seattle real estate: The Numbers Can Be Deceiving: Seattle Real Estate Up Over 20% From A Year Ago According to Latest NWMLS Press Release. - 01/04/12 04:11 PM
Seattle Real Estate Up Over 20% From A Year Ago According to Latest NWMLS Press Release. Like divorce stats, etc. (ask me about my theory on Elvis Vegas weddings sometime if you want a different discussion altogether), I think all numbers are skewed, but the latest NWMLS report from the close of the 2011 December Seattle real estate market would suggest otherwise. Without me going into the fact that I disagree with my friend OB (who happens to be the President of Windermere) on whether or not we have already turned a corner as he says we have in this latest

This serves as a great reminder of what you can do to your transaction during the holidays or any time for that matter.

seattle real estate: Is There Financing Available For A Non-Owner Occupied Seattle Floating Home? - 02/07/11 05:08 PM
Is There Financing Available For A Non-Owner Occupied Seattle Floating Home? This was one of the latest round of questions I got on Seattle houseboats and the process of purchasing a houseboat.

seattle real estate: Contractual Obligations Of Seller When Vacating The Home - Just Use The Golden Rule! - 07/29/10 05:42 PM
This one is always interesting, but listing agents including myself need to prepare sellers for vacating their homes upon close. My very first transaction involved me representing a first time home buyer where the seller literally picked up their check at escrow and boarded a plane to California for good - food in fridge, clothes in closet, the tv was still one, etc. - you get the idea. It was not my job as a buyers agent to stand over her and make sure she left. The listing agent who happened to be pretty experienced should have seen the signs. Even a walk through on our part did not reveal her

Eastlake Floating Homes: A Few Reasons Why I Love Eastlake Eastlake is a small sliver of heaven in Seattle! Even though it hugs I-5 there are great big sound barrier walls that make it a tiny little village right in the city. A quick ride into South Lake Union or Downtown Seattle make it easy to see why this is such a great place to live. It is a small laid back neighborhood which happens to be right in the middle of it all! Eastlake offers some amazing single family, condo, and townhouse type homes, but the shoreline is all about

Seattle Real Estate: Superbowl Sunday or not, the buyers were out in full force yesterday! I figured yesterday would be a loss as far as getting any traffic into the houses that our company held open, but wanted to give it a shot anyway. Molly held open 9042 6th Ave NW, which is a great Greenwood home for sale on the edge of Crown Hill and had quite a few interested buyers through.
