My mission is to help my clients achieve their Real Estate goals and make a difference in their lives by helping them make smart, well educated decisions about buying or selling real estate.  I have an extremely good understanding of the Seattle Real Estate market, its neighborhoods and the constantly changing market conditions.  I know when the market is changing and where it is going and I spend all the time necessary to help my clients understand current home values and trends so they can make well informed decisions and keep at least one foot firmly planted in reality. I advise my Buyers as to the true market value of a home and analyze the property to accurately predict future values.  I never "buy a listing" from Sellers by telling them their home is worth an inflated amount to get the listing, I tell them the truth even if it costs me the listing and my track record show that i am 99% accurate.I

I absolutely love living in Seattle.  I have traveled the US extensively and have spent considerable time in other great cities and Seattle continues to be my favorite place to live.  Sure there are better places to spend time on the beach, to see fabulous Broadway shows, or to shop and dine out, but Seattle in my opinion is the best compromise out there.  The weather here is actually wonderful.  It rarely snows in Seattle, but when it does the city come to a screeching halt.  The average temperature in Seattle in the Winter is in the mid 40's.  It rains a lot but after a year you get used to it, but we actually get less rain than New York City.  The summer time here is wonderful, with average temperatures in the mid 70's and low 80's but with almost no humidity.  Seattle is surrounded by water and mountains, Puget Sound and the Olympic Range on the West and Lake Washington and the Cascades Range on the East.  The mountains are just about an hours drive away and the views of the mountains are simply spectacular.  You can see Mt Rainier (over 14,000 feet and south of Seattle) from many neighborhoods, the snow covered Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound from others and Downtown and the Cascade Mountain Range from others.  There are some areas that you can see most all of that.  Seattle is made up of a series of hills, so the views here are awesome and since they aren't making any more view property the investment values of these view properties are outstanding.  Downtown Seattle has grown significantly over the past 20 years and restaurant and shopping scene is excellent, not yet as good as San Francisco but getting there.  Washington State just licensed its 500th winery this year and Washington State Wines are some of the best in the world.  We are home to three major league sports teams, The Sonics, The Mariners, and the Seahawks and we have arguably the best professional baseball and football stadiums in the country.  And if you love boating, well this is the place to live other than perhaps the Greek Iles.  Seattle has been called the boating capital of the world and it really deserves those accolades.

I sell Seattle Real Estate and I am Really Good At It.  It's my Full Time Job and I Love it.  Whether you are a first time home or condo Buyer or selling your 5th home I can help you sell for more and buy for less and our track record proves that.  Something we learned many years ago is that we have two ears and one mouth and we use them proportionally.  I know how to listen to my clients and understand their needs and goals and I know how to help them achieve their goals.  To learn more about me and my business philosophies please visit our web site at www.dkbell.com.
