Testimonials

Phillip did an amazing job selling my home. From the very first meeting, he was very thorough in looking over the details of the house and explaining his thought process and strategy when it came to selling, often answering my questions before I even asked them. I recall it was a couple of hours of discussion, which I greatly appreciated given that I hadn't committed to working with him yet. From this very in-depth discussion and his clear familiarity with the local area and even my specific neighborhood, I committed to working with him later that day. The preparation process was also very smooth. Phillip's team shared their Basecamp calendar with us, so it was a very quick and easy reference on when who was doing what. This as well as the WhatsApp group chat set our minds at ease with knowing what we needed to do, as well as knowing when his team or contractors were working on things in the house. It was also fun to bump into him when we were doing a spot check at our home (we already knew his team would be there at various times), it was clearly obvious he was giving our listing significant personal attention, something also important to us. I basically accepted and paid for all his suggested improvements, and we came in under the original estimated budget, as I trusted his judgment in knowing what needed to be done (this was proven to be correct) Our listing was great as well, we had a 3D walkthrough and a video, as well as beautiful pictures of our staged home (a massive step up from the pictures used when I purchased the home). We had several offers, which Phillip did a great job of helping us understand and negotiate, and we were very satisfied with the outcome.

Phillip, Heidi and Shane are amazing!! This is the second time they have sold a house for me and they make it so easy. They are definitely a full-service team that handles everything from prepping the house, marketing, pricing, showing, selling and taking you all the way through closing. They operate as a trusted partner, project manager, general contractor (for any repairs for prepping to sell), interior decorator, seller and closer. The team is very well connected with multiple contractors, cleaning services, staging companies and legal teams. This house sale was complicated because it was my mom's house and I was living abroad. The communication and trust in their market knowledge were key to making decisions about things that needed to be fixed and updated. They always had an eye on ROI as we made these decisions. Ultimately it all paid off as we sold for much higher than anticipated. The house sold in 5 days with multiple offers. I definitely recommend each member of this great team!

We’ve had the privilege of working with Phillip Belenky and Shane Rossow of PBNW Homes for the past 15 years, and their dedication to every single project continues to impress us. They consistently prioritize their clients' needs, ensuring that every detail is thoughtfully considered from start to finish. What truly stands out is their compassion and genuine care for their clients. Earlier this year, we worked with them on a project for a seller who was parting with the home she grew up in after her mother had passed. Phillip went out of his way to keep us informed and requested that we incorporate the mother’s favorite colors into the staging design as a way to honor her memory. After the home sold quickly with multiple offers, we had the pleasure of meeting the seller, and she shared how much that thoughtful touch meant to her. Moments like that are a reflection of the heart and care Phillip and Shane bring to their work. No matter the price point—whether it’s a $500K listing or a $5M property—Phillip and Shane approach every project with the same attention to detail, compassion, and commitment to their clients' success. Their consistent level of care is something we greatly admire. As home stagers, we collaborate with many different agents, and working with Phillip and Shane is always a smooth and rewarding experience. Their organization, clear communication, and professionalism make them a pleasure to partner with. Their proactive approach ensures that each project runs efficiently and with intention. We’re happy to recommend this team and would trust them to sell our own homes without hesitation. If you’re looking for agents who are attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely committed to their clients’ success, PBNW Homes is a great choice. —Seattle Staged to Sell

My family interviewed two very qualified real estate firms, one of which was PBNW Homes Team at Ensemble - Phillip and Heidi. Of the two agencies, this Ensemble team provided the clearest detailed picture of a path to success and therefore we selected them to represent us to sell our long-time family home. Phillip and Heidi provided a detailed step-by-step plan which was clearly presented. This plan included a detailed list of improvements to the home which would be both attractive to potential buyers and pay for themselves in a higher selling price. The plan included a detailed budget for these improvements, recommending cost-effective solutions. Plus, they had contractors available and ready to carry out the plan. The scope of work involved painters, landscaper, floor refinisher, roofer, carpet installer, cleaners and general handymen. Phillip and Heidi coordinated all this work and stayed within budget and hit their planned listing target on the exact day. All was completed in under 60 days - impressive! This was nothing short of a miracle that would have been impossible for my family to accomplish without Phillip and Heidi's total commitment to success. Their strategic plan for preparation, pricing and marketing led us to receive multiple offers and our home sold in under a week for well over the listing price. We would work with the PBNW Homes Team at Ensemble again without hesitation.
