Buyers Strategy

---

We create a custom search to locate and negotiate properties that are “off-market” and listed on the MLS. We target specific properties that have been owned for 15+ years that are located within your target neighborhoods. My search parameters also take into consideration the architecture/style of home, assessed value, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, lot size, school ratings, utilities, and land use/zoning. We are in an extremely competitive sellers’ market with limited inventory, so let us create and implement a pro-active strategy to secure your new dream home!

The real estate markets in Clallam, King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties is my specialty. I am a born native of Washington for over 45 years and have experienced first-hand the highs and lows of the housing market. I constantly research the market and have the ability to spot trends ahead of the curve. I take great pride in knowing the present value of the home considering what it will be worth in the future, so you and your family make a sound investment.

To the untrained eye this home looks like the deal of a lifetime, but what about the foundation? Roof that needs replacement in two years? Out-dated plumbing? Electrical that will need updating? Exterior siding issues? Cracked window seals? Termite damage? As a former ASHI Certified Home Inspector/WA State Structural Pest Inspector with 260 + inspections under my belt, I will be able to provide you with valuable insight to make the right decision not based on sole emotion. Most importantly, I can be an asset in multiple offer situations where your timelines are short, and you need to align resources quickly! I strongly advocate conducting a home inspection, sewer scope, and/or testing the water coming from a private well for flow/bacteria/nitrates, etc. 

Real estate contracts can be very overwhelming and full of pit falls if not examined properly. With my vast knowledge and experience with real estate contracts I can give you an advantage when it comes time to sign one of the most important documents you may ever sign. I will review, negotiate, and inform you of every fine detail of the contract taking into account your best interest.

I have real life experience as a Mortgage Broker with comprehensive knowledge of loan programs that are currently available and soon to be hitting the market. It is my job to educate you on the pros and cons of each program and the traditional closing costs that are a part of the transaction. I have surrounded myself with a great team of mortgage advisors and banks who can streamline the loan process and provide you with the most competitive interest rates in our market.

Each real estate negotiation will be unique, and it is imperative that I provide you with the best available price given the current market conditions with the most favorable terms. To make this happen, I draw from my positive and confident attitude, research and prepare a strategy prior to negotiation, and always be one step ahead of the other parties.

Purchasing a new home in this challenging market can be frustrating. I pride myself on taking as much off your plate as possible during this process, so you can focus your energy on other real-life issues. Everything involved with the purchase of your home will be taken care from finding the perfect home, getting the best financing, negotiating with the sellers, over-seeing escrow from start to finish, and servicing you after the deal has closed.

My winning ratio for multiple offer situations is extremely high due to my personalized approach with the listing agent and seller. I have created a very streamlined process with my team that makes you stand out from the pack to secure the home of your dreams!
