At Real Residential, we believe every person deserves honesty

For most of us, a house is our single-greatest financial asset But a house is more than a structure for shelter and space it’s often also a home, and home is one of the most emotional assets we can own

The process of buying or selling a home can feel daunting, and it’s frequently cloaked in mystery and uncertainty especially in a competitive market like the Seattle metro Mortgage interest rates are unstable, properties are scarce, and bidding wars are tense But even amidst the chaos, it can also be a journey of joy in which you dream of your new life or experience financial opportunity Most of the time, the difference between a bad experience and a good one is the team supporting you

Our team is a select, nimble group of experts focused on our local communities and intentional about slow growth so we can provide the best service to our clients We’re on a mission to redefine the duty of care in real estate to mean more than just legal obligation For us, duty of care is a standard of how you treat people, and it starts with honesty Honesty means educating you about market conditions (so you can make your best decision) and advocating for you like you ’ re a family member. Honesty means telling you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. Honesty means doing everything in our power to make your dreams come true

Honesty means being real And we promise to be real with you

Dear Jim,

Pricing a property and strategic positioning are the most important aspects of the marketing process and eventual sale, both upfront and when entrenched in negotiations When determining the correct price/strategy for your beautiful North Beach waterfront home, it is imperative to evaluate closely the targeted buyer, consumer trends within your specific neighborhood, and comparative prices of similar homes in the area Current inventory and market conditions in the pinpoint market (NW Seattle) and broader market are just as crucial to understanding the most appropriate sales price.

Additionally, it is paramount to understand the demographics of North Beach, Blue Ridge, and Broadview buyers (specifically for more turn-key or newer construction offerings) as well as the general driving factors within the neighborhood With this information, we can focus our marketing efforts towards a specific buyer We currently have reserved the website www.NorthBeachView.com to adhere to the web nature of today’s high-end home buyer For current examples, please visit MedinaHeightscom and ElfordWestEdgecom

The particular buyer for your property will most likely be a local family in the “ move up ” or even “1st time home buyer” category who covets premium view, ease of commute to Downtown Seattle, and the family-friendly elements of the North Beach community. There is also a very strong possibility of a relocating buyer (tech) – and it is important to note that the relocating buyer-type is savvier to the data within the sub-markets of the community, placing as much importance in the investment component as the emotional draw while the local buyer may view it from a different “lens”

The first thing that jumps out to us about your home is the emotional gravitas of the renovation and enviable “front row seat” to the “Theater of the Sea” It is important to recognize that homes are emotional, and your home certainly has significant wow factor The other major advantage is your large and well-programmed/manicured yard-space Overcoming potential objections is part of our job and framing these attributes to achieve price premiums by educating and controlling the message to buyers and brokers is a key part of the process.

Pricing a home of this design, quality, and location within North Beach is not always a simple exerciseIt involves an understanding of the nuances of buyer preferences, home presentation, timing, proximity, like-kind sales, like-kind architectural/finish-level, lot preferences, and micro-community and comparable community data It also involves being able to place additional value on elements of the home that would not be recognized simply through “data”, specifically why your property exhibits certain qualities in Seattle that other homes, even in comparative neighborhoods and nearby, do not have

43

Below is a snapshot of the primary three studies conducted on North Beach and surrounding areas for comparable pricing analysis: (1) Two year report of high-end data in NW Seattle, (2) Post-pandemic report for view comparables, (3) Five year study of nearest unobstructed view and front row comparables

Four active listings on the market (only one in a comparable price category)

Average price/sq ft for the sales is $795 (skewed by some larger homes)

Average price/sq ft for the homes under 4,000 sq ft is in the $875/sq ft range

Average days on market for the sold homes is 20 with many of the sales occurring in the first 8 days

Nearest comparable sales that will be most commonly referenced:

2054 NW Blue Ridge: This is a home that we sold for nearly $36 million in 2022 The home had larger spaces and bedroom count but minimal yard and less view premium

2855 NW Golden Circle: This home sold off-market and left some premium on the sidelines The finishes were quite high in quality and the bedroom count was also 3 total bedroomsThe sale occurred during the pandemic in late 2020 and there has been 8-11% appreciation from that time to our current date

2355 NW Blue Ridge Drive: This home sold with multiple offers and escalated up to $32 million The home was dated in some areas and in need of cosmetic upgrades

The only advantage this home has over your home is the “Blue Ridge premium” and one additional bedroom Your home is superior in every other way

Several of the comparable sales included 2 car garages and 4+ bedrooms but we believe that your home will appeal to down-sizers and move-up buyers alike and don’t view those two elements as significant headwinds to a premium sale

Technology Algorithm Estimates

Tax assessed value: $1,842,000

Real AVM: $2,076,000

Zillow: $2,764,500

Redfin: $2,763,630

It is important to understand that these algorithms use lagging data from sales that occurred earlier this year. Prices are impacted by daily market conditions in flux including, but not limited to, competitive inventory, interest-rates, local tech stock performance, and buyer sentiment

Based on all this information, as well as other data not included in this analysis, we feel the home is firmly planted above $3,150,000 as a low-end price scenario – which likely only would occur if market conditions slow even further, interest rates continue to rise, economic issues, more inventory, etc In reviewing the more specific elements we are very confident in a price above that figure

44

Once we establish our expected range, we look back at factors such as the community’s typical support of such price, the finishes and floor plan of the home as compared to the recent NW Seattle sales above $3 million. With those factors, we can then establish a more accurate price opinion

Equally important to our pricing analysis based on closed/pending sales is our ability to put ourselves in the shoes of a potential buyer There are currently 3 active homes in this category in ALL of NW Seattle

Based on what we have outlined in this report, it is our overall opinion that the market value of your home is between $3,185,000 and $3,415,000 If we were listing the property today, we would recommend pricing just under $3,500,000 at $3,495,000)The highest price we would recommend would be $3,595,000 – however we do not advise listing at this price, as we enter a high-risk zone above $3,600,000 given the external market conditions and items we outlined in this presentation.

We have specific plans to create a momentous presentation beyond pricing outlined in the attached proposal Some of these plans have already been discussed in person and we look forward to creating strong synergy to achieve a successful sale for your family!

We look forward to working with you toward a successful residential transition

Best Regards,

Testimonials

Brad, Nick, and Eli were a joy to work with throughout our multi-year search for the perfect home for our family. Brad provided thoughtful, patient guidance as we considered home after home in three different neighborhoods. When we were ready to put in an offer, Brad and Nick’s strategic advice helped us to stay sane, act quickly and ultimately win out in a competitive environment. Equally as important, although the market softened as we were getting ready to put our existing house on the market, they helped us to put our best foot forward and get our house sold at the right value. At every step, Brad was in tune with both our financial and emotional needs, helping us find the right balance and highly responsive to our calls. Eli made the logistics of buying and selling so easy – coordinating multiple vendors and taking care of all the many details leading up to putting our house on the market. Together, Brad, Nick and Eli made the stressful process of buying and selling our homes much calmer, faster, and easier than I could have imagined. (We were also introduced to a great roster of painters, handymen and other helpers – several of whom we ’ ve called on separately post-close).

From start to finish, Brad, Nick, and Eli were extremely helpful and professional at each step of the process We felt confident that they had our best interests in mind and took great care to negotiate the best deal possible This was our 4th time working with their team and we'll continue to use them moving forward

In working with Brad and Nick, we felt they were truly invested in our family and our success At no point did we feel like just another transaction And since closing, we ’ ve recommended Brad and Nick to multiple friends and colleagues, whether they were just exploring their next move, or actively house-hunting We’re thankful we had the opportunity to work with this team, and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a team to work with on their next transactions

Brad and Nick are without doubt the best in industry Often real estate agents can be undervalued when in reality, legal expertise and negotiating skills are the foundation to their service Aside from being fun to work with, their representation of our transactions was seamless, while knowing the hurdles they had to navigate were challenging Had it not been from Brad and Nick, our home would not have sold as quickly or as far above listing price

54

Thank you so much for providing such exceptional service during our recent move to the Seattle areaYour thorough and professional approach allowed our family to enjoy the home search process, knowing that we could rely on your firm for excellent service

Moving from out of state, we were quite unfamiliar with the local real estate market and quickly found the home search a bit daunting However, you were able to quickly discern our priorities, after carefully listening to our requirements, and provide us with a very efficient and effective home search process We appreciated your ability to work around our quick Seattle visits and busy work schedules

In addition, your skilled use of market knowledge to seek out homes that had not yet been listed allowed our family to find the perfect home Without that extra effort, we might still be searching for our home instead of enjoying it! Impressively, the service did not end at closing; your follow-though and attention to detail lead to a seamless transition to the area

Thank you again for your great service and expertise We will certainly call you again for any real estate needs and recommend your firm highly to any prospective clients
