7801 Green Lake Dr N,
Kristen is a fabulous agent and I have recommended her to three of my friends who also have had great experiences using her. In 2001 she helped us buy our first house, and in 2009, in a very tough market helped us successfully place a contingent offer on our new home and sell our first home. She is responsive, professional, and fun to work with! We will use her again, but hopefully not for a long time si...
— Buyer | Seller
Our experience with Kristen over the last two years demonstrated her professional skills as well as her ability to adapt to all of the idiosyncrasies of a couple who had not purchased or sold a home in a very long time. Kristen was excellent at dealing with our issues as they were raised, but more importantly, was able to educate us on the current market and all of the changes that have occurred over the...
— Ken & Peggy W.
Kristen helped our family buy at least two homes. She is the best! I highly recommend her. If you want a crackerjack real estate agent who will work hard, she's the one for you!
— Nina
Kristen was instrumental in helping us understand our needs and then buy our current home. She continues to be a very important reference for general real estate questions, not to mention her recommended contractor directory which we receive regularly and to which we often refer.
— Sir B.
Kristen Cramer is a true professional. I have hired her on more than one occasion and I am always impressed with her ability to provide a service above and beyond her peers. I recommend her without hesitation.
— Aaron
We are writing to give our highest recommendation for Kristen Cramer. We have worked with Kristen since 2005 and have been extremely impressed with her market knowledge, customer service, and responsiveness. Kristen helped us through three house transactions: the sale of two homes and the purchase of one. On the sale of our Ballard home, Kristen was very thorough in her market analysis. She advised us on...
— Anne K. & Daniel E.
I would highly recommend Kristen. She represented us in selling a home in the Wedgwood neighborhood and we found her to be knowledgeable, professional, kind, and a great negotiator. She has expertise in marketing properties on different platforms and understanding the regional housing market. She uses e-sign for document handling, which makes it so much easier to process all the forms needed. She guided ...
— Ann L.
We had a great experience when we bought a house with Kristen in 1999 and she worked hard when we sold our house in early 2004, especially as we only had a two-month window to sell before heading out of Seattle on an extended trip. When the time came to buy again in Seattle, we did not hesitate to return to Kristen for our real estate needs. Kristen worked hard to find a house that was handicapped access...
— Gordon & Kristen S.
Kristen is the most pleasant, competent, professional, honest, and determined person I've had the pleasure of doing business with. When I purchased my home, I was single with a 7-year-old. No one in my entire family had ever owned a home before. I needed to navigate all of the nuances of purchasing a home for the first time with Kristen as my only source of support. She was amazingly patient with me. Pri...
— Tracy T.
Kristen has helped me both buy and sell more than one house. She has great knowledge of the real estate market and is wonderful to work with. Highly professional in all of her dealings. I plan to work with her again in the future.
— Autumn S.
Kristen continues to be an amazing resource, thank you so much for helping with this transaction including a few non-traditional steps due to the circumstances. You rock!
— Seller
Kristen helped us find a home in Kirkland when we moved from Atlanta. As a family who has moved many times, we have a real appreciation for knowledgable, honest and detail oriented realtors. Kristen is one of the best I've ever come across!
— Buyer
Kristen has helped us buy and sell a number of homes in the Seattle area. We recently purchased a fixer after reviewing hundreds of potential properties. She is an extremely professional, knowledgeable, and thorough agent. We were especially grateful this time for her assertive, yet sensitive and thoughtful negotiations that left both parties feeling good about the transaction. She's one of the best, a g...
— Buyer
Kristen helped my buy a home in 1988. I rate her highly even though our business relationship was over 20 years ago.
— Buyer
As a real estate professional who has been in business for over 20 years, Kristen Cramer brings a wealth of experience to home buying or selling. When I purchased my home, she met with me beforehand to assess what particulars I was looking for, and then we toured houses that met my criteria. This was so helpful and time-efficient for me. I also recommended Kristen to neighbors who were selling their home...
— Seattle W.
As a first-time home buyer, our experience was a lasting one! We are excited about the house and it seems like it keeps getting better! We greatly appreciated the combination of professionalism with a friendly, almost family-like communication experience. I've already referred you to two other people interested in buying a new property. Hopefully (for their sake) you will hear from them soon. We couldn't...
— Aura & Dave
I have referred Kristen to friends and relatives and they have all had the same wonderful experience I had. She makes being a home a comfortable and enjoyable process from start to finish. When I sell my home she will be the person I call.
— Buyer
Overall, Kristen is amazing! She's extremely knowledgeable, professional, well-connected, ethical, responsive, and she's funny! What more could you want? Kristen first helped us sell our house in Seattle. We had lived in the house for 17 years, and Kristen was knowledgeable about what things we should "fix" to get the best price. She also had referrals for people who could do the work. This was during a ...
— Buyer | Seller
Kristen did an incredible job of partnering with us in the process of selling our home. From the initial assessment to the final negotiations, she was there every step of the way. She really listened to us, understood our needs, and always made us feel like we were a high priority. Kristen has a deep knowledge of the area market, and expertly guided us through what can be a stressful experience by provid...
— Seller
We found Kristen to help us purchase our first home. After our first day of seeing several houses, Kristen picked up on what we liked and didn't like and began emailing us new houses as they came on the market. We put offers on 5 houses within 6 months, including bank-owned, short sales, and typical straightforward sales, many of which were multiple offer situations. Kristen was always willing to find ti...
— Rachel M.
Kristen was amazing! She responded immediately to our questions big and small, and was extremely helpful on anything that needed to be done - from letting repairmen into our house to finding the right repairman. Also, Kristen has an amazing Directory of people who get things done at reasonable prices. Kristen knew the answers to things I would never dream of coming up in the selling of the home. I suspec...
— Jill B.
Kristen obviously recognizes a central axiom of good customer service: if you focus on providing great service, the rest (i.e. the commission) will take care of itself. She was approachable, knowledgeable (especially about the area, which wasn't on her home turf, demonstrating to me her overall familiarity with the Seattle-Tacoma real estate market in general, and the area where we were searching in part...
— Buyer
Kristen has a detailed knowledge of neighborhoods and things to look for when buying or selling a home. She worked tirelessly to meet our demanding needs and was a huge asset as we negotiated complicated real estate processes. We've worked with her three times and recommended her to others.
— Tobias L.
Buying a home is exciting, but it can be stressful as well. Buying one 3,000 miles from where you live has the potential to be 3,000 times as stressful. Fortunately, working with Kristen was fully exciting and not at all stressful. We were buying a condo as a second home near our daughter and her family, and so we started with Kristen's request for our priorities. We made two trips to Seattle. On our fir...
— Virginia G.
After an extensive search for a realtor to list and sell my Seattle home, I selected Kristen Cramer from Lake & Company. This turned out to be a wonderful decision. I cannot praise enough her hard work and commitment to help me sell my home. Pricing your home for sale is a critical step and Kristen did market research that far exceeded what I received from Windermere and Remax, the other 2 agencies I was...
— Christine R.
We are first time home buyers and really leaned on Kristen to educate us about the process. She was very good at pointing out things to look at in different houses and explaining the pros and cons of different types of windows, pipes, etc. We ended up making an offer on a house where there were a total of 7 bids. She helped us through the pre-inspection process and we consulted her when deciding on our o...
— Buyer
Kristen helped us find a rental property. She patiently showed us everything available on the market as we narrowed down our search to specific areas and types of properties. Her knowledge of Seattle is impressive! The hot Seattle market requires speed and knowledge. Kristen acted quickly and efficiently as soon as something appeared that we might be interested in. Kristen's wealth of experience came thr...
— Heidi S.
Kristen is an active listener. She not only took note of our initial "shopping list" as we described what we were looking for in a home, but she continued to listen to our comments to refine our choices. She made the homebuying experience delightful and low-stress. As we drove to the house that we later purchased, she told us it was the house for us and she was right.
— Lynn W.
Kristen did an excellent job of listening to our needs and working within our budget, needs, and wants requirements. She was very professional and easy to get along with and was willing to work with our schedule to show us a good amount of options each week as things became available.
— Buyer
Kristen did such an incredible job helping us find our home. As first-time home buyers, Seattle's crazy market was intimidating and overwhelming. Kristen made it easy to understand the home buying process as well as being there for us every step of the way. She went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met, as well has being flexible when our schedules got crazy. I recommend her to everyone I kno...
— Buyer
Kristen is by far the best agent that I've ever worked with. She is knowledgeable, efficient, and thorough, and most of all, I really appreciate her high integrity and honesty as well as her great sense of humor! She has the unique ability to build relationships that feel like true partnerships. I recommend her highly!
— Rob T.
Kristen is an expert real estate professional and her experience shows. She knows the Seattle market and was so patient with us as we explored what we wanted in a house and learned about different neighborhoods. She is level-headed and gave us so much guidance, both factual and emotional. We plan to use Kristen again for any our of real estate needs!
— Leslie R.
Kristen was fantastic to work with. She was honest and respectful and clearly knew her job. She did exactly what she said she was going to do and she did it well. She answered phone calls and emails promptly. Our house sold quickly and without and problems. I would highly recommend her for your next real estate transaction. Thank you, Kristen!
— Seller
Kristen helped us sell our home and was also the purchasing agent for our condo. She was awesome, and we would heartily recommend her. She got far over our asking price (before the market was crazy like it is now) and negotiated a great price for our purchase. Not only that, but she is fun to work with, personable, kind, honest, and always professional.
— Jan B.
Several years ago, I listed my home with Kristen and found her to be all of the above. While circumstances require that I take my house off the market, I will certainly retain her again when it is time for me to sell. I am very confident she will do her best to market it aggressively and advise me on what needs to be done to make it as inviting as possible.
— Seller
Kristen was always candid and helped us to see why a particular house may not suit us, which was invaluable. She understood the different eras of houses and quickly spotted things we needed to be aware of. Her knowledge of remodeling projects and things to look for in house conditions was also really helpful. Despite our long search, Kristen never lost patience or hope - even if we did!
— Buyer
Kristen was quick to respond when we needed appraisals after separating. She is very knowledgable and an excellent communicator, Quick and concise, you get the information without extra sales tactics. Very pro! I will definitely use her for the sale of my home.
— Buyer | Seller
Kristen gave us wonderful input to get the house ready to sell and get top dollar! Ranging from what to fix to choices of stagers. I highly recommend her!
— Sheila L.
Kristen is very knowledgeable and will try to help you in any way she can. She helped me find a home and went to many places even though I knew very little about home buying. She was able to answer all of my questions and make sure that I felt comfortable buying the home I had. She even helped me save a few thousand dollars by helping me write better offer letters.
— Bleaton G.
We hired Kristen to help us purchase a home. I found her to be a very warm person who really values her clients. I felt she went the extra mile to always be responsive whenever we had questions, and did a great job accommodating our schedules and requests. She had a good knowledge of the neighborhoods in Seattle and the characteristics and caveats for them. I would highly recommend Kristen for her servic...
— Buyer
Kristen is the best! I honestly think we would not have got the house we wanted if she had not been involved in the process. In such a competitive market you need to have the best professionals on your side or you will be lost.
— Buyer
Working with Kristen to sell our home in Seattle was a great experience. Not only is she knowledgeable about the market, but she took the time to explain to us the ins and outs of this monumental project since we were first-time home sellers. Once we cleared the place out, she took charge of getting it ready for the market where it sold in less than two weeks! We highly recommend Kristen for her energy, ...
— Rodela C.
Kristen is a true professional, detail-oriented, and focused on a great client experience! She stayed in contact with me for the entire 14 years since helping me buy my home and did a great job helping me sell it.
— Seller
Kristen has a wealth of knowledge from many years of experience and knows the local Seattle residential real estate market well. My wife and I were first-time homeowners and relatively new to Seattle. Kristen patiently worked with us and helped us eventually find and buy our dream house. She's open, honest, and often gives valuable insights when viewing houses. Overall, she was a pleasure to work with an...
— Scott B.
Can't say enough good things about Kristen! She was exceptionally patient with us as first-time buyers in a very competitive market. It took us over 9 months to find our home and she never ceased to be optimistic and determined. When we finally found the right property, she helped us get an incredible deal. She is knowledgeable and frank in her assessments, and provides the highest quality customer servi...
— Marina
I'm a first-time home buyer and didn't know much about the process that goes into buying a home. Kristen made sure I was well-informed the entire time, walking me through all the steps. She made sure I knew what my options were and how to best handle the seller's market that we are currently living in, here in Seattle. Kristen was avidly watching out for listings and was able to get us to see houses befo...
— Buyer
As a first-time buyer, I was pretty wary of real estate agents trying to take advantage of my inexperience, but Kristen never ever made me feel like I was being pressured into buying a place that I didn't feel was 100% right! In many cases, Kristen was actually the one to point out potential faults with apartments that I had either missed or not taken into consideration. I definitely didn't expect that f...
— Buyer
Kristen has bought and sold a home for us. Her complete knowledge of the real estate industry and the lovely person she is makes her invaluable. She makes buying and selling a home easy. She is up-to-date and educated. We had so many questions and concerns - as buyers or sellers do! - and she has calm, cool, and smart advice for it all. Kristen just sold our home on the Eastside; we had multiple offers o...
— Buyer | Seller
Kristen was fantastic and truly went above and beyond to help me and my husband find our first home. From our first face-to-face interaction with her, we knew she was a keeper. We flew into Seattle (and it was only our second time in the city, but we knew we would be moving here several months later), and Kristen cleared her entire Saturday to take us house-hunting for the whole day. Nine months and coun...
— Anna V.
Kristen Cramer is the epitome of a Woman of Rectitude! I would highly recommend her in any situation. You can trust her integrity, knowledge, and honesty. Plus she has a whimsical sense of humor. She recently handled the sale of my house. It was an unbelievably smooth experience. Thanks to Kristen. And to be quite honest with you. It was not the money generated by the sale. It was my real estate experien...
— Seller
Kristen is a brilliant agent! We highly recommend her. She handled the sale of our condo this summer, 2013. It was a very, very difficult sale due to a complicated situation within the building that was only revealed after we went to market. It took all of us completely by surprise, causing what should have been a quick, easy sale in a hot market to take an agonizing 90 days. The deal almost collapsed se...
— Seller
Kristen deftly handled a thorny issue with buyer #1, who backed out of our deal, and successfully closed a deal with buyer #2 in short order. She always kept us well-informed and did a great job helping us prepare the property for sale since we no longer live in the area.
— Seller
Kristen is the most reliable and professional realtor I've ever worked with, out of 12 house sales in my life. She recommended a very unique pricing and marketing strategy which turned out to be perfect for the season (March) and our neighborhood (Maple Leaf) and which ended up with us getting a dozen great bids and 15% over our asking price. Kristen was always available for staging advice and a huge res...
— Seller
We were searching for a Realtor to sell our townhouse in the Seattle market and read the reviews for Kristen Cramer. The reviews could not be more accurate, she is the consummate professional, knows the market and kept us informed all the way through the process. Kristen returned phone calls and e-mails promptly, evenings or weekends, it didn't matter! She brought us up to speed on the markets, trends an...
— Seller
We chose Kristen to sell our townhouse after an earlier unsuccessful attempt. She promptly explained the area and the market and noted things that would make a difference to our sale. She had good connections and was an excellent photographer. It was an intense experience for us but everything went through without a hitch. We were concerned not only about selling the property but about doing it well. I t...
— Peri L.
Kristen was amazing throughout the entire process of buying our house. I really felt like she had our best interest in mind and never let us settle for anything less than what we deserved. She knew the area very well and was very responsive in communication. In the end, she felt like a true friend. We will definitely be working with Kristen in the future and would recommend her to anyone.
— Buyer
Working with Kristen was a wonderful experience. As first-time sellers, we were completely in the dark about the process and didn't know what to expect. But Kristen put us at ease from the start, coming prepared with answers to questions we didn't even know to ask. She was exceptionally responsive, understanding, and accommodating, and made the process easy and virtually worry-free for us. I would recomm...
— Seller
My partner and I spent the first half of the year in the amiable company of Kristen Cramer. Almost every free moment through winter and spring was spent in communication with Kristen, whether the three of us were running across town in Kristen's hybrid to look at homes or sending and responding to a flurry of late-night emails. Every step of the way Kristen was patient, informative, and incredibly kind. ...
— Buyer
We know a number of real estate agents, and having bought and sold several homes in our lifetime, we have more than a little experience with them. Never have we known one as professional and excellent in every way as Kristen has been. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have met her! We have been so impressed and helped throughout the process of selling our home and buying another, by her knowledge, ...
— Tom J.
I can not say enough good things about Kristen! As a first-time home buyer, I was in way over my head. Kristen took the time to explain to me the nature of the market, what to expect, and how everything worked. She never pressured me and was always there when I had a question. She spent the time to learn what I liked. Then she set me up with emails of homes that met my personal criteria. She showed me ma...
— Buyer
Kristen is an absolutely outstanding real estate professional. She has an incredible amount of local knowledge, patience with clients, and a balanced perspective. We found her to be refreshingly honest and proactive in pointing out both the pros and cons of properties and neighborhoods that a client may overlook. It was clear that she had our long-term interests in mind. And all this with a wonderfully p...
— Buyer
Kristen Cramer took on a challenging sale especially as I live overseas. She ensured that there was routine communication with me and handled the transaction which went very smoothly in a professional and efficient manner. I would recommend Kristen to anyone who wants their townhouse sold fast and hassle-free.
— Seller
Kristen Cramer helped me purchase my duplex back in 1995 as my buyer's broker. Fifteen years later she listed and sold my duplex as the seller's broker. In 1995 she demonstrated her excellent skills in negotiating the price, work orders as a result of the structural inspection, closing and occupancy dates, and more. In March of 2011, she listed my duplex and with a keen understanding of the local market ...
— Dru D.
I can unreservedly recommend Kristen to anyone in the markets I have been in. And I have no reason to believe she is no less capable in any other greater Seattle market. She helped me sell and buy two pairs of homes. For the first sale and purchase, she came on recommendation from friends. The second time I did a careful vetting of three agents or agencies. All properties were essentially in NW Seattle. ...
— Buyer & Seller
Kristen is very good at what she does. She goes that extra mile for the client. We live in Longview, WA and she helped us buy property in Seattle, WA. where she is from. It went very smoothly using the Internet, e-mail, and phone.
— Gary H.
Kristen was our agent when we bought our first house in 1999. She was also our agent when we sold that house and bought our current house. Kristen provided us with valuable knowledge that met the current real estate market conditions. Kristen is always very professional and was always there when we needed to ask questions. If you are buying or selling a home, Kristen IS the one! Thanks Kristen, Justin an...
— Justin C.
Kristen listened to our goals and preferences. She used her knowledge of the area to get past our own faulty assumptions (such as 'all of Bellevue is too rich for us.') Then she guided us through the process without pressuring us to make the decisions she might have preferred.
— Buyer & Seller
Kristen was excellent at showing me homes that met my criteria, financially and otherwise. She had a great way of gently reminding me of my own priorities! Because my price range was so low, we didn't find anything in the Seattle area (north or south). When we started looking on the east side, she was hesitant because Kristen knew I loved the city. Living in suburban Bellevue might not cut it. However, w...
— Buyer
Kristen was an absolute pleasure to work with. She took the time to learn what we really wanted in a home and then found us the perfect match. Throughout the entire process, she was always straightforward and honest, and it was clear she had our best interests in mind. She came highly recommended by several colleagues, and we now recommend her to anyone who is looking for an agent. We will definitely tur...
— Buyer
Kristen Cramer was my Realtor during the sale of my old home and the purchase of my new home. This was my first experience conducting a concurrent buy or sell and I needed a lot of coaching along the way. She was the consummate professional, providing expert guidance at every turn, making the experience much smoother than I could have ever anticipated. When I first met Kristen, she came to my house prepa...
— Tanya T.
Kristen helped us find our home over a six-month period in which we looked at over 200 potential homes - literally. She has the patience of a saint and knows her way around Seattle extremely well. It may not have taken so long if we had actually paid attention to her suggestions on how to bid. Eventually, we learned that she does know everything! She found us the perfect home, and we (finally) put togeth...
— Buyer
As someone who has had the pleasure of working with Kristen Cramer as both a buyer and a seller, I would like to take this opportunity to assure you that you are in good hands. She handled everything efficiently and professionally, which was a great relief since I was a first-time buyer on a tight budget and had worried I'd find the home-buying experience stressful. During my search for a home, Kristen w...

When you are a first-time home buyer it can be very scary and overwhelming at first. However, from the moment we met Kristen Cramer I knew that we were in good hands. What impressed me the most was her knowledge of every aspect of the home-buying process from start to finish. Her constant attention made you feel as if you were her only client which we knew was not the case! She always answered her questi...
— Genessa O.
Kristen has made miracles happen back when we had bidding wars. I got a house that had 8 other offers, and Kristen made sure my offer stood out. I have bought one house and have sold one as well as sold a condo with Kristen. When it comes time to sell, Kristen gets the other agents to preview the property prior to listing, to make sure the price is right. Really knows the neighborhoods, and can smell mol...
— Buyer & Seller
Kristen has been my real estate agent for more than ten years. She worked with me closely in buying our current home in the Magnolia area of Seattle and my previous home in Ballard which was the best investment I've ever made. She has also continually supported my wife and me with advice on market conditions, home values, and service referrals for home repair and improvements. She is a very knowledgeable...
— Chad R.
Kristen was tireless in finding buyers, holding fruitful open hours, and then, she helped me with negotiations to find and buy a condo.
— Buyer | Seller
Kristen helped me buy my first home and I couldn't have asked for a better agent. She was very knowledgeable, organized, and bent over backward to meet my needs. The price range I was looking in was very low, but she still treated me like her number 1 client. She is very personable and made the home-buying process as stress-free as possible. I will definitely use Kristen again for my real estate needs.
— Buyer
Kristen Cramer helped us buy our first home, an experience we expected to be daunting, but with her as our guide proved to be smooth and seamless. Over the years, Kristen has represented friends and relatives of ours and all have been thrilled with her service. We continue to recommend Kristen and will absolutely engage her services the next time we're in the market.
— Moe
Kristen made my first-time home-buying experience fun and enjoyable. She never pressured me to purchase anything other than the perfect home. She was quite literally with me every step of the way. Her passion and knowledge shine. I cannot endorse her enough. She is the first and last person I will go to for real estate.
— Ward V.
As a first-time homebuyer in an economic downturn, it was hard to make the jump to homeownership from renting. I had a lot to learn about the process and the commitment. Kristen Cramer had helped my mom get into a home when we had first moved to Washington. I chose Kristen after seeing how she had kept my mom’s best interests paramount. Kristen understood my taste almost immediately. It was so nice to ha...
— Colin P.
We purchased our first home with Kristen's help and we were so happy to have her there with us to explain the process in detail. She made the whole process as easy as possible for us. She was friendly, timely, and organized; a great advocate for us to help us get the home we wanted in a hot market.
— Buyer
Kristen was outstanding to work with. She knew the market, she knew the process, she was very responsive, and she worked very hard for me, both in selling my house, and helping me buy one. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with Kristen. I recommended her to both my brother and sister, and they were both happy with their experiences as well.
— Bradin S.
Kristen is a fabulous agent and I have recommended her to three of my friends who also have had great experiences using her. In 2001 she helped us buy our first house, and in 2009, in a very tough market helped us successfully place a contingent offer on our new home and sell our first home. She is responsive, professional, and fun to work with! We will use her again, but hopefully not for a long time si...

I have referred Kristen to friends and relatives and they have all had the same wonderful experience I had. She makes being a home a comfortable and enjoyable process from start to finish. When I sell my home she will be the person I call.
— Buyer
Overall, Kristen is amazing! She's extremely knowledgeable, professional, well-connected, ethical, responsive, and she's funny! What more could you want? Kristen first helped us sell our house in Seattle. We had lived in the house for 17 years, and Kristen was knowledgeable about what things we should "fix" to get the best price. She also had referrals for people who could do the work. This was during a ...

Kristen did an incredible job of partnering with us in the process of selling our home. From the initial assessment to the final negotiations, she was there every step of the way. She really listened to us, understood our needs, and always made us feel like we were a high priority. Kristen has a deep knowledge of the area market, and expertly guided us through what can be a stressful experience by provid...

We found Kristen to help us purchase our first home. After our first day of seeing several houses, Kristen picked up on what we liked and didn't like and began emailing us new houses as they came on the market. We put offers on 5 houses within 6 months, including bank-owned, short sales, and typical straightforward sales, many of which were multiple offer situations. Kristen was always willing to find ti...
— Rachel M.
Kristen was amazing! She responded immediately to our questions big and small, and was extremely helpful on anything that needed to be done - from letting repairmen into our house to finding the right repairman. Also, Kristen has an amazing Directory of people who get things done at reasonable prices. Kristen knew the answers to things I would never dream of coming up in the selling of the home. I suspec...
— Jill B.
Kristen obviously recognizes a central axiom of good customer service: if you focus on providing great service, the rest (i.e. the commission) will take care of itself. She was approachable, knowledgeable (especially about the area, which wasn't on her home turf, demonstrating to me her overall familiarity with the Seattle-Tacoma real estate market in general, and the area where we were searching in part...
— Buyer
Kristen has a detailed knowledge of neighborhoods and things to look for when buying or selling a home. She worked tirelessly to meet our demanding needs and was a huge asset as we negotiated complicated real estate processes. We've worked with her three times and recommended her to others.
— Tobias L.
Buying a home is exciting, but it can be stressful as well. Buying one 3,000 miles from where you live has the potential to be 3,000 times as stressful. Fortunately, working with Kristen was fully exciting and not at all stressful. We were buying a condo as a second home near our daughter and her family, and so we started with Kristen's request for our priorities. We made two trips to Seattle. On our fir...
— Virginia G.
After an extensive search for a realtor to list and sell my Seattle home, I selected Kristen Cramer from Lake & Company. This turned out to be a wonderful decision. I cannot praise enough her hard work and commitment to help me sell my home. Pricing your home for sale is a critical step and Kristen did market research that far exceeded what I received from Windermere and Remax, the other 2 agencies I was...
— Christine R.
We are first time home buyers and really leaned on Kristen to educate us about the process. She was very good at pointing out things to look at in different houses and explaining the pros and cons of different types of windows, pipes, etc. We ended up making an offer on a house where there were a total of 7 bids. She helped us through the pre-inspection process and we consulted her when deciding on our o...
— Buyer
Kristen helped us find a rental property. She patiently showed us everything available on the market as we narrowed down our search to specific areas and types of properties. Her knowledge of Seattle is impressive! The hot Seattle market requires speed and knowledge. Kristen acted quickly and efficiently as soon as something appeared that we might be interested in. Kristen's wealth of experience came thr...
— Heidi S.
Kristen is an active listener. She not only took note of our initial "shopping list" as we described what we were looking for in a home, but she continued to listen to our comments to refine our choices. She made the homebuying experience delightful and low-stress. As we drove to the house that we later purchased, she told us it was the house for us and she was right.
— Lynn W.
Kristen did an excellent job of listening to our needs and working within our budget, needs, and wants requirements. She was very professional and easy to get along with and was willing to work with our schedule to show us a good amount of options each week as things became available.
— Buyer
Kristen did such an incredible job helping us find our home. As first-time home buyers, Seattle's crazy market was intimidating and overwhelming. Kristen made it easy to understand the home buying process as well as being there for us every step of the way. She went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met, as well has being flexible when our schedules got crazy. I recommend her to everyone I kno...
— Buyer
Kristen is by far the best agent that I've ever worked with. She is knowledgeable, efficient, and thorough, and most of all, I really appreciate her high integrity and honesty as well as her great sense of humor! She has the unique ability to build relationships that feel like true partnerships. I recommend her highly!
— Rob T.
Kristen is an expert real estate professional and her experience shows. She knows the Seattle market and was so patient with us as we explored what we wanted in a house and learned about different neighborhoods. She is level-headed and gave us so much guidance, both factual and emotional. We plan to use Kristen again for any our of real estate needs!
— Leslie R.
Kristen was fantastic to work with. She was honest and respectful and clearly knew her job. She did exactly what she said she was going to do and she did it well. She answered phone calls and emails promptly. Our house sold quickly and without and problems. I would highly recommend her for your next real estate transaction. Thank you, Kristen!
— Seller
Kristen helped us sell our home and was also the purchasing agent for our condo. She was awesome, and we would heartily recommend her. She got far over our asking price (before the market was crazy like it is now) and negotiated a great price for our purchase. Not only that, but she is fun to work with, personable, kind, honest, and always professional.
— Jan B.
Several years ago, I listed my home with Kristen and found her to be all of the above. While circumstances require that I take my house off the market, I will certainly retain her again when it is time for me to sell. I am very confident she will do her best to market it aggressively and advise me on what needs to be done to make it as inviting as possible.
— Seller
Kristen was always candid and helped us to see why a particular house may not suit us, which was invaluable. She understood the different eras of houses and quickly spotted things we needed to be aware of. Her knowledge of remodeling projects and things to look for in house conditions was also really helpful. Despite our long search, Kristen never lost patience or hope - even if we did!
— Buyer
Kristen was quick to respond when we needed appraisals after separating. She is very knowledgable and an excellent communicator, Quick and concise, you get the information without extra sales tactics. Very pro! I will definitely use her for the sale of my home.
— Buyer | Seller
Kristen gave us wonderful input to get the house ready to sell and get top dollar! Ranging from what to fix to choices of stagers. I highly recommend her!
— Sheila L.
Kristen is very knowledgeable and will try to help you in any way she can. She helped me find a home and went to many places even though I knew very little about home buying. She was able to answer all of my questions and make sure that I felt comfortable buying the home I had. She even helped me save a few thousand dollars by helping me write better offer letters.
— Bleaton G.
We hired Kristen to help us purchase a home. I found her to be a very warm person who really values her clients. I felt she went the extra mile to always be responsive whenever we had questions, and did a great job accommodating our schedules and requests. She had a good knowledge of the neighborhoods in Seattle and the characteristics and caveats for them. I would highly recommend Kristen for her servic...
— Buyer
Kristen is the best! I honestly think we would not have got the house we wanted if she had not been involved in the process. In such a competitive market you need to have the best professionals on your side or you will be lost.
— Buyer
Working with Kristen to sell our home in Seattle was a great experience. Not only is she knowledgeable about the market, but she took the time to explain to us the ins and outs of this monumental project since we were first-time home sellers. Once we cleared the place out, she took charge of getting it ready for the market where it sold in less than two weeks! We highly recommend Kristen for her energy, ...
— Rodela C.
Kristen is a true professional, detail-oriented, and focused on a great client experience! She stayed in contact with me for the entire 14 years since helping me buy my home and did a great job helping me sell it.
— Seller
Kristen has a wealth of knowledge from many years of experience and knows the local Seattle residential real estate market well. My wife and I were first-time homeowners and relatively new to Seattle. Kristen patiently worked with us and helped us eventually find and buy our dream house. She's open, honest, and often gives valuable insights when viewing houses. Overall, she was a pleasure to work with an...
— Scott B.
Can't say enough good things about Kristen! She was exceptionally patient with us as first-time buyers in a very competitive market. It took us over 9 months to find our home and she never ceased to be optimistic and determined. When we finally found the right property, she helped us get an incredible deal. She is knowledgeable and frank in her assessments, and provides the highest quality customer servi...
— Marina
I'm a first-time home buyer and didn't know much about the process that goes into buying a home. Kristen made sure I was well-informed the entire time, walking me through all the steps. She made sure I knew what my options were and how to best handle the seller's market that we are currently living in, here in Seattle. Kristen was avidly watching out for listings and was able to get us to see houses befo...
— Buyer
As a first-time buyer, I was pretty wary of real estate agents trying to take advantage of my inexperience, but Kristen never ever made me feel like I was being pressured into buying a place that I didn't feel was 100% right! In many cases, Kristen was actually the one to point out potential faults with apartments that I had either missed or not taken into consideration. I definitely didn't expect that f...
— Buyer
Kristen has bought and sold a home for us. Her complete knowledge of the real estate industry and the lovely person she is makes her invaluable. She makes buying and selling a home easy. She is up-to-date and educated. We had so many questions and concerns - as buyers or sellers do! - and she has calm, cool, and smart advice for it all. Kristen just sold our home on the Eastside; we had multiple offers o...
— Buyer | Seller
Kristen was fantastic and truly went above and beyond to help me and my husband find our first home. From our first face-to-face interaction with her, we knew she was a keeper. We flew into Seattle (and it was only our second time in the city, but we knew we would be moving here several months later), and Kristen cleared her entire Saturday to take us house-hunting for the whole day. Nine months and coun...
— Anna V.
Kristen Cramer is the epitome of a Woman of Rectitude! I would highly recommend her in any situation. You can trust her integrity, knowledge, and honesty. Plus she has a whimsical sense of humor. She recently handled the sale of my house. It was an unbelievably smooth experience. Thanks to Kristen. And to be quite honest with you. It was not the money generated by the sale. It was my real estate experien...
— Seller
Kristen is a brilliant agent! We highly recommend her. She handled the sale of our condo this summer, 2013. It was a very, very difficult sale due to a complicated situation within the building that was only revealed after we went to market. It took all of us completely by surprise, causing what should have been a quick, easy sale in a hot market to take an agonizing 90 days. The deal almost collapsed se...
— Seller
Kristen deftly handled a thorny issue with buyer #1, who backed out of our deal, and successfully closed a deal with buyer #2 in short order. She always kept us well-informed and did a great job helping us prepare the property for sale since we no longer live in the area.
— Seller
Kristen is the most reliable and professional realtor I've ever worked with, out of 12 house sales in my life. She recommended a very unique pricing and marketing strategy which turned out to be perfect for the season (March) and our neighborhood (Maple Leaf) and which ended up with us getting a dozen great bids and 15% over our asking price. Kristen was always available for staging advice and a huge res...
— Seller
We were searching for a Realtor to sell our townhouse in the Seattle market and read the reviews for Kristen Cramer. The reviews could not be more accurate, she is the consummate professional, knows the market and kept us informed all the way through the process. Kristen returned phone calls and e-mails promptly, evenings or weekends, it didn't matter! She brought us up to speed on the markets, trends an...
— Seller
We chose Kristen to sell our townhouse after an earlier unsuccessful attempt. She promptly explained the area and the market and noted things that would make a difference to our sale. She had good connections and was an excellent photographer. It was an intense experience for us but everything went through without a hitch. We were concerned not only about selling the property but about doing it well. I t...
— Peri L.
Kristen was amazing throughout the entire process of buying our house. I really felt like she had our best interest in mind and never let us settle for anything less than what we deserved. She knew the area very well and was very responsive in communication. In the end, she felt like a true friend. We will definitely be working with Kristen in the future and would recommend her to anyone.
— Buyer
Working with Kristen was a wonderful experience. As first-time sellers, we were completely in the dark about the process and didn't know what to expect. But Kristen put us at ease from the start, coming prepared with answers to questions we didn't even know to ask. She was exceptionally responsive, understanding, and accommodating, and made the process easy and virtually worry-free for us. I would recomm...
— Seller
My partner and I spent the first half of the year in the amiable company of Kristen Cramer. Almost every free moment through winter and spring was spent in communication with Kristen, whether the three of us were running across town in Kristen's hybrid to look at homes or sending and responding to a flurry of late-night emails. Every step of the way Kristen was patient, informative, and incredibly kind. ...
— Buyer
We know a number of real estate agents, and having bought and sold several homes in our lifetime, we have more than a little experience with them. Never have we known one as professional and excellent in every way as Kristen has been. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have met her! We have been so impressed and helped throughout the process of selling our home and buying another, by her knowledge, ...
— Tom J.
I can not say enough good things about Kristen! As a first-time home buyer, I was in way over my head. Kristen took the time to explain to me the nature of the market, what to expect, and how everything worked. She never pressured me and was always there when I had a question. She spent the time to learn what I liked. Then she set me up with emails of homes that met my personal criteria. She showed me ma...
— Buyer
Kristen is an absolutely outstanding real estate professional. She has an incredible amount of local knowledge, patience with clients, and a balanced perspective. We found her to be refreshingly honest and proactive in pointing out both the pros and cons of properties and neighborhoods that a client may overlook. It was clear that she had our long-term interests in mind. And all this with a wonderfully p...
— Buyer
Kristen Cramer took on a challenging sale especially as I live overseas. She ensured that there was routine communication with me and handled the transaction which went very smoothly in a professional and efficient manner. I would recommend Kristen to anyone who wants their townhouse sold fast and hassle-free.
— Seller
Kristen Cramer helped me purchase my duplex back in 1995 as my buyer's broker. Fifteen years later she listed and sold my duplex as the seller's broker. In 1995 she demonstrated her excellent skills in negotiating the price, work orders as a result of the structural inspection, closing and occupancy dates, and more. In March of 2011, she listed my duplex and with a keen understanding of the local market ...
— Dru D.
I can unreservedly recommend Kristen to anyone in the markets I have been in. And I have no reason to believe she is no less capable in any other greater Seattle market. She helped me sell and buy two pairs of homes. For the first sale and purchase, she came on recommendation from friends. The second time I did a careful vetting of three agents or agencies. All properties were essentially in NW Seattle. ...
— Buyer & Seller
Kristen is very good at what she does. She goes that extra mile for the client. We live in Longview, WA and she helped us buy property in Seattle, WA. where she is from. It went very smoothly using the Internet, e-mail, and phone.
— Gary H.
Kristen was our agent when we bought our first house in 1999. She was also our agent when we sold that house and bought our current house. Kristen provided us with valuable knowledge that met the current real estate market conditions. Kristen is always very professional and was always there when we needed to ask questions. If you are buying or selling a home, Kristen IS the one! Thanks Kristen, Justin an...
— Justin C.
Kristen listened to our goals and preferences. She used her knowledge of the area to get past our own faulty assumptions (such as 'all of Bellevue is too rich for us.') Then she guided us through the process without pressuring us to make the decisions she might have preferred.
— Buyer & Seller
Kristen was excellent at showing me homes that met my criteria, financially and otherwise. She had a great way of gently reminding me of my own priorities! Because my price range was so low, we didn't find anything in the Seattle area (north or south). When we started looking on the east side, she was hesitant because Kristen knew I loved the city. Living in suburban Bellevue might not cut it. However, w...
— Buyer
Kristen was an absolute pleasure to work with. She took the time to learn what we really wanted in a home and then found us the perfect match. Throughout the entire process, she was always straightforward and honest, and it was clear she had our best interests in mind. She came highly recommended by several colleagues, and we now recommend her to anyone who is looking for an agent. We will definitely tur...
— Buyer
Kristen Cramer was my Realtor during the sale of my old home and the purchase of my new home. This was my first experience conducting a concurrent buy or sell and I needed a lot of coaching along the way. She was the consummate professional, providing expert guidance at every turn, making the experience much smoother than I could have ever anticipated. When I first met Kristen, she came to my house prepa...
— Tanya T.
Kristen helped us find our home over a six-month period in which we looked at over 200 potential homes - literally. She has the patience of a saint and knows her way around Seattle extremely well. It may not have taken so long if we had actually paid attention to her suggestions on how to bid. Eventually, we learned that she does know everything! She found us the perfect home, and we (finally) put togeth...
— Buyer
As someone who has had the pleasure of working with Kristen Cramer as both a buyer and a seller, I would like to take this opportunity to assure you that you are in good hands. She handled everything efficiently and professionally, which was a great relief since I was a first-time buyer on a tight budget and had worried I'd find the home-buying experience stressful. During my search for a home, Kristen w...
— Buyer | Seller
When you are a first-time home buyer it can be very scary and overwhelming at first. However, from the moment we met Kristen Cramer I knew that we were in good hands. What impressed me the most was her knowledge of every aspect of the home-buying process from start to finish. Her constant attention made you feel as if you were her only client which we knew was not the case! She always answered her questi...
— Genessa O.
Kristen has made miracles happen back when we had bidding wars. I got a house that had 8 other offers, and Kristen made sure my offer stood out. I have bought one house and have sold one as well as sold a condo with Kristen. When it comes time to sell, Kristen gets the other agents to preview the property prior to listing, to make sure the price is right. Really knows the neighborhoods, and can smell mol...
— Buyer & Seller
Kristen has been my real estate agent for more than ten years. She worked with me closely in buying our current home in the Magnolia area of Seattle and my previous home in Ballard which was the best investment I've ever made. She has also continually supported my wife and me with advice on market conditions, home values, and service referrals for home repair and improvements. She is a very knowledgeable...
— Chad R.
Kristen was tireless in finding buyers, holding fruitful open hours, and then, she helped me with negotiations to find and buy a condo.
— Buyer | Seller
Kristen helped me buy my first home and I couldn't have asked for a better agent. She was very knowledgeable, organized, and bent over backward to meet my needs. The price range I was looking in was very low, but she still treated me like her number 1 client. She is very personable and made the home-buying process as stress-free as possible. I will definitely use Kristen again for my real estate needs.
— Buyer
Kristen Cramer helped us buy our first home, an experience we expected to be daunting, but with her as our guide proved to be smooth and seamless. Over the years, Kristen has represented friends and relatives of ours and all have been thrilled with her service. We continue to recommend Kristen and will absolutely engage her services the next time we're in the market.
— Moe
Kristen made my first-time home-buying experience fun and enjoyable. She never pressured me to purchase anything other than the perfect home. She was quite literally with me every step of the way. Her passion and knowledge shine. I cannot endorse her enough. She is the first and last person I will go to for real estate.
— Ward V.
As a first-time homebuyer in an economic downturn, it was hard to make the jump to homeownership from renting. I had a lot to learn about the process and the commitment. Kristen Cramer had helped my mom get into a home when we had first moved to Washington. I chose Kristen after seeing how she had kept my mom’s best interests paramount. Kristen understood my taste almost immediately. It was so nice to ha...
— Colin P.
We purchased our first home with Kristen's help and we were so happy to have her there with us to explain the process in detail. She made the whole process as easy as possible for us. She was friendly, timely, and organized; a great advocate for us to help us get the home we wanted in a hot market.
— Buyer
Kristen was outstanding to work with. She knew the market, she knew the process, she was very responsive, and she worked very hard for me, both in selling my house, and helping me buy one. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with Kristen. I recommended her to both my brother and sister, and they were both happy with their experiences as well.
— Bradin S.
Kristen is a fabulous agent and I have recommended her to three of my friends who also have had great experiences using her. In 2001 she helped us buy our first house, and in 2009, in a very tough market helped us successfully place a contingent offer on our new home and sell our first home. She is responsive, professional, and fun to work with! We will use her again, but hopefully not for a long time si...
