Real client stories, market insights, and the lessons 17 years in Duvall real estate have taught me.
A young couple from California asked every agent if they could keep a pet wallaby in Duvall. Every agent shrugged. Here's what happened when one broker actually made the call.
You can spend $10,000 a month on real estate ads. Or you can just be a recognizable person in your town. Here's what happened when a Netflix producer recognized me from Duvall TV at 11am on a Tuesday.
A 30-year-old friendship turned into a four-way alumni reunion at a closing table. Here's why the agents you graduated high school with are the ones you should actually hire.
I scanned a QR code on a Duvall business sign and DMed a stranger with a free offer. That one give-first moment turned into five real estate transactions over the next two years.
My clients inherited a parent's Bellevue home. Five days after we listed it, we were $250,000 over asking with multiple offers. Here's the exact playbook.
Eight square miles of personality, a median price under $900K, and a community that actually knows your name. Here's why Duvall deserves a serious look.
Riverview School District serves Duvall and Carnation with small class sizes, strong test scores, and a community feel that larger districts can't match.
Carnation is one of the smallest incorporated cities in King County - and for the right buyer, that's exactly the point.
Carnation has some of the best acreage deals in King County - if you understand the zoning, septic, and well requirements.
Mount Si in your backyard, I-90 to Seattle in 35 minutes, and a downtown that's become a genuine food destination.
Living near Mount Si sounds like a dream - and it is, if you understand the wildfire zones, well water, and seasonal access issues.
Snoqualmie is two markets in one: the master-planned Ridge and historic downtown. Here's how to choose.
Both are master-planned, both have great schools, both have mountain views. But one costs $200K more.
No stoplights, no big box stores, and some of the best acreage deals in King County. Fall City is for buyers who know what they want.
The SnoValley is one of King County's best areas for equestrian property. Here's what to look for, what to avoid, and what the zoning allows.
100+ wineries, the Sammamish River Trail, and a median price of $1.1M. Woodinville is the Eastside's lifestyle suburb.
Monroe offers some of the most affordable homes in the greater Eastside corridor. Here's what $680K buys you.
Microsoft, Nintendo, Marymoor Park, and a $1.35M median. Redmond is the Eastside's tech capital.
Issaquah School District, forested plateau, $1.6M median. Sammamish is the Eastside's top family market.
Downtown waterfront, Google campus, $1.2M median. Kirkland is the Eastside's walkable jewel - and where Buddy and Eve moved from.
UW Bothell, McMenamins, Burke-Gilman Trail, and a $950K median. Bothell straddles two counties and two price worlds.
Amazon, Meta, $1.7M median, and the best school district in Washington. Bellevue is where I sold a home $250K over asking.
Tiger Mountain at your doorstep, Issaquah School District, and a $1.2M median. Issaquah is where outdoor families plant roots.
Historic First Street, equestrian properties, and a $720K median. Snohomish offers Duvall-style charm across the county line.
Coal Creek Park, Lake Washington views, and a $1.3M median. Newcastle is the quiet city that view-lovers discover too late.
An island in Lake Washington, $2.2M median, and a school district that draws families from across the region.
You'll gain a yard, a garage, and quiet streets. You'll lose walkability, late-night takeout, and 30 minutes of your commute.
