Testimonials

  • Lino helped us land our first home. While our Lino was great to work with, was extremely responsive and a great advisor through our home buying process. This was the first property we purchased in Seattle and having someone with Lino's experience in the market was invaluable!
    — David bought a home in 2021 in Seattle, WA.
  • Lino walked me through my first-time home buying experience and it was a smooth and guided process every step of the way. He made sure I had the information I needed when I needed it, without feeling overwhelmed. His responsiveness and availability meant we were able to cover a lot of relevant buildings in the Seattle downtown area in a short amount of time,and when it came time for the offer, he was in lockstep minute-by-minute securing the deal. I have no doubt that things went as smoothly and as efficiently as they did because Lino was on the team!
    — Anthoney bought a home in 2021 in, Seattle, WA
  • We have worked with Lino numerous times and are always amazed at his professionalism, attention to detail, sharp insight into the current state of the market, and willingness to go above and beyond to close deals successfully. Lino is totally transparent, trustworthy, and really takes the time to make sure that his clients are well cared for- we won't ever work with anyone else!
    — Lindsey, 2020
  • Lino helped us buy a new house and sell our existing house. Those of you with families know what a pain it is to move with kids. Lino made it happen and met all of our needs in the process. It couldn't have gone better and he really knocked it out of the park on our house sale! We got way more than we thought we would. Thank you Lino!
    — Emily bought and sold homes in 2021
  • With the birth of our second child Mr. Guidero helped guide my wife and I in selling our home and to buy our new dream home for our growing family. Lino is very professional and knows the buying and selling process very well. His experience and passion showed at every stage of the process. He was also there for us as a friend and trusted advisor when the process got stressful and provided us with comfort that everything would work out. My wife and I are very particular and have over 30 years combined experience in sales and service. That said, I would trust no one else to help us through this process.
    — Kris and Sabrina
  • I was so impressed by Lino when we worked with him- he has all the attributes you want in a real estate professional (detailed knowledge of the area, trends, many local contacts, great insight on negotiating and going through the intricacies of the process). He knew how the market was moving in our particular area and could advise us when to wait, when to act, and what to pass up. Even more importantly to us was his manner; he was friendly, outgoing, easy to work with, and really LISTENED to what we needed and wanted as opposed to coming in with his own agenda. Not only did we appreciate that, but it worked to our advantage in communicating with other agents and owners- that manner and those people skills are something that can't always be learned- you either have them innately or you don't. Lino does. I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family.
    — - Home Buyer, 2016
  • Lino is a local Seattle area expert that made our home purchase smoother than I could’ve imagined. We were able to successfully negotiate a seller discount and come in under asking price. Lino is a true professional with exceptional service and knowledge!
    — Paul, bought a home in 2020
  • Lino is hands down the best realtor that I have ever dealt with. He was knowledgeable, attentive, responsive and fully engaged with us throughout our search and purchase. He went above and beyond in every aspect of our transaction. I would highly recommend his services.
