Extraordinary Sale- June 2019
Exceptional Results – At Any Price Point, Every time! How hard does your broker work for you? |
JUST PURCHASED  Mercer Island Masterpiece 4465 Forest Ave SE, Mercer Island, Wa 98040 Purchased: $6,900,000 MLS #: 1453721 A one of a kind, work of art. This property is one of the most extraordinary homes I have ever had the pleasure to witness in my career, to date. The stunning master-level design and majestic esthetic design was created by Robert Hutchison Architecture and expertly constructed by E & H Construction. Boasting over 7000 square feet of luxury modern and custom finishes, everywhere you place your gaze you are reminded of how much expertise was used to create this dramatic space.  The custom modern esthetic throughout this home was designed to work in perfect harmony and balance, with the nature surrounding the home.    Perfectly placed at the water’s edge, with extreme privacy and unparalleled vies of Lake Washington, there are few other properties that could come close to the grandeur of this one. Complete with a separate Lakeside home, designed exclusively for your indulgent privacy or for visiting guests.    Offering falling water gardens on all three levels of this property that lullaby your senses into tranquility. as you make your way down to its grand lakehouse.    In every room, you are surrounded by breathtaking views. With every step, you are reminded of how the design of this home was built with flow and art combined to perfection. An impressive theater room, a grand office with a view, a custom chef’s kitchen, two dining rooms for entertaining, state of the art, high tech smart home technology and private bathrooms in every bedroom, this designer thought of every detail to provide comfort, beauty and luxury. THE FAMILY This has to quite literally have been one of my favorite sales of all time, I had the pleasure of working with this family for over 2 years. We met in one of my open houses in Bellevue, Washington. They were at that time, residing abroad. They had the intention or relocating back to our area of the Unite States nearly a year later, but were not sure where they wanted to be. I took their information, as they were flying out just days later. I contacted them remotely, via email, and found out they really wanted to be on Mercer Island, Washington. However, as they were partially unfamiliar with the area and its’ schools, they needed time to relocate and feel out the area before deciding where to buy. They decided they wanted to rent something during that period of investagotary area study. I took them on virtual tours, and was able to locate the perfect rental that fit their criteria. I proceeded to handle the rental transaction for them, so that when they landed in the airport with their family, they could go directly to this new rental, no stress, no headaches. We then began the study period. During this time, they considered all aspects of the island, vs other areas like Bellevue and Hunts Point. Settling on the dynamic of Mercer Island, we began to narrow down their search to which areas fit them best. We also discovered exactly what their dream home would consist of, in a perfect world. Upon minimizing our search to a very specific point on the island, I continued to study the entire island and its listings vs sales, in order to ensure the accuracy of price on their interested properties. One morning, I noted a property that was the absolute description of their dream property. It was located in a different part of the island, but I suggested we go see it for a comparative analysis anyways. We did this, and immediately realized this was the one for them and their family. Exactly what they wanted. It had only been on the market one day, when we went to see it. Their reaction to it made me realize we had to strike immediately, to ensure their success. It had not even had an open house, prior to me facilitating their offer to purchase and a successful mutual acceptance. Both the buyer and the seller were elated at the results of how smooth this transaction was. I am so happy for this family, and was honored to be chosen to help them with this huge life journey. I know this home will be a family legacy for years to come. It is no easy task to bring a property sale of this size to a successful close. There are many facets, and many studies that need to be considered in great detail. A big thank you to the Katie Penny Shea and Molly Penny of CBBain Mercer Island, and to WFG National Title and Escrow teams for working so hard to bring this record-breaking property sale to a smooth, effortless close. Your attention to detail, and marked professionalism shows in the expert level quality of your results. Sincerely. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Does your broker make you feel important? Do they answer the phone when you call?

I was competing against another broker for this listing and I was honored to be chosen based on my experience, my education, my market knowledge and the un-paralleled and extensive marketing power I provide as a Sotheby’s International Realty agent.This home happens to be sitting just 2 homes away from another property that listed for sale about 2 weeks before this one, on the same street. The homes are very similar in layout, design and size. My clients’ property was listed and went pending in just 4 days, closing without a hitch and on time. The other property, sadly, is still listed for sale to this date. The difference, in my professional opinion, is simply this: correct pricing, exceptional preparation, state of the art staging, extraordinary marketing presentation and access to listing placement on our exclusive global marketing platform. Presentation matters. Marketing matters. Price matters. Timing matters. The proof is in the sale. Definitely of the most fun couples I have ever had the pleasure to work with, this transaction was fun from start to finish! Thank you both for trusting me with the sale of your home and again with the purchase of your new forever home! The pleasure was definitely all mine.

I am so honored to have been chosen by a respected colleague, out of our Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty office, with the referral of her long treasured clients. Especially with such a huge life changing event as this one was for them. These clients are amazing people and a dream to work with.I wish you both all of the fun and bliss this new life chapter will create for you both! _______________________________________________ Off Market Sale  Federal Way Charmer 33223 30th Ave SW, Federal Way, Wa 98023 Sold: $375,000 One of the most touching sales in my career. I was honored to be selected to assist this couple with the sale of the home they raised their family in for over 30 years. They were downsizing into their next forever home, which I also had the pleasure of assisting them with.During the process, they felt they wanted to do something special with this home. They did not want the stress or headache of listing this home for sale on the open market. They asked me to help them sell it instead, off-market. They also wanted the sale of their family home to mean something. They had a treasured neighbor couple, who they had been friends with a long time. They knew this couple was interested in buying their first home. They spoke to them about it and this neighbor was, in fact, interested in purchasing their home. I was then asked, by both parties, to assist them both in the sale of this home between friends. I was flattered and delighted by this request. Helping people buy their very first home is my favorite thing to do! They always have a lot of questions, and I enjoy teaching them all about the process at every turn. Two of the nicest and most genuine people I have ever met, helping this couple to buy their first home, was very fulfilling.I hope they enjoy many years of creating lasting memories in their new home!Congratulations to both buyer and seller on such a fantastic property sale! ____________________________________________________________________________ Does your broker make you feel important?

Baker Condominiums – Point Ruston, Wa USA
4961 Main St. Unit #803, Tacoma, Wa 98407
Procured at: $$991,000 USA
This experience is one for the record!
I was contacted directly by a gentleman out of Maine, USA. He found me by doing a lot of research online. He told me that he and his wife had visited the West Coast many times and had fallen in love with it. They were planning this move several years ahead to relocate here upon retiring. He wondered if I would be willing to help him find a property, that he was not sure would actually exist. I asked him for a list of his dream criteria.
They were:
– A condominium located in a walking community with a lot of activites nearby
– Waterfront but not too loud
– A view of Mount Rainier
– Not too far from the airport
– High rental income rate
– And here was the final clincher…. Located in the path of migrating whales so that he could view them from his balcony.
That was a tall order. I was absolutely game for the task.
My specialty, is assisting clients in any community they want to live in, both locally and internationally. I do this through study and research, which allows me to become an expert anywhere in the world.
Together, my client and I gathered a lot of data about whale migration, proximity to the areas he wanted, rent revenues and walking districts. We did this together for many months. After a time, we narrowed down the search to specific areas that met most or all of that criteria.
He flew out a few times, to view specific listings I had selected for him. After two visits, we found “the one”. The Baker Condominiums in Point Ruston! He was absolutely in love! It met every single point on his criteria list, even the whales! He flew out his wife for the next visit, and she too fell in love. I helped them make an offer, and secured the property for them at asking price.
The following trip I had the pleasure of also meeting thier daughter, and we all had lunch in the village nearby. It was so satisfying and heartwarming for me to see all of them so happy about this new life chapter! It was truely one of the most memorable experiences I have had in my career. I am looking forward to the day when they become my neighbor, so we can visit over lunch again.
All the best to you and your family!
Enjoy the view!
Sincerely.

University District- Boarding House
Sold: $1,695,000
This propery has a long history and a great story. This property happens to be one of the very first properties I ever contracted early in my career. The clients were savvy real estate investors and world travelers who were long standing clients of one of our Califoria Sotheby’s International Offices, looking for investment opportunities in Washington State. I was put in charge of their interests and did my research based on their criteria. On one of thier first visits to our State to look at properties, we ran across this one off-market. I successfully negotiated the sale for them, and they have owned and operated it ever since as a very successful addition to their real estate portfolio.
We have become friends over these long years and stay in touch regularly. They are even the proud parents to one of my Boston Terrier puppies, perfectly named Teddi Spaghetti. I absolutely adore this family, they are such amazing and fun people, who are full of life.
Recently, via referral, working with Niko Raptis of Realogics Sothebys International Realty and Dave Poletti, of Poletti nd Associates, who had been managing the rental for many years, it was successfully sold in 1 day for asking price. My clients were elated!
Congratulations on this successful sale!
Thank you both for your years of loyalty and friendship!

Sold: $887,500
Congratulatons to this fun family! A referral from a dear friend, who happen to be two of her closest friends, I was honored to be selected to help them downsize to their new home.
They had long been searching for a property near their dear friends home and this one caught their eye. I was able to assist them in successfully winning the bid for BELOW asking price, and they even paid BELOW appraised value. That means, they essentially had equity in this new home, from day one. That is a rare occcurrance in our hot local market to be sure.
With a breathtaking view of Lake Sammamish and walking distance to their best pals house, they could not have been more pleased. I was so proud to have this opportunity to help them acheive their dream.
Many years of happiiness to both of you and thank you for trusting me to assist you!!

COMMERCIAL
The Clover Building- Bellevue, Wa USA
This was a very fun transaction. I was contacted by a private company who hadd been searching for a commercial lease, who had found me by researching online for expert agents in this area. Their corporate office found my experience to be top notch and just what they were looking for. They required a very specific list of criteria: size, speciffic layout and ameneties, and proximity location to a large local company. All within a very tight timeline.
I was able to create a tour of acceptable properties within days and took their team on tour. They had not experienced looking at commercial spaces before, so I was able to educcate them on the steps, and hep them visualize what thier new offices would loo lie, after construction was complete of the empty shell we were viewing. It was reassuring to them to know they had all their bases covered there. After looking at several locations, we found just the right fit. I was able to negotiate terms for them that included several months of free rent and all TI they wanted payed for by the landlord. They were so very pleased and ever so grateful.
I really enjoyed working with this amazing company, learning more about what they do and sincerely honored to meet their team of managing members. It was a lot of fun and I look forward to seeing the finished space!
All the best in your expansion efforts!
I wish you and your company all the success and prosperity!
