Kim Grinolds I fought in Vietnam and in the Gulf War. I have led many soldiers into battle, but Kim is the real hero. He told my wife and I that our new home would be "special" and that it would just feel "different" from our previous homes. He ended up losing some great listings to the good real estate agents, but he ended up finding us a two bedroom duplex within walking distance of a mini mall. There mini mall even has a Jimmy Johns! The duplex isn´t great, but I´m giving it more time until I furnish the 30 square foot basement so I can have a place to eat Hot Pockets and wear sweatpants. Is there anything you wish Kim Grinolds did differently? His lemon parties were kind of odd. How did the agent help in finding the right property for you? Great How did the agent help to get a good price for you? The steak wasn't that great, but it did sizzle. - USRiverine (Bought a home with Kim Grinolds in 2014 in Maple Valley, WA

Sven's $20 to the first one who does a quality review by Johnny DuRocher.
I'll take that $20 now.
It sure was interesting, until it wasn´t...
First met Kim at the 7-11 on Aurora in the U-District. He was buying nachos for a "friend," and I was after bananas. When we met, and I had my hand firmly around that banana, Kim said we were kindred spirits, whatever that means.
I mentioned I wanted to buy a condo, and Kim gave me a flyer showing he was a big time Real Estate Agent. Odd since it only showed a picture of a lawn gnome with a huge football, but whatever. Anyway, I decided to trust him, because he seemed to know a lot of influential people. He name dropped all the time. Like Jerry Sandusky.
So, Kim began calling me to set up showings. He would take me to areas I didn´t ask to go to, and show me places I didn´t even like. It was okay the first 23 times, but then it got old. I also noticed that all the places he took me were either near his place, or a weird building named NAMBLA, whatever that means. Everyone always wore sweatpants there. Odd.
Toward the end, his life partner Chris kept showing up with him. I thought this was pretty unprofessional, and well, gross. Have you seen Chris?
I finally realized Kim was never going to sell me what I wanted. It was like he wasn´t even trying. He took me to the Butler Cabin on our last meeting, and I knew I was done.
He tries hard, but just can´t ever quite get it right. Lots of sizzle, but very little steak.
Does the agent seem knowledgeable and experienced? Somewhat
Has the agent been responsive to your communications? Yes, almost like a stalker.

At this point I fucking lost it and couldn't stop laughing throughout the rest of the post.
Looks like Mark (but how was he a bad president????) Emmert has chimed in. Kudos to whoever did this, and for this person and Swaye for getting the rating system right. Not very helpful My life partner Scott and I met with Kim to find a perfect home for us to settle down in. Kim discussed a new way of doing real estate where I if we paid $10.95 a month, we would get to see secret listings that no one else sees. We decided to give it a try. We soon discovered that the secret listings were not all that great. Most of the home sellers in the listings were not actually looking to sell their homes. The other "secret" listings could also be found in the Seattle Times real estate section for free. The deal breaker for us is when we went to visit a home of a false listing, the owner was there. The owner told us to leave and Kim went on a tirade and called the owner an idiot. It was an embarrassment for my husband Scott and I..

Also on the Krisvashon one whoever posted that how do you not give the people her great singing lessons?
God damn this guy is a fucking joke. No wonder he looks like a raging alcoholic in every pic he posts.

I'm assuming this was RoadDawg. Well done. YBE
It reminds me of the time Sven poasted on Brents' online obituary. Tees&Pees
Well done folks.
Made me laugh out loud.
If Race Bannon were still alive he'd be up for it too.
Someone needs to do a Bleenor one. Also guys like DNC said give that fucker a 1 star rating.
