About Me
I learned to love marketing homes when I started a property management career in college. Working to pay the bills while getting my BA in Communication Studies from Seattle University, I quickly excelled and moved up the management ladder. Eventually, I took the leap into selling homes instead of leasing them, and never looked back! I now specialize in providing exceptional marketing to every property I represent. I pride myself on being on top of the latest technology, and in using that technology to provide the highest level of service to my clients.
My husband, Bryce and I have two boys under 3, so we're always busy enjoying our family and our businesses. We wouldn't trade this life for anything. When I'm not selling real estate, you're likely to find me with at least one of my kids strapped to my back, hiking up a mountain. See you at the top!
It's all about marketing!
I love my life and my career, which allows me to hold myself to the highest standards of innovative marketing. My clients trust me to do everything I can to showcase their homes in the best possible light.
I do this by using one of the Seattle area's best real estate photographers. I believe that I can create a higher-end brand identity for each home I list, which helps my clients' homes sell faster and for substantially more money than they would otherwise. I have a Days on Market Average that is below the market, and below most of my competitors!
The highest quality images are combined with professionally designed fliers, savvy internet marketing, and video tours to ensure the highest level of buyer exposure. I'm always working on new ways to market homes, and don't stop working until the deal is CLOSED.
Client Service Comes First
Within reason, I try to always be available to my clients whenever they need me. Selling or buying a home is an emotional and stressful process, and it's my job to make it easier for my clients. Real estate is complicated, sometimes confusing, and always unpredictable, and buyers and sellers need someone they can trust to guide them through the process putting their needs first.
Once a home is under contract, my job isn't over. For all the bumps in the road, my clients need someone who can pull resources together as well as manage vendors and services. When problems arise, as the often do in this business, sellers and buyers need someone who can work hard, not take no for an answer (from vendors, not my clients!), and get the job done! I have a track record for not letting up, and solving problems few other agents would even dream of tackling.

M,
If staging and photography are what's important to you, please visit my website below. I provide staging services to all of my clients, regardless of the price range. Whether it's bringing in a few floral arrangements, helping to clear away clutter, and slipcovering existing furniture; or bringing in pieces of my own to fill a vacant home, I do whatever is necessary to make a home look its best on the market.
I then bring in one of Seattle's premiere architectural photographers to take the photos. He uses a full lighting setup, and has the skills and the experience to get wide-angle shots that realistically and beautifully showcase the home. My fliers are professionally designed, and my print media is always top quality.
Marketing is so important in this market more than ever. I truly believe that if you're paying a full-fee, your agent should truly be "full service," and give you all the best marketing possible to give your home the greatest competitive advantage in the market.
I'd love to send you my portfolio if you're interested in knowing more.

Steve is right, Northshore is a great school district. If commute is important to you, I'd try to stick to the King County side of Bothell, as there are some parts of Bothell that can be pretty far out there, commute-wise. For more information about Bothell, you can also check out this website for community reports and statistics.
Good luck and let me know if I can be of help in any other way!

Joi,
It sounds like a very difficult situation you're in. Unfortunately, you sound like you're caught in the midst of an investment scheme that does lease/buyback scenarios, betting the original owner won't be able to keep the terms of the contract, and they'll take ownership of the property.
You should talk to your realtor about what steps you can take at this juncture to regain ownership of your home.

Hi Synthia!
You're smart to try to buy instead of throwing your money away on renting. Now is a great time to buy, as there is more inventory available and many sellers are more motivated to price aggressively than they have been in years past. There are a few condos available in the Alki area that have balconies in that price range, but few with patio space.
My best advice would be to choose a Realtor who works in the Seattle market, and is truly a full-service agent. When I take on a new client like you, I first meet with the buyer to discuss all their needs in a home very specifically. Once I have an idea for the client's needs and tastes, I can search specifically for homes that match their criteria. I preview all homes before showing them to my clients, which not only saves my clients time, it also means that sometimes I can find a home for them they would never have found by searching the internet alone.
If you're looking to buy something as specific as a condo/townhome which will allow 2 large dogs and have patio space, you definitely will be well-served to select a good agent. I've been representing other buyers looking in the Alki and West Seattle markets lately, and would love to meet with you to discuss your needs and begin to help you find a home! Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help!

Victor,
Unfortunately, the inspection contingency is conditioned upon the buyers subjective satisfaction with the inspection, and doesn't lay out any rules for documentation. Standard practice is to include the section of the inspection report relevant to the request, but it's not a hard and fast rule.
My best advice would be to have your agent request more documentation from the buyers. If they refuse to elaborate as to the basis for their requests, you have to decide if it's worth it to give in to their requests in order to sell your home. Your agent is your best asset at this point, and hopefully you've chosen a skilled negotiator who can get you the best possible outcome.
Good luck!
