Selling a home in today’s real estate market brings new challenges for both buyers and sellers. Strong communication skills set Kathy Kleber and her associates apart from other Realtors with their custom Team RED project management approach to full-service senior transitions.
According to Harvey and Phyllis Persinger, who recently sold their home using Team RED, “Any communication was immediate, whether it was a phone call or text; we didn’t have to wait hours or days for answers.”
In late 2023, Harvey and Phyllis, both in their 80s, decided they had reached a point in their life where their large, custom Geodesic home on 1.76 acres in Enumclaw was becoming too much for them to adequately maintain. Harvey, a former Weyerhaeuser employee, designed their original geodesic home in 1979. Later, he and Phyllis, also a former Weyerhaeuser employee, did a major remodel, creating a one-of-a-kind, 3530 square-foot custom home.
Once selected, Kathy of Team RED recommended the Persingers begin the sales process with their own home inspection, identifying several areas where work was needed in the house. Then financing was obtained so they could pay for many of the repairs before the home was sold. Team RED also tapped into their lending resources for options on any loans needed to finance a non-traditional home like a geodesic dome.
Team RED guided the Persingers through every step of their senior transition, which for them included packers and move managers, followed by estate disbursal including auction, donation and discard. Harvey and Phyllis moved right after New Years and with the help of their move managers, they quickly settled into their new home in Wesley at Tehaleh.
The Persingers worked closely with Team RED to evaluate the situation every step of the way and were willing to adjust to a price that was reflective of the changing market and the price reductions the buyers were having to make on the sale of their own property.
“The best part of working with Kathy is she was professional and courteous with us and right up front about what to expect,” said Harvey. Phyllis added, “They were exceptional … it was a flawless transition.”
