After living in Northwest Washington for 37 years, including 4 on Whidbey in the 70's, we knew the territory and what we wanted in this stage of life, family and ministry. With our modest amount of experience in selling, buying, and building, we had the neighborhood and a home scoped out! Even so, we needed a local buyer's agent who could do the leg work, give us honest, accurate advice regarding current local realty trends, and be our advocate.
With Pamela we found an experienced, professional Realtor who filled those needs. She listened to us and offered suggestions but was never pushy. She put up with a myriad of inconvenient, picayune questions for information and detail, and was a consistently strong advocate for us. Responsive to all our requests, Pamela adapted her schedule to ours as needed, answered all our questions, helped with the septic inspection, measured, inspected, and did the final walk through for us without hesitation. We felt she was really looking out for our interests. We highly and confidently recommend Pamela Hill to anyone needing an outstanding Whidbey Realtor.
We knew no one on Whidbey involved in real estate, but saw some interesting homes for sale as we drove around Coupeville. When driving down one street in town we noticed the Whidbey View Homes office and decided to check it out. Though we had no appointment and just walked in off the street, Pamela introduced herself and graciously offered to contact homeowners and showed us homes that very afternoon. A few weeks later on another trip to the island, Pamela showed us the home we eventually purchased.
Pamela thoroughly explained and handled all the paper work, advised on the title company, recommended an independent home inspector, and helped us to arrive at a fair home value and purchase agreement for our new Whidbey home. From initial offer to closing, the process took only 13 days! We think that's a record for a mortgage purchase. It would not have happened without Pamela's diligence, market knowledge, working with our lender, and strict attention to detail. We are happy with our new home and we would definitely choose Pamela again as our real estate broker.
"Skip and I would like to express our admiration and appreciation for the professional manner with which you handled our real estate transaction from the initial interview to the final closing.
We are particularly impressed with your expertise and knowledge of the market and, the outstanding manner with which you presented our property. We are gratified by your perseverance, advice, and encouragement. It has been our pleasure to conduct this business with you."
"My wife and I just received the keys for our new homestead! We started and ended the process with Pamela Hill at Whidbey View Homes. The WVH website was the most comprehensive and easy to use website we found in our search for a Whidbey Island property. We engaged Pamela to view the home we thought best fit out needs and, wow, we are now in! Pamela was outstanding every step of the way -- her knowledge of the island, business relationships on the island, overall experience and an honest, caring, approach while leading us through each step of the process made this one of the easiest, and best, real estate purchases we've ever made. Thank you Pamela."
"Pamela is the most competent and knowledgeable realtor with whom we have ever worked. She advertised our property to a wide audience and kept us up to date with a monthly letter describing potential buyer comments, market stats and more.
She truly is one of the most organized, professional women we know and thank her for selling our home during such a difficult market."
"I want to thank you for your terrific customer service, support and professionalism in representing our family trust. Although the new and far more demanding real estate processes seemed insurmountable at times, you persevered, maintained your professional decorum and successfully sold our house at the price we wanted. Equally impressive was the brief window you effected the sale within, especially when viewed in this sluggish and unpredictable market. Not only was it a pleasure doing business with Whidbey View Homes, you exceeded the already high expectations of all 9 trustees. A million thanks from our clan!"

"Thank you for the excellent service and support your provided us in helping to secure our future home on Whidbey Island. Your familiarity with the area, work ethic, and shear ability to move things through road blocks is the only reason we were able to make this dream happen. As advice to others, we would highly recommend Pamela Hill-Keeva as a realtor who knows the realty business well and how to get things done. Hind sight being 20/20, the only thing that did not go smoothly was our mortgage lender, a large credit union that is unique and well known to the Seattle area. Pamela, your experience with trusted parties ranging from inspectors to escrow really made things run smoothly. If we were to do it all over again, we would have gone with a mortgage broker of your recommendation because everyone else to whom you guided us did a fantastic job.
This testimonial was extra challenging for us because we live overseas and were not able to attend anything in person. With the right people, anything is possible. You were the right person for us."
"When considering our move from California to be closer to relatives in Seattle, we first turned to the Internet (I am a college instructor who teaches computer and Internet-related courses.) Of ALL the websites featuring Whidbey Island properties, yours was by far the easiest to use, best-designed, fastest loading, and most complete. As if that wasn't enough, we got to work with you -- an honest, energetic, informed, positive individual. You and your website made finding and buying our home on Whidbey Island a memorable experience. Thank you so much."

"As a retired psychologist who worked with people traumatized by war, natural disasters and violent crimes, I wanted to find a peaceful place through a peaceful process, so I could retire, yet continue our family's charity, Operation TeddyCare. Whidbey Island provided that peaceful place and you, Pamela, kept the whole process peaceful for us, while you worked endlessly on our behalf. The symbol of the Marine Corps is the bulldog, because it is so tenacious. I know you are partial to Corgis, but I think if you ever adopt a symbol for your realty company, it should be a bulldog."
