I am a former Navy Brat.  My dad retired here to the Pacific Northwest in 1975 because of the salmon fishing.  It is still his passion and we have called this area home ever since.

I have been around real estate since 1993.  I, first worked for a title company in Montana, then worked in escrow for 6 years in Marysville.  I am a LPO (Limited Practice Officer) on inactive status as well as a Notary Public.  I feel my background in escrow gives me a heads up in spotting problems and because I am highly aware of what happens in escrow, I am able to ensure a smoother closing process for my clients.

I worked as an assistant to a top producing real estate agent for two years before striking out on my own.  I love working in real estate and helping my clients make decisions on one of their most important investments.  I am a full time agent, a realtor and constantly learning something new.

I am the breadwinner in my family which means that I have a certain amount of success and dedication to my business.  I have 3 kids that I love, Nathan, Rebecca and Alex.  As a virtual empty nester, I have found that I enjoy country dancing and doggone it, just breathing.

I spent about 10 years of my life either coaching, managing or being a board member on the Mukilteo Little Leagues and was primarily focused on ensuring an ongoing softball program for the girls in the Mukilteo Little League.  I am happy to pass that baton to the next generation of volunteers!

Foremost, I am patient.  I am not here to force a decision on my clients.  I understand that life happens.  My purpose is to be as informative as I can so they are able to make good decisions.  To that end, it has not been unusual for me to hear from would be clients years later when "life" gives them a breather and they are ready to buy or sell real estate.

I love Snohomish County and have traveled most of its regions.  I am fond of homes on acreage and towards that end have shown a lot of properties in the boonies of Granite Falls, Arlington, Snohomish, Stanwood, Marysville and Monroe.

Last year, I sold more new construction than I ever had.  Fellow agents would probably agree that resale is more profitable and I couldn't disagree.  However, the better builders have systems set in place that make the process very smooth for clients.

I work with a lot of out of state buyers who are relocating to Washington.

I also have listed and sold a fair amount of duplexes and have repeat clients who are looking to build their real estate portfolio.

Dear Susan,   Now that I have settled into my new home I want to take the time to thank you for your wonderful, professional help in selling and buying my homes.  The new home is shaping up nicely and the extra room we have gained is a real blessing.   First let me say that I am really grateful for your tireless patience with my ever-changing home search.  You showed great persistence in sticking with me as my concept of the ideal home evolved.    I appreciate the wise counsel you provided and that you were willing to give frank advice when you thought I could make a better decision regarding details of negotiation.  In fact, your strong but even-handed negotiation on the sale of my home represented my family values perfectly.  You managed to get me more than my asking price and you did that with skill and dignity resulting in both parties being really happy with the deal.   Likewise in finding our new home you exceeded expectations with a home that cost less than I imagined for all the amenities that have come with it.  You showed me the energy, initiative, integrity and salesmanship that I value in business.   Thanks for your work, Susan.  I give you my heartiest recommendation as a professional real estate agent.    Sincerely,   Albert B York - Mill Creek   PS.  feel free to use me as a reference.

I  just wanted to praise Susan Funk at Keller Williams Realty in Everett Washington on what a terrific job she did for us. 

Susan not only sold our town home but got us into our dream home as well.  She worked hard for us.  No stone was unturned.  Her dedication to us and all her clients is unbelivable.  I think she is the most dedicated realtor I have ever met.  I can say this with much glee because I have met and worked with a lot of sorry realtors before.  She gets the job done.  When others drop the ball she always had ideas to keep the people interested in our home.  Open houses, luncheons, flyers, and ads in the local papers. 

I would recommend her to anyone and do.  I will use her for all my realtor needs.

Sincerely

Lesley Haley- Lake Stevens
