Who is Team Diva?

Kim V. Colaprete – The Real Estate Diva

In 1999, I said goodbye to my non-profit career and became a Realtor at Coldwell Banker Bain. What i brought with me was strong sense of community commitment and my excellent communication and negotiation skills. Working as a Realtor this past decade has shown me every aspect the Seattle market has to offer; from the dot.com busts, to the highs of the real estate boom and now to the tenacity of thriving in a slowing market. Throughout each market change the Diva Fan Club has grown and I count myself lucky to live in such a great city. I am proud to be able to say that I've had a great career thus far, am in the top of tier of my profession and am having the time of my life!

Chavi M. Hohm – Diva Team Member

I recently joined Kim on the Diva Team in one of the most challenging markets the industry has ever seen. Many asked why? And I answered – “I love a deal and with a last name like HOHM – it seems to be my destiny”. Before joining Team Diva I worked in construction and design for Washington Mutual Bank and Starbucks Coffee Company. My main focus was leading large renovation project teams. My time spent working at Starbucks and WaMu taught me that anything can be accomplished if you have the right team behind you.

Kaz J. Maras – Diva Team Member

I am a Seattle native (yes, we do exist), and could not imagine ever leaving this beautiful city. I attended Seattle University for a few years before finishing my Communications degree online through University of Maryland. Although spending most of my life living in north Seattle (Ballard, Greenwood, Wallingford, and Shoreline), I recently bought a house in Columbia City and enjoy exploring the diversity of south Seattle.
