What year did you become a real estate agent?
The agent has not answered this question.
How many years have you been in Real Estate?
Three
What is the average home price in your market?
The median price for a single family home in King County is $420,000 as of May, 2007.
Are there any new developments or trends in your area?
Yes, many apartments are being converted to condos, which means fewer rentals are available, resulting in increased rents. Seattle's housing market has remained healthy due to good employment opportunities in the region. But the inventory of houses on the market is increasing, so it is critical that sellers get the price right. I can advise on pricing strategies.
Why do you enjoy being a real estate agent?
It is truly a privilege to be able to help people get the value out of their homes when they sell, and to represent buyers and negotiate a win-win deal when they are purchasing a home.
What is the most challenging issue you face as a Real Estate Professional?
As with many agents, my number one challenge is finding enough hours in the day to do every thing that I want to do to conduct my business with the high customer service standards that I have set for myself.
Tell us one of your client success stories or an interesting moment in your profession.
On my first-ever listing, I structured the pricing to generate a lot of interest in the house, resulting in my clients receiving multiple offers for their property and selling it at the high end of their price range within 10 days.
What is your best characteristic?
I enjoy the problem solving aspect of the business, and the ability to create deals that everyone will be happy with. Also, I believe that my prior background in high-tech sales & marketing gives me an edge in obtaining the maximum exposure for the Seller's property.
Who or what inspires you the most?
What inspires me is the feeling of satisfaction in a job well-done.
What is the best advice you ever received?
You have to have the integrity and the bravery to walk away from a deal if it is not in the best interests of your client.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I have had the privilege of living in other areas in the US and of traveling to many beautiful cities overseas. I choose to live right here, in the Seattle metro area. It is a vibrant community with a lot of intellectual capital and cultural activities, as well as having one of the most spectacular settings of any city in the world.
