About Seattle's Eastlake

Really?

Are you sure? Do you know every possible thing that could go wrong in any market - let alone a market where qualified buyers need to be picked through to make sure you can close a transaction and not create a lawsuit along the way.

OK

Aubrey Cohen at the Seattle PI wrote up a piece about how Redfin is raising their prices to attract more market share. OK? But that is another story. What is amazing to me was the comments afterward about how many people really feel they do not need a real estate agent.

Kary Krismer is a local real estate agent and was so right with this response:

"The problem is some people think real estate is simple, because they don't know what they don't know."

I am constantly amazed at the do it yourself crown and admit to being one in some cases.... like baking cookies, making pizza, sewing a Halloween costume or two here and there - even washing my car - these are all great little ways to do something yourself and save money or make it better. Real Estate is not one of those things and I am not surprised that discount companies need to step up the service because this market is different! Buyers and sellers need experienced and knowledgeable help with their real estate transactions.

Seattle neighborhood Eastlake is hot right now!

There is so much in Eastlake for anyone who is thinking of living there and there are buyers out there for Eastlake Sellers! Just this last week alone I have had three calls from drive-by buyers who were SERIOUSLY interested in my condo listing. This is the same Eastlake condo that got an offer in less than a week! Eastlake is definitely a great place to buy or sell real estate!

I was amazed at the flow of buyers that came into my open house in Eastlake! The sunny weather helped, but overall, I think buyers are excited by the low rates!

Seattle was sunny and blue skies yesterday! It was the very perfect day for my first open house at my new Seattle listing in Eastlake at 2611 Eastlake Ave E #101. This Seattle condo has a view of Lake Union and Gasworks Park! The sailboats and motor boats were out and the seaplanes were buzzing! It was practically like a Seattle summer day!

I had lots of Seattle buyers through the door - both represented and unrepresented and everyone seemed to love this Seattle condo! The condo is surrounded by parks and shopping - it really made me want to live in Eastlake! What an amazing lifestyle the people who buy this lovely condo will have!

Despite the media hype, buyers are out there! Real estate is a good investment and Seattle is at the head of the pack for values and appreciation!
