We were so fortunate to have Kris Johnston and Rodney Smeester as our agents. We owned a home on leased land and were involved in a three-way negotiation. Everything had to coordinate for simultaneous closings. It was no easy task. Kris and Rodney helped us through the process with our constant requests for updates and worries and the “deal would fall through”. Well, it didn’t. We are very appreciative of Kris and Rodney’s 24-hour assistance and assurances that the “home of our dreams” would be ours. They explained everything in terms we understood and gave us ample time to prepare for showings. We could not be happier with their efforts and we highly recommend them to anyone selling and/or buying a home.

Kris did a great job helping us sell our property in Ballard. She handled the marketing aspects especially well with great looking pictures for the listing and brochures as well as interfacing with other realtors in the area. Very knowledgeable, professional, and well-connected! All documents were handled efficiently with many of them processed electronically since we live in Northern California. Kris's communication via phone and email kept us informed in a timely manner throughout the process. Setting the right list price was critical to our success in selling our property within a couple weeks of listing it! Kris did a great job with the negotiations. She helped us to price our unique property above comparable past sales in the area but still within reason and gave us good advice upon receipt of offers. Overall, we appreciated her diligence, honesty and attention to details. We would use Kris again in a heartbeat!
