When Ken and Judy Free, high school sweethearts married for more than 60 years, decided to sell their home on beautiful Trout Lake in Edgewood, they knew who to use. Kathy Kleber and her Team RED approach met their needs perfectly and they had the added benefit of knowing her for years. “Trust is the biggest asset of a real estate agent,” said Ken recently. “Kathy really has the experience with people like us who are deciding the next step as they age.”
Team RED focuses on “serving with heart.” Kathy assisted the Frees in selling their lakefront home and evaluating their options of moving before selling or selling and then moving. In their case, the Frees felt most comfortable waiting until the final stages of their home sale before committing to their next place to live.
According to Kathy, “Ken and Judy had a lovely home that looked staged just the way they lived so staying in the home during the sales process worked well.” Kathy recommended a seller pre-inspection that found a few items worth fixing to ensure a smooth sale.
“Kathy knew landscapers and construction people to hire that she could already vouch for based on price and reliability,” said Ken. “It made us feel good to know we wouldn’t be taken advantage of.”
Once the sale of their home was imminent, Kathy discussed their option to hire a move manager. “Ken and Judy knew their home well and were committed to going through all the items themselves as they organized,” Kathy said. Tools went to family members and many items, perfect for the house, stayed for the buyers. Judy’s beautiful artwork and collections were blessed to friends at a post-sale gifting event.
According to Kathy, “When we say we are by our seller’s side every step of the way, we want them to know it is a partnership. Every client and every home sale is a customized service.” Team RED stands beside their clients with resources for every situation and solution.
Kathy and her team offer a complimentary consultation. Serving with heart, homes for all life’s seasons.
