"I wanted to write to commend a truly outstanding real estate agent, Donita Dickinson. Recently, I purchased a waterfront home in Seattle. I was faced with the problem of looking for a new home with an impossible travel schedule. I also had very particular needs since I needed a home large enough for a caregiver and an elderly mother to live in separate quarters. Another agent said that she knew a truly extraordinary agent who would be able to deal with my difficult schedule and unique needs. Donita was everything the other agent promised and more! I have purchased a number of homes in my life and had the usual good and bad experiences. Donita was extraordinary. Although I considered myself a sophisticated real estate consumer, I learned a great deal from Donita. She was a good listener, had great ideas, did her homework, provided accurate and complete information, had good instincts, was able to communicate with me (to adjust to my way of understanding and digesting information), and was an excellent representative for me. The closing was flawless. Donita has been the most helpful professional I have dealt with in years. I have and will continue to recommend her to my colleagues. I am one very satisfied customer."

"I'm sure you've heard many accolades poured upon Donita Dickinson. You may even be tired of hearing them - but my daughter Mavis and I want to express our pleasure and satisfaction in working with her. She was professional, competent, friendly, extremely hard working and very patient. In public opinion, real estate agents probably rank down there with lawyers and for many, deservedly so. I've shopped for homes in many areas of the country. I know it's a difficult and demanding business. I know the effect that has on many agents. Donita is an exception and we felt fortunate to have happened into her hands. Did I mention her unquestionable integrity? She is a treasure."

"I can't thank you enough for everything you did during the recent marketing and sale of my home in Bellevue, Washington. With my very busy travel schedule, it would have been impossible for me to have my house ready to show during the premier summer relocation period without your dedicated assistance. Your willingness to coordinate with my carpeting contractor in my absence was critical to meeting our timeframe for getting the house on the market. And taking on the responsibility of finding qualified firms to do both the roof replacement and the interior cleaning allowed me to concentrate on my new job in my new city without having to worry about those tasks getting done back home. Finally, I very much appreciate the way you dealt with the buyer and her real estate agent on my behalf. I know that could have been a very difficult and unpleasant situation, were it not for the fact that you handled it in a most professional and tactful manner. You are not only the best real estate agent I have ever dealt with, but you are one of the most competent professionals I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Please feel free to use me as a reference for any future potential clients that require one. I'd wish you the best of luck in the future, but I know you don't need it. You will continue to be successful based upon hard work and a willingness to go the "extra mile" for your clients."

"We appreciate Donita's honesty and integrity. She was extremely patient and attentive to our needs. We really enjoyed working with Donita and getting to know her on a personal level. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a home."

What does under Arch homebuyer guidelines mean?

Asked Mon Mar 23 2009, 17:17 by Coni & Rob B… - Home Buying in Kirkland - 5 answers

Donita Dickinson answered:

It means that when the unit/home was constructed the builder worked with the city to offer it as affordable housing. Meaning that there are income qualifiers. The dollar amount varies by the size of the unit and number of people in your household. Common Maximum Incomes For ARCH Home Ownership Program 2008 listed below.

Unit Type Household Size 120% 100% 90% 80%

Studio 1 Person $68,376 $56,980 $51,282 $45,584
2 Person $78,144 $65,120 $58,608 $52,096

1 Bdrm 1 - 2 Person $78,144 $65,120 $58,608 $52,096
2 Bdrm 1- 3 Person $87,912 $73,260 $65,934 $58,608
3 Bdrm 2 - 4 Person $97,680 $81,400 $73,260 $65,120

The program also stipulates that the property must be owner occupied and when you sell it, the city sets the price by using a formula based off of the original sales price and an appreciation index. The city has first right of refusal to purchase. If they don't purchase it, the new buyer has to be qualified under the ARCH income guidelines.

Essentially it's a program that allows lower income families to purchase homes in neighborhoods that they traditionally wouldn't be able to. The resale guidelines are set in place to keep affordable housing available in the future. - Mon Mar 23 2009, 20:48
