BUYING AND SELLING

Buying or selling your home is a life-changing decision in many ways. 

 

You might be feeling concerned about the high cost of Seattle-area housing, limited inventory, or interest rates. Or maybe you and your partner don’t see eye-to-eye on the type of home you want or exactly when you should move. These concerns are normal!

 

You might think you have to figure out how to address all of these concerns on your own because a realtor only handles the transactional part of the deal. That used to be the case, but things have changed! 

 

Now, you can have a real estate agent invested in you rather than the transaction. You can have an agent who supports you and negotiates everything that’s important to you. 

     

Here’s the thing: You’re smart. You don’t need an agent to tell you that a few new houses have come on the market. There are probably five real estate sites that already pinged you with that information. 

 

Information is helpful, but it doesn't get the job done. I do. 

     

Now that you’re looking at a map of exciting properties on your phone, what’s next? After you’ve honed in on a few good possibilities, are you ready for the next step? What is the next step, and how do you get there? 

 

You need a plan for what to do with all the information at your fingertips. And you need someone to help you navigate all the moving pieces so you won’t have to struggle through a complicated process or risk missing the perfect opportunity. 

 

What you’re managing during home buying or selling has become much more complex than it used to be. The service and support from your Realtor® needs to be holistic enough to help manage it. 

 

When I serve as your Realtor®, you’ll benefit from my expertise as a project manager, perspective as an investor, and input as someone experienced in full home renovations.

 

We’ll work together to manage your needs, your budget, and your schedule so you can live your life. 

 

Yes, as the saying goes—it’s all about you.

Why Buy with Me?

Buying a new home is an exciting time in your life, and Seattle is an amazing place to live! 

 

However, homebuying can be an emotional process, which can cloud decision-making and lead you to compromise. 

 

You could feel rushed by an offer deadline, desperate to find something (maybe anything) in a tricky market with low inventory. 

 

As your Realtor®, I’ll help you find a home you’ll love. 

 

Finding the right home for you is just one part of the buying process. This is where a plan tailored to meet your unique needs becomes a game-changer.

 

Support my clients enjoy:  

  • Providing relocation services (including Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and UW)

  • Finding short-term housing or a rental while you get to know Seattle and the right neighborhoods for you

  • Finding temporary storage between homes

  • Connecting you with schools, daycares and family resources

  • Managing house projects and repairs before move-in

  • Ensuring your home is prepared for a smooth move-in day!

Your job is making sure you’re buying the right home for the right reasons. Don’t worry, I’ll remind you.

Gwyneth was able to work magic in a difficult market. We couldn't afford to buy a new home in Seattle until we sold our current home. This opened the possibility of needing to move out of our home before finding our new home and doing both within 2 weeks, which is never ideal.

 

Gwyneth built a strategy that allowed us to put our home on the market, accept an offer, and get our offer accepted for our new home in just over a week.

 

She was responsive, great at working with other agents, and put the needs of our family first throughout the process.

Why Sell with Me?

As the old saying goes, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” And when it comes to selling a home, truer words have never been spoken! 

 

Your first few days on the market are your best opportunity to sell for top dollar. Your home needs to appeal to the largest audience possible—and fast. Pricing your home competitively is key, as is presenting your home in its best light, where potential buyers can see themselves living there as happily as you have.  

 

Wait! Before you tackle that project list, let’s talk! I stay current on what buyers are looking for and will work with you to prioritize getting the best return on your investment, impressing buyers, and keeping it simple! 

 

Here are just a few more ways I love to help:

  • Managing home updates and repairs

  • Preparing your home, decluttering and storage

  • Sequencing your moving and logistics

  • Customizing exposure through industry networks and local community outlets

Let me walk you through the process step by step. I’ll help you put your best foot forward so you can outshine the competition and maximize your home’s sale.

We could not have asked for a better realtor. This was our second home purchase; the first time we went with a referral from a friend and it didn't go particularly well. We were nervous this time around both because of our prior experience and also because home prices and competition here are so fierce.

Gwyneth went above and beyond for us! She is a skilled negotiator and an excellent networker - she was incredibly responsive and has a great network of contractors, inspectors, etc that she can pull in at a moment's notice.  

 

She made a very stressful situation in a very competitive market feel smooth and painless.  We love our new home - thank you, Gwyneth!
