Earlier this week I had a meeting with a couple who own a wonderful home in Magnolia with views of Downtown Seattle, the Space Needle, Puget Sound, Mt. Rainier, and this is their view.....

When their house was listed earlier this year with another Seattle real estate agent, the on-line photos of the views were of gray, overcast skies, not the sun drenched, bright, open concept rooms and their stunning views.  Their home was on the market for quite awhile earlier this year and had not sold even with price reductions. 

I emailed the listing last spring to a couple who live out of state and who were thinking of retiring and moving to Seattle where they keep moor their 40 foot boat.  They were looking for a Magnolia Sound view hometo retire to.  I previewed the house and strongly encouraged my clients to see the house next time they were in town because the on-line photos did not do justice to the views which really needed to be experienced in person.  Unfortunately my clients plans have changed and they are putting off moving to Magnolia for awhile.   

When the listing period ended and the house was no longer on the market I called and left a message with the homeowners saying that I had some ideas about improving the marketing for their home.  Late last week I received a call from one of the owners that resulted in our meeting this week.  The owners and I sat down to talk for quite awhile after I toured their home.   They had some questions (some written down!) and we talked about my ideas for marketing their home if they decide to hire me as their Seattle real estate agent to list and market their Magnolia home next spring.

  Because we are now in the typically slower fall market I feel waiting until next spring will be a better time to list and present their home to potential buyers.  Also the views are shown off to their best advantage in the spring and summer.  This house is ideal for a couple who are downsizing from a larger home, and want to live a more urban Seattle experience, but want more privacy, parking and square footage than they would find living in a high rise Seattle condo.   Wouldn't you love to enjoy views like this?
