Seattle-based Windermere Property Management/JMW has announced its expansion to the Eastside. Windermere Property Management Kirkland is slated to open in October inside the Rose Hill Plaza Building at 12801 NE 85th Street.

“The decision to expand our footprint was in recognition of where much of our management portfolio has grown,” Owner and Broker J. Michael Wilson said.

The new office will initially be staffed by five agents from the firm’s Seattle location who offer extensive Eastside expertise. Christy Rice, Jay LaBrie, Jennie Ugaitafa, Mandy Lane and Christian Dema are long-term Eastside property managers as well as residents.

Wilson believes the Kirkland location will not only accommodate continued growth for the eight-year-old brokerage, but make life easier for existing agents and clients.

“At this point it seems only logical to provide a service base on both sides of Lake Washington,” Wilson said.
