Welcome to the home buyers section assisting buyers looking for Seattle real estate and homes for sale and the surrounding areas in King County, WA.

Hiring an realtor should be likened to hiring an accountant. You hire the accountant because they save you more money than they cost. Hiring a real estate agent should be no different. I will save you more money than I cost. Plus, you don't pay for me as a real estate buyer.

Hiring a discount broker to get a 3% rebate may seem interesting to you. but what seems more interesting saving 3% or over 10%on your next home purchase? On average I've saved my buyers 10% or more off the listed price. 

Here is how I save my clients tens of thousands of dollars.
