The Windermere Foundation

The Mission

For the past 31 years, the Windermere Foundation has donated a portion of the proceeds from every home purchased or sold using a Windermere agent towards supporting low-income and homeless families in our communities. What started in 1989 as a grassroots foundation serving families in need in  Washington State, has grown to encompass ten states and has raised over $41 million for programs and organizations that provide shelter, food, children’s programs, emergency assistance, and other services to those who need our help most.

TESTIMONIALS

Lynn Sanborn did a tremendous job helping us sell and buy a house in a challenging environment. She was extremely patient and made certain that we had the best transaction possible on both ends of our real estate transactions.

~ Mike Warga - Owner/Investment Manager at Warga Asset Management

I have known Lynn and her work in real estate for close to 20 years. Simply put, Lynn knows the market - -based upon that knowledge and experience, Lynn provides sage and practical advice as to strategy, approach, and execution. Lynn gave me the much needed advantage to prevail over another bidder to purchase my first home several years ago. Over the years, Lynn has consistently demonstrated a commitment to her clients to go the extra mile to get the job done. I whole-heartedly recommend her work to anyone needing someone with her skillset.

~ Vanessa Lee, Seattle

Thank you Lynn Sanborn for all you've done for me, my family/ friends and others you have successfully helped in buying and selling their homes. We all brag about you. At times we actually go back and forth about who you must like more because of the attention you give to each of our projects. You make every one of us feel like we're your only client. I don't have the heart to tell them that you love me best 😉 Thanks Lynn.

~ Karen Shepard, Simply Chiropractic

My husband and I have bought and sold several pieces of property over the years. Lynn was our broker on the sale of our former home and the purchase of our present home in Kirkland. As far as I am concerned, Lynn has definitely raised the bar for real estate brokers. She was there for us every step of the way and exceeded our expectations at every turn. I can't wait to refer her to someone who needs a great agent. I know they will thank me!
