After finding himself tired of the traveling for business, Max Rombakh, managing broker at the Yarrow Bay office of Windermere Real Estate/East, began his nearly two-decade-long career to focus his energy on his local area. From short sales to the luxury market, Rombakh has never faced a market shift to which he couldn’t adjust his business style. “Feeling the market shift made me realize I had to be flexible,” he says. “Between knocking on doors to sell papers and working with my dad in the mortgage business, I’m ready for anything.”

As the top broker in Kirkland, Rombakh has insider knowledge on listings that aren’t even on the market, which gives his clients a significant advantage whether they are buying or selling. “Between our expert knowledge of the market and our concierge-level service, we’re able to provide a stress-free experience throughout the entire process,” he proclaims.

With exceptional networking skills, Rombakh remains connected to every corner of the community he serves. Always able to develop a strong connection to his clients, he is able to garner a majority of his business through past-client referrals. “My business style is all about the personal connection and relationship,” he says. “I’m always striving to over-deliver on client expectations.”

Outside of the office, Rombakh enjoys a variety of outdoor activities such as golf, tennis, boating and traveling. He is also very active in the community, volunteering to help benefit underprivileged children and families, as well as donating a portion of every closing to the Windermere foundation and supporting the Kirkland Arts Center. Above all, though, he loves spending time with his family, regardless of the activity.
