Buying or Selling On Mercer Island – Here’s How:

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Are you on technology overload?  It seems that all of us seem to be spending more time on computers, cell phones, and other such devices, while consequently spending less time interacting face to face with family and friends.  With the wealth of information that is out there, it’s so tempting to want more and more of it.  The problem is that it’s like Bob Metcalfe–a pioneer of computer networking technology-says: “Sorting out useful information from the internet is like drinking from a fire hydrant with a soda straw.”

Well, I’m here to help you so you won’t feel overwhelmed in your search for the perfect home or condo for you and your family.  Certainly, you can narrow down your search to a particular geographic location and you can view photos of homes within that area, and you can research schools, medical facilities, etc. that are nearby.  However, when it comes to making that all important decision, you need to hear more from a trusted source that lives and works in that location.  You’ll want to know first-hand about all the beaches and parks, the grocery and drug stores.  You’ll need to find out exactly what your new lifestyle will be-what a typical day will look like in your new location.  There’s no substitution for a knowledgeable, helpful, interested help-mate who specializes in your desired locale.  That’s where I come into the picture.  Let’s get together and discuss your questions and concerns, and I’ll be able to “show and tell” you all about our glorious Mercer Island.  Please don’t hesitate to call/text/email me to help you, it will be my pleasure!

Also, if you currently live on Mercer Island and you are thinking of selling your current home, I am an expert in that-I’ve had 30 years of success.  I take the time and make a point of bringing out the special features of your home-each home has its own personality, and that’s what your prospective buyer wants to know about.  Why would your home suit him/her/them better than any other home or condo on the market?  I answer that question in the way I promote and market a property to full advantage.  A case in point: In this difficult real estate market, the beautiful condo I recently listed has already gone pending “subject to inspection”.  I have a wonderful track record of getting the job done for “top dollar,” within your time frame, with the least amount of hassle for you.  My many letters of recommendation attest to that.  Please call/text/email me for a free market analysis and consultation regarding the best plan for marketing your home.

Warm regards,

Natalie

Now is the Best Time to Buy a Home on Mercer Island

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Unless it’s extended, the deadline for taking advantage of the $8,000 tax credit expires on November 30th-which is fast approaching.  The time to buy is NOW before prices go up/interest rates go up/the 1st time buyer credit disappears.

Speaking of that, I have a great opportunity for a 1st time buyer to own a superb two bedroom Mercer Island condo at the unbelievable price of $219,000.  It features a brand new kitchen with lovely new cabinets, new stainless steel appliances, solid granite countertops with desirable “bull nose” finish, and a new stainless steel undermount sink.  The bedrooms and the formal areas are spacious.  It is light and bright with west facing window walls to the tranquil sylvan view.  It is located on the secure 3rd floor of our delightful “Mercer Isle” Condominiums.  It is ideally sited, an easy stroll to the beach and parks, to our great new Community Center with local art exhibits and activities for everyone, to Mercer Island’s wonderful shops and restaurants, and to the covered bus stop to Seattle or Bellevue.  The huge separate storage room has ample room for your out-of-season décor, your bikes, sports gear, and inherited furniture, etc.  And there is a Club House with meeting rooms and a kitchen.  You won’t find a better buy on Mercer Island! Please call/text/email me for a private showing at your convenience.  What a great way to start out on our wonderful Mercer Island!
