homes.wenatcheeworld.com Homefinder’s North Central Washington WEEKEND From the KCM Blog April 9, 2012 If you are either buying or selling a home in today’s market, you need a real estate expert. However, we must realize what the term ‘expert’ actually means. An expert in any area cannot give perfect advice as no one can predict the future. But they can give excellent advice based on their insight into their field. If you go to an attorney with a legal challenge, he/she will look over your case and give you your options. They realize they cannot guarantee the outcome of any of the options. Still, they give the best advice possible and allow you to decide the option with which you feel most comfortable. They then will put together a strategy which hopefully will bring about the most favorable conclusion. If you go to a doctor with a serious ailment, he/she will give you your options and work with you to develop the best treatment program. They cannot guarantee any program’s success. They will, however, monitor your progress and adjust your treatments or medications. They will stand next to you until the best result is achieved. Real estate is no different. A true real estate professional will understand your options and simply and effectively explain them to you and your family. Once you chose an option, they will strategize a plan to help you accomplish your goals. They will standby you as the process evolves and will help you make the necessary adjustments if necessary. They cannot see the future any better than doctors or attorneys and thus their advice will never be perfect. However, just like those other professionals, an expert agent will give you excellent advice that will bring about the best possible outcome.

DISCOUNT PERCENTAGES VARY BY STATE, include discounts for having multiple Allstate policies/products and are subject to terms and availability. Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company, Northbrook, IL. © 2010 Allstate Insurance Company. I can help you save money. The more you insure with Allstate, the less you pay. In fact, safe drivers who insure their home and car can save up to 45% on car insurance. Add coverage for your motorcycle, boat or ATV and save even more. Call me first to see how much you can save. What got you into Real Estate and what keeps you there? I worked in the interior design industry and discovered the power of design to improve people’s lives. From there I became very aware of home values as it directly affected the advice I gave to my clients on home improvements. It was interesting to see what appealed to buyers, what improvements added value to properties, and why certain things did not add appeal or value. I decided to become a real estate broker because I loved all aspects of homes and real estate from the start of my career and still do. Where were you born and where did you grow up? I was born in Springfield, Oregon and I grew up in the Seattle area. What is the most interesting property you have ever listed or sold? Five years ago I listed the 15,000 square foot, circa-1938 Denmark school and teacher’s cottage in Ellensburg. The Denmark School was part of local School District 12 which was established in 1889. I then sold it to my clients, a teacher and an elementary school principle in the Wahluke School District. Since their ownership, the couple has put tens of thousands of dollars into the aging build- ing’s interior renovation as a residence. What is the most gratifying/challenging thing about the Real Estate Business right now? The most gratifying thing about the Real Estate Business right now is repeat busi- ness with people that came into my life as complete strangers, became satisfied clients, then friends and repeat clients. My goal is to become your Real estate broker for life not just for one transaction. Repeat business is one of the most gratifying things about this business. It means you did the job right the first time and that is my goal every time. The most challenging thing for me about this business right now is overcoming the incessant negativity about the market. Clearly we are in a troubled market and no amount of “happy talk” here will fix the problems. My choice is to work with my clients, sticking to a “let’s get tougher than the market” message. Let’s develop an aggressive marketing plan and very strong Internet presence for our listings. Let’s network harder, create irresistible curb appeal that will get buyers through your door, make the property readily available and easy to show at all times, make the listing stand out in every possible way. Which living person(s) do you most admire? I most admire my daughter and my son, ages 17 and 14. Watching them grow into the beautiful, talented, creative, and brilliant people they have become has been my greatest joy. I am forever grateful for every moment with them and they never cease to amaze me. I am so incredibly fortunate to have them in my life. What tip would you give to someone buying and/or selling Real Estate in this market? Work closely with your agent. Take his/her suggestions seriously. If he/she says you should get a new doormat to 1. freshen up the front entry and replace the tattered one or remove the dogs for a showing, it’s important. Sellers- Be careful not to price homes based on key past market values, such as the purchase price of the property, 2. the market value at the time of the most recent refinance or what a comparable property sold for in the past. Your agent can help you determine the most realistic price point for your property using current market values. Buyers- Before you do anything, contact a Realtor. Buying a home is a very important financial decision. It only 3. makes sense to meet with a Realtor, outline your goals, identify potential problems, get advice on neighborhoods, get referrals to lenders that offer VA, FHA, USDA or other great mortgage programs that may save you thousands of dollars and get referrals to other professionals that will help you through the real estate transaction. What special memberships do you have as a Realtor and what does that mean for your clients? As an active member of the North Central Washington Multiple Listing Service (NCWMLS) AND the Northwest Multiple Listing Service (NWMLS), I can place listings into two completely different Multiple Listing Service databases. This is extremely important as most buyers search for properties mainly online. Marketing the property in two MLS systems guarantees it can be seen by buyers searching not just in our local market area but across King County, Pierce County and many others. Belonging to both MLS systems guarantees the greatest possible exposure for my client’s listings. In addition to the two MLS memberships, I am a member of the North Central Washington Association of Realtors, Kittitas County Association of Realtors, Washington Association of Realtors, and the National Association of Realtors. I am proud to be part of the largest Real Estate referral networks on local, state, and national levels. I have created a rich network of real people in all aspects of the real estate business over the years and am able to share those connections with my clients from the best lenders, the best inspectors, the best title/escrow companies and all people in between. These connections ensure smooth transactions. Even after the transaction is complete, I help my clients find moving experts, the best glass cleaners, housecleaning, carpet cleaners, contractors and more. I am a broker that works full time in the real estate market and holds memberships at the local, state and national levels because I feel I can best provide my clients with the service they deserve if I am available full time and very aware of the contacts they need, market conditions, changes and news at every possible level. What do you enjoy doing when you aren’t working? When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my kids, attending their sports activities, cooking, LOTS of DIY projects around the house, scrapbooking, hosting dinners and holiday events, helping friends design and decorate their spaces, photography and much more! I tend to stay very busy with all my projects and would rather be doing just about anything besides sitting or watching TV.

April 9, 2012If you are either buying or selling a home in today’s market, you need a real estate expert. However, we must realize what the term ‘expert’ actually means. An expert in any area cannot give perfect advice as no one can predict the future. But they can give excellent advice based on their insight into their fi eld.

If you go to an attorney with a legal challenge, he/she will look over your case and give you your options. They realize they cannot guarantee the outcome of any of the options. Still, they give the best advice possible and allow you to decide the option with which you feel most comfortable. They then will put together a strategy which hopefully will bring about the most favorable conclusion.

If you go to a doctor with a serious ailment, he/she will give you your options and work with you to develop the best treatment program. They cannot guarantee any program’s success. They will, however, monitor your progress and adjust your treatments or medications. They will stand next to you until the best result is achieved.

Real estate is no different. A true real estate professional will understand your options and simply and effectively explain them to you and your family. Once you chose an option, they will strategize a plan to help you accomplish your goals. They will standby you as the process evolves and will help you make the necessary adjustments if necessary.

Weighing The Options For Sale By Owner vs. Realtor

Do you know how to prepare your home for sale? An agent can make educated suggestions based on past experience that will aid in a professional presentation.

Are you knowledgeable in setting the right price for your home? An agent has specialized training and the ability to formulate a comparative market analysis to price your home competitively. A Realtor is aware of changing market conditions and will price your home accordingly with

optimum value in mind.

Do you know the most effective way to advertise? Choosing an agent will gain exposure to a network of over 5,000 agents, many with prospective buyers.

In addition, advertising including signs and multimedia will be managed by your real estate professional.

Are you prepared to qualify a legitimate buyer? An agent can pre-qualify prospective buyers in two ways:

1. Are they financially able to purchase your home?

2. Are they truly interested or on a sight-seeing tour?

Do you have the ability to negotiate the sale? An agent has no emotional ties with the property and can handle objections on a more neutral basis. Fielding

objections on price, terms, and amenities and handling them effectively is part of the training agents receive.

Are you prepared to field all the calls and make time to set and keep all appointments?

An agent will receive most of the calls and will schedule appointments accordingly.

Do you understand the steps that take place after an agreement has been reached? An agent will prepare a sales agreement that’s enforceable. They understand closing costs and the process

of Title and Escrow.

Before choosing to sell your home on your own, please weigh these questions and answers. At First American

Title we want to ensure your real estate experience is a positive one.
