đź‘€ SEE IT FIRST đź‘€

COMPASS continues to lobby for greater seller choice and flexibility in how we, as real estate agents, market their homes.

Sometimes, and depending on the market, the best decision is to create a multi-tier marketing campaign for a property, that allows your home to be featured as a “private exclusive” “coming soon” or “first look” prior to hitting the market in a fully active state.

It allows a seller to test price while also gaining valuable insights and feedback, without being harmed by the perception of days on market or price changes.

It also drives excitement around a property that is not yet marketed far and wide. Some buyers would rather pounce on a property that they know hasn’t reached max visibility yet.

Literally “see it first” via compass.com and via redfin.com’s “Early Access”.

Selling Sunset in Seattle.

Built by Concept Builders and VB Homes, here’s a glimpse into this exclusive broker open.

If you’re wondering what $10.7million buys you, it’s all in the accoutrements; a cantilevered staircase with white oak treads and a 30ft sky-lit ceiling.

There are surprises at every turn; the library enclave you didn’t know you needed - 100% worth a Herman Miller “Eames” chaise.

Or the wellness area complete with sauna, steam room and cold plunge. Yes, I did say cold plunge.

The LED back-lighting that brings everything to life across the entire home, or the decorative black river rock pebbles beneath the roof’s overhang along sections of the top floor.

And then there’s the built in w**e storage that’s more a work of art than cellar. A sculptural feat of engineering with temperature controlled racks that detect the w**e varietal and automatically adjust the temperature. This one blew my mind.

If you’re interested in seeing this property in person, please DM me. Proof of funds will be a requirement in order to tour this custom Issaquah home.

Heritage chic meets high end aesthetic in this custom soup-to-nuts remodel by Alair Homes in Kirkland.

When I say that every square of inch of this 3,550sq/ft home has been purposefully built out, I mean it - and I’m not the listing agent.

I picked this home out as a standout in Kirkland and in person it actually over-delivered. Thick stone slab and elegant backsplash with subtle veining, high end bespoke cabinetry and the royalty of appliances (Subzero & Wolf), are just the tip of the iceberg.

Every closet, each nook, has been carefully planned out. No compromises have been made in fit and finish, utilizing only the highest end materials.

From the beautifully crafted staircase, to a primary bathroom designed to bring the outdoor beauty inside, this home has to be seen in person.

Not seen in pictures is this residence’s dual driveway and dual entry/exit doors from the garage, which is ultra rare and so convenient.

Tucked away in the hills of Holmes Point and benefitting from year-round lake and mountain views, this property is listed at just under $2,400,000. If this were a new construction, you’d be looking at a list price of $3,500,000. I would take advantage of this fully permitted down-to-studs remodel if I were a buyer - there’s nothing quite like it on the market.

Comment “SHOW” for a private showing.

In a revolutionary move, the Northwest Multiple Listing Service (NWMLS), reached a settlement with Compass on August 31st, allowing sellers and brokers across WA state, to pre-market a home as a “coming soon”. It is the only MLS in the country that previously prohibited this.

Sellers will now have the freedom to test price and gain valuable buyer and broker insights into their home prior to hitting the market in earnest.

In fact as of September 4th the NWMLS are allowing sellers and their agents to list a home as a “Coming Soon”, or “First Look” as the NWMLS will be calling it, for up to 21 days.

In this time period buyers and their brokers will be able to see the listing as a “coming soon” and will be able to submit an offer to purchase the property if they wish to.

At last, sellers in WA state will have the freedom to test their desired price point WITHOUT accumulating days on market.

Other impactful changes as a result of this settlement are that NWMLS listing photos will no longer be watermarked - this is a significant win since professional listing photos are typically owned and paid for by brokers and should not be watermarked with an NWMLS logo.

Last but certainly not least, on syndicated real estate websites, the listing agent’s name and contact details will be featured front and center as opposed to buried somewhere at the very bottom of the listing, reducing buyer confusion and improving clear communication with the listing broker.

Here’s to more clarity, more freedom, and to empowering sellers to be far more targeted and strategic in their approach to the market. It’s a huge win for owners in WA state.

Thank you to Robert Reffkin who lobbied tirelessly for this momentous change, not just for Compass agents, but for the entire industry and most importantly, for our clients.

Dialed in fully remodeled home for sale in Kirkland. With prime access to both Totem Lake and Juanita’s thriving lake life, you’re also less than ten minutes away from Woodinville’s w**e country.

Newer AC and tankless water heater add to this home’s bells and whistles. 3 beds, 2.5 baths, and a large den / flex space that could easily be used as a 4th bedroom.

This home is on a corner lot with cul-de-sac and features a very private back yard with ample entertaining, play and garden space.

This is a really fantastic home at a great price point for Kirkland and surrounding areas. DM me for more information.

Cottage communities fill a much needed middle housing gap. Kirkland has seen a surge in these types of communities since 2016, starting by the first I ever knew - the Juanita Farmhouse Cottages.

Today I toured two developments, both listed by Max Rombakh , Windermere. Both smaller boutique homes that don’t compromise on features or finishes, giving owners the best of both worlds; lower price points with all the bells and whistles.

DM me for pricing info and links.

I’m a Kirkland resident and I know my local inventory very well. In a market with lots of options, I wanted to point out my top 3 real estate finds in this beautiful lakeside city. I looked through the lens of price (best value), location, quality of finishes, interior and exterior spaces. I’ve placed them in no particular order - all stand out individually.

What I love about this home is the fact that it boasts that coveted trifecta of great price, spacious square footage and quality finishes, with views to boot. Listed at a little under $2,500,000 this one is hard to beat, especially since it has undergone a very recent down-to-studs remodel but doesn’t have the new construction price tag (think minimum $800k more for a comparable new construction with views).

Highlights are:

* Over 3,500sq/ft of living space with 4 beds and 3.5 baths
* A 4-car pass-through garage
* Down-to-studs remodel with high quality finishes
* Cedar ceilings add a timeliness, luxury PNW modern quality that new construction is not going to offer
* Year round lake and mountain views

Priced extremely competitively at $1,800,000, this spacious home is what you’d call a unicorn. I’ve personally walked through the property and I know the neighborhood very well. This one’s a gem. You cannot find a newer-built, 4,000sq/ft, 4 bed, 4.5 bath home for this price anywhere in Kirkland, especially in such pristine condition (I’m serious, I checked). I also love the longer, private driveway - perfect for when you host a party! You might be wondering what’s the catch; there really isn’t one, it’s been overlooked but it’s the whole package. This is the one you jump on.

Highlights are:

* As well as 4 bedrooms you have a flexible loft space and huge rec room on the basement level. Space abounds!
* Backed by a green belt for maximum privacy
* Covered heated deck for year round entertaining
* A true chef’s kitchen
* One of the most walkable & bike-able neighborhoods in Kirkland

Honestly this recognition took me by surprise. My 2025 was mediocre at best. I can tell you what was far from mediocre, my passion and hard, hard work. In a market where numbers (list price), mattered more than presentation, last year required hard core perseverance, much thinking outside the box and a whole lot of resilience. As well as some difficult conversations.

This recognition means that there are 1109 agents who ranked higher than me, and that’s ok. I made the top 1.5% which is a statistic that still blows me away. Even more so because I spend a lot of my time looking after my kiddos, fur babies & volunteering, while juggling work.

I am EXTREMELY grateful for my clients who loyally ask me for advice years after we have transacted together, who hire me in full trust of my capabilities, who are prepared to listen to the hard stuff (the buyer wants to back out! The stock market is on a downhill! Interest rates just went up, again!), and who lean on me unconditionally for support at all times. Thank you.

What I love the most about this career is probably that I get to go to bat for people all the time. I’m a fighter and a giver and so it gives me so much pleasure to fight hard for my clients so they can achieve what they want. And it is an HONOR to be part of what inevitably is always a huge life-defining adventure with them. Thank you. This is a very rewarding career when you care.

Happy Monday 🤍

SOLD! Buyer represented, in Bow, WA.

I have known this buyer since she was 29, single and proud mama to Mia, her cute floof. We met at an open house, because that’s often how you meet new clients who otherwise are not part of your sphere.

I helped Tory buy her first home and fast forward a few years, she is married with a sweet little boy. She and her husband had purchased a second home and had been renting her first home which had been the plan all along (she is a smart entrepreneurial cookie!).

When Tory told me she and her family wanted to buy a new home we put a plan in place to sell her first home with the intention of also selling her current home and then purchasing “the dream home.” This plan took 18 months to execute, which is pretty short in the grand scheme of life. With another baby on the way the search for the *right* property was on.

Then it popped up, with a price drop that made it (kind of) affordable. And it had EVERYTHING that Tory and her husband were looking for, including a massive shop (the best we had seen in those 18 months), a gorgeous house that they could grow into and…18 acres of land. Land for mountain biking, for building trails through it…and maybe part of it, one day, for a small paddock. Who knows.

Bow is idyllic, it’s surrounded by horse farms, agriculture and my goodness some of the best eateries around. I cannot put into words how much of a pleasure it has been exploring these areas with Tory and her family. The adventures I get brought on as my clients venture through life are priceless. I mean this. To be a part of growth and expansion, pivotal life changes and sometimes hold hands through tougher moments, is a privilege. One that I am forever grateful for.

Happy new home Tory, Logan, Ryder, bump and Mia! This is just the beginning 🥂🎊🤍

SOLD in Lynden, WA.

In a tough market this gem sold for 10% over list price - and we didn’t price low. Feedback from agents who toured was that we priced “just right.” Since this was a listing in Whatcom Co. and so outside of my regular area, I brought on an experienced colleague, , to co-list with me and she consulted on go-to-market strategy.

We knew it was going to be a hit when we had 11 showings booked across the first day and a half, 3 offers by the end of our first day on the market and 7 offers on the table within 24 hours.

*Why were we so successful?*

- Price was “just right” and so we attracted the maximum amount of buyers, many of whom were local.

- Presentation was on point with a recently remodeled kitchen, re-paint throughout and thoughtful decor.

- Sellers tackled the key maintenance items and we presented the home pre-inspected.

- The property showcased rare amenities, such as a shop on a large lot and essentially downtown. Location is everything!

- It turns out the timing was spot on for a mid-century built home in Lynden. There wasn’t much like-for-like inventory when we hit the market 4/23 and we attracted buyers who were ready to pounce.

I did not expect such overwhelming activity, but it made me so happy for my clients who were equally as overwhelmed. Note how everything aligned to make this a successful sale, from price to location and everything in between. Attention to detail ALWAYS matters, but never more than in a trickier market like today’s.

Congratulations to my sellers! 🥳🥂♥️
