Approved Short Sale in Maple Valley's Eastwood Forest. The irony is, we received approval on the 2nd loan for this house the same day the buyer was laid off. What can I say? Life Happens! This lovely 3 BR two story is a short sale but after several long months negotiating with both the first and ...

Who doesn't like new? Whether it be a car, pair of shoes, coat of paint....ok, there have been a few new hair-dos I could have lived without, but for the most part new is always exciting and fun.

It was a gorgeous day weather-wise here in Seattle yesterday. On the first day of Spring 2010, we had temperatures near 70 degrees and sunshine all day long.

It seems we are finally starting to see some progress with short sale closings here in Maple Valley. Previously, the number of closed sales was very low compared to the pending sales clogging the escrow funnel. As of today, there are 44 Active Short Sale Listings in the greater Maple Valley area....

Every now and again my husband and I decide to head "into town" for a lunch or dinner or sometimes we just walk around taking in the sights and sounds of city life. We live in Maple Valley WA, which is about a 30-40 minute drive to downtown Seattle or it's posh sister city, Bellevue.  Usually we ...

It's always been fun to sell a brand new home (as in new construction) and watch my client's excitement as things eventually come together. Sheet rock is done, cabinets are in, they've chosen their colors and finally it's all come together! One of my favorite steps in the process is the walk-thr...
