Seldom do I find a home that really takes your breath away, but this was the year. I was fortunate to list 1932 NW 97th Street in August and it flew out the door. The home had been designed by an award-winning architect, built with absolutely gorgeous materials and had a special zen feeling to it. It was a pleasure to represent sellers Dan & Lisa on this listing and we were so happy to turn over...

Looking for something special in North Beach? This unique view home just hit the market and is easy to show. If I can be of help with additional info, just let me know! MLS...

I just closed this awesome Farmhouse sale with fellow broker Jody Baker in North Beach.  It's always been one of my favorite neighborhoods, in fact I've lived in three homes here.  I love living near the beach, part of it is just leaving the noise and gridlock of the city behind you.  The calmness in our neighborhood and water views play a role as well.  Anytime I am driving down the hill...

When you walk in the door of a home for sale, you immediately know if it feels right to you,  just like the home you've been waiting for.  How can a Seller make changes to their furniture or stage a vacant home to create that "wow" vibe that Buyer's pick up on?  I have found every home has a certain energy based on the architecture, the color palate, or even what you see out the windows.  Once...

We have seen big changes in how homes are viewed, toured, and marketed over the past 6 weeks and I anticipate that more transitions lie ahead.  What has mattered, more than anything, are solid communications in the realtor community, as well as with your clients.  Since the beginning of "stay at home, stay safe" I have sold three homes in Ballard and a condominium in Madison Park.  Every step of the...

Flowers at Ken's market on Phinney Ridge  As Summer ends, it feels like real estate sales are heating up.  It has been so busy the past month or so that it begs the question, what is going on out there?  Well a few indications are that the Seattle economy continues to grow steadily with buyers wanting to purchase locally.  The interest rates are lower than they were a year ago and sellers are pricing...

When you shop for your new home, here's a few suggestions that should help.  Sometimes the vibe of the home will trump the asking price or even location.  That means there is a bit of excitement walking through the door.  The style, design, and use of natural light can make all the difference.  How a place feels as you walk through it is so key to your...

Sometimes when you are walking through a place that is up for sale, you have a throw back moment that triggers a fond memory from when you were a kid at home.  Just recently we did a small reno on a Phinney area home before putting it up for sale.  Didn't really change the house much, just did a refresh with some paint and small improvements to make it feel more inviting.  When we were done, I kept...

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...

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...
