Because of Ken's approach and marketing plan, we received 12 offers and 25% over the ask. When preparing to sell we asked several REALTORS what we might do to maximize the appeal and sales price of our Queen Anne home. Ken Graff of Coldwell Banker Bain provided the most useful list of improvements and those served as our guide. We had not engaged Ken but he stayed in touch, helping us as we went along. Multiple agents had approached us by the time we were ready to go to market but it was clear that Ken was invested in the project and in getting us the highest return possible. Ken's advice on pricing and staging was excellent but he never over-promised. His marketing of the home resulted in hundreds of people viewing it. Several days running it was Zillow's most viewed home in the area. Ken was strategic in pricing, aggressive in marketing, and completely professional throughout. Because …

Several days running it was Zillow's most viewed home in the area. Ken was strategic in pricing, aggressive in marketing, and completely professional throughout. Because of Ken's approach and execution of his marketing plan, we received 12 offers in a week and sold the house at more than 25% above the asking price. He delivered far more than we expected. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Ken and couldn't be happier with his results. We gladly recommend him to anyone contemplating a sale of their home.
Ken managed multiple offers masterfully, it went for 21% over asking. Ken sold our mom's house for us. He gave great advice but let us make our own decisions about things like timing, whether or not to do a pre-inspection, staging, pricing, etc. In retrospect, his advice was spot on. He knows what he is doing, and he also has integrity and respects his clients. We ended up with multiple offers with escalation clauses, and Ken managed that auction day (the day we opened offers) masterfully. We feel he obtained for us the true market value of the home, which these days, is pretty high. It went for 21% over asking. Before listing, we had offers from people who wanted to buy the house directly from us. Some in the family thought we should skip staging expenses, skip paying a REALTOR and do a for sale by owner. We know that good REALTOR do more than pay for themselves and we were right. But t…

We know that good REALTOR do more than pay for themselves and we were right. But the nice thing is, Ken has integrity, so while we are happy we got the best possible price, we know the process was honest. If it's not clear by now, we recommend Ken without reservation. Especially if you are selling a home in a hot market, and need someone who can make sure you get the full value of your home.
As a commercial REALTOR myself, I could tell that Ken had the proper skillset and experience. I trusted that Ken would do a great job as a listing agent for my wife and me. As a commercial REALTOR myself, I could tell that ken had the proper skillset and experience to assist in successfully prepping and marketing the home for sale. I also trusted that he could successfully represent us and negotiate with the buyers and their brokers to achieve the best results for us. Throughout the entire process, he gave us excellent and prompt advice and input. When the purchase offers came in he spent great time and effort successfully negotiating the highest price and terms for us. A good real estate broker can bring in far more than they charge a client, and our trust was rewarded with a smooth sale process along with tens of thousands of dollars above our expectations. Thank you, Ken Graff.
Ken came to us with an aggressive marketing plan. Ken facilitated our Queen Anne home sale as our selling agent. We became acquainted with Ken as he had recently listed a comparable home in our neighborhood that sold quickly and over the asking price. We were hopeful for the same result. Ken came to us with an aggressive marketing plan. He presented as motivated, hard-working, and knowledgeable about what it would take to sell our home. This he accomplished in a short time and at top dollar. His marketing skills reached a broad internet population as well as Seattle area perspective buyers with open houses, mailings, and networking. He was a pleasure to work with in all respects. He was always available for us, returning our calls and helping us in many areas to get our house ready to sell. Ken is a smart agent who is kind and principled. We recommend him highly.
