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.

Henley Park Estates              
23719 NE 170th St, Woodinville 98077
MLS # – 1458657       Sold: $855,000

Sellers often ask me:
” Is there really a difference in which real estate company we list with?”
Are staging and marketing presentation really that important? “
The answer is, YES!!!!!

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.  

Come experience the beauty.

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!

Baker Condominiums –  Point Ruston, Wa USA

4961 Main St. Unit #803, Tacoma, Wa 98407

Procured at: $$991,000 USA   

 MLS# -1250073

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!

– Coast to Coast –

My clients were moving from Boston to Seattle. With a new baby shortly on the way, and another young one in tow, this move was a big event. They needed somewhere to land, a temporary place, and in short order, to start looking for a home to buy. I found them the perfect short term rental, fully furnished, in a beautiful neighborhood in Seattle. Negotiated the rental price down to fit their budget, and ensured it was ready and warm, with lights on, upon their arrival. Comfortable and settled,we then set out on the new home search. I was able to find them their dream home, in their perfect neighborhood, West Seattle. Even with fierce competition, we won the bid on that one, and it closed without a hitch. They could not have been more happy.

 Happy in West Seattle

I love seeing those happy smiles. The pleasure was all mine. 

 

– Whale watching from Maine –

A client lives in Maine with his lovely wife. Their daughter goes to school in Washington, They visit, they fall in love with the beauty of the Puget Sound. They start to dream about retiring here, and create their idea of a what that looks like to them. Their requirement: A direct view of Mt. Rainier, water view, specifically in the path of migrating whales. I was up for the challenge. I searched with them remotely via email, text and face-time video live tours. Once we narrowed down the town they decided  they loved the best, we started a more aggressive search there. We looked for nearly 6 months together. Finally finding a few perfect choices, they flew in for a whirlwind on site tour. I was able to procure for them through man negotiations the exact property they dreamed of, with all their specifications. They are overjoyed! This one was so much fun! I love finding that needle in a haystack, or in this case the one perfect whale in the bay! 

Point Ruston Waterfront

Thank you for the fun tours, and I can not wait for you to enjoy your beautiful new home. 

 

 – Around the world –

Across the globe, in China, a client and her family were planning a move to our beautiful state. A huge move, and an enormous undertaking for a family, they called on me to help them. Not certain where they want to buy long term, they knew they would like to try a very specific area of Mercer Island. Although there are not many rentals that met their desires, I was able to help them search even though they were across the globe from me, via face time and live tours, email and text communications. I found them exactly what they were searching for. I negotiated with the agent, to ensure even their furry family pets could tag along during their stay, and secured the home for them before their deadline. I maintained the home for them, during their transition period, and ensured their home was warm and lights on when they arrived. They arrived tired, and jet-lagged but were comforted by the delights awaiting them in their new home. They were elated, relieved and so thankful. Such a fun family to work with.

I look forward to the search for their new forever home.

JUST SOLD

– A family estate –

 After finding me on google as a top agent, these clients called me for help. Their mother had recently passed and left them her lifelong home estate. The family had been calling around to agents, asking for advice on the best way to sell it. Being a residential home, they were given a lot of advice on how to list it on the market. Highest amount they were told, was near $550,000 in value. I politely disagreed with their previous advisers and asked them to let me research the property more thoroughly, before making any decisions on how to sell it. I did a little home work and realized the best use for the property was not in a residential home, but in a more commercial application. I needed to find them a buyer, who would benefit from acquiring that particular property. I was able to, within 3 days, find them multiple offers from local property owners nearby. The family was ecstatic, and accepted an offer. It closed on time without any problems for $905,000. Nearly double what they had been advised of before meeting me. This was an end of an era for the family, and a start of a new beginning as well.

I was honored to be given the opportunity to assist your family. 

 

 – New Beginnings-

 A referral from a co-agent in our Montana Big Sky Sotheby’s office, I was called on for a favor of his long time friend. He had a very short timeline that he needed to meet, to sell his home he had owned for nearly 20 years. I met with him, listened to his needs, and he decided selling this off market was what he wanted me to do. Not many agents can do this, unless they have a large network or investors or builders. I have that network. I was able to procure multiple offers for him in just a few days. He accepted an offer, and was relieved to be moving on. I suggested he take a back up offer just in case, but it proved to be unnecessary it closed on time with no problems. It was exactly what he wanted, and he was so thankful for my help. It feels good to be able to deliver results exactly as they are asked of you. 

Kirkland, Washington

This one was a win. Best of luck in your new endeavors!

A West Seattle charmer, this home has uninterrupted views of the entire Puget Sound. A beauty from entry to exit, this home was a perfect fit for my clients. I have worked with this family for years, and it was a pleasure finding them another perfect property for their collection. Savvy investors are my forte. I sincerely enjoy working with my investor clients to enhance and grow their portfolios. I am always proud to have their trust and enjoy helping them in their quest for success.

An enormous thank you to Christopher Sayre, at Chase Bank, for his exceptional work on this transaction. As well as the title team at First American Title and the closing team of Galvin Realty Law Group. Great team work is always appreciated.

Repeat business is always the result of exceptional work. This was no exception.

Lochleven property
726 95th Ave NE, Bellevue, Washington USA
Sold at: $1,750,000 
 

This home sale was fantastic from start, to finish. I met this family after they had a failed attempt at listing their property for sale on the open market. They were frustrated and looking for alternative options. After spending quite some time listening to what they wanted to achieve, I was able to help them find the best solution to meet all of their needs. I assessed the property and recommended to them that their property may be better suited to an investor or builder, rather than a family looking for a home to live in.

They agreed this was the case and asked me to find them a buyer off-market. Because I work with so many builders and investors, I was able to find a buyer for this property within days at the price they were looking for and also allow them ample time and the funds necessary in advance, to find a new house to buy.

Thank you to the title and escrow teams at Chicago Title. A great job on this one, thank you.

All parties were happy and successful in this venture.

Congratulations to the Sprake family!

FSBO
 
Congratulations to the Pearson family! 
 
After listing and selling their West Seattle home, it closed in just 14 days. This wonderful family trusted me to procure their new home in very short order!
 
This is the over 55 community that my clients were dreaming of living in and I am so happy we found them the perfect home there!
 
This was a for sale by owner transaction and FSBO properties can sometimes be very difficult to deal with. Often people choose this route because they do not have a lot of trust working with a broker, due to a bad experience or they are trying to save money in fees. These sellers were initially hesitant to work with me, but at the end of the day they left with so many thank you’s and kind words to me, it really made me feel proud to have changed their mind about what we do. They even sent me a thank you letter after the close, to thank me again for my hard work.
 
A proud career moment.
 
Congratulations to my awesome clients and thank you both for trusting me with both of your transactions. I wish you both the very best of times in your new community!
