Free Gift Packs at Open House








Today, from 1-4 and Sun. 1-4, I will be holding open a terrific new-construction view townhome in the trendy Beacon Hill area. Actually, this new complex has 8 units (2 are already SOLD), each with a different floor plan, and you are welcome to tour the remaining 6, even though only one is officially on the market. This first unit to come on the market has 2 bedrooms and 2.25 baths, 1204 sq. ft. of living space, and shares a roof-top deck with neighboring units. MLS# 28173603. Listed by my Prudential colleague, Ken Arkills, for $439,000. To see more details, scroll down to my list of helpful links and click on the link to view available homes listed in the MLS. The address is 3038 Beacon Ave. S.

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 are great!

Here is a quick overview of loan rate activity for this past week, according to Troy Chambers, loan officer for Arboretum Mortgage:

What a Week!
The one time I decide to take a few days off from the computer, the rates drop like a lead balloon! Don’t get me wrong, I was able to lock in over 2.2 million in new loans in one day, and I was ecstatic! It was a little difficult to do from my in-laws place in Arizona, but when the market turns, we gotta do what we gotta do!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and the tryptophan has wore off, because rates are still very good. After seeing them go as low as 5.250 on Tuesday, they have risen back up, but as you can see, are still very low, in the mid to high 5’s. The only programs that were affected drastically this week where the conforming fixed rate products.

Please feel free to contact me on my cell phone at 425-418-5103 at any time, as it is always on!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I want to take this opportunity to thank all my clients and readers for your continued support. I love my job, and much of the reason is because of the people I work with -- both clients and colleagues.

I hope you have a peaceful day of gratitude among people you love.

Enter the Junction's $5K Giveaway

Since I moved to West Seattle nine years ago, the Junction has gone through a truly impressive transformation. Before you trek to downtown Seattle or a Mall to shop, consider all the Junction in West Seattle has to offer.


For added incentive, the Junction Association is sponsoring a $5,000 Holiday Giveaway. Entry tickets are FREE and available at all participating stores (including Prudential Northwest Realty). Just fill out the ticket with your contact info and drop it in the collection box (again, located in each participating business). There will be prize drawings on three different nights, beginning with the tree lighting ceremony on Dec. 6th. You do NOT need to be present to win.



The title to this post links to the Junction website. (I will also post a copy of the poster here, but it may be too small to read easily.)

Give me a call if you have any questions or if you would like me to mail you an entry ticket.
