YOUR SEATTLE AREA REAL ESTATE EXPERT
Hello, I’m Virginia! Thanks for stopping by. I’m a Windermere real estate broker with extensive experience helping my clients buy and sell single family homes and condominiums in Seattle’s close-in neighborhoods like Leschi, Seward Park, Beacon Hill, Madrona, Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, Fremont, and Ballard. My clients like working with me because I translate that experience into real results for them: from a smoother, better-organized and more profitable home sale experience for sellers to a fuller understanding of different neighborhood characteristics (including transportation, schools, shopping, and sales and appreciation history) for buyers.
A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE
I have represented a wide range of clients in countless transactions in the Seattle area over the years: first-time homebuyers, investors, for sale by owner purchases, move-up sales, and down-sizing to retirement home sales. My clients’ purchases and sales have ranged from single family homes to condos, townhomes, and multi-family buildings.
TODAY’S COMPLEX HOUSING MARKET
Our local housing market has been on a roller coaster these last few years, with huge price increases in the run-up to 2007; then steady decreases in the years that followed. Home values have once again been on the increase since the beginning of 2012, but the actual NUMBER of homes being offered for sale is lower now than it was. As a result, most homes that are in good condition in popular locations are getting multiple offers. You need to know how to structure your offer, if you’re a buyer, and what the reality of your home value is, if you’re a seller. There are still times when your transaction may involve the complications of short sale, bankruptcy, and/or foreclosure. Let me help.
MY COMMITMENT TO YOU
Buying or selling a property is a serious business – and involves a lot of money! – but I aim to make the process as stress-free as possible, while interacting with all parties with honesty, open communication, respect and humor. Don’t just take my word for it – see what my clients are saying about me. You can also learn more about my credentials here.
