Buying a home feels easier when you have a local in your corner. Since I know Seattle and the Eastside block by block, I can tailor the search and the offer strategy to fit your life perfectly. I’m here to keep the process clear and calm so every decision you make is rooted in your goals.
Buying in Seattle rewards preparation, timing, and clear-eyed decisions. I focus on helping buyers understand why a home is priced the way it is, how it compares to recent sales, and what matters most long term.
Even strong buyers can get tripped up by Seattle-specific issues. These are some of the most common ones I help clients navigate:
Competition varies by neighborhood, price point, and property type. Some homes attract multiple offers quickly, while others sit if pricing or condition misses the mark.
Not always. Strong offers balance price and terms. Inspection and financing protections are still common when supported by clean presentation and lender strength.
In addition to a general inspection, sewer scopes, roof evaluations, and structural reviews are often important, especially for older homes.
Earnest money commonly ranges from 1–3% of the purchase price, depending on competitiveness and terms.
Condos require extra diligence. HOA reserves, budgets, rules, and upcoming assessments matter as much as the unit itself.
