Finding the perfect home or piece of land for you is my passion. Whether you're looking for:

new construction or perhaps an existing home to "greenovate"	a waterfront home or vacation cottage	vacant land to build your dream home or "green" home

I would love to provide you with a real estate experience that exceeds your expectations!

It's a GREAT time to purchase a home on Camano Island!  The combination of tax credits, low interest rates and historically low prices means there hasn't been a better or more affordable time to buy than now. 

Camano Island also has a variety of vacant land and acreage available if you're looking to build your dream house, a vacation cottage, or possibly a certified green home. I also can provide you with resources for architects and builders if you don't have your own. 

I utilize a multi-faceted approach to selling your home. The most important elements in my marketing plan for your home include:

1. Setting a Realistic Price 

Pricing your home realistically maximizes your opportunities to reach the most interested and qualified buyers. Statistics show that the longer a home remains on the market it receives fewer showings and, ultimately, a significantly lower sales price. Based on a current market analysis of similar properties on the market and those that have recently sold, I'll provide you with a suggested selling price that's both realistic and competitive, and will hopefully provide you with a quick sale!

 2. Preparing Your Home for Sale

The saying "you only have one chance to make a first impression" has never been truer than in today's home market. Buyers have many homes from which to choose, and they are picky! They want a good "deal", but they also want a fresh-smelling, squeaky clean house that's move-in ready. I will make suggestions to help you "stage" your home for utmost curb appeal. See Windermere's Market Preparation Guide for additional assistance.

3. Marketing Plan

No two home marketing plans should be identical.  Once we've competitively priced your home and it has been prepared for sale, I'll list your home and begin a custom marketing campaign.

Today the internet is the best marketing tool to showcase a home.  In addition to listing your home on www.windermere.com,  the NW Multiple Listing Service and featuring it on my own website (see the Featured Homes page), I also utilize many high-traffic sites such as Craigslist, Yahoo, Trulia and Zillow.  Other great sources of publicizing your home are the social networks sites like Facebook and Twitter, and video sites like YouTube. 

My marketing "tool box" also includes print advertising, open houses and tours for local real estate agents.  Early and ongoing exposure is critical to keep your property front and center in the mind of a prospective buyer!

This is just the beginning! Be assured I won't stop working to sell your house after this initial busy period. I'll continue to tweak your marketing as necessary to ensure your home sells as quickly as possible.
