Recent Testimonials:

Working with Kris Murphy and Elaine Shankland of Keller Williams Greater Seattle to ready, list, and sell my house was a dream. They outlined the steps and sequence necessary for getting the house ready for market in a clear manner and with doable milestones, including a pre-inspection and the necessary actions needed to remedy any short comings. They used a series of tradespersons they had used before who did fantastic work on schedule and at reasonable rates. They arranged for the final steps of cleaning, window washing, staging, and garden cleanup. The house was sold very quickly and above asking price; I attribute this to Kris and Elaine’s market knowledge, attention to detail, relaxed but focused style, and excellent client communications. I began my cross-country trip to my new home two days before the house was listed confident that all was in good hands (and it was). I highly recommend Kris and Elaine for all your house selling and buying needs. I could not have asked for better partners.

Kris and Elaine sold our house for a whopping 35 percent above what was already a market-appropriate asking price.

They told us the type of people who would be the most interested in buying a home like ours, they detailed the improvements we should make to appeal to those buyers, and they coordinated the contractors who carried out those plans.

The service they provided was comprehensive, and the advice they offered turned out to be spot-on.

We chose them because they seemed the most knowledgeable and trustworthy of all the real estate agents we interviewed. And the results they delivered exceeded all of our expectations.

We highly recommend their data-driven, customer-focused, team-based approach.

- Shannon & Peter

We have used Kris for two prior home sales and two purchases. All have gone exceedingly smoothly, with no glitches or surprises. She provided timely and accurate advice. The team with whom she works, painters, handy men and women, and stagers have been professional and prompt. She worked with Elaine on our most recent sale, who was also highly professional and available. In addition, she and Elaine were pleasant and personable.

- Grace & Charles

Kris helped us sell and buy a new home flawlessly. She accurately had her finger on the pulse of the market. She knows how to quickly close a deal when you find the right home and got our old house on the market with speed. The selling price of our old house far exceeded our expectations and it was largely due to the hard and knowledgeable work of Kris. Highly recommend.
