JUST SOLD
 
Bellevue, Washington

 Bellevue, WA, USA

 Make sure your broker can fight for you when it matters! 
 
Congratulations to my client Bhaskar!
 
 
This one was a doozy! I got to sell this one twice! Initially this went under contract in just 3 days. We made it right up to the day of closing, when the buyer got cold feet and backed out! Instead of panicking, I relied on my detailed file documentation and legal knowledge to secure the buyers earnest money for my client, the very same day!!!! I relisted the house for sale the very next day. It went under contract again in three days for all cash, well over asking price, and it closed in a week. My client could not have been happier with his results.

Buying your first home can be really intimidating!
 
Congratulations to Shelby on her very first home purchase!
 
As a first time home buyer, make sure your broker has the patience and the expertise to educate you along the way and deliver exactly what you dreamed of! This was quite an adventure! I had the best time touring with Shelby and her parents, who kept a very watchful eye on me as I carefully guided their daughter through the home buying process. They were so pleased, they have asked me to help them sell their home! What an honor and a compliment that was!!!
 
I purchased this for my client at asking price, I ensured she was confident with each step along the way, making sure she understood every single detail of the transaction, and we even closed early! My client found the place of her dreams, and is now happily decorating and enjoying her very own first home!

This market is so hot, if you are not selling now, you are missing the boat!!!!

The current real estate market in King county and the surrounding Snohomish and Pierce counties have gone off the rails! Houses are selling in days, some in hours, with competing offers with unheard of power. Buyers are bidding fiercely, waiving contingencies altogether, offering loads of cash, and quick closing dates. I have seen a very cute, but very small rambler in Redmond sell for 100K over asking, with over 20 competitive offers, in 3 days. That is unreal! Others are receiving over 30 offers, mainly all cash. Simply amazing.

If you have been even toying with the idea of selling a house, you should take advantage of this very rare opportunity while you can.

Give me a call, and I will help you make the very best rate of return on your investment, with an amazing sale!

Now is the time. Lets get you started.

A wonderful testimonial

Compliments nowadays are a rare gift. When received, it usually teaches us something both about ourselves and the person giving the compliment. I am always humbled and delighted to hear such kind words. Especially from someone who is not only a client, but a colleague in the same industry. As colleagues of an industry, we naturally tend to hold each other to an even higher standard than the rest as far as work ethic and results are concerned, as we understand the process to some degree.

Thank you Fady, for such a well written and kind compliment. I truly appreciate it. It was my sincere pleasure working with you and Tahzeen. I look forward to helping you both again in the future. You can be sure of that!

Erin

“I met Erin at my place of business, over time we got to know each other and I have always enjoyed the few minutes we spent while there talking, she was always very pleasant. My wife and I had begun searching for our first home, when I mentioned this to Erin, she let me know that she was more than willing to help us find a home, I let her know that I might be a bit of a difficult customer as I ask a lot of questions and like to pay close attention to detail. Erin assured us that was not going to be an issue and that she was going to be there for us through the entire process, and boy was she right! We were incredibly impressed with the service, professionalism, and responsiveness of Erin, I can’t find enough to say about what she did for us. She was always available to discuss details of properties and schedule showings, all we had to do was tell her that we wanted to see a home and she set up a showing unbelievably quick. Erin has a wealth of knowledge and it was just a joy to be able to learn so much from her! Erin made our first home buying experience easy and fun, we were absolutely impressed with everything she did for us from her responsiveness to her knowledge and expertise. Erin really went above and beyond for us, I am absolutely sure of that! I am already recommending her to family and friends. Thank you once again, Erin!”

Congratulations to my amazing clients Fady and Tahzeen! 

A huge thank you to the entire team that worked on this transaction. Chicago Title and Escrow of Everett did a fantastic job ensuring both buying and selling clients’ needs were met. Their attention to detail was exceptional and that was proven in their results! A big thank you to Cheryl Buck and team of Buck Realty in Lake Stevens, Wa. You were all a sincere pleasure to work with. Luke Welling and team of TILA lending did an over the top job, ensuring my first time buyers’ questions were answered and every detail of the timeline was explained. The transaction closed early and everyone was pleased. 

Job well done!

I had such a great time with these clients. Their fun personalities meant every visit was a good time. It was their first home buying experience and I enjoyed teaching them all about each new step along the way. We had a great time touring homes and once we found just the right fit, I was able to negotiate this purchase below asking price with all closing costs paid by the seller, and it closed early.

 In this hot seller’s market, that is unheard of. 

Happy clients, happy broker!

The most important part of my job is ensuring that the results my clients expect, are the results they receive or better. Listening to them and sincerely caring about what is important to them, their family and their future, is the way I accomplish this goal. I meticulously design every transaction to meet my clients’ expectations and then I go that extra mile to surpass them. 

 I do this because I care.

 

Getting to see my clients smile, hearing them say thank you and knowing they feel valued and fulfilled, that is my best reward.

 

 If these are the results you would like to see in your next property purchase or sale, then we should meet. I ensure all of my clients receive extraordinary results in an effortless fashion. 

 

My clients matter. Call me. 

The time to sell is right now. The time to buy is right now. 

Do not miss this hot market.

“The best part of my job is seeing my clients smile, when their dreams become their reality.”

Extraordinary, Savvy, Results

The lost art of saying Thank You.
Erin Harold Newsletter | February 29, 2016
So often in our world today, we are all just too busy. Busy with work, busy with family.
Busy, busy, busy.
As a result, it has become a rare thing that we ever hear a thank you. More often, the only time we hear from someone about our work, is when someone has something unkind to say.
 
I, for one, would like to see the lost art of saying thank you return in full effect. 
 
I find thank you’s and compliments to be both humbling, and eye opening. It is so interesting to see yourself through the eyes of others. Especially when those thank you’s and compliments come from a colleague in your own industry, for no other reason than they felt you deserved it. 
 
Today I received this little testimonial from a colleague who I admire a great deal. She is looked up to by many for her attention to detail, highly respected for her many years of experience and renown for her high level of standards in our industry. I was so very proud to receive such a compliment from someone so revered, that I thought I would share it.
 
So often things like this go unnoticed.
 
 
 
“I have known Erin for about 5 years now and have been consistently blown away by her commitment to her clients. Many Agents will throw this saying around but I have been able to see firsthand just what that means to Erin. Her clients can expect someone who is highly versed in not only Real Estate law but someone who is a killer negotiator and is relentless in helping her clients get the home of their dreams and/or to be able to sell their home fast and usually above asking with a clean and fast closing. Her depth of personal care in unparalleled; her top concern truly is her clients happiness and helping them achieve their Real Estate goals. In this current market a lot of her success depends on her thinking outside the box to help find inventory that most other Agents wouldn’t, she is tireless in making sure her clients are educated to the process and know all of their options, giving them every resource they could possibly need. Living, working and raising a family in the local area gives her a better understanding of what each community has to offer and thus helping you find the right community for you and your family. I have and will continue to recommend my close personal friends and family to her since I know she will care for them and work as hard for them as I would, and that is the best compliment I can give really.”  – Rochelle
 

 

Thank you, Rochelle, for taking the time to recognize my hard work and effort with such a glowing statement. I appreciate it a great deal. Sincerely.
 
And to this I say: The reason for my hard work is simple……
My clients mean the world to me. I treat them accordingly. 

Call me. 

I look forward to meeting you.

Proof positive – Do you love your job?

Proof positive – Why do you use your broker?
Erin Harold Newsletter | February 16, 2016

               When I attend an appointment that should take 30 minutes to an hour, but I hit it off so well, that everyone is laughing, telling stories and having a great time, the time can pass quickly. I realize I’ve actually been there for 3 hours, and the only thing that tipped me off: It was now getting dark outside. I love my job and it so rarely feels like work, that I am very grateful. I believe this has a lot to do with the sincere working relationships I build with my clients. In having worked with clients for over 25 years, I have learned one thing. Integrity, caring, attention to detail and sincerity are everything.

                I love meeting new people, getting to know them and their families. I really enjoy listening to the stories they have about the history of their homes. Touring the property together, leads them to a memory in each room and in every corner of the yard. This in turn, has a story to go along with it. I get to experience this story as they start to daydream about how this all led them to where they want to go next and what is important to them in that process. It really is a huge part of what allows me to create the perfect description of the home I sell for them and how I am able to find them the perfect match when we buy something new. The magic of being a Sotheby’s International Realty agent, means I can do this for them anywhere in the world their dreams may lead them. 

                 Does your broker make you feel like you are an old friend, that they have known for years? Do they REALLY care about you and what is important to you, your family and your lives? Does passing time with them feel natural and enjoyable? Do they take care of every detail, tailored to your requests, so you can relax? Do they listen to you and are they able to instill the confidence that they have actually heard you? Do they deliver the exact results that you wanted? Do they have the experience, the advanced education and expert level execution to help you achieve success?

No?

Then why do you use them?

Call me. My clients matter. 

I look forward to meeting you.
