About Us:
BROKER, GRI, ABR, CEO, BA, President and CEO of Bob Kling and Associates Realty, Inc.
I graduated from Centralia High School and Centralia College and earned my BA at Central Washington State College. In an on-going process of building my professional acumen, I earned several educational certificates in Real Estate. I have a Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI) Designation, and am an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR). I also received the rather rare "Certificate of Proficiency in Real Estate" from Centralia College. I have taken many courses at Pacific Lutheran University and while living in Boston, I had the opportunity to take numerous courses at Northeastern University and MIT. I like to say that I "almost graduated" from the school of hard knocks.
I am an active member in good standing with the Lewis County Board of Realtors and have held many offices therein. I am an active member in good standing with the Lewis County Rental Owners Association (LCROA) and have been it's President and Membership Chairman, Vice President, etc. I hold an active membership in The Northwest Multiple Listing Services (NWMLS). I am also occasionally active in the Lewis County Farm Bureau and the Eagles, Elks, and Moose Lodges.
I enjoy horse farming, working on and managing my rentals, snow and water skiing, fishing, boating, dancing and scuba diving. I love to design, fabricate, and build things in the five shop buildings on my property.

Testimonials
Bob Kling has always represented himself as a professional real estate agent. There is nobody in Lewis County working harder in real estate. I would recommend Bob to anybody who is looking for a very hard working agent who will do everything possible to find you a home.
Bob will work long hours and with great patience to make sure and find the home you are looking for.
Thank you Bob for all your hard work and professional manner in working with my family.

Dear Bob,
For some time now we have meant to thank you for your efforts to help us find just the right property. As you may remember, we came to you on the recommendation of my brother who was very pleased with his transaction. Gene and I are sure your personal efforts and knowledge of the area ensured our successful purchase of a property we love. We tell all of our friends you did a great job. Many Thanks,
- Gene and Gladys Constant
Bob Kling has always been very helpful in our real estate transactions. We have sent many people (who are now pleased customers) to Bob. If all agents could be as efficient as Bob, it would be a hard decision to choose the right one. But as far as we are concerned, Bob is the only man for the job, and unfortunately we have many of whom we have dealt with throughout the area that we can compare to.
- Mr. & Mrs. Ashworth
Bob is the King of Real Estate. I admire him and his abilities – I’m not just saying that, he is one of the few professionals I’ve met that are extremely competent and go far beyond the monetary remunerations to handle situations.
- Mr. Ted Shannon
Bob Kling is very knowledgeable in his field of endeavor, stays abreast of current market conditions and works diligently to fulfill client’s requests and needs.
We had been looking for a home with certain amenities for over two years without any success. We looked form Oregon through Washington, as far North as Mt. Vernon and the San Juan Islands. When we contacted Mr. Kling, we told him of our requirements for a home in the country. All the properties he showed us were within, or greater than the categories of property we stipulated. Mr. Kling is professional and courteous, as with many real estate people with whom we dealt, but he was the only one who was able to find the types of places we described. On our second visit to him, he showed us a home we had been looking for with amenities far greater than we had expected. The transaction between the owners and the listing agency were handled in a timely fashion allowing us to move in the minimum time.
We are extremely pleased with Bob Kling’s services and recommend him highly.

Dear Bob and Rebekah,
I wanted to stop and take a minute to let you know what a wonderful job you have done in representing us for our recent land purchase near Toledo. Your careful attention to detail and your understanding of our goals for investing in Real Estate were exceptional in finding the right property for us. Also noted is the expertise in which you assisted us in accomplishing this very sensitive purchase.
Your efforts and integrity have gone far to make our investment goals stay on track. We look forward to working with you upon completion of this development.
Sincerely,
Norman K. & Cathy Gastfield
