SOLD!! Riverwalk View Home in Auburn WA

By

Beautiful resale opportunity in prized Riverwalk Community with territorial view and magnificent sunsets. Home is in wonderful shape & shows pride of ownership!

1999 Centex tri-level features 3 bedrooms, 2½ baths, with a wonderful open kitchen & family room concept, keeping the cook part of the action while nicely splitting the two rooms. For more formal occasions, you’ll also appreciate the separate living room and dining room.

Huge windows in kitchen plus vaulted ceilings in living & dining rooms add height and massive daylight. The private backyard is perfect for summer BBQ’s on the patio!

Central air & gas heat with heat pump & fireplace in family room make for year-round comfort. From the Berber carpeting inside–to the sprinkler system outside for easy yard upkeep–to the “just pressure wash me” vinyl siding, this home is easy-care from start to finish.

Don’t miss out. This may be a short sale, but everyone is on-board for a successful transaction!

Another Maple Valley Closed Sale!

By

With great thanks to everyone involved, I’m pleased to announce the closed sale of this absolutely wonderful home in Valley Meadows. With multiple offers, we were able to come to contract within about a week of listing.

SOLD-Front

 The honor roll includes:

  • Brandon – the Buyer
  • Dean & Debbie – the Sellers
  • Andy – the relocation rep
  • Sara and Rob from Stewart Title – the title and escrow folks
  • Josh Hall – the Buyer’s broker
  • Dave Jagosh of Pacific NW Home Inspections – the Seller’s inspector
  • and me of course – the Seller’s broker

So … how was it done?

My clients (the Sellers) were fantastic. They prepped the house exactly as suggested, including having the home pre-inspected, then completed everything on the inspection list. It helped that we used one of the very best inspectors in the area – in fact the seller’s inspector also turned out to be the preferred inspector for the Buyer.

We did some careful marketing, targeting the home in the MLS with a full-fledged suite of photos, along with adding another 30 or so photos on my Web site, along with being sure the listing appeared on several hundred other sites.

Did we have careful talks about price? You betcha! The right price brought the expected offers with fully preapproved Buyers. With a bit of negotiation, everyone was thrilled!
