Realtor Marti Reeder of John L. Scott Named "Best of Kent" for Fifth Time

Online, May 2, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Marti Reeder of John L. Scott was named "Best Realtor" in the Kent Reporter's 2013 "Best of Kent" contest. This is the fifth time Reeder has received the award, having previously won in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012. Nominees for the honor were selected by Kent Reporter readers in the newspaper's annual contest. In addition to selecting their favorite realtor, readers chose their favorite Kent officials, volunteers, restaurants, shops and other businesses.

The 2013 "Best Realtor" award comes on the heels of 2012 awards Reeder received for her work at John L. Scott in Kent-Covington, including awards for Top Sales Resale for the first and second quarters, Top Producer for the second quarter, Top Lister Resale for the third and fourth quarters, and Top Producer for the fourth quarter. She also received John L. Scott's highest honor at year's end, the President's Elite Award, for the last four out of five years.

"At a time when Realtors have to stay on top of market shifts and trends, it is particularly rewarding to know that my clients appreciate my dedication and that my community supports me," Reeder said. "It makes the long hours and sacrifices worthwhile. It's truly an honor to represent my clients in their biggest financial decision."

As a lifelong resident of King County, Reeder helps individuals and families buy and sell homes throughout the greater Seattle area. In addition, the "Best of Kent" realtor focuses on educating consumers on the value of home ownership and ensuring that they understand changes in the real estate and mortgage industries and how they are personally impacted.

"Right now inventory is low, so this is a great time for home owners who are considering selling. They are more likely to get their asking price, so sellers are in a better position to make a move," Reeder explained. "Spring and summer are traditionally strong in the real estate market, so I encourage home owners to list their homes now, while competition is limited."
