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!

It’s totally normal to feel intimidated by the Seattle housing market, as a first time home buyer.

Getting Good Information Regarding The Seattle Housing Market

I saw your youtube videos regarding home buying in Seattle. They were quite nice and gave me really good information regarding the Seattle market. Me and my husband were looking for a home in the North Seattle area but are not comfortable jumping onto big realtors. Also, the current housing market is super intimidating. If you have any good info on where we can start our home buying journey, it would be great! Thanks!

From Fixer Upper to Fabulous: A Sold Success!

What happens when you sell a fixer house for the very tippy-top of the market range? We found out: Buyers get a little nervous.

This little house in Kenmore had been owned as an investment and rental for many years. It was adjacent to a buildable piece of land, also for sale… There were a lot of different things different prospective buyers wanted to do with it…. Remodel it, rent it, build something new, or buy the full acre and develop it all.

We Sold This Fixer Upper House Sold As-Is In Kenmore, Washington, In A Tricky Market, With Buyer Hesitancy.

All the buyers had good ideas, but they were all a little nervous about whether their plan was best.

We actually got all sorts of offers on this property and ended up putting it under contract twice, and having buyers try to back out twice… However, the second time the buyer was locked in with a very strong contract, and we had to remind the him that he would lose his (substantial) earnest money deposit if he didn’t perform.

Happily, he bought the lot at a great price for my seller, and he is eyeing the lot next door as well.

We always prefer people to be happy with their transactions, but we are also here to ADVOCATE for our clients. We want them to get what they are owed, and understand the TEETH in our paperwork.

This is one of the reasons why I spend so much time reviewing contracts with my buyers and sellers. I don’t want them to just blindly start signing things they don’t understand and then try to back out or change their minds.

And if someone is acting in such a way that harms my client, like trying to back out of a signed contract, I’m going to do everything I can to advocate for my client. In fact, this is how we recovered $22.5K of forfeit earnest money on another transaction this month.

Everybody likes to be a “nice person” and be “approved of” by others. But when it comes to advocating for clients, realtors must step up and be the bad guy, when necessary, to make sure their clients are protected.

The good news, is that we were able to sell this fixer house for $50K over asking price and $40K over the next highest offer. We were thrilled to do it, and excited to see what comes next for our client.
