Janie and Forey are a dynamic duo. Their attention to detail, communication, marketing, market awareness and dedication to our family was exceptional. They went above and beyond to communicate with our other agent in another state to ensure an amazing experience. Thank you both, I can’t recommend you enough. If you listen to their advice, they won’t steer you wrong and the painting and staging was excellent.

Forey & Janie helped change my life. I never thought I’d be a homeowner. They made the process extremely smooth and gave me advice along the way. That advice aided me and making the right decision and I’ve bought more property through them since. I’ve also referred them to several friends who’ve bought through them as well. I highly suggest you work with Forey & Janie.

We have had the pleasure of both buying and selling homes with the Ducketts.
When buying a home they made the process go smoothly and without stress. They ensured we were advocated for and that our lending process went through without a hitch. They helped us get the space we wanted for the budget we had.
On the selling side they helped us find all the right vendors to stage our home, do touch. up, and spruce up the landscaping. They also helped us get the most for our homes.
They are incredibly responsive and caring. We highly recommend them. You won’t regret it!

Janie was a wonderful agent for us first-time homebuyers. She was incredibly responsive, helpful, on the ball, detail-oriented, and friendly and fun to spend time with. Even in an ultra-competitive market where we had to tour dozens of homes, she spent hours with us going over inspections and assessing different options. She helped us winnow our preferences, target realistic homes, and make competitive bids. It’s not an easy process, but we were thankful to have Janie on our side – it made all the difference in winning a bid.

Janie and Forey are amazing realtors. They are honest, straight forward, and on top of it. I feel so confident in them, I wouldn’t think of using another realtor, and I recommend them every chance I get!
Terry Wilkinson
Janie and Forey Duckett were fabulous agents to have through the process of selling our house and purchasing a new one. They informed us through each step, put us at ease to ask any questions and explained the process in terms we could understand. Their communication with and for us was exemplary. A huge factor for me in dealing with sales people is trust. I trust both Janie and Forey without question. That they were doing their best to serve our benefit was apparent from start to finish. They are both personable and professional.
Janie kept us informed of the strategy and results throughout the sale and sought our input at each stage. She went out of her way to research some items for us and made sure we understood our choices.
I would have no problem or hesitation to recommend Janie to anyone who is buying or selling a home.

We’re very grateful to Forey and Janie for helping us navigate through this crazy hot market. We were able to buy a single family home only after two offers. Forey understood our needs and style. He represented us well. We were able to snatch up a property before it went back on the market due to Forey’s vigilance. He helped make our bids more competitive but did not pressure us into making offers that were outside of our comfort level. He knows the market well and is familiar with many lenders and their processes. We chose a discount lender for lower rates over a concierge broker and Forey was able to work with them to close escrow after 3 weeks. This was our second real estate purchase through Forey and Janie, and both transactions went smoothly and without stress. Thanks for mowing our lawn, Forey!
Marilyn Wilkinson
Janie and Forey did a wonderful job of selling our home, so when a dear friend needed help to sell her home we suggested she contact them. Her husband had recently passed and she had to sell her home as quickly as possible to deal with unexpected debts. Not only did they manage to sell the home quickly and maximize her profits, but they went to great lengths along the way to help her deal with obstacles in the way of the sale . This, once again, demonstrated to us and to our friend that they are excellent professionals and that they care about the people they serve.
Lindsey Mears
Highly recommend Janie and Forey! My husband and I were so intimated by the home-buying process (especially during COVID since everything just seems to be harder), but Janie and Forey really put us at ease. They took the time to explain everything to us, were so responsive (even during weekends and after hours), and really genuinely cared about making sure our experience was good and getting us into the home of our dreams. Even though we were worried we’d have to be searching for months, I’m proud to say that we were able to get a beautiful house within a couple of weeks of starting our search – thanks to these two! And even better than that, they were smart and creative about how to structure our offer to get us the best possible deal. Even though the ground shifted under our feet a couple times during the process, Janie and Forey stayed completely steady and kept us sane. You need these two in your corner!
Adam Sharp
Forey and Janie have helped us on several transactions, condo purchase in 2015, home purchase in 2019, and then the sale of that same home in 2022. They provided excellent guidance to us as new home buyers and had great recommendations on how to maximize the sales price of our home which sold for $50k over asking. They are truly amazing people and a great team who takes the time to educate you on the complexities of getting these deals done. I cannot recommend them more highly and if we hadn’t moved to Chicago, would do a lot more deals with them!

Working with Forey and Janie was such a pleasure. They worked extremely quickly and efficiently to help my partner and I buy our dream home. Forey is knowledgeable and experienced, and was able to advise us on many aspects of our first home purchase.

Janie and Forey not only helped me lock in my dream home, but gave me the confidence to go through with the purchase and helped me tremendously as I navigated the process for the first time. Their savvy made a huge difference in how it played out. Moreover, they’re just truly great people—kind and patient and fun to be around. So, in terms of both experience and outcome, I couldn’t be happier. 🙂 I would absolutely recommend working with them, and will be recommending them to friends!

We really enjoyed working with Forey to buy our first home! He was knowledgeable about the Seattle market and the pros/cons of each home we saw; he was patient with us and happy to show multiple options to best fit our needs; he had great negotiation skills and helped us draft competitive offers to out bid others for our home. Forey treated us like family and we are so thankful to have worked with him! The biggest bonus was how responsive he was in our communication and his bias for action when touring homes, making offers, and moving through the close process. His diligence and speed allowed us to act quickly, respond to the current demands of the fast paced market, and get our dream home!

Forey and Janie helped my wife and I purchase our first home and we could not be more grateful for everything they did for us! We were completely blind on how the process worked and they were the perfect partners in making sure that we were never lost or confused throughout the entire thing. Both Forey and Janie were incredibly attentive, responsive and friendly from start to finish and we can not imagine working with anybody else in the future. Would rate 10/5 stars!

Forey was recommended to us and did not disappoint. His deep knowledge of the area was important to us coming from California. He was reliable and always early for showings. He made suggestions of places to visit that may not have made our list which were important factors in helping us learn the area and what was really important to us. He was so helpful visiting houses with as he was able to point out details that we didn’t notice due to his experience renovating houses. Would highly recommend Forey!

Bought a Single Family home in 2012 in Shoreline, WA.
Forey helped me purchase my first home. I was very much unaware of all that is involved in buying a house and Forey made it all seem easy. I ended up getting a home that was a short sale that I likely would have avoided if I relied on my own searches. I felt completely comfortable at every step and thrilled with finding this home. I certainly recommend Forey & Janie Duckett to everyone. Not only are they great at what they do, they are genuinely nice people.

I have worked with Team Duckett on 7 property deals since 2012, which could by itself stand as an expression of my satisfaction. Janie and Forey have always been great partners with valuable and insightful advice, fast execution and great coordination. Looking forward to partner up again on the next property deal.

We were new to Seattle when we started looking for a house to purchase. Didn’t really know the neighborhoods. Forey found us options within our price range and in various neighborhoods so we could get a feel for where we may want to settle down. All in all just a great experience with someone who knows the market and how to get his customers what they want.

We talked to several Agents and found a real superstar in Janie and Forie Duckett. Bottom line they helped us sell our home quickly and worked harder than any agent we have ever worked with before. They did an incredible job of communicating throughout the selling process and connecting us to local painters, gardeners and stagers to help us highlight our home. We would highly recommend!!

What a wonderful experience we had with Forey & Janie Duckett! From the very beginning of the process, Forey was attentive to our needs and so on top of sending us weekly emails on listings of houses in the areas that we were looking at. We were impressed with his ability to show up to show us houses at the last minute sometimes. We were also very impressed with his knowledge and as first time home buyers this was a gift! When we finally found our dream home, there were four other offers on the table. Forey and Janie navigated this daunting task with the skill and professionalism of seasoned realtors and were able to help us draft an offer that ended up being picked. We are eternally grateful for meeting them and highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Janie was really helpful throughout the process of buying my first home. She would frequently send me listings that I was interested in and it was easy to schedule times to view houses. She was really flexible and patient with me (as I toured many homes, sometimes kind of last minute). Throughout the process she was highly responsive via text, phone calls, and emails. I trusted her throughout the process and in the end found a wonderful home!

I highly recommend working with Janie for anything and everything Seattle real estate related. I was so lucky to get referred to Janie by a close friend, and had the best experience working with her (and her husband, Forey). They worked closely with us to help us navigate this tricky buyer’s market, and put forward a competitive offer for the house that we wanted, and the offer was accepted! Janie was always available to answer questions (on weekends, late at night, early mornings) via email, text, and phone. They knew the right questions to ask because they have a combined 14 years of experience in this market, and helped up get a sewer capacity charge covered during closing. We could not have asked for a better team to represent us! Highly recommended for all your Seattle real estate needs.

If you are looking for a knowledgeable, upbeat and experienced realtor, look no further than Forey and Janie Duckett. As a team, they brought a wonderful dynamic to a first time experience for my wife and I: selling our first rental property. They were responsive and incredible resourceful, which made the whole process very smooth for us while mitigating any anxieties we were feeling. We were elated with the results of the sale and can’t recommend them highly enough!

Sold a home in 2018 in Wedgewood, Seattle, WA.
Janie and Forey were quite simply the best real estate professionals we’ve worked with. They handled getting our home ready for sale, on-market, and closed with amazing grace and confidence. At every turn they met – beat – their estimates and made a complicated process easy and fun. The details: we were moving out of state and needed to sell our house quickly and for a lot of money. Janie and Forey helped us identify quick improvements to increase value, executed that vision, and then marketed and sold our house for well above even our optimistic estimates. Through the entire process they were prepared, confident, and on-target. We’ll use them again if/when we return to the are!

Bought a home in 2016 in Seattle, WA.
We worked with Janie and her husband Forey to find a home near the downtown Seattle area. We were moving to Seattle from SF and not as familiar with the area. Janie was great about accommodating our scattered hours to show us a homes/condos and so patient in our search. The Seattle market is quite competitive and she was a great guide in what to expect to offer on a home vs. what it was listed for. Looking forward to buying our next home from them!

Forey is personable, knowledgeable and was attentive to all our concerns and needs. He helped us find an ideal condo for our daughter while she attended law school, directed a minor remodel for us while we resided out of state and then sold it for us for a tidy profit after she graduated. He and his wife Janie personally staged it for us to avoid a delay, and moved our furniture out for us when we could not be in Seattle. He earns his commission and is a delight to work with. My wife and I highly recommend him!
