The Real estate industry is a mystery to those that are not either regularly buying and selling, or work as a professional in the industry.

Here we are going to give everyone a peek behind the curtain and a glimps of how it works.

Brokers represent the public and the company. Sales associates represent the broker and serve the public.

Sellers need to sell and either seek out a sales professional, or sales professionals seek them.

Buyers want to buy and seek a sales professional, or sales professionals seek them.

92% of all Real property buyers and sellers work with a Real estate professional.

Q: Why?
A: Because Real estate professionals already have a network and have the "In" on all available inventory "The MLS" and the license to carry a digital key.

The biggest value that Real estate professionals offer to the consumer is information. They are the ones with intimate knowledge of the local market and current trends. Smart and savvy consumers know that it is always best to use the experts when it comes to big ticket items.

What does this all mean? Well it means that agents can market and agents can hussle, but in the end the sale will usually come down to a "Broker" to "Broker" transaction.

Snohomish Washington is a quaint little city resting along side the river that shares its name. The city of Snohomish is known for its many antique shops and diverse small business community. The town itself is a bit of an anomoly with housing developments that have stood since the founding of Snohomish to almost million dollar estates on 5 acre parcells overlooking the valley. There has always been a desireability factor for living in Snohomish although the city itself has no real economic value, you can work at any multitude of small retail and grocery stores, but the only major industry in Snohomish is the mill, or farming. We believe that the draw to Snohomish is the small town feel, the friendly people and the accesibility. The median home price for the area is not that far off of neighboring city Everett Washington, but 20,000 higher than Lake stevens and surrounding areas.

Median home price Snohomish/Monroe/Sultan/Startup/Gold bar/Index/Galina May 2010 - June 2010 $295,000 Two hundred ninety five thousand dollars

Marysville Washington is the third largest city in Snohomish county. The major commerce of Marysville is the Tulalip resort casino, although this operation is owned and operated by the Tulalip tribe many citizens of Marysville and the surrounding area are employed there. There is also major corporations such as Home depot, Wall-Mart, and Costco. Marysville has no major industry, there are the Strawberry growers, a lumber mill, misc. retail, and other such employment, but during the boom market most of Marysville value was for Boeing workers that wanted an affordable home within a reasonable commute. While the market will recover the median price in Marysville and surrounding areas like Arlington, Stanwood, Lakewood, Silvana, and Darrington is over 40,000 less than Everett just 15 minutes south on Interstate 5.

I just finished uploading this Vacant land for sale, 17814 65th Dr NW, Stanwood, WA

Panoramic views of Lake Howard can be yours! This half acre lot is ready for your custom construction. With power and water on the road, an (expired) septic design in hand, and since manufactured homes are OK, you could be living here before you know it. Across the street from the gated, private beach and towering over the lake itself, this is one awesome find. Treed with small growth pines and alders, you can stay screened from the neighbors and still take in this fantastic view!

If you are out and about in Snohomish county (Everett more specificly) and you are getting hungry you need to stop in and get a slice of pizza at Brooklyn Bros. Pizzeria. This is some of the best pizza you will ever eat. They are located right accross the street on the north side of Comcast arena at the corner of Hewitt and Lombard.
 

They sell pizza by the slice (and they are huge) whole pies for delivery, and dine-in. Brooklyn Bros. is a casual environment where you can enjoy some awesome pizza!
