Windermere Advantage

The Home Team Advantage

True Local Expertise

Craig and his team have intentionally paired their real estate business with the Windermere brand. This is because like Craig, Windermere is Northwest born and raised. Founded in Seattle five decades ago, Windermere has grown up to be a regional powerhouse, helping clients buy and sell far more homes each year than all other firms. While many Windermere competitors have entered the local market as franchises with headquarters elsewhere, Windermere’s ownership remains locally based and is available to support Craig’s team and clients at the drop of a (Seahawks, Mariners, Storm, Sounders or Kraken) hat. Not only is Windermere the largest local real estate company based on its volume of sales, offices and brokers, it is also intricately involved in the local  communities it serves. With a core commitment to ongoing and unflashy local philanthropy, Windermere gives back to the neighborhoods it operates in. This investment in all things local uniquely matches the mission and philosophy of Gaudry & Associates.

The sign in the yard matters

Windermere Listing Signage

Signage

Just like its yard signs that dot the local landscape, Windermere is deeply rooted and well regarded in every neighborhood of Seattle and the Eastside. This equates to an abiding trust of the Windermere brand by local real estate consumers. So having a Gaudry & Associates sign in your yard has more impact than meets the eye. Beyond this consumer recognition, Windermere is also the name that other brokers trust most. A survey of top-performing NWMLS brokers in King County showed that they are more confident working with brokers from Windermere than from any other real estate company. This means that listings represented by Windermere and the Gaudry team will be taken seriously by buyer’s agents from across the market.

There's no second chance for the perfect first impression.
