We gladly recommend Kimmel & Young of Windemere Real Estate. They have a wealth of experience in the Kitsap area. Our family has used them for multiple home sales. They do a deep dive into pricing, tending toward realistic pricing based on market conditions. They provide references for skilled crafts to handle needed repairs as they participate in which repairs should be done. They recommend top of the line inspectors to recommend needed maintenance. (In our case the buyers waived their own inspection due to the quality of the one we hired). They keep the process moving forward in a timely manner. They are responsive to questions. They handle the staging and picture taking which is included in the fees. They are encouraging. In our case, our preference was in selling quickly at a decent price. The market wasn't great due to high interest rates and political situation, and we noticed that many homes on the market were lowering their asking sales price. As it turned out, we sold our home in six days at the full asking price.

We just finished working with the Kimmel & Young team on our third real estate transaction with them (dating back to a 2011 purchase). This one was our second selling experience with them. We can't speak highly enough about Joni, Bridget and their team! They are thorough, professional, careful, knowledgeable, supportive -- and always cheerful! Over the years we have bought and sold many homes and Joni, Bridget and their team stand out! Bruce & Eileen Drake

Joni and her team are phenomenal! Since I am a long distance homeowner, she had to find and coordinate with many service providers to prepare the house for sale. She certainly went above and beyond! I had two offers in the first five days, accepted an all cash offer and the house closed less than three weeks after listing. Pretty amazing!

Joanie and Bridget are an amazing combination to represent a client during a real estate transaction. But, beyond that, they care about you as a person. There is a clear commitment and communication about the goal not just for their clients but also for the buyers. This has been a wonderful opportunity and experience for us. I have absolutely no reservations recommending Joanie and Bridget to anyone. Wow!!

Joni and Bridget are a perfect blend of personal attention and business acumen. They have all the soft skills to bring you along and the experience and resilience to close even the most complex transactions. We have known both Joni and Bridget for over 4 decades, and we have done business with them for nearly 25 years, not once have we regretted their advice on pricing, contractor recommendations, staging, etc. The choice to go with their team is something we would always recommend without hesitation.

Joni & Bridget did a great job to get our house on the market and sold quickly. They did a real nice job getting the house staged, painted, repaired and posting beautiful pictures. Their stager Cori Harris was awesome. We had one small stretch of communication issues but got that resolved.

We worked particularly with Joni, but very much appreciated Bridget's help, as well. What most impressed me was the high level of professionalism that was in every element of the sale. A date was set for listing and essentially we met that. To keep on schedule we needed help with painting, lawn mowing and landscaping, house cleaning and window washing. Joni and Bridget had recommendations for each of these, and they were all people of high integrity and skill who showed when we needed them. With the gardens I was surprised to see how beautiful Cesar and crew could make them, like the estate we hoped a buyer might project. Painting the interior was something we were quickly running out of time for, but Brad made it happen in time for staging. Throughout , I would say, that if something were to go sideways, that I, and so my mother, could be confident our brokers would find us the best way to continue forward. But Joni and Bridget know their business, and all went as hoped. Thank you for your special care in making what could have been a difficult experience for my mother into one she could feel good about. I actually can't say enough. This experience was just positive and good, and that never can be taken for granted.

Joni, Bridget, Sheena and Veronica were extremely professional and very easy to work with. The consistent communication that we had with them was excellent. We recommend them 100% without hesitation. Thank you to the Kimmel & Young team!!

The team at Kimmel and Young was a Godsend in helping my mother-in-law sell her home. From start to finish they helped all of us through the process. They answered every question in a timely manner and communicated clearly the process. We appreciate them picking her up and driving her to their office to explain and sign documents. These details matter when selecting a trustworthy agent. We are thankful we had Joni and Bridget to help make this transition easy and stress-free for my mother-in-law. Thank you for all you have done for our family!!!!!

We couldn't be happier with the outstanding service provided by the Kimmel and Young real estate team. Their expert advice, unwavering professionalism, and meticulous attention to detail guided us through the entire home-selling process. Thanks to their efforts, we not only maximized our property's value but also felt well-cared for at every step. We highly recommend their services.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. I worked primarily with Bridget. The few times she was otherwise occupied, Joni stepped right in without missing a beat. My house was definitely not perfect, but these pros helped focus my efforts and resources for maximum impact. If you listen and follow their lead, you’ll get a lot out of your selling experience - and I’m not just talking about profits. They stopped by at one point because “they were in the area.” I could tell this was a ruse concocted by caring people who genuinely wanted to lift my spirits in what is truly a difficult process: packing and prepping a home. This team really cares about their clients and does so without neglecting the business side of the equation. It was a pleasure working with Kimmel & Young!
