We were first-time homebuyers and knew very little about the process. Kim was everything we needed from a real estate agent and more! Not only was she extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market and the home-buying process, but also she was a savvy negotiator and an earnest advocate. We fully trusted Kim and had complete faith in her, which was really important to us. And, most of all, Kim was always there to listen to our concerns, drive us around to see every house that met our needs and was available pretty much around the clock. She did a great job of sharing her insights with us and helping guide the process, without us feeling that she was pushing us in any way. We always felt from Kim that she wanted us to find a house that made us happy and met our financial needs, instead of just focusing on her own profit margins. We highly recommend Kim to everyone we know who is buying a home, and there is no doubt we will work with her again in the future. We feel so lucky that we found her and the great people she works with. And we love our new home!

"As first-time home buyers, we weren't sure what to expect
from the whole real estate process. What's a pre-approval? How many
kinds of loans are there? How do we know the house we want to buy isn't
a lemon? Kim immediately made us feel at ease with her knowledge and
confidence. She walked us through the very confusing process and made
great suggestions all along the way, all the while letting us make
decisions that were best for us. We appreciated Kim's willingness to
listen to our needs and work with us - she actually wanted to hear all
of our likes and dislikes! The more information, the better. We know she listened to everything and used it to help us get the right house.

And when we found our house, Kim was there with us at each step,
making sure our inspection made sense to us, and negotiating
successfully on our behalf. We are so happy with our house, and are
thrilled with Kim as our agent!"

"If we're ever in need of selling or buying property, we'll definitely be calling on Kim Colaprete again. We each came into the house buying process with different levels of experiences and knowledge, yet Kim was able to make us both feel comfortable. She can answer intricate questions for the more experienced without talking down to a first time buyer.

When considering an agent, we really wanted to work with someone who could keep up the professionalism without losing his or her personable side during the process. We wanted someone who is on top of things, but down-to-earth at the same time. Kim's approach is straightforward and honest, yet she mixes in humor and genuine friendliness. She was a perfect advocate on our behalf.

Kim also has the ability to go with the flow and remain flexible with a smile on her face. Even though we were originally looking for a house near the future light rail, Kim didn't miss a beat when we decided to look at a cottage on Vashon Island instead. She simply made the arrangements and we were on our way to a dream come true.

When it came to selling our condo, Kim was just as effective as when we bought the house. She gave us excellent staging advice. She also brought in a great photographer to make the condo look its best. As well, she helped us price the condo right to generate a lot of interest. As a result, we sold the condo in six days with a full price offer and a full price back up offer. What more could we ask for? We are extremely grateful to Kim and her staff for all of their effort and hard work. The entire process, from buying to selling, was seamless.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for turning our dream into reality!

"Kim was a phenomenal broker for us. We felt immediately comfortable with her; she understood us and it was obvious that she cared about the concerns and questions we had as we undertook this new experience. While we looked at houses with Kim, we knew she was listening, watching us react to what we saw and truly making a personal commitment to find the home that was meant for us. She explained everything in words that we understood and never pushed or hurried us. She gave us the tools to make informed choices and let us choose.

We found our home very quickly and knew the minute we walked in that it was exactly what we were looking for. Kim sprung into action and at each step of the way, she made sure we were taken care of. We felt as though we were her only clients through the offer, inspection and signing. This is an amazing talent for an agent to have and Kim has it.

Should we need real estate services in the future, she will be the first one we call and we will recommend Kim to anyone who we know is in the market to buy or sell a house."
