QUARTERLY UPDATE DECEMBER 2022
some success and clients I made very happy in November In this quarter’s newsletter I am discussing some
success and clients I made very happy in November. I listed a beautiful home in the Trossachs neighborhood of Sammamish where there were 3 homes on the same street for sale and around 10 homes in the entire neighborhood active on the market. I was the only agent that got a house under contract within 9 days! The average days on market in that neighborhood were around 60 days just for context. In addition, I got my clients the highest sale price/square foot in the area. What was the secret sauce? A lot of the credit goes to my sellers who listened to my advice and worked really hard to get their house ready for the market. They also listened when I told them where to price the home. I kept them updated with what was going on in the neighborhood so they knew that I was bringing them the best offer that they could get in the current market conditions. I worked hard on the marketing of the house which I will break down for you next and I also ran open houses and showed the home

to clients who couldn’t make it to the open house- even if they were working with another agent. There is nothing I won’t do to get my clients the best offer out there. I followed up with agents and people that come to the opens, and I also worked very hard on the buyer’s agent to get them to present and offer and then to present something that would work for my clients. Below I breakdown the marketing so you can see some of the aspects that sets me apart from the rest- I don’t just take photos and wait for the phone to ring. In this market you must chase down all the buyers that you can as buyers have a squirrely mentality right now. Not only that but you must get as many people to see the home online and then into the home and this is where property marketing that works starts. 1. It may sound like a no brainer, but professional photography is a must. In this house I had 3 shoots, morning, evening, and twilight to get the house in all the best light.
