After relocating to Seattle for work, and with neither my wife nor I having any family in Seattle, we were clueless as to where we should live. Fortunately, we referred to Kelly by a family friend...and we couldn't be any happier. Kelly is energetic, knowledgeable, PATIENT, willing to go that extra   mile...and did I mention patient??? Because she is. That was one of the main reasons I was interested in working with her - previous clients boasted online about her saint-like patience, and I couldn't agree more. Kelly showed us dozens of homes over a several month period in and around Seattle. Each time greeting us with a smile, background on the home and the area, and a positive outlook that this 'could be the one' - all while keeping things honest and realistic in terms of our budget, the quality of the home, and our competitiveness as opposed to other buyers, etc.,
 Kelly knew about trendy neighborhoods, where to focus and more importantly, where to avoid. She also knew what areas the new light rails are going and how this could affect commuting, property values, accessibility, etc., The woman knows her business!
 My wife and I were able to find a beautiful home in the area we wanted (West Seattle), in the price range we wanted, with the specifications/amenities we desired. Was it easy...NOT AT ALL! But Kelly's perseverance allowed us to stay the course and find the right home. She was really cool about giving us our space when we grew tired (and aggravated) with the search, and gently (but properly) pushing us when the right opportunities came along.
I interviewed numerous agents - some of whom were twice Kelly's age but had half of her knowledge, charisma and skills --- you do the math, folks, that's a winning combination by any measure in any business. And with real estate in Seattle being as crazy as it is, and only getting crazier, you need to make sure you choose the right agent. And Kelly is that person.
