Rejected. Regrouped. Repositioned. Accepted. 🎉

Our first offer didn’t make it across the finish line, but we didn’t see it as the end of the road.

We adjusted our strategy, stayed patient, and trusted the process.

The result? A better deal for my buyers the second time around.

Sometimes the offer that gets rejected is the one that leads you exactly where you’re supposed to be.

Congratulations to my buyers! 🏡✨

The craving said Chinese food.

So here we are. 🥢😂

A little drive to T&T Restaurant in Edmonds because sometimes the food you’re craving is the only food that will do.

Worth every minute of the drive.

What’s your “no matter how far it is, I’m going” restaurant?

If you haven’t been yet, the market runs seasonally from May through October, making it the perfect weekend stop for fresh produce, flowers, baked goods, handmade products, and local vendors.

I love that it’s not just a place to shop. It’s a place to slow down, connect with the community, and enjoy everything that makes Snohomish so special. ❤️

Whether you’re a longtime local or thinking about making Snohomish County your home, this is one of those experiences that gives you a feel for the lifestyle people love here.

Have you visited the Snohomish Farmers Market this season? What’s your favorite thing to pick up there?

Sometimes the best reset is stepping away from the busy schedule and slowing down for a little while. 🚲 Fresh air, quiet moments, movement, sunshine, and time to simply enjoy the present. These are the moments I look forward to and work hard for. Grateful for the balance between building a career I love and making time to recharge along the way. 🤍

What’s your favorite way to reset on the weekends?

This week reminded me why I’m so grateful for the work I get to do ❤️

Grateful for returning clients who continue to trust me through different chapters of their lives.

Grateful for moments where real estate becomes so much bigger than just buying or selling a home. Sometimes it’s about being closer to family, slowing down, creating a new lifestyle, or building a future that feels more aligned.

Grateful for conversations, trust, sunsets on Whidbey Island, views of Puget Sound and Mount Rainier, and the reminder that not every office comes with this kind of scenery 🌲⛰️

And grateful for the people behind every transaction. Because at the end of the day, that’s the part that matters most to me.

What’s something you’re grateful for this week? ❤️

Behind every “Just Sold” post is a story most people never see.

This one came with hurdles, delays, stressful moments, and a lot of problem-solving behind the scenes. There were moments this could’ve easily fallen apart… but we kept pushing forward every step of the way.

And honestly, seeing my clients finally make it to the finish line made all of it worth it. 🤍

The best part? They now get to begin their next chapter closer to family. That’s bigger than any sale price or closing date.

Grateful for my clients, the teamwork it took to get here, and the reminder that real estate isn’t always smooth… but helping people move forward in life is always worth it.

I’m Maricon. Your move. My mission.

Vacant land can look absolutely beautiful at first glance… but this is where doing your due diligence matters most 👀🌲

When buying land, you’re not just evaluating the view. You’re investigating things like utilities, septic feasibility, access, setbacks, wetlands, slope, permitting, and what can realistically be built there.

Not every piece of land is automatically buildable, which is why having the right professionals involved early makes such a big difference.

With vacant land, what you can’t see is often the most important part of the process.

Thinking about buying land in Washington? What would your dream property look like? 🏡

Mother’s Day weekend at Suncadia Resort ☀️

Feeling extra grateful for weekends like this… slow mornings, sunshine, fresh mountain air, and uninterrupted time with the people who matter most to me. We spent almost 2 hours biking around Suncadia this morning and honestly, it only felt possible because those electric bikes were SO light and fun 😂 Now I fully understand the hype because I want one too.

These are the moments I look forward to and work hard for… the simple moments that somehow end up meaning everything. 🤍

Modern design, mountain views, and that peaceful Lake Stevens energy ✨

Tucked into a quiet pocket with that “away from it all” feel—yet still close to everything—it’s more than just a place to live… it’s a lifestyle upgrade.

There’s a model home you can tour to really experience it in person 👀 I’d love to represent you as your buyer’s agent and guide you through it.

Would you live here? 🏡

Zillow can show you the square footage, the photos, and the Zestimate… but it can’t tell you what it actually feels like to live there 👀

It won’t point out the rushed flip.
It won’t tell you when a home is strategically underpriced to spark a bidding war.
It won’t tell you the traffic pattern during school pickup, the future development nearby, or whether that “updated” home was really updated well.

That’s where having the right agent matters.

When I walk homes with my buyers, I’m looking beyond the listing photos. I’m helping you understand value, strategy, red flags, resale potential, and what kind of offer actually makes sense in today’s Lake Stevens market.

Because buying a home is too big of a decision to rely on an algorithm alone.
