From Kelli Jo

Owning a vintage home is just one aspect of the Tacoma life that I so love! My husband was also raised in Tacoma, and we have owned several different homes in various neighborhoods. We relish our walkable neighborhoods, exploring the Puget Sound in our boat The Katie Bell, supporting the community by dining, shopping and volunteering locally and of course being humble stewards of our Craftsman home, urban garden & flock of city hens.

TESTIMONIAL:

“Kelli epitomizes the term “professional agent.” She listened to what we were looking for and showed us exactly the homes that fit our needs—there was no time wasted looking at unsuitable properties. We really appreciated her knowledge of the Tacoma area market, her ability to highlight the features of a house, (both positives and drawbacks) and her thorough and timely response to our questions. Having an agent who is so familiar with old homes was particularly valuable during inspections and negotiations. Throughout the whole home-buying process, we felt confident that we were in expert hands. I would not hesitate to recommend Kelli. Added bonus: she is really a pleasant person with a fun sense of humor!” -Dave Lee & Suzanne Mayr
