Buying a Home with Good Resale Value

 

Buying a Home with Good Resale Value or the importance of consulting with a Real Estate Agent.  Two Clients have called me in the past couple of days with conversations that relate to this point.  First Client purchased from me about 4 years ago.  I remember at the time all the considerations they had over location and two homes they loved.  “Teresa”, they said. “Which one would you buy?”  It was clear in my mind they loved the one I did not.  Oh Boy! Do I have to answer?  Well, the short story is…They did buy the one I recommended.  I did tell them why I felt home #2 would have the best resale value. 1. Location was premium 2. Plans for the neighborhood would add value  3. Quality of construction would stand the test of time 4. Floor plan was popular  and more.  Today, these points are even more important.  This home is holding its value better then most  in this economy.   They are happy!  They have held onto the property as a rental. And the home is renting at a premium.  All Good News!

Second Client considering 3 different homes today, asks…  “Teresa, which one is your favorite”  Again, I see the big picture and will share my Experience and  knowledge honestly.   The points I will offer for consideration will have an impact on their future wealth.   Nothing makes me happier then a client calling me four years later with repeat business based on my previous service to them.

Before Buying Your next home call me,  Teresa Barthol, 425-876-9552 Your Real Estate Consultant with honest answers. You will be glad you did.

Architects in Everett

Dykeman Architect’s recent project with Haggen/Top Foods renovated store in Olympia was celebrated with a Grand Re-Opening. Haggen/Top Food’s goal statement in July 2008 “When we’re finished, this will be a modern, attractive store with amenities that our customers want.” was met and exceeded. A joy to shop! However, it’s a little to far to go for us Everett shoppers. We will be putting in a request for the same awsome renovation to take place in Top Foods Everett! Dykeman Architects what do you think?
