Cyrus was a huge help during this process. Buying in the current market and staying in our budget was challenging to say the least. Cyrus was patient and helped us find the perfect house in the location we wanted. Highly recommend to anyone looking to buy a house
There are no words to describe Jenna and Cyrus but I'll try. From day one when we started our home journey, Jenna was on top of everything. Their communication is out of this world. She provided me with so much information and if she didn't know something, she was very transparent and honest about it and always returned with an answer within minutes. As a first time home buyer, they made this experience less stressful. They are trustworthy. I was unable to do a final walk thru of the house but Jenna made sure to record everything and pointed out any discrepancies.I trusted her enough to not overlook anything just to close quickly and she didn't. She made sure that home was perfect as far as the eyes can see. She kept my keys until I arrived in town.If I ever need to buy again, without a doubt this will be my team. JENNA, CYRUS AND TIM(Loan officer) at Cornerstone Mortgage. Their communication is out of this world and they genuinely care. I can write a five page essay of my experience, so I'll leave it at that.Look no further if you need a realtor or someone who will be 100% honest if you just have questions. Thank you again Jenna and Cyrus and Tim.
Cyrus and his team were incredible helping us buy a home in Tacoma sight unseen. His knowledge of the area and the VA loan process is exceptional and made us feel comfortable during every step of the process. Thanks to his diligence and guidance we were able to find the right home for our family despite me being deployed for the duration of the home search. Would work with him again in a heartbeat!
Cyrus and his team are amazing! They make the process seamless, efficient and they are all genuinely nice people. From the photographer taking the AMAZING photos to his assistant answering my random questions when Cyrus wasn’t available. He made the bittersweet process of selling our home so much easier. Not to mention the knowledge! He shoots some of the most insightful emails with details to assist with selling and buying and the market in general. He made this a great experience and I’d definitely recommend Cyrus and the team.
Overall great experience. I bought a house through them sight unseen. They provided all of the pictures, videos and other information I needed to feel comfortable making the purchase. I highly recommend their services.
We moved from out of state and relied on Cyrus for more than you would in a "normal" real estate transaction. He and his team came through with amazing speed and superior quality. Nothing but praise for the whole team.
I too am a realtor who has had a cross sale with Cyrus. As a person in the industry, I do trust him to do the right thing in any circumstance. Would work with him again in a heartbeat.
Dual military and looking for a house sight unseen for an upcoming PCS from across the country. We worked with Jenna mostly, and she was really awesome and responsive all the way up until we got the keys to our new home.We got a house on our second offer, and the team walked us through every step of the way. It was absolutely the right decision to work with them, and would do it again.
Cyrus and his team were fantastic to work with during the process of home buying in the Pierce County area, more specifically, Tacoma. Cyrus is extremely knowledgeable about the area's and is able to tailor that to your life-style.If you are on the market to purchase a home, a veteran (not needed), and looking for someone to help navigate the VA process, look no further as Cyrus and the team were extremely knowledgeable in the VA Home Loan aspects. All in all, he is not just the Soldier's Agent, he is everyone's agent!
Cyrus and his team did a phenomenal job helping us find a house! We had to move on short notice from out of state and were looking to purchase our first home. Cyrus was able to walk us through the process and made it easy to understand. He was super flexible with setting up viewings and helped us even when weren't here in person to see houses. He has a depth of knowledge the helped us pick the perfect house for us and made the entire process very easy for us. I would highly recommend Cyrus and would 100% work with him again!
I just happened to google search for realtors that specialized with Veterans and VA loans in Tacoma, and I found SoldiersAgent. Cyrus and Jenna did an amazing job and helped me close on a house that fit ALL of my needs and budget, in this very fast paced and aggressive housing market. They have a lot of resources and knowledge for local mortgage loans, contractors, escrow processing and of course all the electronic paperwork needed.I highly recommend this team to ALL veterans who are moving to this area. Hands down, they are top tier!
Two great big thumbs up for Cyrus and Jenna! They helped us out immensely and we couldn't be happier with how we were treated. We moved from Seattle to Centralia and were under a time crunch because of a job change. They went out of their way to help us tour many houses each week for a good long while; and stayed with it until we found the one we wanted.They both were very responsive to the many questions and wonderings we had along the way --- along with really listening to our input and things we shared that we liked and didn't like about homes we saw. They used that info to help us narrow our search.We would highly recommend working with Cyrus and Jenna for any of your home buying needs!
Cyrus and his team are experts in their craft. They were able to get us a great house at list price at $15K under appraised value.What sets Cyrus apart are two things-1. He is very knowledgeable about the VA Loan process and is able to educate other realtors/sellers to remove their preconceived prejudices against VA Loan offers.2. He knows how to structure competitive offers to quickly close the deal at a great price for buyers.
Knows the military and his job as a realtor. Cyrus was personable, knowledgeable, well connected with his associates and peers, and trustworthy. We had to leave the state and he handled everything amazingly without missing a deadline. Additionally, someone dumped the waste and recycle containers we left for Tacoma sanitation all over the front lawn, Cyrus cleaned it all up and didn't charge us anything extra even though we insisted he get compensated. Oh, he also sold our house for over $50K above asking price. Cyrus Bonnet is by far the best realtor I have ever seen!
Our family couldn't have asked for anything more from our realtor. Cyrus was there from the beginning all the way through to the successful sale of our home. Every step of the way he kept us informed and had our back the entire time. If our family ever is in need of realtor services in the future Cyrus definitely has our business.
In 2017, we bought our first home in Graham WA while still living in Alaska with the help of Cyrus. Cyrus understood what we were looking for in a home and found us the perfect property and maintained great communication with us through the entire process. He gave us his honest and professional input on every home we looked at and gave us a realistic idea about what we should expect. His knowledge about using the VA loan and property markets in the area were invaluable.We recently sold the same home with Cyrus's help. He again surpassed every expectation we had. His knowledge about market analysis and constant communication with us allowed us to sell our home easily and quickly. Buying and selling home is so stressful, but Cyrus has made this such a wonderful experience for us.
I was coming off of an unaccompanied remote tour PCS when I found Cyrus. Cyrus was with me and my wife every step of the way. He immediately got to work getting us houses to look at online since we weren’t in the local area. He even went to the ones we were interested in and conducted a video walkthrough for us, giving us his honest assessment along the way. When we made it to Tacoma to physically look at homes, he was right there with us, showing us around, and again offering his expert assessment of homes we were looking at. When we finally found our home, he took care of everything, getting us a new roof and hot water out of the deal, as well as several other small fixes. His negotiation skills are top notch. I would highly recommend Cyrus as a real estate agent, and if we decide to sell and buy again, he will be my number one choice.
Cyrus was great, we contacted him before we got to the area and he was extremely attentive and set aside two days to dedicate to us looking for a home. There were quite a few hiccups in the process because we were selling our old house while looking for a new one, but Cyrus helped us through them and negotiated with the seller's realtor to keep everything moving along. I've recommended him to everyone we know that's moving to the area.
If you are working with a VA loan and want the best then look no further, Cyrus is your man. I went to many open houses and had multiple sellers agents tell me I was working with the best VA loan realtor in Tacoma, that's when I knew I had struck gold. Cyrus had my needs figured out day one, and knew exactly what I was looking for in a home almost immediately. He was very knowledgeable of the market in Tacoma and recommended the best home inspectors I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He and his team of inspectors saved me from a couple money pits I had my eye on, and this kind of sage advice is priceless. Cyrus was great to work with and an all around awesome guy. I could not imagine working with another agent going any better, and will surely utilize his services in the future. Ultimately, buying a home is not like the TV shows, and it takes a team of experts that work hard to get you into something without being taken advantage of, especially in this market.
This is the second time my wife and I have worked with Cyrus. Our first occasion was when we bought our house in Washington back in 2013. This time, we live in North Carolina and decided to sell our house. I contacted Cyrus and to my surprise, 7 years later, he still remembered my wife and I and the property! As before, Cyrus went above and beyond expectation helping us sell the house, especially for selling out of state!We were renting our house and the selling process began with waiting for the lease to expire so the tenants could move out. Cyrus was very knowledgable and knew exactly what to do according to Washington State laws. When Cyrus conducted his initial walk through of the home for his market value assessment, he provided his notice to the tenant and coordinated with the management company. The tenant refused to let Cyrus into the home, was yelling and cursing at him, and tried telling Cyrus to "leave her property." Cyrus handled the situation with the tenant in a calm and professional manner. Eventually, Cyrus was able to defuse the situation.Cyrus was very thorough in his walk through and noted all damages incurred from the tenant and immediately called me. I was extremely thankful for Cyrus' attention to detail noting the damages. Again, Cyrus eased my mind ensuring that he would deal with the management company and ensure they hold the tenants responsible and pay for damages. Cyrus did an amazing job keeping on top of the management company. Cyrus ensured the management company was meeting timelines for tenants vacating and repairing damages to get property back to showcase condition.Once the management company handed over the keys, Cyrus already had photography scheduled and had the house on the market within days. Even through the COVID 19 pandemic restrictions, Cyrus attracted 4 offer in the first 24 hours and brought 10 offers to me after 6 days. Cyrus was very patient and explained each offer in detail so I was able to select and move forward with the best offer. The buyer was an out of state buyer and Cyrus Cyrus made the process extremely smooth and easy. In the end, we sold the house for over market value and over our asking price in a very timely manner! All credit is given to Cyrus for this accomplishment!
Cyrus and Jenna worked tirelessly to help us get into our beautiful new home!! Jenna must have shown us DOZENS of houses to find one that was perfect for us. We were anxious first time home buyers, and they patiently answered all of our many many questions, weekends/nights/holidays. This team is excellent at what they do, and overall just good people! Personable and professional, we couldn’t be happier we found them. We love Jenna and Cyrus and recommend them to everyone we know. Thank you very much!!!
Cyrus was extremely helpful during our PCS from South Carolina. We bought our house site unseen. Cyrus did video walkthrough and made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire home buying process.
I cannot recommend Cyrus highly enough. He was helpful, professional, and very knowledgeable. Our situation was unique, but not unheard of, and Cyrus's expertise on VA loans and the entire process made the situation as stress-free as possible. We found the perfect home and could not have done it with anyone else!
Cyrus is amazing! He is very upfront about everything and if you want your house sold fast he is guy. The service provided was great, he works with an amazing photographer that will make your house look stunning and really took the stress out of selling a home. Can’t thank him enough for helping my family out!
First of all 5 stars doesn't show even the gratitude my husband and I feel toward Cyrus for our experience, because going well out of your way for us was huge and making sure we got a home in such a sellers market without the extreme stress made our lives that much easier.If you are ever questioning the kind of Realtor you want Cyrus is the way to go, his aggressiveness in this industry and market is a must, we never felt like we would get a house that wasn't to our standards.In an area we knew nothing about he made sure to have areas put together for ease of searching and knew when we weren't enjoying what we were seeing.He kept us up to date on everything and pushed for quick responses on anything we needed guidance with. He worked for us and made sure we were happy and got things we wanted/needed. Thank you for everything this is our most exciting time and it couldn't have been more perfect!
Cyrus is awesome, that's all there really is to say. If you need a Realtor who works overtime, knows the market inside and out, and will work For you, look no further. I was initially very nervous purchasing a new home as we are PCSing from the east coast amd we're unable to go to the Seattle area in person. Cyrus was more then accommodating, everyone we loved he gave us an honest assessment and a video walk through. His knowledge of local lenders was also extremely helpful. One of the lenders he hooked me up with got me a rate .35 lower then the lender I went with originally, saving me like 14k in the process. More tuen anything, Cyrus was honest and trustworthy. He will tell you like it is and give you his honest opinion everytime. When the time comes for me to sell this house, I know who I'm going to call. Thank you Cyrus!
As a Veteran I wanted to work with a Veteran broker familiar with VA Home loan clients and found Cyrus. I guess you can say timing is everything, the first day of our search we found our home, made an offer that was accepted and were off to the races! Cyrus was very helpful throughout the whole process looking after our interests regarding any issues with the property that needed to be addressed. 28 days from accepted offer to close is how it went for us!
I started working with Cyrus over 8 months ago to find a house in Tacoma, Washington. Cyrus and his team are knowledgeable and incredibly responsive. He was well informed about the VA process and let me know what to expect every step of the way. He's very familiar with the intricacies of VA loans and can accurately describe the loan process to put the seller at ease. He crafted a competitive offer within my limits, which secured me the house of my dreams in one of the hottest markets. Once I was ready to get preapproved and serious about buying, Cyrus was able to get me under contract extremely quickly by staying on top of the process. I was then able to close with keys in hand in record time (21 days). I would absolutely work with him again and recommend him to friends looking to buy.
We started our house hunting journey in the midst of COVID-19 and it was not easy. Due to the uncertain circumstances, we made sure we had the most professional, trust worthy, experienced, and knowledgable real estate agent available in the area. Cyrus checks all those marks and many more. We are a newly married military couple who moved to Washington State without any knowledge about buying a house or the market. Cyrus patiently worked with us for almost a year to find the perfect home. His constant market updates, personalized advice, and flexibility made us extremely comfortable buyers. Within a few meetings and showings, he knew exactly what type of house we were looking for. He was honest and always guided us to the right path to find a house that’s worth investing. When we did find our perfect home and wanted to use a VA loan, he was absolutely deliberate and aggressive in his process to close the deal with the seller. The best thing about Cyrus is his ability to provide professional service but also give honest and candid feedback like a friend who would tell us what’s best for us. If we were to buy another house in a few years, we will hands down reach out to Cyrus again to find the perfect home.
Where to start ! When looking to buy I couldn’t believe how competitive the market has become , I had put 7 offers and lost ( yes 7 not exaggerating ) my wife and I were about ready to give up since we believe there wasn’t much other strategies other then high offers closing cost and earnest money amount . We chose to take a chance and try with Cyrus saw that he had great reviews and was veteran and veteran friendly and man did he deliver ! First after speaking with him he had so many strategies to beat the competition and guess what after the 1st offer with him we got the home ! I wish we would have gone with him the first time since we lost out on a lot of ideal homes with the other agent overall happy and still got us an amazing home ! Definitely recommend him to anyone friends and family ! Thanks again Cyrus!
Mr Bonnet worked with us for over a year while I was deployed and preparing for our move. Our timeline was very tight and he spent a lot of time focusing our search and informing us on the local markets. With a short window to PCS and get our youngest in school it was incredibly important to have an agent who answered questions and addressed issues regardless of the time or weekend. We would absolutely recommend Cyrus to anyone looking for a home in the area.
Cyrus and his team helped my wife and I land our first home a couple months ago. Not only did he help to walk us through the process but he was incredibly knowledgeable on where the market stood. With how competitive it is to be shopping for a home in the puget sound area right now it was very reassuring to have someone who understood the market so well and kept us competitive with our offers. With how he was able to structure our offers and and what the house would most likely appraise for we were able to get our dream home early on in the process! Cyrus and his team worked with us on several occasions late into the evening to make sure we got our offers in on time. I can’t recommend this team enough. Thanks Cyrus!
Cyrus was awesome to work with, and very accommodating throughout the home buying process. There were many unforseen challenges due to Covid, but he kept the process as smooth as possible. It was a joy to work with him! Highly recommend!
Cyrus was a very accommodating realtor. He recommended a great lender which helped simplify a lot of things for me as a first time buyer. Before we moved out to Washington, he visited some properties on our behalf and sent us videos of the properties. Nearly everything was done over email and cellphone, which is a great convenience for anyone who is also busy with clearing post, packing, and/or driving across the country.Cyrus's inspector, Mike, was also a great resource. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. We ended up walking away from two different properties due to issues uncovered by the inspection. I think Cyrus really wants his clients to end up with a good property. It seems like he works well with seller's agents in order to make sure his clients get a properly maintained/repaired house.I would recommend Cyrus to any service member PCSing to JBLM.
Cyrus did an amazing job helping my wife and I find our dream home. I was deployed to Kuwait and my wife was still in Kentucky at the time. Cyrus was patient and was able to provide video walkthroughs of the properties we were interested in. We couldn't have done it without him. Great job!
Cyrus told our agent the house was clean, but I literally spent an extra week in a hotel and making trips to the house to deep clean it before moving in (to include scrubbing fecal spray off of the toilets) and what can only be described as brown sludge out of each cabinet and 30 years of soap scum out of the showers. Ended up just replacing the appliances down to the microwave they were so nasty. As a service member moving a whole family from one end of the country to the other and needing to arrive ready to deploy overseas next month, all I need is some transparency. I could have scheduled a cleaning service to prep it for our arrival.When I switched lenders for a better rate I also saw email traffic between him and my agent that was less than professional and implying that I had to ask for permission from the seller/sellers agent to switch lenders. Get real.The current market and the JBLM demographic in the area allows ppl to bill themselves as “Military Focused”, but I’m pretty underwhelmed with the way it was handled.
Buying a new home in a new place on a short time limit is stressful. Buying a home in the current real estate market when your last home purchase was over 10 years ago is terrifying. Cyrus was professional, unbelievably knowledgeable, and beyond excellent every step of the way. The man works tirelessly to ensure you find a home, and we found the perfect space. Every company or person he suggested to us was fantastic and the process was as simple and stress free as possible. If you are relocating to this area, I cannot recommend Cyrus Bonnet enough.
Cyrus was great to work with when we were buying our first home! He specializes in VA loans which was important to my husband and I. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor who was looking out for us throughout the process. Would definitely recommend him to friends/family looking to purchase their home.
Cyrus was great! He worked around the clock to make sure my first home buying experience went as smooth as possible. Over 3/4 of the process was done while I was in a different state. 10/10 would recommend.
Cyrus and his team did a great job listing, marketing and ensuring the sale of our house. We needed and agent who was military friendly, knows the market, and provides excellent client service. We were glad to find all of these qualities in Cyrus and more. Cyrus is a great communicator and we were kept informed throughout the entire process. We received a good offer above the listing price within a few days of listing our house. Cyrus ensured that our first time selling a house was a less stressful and relatively smooth process. We highly recommend Cyrus to all military, veterans and anyone who wants to work with an extremely reliable, very personable and highly professional real estate agent who goes above and beyond to meet the needs of his clients.Thank you Cyrus.CSM(Retired) R. and Family
Super easy to work with and very flexible. Decided to sell our house a few weeks earlier than we had discussed and it was no issue. The pictures and video taken to list our house were very professional and looked great. Overall it was a super smooth sell and Cyrus made the process much easier than we had expected.
If you have plans to / or are working to buy or sell a home in Washington, then you need to talk to Cyrus. If you aren’t, then you’re already two steps behind the competition. Washington is a competitive market, if you’re looking to WIN, you want CYRUS on your team. I’m so grateful for the help he has provided my family and I in order purchase our first home! He helped us from literally ground zero, to moving in. Thank you Cyrus!
So thankful for Cyrus! As a military family, it’s so hard to find someone you can rely and trust with your home from out of state. Im so glad I found him. He took care of everything to have our house ready for sale. We had to sell our house before we could purchase another in our new duty station. We we’re able to close in less than a month and this made it possible for us to move on with our new purchase without no problem. Thank you Cyrus..
Cyrus helped make our home selling experience quick and painless. We were selling a property from out of state, which could have been hard, but Cyrus was able to help us handle everything remotely with no issues.
Incredibly hard working realtor. Cyrus was able to get us under contract in a very intense market, while my family and I were across the country. He is very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to the home buying process.
I couldnt have asked for a better realtor. This was my husband and I's second time trying to buy a home. We had attempted before in another state but our realtor was very dishonest and we ended up having to back out because of issues with the title. I told Cyrus about this prior experience and how nervous I was to be attempting to buy a home again. Especially since I had never lived in or visited washington before and was currently living on the opposite side of the country. I made only one trip to washington and cyrus made sure that I felt that I had enough time to look for a home. As soon as I was ready to put in an offer on a home he didnt hesitate for a second before getting the paperwork together. He was very forth coming and honest and answered any questions I had. I will definitely tell anyone I know looking to rent, buy, or sell a home in washington to go to Cyrus Bonnet. And when/if we ever choose to sell our home Cyrus will be the first one I call.
From the get go Cyrus fought tooth and nail for us. After missing out on one accepted offer, he kept finding homes and eventually sent us the house we now live in! Cyrus’s negotiation skills are out of this world and if you (the buyer) do not have to or should not have to pay for something, he will negotiate his way until you get the best deal for the house you are buying! If you’re looking for an agent, this is the man to go to!
Cyrus was very friendly, and experienced with military families. Very helpful to us to get our home sold quickly. Loved his approach to advertising the home. The blog was wonderful.
Cyrus was great, he worked with me across the country and helped us find a home perfect four our family and our budget. He was professional and there was no pressure in working with him.
Cyrus recently helped me sell my first house. He was courteous, knowledgeable, efficient, and was always available to answer my questions. He told me exactly what I needed to do to sell my house and we closed within a month of listing it. By far the best agent I have worked with.
UPDATE 10/2018I had the honor of working with Cyrus again for the sale of my home. In 2012 Cyrus was my relator when looking for a waterfront property. He started showing us property quickly throughout the Tacoma and Bonney Lake area. Cyrus is intelligent and hard working. He caters to your pace. He was extremely knowledgeable in VA especially for being new to the game. Cyrus’ diligence and no quit attitude directly contributed to the purchase of my first home. It wasn’t an easy buy either! It was a short sale property that took over 9 months for their bank to agree and close on our offer. Cyrus kept positive and kept me up to date throughout the process. I’m sure behind the scenes it was a difficult process but Cyrus always had a smile on his face and was motivated to get the property we wanted. I couldn’t have done it without him!Fast forward 6 years later. I of course picked Cyrus to sell this home. This time everything changed. This was Cyrus 2.0. Six years of experience gave Cyrus a whole another level of realty. Cyrus was amazing in advising me in every aspect of the sale. He’s quick to respond and professional. Although, I somehow attract difficult purchases. But in less than 5 months and dealing with a double contingency, Cyrus was able to sell my home for almost double what I purchased it for in 2012. I would say this was an easy sale for Cyrus only because how calm and collected he was during the process.I can’t thank Cyrus enough for his professionalism and persistence. Cyrus is the realtor who can handle any type of sale or purchase.06/20012Cyrus has done an exceptional job of helping my wife and I find and purchase our first home. He has a professional demeanor and an excellent work ethic. Before he started showing us homes, we went out for dinner to get to know each other and find out what we were looking for in a home. We had a difficult requirement of a water front property with a limited budget. Immediately Cyrus began showing us homes around the Tacoma and Bonney Lake area. When we found a home that we liked, Cyrus quickly began to submit all the documents needed to close house as soon as he could. The house was a short sale so it was a lengthy process. The lenders and the city continually delayed the closing date and made it almost impossible to close the house. Though the process was long and at some points, difficult, Cyrus kept a positive attitude and updated us frequently. It was because of Cyrus’ hard work and stubbornness that we were able to close on the home. We are now proud owners of a lake front property on Bonney Lake.Cyrus understands the VA loans and process by heart. He has the ability to explain step by step to first time home buyers the process and confusing details of home buying. Cyrus is prompt in responding to calls, texts, and emails. He has been a pleasure to work with and we will continue to work with him when we begin looking into investment homes.Thanks Cyrus,Aaron and Katherine Tran
Cyrus is a real professional. We needed a real estate agent that knew the Tacoma market and someone who could help complete the sale without delays. Cyrus worked from the start to quickly understand our requirements for a quick sale. Cyrus' property assessment, pricing inputs, and estimated time to sell were all timely and accurate. We couldn't be happier with the support he provided, including clearing unforeseen hurdles, and the final results. We recommend Cyrus without reservation if you are in the market for, or are looking to sell, your next property.Brock & Sheila Tubbs
Cyrus is a complete professional who genuinely cares about every aspect of a client's needs. Our closing presented multiple obstacles and Cyrus not only helped us easily navigate the ones he was directly involved in, but he also helped with our issues from the other sale where he actually cared more than the agent handling our sale. Truly a pleasure to deal with!
Being first time home buyers is stressful enough as it is, but Cyrus explained the process as well as the VA Loan very well. He cleared our confusion easily and he was very efficient. We had limited time. In the time we had Cyrus found us the a home. Thank you so much!
After losing out with another realtor on what we thought was the perfect home, my wife and I found Cyrus based on his numerous positive reviews, VA loan experience, and knowledge of the Tacoma market. It was apparent after our first meeting that he was exactly the realtor to help us find what we were looking for. Cyrus is extremely personable and easy to work with. His work ethic and level of professionalism not only left us fully confident in his abilities to find the right home, but also led to closing on a property that I truly believe would not have been possible had we used another realtor. My wife and I have purchased several times and this was by far the easiest and most enjoyable process we've experienced. I am a strong believer that the right realtor/real estate professional is as important as finding the right home, and I cannot recommend Cyrus enough.
I first worked with Mr. Bonnet last year to buy a home. Because if that experience, there was no other choice when it came time to purchase another. The guy knows the area and advises his clients well. He also has the communication skills and motivation to keep the deal going smoothly. Definitely would recommend to anybody buying a home.
Cyrus is a professional far above reproach. He is communicative, knowledgeable, and incredibly diligent. He got us a showing on short notice, patiently helped us write our offer, and counseled us through the entire home buying/VA home loan process. His advice and insight on putting together an attractive offer proved correct - we got the house we had chosen! I can't even begin to thank Cyrus enough. He came highly recommended - deservedly so. Zero complaints - I can't imagine you'll find a better realtor in Pierce county.
As a first time buyer back in 2014 Cyrus led me make one of the best decisions of my life in buying my first home. I was nervous and unsure at the time, but Cyrus’s confidence and understanding of the market and in his business motivated me to buy my home. I loved the house and had an amazing experience during the buying process. Four years later I came back to him when it was time for me to move away from the area. Once again Cyrus did a great job offering advice and guidance in the selling process. I commend his professionalism and knowledge as a Real Estate Agent and highly recommend him to anyone thinking about buying or selling a home.
Cyrus is one of the best realtor in town. We are very lucky to have his help through out our house buying process. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy a house in the area
Cyrus did a great job helping to direct us to a neighborhood that fit both our needs and budget. He was honest about all listings and helped us see the good and bad in every house we viewed in order for us to make a decision with all available information. Cyrus made us feel like we were a number one priority even though we were searching during high peak house hunting season.
As a first time home buyer, Cyrus was extremely helpful and answered any questions I had. He was always quick to respond when I had any questions and made the entire process simple and painless. Thank you Cyrus!!
Cyrus has mastered the "art" of customer service and professionalism. He knows what he is doing, and he knows how to explain it to those of us who don't live and breathe real estate. His passion for the area and for those he serves is evident in all he does-- His patience, his follow-through, his persistence, his time and his insight all left me feeling completely supported and "armed" if-you-will throughout the sale of my home. There aren't enough stars to appropriately rate the scope of Cyrus' aptitude and grace in his profession. I was continually impressed with his support and knowledge and recommend him with full confidence to anyone looking to buy or sell.
My husband & I met Cyrus a few years back and kept in contact until we were ready to start the process of buying. He always answered any questions we had thru the years, had great referals & reccomendations, and was always quick to show us any properties we were interested in. We chose Cyrus due to his experience working with the VA loans, which can be a longer process. Cyrus was always a pleasure to work with and made our first home buying experience an easy one! He always had our best interest in mind, & even kept workig while he was away on vacay. We very much appreciate everything he's done for us and we would recommend him to our closest friends & family! He was great & we couldn't be more happy!:)
If you want an agent who will work their hardest and get results, I would highly recommend Cyrus Bonnet! Thank you so much for your assistance in selling my home!!
My husband and I had the opportunity to work with Cyrus Bonnet for both the sale of our current home and the purchase of a new home. We had already been in contact with a couple of agents and weren't fully committed to one yet. We knew that whoever we were going to choose was going to walk away with a lot of cash from our sales and we wanted to be confident that our agent would work for us and have our best interests in mind. After reaching out to Cyrus regarding a short sale home we realized that he was exactly what we were looking for. He not only responded immediately to all of our questions, he was very knowledgeable about the industry and the process of how we would need to approach each type of sale (foreclosures, short sales, regular sales).Cyrus's knowledge and experience also saved us a lot of money for the sale of our home. When he first came to our house the inside wasn't finished, the outside didn't even have grass, and we had an extremely long list of what we thought needed to be done in order to sell the house. Cyrus could see past all of that and he narrowed our list down to a couple of key things which, in turn, sold our house for roughly $20k more then what the comps came in at. There are a lot of great agents out there but it takes an experienced agent to understand the fine line of where to invest your money vs. wasting your time and money on unneeded additions.For the purchase of our home, I can confidently say that if we didn't have Cyrus as our agent we probably wouldn't have gotten this beautiful BRAND NEW house that we are in today. My husband and I were extremely picky (and random) in what we were looking for and Cyrus was patient with us throughout the process. The market that we were searching in was very sparse and very aggressive. Plus, the type of house and land that we were wanting seemed to be what everyone else wanted too. I would probably describe Cyrus as a "viper" when it comes to getting you a house. We put in a very aggressive offer and the seller had decided to go with a different one. Since our house was already pending and we REALLY wanted this new house we didn't take no as an answer. Cyrus was able to act quickly, negotiating on our behalf to find an acceptable offer for the seller.I believe that this is a pretty rare quality in agents and if you are buying or selling, Cyrus is the agent you want in your corner. He will go above and beyond (even after your sales are closed) to make sure that you are happy with your purchase and any issues are resolved (especially with new construction). We had some rare document issues, last minute, with our bank that could have cost us our new home. Cyrus fought for us every step of the way and wasn't afraid to do or say what needed to be done.I recommend that you at least meet with Cyrus if you are shopping around for agents. His professionalism, knowledge, and attentiveness are some of many qualities you definitely want representing you.
Cyrus is awesomeness personified. We arrived from Texas wanting badly to find just the right home. We had attempted 6 months earlier to find a home with another realty company but had to return to Texas disappointed and disillusioned. Cyrus spent ALL the time we needed driving us around to countless home in and around the Tacoma, WA area. And he helped us find the PERFECT home. As a fellow Veteran, I am proud and humbled to be in league with such a professional, helpful, intelligent, hard working, diligent and HONEST gent. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Cyrus for anyone seeking the perfect home!
First time buyer here and was not happy with my agent, so I decided to give Cyrus a shot. Cyrus took care of me from the jump and was in contact with me daily. He answered the plethora of questions that I had and if he couldn't he would say so but also direct me in the right direction. He never hesitated to show me a home and educated me on things to look out for and made me a more savoy buyer.I took a few of his recommendations and they paid off literally. Using my V.A. loan for the first time I ended up not coming out of pocket at all and ended up 250$ in the positive after closing. He negotiated for me and got everything I wanted and some. I ended up buying a home and making equity instantly. I love my new Gig Harbor home and feel like Cyrus was always looking out for my best interest. I would recommend Cyrus Bonnet in a heartbeat.
Cyrus was a saver in mine and my wife's journey to being a first time home buyer. He was our third and best realtor out there. Please don't make the same mistake we made, go with him first. Cyrus I believe can work with whatever circumstance you have. He has great lenders that work with you and inspectors as well. Cyrus is very knowledgeable and adjust to what you think. He does not force you into any home and is available all the time.
Cyrus is one of the best Realtors and Agents that I know of. Not only is he great, but he believes in God, has morals and values and is ethical. When I first met him, I knew it was going to be an exciting partnership to sell our house. After making suggestions based off of his years of expertise and experience, we sold our house. I am proud to say that he is no longer our Agent and Realtor, but our fellow friend. He takes care of not only Veterans like himself, but anyone who dares to give him a chance. He will not sleep until he gets the job done for his clients. You can give him a call anytime and he will answer. He goes above and beyond for you. It is a shame I cannot take him with us when we PCS soon from JBLM to another duty station. Thanks from The Malloy Family!!!
This was our very first experience buying a house and we couldn't be more thankful to have Cyrus there with us every step of the way! He was thorough, patient and answered any and all questions that came up. He helped us through every step of the process and advocated for us more than we could have wished for. He was professional, very personable and made the dream of purchasing our first home a reality! We could not be any more thankful for our experience with Cyrus and we would not recommend any realtor more highly than him! Thank you Cyrus!!!
Cyrus was awesome!!! Was attentive throughout the whole process! Was available anytime we needed him with questions and concerns. Really appreciated his advice and suggestions on what to look for along with what we wanted too.Thank you!!!
The epitome of what a true Real Estate agent should be. He was dedicated to helping me find a home. Even after months and months he never wavered, staying dedicated to finding me my dream home. He is a kind, down to earth business professional. I would recommend him to any of my friends or family.Buying a home isn't an easy process and it pays to have someone on your side who cares about you as if you were there only client. Always being available even while on VACATION! He impressed me beyond belief and made the process smooth.
Cyrus helped us sell our home in record time! He was thorough, professional and responsive throughout the process. He has such a wonderful, positive attitude and that is why I selected to work with him. He did not disappoint. Every detail was streamlined to make the transaction as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend Cyrus!
