Marketing your home
Impressing people with your home starts way before they enter the house. 80% of all buyers find their favorites online and tell their agents which homes they’d like to see. Potential buyers make a decision about whether they’re going to click on your house in two seconds. I realize this and so I market a little bit differently than other agents.

· If this is a short sale home, I’ll get in immediate contact with your lender to find out first who I should be contacting and next what their expectation will be.
· I’ll work with you to stage your house and clear the home of distractions.
· We’ll go over improvements to the property that pays off for the sell.
· I’ll hire professional photographers to take 15 or more photos’ that’ll make your listing pop off the Internet page. (Look at the properties section of this site and click on my listings to see.)

My marketing offers your real estate for sale to buyers nationwide.
In this market only those who need to buy a house for sale are buying. The largest majority of those needing to buy a home is Seattle are relocations. You may have noticed I didn’t mention much about print ads. The reason is simple, printing ads is a dinosaur’s method of marketing and I’d be leery of any agent boasting about their print advertising to you. The fact is only 3% of buyers find a home using print media. All agents have a marketing budget. Print ads are expensive and ineffective. 80% of those in the market to purchase a home use the Internet. I prefer to sell your home and to that end I invest my marketing budget in ads that works. I want your house to be the easiest property for sale in the area to find on the Internet. My methods work and I have a track record to prove it. If you need your house gone I’m the Seattle realtor to do it.
Short sale properties for sale
If you think your house may be a short sale I’ll help you decide if a short sale is right for you. There are options available to you that can help make your house more affordable through a loan modification or refinance. I’ll help you find the path that has the most benefit. I’m here to help even if it’s not to sell your home, but to guide you down the right path. I have attended dozens of short sale trainings and have closed more short sales than 98% of all agents in Washington. All of my clients debts have been forgiven by their banks with my help. The banks reported "paid as agreed" on their credit report. If a short sale is necessary I have a 100% success rate at getting the job done.
