Hi Charlie,

I'm a licensed Realtor working in Snohomish and King county.  Relationships can be difficult to build in this type of online format, so I'll spare you the cliche pitch regarding my qualifications and how I might be of service, but I would love the opportunity to meet for a coffee and hear about what you guys are looking for in an agent and see if I might be a good fit to add value to your business.

Please feel free to private message me if you'd like more details about me professionally or personally or to discuss a possible meeting.  

Thanks!

Hi Mushfiq,

I think you have a great starting point with the comp next door and your strategy and outlook. As your probably remember from the buying process, condo's have some unique factors when it comes to the buying and selling process and there are some key elements involved that don't apply to selling a single family residence for example. I'd be happy to meet for a coffee and discuss these points in more detail, as well as a fee structure you'd be comfortable with. I will private message you and hopefully we can set something up. 

Hi Lyall,

I'd be happy to pull some comps on your sister's house and get you some more info.  If you'd like to private message me the details I can get something back to you asap.

Thanks!

@Chris Ahlemann would you mind sending me the property address in a private message?  I'd like to pull comps off the NWMLS.  Thanks!

If the deal doesn't work for you it sounds like there might be just enough equity for her to be able to sell at fair market value and pocket a few thousand dollars after taxes and fees without selling short. 

Borderline whether this would be an arms length transaction in the banks eyes. I'm sure they wouldn't catch it, but still a little risky. 

Hi Tim,

I know some investors that have had some success in the Des Moines and SeaTac area.  There are some great homes in North Tacoma (the nice part of Tacoma).  I take it you are talking about a buy/hold opportunity?  Where I live, in Everett (25 miles north of downtown), there are some up-and-coming neighborhoods that will hopefully continue to grow.  They are in the process of a $360 million waterfront mixed-use development project that should add value to the community.  You are also seeing folks migrate even farther north to Lake Stevens, Snohomish and Marysville as competition grows and inventory remains lows.  

Just stumbled on this post - Chris, did you end up purchasing this property?

looks like it might be a teardown. See the listing agent remarks below:

MAJOR FIXER. Dangerous to enter. Portions of framing may or may not still be usable. Listing Brokers & representatives unable to access interior due to debris, failing flooring, ceilings, roof. Likely extreme water damage in basement. No preinspections, access only by licensed, bonded contractors after mutual acceptance upon signed waiver of liability. Also listed as vac land. Desirable Belvidere Terrace location, sited high above Belvidere Ave, some views from second floor, Buyer to verify.

Listen on 1.5x speed and plow through them!!
