Emily exceeded ALL expectations. 🔑🎉

We contacted Emily on July 19, 2024 after asking our mortgage broker who was the best realtor in Seattle. He said “hands down it’s Emily Cressey.” We had found a house the day previously that was not on the market but knew the owner intended to list in the near future. Having purchased and sold several homes by owner in the past we hoped to bypass using a realtor in order to avoid paying their commissions. The owner decided she wanted to go with realtors so we brought Emily on board to help with the purchase of an out of state investment property that we weren’t even sure if would qualify for. We saw the home on the 18th, reached out to Emily on the 19th and were ready to close by August 10th. If all realtors were as knowledgeable, communicative, and willing to go the extra mile we would never again choose to purchase or sell with FSBO. Emily’s expertise was worth every penny and we only wish we had found her sooner for earlier transactions. As an out of state buyer we needed the willingness of an agent ready to go above and beyond the call of duty. Emily exceeded ALL expectations. She went to the house several times to take videos and point out things that may be of concern or just to help us know how big the closets were. She was quick to accommodate any concern we had and was so easy to communicate with. If we texted Emily day or night we were sure to get a response within the hour. We were thankful for her wise counsel in the negotiation stages as we ran into a few snags. She even drafted a letter from us to the seller sharing our story and why the seller should choose us as her buyer. Without Emily’s expertise I don’t think we would have been able to do this from the east coast. We are very grateful to have found her and look forward to working with her on our next purchase!

We Sold Brian and Mary’s Everett, WA Home To A Buyer Who Visited Our Saturday and Sunday Open Houses.

Brian and Mary were excited to show me photos of the new house they were buying in Texas. The only problem was, they had to sell their home in Everett first. Plus they wanted a lease-back so Mary would have time to finish her job at the school before they had to move.

My co-listing agent Laura Lee and I set to work staging their home (and getting them to move a lot of items into the garage). When we were done, the home looked a lot bigger, and the owners had obviously taken very good care of it and undertaken several remodeling projects.

We “held it open” for two days, inviting interested buyers to come and spend as much time as they wanted the first day it was on the market. We had several eager parties who came to BOTH days of the open house, and one of them ended up making the winning bid. She knew the friendly neighborhood and fenced back yard would be just right for her golden retriever puppy!

Brian and Mary were thrilled to have a solid offer with no contingencies, and a 2-week rent-back, because it made it much easier for them to transition to their new home.

Bon Voyage! We will miss you!

These First Time Home Buyers Did Not Want To Over-Pay, Even In A Hot Market. We Found A Home That Had Been Languishing On The Market Because It Didn’t Show Well, And Negotiated With The Seller To Get A Deal Locked-In.

Monika and Ravie worked for over 6 months to secure their home without overspending their budget or forgoing protections like an inspection.

They were very patient, stuck to their budget, and didn’t get frustrated, despite a very challenging market in which they wrote offers almost every weekend.

After so long searching together, these clients became good friends… they took ME out to dinner to celebrate their closing!

After fixing up their home and getting new jobs, their next step is buying some investment property or land!
