I was her Personal Representative, and as the only sibling in the area, was the one to take care of her Estate. I am very fortunate to have a friend and daughter-in-law, Kristin Tennison, who works with Chad at HAUER HOMES Keller Williams Realty. Kristin is a very honest, hardworking gal, who always goes the extra mile. She took care of everything. . . from finding me an estate lawyer, cleaning out, staging, and showing the house, to the final sale. She kept me informed and made the entire sale process as smooth as possible. Kristin sold the house in a very short period of time for top dollar... I am so very grateful to her. You couldn't ask for a more trustworthy, dedicated realtor. She and the Hauer Homes team are exceptional! Donna T

Remote property investment requires quite a few things, among which are: capital, understanding of…read morethe market, a good realtor, an excellent mortgage guy, plenty of luck, and an outstanding property manager. The reason is simple: identifying a real estate market as promising, bidding, winning, closing, are all one-time deals. At the end of the day, the remote property investor goes home, and the property stays behind in the skillful hands on the property manager. As a remote property manager, one's goal is to let the property be. You want good tenants, who not only pay on time without an issue, but also keep your property clean. You want the tenants to be happy, the HOA to be content, and for the account to be uneventful - and by that I mean for the statements to come in on time, the payments deposited in the account on time, and for work, when needed, to be done carefully and with some sense of balancing cost and benefit. You want your property manager to be attentive, responsive to emails and texts, and to be a phone call away when issues come up. And they do. I found all that and more with the Blyle Team. We've been doing business for almost two years now, and I couldn't be happier. The office team is professional, courteous, knowledgeable. They do everything carefully, and quickly, and most of all: always with a smile. If you need your property manged in the Olympia/Tumwater/Lacey area - The Blyle Team is your best bet.

This property management gave him and his wife keys to my rental where he physically assaulted me and my 7 year old daughter. Worst property management around rent at your own risk. First off the owner Cindy is a B**** and is extremely rude. They gave the home owner the keys to the rental before even giving me the keys. The homeowner had access to the rental while I lived there. He physically assaulted myself and my child then Cindy and her god awful team turned around and tried to blame me for it. I already had PTSD and these people made it 100x worse. I hope these people rot in their own hell for what they put me and my kids through. Good luck renting from them. I wish I could have given them no stars. I added the pictures of the closet the owner threw me through, the keys to my car he threw against the wall to break so I couldn't leave and some of the bruises from him throwing me around my own bedroom. Then they tried to make me out to seem like I was insane, so rent at your own risk and I pray you don't have the same experience as me. You can ask all the neighbors they will tell you the same thing. They also like to kick people out to place friends and family in there so don't plan to stay long.

I am not a customer of Shane/Lisa's but I've been their go-to photographer for the past 2 years…read more.. And in this timespan, I've had an opportunity to see how they treat their clients. It's unlike any other agent I've worked with. Most agents will post their cell phone pics on the MLS and call it good. Shane and Lisa call in multiple professionals and work as a team. Every house I've shot for them has had some sort of fixture replaced, a deep cleaning, something painted (if not the whole house), concrete cleaned, windows washed, modern house numbers added, plants/sod/potting soil added. Once all that is done, they'll bring in the stager and photographer. Then they'll market the house on multiple social media channels and have a custom URL website for the property. I know I'm missing something because the extent they go to is overwhelming. I don't know how they do it and still have time to sleep. If I was going to intrust ANYONE to sell my house - it would be without a doubt, Shane and Lisa Klinkhammer. They make the world a better place and deserve so, so much more.

Shane is a not just a good real estate agent, but an exceptional one; he is by far the best one we've ever had. What stood out right away when we met him is his great desire to help us find the ideal home for us. He worked with us for several weeks before we made our house-hunting trip from LA by providing us on a daily basis the homes we would be interested in and helped us compile a top-20 list based on our specifications. Its very apparent that he loves serving people and has a tremendous enthusiasm for the business of real estate. It also doesn't hurt that he is backed up by his extremely capable wife, Lisa, who is the brains and logistics expert behind Shane's energy and drive. They provided us with a binder that contained details of each home on our daily tour and pertinent information on the community - maps and data on shopping, stores, restaurants, and schools. He's not that super-extroverted personality who talks a lot, but has that just right touch of providing all the necessary information on a community that we were driving and then waiting to listen to our reactions to the community and the home. He has that winning personality and sense of humor that you feel very happy and comfortable with and driving the properties turned out to be very pleasurable task rather than a boring chore. For every home we visited, he had helpful remarks on layout, good and not-so-good features and where we might need work done. He helped us compile a list of our top-5 properties and, when it came time to settle on our first choice and make an offer, he helped us figure out advantages and disadvantages of each one, rank them, and strategize our approach. We never had a shred of doubt of his honesty and integrity and that he was completely on our side. Shane also has an extensive network of support entities of mortgage brokers, appraisers, inspectors and handy men, and knew most of the listing agents. We were extremely lucky to have the Kilnkhammer team help us find our dream home and count our blessings that we had them looking out for our interests.
