Patricia C. | Downsizing to a single story home
"Having Colleen Thorsen as my Realtor was a pleasure. She was efficient, hard working, and always available when needed. She handled both the sale of my former home which was sold for full price at an open house she arranged, and the purchase of my new one in Kingston which wouldn’t have happened if she hadn't been willing to put a deal together expediently. I feel she was a gift and I was lucky to have found her.”

Lucy B. | Selling a Whidbey Island vacation home
"We listed our vacation home with Colleen while it was occupied with a renter. She did a great job coordinating with our property manager, the tenants and all the vendors while the property was on the market. The other obstacle was we live out of the area so we really appreciated her being available for whatever issues came up. She was dependable and pleasant to work with. She was always prompt and invaluable to the successful sale of our property. I would definitely recommend Colleen Thorsen to anyone selling or purchasing a home.”

I would highly recommend her services."

Alexis Y. | Buying a vacation home on Camano Island
"I felt comfortable and confident with Colleen as my agent because she communicated with me throughout the process and came up with strategies that I didn't know existed to secure the property of my dreams. Her lovely attitude, professionalism, general awareness of the market and natural ability to work well with others sets her apart. Use Colleen if you are so lucky!!"

Eric T. | Downsizing from a large home
"During the selling process I’ve been genuinely impressed with Colleen’s professionalism.
Selling your home isn't easy when you're downsizing after many years. Colleen’s strategy was strong – she developed a pricing plan based on the market, created a detailed marketing campaign, and coordinated beautiful staging that highlighted the best features to make sure buyers had an exceptional first impression.
The open houses were really well attended, and the feedback from buyers and agents has been overwhelmingly positive. Watching the amount of preparation behind the scenes gave me a greater appreciation for the work a great Realtor does—there is far more involved than most people ever see.
If you're looking for an agent who is organized, hardworking, knowledgeable, and truly invested in getting the best possible outcome, I highly recommend Colleen, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone thinking about selling."
