This weekend's Open House







This Saturday from 2-5 and Sunday from 1-4, I will be holding open a lovely view home at 4431 Glenn Way SW, just blocks from the Junction in the Genesee neighborhood of West Seattle. This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home is light and bright, with a versatile floor plan, inlaid hardwoods, 2 fireplaces, terraced gardens and more. Come see for yourself!

EVERYONE WHO VISITS ME AT MY OPEN HOUSE WILL RECEIVE A "THANK YOU" GIFT consisting of a variety of valuable coupons and special offers related to home ownership. For example, $50 off carpet cleaning services by Preferred Carpet Care; a free color consultation (valued at $250) and 10% off interior and exterior painting services by Aurea Painters; $50 off a home inspection by Home Inspections of Puget Sound; and many more! The total value of all the coupons combined is over $1000! These are coupons and offers that I have negotiated with local vendors and are AVAILABLE ONLY TO MY CLIENTS. I will be offering these gift packs at all my Open Houses for the foreseeable future, but I reserve the right to discontinue without notice, so don't delay!

Current loan rates

Here's a quick update on loan rate activity for this week, courtesy of Troy Chambers, Arboretum Mortgage.

"After two weeks of sub 5% mortgages rates, the market has moved and we are now seeing the rates in the mid 5’s. Please remember that credit scores are extremely crucial right now, and even those people with scores from 700-720 are being dinged on their interest rates. It is very important to be working with experienced team members such as appraisers, mortgage brokers and processors, as this is a difficult time. On a positive side … rates are great, prices are down, and spring is coming. That’s a great mix for home sales."

Sunday Open House - Free Ice Cream!


Today, from 1-4, I will be holding open a one-level view home in Fauntlee Hills. 8806 39th Ave SW. Both bedrooms in this stylishly remodeled mid-century home are Master Suites, with their own walk-in closets and bathrooms. The house sits high above street level, giving it a stunning view of the Sound and Mountains, yet the back entrance from the carport provides level access for those who need to (or want to) avoid stairs. A large entertainment deck runs the length of the front of the house. MLS# 28143401. Just reduced to $579,950. Listed by my Prudential Colleague, Ken Arkills.

As usual, I will be giving each visitor a gift bag filled with valuable coupons for a variety of home services and products -- everything from Husky Deli ice cream to carpet cleaning.
