Buying

FIND YOUR NEW HOME

With Expert Support From Our Brokers

Seattle is an incredible place to call home, and there’s good reason why so many buyers are eager to enter the market here. Our brokers are backed by the power of Windermere, and are all experts in their own right. Here are some of the things our brokers can assist with in the home buying process:

NEIGHBORHOOD KNOWLEDGE

With Seattle’s many diverse neighborhoods, finding the right match for your lifestyle, commute and needs is key. Our brokers are not only experts on the area — they’re local. They can provide an insider’s perspective as you begin your home search.

BUYER EDUCATION

Whether this is your first time buying a home or your fiftieth, our brokers will make sure you’re up-to-speed on the current state of the housing market and home buying process. They can provide recommendations for trusted local lenders, a breakdown of the buying process, and answers for any of your other questions.

FOCUSED SEARCH

With new homes being added to the market every day, it can be tricky to know where to look. Your broker can help you keep the search focused to the neighborhoods and homes that are the best fit for you, while keeping you informed through their own broker network of promising new listings. Your broker can also assist you with digital home search tools, including using the Northwest Multiple Listing Service (MLS).

COMPETITIVE OFFERS

We live in a competitive market. Because of this, you’ll likely be up against other buyers when you’re ready to bid on a house. Your broker will coach you through the process, taking into consideration your financial situation, the value of the home, the level of competition and other factors to help you craft an offer that is most likely to appeal to the seller.

TRANSACTION MANAGEMENT

Once your offer is accepted, your broker will coordinate the details of the transaction with the seller’s agent, escrow and all other involved parties. Full-service real estate means seeing things through to the end, and all of our brokers are exceptional project managers who will ensure your closing moves swiftly and smoothly.
