Karen is a proud first-time buyer!

Karen was working two jobs when she met me. A single woman, she only had herself to rely on, and a clear goal – she wanted to save up and buy a house of her own. Her dream came true when she decided to lease-purchase a home that I had available.

She took great care of it when she lived there and was able to purchase it after just one year.

The proud look on Karen’s face says it all. This is one of my tenants who was able to purchase her first home – on her own! – after leasing from me for a year! Congratulations, Karen!

🏡 Proud New Homeowners! 🎉🔑

Congratulations to Strom and Emily B. and their super-dog Loki on their fabulous new home near New Castle. 😉

Remodeled House used as Airbnb became a nice home for a sweet couple and their Loki

This home was remodeled and used as an Air BnB, so it was really tricked out with some nice touches! Emily and I especially loved the magical color-changing fireplace and remodeled kitchen! And we’re sure Loki is going to love the yard!

Strom: I’m going to be sending you my favorite resources on fruit tree growing here in the PNW so you can get your home orchard established ASAP! Cheers!

Strom and Emily B.

Testimonials

Dan Decided To Replace His Carpet (He Had Dogs and Had Been There For 10 Years) To Get His Home Ready To Sell. With Our Staging and Photography, It Was Ready To Go And Sold In 1 Week.

Dan and his girlfriend were ready to move to a new state…

Together we scrubbed, polished, staged, and photographed their home, along with Laura Lee here at HomeSmart. With aggressive advertising, we packed the house with buyers!

We found a buyer at the Open House the first weekend the home was listed.

14 days later, Dan had cashed out and was riding his motorcycle to Arizona and a fresh start!

…more like a personalized real-estate concierge than a generic real estate agent

Emily was a great real estate agent for us as home buyers. She quickly understood what we wanted, answered all of our questions, and adapted to our special requests. She tracked down numerous issues with sellers and gave frequent, positive communication about status. She gave us lots of useful information about the home-buying process and home ownership, and even several goody bags to help us through travel days. Overall, she felt more like a personalized real-estate concierge than a generic real estate agent. She always made time for calls and travel, and we felt like her number one clients. Definitely better service than agents we’ve worked with in the past – highly recommended!
