Woodinville Charmer
MLS # -1213523
Sold at: $630,000
Congratulations to my amazing clients, the Vedder family, on this successful sale. At first my clients were skeptical about re-listing, after having listed this property once before with another agent, and having it fall through. I patiently walked them through their options. Once I re-listed it for them, it sold in 3 days, over asking price and closed on time with no issues. This is the magic that exceptional marketing, experience and skill can do for you.It is so important to use a realtor that has what it takes to make you a success and one that has access to international marketing to bring you the buyer.
Only Sotheby’s International Realty can give you that.
The proof is in the result. 
This one was hit out of the park. 
 
A note from Mr. Vedder:
“Well it is been a long strange journey,but the sale of our Woodinville house has finally closed. I cannot say enough about our listing agent Erin Harold of Sothebys in Redmond. She just flat worked her butt off, day and night for months on this. Could not have done it without her. If you are looking for a realtor that will go
the extra mile for you I highly recommend her.”
 
Thanks Mr. Vedder!
Thanks to both of you for trusting me to help you with your sale.
 It was my pleasure, sincerely.
I love my job!

CALLING ALL BUYERS AND SELLERS !!!

CALLING ALL BUYERS AND SELLERS !!!
Erin Harold Newsletter | December 4, 2017
A House for the Holidays 

 

Why It Makes Sense to Buy a Home at Year’s End

 
1. Less Competition – There may be fewer homes available, but there are also fewer home buyers and that equals less competition for you. 
 
2. Motivated Sellers – Combine motivated sellers with decreased competition and you have great leverage to get a better deal.
 
3. Lower Prices – December historically has lower home prices than any other month of the year.
 
4. Faster Closings – As a general rule, everyone involved in a holiday real estate transaction wants to complete the transaction before the end of the year.
 
5. Better Interest Rates – Interest rates are still near historical lows, so you may be surprised at the savings.
 
6. Motivated Agents –  Lower activity in the Winter housing market means that real estate agents are dealing with fewer clients and have more time to devote to you. 
 
7. Related Seasonal Sales –  Need new furniture or other items for your new home? Plenty of seasonal clearance sales will be available to help you apply your personal touch.
 
This article from MoneyTips.com, is a great example of why you should definitely buy a home this time of year. Follow the link below for the full article. 
 
A NOTE TO BUYERS:
 
 Make sure you have a strong agent with advanced education and exceptional negotiating experience to help you in your search for a new home.
As one of the top agents in our area, I will ensure you are a success in this competitive buyers market, every time. 
 

___________________________________________________________________________

 
 
HOME OWNERS: THE TIME TO SELL, IS NOW. 
 
2017 was, yet again, a strong seller’s market! Our real estate continues to increase in price, keeping the Seattle metropolitan and its surrounding areas at the top of our Nations real estate markets. Experts agree that the shortage of inventory continues to create this result. Looking forward to 2018, this trend has shown no signs of changing in that respect. This abundance of savvy buyers are still looking, there simply is not enough out there for them to  buy. 
 
How does that translate to you as a homeowner?
 
 Spring may still be peak home-shopping season, since most families want to move when the kids are out of school. Yet, it actually pays to list in the winter, when buyers tend to have more urgency: One study found that average sellers net more above asking price during the months of December, January, February, and March than they do from June through November, and homes listed in the Winter sold faster than those posted in the Spring.

 

That means:  Now is the time to sell your home!
Buyers want to buy it and you should absolutely take advantage of that demand.  
 
Not sure where you will go?
As a Sotheby’s International Realty agent, I can help you buy nearly everywhere in the world, not just locally. I will assist you with planning ahead, to ensure that new home transition is both smooth and effortless for you and your family.
 
 So, dream big and let’s make your dreams a realty together.
 Give me a call and I will provide you with a current market analysis of your home and help guide you down the path to success. 
 
 
Whether you are selling a single family home, or a commercial investment property,
I am your perfect agent. 
 
____________________________________________________________________________
 
 
 Does your broker make you feel important?
Do they answer the phone when you call?
Do they instill confidence in you?
Do they work hard to ensure your success?
 
No?
 
Then why do you work with them?
 
 Call me, my clients matter.  
 
I look forward to meeting you.

West Seattle Charmer
7721 44th Ave SW, Seattle, Washington USA
Purchased at: $799,000 
 

A West Seattle charmer, this home has uninterrupted views of the entire Puget Sound. A beauty from entry to exit, this home was a perfect fit for my clients. I have worked with this family for years, and it was a pleasure finding them another perfect property for their collection. Savvy investors are my forte. I sincerely enjoy working with my investor clients to enhance and grow their portfolios. I am always proud to have their trust and enjoy helping them in their quest for success.

An enormous thank you to Christopher Sayre, at Chase Bank, for his exceptional work on this transaction. As well as the title team at First American Title and the closing team of Galvin Realty Law Group. Great team work is always appreciated.

Repeat business is always the result of exceptional work. This was no exception.

Just Sold 
 
Lochleven property
726 95th Ave NE, Bellevue, Washington USA
Sold at: $1,750,000 
 

This home sale was fantastic from start, to finish. I met this family after they had a failed attempt at listing their property for sale on the open market. They were frustrated and looking for alternative options. After spending quite some time listening to what they wanted to achieve, I was able to help them find the best solution to meet all of their needs. I assessed the property and recommended to them that their property may be better suited to an investor or builder, rather than a family looking for a home to live in.

They agreed this was the case and asked me to find them a buyer off-market. Because I work with so many builders and investors, I was able to find a buyer for this property within days at the price they were looking for and also allow them ample time and the funds necessary in advance, to find a new house to buy.

Thank you to the title and escrow teams at Chicago Title. A great job on this one, thank you.

All parties were happy and successful in this venture.
