Microsoft House Sells in Under 3 Weeks

Nancy House — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 12:01:00 GMT

Microsoft Tri-Level Sold in 3 Weeks!

Use our Team for Great Results.

Who markets your house and what their strategy is makes a difference.

This house was a great house to begin with but we helped present it properly to get it maximum exposure and attract the right buyer. It begins with what we call a "critical path". We visit the house and assess its strong points, any work or touch-up that needs to be done and the timeline for completing the work. We have trusted painters, landscapers, handymen & house cleaners that we work with. We organize the work and supervise it for you to get ready for the next phase in pre-marketing. After the unromantic (but very necessary) work is completed the rest of our team comes in to showcase or stage your home. That brings your home up to a picture perfect state and the professional photos are taken. Once the pictures are taken we can officially list the house.

A professional and ACCURATE photo representation of your home is a necessity in today's market. We use the photos for the listing, on the custom flyers and on your own hand-crafted website. We have a very special team that helps create the site with extra photos, special links to area information and even a calendar notifying potential buyers of events at the home and surrounding area.

The work done before it actually gets listed is essential to a successful transaction. Our team works to get you results by presenting your home at its best.There is a lot of up front time and thought that goes into the presentation of your home. See below the detail we used in describing this home and telling its story.

From the moment you enter you know this is a very special home.

Located near Microsoft it features vaulted ceilings, skylights, a gas fireplace and gleaming hardwood floors. Light filled day rooms have big windows looking out to private courtyard, deck and patio. The versatile spaces make for great day to day living but offer unique opportunity for the serious entertainer and collector with unparalleled display and storage space.

Three bedrooms/2 full baths up. Oversized master suite has ample room for king or queen bed, double door entry flanked by a wall of bookcases plus reading area, big walk-in closet and separate vanity area plus full bath. Two additional bedrooms and full bath up. The third bedroom has been opened up to dining area below ï¿½ working from this home office would be great.

The finished lower level has two additional rooms, full bath and utility area. Each room has door out to private patio area. Attached two car garage is secure and oversized.

Custom detailing set this home apart. French doors leading, slab granite counters, oodles of clear vertical cabinetry throughout, gas range, double ovens, even a wine cooler and pot filler!

French doors lead out to deck, patio and side courtyard making it great for summer barbecues or just hanging out. Mature landscaping with signature plants for a delightful play of color and texture throughout the year.

A must see for the discriminating buyer.

Bitter Lake is meeting Place for Parks and Recreation

Nancy House — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 15:02:00 GMT

The Bitter Lake Community Center will host the last meeting to finalize the Parks and Recreation Plans for the upcoming year.

The Bitter Lake and Broadview neighborhoods have a lot of citizen participation and broad community involvement in the goings on surrounding them. i think that is part of why there is so much cool stuff in and around the neighborhood. Their neighborhood association has organized groups that encourage feedback from owners, renters, seniors, disabled and more. All working together to make their location one that provides lots of opportunities for improved recreation, transportation, parks, and more. Not only do you get to help shape your community but you meet your neighbors in the process, all aspects of having a great neighborhood to be part of.

The best part is that there is a good selection of affordable housing. Check out our listing at

12531 Fremont Ave N. Sunny and light filled and only $310,000.

Holidays and Seattle Real Estate

Nancy House — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 10:28:00 GMT

OK We are almost into the New Year. You might be wondering how this affects our Seattle Real Estate. In my 30+ years of experience Selling Seattle Real Estate there are predictable trends. First, your best buys as a buyer are made in late November and December. You buyers only have a few days left to beat your fellow buyers to the punch. The good news for sellers whose houses are on the market right now is that within weeks there will be new buyers starting to look and take advantage of these great rates and a market that still favors the buyer and the inventory is low so there is less to choose from. And your house should be one of them!

Right now there are sellers thinking about selling their house, making the list of projects that need to be done prior to selling their Seattle home and looking for a Seattle Residential Specialist. These new properties will be coming on the market and be competition which is why it is really important to get your house priced right and presented at its best.

Does that mean the buyers should wait for these NEW properties to come on the market. Definitively NO, do not wait as a buyer. If you see the house you want right now you should buy it. Residential real estate is a very special market. There is only one house with that floor plan on that site in that neighborhood. If it is what you are looking for, especially in this current market with news of interest rates rising, then make the plunge. If it there now go for it. Don't wait for more inventory and a bigger selection. You will also be waiting for more buyers to come into the market

Hope this has helped you understand of our Seattle Residential Market. We have lots of experience and have been watching the trends and traffic so we can help you figure out what is the best time to buy or sell and how to maximize your position Give us a call or shoot an email, We are happy to help.
