Ken Griswold is a successful real estate agent, too?

Looks like Mark (but how was he a bad president????) Emmert has chimed in. Kudos to whoever did this, and for this person and Swaye for getting the rating system right.

My life partner Scott and I met with Kim to find a perfect home for us to settle down in.
Kim discussed a new way of doing real estate where I if we paid $10.95 a month, we would get to see secret listings that no one else sees. We decided to give it a try. We soon discovered that the secret listings were not all that great. Most of the home sellers in the listings were not actually looking to sell their homes. The other "secret" listings could also be found in the Seattle Times real estate section for free. The deal breaker for us is when we went to visit a home of a false listing, the owner was there. The owner told us to leave and Kim went on a tirade and called the owner an idiot. It was an embarrassment for my husband Scott and I..
 
I gave it a shot on Romar

not his best effort

I was told by my friends Joe, Artem, Mike, and Gilles that there was no better real estate agent in the biz than Kim. We talked for a long period of time about expectations and locations of my new place, and he sounded like he knew what he was talking about.

He directed me to a few houses on Capital Hill, his very favorite place to visit with his buddies Kim and Scott in the greater Seattle area. After a few showings I spotted my dream home. We made a competitive offer but unfortunately the home was a little over my budget. We made one more attempt at another home in that same area, but to no avail.
The mistake was Kim insisted on going after the cream of the crop but because of the pricing we came in second place on both homes. However after striking out on both homes, all of the other homes I wanted were off the market, so I still had no home.
In a long discussion on whether or not we should part ways Kim informed me coming in 2nd was actually a good thing because it gave us free pub. He also said I´m lucky he even consults with me at all and that he just needs more time to switch up his home buying strategy. He also said I didn´t really want those homes anyway as there are now a bumper crop coming onto the market. When I still wasn´t buying what he was selling he reccomended I take a long walk on Alki Beach with my wife so I could gain some much needed perspective. Unfortunately that walk never happened and we decided to part ways after all.

You forgot "even though we knew what we put into our offer might not be enough, we repeatedly thought the fact I grew up with all these top rated homes fathers was going to make the difference and put our offer over the top", but otherwise, kudos.

You have to really be creative to write an entire review from the future while somehow suspending disbelief that you didn't already know the outcome with Kim was going to be a complete cluster fuck.
 
I found this interesting and perhaps, relevant.

A few not so subtle differences here to wrap your head around.

1) This watchmaker seems to give a fuck about his business, and has a brick and mortar store. Kim mailed it in on the old real estate career years ago.

2) The watchmaker can claim the reviews are hurting his business. What the fuck business does Kim even have anymore?

3) Good luck with any lawsuit claiming defamation on the internet over services rendered. He said, she said. And what's Kim going to do, go after Sark, Peterman, or Durocher?
