We had the pleasure of working with Roy & his team to successfully sell our home after a previous attempt with another agent did not go as planned. From the very beginning, Roy demonstrated exceptional market knowledge, strategic insights, and professionalism, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.
Roy’s expertise in pricing, marketing, and negotiations was evident throughout the journey, ensuring that our home received the right exposure and attracted serious buyers. He provided valuable guidance at every step, keeping us well-informed and confident in our decisions.
A special mention to Emily, who was incredibly proactive, detail-oriented, and communicative. She ensured that everything was handled efficiently, from scheduling showings to managing post-sale matters. Even after the sale was completed, she went above and beyond to assist us with any remaining concerns, showcasing their commitment to client satisfaction.
We highly recommend Roy & his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Their dedication, expertise, and outstanding service truly set them apart. Thank you, Roy & team, for making this a seamless and successful experience!

We had a wonderful and very productive experience with Roy and his amazing team. We were able to sell our house within our deadlines, and their support and ideas for remodels, fixes, and staging almost made us want to move back into the house. In summary, we couldn't have been more pleased working with Roy and his fantastic team.

Roy is very knowledgeable in the real estate market. He gives the correct advice and makes the correct decisions in listing our house so that our house was sold in 3 days after listing at a good price. His team is very helpful in facilitating the sales. I highly recommend Roy to be your realtor either buying or selling your house.

We couldn’t ask for a better partner throughout the sales process. Selling a house is inherently stressful, but Roy did everything possible to ease our concerns and shield us from as much of the stress as possible. The Towse team was full-service; they helped us schedule & keep track of the many external parties that were needed to prepare our house for sale. Additionally, Roy kept us constantly informed and was honest, open, and thorough, all of which helped us set reasonable and realistic expectations. Last, but certainly not least, we were thrilled with the outcome! Would highly recommend Roy & team!

Being first-time home buyers, we had a lot of questions. Roy and his team were very patient with us and answered all of our questions. They truly went above and beyond to ensure we got what we wanted out of a home. Our agent, Jessica, has the most positive, fun energy! She asked all the right questions, was always responsive, and strongly advocated for us. Their team provided multiple resources that added value to our home, as well as really took the time to listen and ensure all our boxes were checked ❤️ we are deeply grateful to Jessica, Roy, and the team for their outstanding service in guiding us through our home purchase ✨

Roy and his team helped me with a Sammamish house sale right in the middle of Covid. They were very professional and also very sensitive to our personal circumstances (going through a divorce). Even better, Roy did an outstanding job of working through a multiple offer situation and getting us top dollar for our house ($1m above asking….seriously).

I highly recommend Roy Towse and Team from Compass for anyone looking to buy or sell a property in WA especially in Sammamish. Roy is a Sammamish resident himself and knows the area quite thoroughly. My wife and I bought our house with his help and couldn’t be happier. Roy and his entire team were very attentive to my needs and preferences and showed me properties that matched our criteria. He was always available to answer any questions and provide me with valuable advice. He was quite prompt which is great given the market condition in the last few years. It made the whole process smooth and stress-free. His experience and rapport with other agents in the area gives him an edge over others. Thank you, Roy, for making our dream come true.

If you want to find your dream home in a difficult to navigate market, call Roy and team. Roy knows the greater Seattle area like the back of his hand, particularly the east side. And his deep connections with fellow local realtors and developers were key in helping us succeed in a very competitive bidding environment. Roy is very responsive, friendly and most of all, he cares first and foremost about the client and not the transaction. I’ve recommended him to friends and family and will use him again on future deals.

Team Towse was great, they helped me through the entire process since this was my first home sale.

Roy, Emily and Jessica are the dream team for selling a home. Roy has over 15 years in the industry and his experience and knowledge are invaluable. He noticed the market trends and recommended that we move very quickly on selling our home. His team worked around the clock and we ended up listing our home a week before we had originally planned to and we sold for higher than list with no contingencies, in a little over 24 hours. Emily handled all the logistics effortlessly and Jessica did a phenomenal job with the open house. Jessica even wiped down the inside of our fridge to make our home look perfect. We are so happy we chose Roy and his team. Thank you!

When our family relocated back to Seattle's Eastside in early 2021, Roy was recommended to us by a friend who works in the real estate industry (not as a broker). We were told he was "the best." A little background...we've moved a lot - mostly corporate relocations, so have worked with realtors in many metropolitan areas. We wanted to find our "forever house" as we were ready to settle back in the area permanently. The housing market was (and still is) very hot, but we were determined not to settle on anything less than the home we could see our family living in for a very long time. Enter Roy....he has a large team but handled our home search personally. He really knows the market, was honest with us about what we were up against, and didn't sugar coat anything. But he definitely made us feel confident that we would find the right house. He did not disappoint - he has built relationships over time with brokers, agents, lenders, builders, you name it he knows everybody! He was able to get information very fast (before the competition), giving us a little buffer to make important decisions in a crazy market. Roy ended up helping us secure new construction off-market, before the lot was even listed. Relationships are everything! We couldn't be happier with our new home and with Roy (and his whole team - BTW Emily is amazing and helped us work out with all the details/options for the new home with the builder).

I interviewed Roy three years ago and two other agents. Roy impressed with his personalities, knowledge and responsiveness. I wasn't ready to sell three years ago. Roy didn't push at all. Three years later I called Roy and had a smooth sale. As expected, everything went well. House selling is such a stressful process. Roy was always calm and eased my worries. I really appreciate it.

I've been a client of Roy's for many years. He's helped me sell two houses, rent one out, and buy one as well. I love the fact that Roy doesn't treat you as a transaction but as a true advisor and friend. The above mentioned processes weren't easy, and some came at a difficult time for our family, but Roy's patience, knowledge and demeanor make them worthwhile. I could bore you with stats but my enthusiastic recommendation of Roy doesn't only come from his real estate expertise, but his thoughtful and careful approach and respect of sellers and buyers as people in need of help.

Roy was known to us as THE person in our community for all matters concerning real estate and was selected by all of our neighbors choosing to sell their home. We chose him as well to sell our rental and then help us buy our next investment property - this was the best decision we made. Roy' work ethic and dedication to his clients is by far the best I've seen, and the same goes for his fantastic team who helped with prepping the home for sale - listed the top priority things that needed to be fixed and helped with scheduling the many folks coming into fix and stage the house. End result was a quick sale above asking.
Once this was done, he helped with identifying, advising, and helping shortlist the potential properties to buy. And with his help we closed on one in record time. More than a realtor he is now a trustworthy advisor and friend.

We sold a house with Roy back in 2017 and just worked with him again to buy a home in December 2021. Hands down the Sammamish-area expert, if you’re looking to buy or sell on the plateau Roy and his team should be your first and only call. He cares about each and every unique client as if they were family, and makes the real estate process pleasant and enjoyable. Cannot recommend them more energetically!!

The late spring and summer housing market was brutal, but thanks to Roy Towse and his dedicated team we felt both supported and respected. Roy, Eliud and Emily were available to schedule home showings quickly, worked hard and diligently, were very patient with us and gave expert advice when tough decisions needed to be made.

We worked with Roy for about four months to get our house prepped, listed, sold and bought a new house in the school district we wanted. Buying a house we want in 2021 was not an easy feat and we had to do it on a budget but Roy somehow made it happen. He had good negotiation skills and the right contacts in the area to get us the right kind of information for bidding and he was super responsive to our (sometimes obsessive) questions/rants so I always felt like our family was on top of his mind even though I know he has tons of other clients. Roy also had a great team of people working with him that range from staging, landscaping, painting, etc. which made it super easy for us to find the right people for any jobs we needed. Selling a house in this market was relatively easy but Roy made is even easier with schedule arrangements and right references.
I honestly thought finding the right house in 2021 market was a lost cause. But looking back now, having an agent like Roy working for me made a huge difference. Strongly recommend.

Roy helped me to sell our house in Kirkland a week ago. We came across his profile on Zillow and met with him after we had talked with some other highly rated Zillow realtors. We decided to work with him because of his excellent knowledge about the market and his fantastic communication skills. We believed it would be our best decision ever. And it truly turned out to be really our best decision. Roy and his team's Operation director Emily were dedicated to making the whole process flawlessly smooth and stress free for us. They helped us to work with all the contractors to make our house ready for the market. They tried their best to accommodate our schedule and needs. They were really responsive to all the questions we had which made us feel like they were always there for us. Above all, the most important thing is that Roy helped us to sell our house for more money than we expected. If there is any chance we need someone to help with the real estate needs in the future, Roy and his team will definitely be our top choice. We highly recommend him for someone who is looking for the top-notch service.

I have known Roy for 13 years and recently had the pleasure of working with him to sell our home in Sammamish, WA. He has always been a kind individual but we were blown away by his professionalism and expertise as a realtor. Roy has a fully adapted team to help with every part of the selling process, he is realistic, honest and optimistic about the opportunities, and was available for our questions or concerns 24/7. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor, as my family felt very taken care of through the whole process. Don't let our long standing acquaintance sway your opinion of my review.

It would be impossible to praise Roy too much. We started working with him a full 3 months before we had any intention (or ability) to purchase a home. Instead of pushing us away until we were serious, Roy went above and beyond to help us get an understanding of the market and prepare us for heavy competition with other buyers. After at least three "practice" showings, nearly 10 "real" showings and a few offers, Roy was able to help us land a great home. We got the home off of the market in under 36 hours by leveraging his relationships and negotiating skills.
Roy is the real deal in terms of his connections and area knowledge. With the help of his Director of Operations, Emily, his customer service is top tier as well. We hope to be in our new home for many years, but when we find ourselves in the real estate market again we will absolutely be using Roy's services again.

Roy Towse and his team... how good are they? I will tell you.
They are so good, this die-hard Husky alum made a donation to the WSU Athletic fund. That's how good Roy Towse is.
Roy and Emily were amazing, they effortlessly jumped through hurdles, handled quick turnarounds, and had a team of vendors waiting in the wings to get our home on the market in record time. They kept us updated through the whole process, provided insight when needed, let us make our own decisions when that was needed, and overall were just great people.
We couldn't be happier with working with them. They were able to sell our home for much more than we anticipated, and they found us a home, within our budget, that we would have never found. Can't ask for much more than that!
We appreciated Roy and Emily's hardwork, effort, and professionalism so much, we referred them to my brother, and Roy is now selling their house!
This is the easiest decision to make, this team is fantastic!

Selling a house can be very daunting and in a pandemic- even more so.
Roy was the person we leaned on with complete trust to sail us through this experience. Roy’s unparalleled experience and knowledge of the real estate market, charming personality and amazing listening skills made him the ideal realtor (and now friend) for us. He had some great advice for us to get our house ready for the market in a week with his amazing team. The whole experience seemed so smooth and effortless- I would recommend him to anybody that is looking for a dream realtor to help with their sale or purchase. With Roy’s business acumen- we sold our house at a great price and had the best experience overall.

As first-time home sellers, my wife and I didn't fully understand just how important it is to have the right agent. After working with Roy, we've experienced firsthand the value of having such an exceptional agent, and in a single transaction he has earned us as customers for life.
Roy is unwaveringly professional, yet personable and funny. He's polished, but never pretentious; confident but never cocky. He works with urgency, but with a relaxed demeanor that helps alleviate stress. He's diligent, yet never pushy. He's endlessly knowledgeable, yet shares that knowledge freely, and in a way that's easy to understand. He's a powerhouse business partner, but feels like a friend.
From his seemingly endless knowledge, to his unique expertise in the highly competitive Seattle-area housing market, and the plethora of tools he offers (like his Compass Concierge program and Compass Collections mobile app and website), Roy has every aspect covered with excellence, which gave us tremendous confidence throughout the listing and sale of our home.
Lest I go on and on, I'll close with this: If you need an agent, do yourself a favor and talk to Roy - you'll be glad you did.

Roy Towse is a fantastic Real Estate Agent. We received the best service from him and his excellent team. He answered all of our questions and offered lots of information from his vast knowledge of the industry. The Seattle metro region is very competitive for home buying and Roy was able to guide us to an incredible home and helped us have our bid be excepted against several competing offers. Roy also recommended a great Mortgage company and they were the best mortgage group we have ever worked with.
Not only was Roy great but the Real Estate Company he works for - Compass Real Esate offers so many online tools we could not find anywhere else. Compass has an app with a feature called Collections where you and your Agent can select homes and make private comments on each and give feed back. It made the home buying process much easier.
I highly recommend Roy Towse.

We have used Roy several times now and it’s always top notch customer service and he always gets us the best outcome possible. He takes care of the smallest details so you don’t have to and they make such a difference. He is definitely professional, looks out for your best interest, trustworthy and most of all is a kind person. I strongly recommend Roy and Team Towse...it’s already hard enough buying and selling its such a relief to have someone like him on your side.

Roy and his team were fantastic to work with. He asked the right questions to understand our need and was very diligent in finding homes that fit. He also got our previous home ready and sold in time. Throughout the buying, selling and closing process he was with us readily available when needed. He never once came across as imposing or rushing us to decide.... but was very patient and understood our rationale. It was one of the best experiences we had in all the buying/selling transactions we had.

Roy is a true professional. He is up to date on market trends. He was spot on with pricing our home and knew exactly when to put our home on sale.
Before meeting Roy we were wondering if we should sell the home ourselves. We are glad we opted for Roy. There were many hurdles along the way from snow storms, fallen tree to a toddler running crazy on the upper level. He proactively took care of all issues. He was always the first to call and give me an update.
I was truly blown away by the strategic plan he came up with to sell our home. He helped us in getting a contractor to repair our home.
Then he took care of the professional photography and staging. His team did a wonderful job scheduling different vendors. The timing couldn't be more impeccable, we were able to list the home within the time frame we initially planned for.
Once listed, he took care of the open house and marketing. The icing on the cake was that he was also doing social media marketing for our home. I did not know of any real estate agent making use of social media marketing to sell a home, until I met Roy. Thanks to his aggressive marketing our home got a lot of exposure and was sold in a quick time.
I would highly recommend Roy for your real estate needs.

Roy was a pleasure to work with! From beginning to end we knew that we could count on him to answer our questions and provide expert guidance. We made the decision to sell our home quickly which resulted in a lot of prep work that needed to be completed in a short window of time. Roy helped us come up with a realistic game plan and timeline. I was impressed with the level of strategy involved in selling our home. From open house scheduling to online marketing tactics, our listing received significant exposure. In addition the photography package was really great and helped our home stand out among the rest. Roy is an excellent communicator so we always knew where our listing stood. We sold our home quickly and were very happy with the the outcome. I would highly recommend Roy for your home sale!

We had the pleasure of working with Roy when relocating from CA to WA. We trusted the reviews we read and took a leap of faith when selecting Roy to represent us in purchasing our first home in WA. We are so glad we did! Roy is not only an excellent realtor, but a wealth of knowledge for the area. He was kind and patient as he worked with us selecting our new home. He quickly picked up on what style and type of home we were looking for as we narrowed down the options. He knew to move fast on those homes we liked and provided stealthy guidance on the offer process. Having a professional like that in your corner is essential with the type of market we were dealing with at the time. We wouldn't be living in the fantastic home we are in today without the help and assistance Roy provided! Please do yourself a favor and give Roy a call - you won't be disappointed. Even my teenage son and daughter liked him!

Roy sold our house in Sammamish in a not so good market . He is everything a realtor should be .. realistic when he needs to be .. super optimistic when the seller starts hitting low.. extraordinarily patient and not to forget he has an army of vendors taking care of everything in the house. We left the house to move to a different state and Roy took care of the landscaping .. making sure the house was cleaned up. I have dealt with many realtors here and he is not only the best but totally a different league. Just to add, we did not know him before we hired him.

Working with Roy has been a breeze! From my 1st conversation with him until the last- Roy has been simply superb! He figured out exactly the kind of home we wanted, was always available to show us the homes and guided us very well with the school districts we ought to look for. Relocating from Texas- we were very lost in how to purchase a home in WA. But he made us feel every bit at ease. His team is equally efficient and made this whole relocation process very easy for us- right from communication via phone/email and paperwork. I highly recommend him for his high quality of work!

Roy came to us highly recommended by our agent that we worked with on the purchase of our new home in a different city. He is excellent to work with, very knowledgeable about the area, friendly and kept us up to date with what was happening at all times. We have already recommended him to other people in our neighborhood and will continue to do so. He has a great supporting team also. We needed a quick turnaround on the sale of this home and he made it happen. If we could give him 10 stars we would.

Mr. Roy Towse exceeded my expectations as my real estate agent. He is very professional and knowledgeable of the industry. Roy assisted us for the sale of our house as well as the purchase of a new one. This process includes many steps and requires the help of
many people. Roy was with us every
step of the way as he introduced us to other qualified professionals who were essential in the process. I had many questions along the way while Roy spent the time to carefully answer every one in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Roy Towse for your
real estate experience.

Roy did a great job as our sellers AND buyers agent. We dealt with many adverse people, situations and barriers to selling our home and he handled them all very professionally. He's selling more homes than in anybody else in Sammamish for a reason. He's an excellent communicator not only with his clients, but with the other players in the deal. When selling a home, you will spend a lot of time talking with your agent. Roy is someone that I really enjoyed working with and getting to know. Highly recommended!
