About Geordie Romer

Leavenworth Real Estate Professional

I am a Washington native, born in Seattle and raised in Olympia. I am a graduate of Middlebury College in Vermont where I earned a B.A. in Environmental Studies and Political Science.

Why Work With Me?:
Prior to real estate I spent nearly a decade as a park ranger in our National Parks. My work included law enforcement, search and rescue, emergency medicine, and wildland firefighting. The values of trust, team work, and determination are ones I bring with me to real estate.

I am one of only a dozen of real estate agents in the Wenatchee Valley to earn the coveted Certified Residential Specialist designation from the Council of Residential Specialists.  Only 4% of Realtors nationwide hold the designation which requires numerous advanced real estate classes and requires real world sales experience. The CRS Designation is often known as the Phd. of real estate. It’s not surprising that these 4% handle 25% of all residential transactions in the United States.

I have also earned the e-PRO designation from the National Association of REALTORS and am the only Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist in Chelan or Douglas Counties.

Much of my experience and expertise is in internet marketing. I have been blogging about Leavenworth’s real estate market and trends for since 2005 (previously at MyLeavenworth.com). I am featured writer for the Seattle PI on their real estate professionals blog. In 2008, I was nominated as one of the most Tech Savvy Businesses of the Year by the Greater Wenatchee Area Technology Alliance.  I am always looking for ways to help my customers through the use of technology – whether that means using social media like Twitter or by creating videos and virtual tours to give buyers a better look at local homes.

In 2006 my peers named me to the Board of Directors for the North Central Washington Association of Realtors where I served as the Director for Governmental Affairs for Chelan County. I have also served on the MLS committee.

Outside Interests:
I enjoy getting out in the mountains around Leavenworth in any way I can. I am an active climber, telemark and crosscountry skier, and hiker. Recent exotic trips to the mountains include visits to the Canadian Rockies and to the Bolivian Andes. Once upon a time I was a competitive cyclist and coached a youth team in Olympia.  I also do some freelance journalism as time allows. I have had short articles published in Alpinist, Rock and Ice, High Country News, and Wild Earth magazines.

What our clients are saying about Geordie:

“In the Real Estate industry, I see a lot of agents who are content to sit and wait for the phone to ring. Geordie outworks them all; he aggressively markets the homes and properties for his clients and does extensive market research to assist both his buyers and sellers. Geordie also stays on top of his transactions to ensure that all the players are doing their part. Anyone buying or selling Real Estate in his market should seek out Geordie first.”

“Geordie helped me with my long distance real-estate search for vacation property in the Leavenworth area. He was knowledgeable and prompt. I have since recommended him to others and I would use his services again. I enjoy staying in touch with the area and market via his web site and blog”

“We hired Geordie to assist in our search for a vacation property in Leavenworth, WA. Because we did not live in the area, it was great to have someone reliable in our corner, who was looking out for us as new properties came on the market. He’s very knowledgeable of the area and could readily provide feedback on available properties and suggest properties that may be of interest to us. I would gladly recommend Geordie to others seeking real estate in the Leavenworth/Lake Wenatchee area”

“Geordie was a great help to us in purchasing our second home. Even though we were 100 miles away, he made the whole process go smoothly. We love our cabin on Fish Lake and thank Geordie for helping us with the process.”

“Geordie was a pleasure to work with. He showed us a variety of property so we would understand what was on the market. If he was not available for us he made sure someone else from his office was there to help. He was very knowledgeable about all he had to offer for us and if we saw something when we were out and about he made sure he found out any info he could about it.”

“Last year my husband and I sold our property in Leavenworth. Even though we now live in New Mexico and had to conduct all transactions by phone, fax and mail, Geordie made it a seamless process. We were kept informed consistently what the status of the sale was and wish to thank him for making the ‘selling experience’ painless.”

“Geordie was a pleasure to work with. He has an excellent feel for market conditions and always took the time to help us out and answer our questions. We were very pleased with how quickly and painlessly our house sold.”

“Two things come to mind that impressed me about my experience with Geordie. First, his professionalism and willingness to admit that he doesn’t have the answers, but then to seek them out. Second, his diligence is what I believe found us the house we are now in. When it came back on the market, it was due to Geordie’s watchful eye that we were able to see it and put an offer in right away.”

“The best aspect of Geordie’s representation of our real estate deal was how well he handled the long distance aspects of the process. We live two hours away from the home we purchased, and all of the communication and signing of necessary papers was handled by Geordie efficiently and professionally.  We highly recommend him to anyone locally or long distance, and we recommend him to our friends who remotely express an interest in the Leavenworth, Cashmere, Wenatchee area.”

“Geordie Romer was an excellent agent to work with. He made the purchase of a second home a painless process.  We have not had the pleasure of working with Allyson, but can only think that Geordie with another team member can only be that much more wonderful. Thanks Geordie! We love our Cashmere get-away!”

“I wanted to share some information with you about a residential broker I recently used in Leavenworth area to list and sell some recreational property that I owned. Geordie Romer of Windermere Real Estate in Leavenworth far exceed my expectations in all areas of the transaction. His market survey work was quick and accurate. He had clients looking at the property the same day it was listed and had two full price offers for me to consider the same week. That was not the best part. Over the next few weeks Geordie was able to arrange all necessary work by local vendors, at a fair price and in a timely manner, to insure closing on the selected date. I can whole heartily recommend Geordie and his team in Leavenworth.”

“Geordie is the guy you want if you want top notch Real Estate representation in the Leavenworth/Wenatchee area. Geordie’s knowledge of the market, his ability to market your property and his enthusiasm for giving you the best real estate services are superior to none. If you don’t call Geordie, you didn’t do your homework!”
