Longtime Eastside Realtor Kathy Shumaker has been named manager of Brazen Sotheby’s International Realty Bellevue Main Street office.

Shumaker, a 15-year residential real estate veteran, previously served as a manager of Coldwell Banker Bain Associate’s Mercer Island office and an agent in the company’s Redmond office.
