Seattle
Seattle is a fantastic city for a lot of reasons, but one of the best things about it is the natural beauty that surrounds us. Nothing beats a crystal clear day when you can see the Olympic Mountains and Mount Rainier. But even on rainy days which, yes, we do have a few of here, the views of Puget Sound and Lake Washington are breathtaking. Seattle has a rainy reputation, but our best kept secret is how spectacular our summers are. While a lot of the country is sweltering with heat and humidity, we're basking in the perfect warm days and our long summer days allow us to enjoy water sports, hiking and cycling and tending to our gardens. In the winter, skiing and snowboarding are only an hour away. People recognize Seattle by the Space Needle and Pike Place Market, but we also have a thriving arts and cultural scene, great art museums, symphony, opera, and ballet.
Reviews
“Van is incredibly knowledgeable about condos and homes in and around Seattle. Not only does he have expert knowledge about the market and its current trends but he is well versed with all parts of purchase and sale agreements. Van was and still is responsive to all needs and questions that I have about real estate in Seattle. If you are looking to buy or sell a home in Seattle or its surrounding areas you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't connect with Van. I can't think of any real estate situation that Van isn't perfect for.”

“Our needs were very specific and the Seattle market was a challenge to find everything we wanted. Van is very good at understanding what kind of home his clients are asking for, even if they don't know yet. We definitely didn't know what we were doing since this was our first home in the area. His experience in the area is obvious and the homes he recommended where top notch! He was very patient and showed us many homes. In the end, we found a great place with all of the features we wanted. Van went the extra mile to help out and we were able to close the deal before the end of 2015 and no longer have to pay rent! If you're looking for a realtor with a lot of patience and a within reach, I recommend talking to Van. Thank you.”

“Van made himself available 24/7 and was willing to help with any question I had, no matter how obscure or difficult. His experience in a very competitive Seattle market really set him apart from anybody else and is the sole reason I was able to get a new condo as quickly as I did. He is honest and really understands what I was looking for in a new place. I would 100 percent recommend Van to all of my friends and family moving to Seattle!”
