We have worked with Kristin over the past 3 years. Kristin has found reliable renters for 2 rental homes. Every time, she provides valuable feedback and information, and ensures that all contracts are thorough. We also purchased our new home with Kristin in April, 2015. The home was a short-sale, and Kristin worked on the negotiation for 6 months! In the end, we were able to close on the new home when we needed. Throughout the process, we were kept well-informed, but did not have to worry as we knew Kristin had our best interests in mind. While looking for houses, Kristin was professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. We valued her expertise and experience. Kristin is a real estate agent we can trust, and is one we will use in the future!

Kristin is a wonderful person and realtor. She has been working in this industry for 15 years, and the experience and expertise really shines through. The biggest reason that I recommend Kristin to anyone is that Kristin cares about her clients, and wants to help. There was never pressure to do something we weren’t comfortable with. Kristin simply provided information, and advised on what courses of action were available.
Kristin is great. Reach out to her and give her a chance, and I promise you will not be disappointed.

Kristin was an excellent resource to have. She walked us through the process of buying a home, and provided insights and other advice from her experience. We found it invaluable to have her provide a "first pass" objective look over the homes we toured, so that while we considered the more subjective feelings of a home, she was able to alert us to possible challenges and considerations. As we went through the process we developed a great rapport with her. She helped with the offer process and provided great advocacy that helped us get the home we really loved. We would not hesitate at all to recommend her to anyone.

I absolutely recommend Kristin. My husband and I sought her out to help us sell our home. We had a really short timeline to depart Washington. Kristin developed a plan and helped us stay on track from preparing the house for photos end of June to closing with asking price beginning of August. My advice for anyone hiring Kristin, do your part as the buyer or seller and let Kristin take care of the rest...she will guide you through the process with ease. She will give you all the information you need to make decisions as well as share her thoughts but she will not make decisions for you. Kristin went above and beyond to help us. I can't say enough good things about her, but I will say, if it was possible for her to help us purchase our next home...we would definitely seek her out again. Kristin possesses the attitude and demeanor of someone you want on your team...no matter what the mission is.

I cant speak highly enough of Kristin as our real estate agent. She went above and beyond listing our home. Selling a home can become a stressful situation and Kristin made the process seamless. She was very knowledgeable about the process and always responded to any of our questions. We would highly recommend Kristin and her team.

Kristin was an absolute dream, every step of the way, in what ended up being an 18-month process to get my home sold. From the start, she knew we would have an uphill battle, due to things that were beyond our control, and she was determined to get us across the finish line. I am now out of state in Texas, and Kristin stepped in whenever she was needed - from supervising painters and staging to keeping up with landscaping, and checking on why the water was randomly turned off at the property. Kristin is extremely familiar with the area, and the current market, and was confident when pricing my home. She has a great eye and made sure the home was in top condition for showing and photos. Her expertise is apparent, and she was able to walk me through every acronym, document, rule, law, etc. It all paid off - we had multiple offers to review right away, which led to the successful sale of my home, and a new start for me.
I cannot recommend Kristin ENOUGH! And am forever grateful for her partnership in this process.

Did you know that moths are not attracted to light they instead navigate by it. Moths use the light of the moon to help set the horizon during flight ensuring they know up from down and left from right. Unfortunately, all the ambient light in nature is often drowned out by the artificial light we use to illuminate our homes,businesses, places of recreation and worship. When I first started on a journey to find a new home for my growing family I felt like the poor moth. Easily distracted and pulled off course by all the “illumination” the real estate business and other realtors had to offer me. Then I met Kristin Schafer she literally helped me block out the “artificial ” light around me and helped me to focus on the ambient light that matched my families needs and circumstances all the while helping me keep sight of my goal and keeping the horizon in view throughout my flight path to owning our new home. Kristin went the extra mile and gave freely of her time to ensure that I understood the process before me and encouraged me through the bumps along the way. She cares about those she serves and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else but Kristin to help navigate you towards home ownership.
I am forever grateful for her hard work and dedication to me and my family throughout this process.

We had a great time looking for a house with Kristin Schafer! She simply helped make buying a house a great experience with no issues at all. We highly recommend Kristin as a real estate agent.

Kristin has been assisting our family for over 12 years now. She went above and beyond to find us a great home and made recommendations on our purchase in 2010. Since then, because of her knowledge base, we are now able to sell our home for a significant profit. She also facilitated a seamless selling of our home as we move on to a new chapter in life.
If you want to ensure you get a good home, at a good price, and without any confusion, then you want Kristen. She will be honest and make recommendations that are in your best interest, not hers. Her selfless service is a testament to her hard work and education as well as the company she works for. I wouldn’t have chosen any other agent and blessed we chosenKristen from the beginning. Seriously, you don’t want anyone else. You wanna make money/profit? Choose Kristen. You wanna get a good deal and a beautiful home to fit your family? Choose Kristen. I can’t imagine where we would be without her.

As a military family, we tend to move every 3 years. We have worked with 5+ property managers/realtors, and Kristin has been a dream! From a renter's point of view, she took care of any/all questions/services we needed help with in no time!
She is extremely knowledgeable and willing to help you find adequate service for a reasonable price. For instance, we had to replace a window and I had no idea where to start! She provided us with a list of 3 trustworthy contacts, which saved me many hours of research time.
If Kristin is managing your rental, you can rest assured that she is taking care of your home, ensuring it is getting all the necessary service needed in order to last for years! She very closely manages any service needed in the home, without becoming overbearing to the renter. I wholeheartedly recommend Kristin to anyone looking into a) buying a home b) selling a home or c) renting a home.
To my fellow military families, she is the real deal

We entered a tough market searching for our family's first home. Upon a friend's recommendation, we contacted Kristen while searching for a realtor and I can not express how happy I am that we did. Kristen was so helpful and patient as we looked at different homes and she listened to what was important to each of us. While our likes and dislikes fluctuated as we learned what we wanted, she was supportive and understanding the whole time. She was very available for viewings and talking through paperwork and communicative if there were any scheduling conflicts. She was very easy to talk to and just an all around joy to work with. While the home buying process was quite the adventure, it was made so much more pleasant having a realtor like Kristen on our team! We can not express enough how thankful we are that we had the opportunity to work with her!

Kristin was awesome! Not only did she help us buy our first home, but also sell it a few years later. We had to go back to her to sell because buying with her was such a great, professional experience. Kristin explains every step of the buying/selling process which made it easy for my wife and I since we were first time buyers (and sellers). She also kept us informed every step of the way and ultimately helped us get everything we wanted out of buying and selling. We will definitely be return customers!

Kristin Shafer is who you want on your team! She was exceptionally helpful, patient and very communicative throughout the entire selling process. She goes above and beyond for her clients, and I cannot thank her enough.

Kristin went above and beyond for our military family. She was knowledgable all along the way and helped us to find the perfect house from across the country. She wanted to get to know our family and our needs in depth and fought for our best interest. I can't say enough good things about her professionalism, and knowledge. I will not be surprised to see her face on any top sales magazine because she has to be the best agent we have ever had. To preface this we move every three years so we have worked with a few.

We've worked with Kristin for over 3 years. First as a property manager then as our listing agent. She has been nothing but awesome! She was in constant contact and communication even while she was our rental property manager. As our listing agent her advice was always sound and she got us exactly what we wanted and more. We will miss working with her. We highly recommend her, you will not go wrong working with Kristin.

Kristin was great to work with. She really understood what we were looking for. It was obvious that she was more concerned about finding the perfect home for us than making a quick sale. She answered questions and was very honest about the properties we looked at. You can't go wrong if you chose Kristin as your realtor!

I have rented, purchased, and sold several homes over the years. I wish I had the opportunity to work with Kristin and the Sue Larson team for all of them. Everything was completed timely, efficiently, and with care. This has been the one real estate agency I have worked with over the years that I truly felt had my family and my best interest in mind and I could have complete confidence in. I strongly recommend!

My wife and I were PCSing from Tucson Arizona to the SEATAC Area, and we knew no one in the area. Luckily my wife received a recommendation from a friend of hers about Kristin, and it really was a great recommendation! We had zero problems. Kristin is friendly, responsive, did not pressure us, gave great advice and found us exactly what we were looking for. She is great and we look forward to working with her again!

We highly recommend Kristin for all your real estate needs. She makes the entire process seamless from start to finish. She also knows quality photos sell your home and the value of capturing your buyer in a single click. The majority of buyers see and fall in love with their future home online, through photos and video before stepping foot inside.
Kristin is always punctual at returning phone calls and will go to bat for you when selling or buying your home. Most importantly, she’ll get the best value for you. Call Kristin today, you’ll be happy you did.

Kristin Schafer was a wonderful real estate agent for us from the point we began house hunting to the day we rented out our old place. We began looking for a new place at the beginning of the summer. She was patient with us and we never felt like we needed to “hurry up” or “settle” for something that wasn’t perfect for us. She was just a text away anytime we wanted to view a home and was ready at a moments notice. Once we found a place we loved she took us through the entire process. After the house closed she advised us on how to prepare our old house for rental. She advertised it for us and secured a renter for it under a month. I can’t say enough about how nice she made a difficult process. Thank you!

If we could give 10 stars we would. Kristin did an amazing job. She truly went the extra mile while representing our family and our families needs. No task seemed to great, whether it be researching county records or hunting down contractors to ensure closing punch lists were completed. She was always available to answer questions and even helped us resolve an issue after we closed on our home. She is conscientious and has an incredible work ethic. My wife and I highly recommend Kristin for your real estate needs!

Kristin went above and beyond to keep us up to date on the sale of our house, despite the fact that we were 3000 miles away. She met ALL our needs and sold our house in record time. If you have the chance to have her sell or buy your next home, we highly recommend her.
Thank you Kristin and have a Great 2022 sesaon

Kristin was absolutely amazing. There's no doubt she got us the best possible deal our on our house. She went above and beyond with staging and also helped us find a great handyman to do some minor repairs. She gladly went out of her way to help us take care of the house after we left the state too. Just an all-around great experience with Kristin.

We could not have asked for anything more in a realtor! Kristin was so knowledgeable and helpful in every way possible. As first time home buyers, the process of purchasing a home can seem a bit overwhelming, but Kristin was there every step of the way and made the process extremely smooth. She is patient, personable, and takes all of your needs into consideration.

Kristin assisted my wife and I in moving from Colorado to Lacey. She did an excellent job of narrowing down optional homes. We decided on the first one offering what she said was the fair market price. The owner demanded more, and we followed Kristin's recommendation to withdraw--the home eventually sold for the price Kristin had recommended about 6-7 months later.

Kristin is a phenomenal real estate professional whom I highly recommend. We recently renovated and rented a property -- a task she oversaw -- and without her help, we could not have done the job. We live overseas, so to coordinate such a undertaking in the States would have been next to impossible. Kristin had helped us in the past with finding tenants, and we knew her to be reliable, responsive, and trustworthy. As such, we entrusted Kristin with not only coordinating with the outgoing tenant and finding a new tenant, but we also asked her to do many tasks that went above and beyond the normal scope of agent duties. Among other tasks, she coordinated for repairs, carpet replacement and appliance installation. Through it all, Kristin was always responsive to our inquiries and requests. Additionally, she provided sound advice, from what price to rent our property, to what color of paint should be used in the living room. My wife and I cannot recommend Kristin highly enough. She is a tremendous agent whom we will use in the future

Kristin has been exceptional, she helped us in the rental we are in now along with finding our new home. I cannot express how excellent she have been throughout the entire process. Start to finish she was there for all our questions and concerns no matter how big or small.

Was amazing to work with, she helped us purchase our home in 2019 and then was there to help us sell it this year. The house was staged so well I had to talk myself out of buying it ourselves. She provided great communication throughout the whole process and was very easy to work with. Would absolutely recommend selling or purchasing your home through Kristin.

Kristin Schafer is an amazing realtor. She not only guided us through our whole house sale but also made recommendations while the sale was pending. She was chosen from three different realtors and does not disappoint. If we buy another house in the area She will be my go to and should be everyone else's also.

Kristin was very professional, knowledgeable, and prompt. She always got back to me within hours and despite her busy schedule and was able to take us on showings on short notice. It was our first time buying a home, and she helped us feel comfortable each step of the way. Kristin had worked with my mortgage lender in the past, so whenever paperwork was needed, there was an open line of communication between all of us. She never pressured us into a home, instead played devil's advocate to make sure we'd find the perfect fit. I've heard nightmare stories from friends about buying their first home, but we had the smoothest experience with Kristin so I cannot relate! Highly recommended.

The experience we had working with Kristin was nothing short of astonishing. Being well versed in her field, Kristin poseses a wealth of knowledge that she readily shares to assist her clients during the house hunting process. I believe this derives from her relentless search of information on topics big or small. If Kristin didn't have the answer or insight to answer the complexities at hand, she went above and beyond to find it in a timely manner. During the long process we went through to find our house, we always felt Kristin had our absolute best interests at heart. The care and kindness she showed our family was unsurpassed. The resources and colleagues Kristin referred us to excelled on every level within and beyond thier fields. I couldn't imagine a better house buying process. We are incredibly thankful to have met and worked with Kristin. She is a key asset in her profession and a pillar of society.

About Kristin Schafer
I moved to Washington State in 2007, when my husband got stationed at JBLM. I started my real estate career in 2009 and I knew Washington would be my family’s forever home in 2011. As a REALTOR®, property manager, investment property owner, home owner, military spouse and mother of two, I have the unique ability to help my clients evaluate homes that may be their forever home, or may be a stepping stone to their next adventure and an investment for their future. I am not going to just open doors and sell you a house. I am going to educate you on the home buying or selling process and show you your options so you can make the best decision for you and your family. I am very familiar with the process for relocation clients, the dynamics of the VA loan, and the pros and cons for both short term and long term home ownership. In addition to sales, I also specialize in Property Management, and can use this expertise to help clients think about future investments during the buying process. My favorite part of real estate is the clients I am privileged to get to know. I love the process of helping people figure out what their home ownership goals are and then watching them reach those goals. Let me help you reach your goals and find your next home.I’m privileged to call the Pacific Northwest home, though I’ll always be a Colorado girl at heart. When I’m not working or driving kids to and from school and activities, I enjoy wine tasting at local wineries, walking my two very large dogs, watching the Seahawks or hitting the golf course with my husband. The PNW has so much to offer, and I’m glad to share my experiences in work and in life to help clients make the best decisions for themselves and their families.
