"I have known Bob Rothstein and utilized his real estate services for over 25 years. The services have ranged from appraisal and consulting, brokerage services, market research and analysis, to measurement of market elements affecting risk and strength of various segments of the real estate market.

Bob’s experience and understanding of real estate valuation, development, and marketing as well as his ability to track and measure the financial and risk elements of the real estate industry have contributed to results that have outperformed the market on a consistent basis.

The scope of Bob’s experience ranges from development of raw land to single and multiple family residences to commercial and institutional grade real estate projects. His expertise is consistent regardless of size of project or assignment.

In addition to dealing with Bob on a professional basis relative to the real estate business, I have known him on a personal basis as well and have the highest regard for his integrity and professionalism."

"My first professional experience with Bob Rothstein was when he served as an expert witness on behalf of my client in a real estate case. Bob was an extremely well prepared, articulate witness, who defended his position well against some very capable cross examination.

A few years later, Bob was my agent for both the sale of my then-current residence and the purchase of my new residence. He returned all phone calls promptly and was very easy to reach.

He was always well prepared and thorough in his value analyses, but his real strength is putting together a deal that works, without loose ends. Rothstein’s skills as a real property sale or purchase negotiator are an easy magnitude better than I have ever encountered."

"Just wanted to tell you again how much we appreciated all you did for us. We were very pleased with the final results of the sale of our property, and attribute that in large part to your skill as a broker. Your professionalism and expertise were invaluable not only in handling the final closing, but also in getting us through the entire year of ups and downs dealing with various developers. Your honesty and forthright attitude made it possible for us to deal with the frustrations of a difficult sale. Thank you for helping us begin the next chapter in our lives."

Dan and Lauren Altice

"We first retained Bob Rothstein in the Fall of 1990 for a price opinion on a multi-million dollar, waterfront residence. Undisclosed to Bob, the property had been valued by three separate firms whose value opinions fell within close proximity of each other, but less than our opinion of what the property might sell for, when marketed.

Bob's estimate was almost double that of the other three firms and less than 5% away from the actual sale price just a short time later.

Following this work, we retained Bob on an on-going basis for over a decade to provide research, analysis and marketing strategy for a large residential development project. His input was one of the key components to our outperforming the market at the time of sale.

Bob Rothstein possesses a unique understanding of market dynamics and worked reliably and diligently to help insure our success."

Wm. B. Rademaker, Jr., Attorney

"The most important thing to us when buying a home was to feel confident that we were making the right decision and that we wouldn't regret either the purchase or the process.

Robert Rothstein created a buying process for us that removed the fear of making the decision and, in turn, made us confident that we understood the market and could make informed choices.

The information we were given was thorough and impeccable. Just a couple weeks into the process we could accurately assess the value and quality of any home we viewed. We continue to recommend Mr. Rothstein to anyone who is pursuing a home or real estate investment."

Bob Rothstein is what has to be the most thorough, knowledgeable and hardest-working real estate professional in the greater Seattle area, if not the Pacific Northwest. Thanks for all your hard work on my behalf.

"I've known Bob for twenty seven years and never really understood what he did. I'm not a real estate professional and all the theoretical talk of projections and markets left me cold.

At a time when I thought of buying a 10 unit, apartment building near my home, Bob went out of his way to explain again why he thought that commercial real estate was under priced (at that time), and how he thought I could likely double my money in four years.

The index research that he had done really had me thinking and I realized that my beginning project was a great guinea pig for his unique view of the market. After only three years I had almost tripled my money and transitioned into a large commercial building, which I still own.

If you are lucky enough to have Bob Rothstein explain his method of anticipating the trends in real estate, I suggest you pay attention. Thank-you."

"It was a real pleasure to work with Bob. He went out of his way over and over again to find me the absolute best deal possible, including suggesting possibilities that would never have occurred to me. Highly recommended."

Richard Stockton

"I had the pleasure of working with Bob during my relocation from Portland to Seattle two years ago. Knowing my time and budget limitation, Bob was very helpful by previewing houses and sending me detailed e-mail reports supported by statistical analysis, so my brief visits to Seattle were maximally efficient. Once we found the house, Bob brilliantly handled the negotiation process. He also served as a great resource for recommending services like home inspection, mortgage brokers and such...

I highly regard Bob as a professional and as a human of great integrity. Anybody working with Bob Rothstein will appreciate the experience."
