Somerset Seller Case Study
14224 SE 45th PL, Bellevue
"Wow! We can’t say enough about Stephanie Kristen and Christine Hemnes. 11 out of 10!
Towards our goal of downsizing, they helped us sell one house and buy another. We appreciated their recommendations for what improvements to make, and contractor referrals to get some of the work done. These improvements, along with their fantastic staging, photography, and marketing materials all made our house look great in person, online, and in printed media. Wow!

When we identified our desired next home, Stephanie and Christine guided us through negotiations, and we purchased at 4% below the listing price. Wow!

Same Client! Buyer Case Study
12610 240th PL NE, Redmond
Christine and Stephanie make a great team. Any time we had a question, at least one of them responded almost immediately. They also provided comforting reassurance about things that stressed us. One thing we grew to appreciate – they sometimes had different initial opinions on things. When this occurred, they would explain their perspectives to each other and solicit our opinion.
They treated us not as a client, but as a partner. This collaboration led to decisions/approaches we knew were thoughtfully and thoroughly considered. Perhaps most important of all, Stephanie and Christine are warm, caring people whose company we always enjoyed. We laughed a lot! We always felt their professional goal was not to notch another sale, but to ensure our needs were met."

UW to Host New Zealand and Indiana at the 39th Annual Windermere Cup
On Saturday, May 3, the Windermere Cup will make its highly anticipated return to the Montlake Cut for its 39th year, bringing with it all the speed, pageantry, and community spirit Seattle has come to love.
The Windermere Cup began in 1987 when Windermere Real Estate founder John Jacobi partnered with the University of Washington and the Seattle Yacht Club to expand the crew races held annually on the Opening Day of Boating Season. The vision was simple but bold: bring the best rowing talent in the world to compete against UW’s elite program—and spotlight the Montlake Cut as a premier international racing venue.
39 years later, the Windermere Cup remains a cornerstone of Seattle’s Opening Day festivities—welcoming top international crews, celebrating the strength of community, and honoring a long-standing partnership between Windermere, UW, and the Seattle Yacht Club.
