Real Estate as an Investment a Business or a Home...

• Residential Real Estate Sales and Service.
• Commercial/Multi-Family Investments.
• Property Development.

There is no doubt the Seattle real estate market has been in a downturn. Experienced real estate professionals know this happens as a normal course of business, as in other years, and other downturns, real estate as an investment will recover.

The right time to buy and sell real estate is not based on what is said in newspapers, TV, the DJI, interest rate charts, unsold homes inventory charts or any other measure; but it is based on what your individual circumstances dictate. What is good for you, has very little to do with what is good for your neighbor...when it comes to buying/selling a home or business or an investment.

I'm not a cheerleader for the real estate industry.  You might be surprised when you hear from me "don't buy it or don't sell it", for I'm not a salesperson but more of a trusted adviser.  I'll provide you with the guidance, knowledge, information you'll need to make an informed buying or selling decision. 

I'm always a bit perplexed when I take someone out into the market place and "we" find something that looks to be a great deal within the first few days of researching the market.  Because I'll tell them "yes, that is a good deal" and "no, I don't advise you to buy it". Unfortunately we have not done enough looking.  I know it's a good deal because I know the market, the problem is you've just begun to educate yourself about this market and I would suggest you make a more educated decision so you are fully confidant in your decision.  Utilmatly the decision is yours to make and this property will probably sell to someone else real soon because it is a good deal.  But we can always wait for the next good deal, it will come around...they always do.
