Kim Pelham sells houses she can also fix. Her husband Brian is a general contractor, the two businesses run side by side, and between them they will do a little or a lot: paint the front door, remodel the whole house, or handle the downsizing, the estate sale and the move.

IN THIS EPISODE

Why a free pre-purchase walkthrough with a contractor is the business model, not a perk.
Senior Move Specialist work, where the hurdle is never the house, it is the stuff.
Which repairs a lender actually cares about, and which are money you are about to waste.
Empathy first, achiever second, and why that order matters.
Tulalip: waterfront with a view under nine hundred thousand, on land you own.
Everett, three places she takes people first.

QUOTES

“One of my clients said Brian is my secret weapon.”

“You cannot get a contractor to come out and speculate with you. He will gladly do that, at no charge, for my clients.”

“My number one strength is empathy and number two is achiever. I always lean first to understand.”

“Snohomish County is home. There is more room to breathe, more room to grow.”

WHAT KIM GIVES
Empathy first and action second. A contractor who will walk a house with you before you buy it. Honest budget guidance on which repairs matter to a lender. The whole downsizing handled. Snohomish County knowledge nobody gets from a search portal.

WHO SHE WANTS TO MEET
Subcontractors, and one urgently: a crawl space specialist who works in Granite Falls. More broadly, trades she can trust across Snohomish County, and the estate attorneys, elder-care advisers and senior living communities who meet those families before she does.
