Ray Bosko – Windermere Real Estate

Ray is a good guy and doesn’t give you the run-​around. He is a «straight talker» and won’t deceive you or embellish a home, or try to convince you it’s okay when it’s not. I’ve met other realtors who will downplay issues that may actually be cause for concern. He is patient and won’t give up until he finds a home that fits your exact needs and wants. I highly recommend, A+.

If you are looking to purchase a home and want an honest, insightful, open-​minded realtor that simplifies the overwhelming process of buying your first home, Ray is definitely the guy you’re looking for. When my husband and I met Ray for the first time, at his Windermere office in Kirkland, we felt as if we were chatting about buying our first home with an old friend. It was clear to us that Ray wanted to help us purchase the right home for our family, and he had our best interests as his priority. He spent countless afternoons driving around with us and our toddler, and he was so friendly and down to earth that it felt like we were looking at homes with our old buddy, Ray. Aside from being a real friend in the real estate process, Ray is great at his job. He approaches everything with great detail and stays in touch with his clients so a great house doesn’t slip through the cracks. We wish we could buy a few more houses just so we can spend afternoons driving around town with this guy. Also, our daughter (1.5 yr old) still remembers his office when we drive past it and she gets excited to think we’re going to visit Ray… Adorable.

Me and my husband would highly recommend Ray Bosko to any new home buyers for his expertise in the process of home buying. We weren’t sure if we wanted to buy home this year. We thought we will spend sometime learning the process, understand the requirements and the details to look for in a home to make sure we make a right decision. All of the above was taken care in very few early meetings with Ray. We were not sure what kind of home we wanted to buy but with right questions from Ray while visiting the listings, we were standing in a property which is our home now. All this in 10 days. He made sure he was available with every important information about the property like what would be the right price for the property, verifying records with county for any construction made on the property etc. What really impressed us was his professionalism and the personal attention he would give to every details, providing his view on the same.

Ray was very actively involved in selling our property. He made sure it was priced correctly, held multiple open houses, and followed up with us on any and all showings. His communication was beyond reproach. He made the whole process seamless and we are so happy we had Ray as our Real Estate Professional.

Recently purchased my first home with Ray’s help. He made the search process enjoyable and fun, listened to my likes and dislikes, paid attention to what I was looking for in a home rather than what was trendy or easy, and helped me get a good feel for the market. It’s a seller’s market for sure right now, but Ray kept up a cheerful attitude during the offering process. He was patient as I read through each document, and explained anything I had questions about, making it as painless as possible. Instead of the horror stories some of my friends have had in the search for their first real estate, mine was enjoyable. I have Ray to thank for this and would highly recommend him to anyone in the area.

My husband and I began our home search last year with a different agent. It was a disaster. We ended up spending 6 months re-​evaluating our plans because she was such a bad fit for our needs. When we were ready to resume our search, Ray was recommended to us. I sent him an email and we were off and running that same day.
Ray was everything we had hoped an agent would be. He never shied away from the search, and shored us up when homes we had liked sold for more than we had been willing to offer. My husband’s job took him out of state multiple times in the middle of the search, and Ray didn’t hesitate to run showings with me — previewing so that when my husband returned, we had a short list.
It seemed like Ray never forgot anything about an area, and kept a running map in his head. He determined early what interested us, and never pushed anything that didn’t.
After a good bit of time looking, we suddenly entered a time crunch and needed to find a home and close ASAP. Ray was the best advocate we could have asked for. He kept us on track, made sure we had everything on time, and made time to get us through the process.
Working with Ray made our first home buying experience a fun and memorable experience. He has a great attitude and isn’t afraid to push for his clients. We couldn’t recommend him more.

I was a first time home buyer and very new to the home buying process. I found Ray to be extremely accommodating and understanding given it was my first time. He gave me near daily updates on new properties for me to look at which I greatly appreciated during the home searching process.
I changed my preferences for a condo multiple times during the three month search for a condo, I even gave up once and told Ray that it was not going to happen. Even given these circumstances, Ray was patient with me and was always helpful at every step of the process.
When I did finally select a condo, I had little idea on the documentation that needed to be done. Ray walked me through admirably and gave me key insight on what I was signing when I did not have the patience or time to fully read it. Ray also saved me money by negotiating well with the selling agent of the property, which was fantastic, given that the property that I was pursuing had an appraisal come below the negotiated purchase price.
Another thing to note is that he accommodated my preferred way of communication. I think after a few communications that we had, he knew that I prefer email and text message over meeting face to face or phone calls given my schedule and I think that is a hallmark of a great real estate agent. Ray also communicated quickly and thoroughly even though most of my emails would come later at night given my work schedule.
In conclusion, Ray is an outstanding real estate agent who can drive results beneficial to his clients and I would highly recommend him for any of your real estate needs.
