Tim Conway, Managing Broker 

Kim Florence, Broker

Realtors Tim Conway and Kim Florence formed a partnership this year at John L. Scott Real Estate on Mercer Island, blending old-school and new techniques to help clients achieve their goals. Florence, a broker for the agency, believes that knowledge is power in the real estate industry. She and Conway share a passion for informing their clients about comps, local schools and new businesses coming to downtown areas.

As a managing broker at the firm, Conway offers more than 40 years of local knowledge and negotiation experience selling homes on Mercer Island and the Eastside of Lake Washington. A Seattle native and Stanford University graduate, he has lived on Mercer Island since 1983 and has owned and managed investment properties throughout the area for even longer.

This past year, Conway sold a lakefront property in Medina that was a teardown for just under $10 million. Friendly and easy to work with, he believes that real estate transactions are a process and should be fun. He is a recipient of the Lifetime Top 1% Award from John L. Scott Real Estate and has successfully brokered over $500 million in sales.

Florence has worked in three different markets: the hyper-competitive Bay Area, Colorado and now Washington. This experience allows her to apply real estate practices common in one market but not as frequently used in others, helping to differentiate listings and buyer strategies.

“I’m all in for my clients, and they know it,” Florence reports. With 12 years of experience selling real estate, her clients are her top priority. For example, she recently listed a home for a seller in extenuating circumstances while on vacation in Paris.
