Make those BIG Dreams a reality!

Here is a little bit about me.

My name is Kari Kollmeyer (Marshlain). I have lived in the Chelan Valley for over 32 years. I graduated from Chelan High School in 2002 and went on to working full-time at Wapato Point Resort as the Recreation Director. There I stayed for 3 years, until I landed a great job at North Cascades Bank, where I stayed for 3 years before deciding I wanted to finish my college education. I completed my AA Transfer Degree with Wenatchee Valley College. And then went to work for Cashmere Valley Bank as a CSR. In this time frame, I had a beautiful baby boy with my husband, Ben. I wanted to spend all my time with my baby, so I decided I would jump into the real estate market. My husband was a home designer/builder, so we decided to build spec homes and sell them. It was an adventure and allowed me to be with my son. Now fast forward, I am going into my 9^th year of real estate in the Chelan Valley. And we have grown our family. We have a beautiful 4-year-old daughter who keeps us on our toes.

Real estate has always been more to me than just buying and selling. I enjoy the design aspect of homes, as I have done some interior design work over my course as a Realtor. I enjoy helping buyers create a vision when they walk into a home. And I enjoy staging a listing for a seller, to maximize their selling potential. Bare land is exciting, as there are so many potentials for building the home of your dreams!

Though my husband no longer designs/builds homes, I am still in the industry paving a way for myself that sets me apart from the many wonderful Realtors and Brokers in this valley.

My work in the customer service industry has really shaped who I am and how I represent myself in my community. I may be an old school Goat, but I am always willing to make deep connections with new folks in the area wanting to make a better life for themselves and their families.
