High-end homes provide unique challenges in the real estate industry. Many Realtors^® lack the experience or the desire to deal with the various nuances and the additional expenses involved in selling or buying a luxury home. However, The Lester Group is positioned and equipped to handle the most rigorous and demanding circumstances that this level of home marketing imposes.

Kimberly Lester holds both the John L. Scott Quality Street designation and earned the Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist designation from the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing (ILHM) in 2004.  She has tremendous business acumen, the ability to price, stage and market high-end homes appropriately, and fortitude and insight to be able to effectively communicate with sellers, buyers and agents on both sides of this special market.

In 2003, Kimberly listed, marketed and sold a fabulous Mediterranean-style home that was part of the Seattle Street of Dreams in Issaquah. That home’s value was $1.5 million. She represented the same builder in the 2005 Seattle Street of Dreams in Woodinville showcasing a lodge-style home valued at $2.5 million. Her considerable experience in marketing and contract negotiation spans the range from under $1 million to nearly $3 million.

Kimberly has a detailed and personal knowledge of the market in the cities of Sammamish, Issaquah, Bellevue, Redmond, Carnation and Woodinville, and therefore specializes in marketing and selling luxury homes only in these areas. With the support of her team at The Lester Group, Kimberly will not only provide sellers and buyers of higher-echelon homes the kind of support and service they deserve, but also give them the assurance and peace of mind that their most valuable possession is in the hands of the most caring and competent professionals available.
