Vince Himlie at Windermere Shelton turned out to be a very shrewd and clever operator My real estate agent was convinced we had solved a problem with my loan near the end of a long and difficult escrow on one of Vince’s listings and that the sale would now go through. Vince had been somewhat vague and not very forthcoming the last few critical days leading up to the close, but we still felt quite confident on the last day of escrow when he agreed to accept a filing asking for a bit more time. We had disclosed in detail with him the glitch we had just resolved and had every reason to believe he would grant the request. The next day I got a surprise call from my agent stating our deal had fallen apart and that the home had been sold to someone else. It seems that Vince had lined up his own buyer and had intended to sell the home to this buyer for some time. By not disclosing his true intentions and distracting us with a bogus filing on that last day, he precluded any possibility of my settling and saving the home with my own cash. His last minute timing was clearly intentional and had a devastating effect. He was able to inform my agent the very next morning that it was too late for us to do anything in that he already had a signed contract. He also possibly cashed in with a much larger sales commission. I believe Vince Himlie’s actions were calculated, misleading, even cold hearted, especially with my agent having had many candid face to face meetings with him. He was also quite aware that my agent had months of hard work and a large commission at stake. He apparently had no qualms about snatching all this away. I should mention the home we lost was a one in a million gem that had taken nearly a year to find. I was heartbroken and also furious at having been blindsided and deceived in such a manner. There was also a strong sense of betrayal. Vince, with his vast experience in real estate, had generally conveyed a tone of understanding and helpfulness. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My response to Mr. Himleys reply.... Mr. Himley, it was you and not the seller’s that over the course of several months had dozens of phone conversations and multiple eye to eye consultations with my agent. There were so many opportunities to set him straight and tell the truth about the plans to sell the house to a back up buyer if we failed settle on time. Apparently, you even felt the need to occupy and sidetrack us with that extension charade on the very last day. Clearly, you were not taking any chances on having your plans being foiled last minute. You were determined to seal the deal for your own buyers and double up on your sales commissions. The sellers had nothing to do with any of these shenanigans. It was the work of a very friendly, and also a very slick salesmen, someone that had masterfully won over our complete trust.

I purchased my home with Windermere when relocating from California to Washington. I was very impressed with both my agent and his support staff. Our transaction progressed smoothly and we where kept informed throughout the entire process. This is the largest brokerage in the area and I came to work for them once we where settled and I was ready to get back to selling real estate. I am beyond pleased with the quality of agents I work with and knowing they go above and beyond what their clients need and expect.

Tracey McGlothlin of Windemere, Shelton WA, is the most professional, and patient Real Estate Agent that we have found. We tried several other agents throughout the Pacific Northwest before working with Tracey and found that she lives up to her excellent reputation.
