Congrats on Your New Home, Michael Ruffin! – Homes Sold in Kitsap County WA

December 11th, 2012 by Rich Jacobson

Congratulations on my valued Buyer Client, Michael Ruffin, in the successful closing of his new home in Bremerton WA.

Homes-for-sale-in-bremerton-wa

One of the main things that makes my job as a professional real estate broker so fun and rewarding is working with people like Michael Ruffin. We hit a few bumps in the road during the course of this transaction, but Michael was a trooper and hung in there! In the end, he got a really good deal on a nicely remodeled home!

A special word of thanks to Melanie Rowe, Branch Manager of Republic Mortgage in Silverdale WA, for orchestrating a very smooth financing process, in spite of some last minute VA appraiser hoop jumping!

And to Julie Goodwin and the team at Pacific Northwest Title & Escrow in Silverdale WA for their usual highly thorough job well done!
