home, no matter how long it took.

Amy was always in touch with us giving us updates and was very quick to respond to any questions we had. The day the home we purchased went on the market, Amy saw it and knew immediately it checked all our boxes and acted very quickly to get us in to look at it. She guided us on the offer details necessary to give us the best chance of getting the house. The offer Amy sent to the sellers was so well written, they accepted our offer despite receiving a higher offer, and it was accepted before the review date! During the entire buying process Amy was communicating with us to make sure we understood everything that was going on, and what to expect. We know that we had the absolute best home buying experience possible, and that is all due to the fact that Amy was our realtor.

Amy was hands down the best realtor we could have hoped for. She is such a professional, in the way that she works, guides you through the home buying process, and moves at whatever pace you are wanting to act with.

As first time house buyers, on a budget, it took my wife and I over a year (Amy guided us safely and thoughtfully through the Pandemic, a housing price spike, and an election year of instability (2019-2021).

She literally allowed us to take 15 months looking for the perfect house. Laying out the pros and cons of what we should look for in a house. Ranging from the Secret details and unforseen issues that arise with some fixer-uppers, to the pros of buying a "move-in ready", house- and also illuminating us on the premium that that end of the spectrum tends to come with.

From always answering our phone calls, to knowing an expert for any inspection concerns, to scheduling and attending every survey, sewer scope, arborist or electrician's inspection, along side my wife and I- Amy was there every single step of the process. There was never once a time when she didn't have time to explain legalese or laws regarding the process of buying our house, and she also drove high and low, from Lynnwood to Kent, The Eastside to the Puget Sound, to look at houses for us, when we couldn't get there within a given time constraint.

Not only is Amy a no pressure, no stress type agent, but she is also a semi-pro interior designer and renovation specialist. She was able to highlight the pitfalls and potential, alike of electrical panels, sewer layouts, load bearing walls, remodel Jobs done by professionals, and pointing out the short coming of even the most minute details, if we inquired about the possibility of remodeling or building a Mother-in-law unit, or ADU in every various city and municipality in the region.

You honestly, couldn't be in better hands, than those of Amy Hyden. She managed to negotiate and plot strategies, where there were over 20 offers in some cases. In fact she helped us construct an offer on the house which we bought- using just about every trick in the "making an offer", handbook, and gradually led us to becoming more and more comfortable being as aggressive and competitive as we needed to be with out offers, in order to win, in this crazy Seattle market.

She has a network of contacts and fellow realtors that allows her to scan properties, often over-looked, as well as an inate talent for known what it will take to win an offer in each situation. Due to the patients, skill, and dedication to our needs, we ended up finding a perfect house, exactly where we had wanted to live, and actually won the bid on our house, even with it being over $35,000 less than the top offer. Undoubtedly, if we had not had her skill,, experience and "bag of tricks", which ranged from her amazing communication skills, on point memory, networking and most of all, her dogged persistence to seeing us achieve home ownership, in the house of our dreams.

10 out of 10, I would recommend Amy to anyone looking for their first home, or for that matter, anyone looking for the home they plan to grow old in. She is simply, compassionate, considerate, astute and determined to make your goals and dreams become reality.

I highly recommend Amy, she was truly great to work with! She is smart and very professional, thorough and knowledgeable of both the real estate process and the local housing market, and she is highly responsive and attentive in communication and in understanding a client's needs. Amy is trustworthy, kind, very likable, diligent, detail-oriented, thorough, responsive, and devoted. Amy helped me successfully search for the right home in a challenging seller's market and guided me in negotiating a good price. You will be in excellent hands if you choose to work with Amy.

Amy was extraordinary to work with. She was extremely knowledgeable and assisted us every step of the way. She offered insight, along with making sure we felt comfortable during the home buying process. We found Amy extremely personable, always professional, and reasonable with our thoughts and concerns. She has even contacted us after the purchase to be sure we were satisfied, and to see if we had any remaining questions. I would highly recommend her service to anyone looking to purchase or interested in selling a home.

Amy is exceptional. She managed both the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our new home efficiently and professionally. She is patient, knowledgeable and highly organized. Her follow-through is simply extraordinary. If she didn't have an answer, she quickly tracked it down (even when dealing with others who weren't nearly as responsive or detail oriented as she is).

When finalizing a selling price on our previous home Amy took the extra step of inviting a few local agents to help confirm the local market. This resulted in not only making us feel even more comfortable with the price (she had been spot on with her estimate) but ultimately resulted in quickly finding the perfect buyer via a referral from one of the agents. A big bonus during Covid since it essentially eliminated unnecessary foot traffic.

We are experienced home buyers and Amy is by far the best agent we have dealt with. She quickly figured out what was important to us and focused on those things without ever making us feel pressured or rushed. It was clear from the beginning that any decision we made would be completely OK with her, even choosing not to buy/sell at all. Absolutely stress free.

Amy is comfortable and a pleasure to work with, she could not have made this any easier. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

I was lucky enough to receive a job relocation package and Amy was one of two realtors that I had to work with as part of my hiring process. The reason my wife and I decided to go with her was her willingness to stage the house while we lived in it. The other realtor we interviewed felt strongly that we would be better positioned to live outside the home while we attempted to sell it. For us that was the final determining factor on how we arrived at our business relationship. Amy was also willing to gamble with us that our listing price was about higher than what she felt we could get. I really appreciated her letting us know the risk and not being pushy about our decision. Throughout the whole process she has been super responsive and transparent which we appreciated significantly. She provided quite a detailed list to help us get our house staged and ready for folks to tour. In the end, our house went above listing price and I am completely convinced her helping us with staging allowed that happen! She is super easy to work with and even though I know she had other clients she did an amazing job making us feel that we were her only ones. It was quite the magic trick and if we ever move back to Seattle we know where our business will go.

We found and got our home all thanks to Amy! She tirelessly worked with us, showed us numerous homes, had endless patience as we worked our way through the process. Amy was always available, extremely responsive and endlessly positive. We highly recommend Amy. Negotiations on our home got a little dicey and Amy handled it all, keeping us updated as necessary along the way - letting us know what was coming and helped us to be ready. We couldn't be happier, and we have no doubt we couldn't have done it so effortlessly with anyone else.

To put it simply, Amy is wonderful. This was my first time buying a home and although I had done research on the process and what each step entails, it's a beast when you move from superficial research to actually taking action and making decisions. Buying a home, that you actually love, not one you're just settling for, is no small feat. I'm grateful for the guidance, support, and resources that Amy provided throughout the home buying process - from the initial conversation to the day she handed me the keys to my new home, and all the home tours through botched DIYs, wonky layouts, and shiny granite countertops along the way. She's sharp, knowledge and driven - she knows how to maneuver this process skillfully to get you the best deal, all while honoring your needs and desires. I couldn't have dreamed up anything better. Highly recommend.

Amy has helped me now buy and sell a home. The selling process was a bit stressful, as we were packing and moving as the house was being listed and sold. Amy was a godsend, and we felt 100% comfortable being across country and letting her manage the sale. She went above and beyond to check mail, do drive-bys to make sure our empty house was ok, etc. We are very sad that we left the area and no longer have Amy as a realtor - however, she has stayed in contact and continues to be helpful to us, sending us our paperwork for taxes, etc. She is a great realtor, and has become a trusted resource for any questions, always even though we no longer live in the area.

Amy's approach towards my home buying process was very holistic as she understood my requirements, taste and investment goals for an ideal, comfortable home from the interiors and the exterior neighborhood through multiple tours. As I was a first-time home buyer and new to the Seattle market, I was unsure about my requirements, and Amy wisely suggested and arranged condo tours of different varieties and neighbourhoods through multiple weeks that enabled me to realize what I was looking for while at the same time informing her about my needs. After we found the home I wanted to proceed with, Amy was highly pro-active, responsive, and efficient at enabling us to close the purchase in close to 20 days! There were many times when Amy went beyond my expectations in communicating with stakeholders to help me while I had intensive work schedules (even though it wasn't her responsibility) or generating insightful market data reports through late nights to give me confidence towards my first purchase. Moreover, Amy was like a personal friend in helping and guiding me through the entire experience. I am grateful to her for all the relentless support.

We approached Amy to help us find a house and property that we could grow our small business and family on outside of the city. We brought Amy to a new area that neither of us were familiar with. She in turn did an extensive amount of leg work and research creating relationships with local agencies and uncovering any concerns that may possibly affect us with the property. She made numerous trips two hours South to represent us at times when we were unable to be present. She prodded us to stay on top of the paperwork we were responsible for and pressured others to keep agreed upon deadlines. Amy is honestly the hardest working real estate agent we've worked with and would highly recommend her services.

Amy helped us become home owners. She negotiated on our behalf and got us the best deal possible. Even before we started looking at houses, she gave us a book to review and learn more about buying a home and what to look for during an inspection. She always replied promptly and really made us comfortable and confident with the biggest purchase of our life. We feel lucky that we had her on our side during this whole process

My husband and I are beyond satisfied with our house buying experience with Amy! We HIGHLY recommend her.

Amy first walks you through the house buying process, which we found extremely enlightening since this was our first time buying a house. She encourages you to read about inspections so you are better prepared on what to look for in a house and I am SO grateful she did this because it really changed our priorities.

Amy is passionate about her work and enjoys seeing houses with you. She is incredibly generous with her time - we probably saw 30+ houses and never got the sense that she was tired of showing us around. Amy gave honest feedback for the houses rather than talking up every place in order to get us to buy. She knew what we were looking for and gave personal recommendations beyond what our housing portal showed us.

We ended up starting the buying process for a house and realized after the inspection that there were too many problems for our budget. When we decided against the house, Amy was really helpful and enthusiastic about helping us find the perfect house. And she did! We absolutely love our house and love our neighborhood. Amy is particularly knowledgeable of the south Seattle area, although I'm sure she knows other areas of Seattle too.

One thing I typically don't like about real estate agents is how they tend to over-simplify a problem. They'll often say "oh you could just fix this up, or replace that" and it ends up being way more expensive than you envision. Amy did not do that. She realistically walked us through every problem and told us an what price to expect. We really appreciated her honesty and positivity throughout our searching and buying process. She answered all of our many, many questions and walked us through every step so we felt comfortable and happy the whole time.

Amy truly goes above and beyond! I guarantee she is the best real estate broker!

My husband and my experience working with Amy Hyden to find our first home was exactly what we were looking for. Amy was proactive with finding homes for us to look at with her that met our criteria, and scheduled times that worked well with our lives to see the houses. We felt comfortable to spend as much or as little time with her looking at each house, and we appreciated her advice and expertise when looking at each homes features. During the two offer letters we put together Amy made us feel more comfortable and at ease during that stressful time. She took the time to explain everything we had questions about, and she helped us with creating an offer we felt comfortable with. She also advocated for us by contacting the listing agent to follow up when we were waiting to hear back. During the days around, and after, our closing date, Amy helped us with the transition to our new home. She was the first to welcome us to our new home with our keys, she offered recommendations when we requested, and checked in later to make sure we had settled into our forever home comfortably. We both feel confident that we would recommend Amy Hyden to anyone who is looking for a realtor.

Amy is terrific - she really went above and beyond. We were able to find and purchase a home in a relatively short amount of time, and given the current market, that is a feat within itself. She was always super responsive, and took time to first get to know us and what was important to us, and then to explain things we weren't familiar with. During our tours, she would scour the market for listing similar, that we didn't notice on the search. She would also go and preview the properties and let us know if there were any deal breakers, based on our wish list, which really helped us manage our time spent house hunting. While I don't foresee moving again any time soon - I would definitely use Amy again, and I highly recommend her to anyone!

When my wife and I first got the wheels turning on the home buying process I remember asking her, "So what does a Real Estate agent actually do?" As it turns out, the answer is "Quite a lot." And we are so pleased to have chosen Amy as our representative in this endeavor. I mean, it couldn't have been more than 2 months ago that we had our first preliminary meeting with her and here we are now - moving into a home so beautiful we can barely believe at a price everyone agrees is a steal. The woman is motivated. She will make herself available for you, and guess what? - Once you've found that patch of paradise that you want to call your own - when it's time to push your chips in and lay some cards out on the table - she's going to help you get the best deal you can at the best market value. All that and she's plugged in to a rock solid network of inspectors and lenders who we found were a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend you set up a meeting with her and then you go look at some houses. Before you know it you'll be feelin' good while knee deep in moving boxes.
