“I had known Carol from some ago and she put me in touch with Debbie Windish. Debbie was a godsend who aggressively marketed the property and went above and beyond preparing the house for showing . She contacted her network of contractors to fix issues that came up. When a prospective buyer surfaced Debbie provided good counsel and suggestions to address concerns. Debbie is excellent thinking on her feet to keep negotiations for sale moving forward. Debbie Windish was constantly in touch through text message and phone call s. She was always contacting us to discuss issues with the property and readily available when we reached out to her. Wonderful experience with Debbie Windish. I’ve bought and sold homes in City of Peoria, rural PEORIA county, Washington and East Peoria with local realtors and Debbie Windish has been the best experience thus far and raised the bar in my mind about what a Eealtor can do for you.”

Karen is quick to offer advice when needed, but never pushy. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a realtor. She is easy to contact and always follows up on any issues that arise. She pays attention to every detail and works hard to make the process as easy as possible for you. She has handled multiple transactions for me, and working with her has been a pleasure every time!”

“Given that we do not live locally in the Peoria area, Karen's expertise and knowledge gave me great comfort, as well as confidence, as we progressed through the purchase process. I greatly appreciated Karen's extra efforts to represent us and help us through the inspections and other activities given we were out of town when they were taken place. We started looking for our home in the Peoria area about 2 years ago. Whenever I would visit Peoria, I would contact Karen and provide a list of houses I would like to see. Karen was always friendly, helpful and made herself accessible during my visits. I greatly appreciate Karen's patience and professionalism as we progressed through this long process.”
