Find the Best Yelm, WA REALTOR on RealEstateAgents.com

When I got into real estate in 2003, it was easy. There were so few Realtors and so many people buying and selling. Here I was, a brand-new agent and selling homes left and right. After only a few years of this, I had an assistant, a stay-at-home wife and a 1-year-old. We felt on top of the world. Then 2007 happened and the bottom fell out. The housing market I had come to rely on was in shambles. Overnight, my income took an 80% pay cut. During this time, we accumulated over $100,000 in credit card debt. We were expecting our second child and I was freaked out! A few years later, my marriage started going downhill. It went from bad to worse. It wasn’t easy, but we were able to save our finances by paying off all the debt. We were not as successful with the marriage. After years of individual and couples therapy, we separated and fully divorced a few years ago. I’ve learned a lot about myself. With all that under my belt, I learned how to have real conversations with clients.

Since 2009, Garrett Lafferty has worked in real estate, helping hundreds of families find their forever homes. He specializes in single-family homes, but is also familiar with selling and buying condos, townhomes, manufactured homes, duplexes and multi-family homes. His work covers five counties, but he is based in downtown Olympia and mostly specializes in Thurston County. So far in his career Garrett has sold over $150 million in homes. Garrett’s expertise sets him apart from the competition and he prides himself on the focused attention he gives to each of his clients, whether they are selling or buying. He gets a thrill when he is able to contact Seller clients and tell them there are multiple offers on their home. Similarly, he also loves calling Buyer clients to tell them their offer was accepted, and that sometimes their offer beat out two, four, eight, or even 10 other offers! (His record is 21 :)

I have been a successful real estate agent for over 30 years here at Coldwell Banker. Having helped hundreds of buyers and sellers over my career I attribute much of that from the mission statement I wrote upon becoming a real estate agent. Always make the needs of your clients the number one priority, above all else, and go to whatever lengths necessary to assure you are doing the best job possible for your clients. If you are going to be buying or selling give me a call and we can see how I can help with your real estate needs. Thanks in advance, Bob Jorgenson
