Fall is the best time of year to prepare your game plan for both buying and selling. Our extremely competitive market here in the King, Snohomish, and Pierce county areas plateaus slightly during the fall and winter months. This is the PERFECT time to buy. Prices are down and sellers are much more motivated to sell this time of year, giving you more negotiating power. This is the time for you to get the best bang for your buck on any property purchase.
This is also the time of year all of my investors start buying those buildable lots! If you have been sitting on a property that would be an asset to a builder and thinking about this option for your property sale, call me!!! It is one of my specialties! Although you can list any time of year successfully,
Spring is the best time to list your property for sale, to acheive the highest rate of return. The highest priced property sales are typically registered in the months of May and June. Which means those homes were on the market in April or May. RIght now is the best time for you to reach out to me and let me help you utilize the winter months to expertly prepare your home for a successful Spring listing!

Congratulations to my amazing investor client, on this successful sale. I was able to assist him with procuring this property, at the very last minute on a Thursday late evening. It closed the following Wednesday, in just 4 business days from start to finish!
It is a solid investment opportunity for him to either flip, re-build, or re-sell to another builder.
Either way, a win for him. He was so pleased.
A record sale!
A repeat client. who I adore working with and always makes my job a lot of fun, thanks Mr. G! Also thank you Mr. Koepf, my excellent co-agent out of BIG SKY SIR in Montana, for working together with me on this, any many other properties. You are a pleasure to work with and I think we make a great team!
Another thank you to Teresa Jamieson at WFG National Title and Escrow and her escrow and title teams.
They are always so phenomenal at getting the job done!
Excellent work team!
Thanks to both of you for trusting me to help you with your sale.

I was surprised this morning to open my front door to a Fed Ex delivery driver. I was shocked again, when the box he had in his arms was in fact for me. One of my all time favorite client families had gone out of their way to have a Holiday gift delivered to my front door, as a thank you for my dedication to their family.
I was overjoyed and so touched. As if I could adore them any more than I already do!!!
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. W and kiddos!
I am very honored by your faith in me and your kind words.
I look forward to our future working together.
Thank you to all of my clients, team members, staff, and especially to the Shriner family, for allowing me the support and opportunity to become a success.
I am proud to represent such an amazing group of people here at MSIR.

Congratulations to my seller on this gorgeous custom built property sale!
I had the pleasure of helping my client sell this property twice! The first time, the original buyer backed out mere days before closing. However, I was able to procure my buyers earnest money for my seller, on that failed sale, and re-sell this property again in 3 days time for over asking price! It closed without a hitch and was our buyers dream home! I am proud to say, everyone is over joyed with the results. Working with my seller was the most fun I have had in ages, and I was proud to sell such a well built masterpiece for him.
Always make sure when you buy or sell a property, that you have a broker who will fight for you if things go awry. It is always my pleasure to do so and to ensure my sellers and buyers are protected. I deliver real time results that matter.
It was an absolute honor to be asked to assist dear family friends with the sale of their investment property. It means a lot when people trust you to help them with a sale. It means even more, when they are close friends. They were an absolute pleasure to work with and I am so happy for their success. This property had a few hurdles to get to market, but thankfully I was able to help my clients expertly navigate around them with ease, and it closed without issue. Congratulations to both buyer and seller on this fantastic stand-alone dream condo.
This property was found while browsing through my inbox emails from one of my colleague connections. I recognized that it would be perfect for a dear friend who was searching for something just like it, in order to expand her quickly growing business. I had this property in front of her within minutes of discovering it, and met her onsite shortly thereafter. It was a successful match! I worked quickly, and fought hard to help her succeed in beating out all other offers on the table. After securing her next business location, it closed without issue and all parties were elated with the results. I was honored again to be asked by a friend to assist with such an important step in their lives. She was an absolute dream to work with, and It was my pleasure to help her business grow. All the best with your future successes my friend, with many more to come.

1. Less Competition – There may be fewer homes available, but there are also fewer home buyers and that equals less competition for you.
2. Motivated Sellers – Combine motivated sellers with decreased competition and you have great leverage to get a better deal.
3. Lower Prices – December historically has lower home prices than any other month of the year.
4. Faster Closings – As a general rule, everyone involved in a holiday real estate transaction wants to complete the transaction before the end of the year.
5. Better Interest Rates – Interest rates are still near historical lows, so you may be surprised at the savings.
6. Motivated Agents – Lower activity in the Winter housing market means that real estate agents are dealing with fewer clients and have more time to devote to you.
7. Related Seasonal Sales – Need new furniture or other items for your new home? Plenty of seasonal clearance sales will be available to help you apply your personal touch.
This article from MoneyTips.com, is a great example of why you should definitely buy a home this time of year. Follow the link below for the full article.
2017 was, yet again, a strong seller’s market! Our real estate continues to increase in price, keeping the Seattle metropolitan and its surrounding areas at the top of our Nations real estate markets. Experts agree that the shortage of inventory continues to create this result. Looking forward to 2018, this trend has shown no signs of changing in that respect. This abundance of savvy buyers are still looking, there simply is not enough out there for them to buy.
How does that translate to you as a homeowner?
Spring may still be peak home-shopping season, since most families want to move when the kids are out of school. Yet, it actually pays to list in the winter, when buyers tend to have more urgency: One study found that average sellers net more above asking price during the months of December, January, February, and March than they do from June through November, and homes listed in the Winter sold faster than those posted in the Spring.
That means: Now is the time to sell your home!
Buyers want to buy it and you should absolutely take advantage of that demand.
Not sure where you will go?
As a Sotheby’s International Realty agent, I can help you buy nearly everywhere in the world, not just locally. I will assist you with planning ahead, to ensure that new home transition is both smooth and effortless for you and your family.
So, dream big and let’s make your dreams a realty together.
Give me a call and I will provide you with a current market analysis of your home and help guide you down the path to success.
Whether you are selling a single family home, or a commercial investment property,

2016 was one of the strongest seller’s markets in the history of the Seattle metropolitan and its surrounding areas. Experts abound, and all are in agreement, that the shortage of inventory that created this result, was the worst they have seen in decades. 2017 so far has shown no signs of changing in that respect. The buyers are still looking, and there simply is not enough out there to buy.
How does that translate to you as a homeowner?
Even with a mild mid-winter slowdown due to lack of inventory, 2017 is not showing signs of a lack of buyers at all. In fact, the market has become ravenous with even more buyers looking than last year with little to no inventory available to buy. Leading into the spring and summer markets, this will create a literal war-zone for potential buyers who will be fighting for the winning bid on your home and willing to spend above top dollar in order to reign supreme.
That means: Now is the time to sell your home.
Buyers want to buy it and you should absolutely take advantage of that demand.
Not sure where you will go?
I can help make that transition smooth and effortless for you.
As a Sotheby’s International Realty agent, I can help you buy almost anywhere in the world, not just locally. So dream big and let’s make it happen together. Give me a call and I will provide you with a current market analysis of your home and help guide you down the path that will lead to the best possible result on your sale.

Make sure you have a strong agent with exceptional negotiating power behind them to help you in your search for a new home.

SOLD!
Located in the popular High Bridge area of Monroe, Wa, this one of a kind 3044 square foot view estate is a one of a kind piece of art.
I was able to procure a buyer and negotiate the additional time needed for my clients to move into their newly purchased property after the close, at no cost to them! Thus creating a seamless transition from one home to the next.
It is important to be able to understand and support your clients needs before, during and after the transaction. It is not just about the deal and its paperwork, it is about caring about your client. Being sincere, creative, assertive and paying attention to detail is paramount to ensure that both transactions line up expertly and everyone involved leaves with a smile.
I had a wonderful time working with this extraordinary couple, both in their listing and the purchase of their new home. A big thank you to the title and escrow team at Chicago National Title for helping to make this a smooth close.
Congratulations to the Sprake family on this great sale.
Having just listed their home in Monroe, I was able to procure this property for them as a contingent purchase! A very hard thing to do in this market!
This very sought after, over 55 community was something they were very interested in and within, their perfect home was found.
I am so excited to have had the honor of helping you purchase your next home. I hope you both have a great time enjoying all of the amenities of this amazing community!
Thank you to the team at First American Title and Escrow and Kathleen Goch of BECU for all the hard work on this close! Great job.
My success is found in the thank you’s, the hugs and the big smiles I am given!

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!
