Hello, 2022! I hope your holiday season was a reprieve from everyday life and allowed you to reconnect with loved ones. The new year is here and the time has come to plan for what's ahead. While current events can be taxing or unmotivating, I plan to stay positive, inspired, and grateful, and I encourage you to stay hopeful and happy!
In this month’s IT List, I share listing updates, the 2022 Luxury Outlook, our current edition of Madison Park Living, and heartwarming feedback from a past client. If a move is a part of your real estate journey in 2022, let's work together and make it happen. I look forward to serving your endeavors!
Cheers!
Expert Advice & Predictions
Appraisal can be one of the more controversial parts of any real estate transaction or even what keeps a deal from going through. That is why I chose to enjoy a cup of coffee with Vince Healy, owner of Clearpoint Appraisal. With over 35 years of experience evaluating Seattle's most complex estates, I knew that Vince would be just the person to discuss the factors that go into property appraisals and make predictions about what we will see in-home evaluations in the coming months.
It won't be the first time you have heard this, but 2021 was anything but typical, especially for the real estate market. Quarter Four followed suit as we saw no reprieve for the holidays in our local landscape. Find out what else we saw in Q4 that might inform the new year.

We were referred to Laura Halliday by a friend in Seattle who highly recommended her based on her own experience buying a home in Broadmoor. Our house criteria evolved and were refined by Laura’s knowledge and insights into the initial neighborhoods we thought might be possibilities. Because we were buying the house while on the East Coast, her partnership was even more critical and valuable. Laura was our eyes on the ground. She visited numerous houses on our behalf and was quick to point out the potential in the houses as well as potential issues. After six months, we found a house on Mercer Island and Laura helped us structure our offer with the right terms which allowed us to win a very competitive bidding process. We are very excited to move back to Seattle and have Laura to thank for getting us our dream house. We highly recommend you use Laura to help you find your next house in the Greater Seattle area.

Laura is a wonder. She is kind, professional, had great ideas as to how to show the house to its best advantage (remove many, many things so that people can see the house), she is a wonderful advocate for you, and she really is right on top of things. She is very honest which is such a wonderful gift and makes it so easy to work with her. She really knows a house and the neighborhood and can help you find your way—either in or out! Her negotiation skills are outstanding, and she will do her very best for you—and her very best is terrific! I cannot say enough good things about her.
