cooper jacobs: Lake Forest Park WA Real Estate May 2008 Market - 05/10/08 11:33 AM
Lake Forest Park is a great place to go look for choices on the market!!!!  According to the NWMLS as of today on my report, there have been 115 residential listings active this year.  Of the 115, 67 are active on the market (available for sale), 1 is contingent, 4 are subject to inspection, and 35 have sold since 1/1/2008.  Prices range from $179,000 to $2,495,000. 
Last year  (2007) 42 houses had sold by today, so we are 7 houses behind for now, but not too bad overall.

cooper jacobs: Seattle Suburbs Happenings! Mountlake Terrace Annual Garage Sale - 05/10/08 10:42 AM
One of my favorite things about Mountlake Terrace is that once a year the city puts on the annual garage sale.  This weekend, you can literally drive around to hundreds of garage sales!  It is quite the neighborhood thing to do, too - The city encourages clean up by allowing garage sales all weekend without a permit and people come out for this event!  After all the garage sales are over, Waste Management picks up UNLIMITED trash from their customers on trash day.  What a great way to clean up the city and allow some of those old things not needed … (0 comments)

cooper jacobs: Seattle Real Estate: Seattle Neighborhoods: Eastlake - 05/09/08 07:03 AM
I love Seattle's Eastlake neighborhood!  I think it has the perfect combination for someone who wants to live in the outdoors, but also in the city - great shops and restaurants plus easy access to the freeways.   Eastlake seems to have a park for everything and living is good!  Buying now in Eastlake is a great investment considering all that is going on in South Lake Union...................
Here are a few details about the listing I just put on in Eastlake:

cooper jacobs: Seattle Suburbs: Sno-Isle Regional Library Making it Easier to Move to Seattle Suburbs - 02/23/08 10:44 AM
Seattle suburbs in the north have a fabulous library system!  I love the convenient online ordering system -  you can order anything in the entire system to be picked up at your local library.  Go through their catalog and order as much as you want - they call to tell you that the items are at the building for pick up and will hold them for a few days if it isn't convenient to pick them all up right away. 
Here are the claims from the library system's website:
"21 Libraries plus Bookmobile, Outreach and Childcare programs serving more than 757,858 residents in … (0 comments)

cooper jacobs: Seattle Suburbs: Check out the Library System - Sno-Isle in Brier, WA - 02/23/08 10:02 AM
 Brier is so lucky to have such a wonderful library - it may be little, but this smaller library packs a punch and offers all the same wonderful perks of other Sno-Isle Regional libraries.  Check out DVDs, CDs, books, etc., and the children's reading section is adorable.
I love the convenient online ordering system, too - there is no need to have a huge library if you can order anything in the entire system to be picked up at your local library.  Go through their catalog and order as much as you want - they call to tell you that the … (0 comments)

cooper jacobs: Seattle Real Estate: Lenders busy out there? - 02/13/08 11:00 AM
Seattle real estate is hopping -If you don't believe me, then listen to this one:
 I just got told by a Seattle mortgage broker that one of my closings in escrow might be delayed because the lender is backed up!  I will be on top of this one to see what I can do to help, but thought that it was interesting since the media is still saying our market is slow......
The rates are low and the lenders are busy - I know based on other things that I have read that WAMU is pretty busy!  I just had no idea that they … (6 comments)

cooper jacobs: Seattle Suburbs New Construction Off Your GPS and Random Or Not? - 02/09/08 02:40 PM
Some builders in the Seattle Suburbs are putting developments up so fast that they are way off of my GPS!  Most of the time the site agents are pretty good about giving out decent directions, but I like to drive around and check out the new construction sites in the different suburbs to see what is going on!  For me, the best end product is all about granite slab and FRANKE sinks, but I love to see the humble beginnings!
I was so happy when the NWMLS implemented an aerial view (bird's eye) version of the maps for our listings!  Even if your … (0 comments)

cooper jacobs: Seattle Suburbs Real Estate: Yet Another Reason to Live in Mountlake Terrace - 01/27/08 10:17 AM
Seattle suburb Mountlake Terrace has a lot going for it, but did you know that it also has a state of the art swimming facility????
People literally drive from miles and miles to come swim in this city pool!  The city of Mountlake Terrace completely remodeled their Recreation Pavilion to make this one of the area's cheapest and best attractions! 
The Mountlake Terrace swimming facility is spectacular with many different areas to swim in including lap swim areas, children play areas, hot tub, and a lazy flowing "river" area complete with current just to name a few.
In addition to the pool … (0 comments)

Seattle Relocation Services:  Finding a school 
Relocating to Seattle is an exciting thing!  The 2008 Seattle real estate market is starting off strong and I anticipate being very busy if the last few months are a good indicator.  Seattle real estate is a good buy and a strong investment, but what about the schools in Seattle and Seattle suburbs?

cooper jacobs: Seattle Suburbs Real Estate: Turn Key Rental Properties In Demand - 01/26/08 03:31 AM
Seattle Suburb Landlord Woes:
Many current Seattle suburb landlords are finding that their real estate interest rates may be going up and they are not able to refinance their rental properties.  The increased payment exceeds the rental income and they are unable to meet the difference on a monthly basis.  There is a solution! 
Interest rates are low and investors are out looking for Seattle suburb properties they can sink their dollars into. One of the best investments is one that is already set up for success! Many Seattle sellers might worry about their ability to sell their rental property while it is … (0 comments)

cooper jacobs: Seattle Real Estate: The sales process - 01/24/08 11:32 AM
Buying or selling a house can be very confusing without the right REALTOR.  A Seattle buyer or seller really needs to take the time to interview a couple agents at least and make sure that they find a good fit before proceeding.  Too many times an excited buyer finds themselves in love with a house and overwhelmed by the process of closing a transaction.  Each and every transaction is slightly different and a full service REALTOR is vital in order to protect you! 
The sales process is a detailed flow of events which must be coordinated properly to keep the transaction … (0 comments)

How I help my Seattle WA buyers -  
Seattle real estate is wonderful and I can help you buy any Seattle house!  One of the first questions I always get from a new home buyer and also from some seasoned ones is this:

Seattle is known for its great coffee, but living in or around Mountlake Terrace has its perks!!!! 
I have had lots of coffee around Seattle and my very favorite is still Chad & Vicky's Espresso in Mountlake Terrace, WA.  Mountlake Terrace and Brier residents have a real treat in this coffee shop located in the most unlikely spot!  Chad & Vicky's Espresso is located on the corner of 228th St SW and Cedar Way INSIDE the Chevron!  They also have an amazing Drive-thru on the south side of the Chevron which I am not ashamed to say I frequent at least … (2 comments)
