Why Hire Cori? Buying or selling a home is one of the most important financial and emotional decisions you make in your lifetime. You want to choose a trustworthy, caring professional with a proven record and strong business and people skills. Since 2005, I have helped hundreds of people move. My sold price to lis

t price ratios are solid and my Cumulative Days on Market (CDOM) are below industry averages. As a past owner in a corporate wellness publishing company, I understand the need to focus on the fine details while keeping an eye on the ever-changing big picture. I was in charge of Business Development and Sales and in 16 years grew a small, single product company into a multimillion dollar international company with a full line of products. My partners and I sold the company in 2005 to a large national publisher. As a native of Seattle, I value the uniqueness of the neighborhoods and homes in the Puget Sound area and choosing real estate as my subsequent career was an exciting next move. I love learning about them, their lives, their families, their hopes, their dreams. Even more, I love helping them achieve their dreams and transition as comfortably as possible to their next chapter. I am a clear communicator and an even better listener. Every transaction is as different as the people involved and I am comfortable moving as quickly or as patiently through the process as needed. As a graduate of Colorado College, I am a lifelong learner. The real estate industry changes dramatically from year to year and it is important to keep current. I constantly study market data and trends and work diligently to improve my skills and knowledge base. I have two full time, licensed employees who help me take exceptional care of you. Rory helps me serve buyers and sellers before we get in to contract and Lynette steps in once we are under contract. She provides phenomenal customer service and facilitates my transactions to assure that no small detail is overlooked. We work closely with lenders, title and escrow so that your transaction will close smoothly and in a timely manner. I also subcontract with specialists for administration, marketing, and social media. I am your delegate from the time you hire me through closing and beyond. I represent you with the utmost commitment, loyalty, and determination. Your goals are mine and I am not satisfied until I help you attain them! I receive the majority of my business through referrals and know that only by delivering above-and-beyond service and results will I continue to do so. I look forward to working with you!

Price Improvement in Richmond Beach! 🏡

Location, location, location! From this townhome, you can stroll to Richmond Beach Coffee House, Saltwater Park, local restaurants, and many everyday amenities. Nestled toward the back of the community, this home enjoys a quieter, more peaceful setting away from the street. Move-in ready and thoughtfully updated, it offers an easy blend of comfort and simplicity. Natural light fills the living room by day and breathtaking serene light pours through the windows in the evening. A vaulted ceiling and wood-burning fireplace create a welcoming place to gather. The kitchen and main-floor powder room have been refreshed with modern finishes, giving the entire level a clean, cohesive feel. Upstairs, two bedrooms—including a flexible loft—provide space to work, unwind, or host guests, along with a full bath and convenient in-unit laundry. Outside, a south-facing private fenced patio with established plantings offers a calm spot for morning coffee or relaxed evenings outdoors. An attached carport adds to the everyday ease. Excellent commuter location with transit nearby and light rail just 3 miles away. Ready for life at the beach?

June Home Maintenance 🏡✨ Pest-proofing your home indoors and out is important not only for your health and happiness, but also to prevent lasting damage to your home. From insects like mosquitoes or wasps to rodents, preventing pests from sharing your home will be an expense well-worth budgeting for.

Bathrooms are becoming more than just functional spaces — they’re turning into personal retreats. ✨

Spa-like design is leading the way, with natural materials, calming palettes, soft textures, and organic details creating a sense of ease and everyday luxury.

We’re also seeing statement slabs take the place of traditional tile, bringing dramatic movement, fewer grout lines, and a beautifully seamless look to showers, vanities, and feature walls.

The result? Bathrooms that feel serene, elevated, and intentionally designed from floor to ceiling.

Which trend would you bring into your dream bathroom?

This was an interesting one! I say that a lot, don't I? Well, it's true! I love the strategic puzzle that each property presents incorporating strengths and potential weaknesses, what's worth investing in and what is not, what's happening in the macro and micro market, what's going on with the current buyer demographic for that property's specific set of circumstances. AND then once we are launched, the market speaks and we respond accordingly! We overshot this one with price, uncertain how people would respond to the pool which is always an X factor in a listing in the Northwest (condition, location, orientation, price point, home attributes, demographic of buyer) and while we created a move in ready home (carpet, paint, repair), the majority of the buyers who came through wanted to update substantially and were generally overwhelmed by the size of the home and project. So, when we received a lower offer, I negotiated hard to bring them up and ultimately, we settled on a price that everyone could feel good about. Congratulations to my sellers who sold their American Dream Home!

This one came to us in a unique way...most of our business is repeat and referral with some coming from friends and neighbors. In this case, we sold the adjacent property to the north in 2024 after two other unsuccessful attempts were made by other agents in 2022 and 2023. The neighbors noticed so when it came time to sell their property, they tracked us down. One seller remembered having a conversation with one of our preferred vendors over the fence about how much time, focus and energy we put in to our listings and that motivated him further. This property also had an X factor - an elevator which is considered a plus if someone needs one, but if they don't, they often don't want it there, especially if it takes up valuable space. We accepted a bit less than our original goal and both sellers are happy and on their way to their next chapters!

May brought a more balanced real estate market to King and Snohomish counties 🏡

Inventory is up, giving buyers more options and a little more breathing room. At the same time, pending sales are also up, showing that buyers are still active and ready to move. Plus, most sellers are sitting on tons of equity built over the last 5-10 years!

For sellers, strategy matters: preparation, presentation, and accurate pricing are key to standing out. The right approach can still lead to quick sales, and even multiple offers.
