“Kim was a pleasure to work with. I outreached her and within the same hour placed an offer on a home and it got accepted within 20 mins as a result of her clever tactic. She worked with me to make seller demands, communicated effectively and I got the result I wanted. The aftercare was also amazing. Certainly a royal memorable experience. Thank you Kim!”

The Realtor Next Door

I'm not the broker who shows up in a Mercedes with high heels. I'm the one who shows up in boots because I just walked your job site. I've lived in Snohomish County at three different chapters of my life - I know which streets flood in November, which coffee shops are worth the wait, and which neighborhoods still have that small-town feel.

When you work with me, you get someone who answers her own phone, stages your home with her own hands, and fights for every dollar because she remembers what it felt like to stretch for that first mortgage.

First-Time Buyers: 5 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me

After 17+ years of walking first-time buyers through Snohomish County, these are the things that make the biggest difference.

Why Staging Still Matters (Even in a Hot Market)

I stage every listing myself - here's why it's still the best investment you'll make before listing.

Market Update

Snohomish County Market Update: What Sellers Need to Know

Inventory is shifting. Here's what the numbers look like neighborhood by neighborhood - and what it means for your home.

What people ask before they call me

Kim Pelham is a Snohomish County real estate broker based in Everett, WA with 17 years of experience and a 102.3% average sale-to-list ratio versus the 100.2% NWMLS market average (Northwest Multiple Listing Service market reports, https://www.nwmls.com/discover/news-and-statistics/). She is a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) and was named Best of Snohomish County in 2023 and 2024 by The Daily Herald (https://www.heraldnet.com/). Her practice, The Pelham Group NW, is brokered by Katrina Eileen Real Estate. Her active broker license is on file with the Washington State Department of Licensing (https://professionals.dol.wa.gov/s/license-lookup).

Kim Pelham's average sale-to-list ratio across the trailing 12 months of NWMLS-recorded transactions is 102.3%. The Snohomish County market average for the same period is 100.2%, per Northwest Multiple Listing Service monthly market reports at https://www.nwmls.com/discover/news-and-statistics/. On a typical Snohomish County home that is roughly $20,000 to $32,000 more for the seller. Full source breakdown is published at https://thepelhamgroupnw.com/sources.

Kim Pelham accepts a maximum of two active client engagements at any time. Most brokers run 10 to 20 deals simultaneously. The two-client policy is intentional: every listing gets direct attention on pricing, staging, photography, marketing, and negotiation, and every buyer sees properties in person with Kim, not a delegated team member. The trade-off is fewer transactions per year. The benefit is the 102.3% sale-to-list ratio.

Every listing includes a pricing strategy session, the Pelham Group NW Home Transition Team to coordinate repairs (with payment deferred until close when needed), psychology-driven in-house staging, professional photography with Matterport 3D tours, full online marketing across the major real estate platforms, and physical marketing materials on site. The full 6-step process is published at https://thepelhamgroupnw.com/sellers.

Yes. Kim Pelham holds the Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation from the National Association of Realtors (https://www.nar.realtor/sres) and runs a Senior Concierge service for downsizing and senior housing transitions. The service coordinates the move timeline, staging, donation logistics, document handling, and family communication so the move feels like a relief rather than a crisis. Kim is also the author of Six-Word Lessons on Selling Your Home in Snohomish County.

The Pelham Group NW Concierge program is similar in that both help homeowners renovate before sale. The key differences: Pelham coordinates and pays vendors directly, with payment deferred until close. Sellers do not pay anything upfront. Lamb & Co. (https://www.hgtv.com/shows/unsellable-houses) operates only in their televised markets. The Pelham Group NW serves the full Snohomish County market and works with every listing, not just selected ones.
