The March newsletter covers the arrival of the spring market in Seattle.
Historic Pioneer Square Condo
Historic condo in the heart of Pioneer Square! Rich with Seattle history, the Florentine is a former warehouse built in 1909. This home features exposed fir timbers, reclaimed fir floors, gallery walls for the art enthusiast & reclaimed solid interior doors on industrial-grade steel sliders. Impressive details at every turn + the convenience & excitement of Pioneer Square outside your door.
Trading up
Americans have more equity in their homes than ever. But using that equity toward a down payment on your next home isn’t as simple as you would hope, and can involve significant risk. My aim in this post is to help you learn how to protect yourself by using a home sale contingency (aka “contingent offer”) to buy your next home, or to consider other options that might make sense for you if you’re looking to move.
North Delridge Standalone Townhome
Tucked away in a quiet, convenient part of North Delridge, this standalone 2-story home is a commuter's dream. Easy access to Rapid Ride C-line & WS Bridge + great walkability. The main floor features comfortable living & dining rooms, gas fireplace, open kitchen with stainless appliances, & slider to the fenced backyard.
Wrapping up 2018
I'm thrilled for all of my clients who made moves this year. Some bought their first home; others moved up to homes they may not sell for decades. I helped two friends from grade school make "move-up" purchases with what will soon be their own elementary-school-aged children! Read on for more stories from 2018.

Selling Your Home Without an Agent
News headlines make it seem like selling homes is easy. Plenty of folks probably wonder whether they need a real estate broker at all. But most DIY sellers leave thousands of dollars on the table by skipping important steps when selling their homes because they don't have the tools to handle marketing their home or negotiating the best deal.
