After looking at the condition and updates of your property and comparing it to other properties that are pending and sold in your area (based on a 1 mile radius and similar square footage +/- 20%), the data shows me that if we list your house at $650,000 - we will be able to leverage the current market trends to get your home sold for the most money, in the least amount of time... and based on the average of 4% that similar prices are selling for OVER their asking price, there is a strong likelihood that we would receive multiple offers and your home would sell for between $660,000 - $700,000. The average Days on Market (DOM) in your area is 4 days and properties are on average selling for 4% over the list prices... if they are priced properly. Taking that information into account, if I help you position your home in the best-light to the ideal buyer, and market it properly (which of course I will), It's quite possible that we'll receive multiple offers and get your home sold for you higher than my list price recommendation above. Please reference the attached Comparable Market Analysis PDF, for a breakdown of the most recent relevant market activity in your area and what it means for our pricing strategy of your home. It's worth noting that all our sold comps are from last year (cooler market) and I called on the Pending property to see how much it's pending for (which isn't reflected on this PDF) but the received 5 OFFERS and it's pending for $761,000!!! That's $121,000 OVER ASKING PRICE!!! Now, there is no way that it will appraise at that price but apparently the buyer waived everything, so that will be a strong comp and tells us that THERE ARE 4 OTHER BUYERS THAT DIDN'T GET THEIR OFFER ACCEPTED WHO WANT TO BE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD!

I obviously can't predict the future, but I do know how to help clients prepare their homes and how to market them. These will guarantee top dollar in any given real estate market. The attached comparable sales data is based the most recent market activity in your neighborhood, using the same properties in the more aesthetically pleasing Home Valuation Analysis above (some people just want to see the data). These are organized by Active, Pending and Sold homes. (To view/download attached document, click on image and "download" button on the right)

Location, condition, updates and views all play significantly when determining the value and what a Buyer is willing to pay for a home. I've put together a PDF of all the listing pictures from the comparable properties I used to determine the market value of your property above. Feel free to take a look through the attached (and rather long) PDF to get a good feel for which properties have views or have modern kitchen and bath remodels. You can then cross-reference the above reports to see how those factors affected the sale price and what a buyer was wiling to pay (vs. homes with no views or that haven't been remodeled).

As we discussed during the walkthrough, these are my recommendations to maximize the "curb appeal", initial buyer impressions and ultimately, the sale price of your home: • Call the city and get the final inspection for the permit sign-off. • I would recommend having the carpet professionally cleaned (I've got a recommendation for you) and hire a cleaner for a "move-out cleaning" once it's vacant but before the staging is delivered. Other then that, it's really a nicely updated property and in great shape and will show well.>> • Paint touchup were needed. • Clean the decking real good • Any other cheap cosmetic fixes that you think of that you know are needed and that would appeal to buyers. • We'll want to take into account what works best for your timeframe, but generally speaking, I would recommend listing sooner than later. Preferably in April and not wait until May, if at all possible. This is primarily because I know there are motivated buyers who made offers but not had them excepted on properties just like your house in your neighborhood... and the longer we wait, the more likely they will find and buy something else... not to mention, the peak of the market is in May, and we don't want to miss it. • I'm also a bit unconventional in that I DON'T recommend doing Open Houses, unless the Seller is living in the property during the listing period because doing open houses can make it easier on the Seller to not have to receive so many showing requests from Buyer Agents. In this day-and-age, the vast majority of Buyer's will find & view your property online first and if they are a serious Buyer, they will have an Agent who can show them the property (or if nothing else, they can get ahold of me to show them the property.

Statics and market trends show that listing your home on the lower side of fair-market value will generate more interest and a quicker sale time for higher—as opposed to listing at a higher price, which statistically will result in less interest, longer time on market and eventually a lower selling price. It's ALWAYS better to list lower than higher in a Sellers Market. BE VERY CAUTIOUS OF OTHER AGENTS SAYING YOU SHOULD LIST FOR A PRICE MUCH OVER WHAT I'M RECOMMENDING! I see it all to often where other agents will ignore the market data and over promise on what a home owner can sell their house for (so they can "win the listing" when the owners are interviewing multiple agents) but then once it comes on the market, it gets little interest and no offers because it's over priced... and then the price reductions start and it ends up selling for way under what was promised, if it sells at all. Let the market data determine what Buyers are willing to pay for your home... not an over confident real estate agent who is just trying to "win" your listing.

It's great to talk about the projected sale price of your property but what really matters is how much you will actually make AFTER you account for paying off your mortgage and the other costs of selling (generally estimated to be about 10%). Please see attached Estimated Net Proceeds Sheet for the breakdown of costs and total profit (based on the projected sale price of your property, of course).

The specifics of the timeline will obviously vary, depending on which option you decide to go with (vacant, occupied or staged).

We can adjust as necessary. (To view/download attached document, click on image and "download" button on the right)

I believe that life is about making a difference — a difference for our clients, for our agents, and ultimately for our community. I lead from the front by setting the standard for my other agents on my team through encourage and empowering them to be the best they can be, in always doing the right thing and being true advocates for their clients. Personally, I know homes and real estate inside and out.

Only a few years into having my license, I founding Sea-Town Real Estate, an Independent real estate brokerage in West Seattle and I now operate as the Managing Broker and team leader of The Sea-Town Team.
