Big, Big News...

In the midst of uncertain times, one thing is certain…

The real estate market in Olympia-Tacoma-Seattle is hot and we’re still working!!

Today is a record-breaking day for us. We have four listings going live on the market. And the great thing is that they represent a few of the different communities we serve:

Seattle

If you’re looking for a home in one of those cities, check out the virtual tours above! Or if you’re curious what your home is worth, call or email me. I’m happy to put together a market analysis for you and answer any questions you have. My contact information is below.

Virtual Home Buying...We Can do That!

While current events make buying a home, sight unseen, a more common occurrence than it was before, it’s not new to us. For several years, we’ve leveraged technology for every part of the purchasing process. From consultations, to viewing properties, to signing paperwork, to closing—we can do it all without requiring any in-person interactions.

Here’s how…

 
 

Virtual Consultations

Zoom is our platform of choice for virtual consultations. This is an opportunity for us to learn what you’re looking for in your new home. We’ll also walk you through what the real estate market is doing now and how that might impact your search. You can ask as many questions of us as you’d like!

 
 

Start Looking

Now we’ll start sending you listings to look at online. As you provide feedback on what we send—what you love and what you don’t—we’ll refine our search. In addition to listing photos, we’ll send you information about the neighborhood, the property and market analyses so you know whether the listing price is competitive or not.

 
 

Virtual Home Tour

Even tours can be done virtually. Some listings have high-quality video tours done by the listing agent. When a listing you’re interested has one of those, we’ll send you the link. But we can also go to the property with our video camera and, using Zoom or FaceTime, walk you through and answer any questions you have as we tour the home.

 
 

Sign Electronically

Every document related to your purchase can be signed electronically, making the paperwork part of purchasing a home fast, easy and efficient. If you have questions on any of the documents you receive during the course of the transaction, we can jump on Zoom and go over them together.

 
 

Earnest Money

Once you’ve found a property you love and had your offer accepted, we’ll assist you with wiring the earnest money to escrow. But if wiring doesn’t work for you, we’ll come pick-up your check and hand-deliver it to escrow.

 
 

Home Inspection

Home inspections can be completed, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. The inspector will conduct an inspection and then send their report. We will review the report together and can even schedule a Zoom call with the inspector so that you can ask any questions you have about the property.

 
 

Closing & Keys

There are virtual options for closing as well, including mobile notaries and digital signature software. We’ll arrange to drop off keys, garage door openers and anything else the seller provides to you at your new home.

Contact us to learn more about the virtual home-buying process. We’d love to help! Email rebeccad@kw.com or call/text 253.576.7707.

Celebrating 17 Years...

I renewed my real estate license recently. May 2020 will mark my 17th anniversary as a licensed real estate professional!! 

In Washington State, every 2 years, we get to brush up on our skills and submit to the state that we intend to continue serving people in real estate. The license renewal process made me reflect on my journey.

In the early 2000's I was desperate to increase my dollar per hour wage but I didn't know how. 

There were only so many hours in the day and I was working MANY of them! I wanted to find a true career. When I got my real estate license, I realized that my dollar per hour wage had DRAMATICALLY changed for the better and I discovered my marketplace ministry opportunity.

A small amount of time (90 clock hours in my state) + $489 + $146.25 for State Licensing + $50 for fingerprints + a few membership fees and you are on your way to launch your real estate BUSINESS. The problem is that many real estate agents treat their real estate career like a JOB not a business. I'm so grateful for the ongoing training Keller Williams provides for us to keep learning and growing as business owners. The day you join our company, you have four income streams working for you. I would love to explain more about the process to you!

As I reflect, I'm so blessed to be in business with the #1 Real Estate Company in the world by agent count, volume sold and units.

I'm thankful to be a part of a DEBT FREE company who treats its partners like stakeholders and shares the profits.

I'm grateful for the people early in my real estate career who invested their time, energy and enthusiasm in me. Now it's my honor to pour into you hungry, learning-based friends and help you start or grow in your own journey.

Have you ever considered getting into the business? Email me or contact me through the Contact page of this website for a confidential conversation. I'd love to help you get started!
