Leavenworth Real Estate

Multiple Offers

This is a hot market and I am finding myself representing clients in multiple offer situations more and more. I can think of 7 instances recently where this occured. Only once has my client not received the property they were hoping for. As a buyer, you should be prepared to act quickly and decisively. Get pre-approved from your lender before you start looking. If you like something you see, be prepared to put an offer on the table. Plan on paying asking price for a property unless special circumstances apply. As a seller, it is a great position to be in. It’s nice having buyers bidding on your property. It can be a bit nerve-wracking.

In this fast paced environment you need an agent you can trust and one who can deftly negotiate on your behalf. Let me know if I can help you.

Ideas for Real Estate Column?

I might have the opportunity to write a column for a local newsletter. Any ideas of topics that folks think would be interesting to read about? It would be a quarterly in a rural area. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

It’s Spring!

You might guess this is the annual “Spring Is Here, Time to List Your House” message – it’s not. No, I just thought I should chronicle the crazy weather we’ve been having lately. Steven’s Pass closed early after a horrible ski season and the weather has been unreasonably warm. Highs have been in the 70s for some time. Luckily we’re getting a bit of a break right now and delaying our drought at least a little. It snowed all day Saturday and was intermittently raining much of today. Sure we’ll need a lot more rain to prevent fires and keep the rivers full for the fish, but it’s a start.
