We're getting ready to list a really nice condo and like many condo owners you may wonder what do you need to do before it hits the market. Here are some of the things on our list. First impressions make a difference so wash the front door, refresh any pots near the outdoor entry with attractive living plants, sweep the entry area and add a new door mat by your front door. Your windows are your view...

Having just reviewed offers on another wonderful listing of ours, I am again reminded just how important it is to have everything ready and clean & tidy before a home hits the market.

"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.

When you're able to sit down, feel a sense of privacy, enjoy views without any phone wires and some amazing sunsets, you've added up just about...
As we enter official "summer season" in Seattle, sales are heating up and buyers are impressed with garden spaces, decks & terraces now more than ever. In the winter months we tend to find comfort in cozy fireplaces, kitchen nooks and interior spots that create retreats from the winter storms and rainy, windy weather.
