Kimberly TurnquistBroker
Kim and her husband Mark, along with their son Max, moved to Yakima in 2002 after moving initially to the Pacific Northwest from Minnesota in 1990. Kim obtained her real estate license first in Salem, OR where she was a licensed assistant and office manager for a small real estate company. In 2002 Kim and family moved to Yakima for her son to be closer to one set of Grandparents and for Kim to go into real estate with her father, Jerry Heyan. Kim has really enjoyed the countless hours she has gotten to spend with her father as they meet new clients/friends and help them with all of their real estate needs. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity that not many people get to take advantage of. Since 2003, Kim has been a Top Company and Top Residential producer for a large real estate company and is working hard at continuing her successes. Pervious to moving to Yakima, Kim worked in the field of Occupational Therapy in Minnesota, Walla Walla, and Salem, Oregon. She attended college while working full time to obtain her Masters Degree from a small college in Orangeburg, NY. Kim enjoys spending time with her family, walking the golf course with her husband and son, watching her son play baseball, playing with her golden retriever, Hagar, and working out in the yard. Kim also enjoys volunteering at her sons school whenever she has a chance. |

Cory BemisRealtor www.CoryBemis.com Throughout my entire life, I have always been interested in markets. I love learning about and understanding everything from how different markets function, to how they are sustained. I've been active in many fields of the investment market from the age of 13. I discovered the Real Estate field at the age of 22 and immediately began educating myself. A few months later, I joined the newly established Creekside Realty where I was granted the opportunity to train under four seasoned Real Estate veterans. I now actively invest in both residential and rental income properties. I returned to Yakima in the summer of 2006 after spending four years in the Seattle area and earning a Bachelor's Degree in Economics from the University of Washington. The diversity of people as well as the four-seasoned agricultural valley of Yakima is just too pleasantly astonishing to keep away from. I'm excited to be part of one of the strongest and most prospering real-estate markets in the Northwest. |

Pati BemisRealtor
We have two children; Cory and Eric Bemis who have helped us with all of our businesses and have been educated in Yakima schools. Cory just recently graduated from University of Washington and currently works with me at Creekside Realty as a commercial realtor. Two other business ventures have been 'Tiques & Toys- a gift shop in Westpark and Bead & Body Co.- also in Westpark. Several of the clubs and groups I have done fund-raising for are Yakima Valley Zonta Club, Jeanine Hedwall Children's Hospital Guild, and Yakima Tennis Club (where I have been the YTC President and am currently on the YTC board). I began my real estate career at the beginning of this year with Creekside Realty and am currently partnered with my sister, Sue Gifford. We represent the valley and the Chinook and White Pass vacation areas. I thoroughly enjoy working in real state and having the opportunity of representing so many great people in the Yakima area. One of the aspects I enjoy is the chance for continuous learning. I believe the Yakima Valley is a wonderful place to live with much growth and opportunity available to anyone based here. |

Murad KhanRealtor
I became a real-estate agent in December of 2005 and since then I have been helping my clients buy and sell real estate. Almost every person that I have worked with in a real estate transaction is a close friend of mine now because I don't just believe in business but in building relationships that last a lifetime. My extensive and diverse cultural background helps me understand the needs of my clients much better then most. I love to farm, grow fruits, vegetables, raise beef and dairy cattle. I am a huge fan and big time supporter of American farmers and land owners. I also speak 5 different languages. They include English, Urdu, Hindi, Pushtu, Punjabi, and of course a little bit of Spanish (I'm still learning)! Please contact me if you are looking to buy or sell or even if you want to explore what the beautifully sunny Yakima Valley has to offer in property real estate. |

Ray LeistRealtor
My family is my fun time, enjoying all aspects of the outdoors, hunting, horseback riding, fishing and camping. My two sons Trevor & Tyler are some of my greatest accomplishments. I ended up here in Yakima Valley about 1973 and was raised in Gleed, and graduated from Naches High School. My wife Rolonda is not only supportive, but also keeps me motivated and understands that being a Realtor is not only what I love, but what I live and helping people to pursue their dreams, whether it’s for the first time home buyer, couple who’ve outgrown their current home or the investor looking to the future is very rewarding. My contribution and hands on experience with not only building five homes, but being on the other side of the fence as a seller gives me the confidence, empathy and determination to see that my clients, whether it’s buying or selling get the best representation needed from beginning to end. The job does not end just because the day does and I look forward to the many new friends I have and will meet. |

Susan LockbeamRealtor
I started at Creekside Realty in August of 2007. I love Real Estate and enjoy coming to work everyday! Working with buyers and seeing that look on their face when we find the perfect home together is so very rewarding to me. Not to mention bringing an offer to my sellers that is exactly what they were hoping for- that is what I live for. Everyday is new and exciting! |
