Seattle Real Estate Professional
Amy Kizaki
Amy Kizaki first came to real estate through her family, working with her mother and another senior Buyer Tours agent while still in high school in Bellingham. By previewing, photographing and showcasing properties, doing extensive searches, and learning to deeply understand a buyer's needs and how that translates into a successful search for properties, Amy was well along the path to being an agent before she graduated from high school! Backed up by her natural technological know-how, her abilities soon made her highly productive in every aspect of the job she undertook. She took on the duties of transaction coordination which gave her an intimate knowledge of the legal aspects of the purchase, the lending and escrow process, and how to avoid what can go wrong, as well as to communicate with everyone involved in a real estate transaction with utmost efficiency. She got her license to work as an assistant but was so knowledgeable and powerful at meeting her clients' criteria and goals that she quickly became a full fledged agent. Her friendly nature and straightforward high energy approach make her friends quickly, and she is now ranked second in the office in sales productivity, a result of her ability to get what her clients want and give them a great purchase experience in the process. Talk about a "real estate natural"! You're in good hands, whether you want a knowledgeable guide to support you in your search or someone who can explain and facilitate every aspect of the real estate process you are about to undertake. According to Amy, it's not about selling you a house, it's about finding you a home. In her free time Amy likes to run, work out at the gym, and visit local recreation spots (she enjoys snowboarding), as well as spend time in Seattle and Vancouver, BC, the two world-class cities each within 90 minutes drive from Bellingham. A talented artist, she enjoys oil painting and photography, and lives in a natural setting within 5 minutes walk of beautiful Lake Whatcom with her rag doll cat, Coco.

Night Boarding in Stevens Pass!

For Sale By Owner
Are You Sure You Want to Buy, or Sell, FSBO (For Sale by Owner)? Ask yourself if it’s worth the risk.. During the summer of 2008, I had a client contact me to let me know he decided to pursue a home purchase being offered “FSBO,” otherwise known as ‘For Sale By Owner.’ Of course I didn’t take this as the best of news. I responded by saying I respect whatever decision... [Read more]
