Kent Realtor Marti Reeder Named Best Realtor in Best of Kent 2010, Top Lister for First Quarter

Online, May 11, 2010 (Newswire.com) - For the third year in a row, Realtor® Marti Reeder of John L. Scott was named "Best Realtor" in the Kent Reporter's 2010 Best of Kent contest. Nominees were selected by Kent Reporter's readers who submitted ballots for their favorite Kent officials, business owners and volunteers. Reeder previously won the honor of "Best Realtor" in 2008 and 2009.

The award closely follows two other prestigious real estate awards, presented by John L. Scott. The first was the 2009 President's Elite award, given to only 60 other sales associates in Western Washington. Reeder won the award for helping 24 families find homes in the Puget Sound area during 2009. The second award was the honor of being "Top Lister" at John L. Scott in Kent for the first quarter of 2010.

"The last couple of years in real estate have been challenging, so it is rewarding to be recognized for hanging in there as the market and the economy adjust," Reeder said. "It is particularly heartwarming to be recognized by my clients and peers for providing good service in tough times. It makes all of the hard work worth it!"

As a lifelong resident of King County, Reeder began her real estate career with John L. Scott in Kent six years ago. Specializing in Puget Sound homes, Reeder is a full-time, full-service Realtor® working out of the John L. Scott office on the East Hill (Kent-Kangley Road and 132nd).
