Are you a buyer?
Being a buyer in today’s market can be very competitive. Let me show you how to put yourself a step ahead of the crowd! Once we have decided to work together, I will represent you every step of the way:
- Educating you on the process so that you can make informed decisions.
- Searching for a home through various forms of internet, networking, etc.
- Negotiation of purchase & sales agreements.
- Inspection, appraisal, financing and off to a smooth closing.
 Preparation is the key to a successful home buying process in our competitive Seattle Real Estate Market. The more information I can give you up front, the better decisions you will be able to make later when we find the perfect home for you. Prior to showing you properties, I will spend time educating you on the current market, as well as on the buying process, and will get to know you and what you are looking for. Our initial meeting will take about an hour and will cover the following:
- Learn about the current Real Estate market
- What is the average price of homes in the area you are targeting?
- What is the average length of time homes remain on the market?
- How many houses are currently available in your price range & location?
- What percent of the list price are homes selling for (are sellers taking offers below list price, or do you need to expect to pay full price or higher?)
Please call me to schedule your “no-obligation” consultation.
Weekend appointments also available.

Why would someone want to get started investing in real estate?
"It's tangible, it's solid, it's beautiful. It's artistic, from my standpoint, and I just love real estate."
-Donald Trump
 Stop paying Rent! The number one thing to do for your self is to stop paying rent. If you pay rent, you are likely paying someone else’s mortgage payment for them, or you are putting cash in their bank account (not yours)! There are many reasons why you should consider buying real estate... here are a few of the tops reasons:
Leverage: If you can arrange a down payment, (sometimes as little as 3% or less of the purchase price) the banks will usually lend you the rest in the form of a loan. If you were to try and borrow money from a bank to put into the stock market, they bank would not lend you the money.
Tax Benefits: The tax benefits for property owners are far greater than most other categories. Renters do not get tax benefits.
Building Wealth: How many people do you know or have heard of that are wealthy? They all own some form of real estate. Over time, real estate tends to appreciate, which means your money appreciates.
Change Your Life: How would your life change if you paid off your mortgage? What would you do with the extra money?
Question: How would your life change if you owned your home, plus one other home free and clear? What if you rented the second home and lived off the rent money? What if you bought a third… It all starts with taking action on the first one!
“Buy 4 green houses, then trade up to a red hotel…” -Robert Kiyosaki 
Start with a plan.
What do you need to do in order to get where you want to be? How long will it take? The biggest question is, what happens if you don’t start now?
"Only you can control your destiny!"
-Robert Kiyosaki
Is it risky? Surround your self with education, put the right team of people around you, and learn to make smart educated choices, not speculated guesses.
Ordinary people CAN achieve great things!
