Tips for Buyers in this Hot Market

If you've been trying to buy recently, you know how brutally tough it is out there.  Not very many great homes on the market, but plenty of people looking at every one of them.   Our recent open houses have brought over 100 people through the door, and many of them seem to be very serious about buying a home.  So could you use a few tips for competing in this hot market?  My advice would be to work...

What a Groovy Place!

"What a groovy place!" Right out of the mouth of my hip younger photographer when she shot photos of my listing on 6th Ave NW.  She nailed it.  50 Agents came through in the first 24 hours, 200+ folks stopped by over the weekend at the open houses.  Nine buyers took the time to write offers and tell us a bit about themselves and what they like about the home.  We so appreciate the level of interest...

No Inventory Around Here . . . .

How's our real estate market?  Well, honestly, there is no inventory around here.  All of these business cards were collected in 48 hours at my new listing at 5807 6th Ave NW - the house is wonderful and tons of agents should come see it and show it.  When there is a more balanced real estate market, this is about how many cards we would be seeing at the listing after a week on the market, so the...

What Buyers Want

After years of hosting open houses, I've seen what buyers want more than once.  Be it their first place or not, nearly all buyers are looking for open and light layouts, and rooms that allow you to converse and entertain, without feeling closed off or visually distanced from other activities.  That can be the simple things like seeing what's happening in the backyard from the kitchen, or being able...

Thanks Ozzie Kvithammer!

For the 12 days of Christmas I want to reach out and say thanks, and no one deserves a big  "Thank You" more than Ozzie Kvithammer, who sold his pal Advar on working with me long before I even got to meet him in person.  Ozzie you are truly a mobile marketing team and I so appreciate it.  I look forward to working with you in your new role as Community Banker at Mountain Pacific Bank in Ballard and...
