Kyle has promised that she can sell "Any House But the White House," Well, the truth is she found us a beautiful white house (with gray trim) for our family and we are eternally grateful to her for the hard work and money she saved us.

I first met Kyle over the phone in California when someone from my husband's new office in Portland suggested she give us a call. We had just received notice that we would be relocating. I had made plane reservations to go up and look for a house though we had no realtor until we heard from Kyle. She set me up with a Mortgage company so our financing was in place before I even got there.

Upon arrival we met with the Mortgage company and they informed me that because I was self- employed, they couldn't approve us for as big a loan as we had hoped, my heart sunk. Kyle stayed very optimistic and went back to her computer to find homes in the new price range. We went out to look that evening. I felt like since I had only four days to look, I had to be open to the idea of finding a rental and continuing the search once we moved. "If an angel isn't sitting on the stairs, I'm not buying it," I said. Kyle assured me that we would find the house.

There were several nice homes to choose from, but when we drove up to the last house, I fell in love. We walked through the door and I couldn't help but smile. Kyle turned to me and said, "I think I see your angel sitting on the stairs."

Still cautious, I told her I would have to talk to my husband and let her know in the morning. The more I thought about it the more I knew that it was the house for our family. My husband told me to "go for it". Because we were moving in just one month, we needed a quick escrow. We made the offer and it turned out that the family living there needed a quick escrow too. Everything was falling into place, just as it always does when something is meant to be.

I returned to Los Angeles, my home, and left the work to be done in Portland, up to Kyle. She met the inspector, negotiated repairs over the telephone, kept in touch with the Mortgage company, the other realtor representing the Seller and us. We sent the signed escrow papers then loaded up the truck and started our three day journey to the Northwest. In the meantime, escrow was supposed to close. Having no way to contact us, Kyle took the bull by the horns to make sure everything was complete. She had our keys and Hershey Kissess roses when we arrived. If it weren't for Kyle, it wouldn't have been easy. With all the other hassles of relocation, it was comforting to know we had an "angel on our side" taking care of us.

Sincerely,
The Petrowsky Family
