"I asked Kathy if she would come over and give me some advice on what I needed to do to sell my house. To my surprise she came up with a very professional sales and marketing plan that I personally wouldn't have thought of. After a few weeks of completing miscellaneous repairs, we agreed on a price and on a date to list my home. Within in 1 day, I received numberous full price offers. Kathy worked with the purchaser's agent closely and continued to protect my best interests through the negotiation of the purchase and sale agreement. I am very pleased with the service I received, to say the least. Bruce"

Kathy Finney, ABR answered:
If you are referring to Windermere in Seattle, WA that would depend on the home you are looking at, what part of Windermere, does it have water access etc. This is considered the high rent district of Seattle. I suspect you already know this if you are asking questions about this area. - Mon Apr 28 2008, 19:27
