Hood Canal Buyer then Roosevelt Buyer then Roosevelt/U-district Seller says: " Mimi has a nice style as a Real Estate Broker, aggressive with marketing, but not pushy and we appreciated that." West Seattle Seller and Buyer says: "The best thing about Mimi is her honesty. She does her best to monitor what is going on the market and use that information to benefit her clients. No more worries about whether your agent is trying to feather their nest rather that yours." Ravenna Buyer then Seller says: "When I was searching for my first home I found Mimi to be very supportive and knowledgeable. Mimi kept working diligently to find exactly what I was looking for without making me feel rushed or pressured. Mimi was able to negotiate an excellent price on the home that I finally purchased. When it came time to sell my home, I asked Mimi to help me again, and she really did a great job of marketing the home for me. Even when the market was slowing down, Mimi was able to find a buyer who was happy to pay my asking price for the home, and it turned out to be a great investment. Thanks again Mimi. Bainbridge Island Condo Buyer says: "I would highly recommend Mimi Stewart as your real estate agent. When I was buying my condo recently and closing the sale became complicated, Mimi was right there like a friend to help shepherd me through the process to closing" Bainbridge Island Seller says: "Mimi is a gem! She listed our house and worked tirelessly for us: Stagin, marketing, virtually weekly open houses and great communication with us on both leads and the local market. All that and a bright, sunny disposition. What more could you ask for ?! Wedgewood Seller says: Mimi worked with me to sell my Wedgwood home. I was nervous because I had been out of the market for 27 years. Although I was in a desirable location, the house needed a lot of work and the market was flooded with foreclosures. She did not try to sugar coat the situation - she told me honestly what I would need to do to compete in this market. She helped me prioritize what repairs/upgrades to make, and to understand the current market. She created an effective marketing plan based on the home's strengths. Then the work began. I didn't know there was a Real Estate Broker that worked that hard! She worked tirelessly with me on getting the house ready. Through her contacts she found good workmen for electrical, carpentry, and other work. She continually tuned her marketing plan, held lots of open houses, and kept me updated. I got what I consider a good price for the house, and it is now occupied by a family that loves it. The great things about working with Mimi: She worked hard to educate me about selling and the market so I felt comfortable with my asking price. She did not pressure me to make decisions or lower the price - she advised and let me make the decisions. An extremely hard worker - both in the preparation and the selling phase. She kept her eye on the changing market and advised on pricing. Her friendly, low-key manner kept buyers relaxed and interested. She closely advised me during negotiations with buyers -the most nerve wracking part for me! Madison Valley Buyer says: "Mimi helped me find my house years ago and and I would never work with anyone else. I liked that she was competent, but not pushy! She also worked harder than I ever imagined she would and did so many extra things!" Phinney Ridge Buyer says: "Mimi takes the time and extra effort to understand a family's needs, be it for office space, children's space, on-site rental space or other aspects of a house that need careful thought. Once she understood what we needed (often better than we did!), she kept an eye out for properties that would be a good fit. She never pushed towards a sale, and showed her integrity by helping us identify the positives and the challenges behind buying a new home. We always feel that she has our best interests at heart and wants us to buy a house that will truly be a home." Greenwood Buyer says: "Mimi helped us purchase a Seattle townhouse in the spring of 2008. We were acquainted with her through a social circle, so decided to engage her services after "firing" the pushy agent we were working with before. This was an excellent choice! She helped us through the various stages of the process (looking at properties, making an offer/counteroffer on a property we liked, securing financing, closing the deal) with respect for our need to maintain a comfortable, thoughtful pace; while still mindful of the fact that in real estate transactions, time is of the essence. She made sure that concerns we had were communicated to the seller's agent, and that we had sufficient time for conducting our due diligence. Like many people who bought during or immediately after the bubble, our house is now depressingly under water, so we don't foresee being in the real estate market again anytime soon. However, should things change, we will engage Mimi's services again without hesitation, as she has proven to be an experienced professional with integrity and dedication to client satisfaction." Ballard Lessor says: Until we arranged to have Mimi represent us in the leasing of our home, the decision to rent our house while we went on sabbatical was difficult. We were worried about preserving the condition of our home and we wanted to be sure it would be well taken care of while we were away. Having Mimi as our agent immediately put all of our concerns to rest. From our first meeting with her we were confident she would devote herself to finding the right match of tenants for our home - and she did. We knew we could rely on her to be our advocate. We trust her integrity and honesty one hundred percent. She kept us updated and informed throughout the process of screening possible tenants and she was amazingly prompt in her responses to our questions. She was consistently warm, cheerful, calm and personable. Mimi has a tremendous talent for marketing, and we were impressed by how she staged our house for publicity photos. Using only our existing furnishings, she made the house look absolutely stunning. She was exceptionally gifted in her assessment and description of the property, and she crafted the perfect language to promote all the assets that we ourselves had overlooked. She was diligent about placing and updating advertisements, and was remarkably accommodating to the many variables in our planning. We are so grateful to have had her dedicated, professional help!
