RE Agent/CPA Recommendations

[Account Closed]

Hello all,

I will be moving to Seattle, Washington this summer and I was hoping someone on BP could help me out and recommend some service providers.

I am looking for a CPA in the Seattle area that can assist me with all my property investment and tax preparation needs.

I am also looking for a real estate agent in the Seattle area that can assist me in finding some investment properties. I am interested in single family homes and multi-family properties (duplex).

I think the lease option route is my best bet as I am not familiar with the market there and don't want to be pressured to buy something immediately, but I also don't want my rental payment to go to waste either, I want to have it work for me a little bit. Hence my desire for a lease option.

So, the real estate agent will need to be familiar with this type of transaction and all the other nuances associated with an investment property client.

Thanks in advance for the consideration and I hope to hear from some of you.

-John
