Kathleen Turmala

I have used Kathleen as my real estate agent multiple times, and she has been wonderful to work with. I've been very impressed with Kathleen's approach, as she was more concerned about helping me find the right house than just making a sale. Kathleen has also been very helpful, not only taking the time to explain the processes of buying and selling a house, but she's helped my wife and I find the right inspectors, stagers, and other required service providers. I highly recommend Kathleen.

In particular, we feel strongly that one of the best experiences of working with you was your ability to listen and internalize our wants and preferences (instead of trying to impose your own personal preferences on us) and your willingness to dissuade us from pursuing (very expensive) properties that didn’t satisfy those requirements and where it was clear to you we were settling when we didn't need to.

You really made us feel like you understood us and were on our side and we are grateful for that.”

Your marketing strategy worked when pricing our home for sale, as it did exactly what you had anticipated by appealing to two price groups, it generated multiple offers and sold above asking price. You represented us beautifully when buying our home, and dealing with the tough negotiations between the sellers and us as buyers.”

Daria and Russ Jow

Overall, our experience with Kathleen went so well the first time we bought a house (winter 2003) that we went with Kathleen for the second purchase (winter 2010) as well! (Not saying that the process isn't stressful but working with Kathleen made things go well in the end).

These items would be the highlights:

-Kathleen was very friendly and eager to help explain all the little details that ended up making the home buying process easier to deal with.
-The closing process for went smoothly (with the major stress dealing with the bank)
-Kathleen has a calm personality that is rather comforting during the negotiating process.
-She is very knowledgeable about the whole home buying process and tries hard to make sure you get all the information you need to feel confident about your investment.
-She is always an email away and has provided guidance to us as we conducted improvements/repairs along the way.

I have bought and sold 4 homes over the years. My wife and I both agree that working with Kathleen Turmala was our best experience ever with a Realtor. Kathleen's demeanor was calm and not pushy. She made us feel at ease with a relaxed style and her experience. Her style was complimented by a real strong commitment to keeping things on track. Often Kathleen did things on our behalf and helped move things along without excessive involvement and touch points with us. Overall our experience was made less stressful than with past realtors. I can absolutely recommend that you hire Kathleen if you need a realtor.

The advantage of working with Kathleen is that she is an architect. Her knowledge of architecture allows her to see items typically missed by real estate agents. It’s like getting design advice wrapped into brokerage services!

Kathleen knows her stuff and managed the whole bidding process and escrow expertly. We appreciated her guidance and advice.

I met Kathleen during an open house when we were looking to purchase our first home and immediately knew that she was going to be our realtor. We found her to be kind, professional and genuinely interested in helping us find our new home. She's extremely knowledgeable and her background in architecture goes a long way when evaluating houses. She has a strong work ethic, unparalleled professionalism and a great sense of humor. To this day, seven years later, Kathleen occasionally calls just to say hello and see how our family is doing. After our first home buying experience with Kathleen, we not only consider her our realtor but also a friend. If you're looking for a realtor, you don't need to look any further.

Kathleen did a great job at understanding our needs and showing us homes she knew we would consider - she eliminated a lot of the running around that comes with home buying - she was very personable, followed through, and identified with our style. Kathleen has been our agent on the sell and purchase end and have recommended her to friends.

Kathleen is a great communicator and researcher. In addition to being a realtor, her past profession is as an architect, which was really helpful for us not only from a design sense, but also for understanding / learning how houses go together. She tours homes regularly, pre-reviews issues and was able to pre-select homes for us to see based on their quality, our discussed criteria, our price range, and our areas of interest. This was a real time saver, with a little one we don't have a lot of spare time! We looked at several homes with her and she pointed out not only the positives, but also potential issues that could crop up. We never felt like we were being "Sold ". She was very patient and followed through with us, our lender, and the listing agent during every step of the process right on through closing and - beyond. Afterward, she gave us some great recommendations for service people. She builds lasting relationships' with her clients, has a strong referral and repeat customer business, and we know why!

You have such a great personality for your line of work. You did such a wonderful job for us we truly appreciate it!

Her training as an architect equips her with the capability to evaluate properties in a way that many of her peers cannot match.
