Peggy Frasse – Windermere Real Estate

One of the biggest changes in our life over this last year was our move into a wonderful co-​op building on the edge of Capitol Hill. Real estate purchases can be daunting in any market; given the turbulent micro-​climates of the Seattle area in particular, we needed an experienced navigator. Which is exactly what we got in working with Peggy!
You know how sometimes you meet people who exude (and embody) an incredibly comforting level of professional expertise, no matter their line of work? Peggy is that realtor. Not only has she lived in Seattle for years, she’s also owned properties all over town so is personally and professionally familiar with the difference in markets between neighborhoods. She’s a skilled negotiator and does an excellent job of reading and working with all different sorts of people. (For example, my sister was also doing a condo search with Peggy, so I got to see her work with someone entirely new to the real estate market, as well as answer extensive questions from my very real-​estate experienced father.)
Other realtors I’ve worked with in the past always left me concerned as to their competence or how well they knew what I wanted. More than once, in other transactions, I’d find missing details they should have noticed or asked questions that they hadn’t thought of or didn’t know how to answer. More than once I’d been shown properties that had nothing to do with my interests, lifestyle, or needs. Peggy was such a refreshing change from all of that: her extensive knowledge of construction in particular was so helpful when thinking about what to look for especially in older buildings, and she had such a great eye for properties that I would love (even when they weren’t ones that she herself would have highlighted).
Most importantly, we never felt rushed by her into a decision. Peggy was a great voice for thoughtfulness, patience, and moving with all deliberate speed (emphasis on deliberate!). We’ve been through a lot of unrelated setbacks since moving into our home, having to do entirely with random forces out of anyone’s control, and despite those difficulties there isn’t a moment when I think I’d want to live anywhere else other than this lovely, perfect spot she helped us find. And if and when the time comes to move (which I hope is far, far in the future), I hope Peggy’s still working her magic!

I both sold a co-​op and purchased a homes with the expertise of Peggy Frasse. She goes about the work entrusted to her with a calm presence. She’ll be sure to speak up to make certain your best interests are served. Of course she knows the ins and outs of her profession; it is the personal warmth and true caring she brings to it that floats you through the purchase or sale.
