Real Estate sounds simple enough, but in reality there is a lot to consider. Knowledge is power, and an educated client is my best client. I suggest a simple three-step approach: Ready, Aim, Fire!
STEP 1 "READY": SELF-RESEARCH
Self-research allows you to proceed at your own pace and without having to contact a real estate professional. My site offers you a variety of information on buying a home, selling a home, and how to coordinate the transaction. Monthly I write a newsletter called "Dutch Talk". It contains "Straight Talking Seattle Area Real Estate Information". You can subscribe to it for free. Just click on this link and request "Newsletter". To help you understand all the issues surrounding buying and selling real estate in our area, I wrote The Book on Puget Sound Real Estate. The information will assist you in focusing your research and education process. The book is yours for FREE. Just fill out the order form and request "The Book".
STEP 2 "AIM": PRO-ASSISTED RESEARCH
Self-research provides you with great general information what you should do, either as a buyer or seller. Next, you need to apply that information to your specific situation. To do that, you need to consult a real estate professional. Many folks are reluctant to do so for fear of being "sold" or being asked to make a commitment before they are ready. So I created Real-Estate-Self-Support. My system provides you with professional assistance. And without any commitments or final decisions.
Buyers: Some types of buyer Real-Estate-Self-Support are
- Loan Consultation & pre-approval
- Home Search
- MarketVal (determining precise market value for the for-sale house)

- ReadySell Analysis (getting your house is top selling condition)
- Market Val (determining a precise market price for your house)

STEP 3 "FIRE": ACTION!
Finally, when you have completed your self-research and have received professional advice, you will have developed a clear plan of action and will be ready to move ahead in confidence - knowing that you are as prepared as you can possibly be.
LET ME TAKE YOU HOME, AT YOUR PACE
Go ahead, skim through the information on this site, or if you wish, order one of my many brochures or The Book on Puget Sound Real Estate and read at your leisure. Then, take advantage of my FREE Real-Estate-Self-Support system and let me help you apply all this information to your specific situation - no cost, no commitment, no pressure. Then, if you like what you see (and I think you will), I can help you execute your home buying or home marketing plans to take maximum advantage of today's opportunities.
