You scroll a listing and see a nice kitchen. I see a flooring transition that tells me where the renovation stopped.

That is not me being clever. It is just what twelve hundred houses does to your eye.

Four photos in this one, annotated with what I actually look at. The grade slope at the foundation. Where the downspout dumps. The serial number on the water heater. How high the moss climbs the siding.

None of it means a house is bad. Every single item is a question, not a verdict. The inspector answers them. My job is making sure we knew to ask before we were three weeks and four hundred dollars into a deal.

This is No. 01. I will do one of these every week or two.

Comment READ and I will send you the walkthrough checklist I use.

What the video didn’t have room for:

Buydown funds come out of seller concessions - and those are capped. So if you’re also asking the seller to cover closing costs, you’re splitting the same pot.

The real question isn’t “will they say yes.” It’s what those concession dollars are best spent on.

DM me “RATE.” Confirm exact figures with your lender.

Inspection day!!!!

Investor deal, so this one is high stakes. No emotion in the room, just arithmetic. Every finding is either a line item that fits the model or a reason to walk.

NWMLS rolled out a new listing status this week and if you are selling in Washington in the next year, you should understand it before your agent explains it to you.

It is called First Look. Your listing can sit in a pre Active status for up to 21 days while you finish repairs, staging, photography, whatever you need. You decide whether showings are allowed. You decide whether it shows up on Zillow and Redfin.

Here is the part that will get sellers in trouble.

Days on Market starts at zero when you go Active. Time in First Look does not count. Price changes made during First Look do not show on public sites. That sounds like a clean slate.

It is not a clean slate. Every NWMLS broker can see the whole thing. How long you sat there. Every price you tried. And those brokers are the exact people advising the buyers who write offers on your house.

So the clock resets for the public. It does not reset for the person on the other side of the negotiation.

That does not make First Look bad. Used right, for a specific reason, it is genuinely useful. Used as a place to quietly test a price you are not sure about, it will cost you leverage later.

If you are listing in the next six months, comment FIRST and I will send you the full breakdown of all three options and which one actually fits your situation.

I don't usually post my sold transactions, or my buyers, online. Privacy matters to me, and most of my clients never end up on my feed. But every once in a while you work with people so good that the story is worth telling. These two were that.

Honestly, they were the kind of buyers every agent hopes for. Grounded, decisive, kind, and unshakeable under pressure. When we started, the market humbled us. We found "the one" early, wrote a strong offer, and by the time we were about to submit it, the house went pending. It stung. A lot of people would have panicked or forced the next deal. Not them. They stayed patient, trusted the process, and waited for the right home instead of the fast one.

Then this house came along. This time we moved quickly and smartly, did our homework, negotiated with discipline, and just 7 days on market later, it was theirs. Keys in hand today.

What I'll remember isn't the deal. It's how they carried themselves through the hard part, and how much they trusted me to guide them. Clients like this are rare, and I got lucky to work with them.

Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Goel, two of the best I've had the privilege to represent. Welcome home. Here's to every ordinary, wonderful day you'll spend inside these walls.

Everyone who moves here gets warned about the rain. Nobody warns you about the trade.

Late July, nine at night, and it is still light out. The grill is off. Somebody is going to say they should go inside soon and then not move for another hour.

This is roughly six weeks a year. Maybe eight in a good summer.

I have had clients tell me they were ready to leave Seattle in February and then completely forget they said it by August. Every year. Same people.

If you are house hunting right now, pay attention to the outdoor space. Not because you will use it in November. Because you will live out there for six weeks and those six weeks are what you are actually paying for.

A lot of people left this business in the last two years. Quietly. No announcement post, just a license that stopped renewing.

I do not blame any of them. It got hard in a way it had not been hard before.

The ones who stayed are not smarter. They just kept doing the boring part. Following up on a lead that went cold four months ago. Driving to a listing appointment they probably will not win. Answering a text at 10pm from a client who is spiraling about an inspection report.

None of that is impressive. All of it is the job.

If you know someone who kept showing up when it stopped being fun, send them business. They earned it in a season nobody was watching.

I did not delete anything. Nothing happened. There is no situation.

I just noticed that the only posts anyone reads all the way to the end are the ones that look like somebody is in trouble.

So here is what I actually wanted to tell you.

Two cabins on one lot in Ashford, about six minutes from the Nisqually entrance to Rainier. 575,000. Sold as-is with every single furnishing included. It ran as a short term rental last year and was booked over 300 days.

You buy it, you show up with a duffel bag, and it already works.

That is the whole announcement. Sorry for the theatrics. Kind of.

Comment CABIN and I will send you the photo set, the details, and the booking history.
