Here’s what I always tell my buyers: Get pre-approved first – It’s the strongest way to show sellers you’re serious and helps you stay within budget. Know your true numbers – Don’t just look at the price. Factor in property taxes, HOA dues, insurance, and maintenance so you’re never caught off guard. Focus on location – In Sammamish, Bellevue, and Kirkland, neighborhoods and school districts matter for both lifestyle and resale value. You can change a home’s interiors, but not its location. Separate must-haves from nice-to-haves – This keeps you focused when emotions run high. Be ready to act quickly – In competitive markets, the best homes don’t last. I guide my clients in writing strong, smart offers that balance protection with appeal. Always do your due diligence – Even in fast-moving markets, inspections or pre-inspections can save you from costly surprises. Think long-term – Look for a home that fits not just today, but the next 5–7 years of your life.

When I guide sellers in Sammamish, Bellevue, or Kirkland, here’s the advice I give: Price it right from the start – Overpricing can cause your home to sit on the market. A strategic, well-researched price attracts more buyers and often leads to stronger offers. First impressions matter – Curb appeal, staging, and professional photos make your home stand out online and in person. Declutter and depersonalize – Buyers want to picture themselves living in the home, so create a clean and neutral canvas. Highlight location and lifestyle – Showcase nearby schools, parks, and community features that add value. Market with intention – In today’s digital world, strong marketing means professional photography, video tours, social media, and targeted exposure. Be flexible with showings – The easier it is for buyers to view your home, the faster it sells. Work with the right Realtor® – A skilled agent negotiates, markets, and manages details so you achieve the best results with less stress.
