“Lella Norberg is fabulous! When I found myself needing to sell two estate properties under a deadline, I called Lella. I knew of Lella’s reputation as a superior Realtor thanks to my mom, a long-term resident of Lella’s neighborhood. Lella brought an entire team in to prepare each property. Every detail was addressed efficiently and effectively. When the pictures of each house went up on the internet, they were simply stunning! The open houses were packed, multiple strong offers resulted, each closing was 30 days, and I met my deadline with room to spare! Would I recommend Lella to a friend or relative? Absolutely! I have done so already. Thank you, Lella!”
— Jana Ostlund

— Pam and Fernando Davila
“I had such a great experience with Lella! Beginning with our initial meeting where she laid out the process in really clear terms, and had recommendations for how I could approach the sale. In the actual sale process, her market analysis was easy to understand and made pricing the house so easy. Honestly, once we agreed on the price, Lella took over the marketing and my house sold in a matter of days for more than I was asking. I couldn’t recommend Lella more highly.”
— Greg Brisendine
“We have known Lella Nordberg since 2020. In that time, she demonstrated all the attributes of an accomplished professional. She is patient, dedicated and thorough. It has been refreshing to work with such an upbeat person during our recent purchase of a wonderful view home in Innis Arden.”
— Pat Fayerweather
“Lella was so fantastic to work with! I had heard about her through word-of-mouth, and she lived up to the legend. She was always very prompt with communications and immediately understood what we were looking for in a home. Furthermore, Lella’s knowledge and insights are unparalleled. It felt like she knew every inch of Seattle, and I swear she could walk into a home and tell you everything good and bad about it within five minutes. We couldn’t have purchased our first home without her guidance or determination. She worked with our tiny, out-of-state bank to help us create our offer, and after we placed our bid, she continued to pitch us to the selling agent. If we decide to purchase a new property in the future, Lella will be the first person we call. I cannot recommend her services enough! Thank you for all your help Lella :)”
— Cynthia Hannon

— Rich Olson
“Working with Lella to guide us through our purchase and sale journey was great. We were able to successfully close on a great house in Shoreline/Richmond Beach, and very quickly after moving she had everything lined up to get our old home in Seattle/Madrona prepped/listed/sold as the market was rapidly changing. She stayed on top of both the purchase and sale timelines and both closed on time with no issues, very grateful for her hard work and professionalism.”
— Matt Martinsen

Lella is a trustworthy and dependable person for buying or selling a home, and I could not have done it without her care and counsel.”

“Lella was such a pleasure to work with. Her knowledge of how to prepare for the sale, guiding us through what we did and did not need to do to get our home ready, was a lifesaver! Without her, we would have done much more work and spent a lot more money than was really needed. She kept us informed about what to expect and when it should happen as the process played out. We would highly recommend Lella!! And 5 stars of course!!”

“Lella Norberg of Windermere Real Estate Shoreline is a superb realtor and manager who provided far more counsel and help than I expected. She convinced me that refurbishing the house would more than pay for itself and arranged for contractors to do the needed tasks—interior painting & floor covering, plumbing, electrical work, roof cleaning, deep cleaning kitchen & bathrooms, an online estate sale, and tidying up the landscape. She more than earned her commission. The house sold quickly at more than the asking price.”
— Alan Wagar
“We worked with Lella to purchase a new home and sell our previous one. Our whole family enjoyed working with her! She has a bounty of knowledge and experience in the Shoreline area.This was evident in how well she prepared us for every step of home buying and selling so that when the time came to make an offer or list our house we were ready and it felt easy. We were worried that selling our previous house would be tricky as it was a unique listing, Lella was not worried and had a clear plan to get the property listed, viewed, and sold. She also already had contractors for anything we needed to do to either residence, having a great person already vetted to do a job was such a relief. On top of all this Lella was incredibly easy to communicate with and was very responsive. We don’t plan on moving again but if we do Lella will be the one we choose to work with.”
— Kyle & Wendy L., Meridian Park, Shoreline.
“Lella Norberg is very professional, personable and responsive about the sale of a house or property. She represented the sale of my house better than I could have represented myself which was comforting She made buyers understanding and satisfied any and all questions or concerns. She was ahead of the process with advise about the steps and situation. She performed the little tasks that make a difference for both buyer and seller. I would highly recommend having Lella represent you on the buying or selling a house or property.”
— Robert N., Innis Arden, Shoreline.
“Lella was recommended by our lender, and she has been amazing. She helped us find a new home and listed & sold our old home and made both processes very easy. During the buying process she was always very prompt showing us new listings we might be interested in and was willing to go with us to viewings at short notice. She is knowledgeable about the local market and gave good advice about how to make a good offer. We would not have been able to get our dream home with out her being on top of things. When selling our old home, Lella gave good advice during the whole process, setting a good listing price and hiring a listing photographer that took amazing pictures of the property. She was also flexible when winter weather lead to cancellations of some viewings. We would definitely recommend working with Lella when buying or selling a property!”
— Breanna Evans
“Lella was amazing to work with for selling my home. She gave great suggestions for prepping the house and getting it ready for pictures and for showing. Pictures showed the place off very well and gave the true feel of it. I had a tenant in the house that had a fairly strict schedule and with COVID-19 going on Lella was able to work around my tenant’s schedule for showings even with last minute changes. She explained the whole selling process and fees so I knew exactly what expect, she walked me through everything . I highly recommend going with Lella for buying or selling a home.”
— Glory Edwards
“We highly recommend Lella. She was invaluable guiding us through the preparation and sale of our house—giving us advice on what needed to be done; providing names and contacts for inspections, workers and stagers; listening to our needs and answering our questions quickly; and communicating every step of the way through signing. Always professional, calm and friendly. We could not have found a better realtor to sell our house.”
— Kathryn & Mark DeMeritt
“Lella is excellent, I gladly give my highest recommendation. From my initial contact with her, I knew I had found an expert to guide me through the sale of my home, as well as a lovely person to share this process with. My timeline changed at the start of our work together, and it was clear that my best interests were always her priority. When I was ready to sell, I received her straightforward and wise guidance on timing and preparation. She knows the market very well, and had excellent resources for everything needed to help my home look its absolute best.
My house sold in one week, with 13 offers and a sale price and price per foot significantly above my expectations. I feel very fortunate to know Lella and to have chosen her as my realtor. She is a very professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy and kind person who earned my full confidence from start to finish.”
— Barbara Minogue
“I cannot state enough how grateful and great it was work with Lella. She had the perfect set-up of a “love or list it” situation with my husband and I. But me being the person that didn’t want to move, she helped us find the perfect home. Her negotiation skills were spot on and we absolutely wouldn’t be in our ideal home without them. On top of the stresses of buying and selling, we signed for our new home on the same day the schools closed because of the coronavirus. Meaning she supported us in finding and hiring workers and then mitigating all the new regulations for getting our previous home sold. She is one smart lady that knows the market and can adapt to unknown situations. I highly recommend her.”
— Heidi & Mark Schindler
“Lella has been AMAZING this last year. Her knowledge of the marketplace is top notch, and she helped me immeasurably with the cleanup, clear out and overall preparation of our family home for sale. Lella read the marketplace perfectly and got the job done quickly, ethically and intelligently. I can’t recommend Lella enough.”
— Ginny Strang
“I live out of state and worked with Lella several times over the past year when I visited family in the area. She quickly ascertained the type of home I was looking for, and took me to properties that fit my criteria. I was able to find a condo that best met my needs, and she helped me every step of the way, even after closing. She is friendly, professional, and cares about her clients. ”
— Sheryl Eldridge
“Lella Norberg’s experience, competence, professionalism, ethics, and grace make her an outstanding choice for a real estate agent. She quickly hones in to what her clients want. She has a keen awareness of the market, making sure nothing gets missed. Lella can introduce clients to professionals to help buyers get loan approval, and to people who will effectively close a purchase or sale. As buyers, she made sure we had as much information and experience as we needed to make informed choices. Our visits to view properties were always focused on our interests and needs. She was genuine and honest when we asked for her impressions and opinions. When we prepared an offer, it was informed, competitive, brilliantly timed and orchestrated. In listing our property, she had people to help us prepare it for sale. She stayed on top of the market for pricing and timing the sale, then invested creatively in the presentation and strategy to attract offers. Whether buying or selling a property, she supports her clients through the purchase or sale to closing. In all her interactions with us, with buyers, sellers, other agents, and people supporting real estate transactions, she was engaging, ethical, open, firm, and a pleasure to know. It is hard to imagine how you could do better than asking Lella Norberg to assist you in buying your new home, or selling your current one. Plus, you have the enjoyment of her company through the process!”
— Esther & Jim Moore
“Lella is the best - conscientious, proactive, thorough, professional. We initially contacted her nearly 10 years ago when we were first thinking about selling our unit. Even though we didn’t end up listing at the time, Lella kept us informed with personal messages about market trends in our area. So when we decided to finally put our place on the market, Lella was our first choice. Though our unit was small and at the lower end of the market range, Lella treated it as any of the other homes she represents, with thoughtful advice about timing, pricing and staging. Our listing photos were first-class. When our sale ran into a glitch Lella was right on top of it - keeping us informed and ensuring a successful transaction. Thank you, Lella!”
— Cheryl Goerger & Loren Seely
“Having seen Lella at work in our neighborhood, we knew wanted to list with her. She guided us through the process of getting our home ready to show and, in short order, we were on the market and sold in a week for above the list price, despite the fact that the home’s location precluded even having an open house. She totally understood the unique appeal of our property and her marketing skills are superb, evidenced by over 3500 hits on the internet listing. Earlier in the year Lella also was our agent in buying our current home, where her responsiveness and negotiation style also worked to our benefit. We recommend her without reservation; we could not have done any of it without her!”
— Roxana & Thomas Augusztiny
“When the time came to sell my mom’s home, I quickly called Lella, as she did a superior job selling my partner’s home a few years ago. As this sale would be part of an estate, family members were involved. Lella handled all transactions with diplomacy, grace, and great negotiating skills. We got the best result possible and she made everyone happy! One out-of-state relative remarked: “Now, if we could only clone Lella!”. From giving us tips to get the home ready for staging, to marketing, and then negotiating the final offers, I had great confidence in Lella every step of the way. She is professional and well-prepared as well as being warm-hearted and genuine. She made the daunting task of selling a home an actual pleasure—Five Stars all around!”
— Stephen Polich
“Lella was wonderful! She knows the Seattle area market well. She had helpful suggestions for our home and we sold in one week, with multiple offers. She is great with communicating updates and her marketing efforts are top level. Highly recommend Lella! ”
— Janice & Craig Campbell
“Lella is a true master in the real estate arena. She is exceptionally skilled when it comes to knowing the local market and she prepares a very thoughtful and accurate market analysis. My 82-year-old mom decided to sell her home after more than 45 years in the Shoreline area. Needless to say, my mom and family had a few worries and fears. Lella’s experience, knowledge, and support turned the fears into optimism and excitement. Lella was very responsive at every step of the process, making herself available when needed, even when she was out of town. Lella met multiple times with my mom and family prior to the listing to ensure any questions we had were answered. Lella sold my mom’s older home in 6 days and negotiated a price above what we had hoped for. Lella has gone out of her way since the sale to check on my mom just to see how things are going. Lella truly superseded expectations my family had in a real estate partner. She is simply an outstanding, remarkable agent, who clearly listens to her clients and will work far beyond one’s expectations to ensure needs and goals are met. You will not find anyone more talented than Lella Norberg.”
