Henry Shim Group

"There are good real estate agents, and then there’s Henry Shim. From start to finish, he went above and beyond in every possible way. He was attentive, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went smoothly for my wife and I—not just professionally, but personally. What truly sets Henry apart is his integrity and care. He advocates fiercely for his clients, communicates clearly, and brings a calm confidence to what can be a stressful process. We always felt supported, informed, and in the best hands. Henry is the expert in the Seattle real estate market. If you want an agent who treats your home journey like it truly matters, Henry is the one. Simply the best."

"I've worked with Henry on the purchase of two homes, and am in the process of selling one with him. I cannot speak highly enough of Henry - his depth of local market knowledge and the home buying process is unmatched. Henry worked literally all hours of the day for me, and was attentive to every detail! I'm so grateful to have found him as my agent, and will be using him for all my future home purchases and sales in the Puget Sound area. Thanks Henry and Henry Shim Group!"

"Henry is an amazing real estate agent to work with. He gave great advice, was patient, and explained all the details I didn’t understand being a first time home buyer. I highly recommend him!"

"After 2+ decades in the real estate space, working with countless well qualified and reputable professionals, I consider myself to be an exceptional judge of character, professional acumen, and market expertise. Now consider that for both of my home purchases in Seattle, I couldn't think of a more qualified, more trusted real estate professional for my representation than Henry. Henry and Akash of the Henry Shim Group not only are two of the most qualified, well respected professionals in the industry, they will put your interests and goals above all else when guiding you through one of the most important, and largest, decisions in your and your family's life. I don't often make these broad statements, but in this case I can confidently say you may look no further than Henry and Akash for all of your real estate needs. You won't be disappointed."

"Henry is the most professional and knowledgeable agent I’ve had the pleasure of working with. In the process of searching for a home, he was quick to identify options as well as potential within each of the properties we toured. His industry experience as well as character made it a joy to work together and allowed us to feel much more confident. I recommend Henry and his team to anyone who is shopping for a home in the Seattle area."

"As a first time buyer, Henry was patient and explained what to look for in a home. Every house we toured he would talk through his thought process in evaluating the pros and cons. He never pressured me to put an offer on a house and even dissuaded me from some homes that were less than ideal. Henry is well connected in the industry and shared lenders and contractor contacts that I’ve used with great success. 10 out of 10 would recommend."

"Henry and his team are real estate masterminds! Having done over 10 deals with Henry he continues to go above and beyond for each and every property. His creativity, patience and hustle cannot be beat and each sale surpasses what we had hoped for. Having Henry and his team by your side for buying and or selling gives you the confidence that you are getting the best outcome for any scenario. Henry is such an inspiration that we named our first son Henry as well! The Henry Shim Group is the best of the best!"

"I have family members who are real estate agents—and very good ones at that—but I still chose to work with Henry. It wasn’t an easy decision, but it was absolutely the right one. Henry is exceptional at what he does, and I’m genuinely glad we trusted him with both our sale and purchase. These days, it’s easy to wonder: Why do I need an agent when I have Redfin, Zillow, and open houses? I get it. A lot of the information is out there. But what truly sets an agent apart is the value they provide beyond what you can find on Google—and that’s exactly what Henry delivers. Henry offers insights you simply wouldn’t think to look for. He’d point out things like, “This house is 100 feet from a marsh—expect summer gnats,” or comment on layout and flow (even if I teased him about the feng shui). If we mentioned liking Korean food, he’d know exactly how many Korean restaurants were nearby—and which ones were actually worth trying. He’d notice when cabinet materials were low quality and advise us that spending a little more upfront could save us headaches later. Those details matter. They changed how we viewed homes and ultimately helped us avoid costly mistakes. Beyond his expertise, Henry is incredibly responsive. Not all agents communicate well, but he does. My wife and I aren’t the easiest clients—we ask a lot of questions and reach out often—but Henry always answered our calls and texts. Even if he said, “Let me drop my kid off at daycare and I’ll call you right back,” he always followed through. That level of reliability means a lot during such a stressful process. We sold our previous home and purchased our current one with Henry, and we wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again for any future sale or purchase. Thank you, Henry, for your guidance, honesty, and the insights we never would have known to ask for."

"Henry was great to work with throughout our home purchase. We closed in a very competitive Seattle market, and he helped make the process feel organized and manageable from start to finish. His knowledge of the Seattle market was clear, and he went the extra mile by connecting us with resources that helped us secure a strong financing rate. Henry was consistently responsive and supported us through the whole process."

"I have known Henry for over 10 years and utilized him as both a buying and selling agent. He’s honest, incredibly knowledgeable, and a tireless worker. Whether you’re looking to sell your property or trying to find your next home, I cannot recommend him and his team enough!"

"Akash at Henry Shim Group was absolutely incredible to work with, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in every step of the process. He made selling my home smooth and stress-free, always staying ahead of the curve and keeping me informed. His attention to detail, strategic guidance, and dedication truly set him and the entire Henry Shim Group apart. I couldn’t have asked for a better broker or team, highly recommended! Since writing this review, we worked with Akash again to sell our home in Tukwila. The experience was just as strong—strategic pricing, great communication, and a smooth closing. We continue to recommend Akash and the Henry Shim Group to anyone buying or selling in the Seattle area."

"Working with Henry and his team is always a fantastic experience. Henry is hyper-responsive, knowledgeable about the market, and strives to remove any stress from the process, often going well out of his way for his clients. There is not a time that I don’t feel they genuinely have my best interests in mind. Highly recommend!"

"Working with Akash Sandhu of the Henry Shim Group was a fantastic experience when purchasing our vacation home in the Seattle area. He set up home visits, answered all our questions, and provided outstanding support throughout the entire process. Akash pays close attention to detail—from paperwork to home inspections—to make sure everything meets your standards. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated Seattle real estate agent to help you buy or sell a home, I would highly recommend Akash and the Henry Shim Group!"

"Akash Sandhu at the Henry Shim Group was an amazing Seattle real estate agent to work with when we purchased our home! He consistently provided great property recommendations, was always willing to show homes, and guided us through every step of the buying process. If you're looking for a responsive, professional, and client-focused agent in the Seattle area, I would highly recommend Akash and the Henry Shim Group!"

"Henry helped us find our first home back in 2013. At the time, we were living in LA and planning a move to WA, which made it difficult to see listings in person, especially with the market heating up and homes selling quickly. He went above and beyond by visiting the homes we were interested in and sending us video tours so we could get a good first look before spending the money to travel up and see them ourselves. Thanks to his effort, we found the cutest house in Green Lake. As first-time homebuyers, the process could have been overwhelming, but Henry made it easy. We even got the house for less than the asking price!"

"Our agent, Henry Shim, was superior in his knowledge of the sales experience as we sold our home in a short time on the market. Especially helpful were Henry’s contacts and guidance on what to think about after the sale. Truly, a full-service broker."

"I could not recommend Henry more. He is fun, kind, and knows the local real estate market better than anyone. Most importantly, he is honest and has the utmost integrity. He is the opposite of pushy and made sure we ended up with the best home for us, no matter how long it took. 10/10, will never work with anyone else."

"Henry helped us get into our first home. As first-time homebuyers, the process and procedures are nerve-racking. Henry took the time to walk us through the details and was extremely patient as we determined what and where we wanted to be. He was always available, provided open and honest feedback on the homes we looked at, and ultimately helped us get into the best home! If you are looking for your first home or your tenth, I have faith in Henry and his approach."

"5 stars (would give 10 if I could) We’ve worked with Henry on 2.5 transactions now (buying and selling), and every experience has reinforced why we continue to partner with him. His depth of knowledge of the greater Seattle area real estate market — built over 20+ years — is immediately apparent. When touring homes, he wasn’t just opening doors; he was analyzing, advising, and proactively identifying considerations we wouldn’t have thought about on our own. His strategic perspective gave us confidence in every decision. What truly sets Henry apart is his integrity and client-first approach. There was never pressure to write an offer. In fact, on multiple occasions he advised us not to move forward because of concerns we hadn’t considered. That level of honesty is rare and invaluable. When it comes to closing, he’s exceptional. On purchases, he consistently negotiated meaningful advantages — whether seller-paid closing costs or price improvements. On the selling side, we achieved record-breaking results every time. Watching him structure and navigate negotiations while advocating fully for his client is truly a sight to see. If you have the opportunity to work with the Henry Shim Group on one of the most important financial decisions of your life, you’ll be in very capable hands and will not regret it."

"Henry and Akash are the best real estate duo for Seattle and the surrounding areas—both of them being Seattle natives, no one knows these neighborhoods the way they do. More than that though, they truly care about the buying and selling process for every single client, going above and beyond from beginning to end. Are you looking for an agent whose main goal is to trust the process and make sure you end up elated at the end of your real estate journey? They are the team you need!"

"We cannot say enough amazing things about Henry and his team. Henry helped us search for our home for over six months and never once made us feel rushed, pressured, or like we were asking too much. He consistently scheduled 2–3 house tours in a single day, often multiple times a week, all while juggling a busy business and his own family life. His flexibility, patience, and commitment were truly unmatched. We started our search primarily on the Eastside, but when we realized we weren’t finding exactly what we wanted, we expanded our search. Henry listened closely to what mattered most to us, adapted seamlessly, and guided us every step of the way until we found a home that checked all the boxes—even if it needed a little love. After closing, we took on renovations, and since our new house was far from where we were living at the time, Henry (along with Akash) went above and beyond by visiting the house and taking full video walkthroughs for us. Those videos were incredibly helpful in planning our renovations and gave us peace of mind throughout the process. Henry is not only an exceptional broker—knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested—but also a wonderful friend. We are beyond grateful for his dedication and could not imagine going through this journey with anyone else. We recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a broker who truly cares."

"Henry helped us to sell our condo in Edmonds. He did an absolutely fantastic job coordinating the preparation and staging of the condo to present it in the best light possible. Henry’s counsel on when to list the property in order to obtain the best price was spot on. Henry got us a cash offer for over the asking price within eight hours of listing the condo. We can absolutely recommend Henry Shim as an outstanding real estate agent."

"We used the Henry Shim Group to find and buy our home in 2016. The competition was extremely hard at the time, and Henry was committed to helping us find our potential forever home. I stopped counting at 100 house tours! Henry is kind, patient, attentive, and knowledgeable in every aspect of home buying. I would never recommend or use anyone else!"

"Working with the Henry Shim Group was such a blessing for our family. Henry sold our Renton home quickly and made sure we got the best possible deal on our next one. His knowledge, confidence, and attention to detail gave us so much peace throughout the entire process. We’re so grateful for his hard work and genuinely wouldn’t trust anyone else. Highly recommend Henry and his team!"

"Henry Shim was an incredible partner throughout my first home-buying experience. As a first-time buyer, I had a lot of questions and needed to see many properties before feeling confident in my decision. Henry was endlessly patient, responsive, and generous with his time. He never rushed me and made sure I understood every step of the process. What I appreciated most was his honesty. There was one condo I absolutely loved, and instead of simply supporting the sale, Henry walked me through why it was not the right investment. That level of integrity meant everything to me. He was thinking long-term on my behalf, not just about closing a deal. In the end, I found the right condo and felt completely confident in the purchase. I would recommend Henry without hesitation to anyone looking for a thoughtful, strategic, and trustworthy real estate agent."

"I had the pleasure of working with Henry Shim to purchase a townhouse in Lynnwood, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Henry is incredibly knowledgeable about the local real estate market and took a highly consultative approach to help me navigate the process. He is super friendly, extremely responsive to all my questions, and just overall great to work with. I highly recommend Henry to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate agent!"

"Henry is an outstanding agent who puts his clients' interests first. He helped us purchase a 4-unit investment in downtown Edmonds, as well as our home for the last 16 years, and in both transactions, he was expert, professional, responsive, and accurate. We also had a third transaction which fell through at the last minute due to red flags that came up during inspection, and Henry and Akash handled this disappointing outcome with aplomb, giving advice that benefited us, not their bottom line (which would have been a commission from the purchase). We have been thoroughly happy with Henry Shim's service, and plan to use him for future transactions in the greater Seattle area. Henry is amazing, and we would recommend him to anyone!"

"Exceptional Seattle listing agent — sold our home in one day for full price. Working with Akash and the Henry Shim Group was hands-down the best decision we made when selling our home in Seattle. Our sale was not a simple, straight path. We initially listed our home and faced several unexpected challenges, which meant taking the home off the market and regrouping. It was an emotional process with a lot of uncertainty, but Akash never wavered. His communication, honesty, and strategic approach made all the difference. When it was time to relist, Akash executed a completely refreshed marketing strategy. His knowledge of the Seattle real estate market, pricing strategy, professional presentation, and targeted exposure created immediate interest. Because of his expertise and preparation, our home sold in just one day with a full-price offer. What stood out most was Akash’s professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to navigate complex situations. He wasn’t just focused on selling quickly — he was focused on selling correctly and protecting our interests every step of the way. His negotiation skills, market knowledge, and attention to detail gave us complete confidence throughout the entire process. If you are looking for a Seattle listing agent who understands how to position your home, handle challenges, and deliver results, we cannot recommend Akash highly enough. He is knowledgeable, strategic, and truly cares about his clients. We would absolutely work with Akash and the Henry Shim Group again and recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home in Seattle."

"Henry and his team have been amazing to work with. They helped us find the home of our dreams, and we couldn’t be happier with the home and the experience we had working with them! They were easy and fun to be around. When touring homes, they had a no-pressure attitude, which was chill and made the experience relaxing. All the while, they had an excellent perspective and knowledge of the market, and they were ready to seize the moment when the right property became available. Thank you so much, Henry Shim Group!"

"Amazing, he knew exactly what our family was looking for and would give us his recommendations even when it didn’t favor him. He has helped out with family purchases of 3 homes, and will always use him in the future!"
