Searching for a home in the Port Angeles / Sequim area from Europe was a challenge. We were skeptical of using a real estate agent for our search and even more skeptical about buying a home sight unseen. While trying how to figure out how to go about our search we came across the idea of using a buyers agent to represent us in our search. This is what lead us to Chuck via a YouTube search of Sequim. We listened to a few videos, sent Chuck an email and scheduled a call. Chuck explained the area and real estate market. His experiences in business, law and real estate gave us the confidence to move forward to find a home. Chuck was able to make technology work with live streams for homes of interest. There’s nothing like being there but Chuck made it the next best things. Chuck also did the leg work on issues and solutions on any details of a home and its systems. We didn’t know water/wells were such a large issue in the area, but Chucks experience steered us away from issues. Chuck looked out for OUR interest and that’s all we wanted because we were not on sight to look ourselves. We highly recommend using Chuck as a Buyer’s agent! Rob & Joanna, Lodz Poland Less

I used Chuck Marinade as a buyer's agent. I spent a couple months working with him. He showed me properties from Joyce to Port Ludlow. He is a great listener and really tries to understand what you're looking for and match you to an appropriate property. Chuck Marinade is the man you need in your corner! Less

We discovered Chuck while searching from California for local expertise on shoreline erosion issues along the Olympic coast. His knowledge saved us from several million dollar mistakes through his ability to link us to the several available Federal and state sites of historic coastal photos and flood-plain evaluations. Chuck saved us another 50K by devising a bidding strategy for the house we finally bought after a long..long search process that went from the Elwha River to Marrowstone Island. Chuck was exceedingly patient with us, and we never felt any pressure to speed up our decision process. Chuck's long term experience as a realtor also gave us some insight to some of the truly whacky things we were hearing from sellers, and Chuck knew how to comb the records to invalidate the sometime puzzling "facts." Chuck's sense of humor also helped diffuse the tension of making this important financial and social decision. During our search, we probably talked to 25 local realtors. Chuck was by far the best, and his approach as a "buyer's" realtor made a big difference. Less

My sister, brother-in-law and I were looking for a home with an ADU in Sequim, WA. Kathy and Ray had previously lived in Sequim for 8 years, but a family situation required them to relocate to the east coast. We interviewed several real estate agents to assist us in finding the perfect home in Sequim. We selected Chuck Marunde, based on his extensive knowledge of the Sequim and Port Angeles areas, his successful record of sales, his understanding of local and regional regulations, and with his JD degree, has a comprehensive command of real estate law. Chuck helped us find the perfect home in the Old Town area of Sequim. Our new home was exactly what we wanted, a home with some acreage and an ADU. Chuck represented and performed the tasks of buyer's agent, of overseeing the mortgage broker process and in assisting with a successful closing, flawlessly. He is the complete real estate agent and real estate broker package. Chuck is very reliable, stays in direct communication with the buyer and remains involved in the process until the transaction is completed. I recommend Chuck Marunde, and Sequim and Port Angeles Real Estate Agency as a great resource in anyone's search for a home in the greater Sequim, WA area. Less

We found Chuck Marunde's web page and blogs very informative, so we chose him as our agent for our move from California to Sequim.
