What We Do And Why We Do It:


1) Acquire Real Estate To Build Wealth –  Help our clients get on the property appreciation train – once you can get in the door to start buying property, you have the potential to build tremendous wealth, especially in a strongly appreciating market.

2) Select The Right Home To Create Your Lifestyle – If all of life is a play, and we are all but players, your house is the stage on which your life’s play takes place. Surround yourself with beauty in a home you love, in a location that’s best, and with space for what you want to do.

3) Educate Buyers For Predictable Outcomes – Calm, controlled, and educated buyers feel they understand the process of buying and selling a home, and have the information they need when they need it to make good buying decisions. We don’t “hide the ball” and we don’t try to dazzle you with trade secrets – we want to partner with you and help you feel you are an engaged and informed decision-maker throughout the entire process.

4) Marketing to Pack The House – When we take a listing, it’s not to pad our stats, it to get YOUR HOME SOLD. Our listings get red-carpet treatment, no matter what the price range and we have a system for going above-and-beyond to create publicity and buyer interest for your home. All Homes For Sale will experience “regular” marketing, PLUS all the internet has to offer.  We stay cutting edge with all the marketing we offer home sellers.

5) Be Knowledgeable Experts – You don’t pay us to push paper. You want an advisor to guide you who knows what she is talking about and has the data to back it up. At HomePro Associates, we constantly work to stay informed on market trends. We are actively in the market – doing transactions, previewing homes, talking with buyers and sellers.

6) Making The Market – Had your eye on a neighborhood where nothing’s for sale? Looking for a steal on a home that’s been listed forever? Call us. We are facilitating transactions that might not otherwise take place.  By observing the market, soliciting off-market homes that are not yet for sale, haggling in back-room negotiations with other agents, we are MAKING the market.  We are driving people to list, pricing right, marketing to create buyers and interest, and getting potential-buyers financed who might not be otherwise buying.  

6) Negotiating For The Win – We want win-win transactions where both the buyer and the seller feel like their situations have improved as a result of the real estate sale.  We don’t look at negotiations as things that happen at the EXPENSE of the other parties, we look at them as celebrations of meeting of hearts and minds as the torch of home ownership is passed from one family to the next.

7) Embracing Technology To Streamline Processes and Avoid Mistakes – So many real estate companies say their are online, but fail to fully utilize technology to manage workflows, contract dates, lead-follow-up and  client relationships. To us, technology is not something we embrace for its own sake, but a tool that helps us ensure that we have maximum efficacy and transparency in our in-house work-flows, so we have more time to work with you and reach out to our client-family.

8) Caring Communication – The number one complaint about real estate agents from buyers and sellers is that their agent is not doing a good job of communicating.

When you are in the “lead” stage and haven’t yet chosen to work with us, we still want to know things like how often you want to hear from us, how you like to communicate (email, text, phone) and we even profile the frequency with which our buyers visit our website and look at homes, so we can reach out when tehy’re ready, and not hound them when they’re “just looking.” (Thanks Technology! See Point 7).

Our goal is to strike a balance between letting people know that we are here to help answer their questions (online and at scale, or in a personal one-on-one environment), and promoting our business and successes.  We hope you will feel gently pushed/encouraged when you are ready to fly from the nest.  We never want anyone to feel hounded or badgered to do a deal when they aren’t ready.

Here’s A Little Of What The HomePro Associates Team
Loves Around Town

Lake Forest Park – where I live next door to my parents
Shoreline – where my sister lives and my kids go to school
Lynnwood – where we go to the library, their amazing water slides and indoor pool, and have many professional relationships
Mountlake Terrace – where my kids practice Tae Kwon Do and Gymnastics
Edmonds – where we go to the Dentist, ride the ferry and sun(?) at the Beach
Greenlake – where we love the wading pool and paddle-boats in the summer, and family walks year round
Downtown Seattle – where my husband and mother work
Ballard – where my sister had her first condo, my parents their first real estate apartment building investment and where we can visit the locks and see the salmon run!

There is so much to do and see here – finding the right neighborhood for you is only a matter of taking the time to explore each neighborhood’s unique personality and array of features.

Steal a sneak peak at just some of the fun things you can do and see in-and-around Seattle!

Come Try HomePro Associates Yourself!

Seattle is an amazing area and we’re proud to call it home. (Yes, we actually live in the ‘burbs north of Seattle in Lake Forest Park – but c’mon – no one’s ever heard of our little wooded township outside a 30-mile radius so google-searching friends, Seattle it is!). Because we love living and working here in WA so much, it makes it easy to help local families and investors buy and sell local properties.

Knowing the local Seattle WA real estate market inside and out should be a given for any real estate professional you consider working with. Market knowledge can be the difference between your overpaying for a property or getting a smokin’ deal. When you find the right property – you don’t want to miss out on it. Likewise, you want to be fully-informed on your risks and options before buying a property and it’s important to avoid overlooking critical things during inspections that can cost you.

Our Difference: But where we take it farther is our focus on you having a pleasant experience working with us. In this day and age where so much work is done online, and even a handshake can seem like a scarce commodity, we want to put the human touch back into what we’re doing so you can enjoy life and enjoy your next buying or selling experience with us.

Let us worry about the details.

If you want to chat real estate or even just connect for a quick coffee, reach out to me anytime!

In a nutshell….

The best of high-tech and personal-touch service from a real estate expert who was born and raised in Seattle.

A little bit goofy, a little bit fun, enjoy your real estate transaction and leave the hard parts to us.

New Ownership and Exciting Possibilities! 

After following the Dave Ramsey plan and socking away a breathtaking down payment, John was ready to stop renting and move into a home of his own that was close to work.   This dog-friendly condominium neighborhood is right across the street from a park on the Lake – what a great place to make new friends!

We negotiated to have the seller pay to replace the sliding glass door (which had a blown seal) and worked with the HOA to address some items in the attic.  Glad to see your plans come together so quickly… and we found that beautiful top-floor unit you were hoping for!

Bothell House - Martha Lake
Beautiful Tudor Style Home In Bothell, WA – Martha Lake Neighborhood

Matt and Ana were relocating from Portland to Seattle for a new job and found me through “The Living In Seattle” YouTube Channel.  They were looking for home that would accommodate both their daughters, including one who liked to fix up cars and trucks and really needed a garage.
They came to town several times from Portland to explore different areas and get a feel for what neighborhoods they might like best.

We made a few offers that got beaten by higher bidders, but we didn’t give up.
Eventually we found a wonderful home and made a strong offer with the help of their amazing lender, Austin, who helped them with their financing – knowing they would be able to get the loan so they could waive their contingencies in order to make their offer stronger.  This turned out to be important since we were up against an all-cash-offer. 
They won the house, gave the seller a lease-back and were able to move in at the end of the school year – perfect timing for both families.

Now they are enjoying living near Martha Lake in Bothell, WA and I owe them a night out on the town to celebrate!
