TESTIMONIALS

  • "We contacted Kimberly last winter to help us search for a new home in Sammamish.  We told her the size of house and yard that we wanted along with other aspects that were most important to us.  She was very focused with her search and we only saw those houses within 'our' parameters.  There was no time wasted driving around to houses that didn’t work for our family.  She called us one night in April and said 'Your new house is going on the market tomorrow morning and we need to be there early tomorrow.'  We trusted her, and she was exactly right – we loved it, it was just what we wanted and we made an offer right away.  We had some difficulties with the Listing Agent, but Kimberly worked through the problems.  She thought outside the box and handled the negotiations just right!

    "Within days of making the offer on the new house we were ready to list our current house.  Kimberly's team was out there right away and she did a fantastic job marketing our house. We were very pleased.

    "Kimberly was very easy to talk to, open and friendly. She was extremely accessible and if she couldn't be reached immediately someone else on her team was there to help.  We highly recommend Kimberly and the entire team at The Lester Group and if we ever move again…Kimberly will be the one we will turn to."

  • "In March of 2004 my cousin had to be placed in an assisted living residence due to her health.  This meant that she had to sell her home.  We were referred to Cory Brewer, a John L. Scott agent.  He did an excellent job in the handling of all the details and answering all our questions.  He was pleasant to work with and expeditious.  Everything went very smooth and we would recommend him to anyone."

  • "Kimberly;  My wife and I can’t thank you enough for the outstanding work you did during the sale of our house and the purchase of our new home in Sammamish.  Your guidance throughout the listing process was flawless.  The market analysis, pricing recommendation, staging suggestions and marketing plan resulted in phenomenal traffic, significant buyer interest and a full price offer in less than a week.  

    "During the selling process you and your team kept us posted on every detail of the sale and tracked every key date.  Perhaps one of your greatest attributes was your responsiveness.  When we had questions, you were easy to reach and if we had to leave a message – we knew we could expect a call back in a reasonable time.    

    "Once our house was sold, we began looking for a new place to call home.  You listened carefully to our requirements like: size, style, a desirable floor plan, kid-friendly cul-de-sac and a location not too far from Microsoft.  We found it on Valentine’s Day up on the Sammamish Plateau and knew it was right from the moment we pulled up to it.  Your advice and guidance helped craft an excellent offer and your personal presentation to the selling agent helped close the deal.    

    "With any home sale or purchase there are always mountains of paperwork, escrow documents, inspection requests, etc. to keep track of.  This is where your experience really shines as you made it easy to track the process and understand the various forms and terminology.  Your strong relationship with the Escrow officers and lenders made buying a house painless.  Your network of trusted contacts was an unexpected benefit that is hard to put a price on since we knew they were all pre-screened, time-tested and high quality – and best of all, we didn’t need to spend time finding them on our own.  

    "We would be happy to be a reference for anyone interested in your services.  Feel free to pass this letter on to anyone looking for a dedicated, professional realtor with an unsurpassed knowledge of the industry who can gracefully handle the purchase or sale process.  You have our strongest support and unequivocal recommendation!"

  • "Dear Cory; A word of thanks for the manner in which you handled the sale of our home in Bellevue .  The entire transaction went very smoothly from the listing of the home through the closing of the sale - with very little disruption to our normal living in the home.  Pre-qualification of prospective buyers and proper scheduling for home viewing made everything move smoothly.  I will certainly recommend you to my friends.  Keep up the good work."

  • "Kimberly helped me purchase my first home and handled the process beautifully from start to finish. Without hesitation I contacted Kimberly to manage the sale and the purchase of a new property. Again I had the same exceptional experience."
     
    - Mr. Freeman

 

  • "Cory is knowledgeable about this market and it shows. In a market where bidding wars are the norm, Cory directed us to houses that he believed would end up in our budget—this included some that he thought were over priced and would come down as well as houses that he knew were under priced and would come up. We ended up with the house we wanted to buy, in the time period we wanted to buy it and within the price range that we had budgeted to spend."

  • "Kimberly - For the second time in three years, we would like to thank you for the outstanding service in the sale of our house and the purchase of our beautiful new home.

    "With so many nuances in real estate, we are simply amazed at your impeccable attention to detail every step of the way. Your knowledge of the Eastside is superb, your advice sound, your predictions extremely accurate, and your communication with us dependable & smooth, as you always kept us in the loop.

    "First, you sold our house in 15 days. This is especially impressive because in our Snoqualmie Ridge neighborhood, there are many homes for sale, both re-sale homes and new construction, so the inventory of "for sale" homes is extremely high. Plus, we got within 2% of our asking price on the first offer!

    "For our new home, we were looking for something very unique to accommodate our needs--as we both run our business from home, come and go often, and need separate offices without taking up bedroom space--plus have a one-year-old son to raise under the same roof.

    "You wasted no time showing us homes that weren't a good fit or out of our budget. In fact, we¹re still impressed at how you anticipated our needs and found homes that had the special features we desired--things didn't show up on the listing. We truly were able to choose from the 'cream of the crop' and there is no question we got the best home available.

    "When it came to the negotiations--we are sure glad you were on OUR side. Great job!"
     
    - Mr. & Mrs. Riggs

     

  • "Dear Cory - We really appreciate all the time and effort you put into helping us find a home - even with such time constraints on our part.  You were just great in your perseverance and made sure our requirements for a house were met.  We wish you all the best in the future."
     
    - Mr. & Mrs. McLeod

 

  • "Mr. Brewer did a fantastic job and was a pleasure to work with.  I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home."
