Seattle, Real Estate, Kim Colaprete, Coldwell Banker Bain, Agent, South Seattle, qualified

I'll admit it. I am one of the many east coast transplants living in the Pacific Northwest. I moved to Spokane, and eventually Seattle, in 1988 after graduating from Rutgers University. Although they say, "You can take the girl out of New Jersey, but you can't take the Jersey out of the girl" (and that is definitely true!), I consider myself a Seattle Girl now! I have been here for 17 years, living everywhere from Greenlake to Capitol Hill to Rainier Beach. My partner of seven years, Chavi Hohm, and I currently live in Seward Park in a swank 1960s modern home.

I started my career fundraising door-to-door for a consumer advocacy group, never realizing how knocking on every door, in every neighborhood in King County might prepare me for my future career as an agent. I moved from that to working on initiative and political campaigns for a few years before landing at Northwest AIDS Foundation (now Lifelong AIDS Alliance). There I spent six years traveling all over the state to places like Wenatchee, Walla Walla, Spokane and Tacoma teaching folks how to lobby and be active within their communities on HIV/AIDS issues.

I had never before thought about becoming a realtor but when I made the decision to leave the Foundation, it was the first thing that came to mind. I was excited to try something totally different than working in the non-profit arena but where I could still use my great lobbying, organizing and people skills. Then I thought, "What better place to put those skills to work than real estate." I left the Foundation in 1999, started my new career as Seattle's Real Estate Diva and never looked back. I am proud to be able to say that I've had a great career thus far, am in the top of tier of my profession and am having the time of my life!

Now that you have met me I would love to meet you! Just go to the seller or buyer services section of my site and we can get started on finding you that new home or listing your current home today!
