Dreams of a View and More Space in Gatewood

August 16, 2017 Tara Farquhar

"Tara was very professional, knowledgeable and honest. I work in the real estate business and she is one of the best agents I have worked with. We worked well together and she knew what was needed to get our house ready for the market. We exceeded our goals and handling multiple offers was a very smooth process due to clear explanation of the process. We had a few different buying situations come up during our process of buying a home. Tara took the time to assess the situations and gave great advice in handling each unique deal. She always had her clients needs in mind and was willing to work through situations with out pressuring for a quick sale."

SUMMER SLOWDOWN… A SIGN OF THINGS TO COME?

I love this quote: “Half the interest of a garden is in the constant exercise of the imagination”. ~Mrs. C. W. Earle. It is also so pertinent to this month’s topic – container gardening. There are many choices you can put into that new, shiny ceramic pot that you just got as a gift or purchased at a store.

Seattle summers are the best! Tanner and I are almost done with all of our yard updates and can finally enjoy the fruits of our labor. It has been quite a transformation.

Purchase in Renton Highlands

July 10, 2017 Tara Farquhar

Congratulations on the new house M&A!!!! After making 2 other offers outside of their ideal neighborhood, we found this sweet rambler tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac.

There were three offers on this house. One of which, was was made by an investor who had offered the sellers better terms than ours.

I had the opportunity to meet the seller and learned that this was his childhood home. His mother had passed away 6 months before and he was very emotionally attached to the home. Although we were limited on price and a couple of terms, we were able to think outside the box and make the offer appeal to what was most important to the sellers. A quick and easy move, a sense of closure, the satisfaction of knowing who was moving in and what the plans were for the house.

M, A and the kids were able to stay within their school district, have a huge, private yard with lots of trees, and find a house with a layout that will be perfect for them.

I can't wait to see what they do with this sweet home!

As you may have heard, Seattle is now the nation's fastest growing city. We have thousands of people moving to Seattle, but not enough housing to meet the demand. With the upcoming growth of our tech industry, this trend will continue.
