I find it funny how every year about this time I want to make the same list of New Year's Resolutions, from eat more veggies to exercise daily. This year I hope to break the cycle and bust out with some different aims and aspirations. In the land of real estate sales, some articles would lead you to believe that the Seattle real estate market is toast, but in reality it has finally settled down...

When you think of lifestyles that are unique to Seattle, living right by the beach is at the top of the list. Just a few homes up from Blue Ridge Beach, you can sit on the deck and enjoy views, sea breezes and smell the salt air. Our amazing listing just hit the market, nwmls #1349609, available for $1,379,000. Built in 1954, it was the home of the month in the Seattle Times, and today it...
I have found that it is a gift to have a workshop or studio in your own backyard. It offers an opportunity for your creativity to grow, anytime you choose to open the door and spend a bit of time on your art. As a wood worker, painter, or other artist or musician, having that little haven for your own personal development is the type of thing that feeds the soul. I currently have a Pinehurst Home...
But when you find a forever view, you'll know it. This new listing of mine at 2606 Perkins Lane West captures the sweeping views of Puget Sound & the Olympic Mountains. From nearly every room in the home you will find yourself gazing out the windows, or wandering out onto one of the many decks. It was designed to be open and light inside, while banks of windows and French Doors draw your eyes...
Yes, we've dreamed up another great way to raise funds for the Ballard Food Bank. Gloria Jackson, an extraordinary cook and great fellow realtor, wanted to do a small appetizer cookbook, something thoughtful featuring organic farmer's market produce, perhaps something seasonal. We've taken that concept and run with it, and hope to be hosting a competition of some of the best Spring and Summer...
It's unusual to sell a home that hasn't been sold since 1964, rarely happens around here. Yet, I have that listing on the market right now and it is so lovely, truly a home for the hopeless romantic in all of us. What is hard to describe when you have one of the originals on the market, amid all of the systems information and square footage data, is how a place feels when you walk in the door, and...
This hot new listing of mine is one of those special gems of a home that is the perfect alternative for folks who do not want condo or apartment living, but don't really want the amount of space you find in a regular home. Much more interesting than a townhome as it has no shared walls and no home owner dues, you will find that this scaled small home, at just under 700 square feet, was beautifully...
In the winter months, a little glimpse of sunshine is so cherished by us here in Seattle. It really defines which properties you want to spend time in, those south-facing kitchens where you look upon a busy garden, and the south-facing nooks in the home that make you want to curl up with a good book and sit for a while. The summer here is divine, but between the storms that roll through during the...
