From Uncertainty to Dream Home: A Journey of Patience and Success

These sellers first reached out to me 2 years ago when I was marketing extensively during the sale of their neighbor’s house.

After 30 years at their current address, they were thinking about moving into a new home closer to their son’s new business.

Marysville, WA Home For Sale (Tri-Level)

The only problem was, their son hadn’t bought his business yet, so they weren’t quite sure where they wanted to end up.

We stayed in touch while they checked out many homes for sale in the area they wanted to end up (Kirkland/Bellevue) to get an idea of what was out there.

Finally, they bought their new business and were ready to put down roots. They found it would be easier to finance their new property if they moved into a short term rental while getting their old home ready for sale.

We helped them get it all fixed up and payed for professional staging so it would look its best.

The big day came and….

They got it sold, and now have cash in their accounts ready to go shopping for their new dream home closer to their kids and work. Dreams really do come true!

Testimonials

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!

This Lynnwood home garnered over 22 offers with our marketing plan, and we were able to create a “paper auction” which elevated the offer price by more than the entire listing commission.

Adam and Letty decided to move out of their home (along with their kids and pets) so they could really get it ready to put on the market. They rented a home nearby while they fixed up the paint and flooring – making this house shine.

Their strategy worked.

We got it on the market with a huge launch – professional photos and videos. Flyers, online ads, phone calls, emails.

Through our Open Houses, we met buyers at the property and helped cherry-pick the most interested so we could get their offers in on the property.

I negotiated through the night with a huge field of buyers. One buyer stuck with it, outbidding everyone else, and we finally signed the contract with him at 1:00AM in the morning – setting a new price record for this Lynnwood HOA Community.
