Just for Buyers 

    

     I really enjoy working with Buyers.  My approach to finding you your next home is simple.  I listen and I preview.  While I do the leg work, you get to enjoy your precious time.  After searching out homes that I know you will enjoy, you have the task of choosing between more than one home that meets or exceeds your requirements.  More people find this an enviable position to be in.

Buying Property in the State of Washington

     All states are not the same.  In Washington, the process goes something like this:

          You contact your lender so that you will know how much you will feel comfortable spending.
               (I have a wonderful lender that I like to work with if you need one).
          You contact me to let me know how much and what kind of home you would like.
          I find you a home and we make an offer.
          We negotiate the offer hopefully to the point of acceptance.
          After acceptance, Earnest Money is deposited in Escrow.
          A property inspection is scheduled at your cost ($300 - $500) usually.
          If you decide after the inspection that you want to proceed, then the inspection is negotiated.
          If you decide after the inspection that you don't want to proceed, then your Earnest Money is returned
          Approximately 30 days after the inspection has been negotiated, you move into your new home.
               (This amount of time is open for negotiation.)
               (You do not have to be present at closing.)
               (Closing documents can be sent anywhere in the world if you are traveling during the process.)

     If you have any other questions about the purchasing process, just give me a call or drop me an email.

Real Estate Agents in the State of Washington

     In the State of Washington any person can take a two week class, pass a test, and become a real estate salesperson.  A high school education is not required.  Each two years, the State Department of Licensing requires 30 hrs of continuing education to maintain a license.

     Real Estate Salespeople wanting to join a professional association can pay a fee and join the National Association of Realtors and become Realtors.  The National Association of Realtors, along with state and local organizations, work hard to provide their members with educational opportunities and the opportunity to earn designations.

     A Real Estate Salesperson, while having at least a high school education, can take an additional 120 hrs of education, meet time requirements, and pass the Brokers Examination to become a Broker or Associate Broker.  A Broker and an Associated Broker take the same examination.  An Associate Broker is simply the title of a Broker who works for another Broker.  Only Brokers are licenses to transact real estate.  Real Estate Salespeople must work for a Broker, and Brokers should have procedures in place to make sure that all activity of Salespeople under their supervision is legal.  Disciplinary action is taken by local associations and state agencies against Real Estate Salespeople and Brokers who are caught acting in an illegal manner.

     I am a Broker.  It is my desire to get you the best value possible on the property of your choosing and to make the process as enjoyable as possible.

Give me a call at (425) 260-2014, email me, or send me a text.  I am here to help.

     Need to get your property sold back home before moving here?  Give me a call, I can help.  I know how to find the right Realtor for you.  I know what it takes to get a property sold and I will happily do the research to find out who is truly offering the right quality of service in your area.
