    About Paul Klenk

    Sellers: No one should receive a "Canned Plan". I believe that each property & each motivation for selling requires & deserves an individual & personal marketing plan. My marketing of your property will include the following: placing your property in the MLS (Multiple Listing Service), taking digital photos, providing color flyers, properly putting your property on the market, holding Open Houses when appropriate, featuring your property in The Olympian and other marketing as necessary such as; personally contacting agents known to work with buyers of similar properties, certain specialized marketing, researching issues specific to your property and providing a virtual tour of your property. Buyers: This should be an exciting time - not confusing. Call me, let me simplify the process of buying. Ask me questions, challenge me! I will be with you through each step of the buying process. It is especially confusing when ther are so many foreclosures and short sales entering the market today. The transaction is made even more complex by the added 2-10 pages to a 15+ page Purchase Ageements used by agents and the banks selling these homes to reduce the risks to sellers and buyers in these specialized transactions. I have been selling foreclosures for over 10 years and have current experience helping buyers in short sale transactions.

    Nathanial was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable about resources in the area that would help me the best. He grew up in Olympia. He was so kind and generous. At one point I was injured and he mowed the lawn for me! He was honest and forthright with his opinions but never forced them on me. Above all he waskind and respectful to me and I feel I will forever be in his debt. He

    Nathaniel is very unprofessional and does not know how to communicate his sellers wishes. I would not recommend using Nathaniel as all he cares about is lining his little pockets

    I don't leave reviews as often as I should. In this instance I feel obligated to let readers know that my wife and I placed our complete trust in Mr. KimDugan's efforts in representing us in our first purchase of a single family home. Keith helped us in every step of this complicated journey. After living in the same CA condo for thirty-six years we were basically rookies in the home-buying arena. There were a few ruts in the road, but Keith helped us pass them and our moving truck will be on our neighborhood street tomorrow. We could not have gotten this far without Keith KimDugan. You won't go wrong allowing him to guide you to your end goal. Thank you, Keith!

    Altho Keith was relatively new to the real estate world, he was fully knowledgeable and engaged during our transaction. He researched and shared information, made strategic recommendations and followed thru on all aspects of the transaction. He was instructive on RE protocols and was always available for consultation. Along with that, he is personable and easy to work with, putting the client first. I'd recommend him on any real estate transaction.

    We could not have had a better experience and outcome. Keith was so helpful in every way in our home search and was able to find us a beautiful house for our first home. Interacting with him could not have been easier and he truly made sure that we were being taken care of around the clock. I would recommend Keith to any one looking to find or sell their home.
