ZillowVERIFIED We have known Karena on a personal and professional level for over 20 years. She has helped us buy two homes in that time and her knowledge of the market, real estate ins and outs, and all of the pitfalls you can run into during the search, offering and closing process, has made her the BEST agent to work on your behalf. She is a professional, no-nonsense agent with a personal touch. The whole team at ReMax Yelm has made us feel like part of their family for years.

ZillowVERIFIED I would like to thank Cynthia and her team (Valeska, Trina and the other members behind the scenes) at RE/MAX Country. They did an outstanding job helping me sell my home. Even went so far as to help the buyer find a good lender to help him get approved.I would highly recommend them to sell your home.

ZillowVERIFIED As a real estate investor I've dealt with dozens of agencies both as a buyer and seller for 35 years. I thought I knew what excellence was until I listed my home with Cynthia and her staff at Remax Country. I was continually surprised, impressed, and pleased with the the knowledge, expertise, and professionalism of Cynthia and everyone at that office with whom I had contact. The honesty was refreshing and professional. Everyone was friendly and an expert in their position. Calls were returned promptly. No mistakes, nothing for me to worry about and I was always kept up to date from listing to closing. My home was sold quickly because they made sure everyone looking, found it. If yoi are buying or selling contact Remax Country in Yelm, WA. You will be delighted. GuaranteedCindy Meens

ZillowVERIFIED When I decided to retire from the military and move away from the area, I needed to sell my home. Cynthia and her team took a straight forward approach and gave me the advice I needed to ensure I was able sell the home quickly and at the right price. I took her advice and it paid off. I had an two offers that came in slightly above my asking price within a week of listing. They kept me informed through all of the necessary transactions. This made my transition from the military about as smooth and stress free as anyone could ask. Thank you.

ZillowVERIFIED I used Cynthia and her team when I needed to sell my house in Olympia. I needed to sell the house fast at a time when the values were down. Cynthia made a plan and skillfully helped me to sell a house that I desperately needed to sell at the time. I recommend her 100% and would not hesitate to use her again if I were looking to buy a house (or sell) in the area.

ZillowVERIFIED From start to finish Cynthia and her team did a fabulous job. She gave great pointers on what needed to be done to the house and property so it would attract buyers and sale faster. She hired a professional photographer (Barbra Kates) who took great pictures for the Internet and for The RE/MAX Collection magazine. Her entire team were always friendly and helpful. Cynthia's Closing Coordinators Cindra and Valeska always kept me up to date during the whole selling process and made the closing smooth. I would not hesitate to recommend Cynthia and her Team to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIED The Cynthia Schmier Team have done a outstanding job again, everything was very easy and they are very efficient. 10 years ago the Cynthia Schmier Remax team sold me a commercial building and also sold a piece of bare land of mine and all my experiences have been great. I would recommend them to anyone buying or selling.

ZillowVERIFIED Karena Peterson is an amazing realtor. She was very patient and a pleasure to work with. She was always responsive and genuinely helpful whenever we had questions or wanted to view another home. She helped us through the entire process and with the closing. After the sale RE/MAX Country loaned us their moving truck saving us around $200.00 or more in rental fees. I highly recommend Karena, RE/MAX Country and The Cynthia Schmier Team!

ZillowVERIFIED I worked with Karena Peterson (on Cynthia ' s team) and thought she was wonderful! Being a realtor in my previous years, and always moving due to military life, I was grateful to always have her contact us back whenever we had questions or anything for that matter. We even looked at the same home twice in one day among the others on our list. Will definitely use her again!

ZillowVERIFIED We highly recommend Cynthia and her team, especially Karena Peterson. Buying our home in 2010 was the culmination of much research and viewing many different homes for many months. If it wasn't for Karena and her experience, I don't think we would have found our little slice of heaven.

ZillowVERIFIED Cynthia and Adam Schmier helped my wife and I buy a commercial building in downtown Yelm. It was our first commercial transaction and we primarily worked with Adam. We couldn't be happier with the way he handled things. He walked us through the steps, made sure everything was taken care of and coordinated with the other professionals involved in the sale. I recommend them very highly and would happily do business with them again.

ZillowVERIFIED Her knowledge of the business and area are amazing. She manages a top notch team of employees. Remax country went above and beyond my expectation for buying home during and after the process. A year later the employees of this agency still have a great impact on my life. They are amazing.

ZillowVERIFIED Adam Schmier is one of the best realtors that me and my husband have had the pleasure of working with! We bought our second home with him and he was very thorough; which was excellent because we relocated from CO to WA. He really took his time to listened to what we wanted and found properties not only in our price range, but the look and feel we were after.He made us feel comfortable and confident in the property we bought, that we now call home! I do not think we would have had a better experience with any other realtor in WA! Adam is the realtor everyone needs to go with when buying a home!

ZillowVERIFIED Cynthia recently helped us sell our property - and the expertise and service provided by Cynthia and her team made all the difference in the world. I am based in a different country, so we really leaned on the knowledge and resourcefulness of Cynthia's team throughout the entire process. They really went above and beyond for us in helping us deal with what could have been a much more difficult situation. Cynthia and team are true professionals, and I highly recommend her.

ZillowVERIFIED Cynthia and her team helped me sell a close relative's home after the relative's death. This was a very difficult time and to compound that, I live across the country from Washington. Cynthia and team were extremely understanding and sympathetic and went out of their way to educate me on the options so that I could decide how to proceed. Being part of an estate, this was a long and drawn out process, but Cynthia and team kept in contact with me each step of the way and continued to give me encouragement that everything was on the right track, but just moving slowly (not at all due to Cynthia and team). I highly recommend her.

Cynthia listed my house on a Friday and we had a buyeron Monday and it closed without a single problem. I couldn't have asked for any better results..

ZillowVERIFIED Cynthia was very easy to work with. She is very knowledgeable about the area and the market. Also provided staging tips to improve the house and property appeal. She provided "spot on" advice for pricing my home and when to adjust price to attract more potential buyers. I would definitely work with her again.

ZillowVERIFIED Update in response to Cynthia's Comments:I am writing this update in response to Cynthias comments on my review. I feel that it is important to clarify a few key points. It is true that Cynthia brought in a second agent on our initial meeting to help determine the listing price. One of them told me to list my house for $37,000 LESS than what it sold for, and the other told me to list it for $43,000 LESS! It is in Cynthias best interest to convince a seller to list their home for as little as possible, as this will result in a quick sale, but this does not maximize the sellers profit, just Cynthias (its all about selling fast). The fact that I did not listen to Cynthia and her other agent regarding the listing price, and that my home sold for $37,000 (or $43,000) MORE than what they had told me I could get, should speak for itself. -----------------------------------------------------------------------Cynthia was the selling agent for my home in Yelm. I gave Cynthia two stars only because of her helpful staff, who were great to work with. Specifically, Valeska and Cindra were professional, friendly, knowledgeable and provided excellent service. Cynthia, on the other hand, while knowledgeable about the Yelm market, did not have my best interest at heart. She is rated as the top performer in Yelm for selling houses because that is all she cares about aEUR" selling houses. But she does this at the expense of maximizing value and proceeds for her clients. All she cares about is making the sale at any cost, and she accomplishes this by trying to convince you that your property is not worth as much as you think it is, pushing you to list your home at a below market price. Had I followed her pricing suggestions (which she says was based upon market analysis), I would have lost $37,000 from what my property sold for. Also, once an offer comes in, Cynthia strongly pushes you to accept the offer as is, rather than negotiate, even when she has knowledge that the buyers have fallen in love with your home and would most certainly negotiate. I lost approximately $8,000 by following her advice on this aspect of the transaction. It is important to note that what could have been $8,000 additional dollars in my pocket by negotiating the offer more aggressively would have only resulted in an addition $240 in commission for Cynthia, so she has very little financial incentive to negotiate once an offer comes in. It is in her best interest to close the deal, rather than to maximize your proceeds. In addition to not having your best interests at heart, Cynthia is also extremely condescending in all of her interactions, and is not someone that I would ever work with again. Save yourself a lot of money and use someone else who actually cares about your best interests.

ZillowVERIFIED Cynthia and her outstanding team provided us world class service in all aspects of our home sale. She explained the details on how to make the sale process work. And that it did. It was 5 days from when we staged our house for the photo shoot to the time we had a full price offer with no contingencies. Photos, flyers, and her team were simply fabulous!!! If you are selling a home the Cynthia Schmier Team will make it happen for you. These folks are real estate professionals that make the process comforting (and virtually stress free) in this volatile real estate market.

ZillowVERIFIED Cynthia and her team helped us sell our home this spring. My husband works overseas and I was living out of the area at the time and I really appreciated the communication and follow thru I received from Cynthia and her whole office. They understood my limitations for appointments and ensured that I was informed at all times but not badgered. Cynthia's marketing was spot on, and her advice about what we needed to do to prepare the house for showings. She recommended service providers that helped get the house ready for showing quickly, and for a reasonable price. Her flyers were awesome as well as the listing description and the photos. Selling in a rural area can be tricky but Cynthia got us a full price offer after only 3 showings! The closing process was seamless and I really appreciate how Cynthia's team worked hard to ensure we closed on time and without hick ups. I would definitely recommend Cynthia's team if you're planning to sell your home.

ZillowVERIFIED From walkthrough to price selection to sale, I can hardly imagine a smoother more flawless home sale process than what I experienced with Cynthia. Listing to closing took just over a month, and much of this is due to the professionalism, diligence, and expertise of Cynthia Schmier and her team at RE/MAX Country. I would highly recommend Cynthia to anyone in need of a top-notch real estate professional.

ZillowVERIFIED Cynthia was willing to take on a short-sale for my small home in a rural area of Thurston County when others were not. Her experience with the process and her very efficient team managed to find a buyer, negotiate with multiple banks, answer my questions regarding the title companies and timing issues. I really appreciated the steady updates, the speed with which her team worked. Cynthia was comforting during a very tough experience and I really value her kindness and steady determination to help me. Thank you very much for helping to change my life and turn what seemed like an impossible situation into a wave of positive change. If I choose to purchase a home in the future, I will assuredly be asking Cynthia to help me find it.
