Who knew my past retail furniture experience would be so useful in real estate?

Filed under: staging, King County, South Park, single family, real estate, Puget Sound, seller, buyer, Seattle, Washington — Reba Haas @ 2:01 pm

At the early part of my career, I used to manage 3 stores and a warehouse for a locally owned children’s furniture store called Kid’s Quarters. While the store is no longer in business in the Seattle area, the experience I gained in merchandising has stayed with me and for the past 6 years has been useful in my real estate business but now re-titled “staging”.

We’ve had a philosophy of providing Concierge Services ever since Team Reba decided to put a focus on listing properties and one of the services we provide to all of our clients, no matter the price point, is staging. We also provide professional photography on each listing as well so that our online and print advertising of any home is top notch.

A good case in point would be a recent 1bd/1ba house in South Park that my colleague, Robin Tomazic, just put on market. The house by itself was not much to look at as the owner made it overly beige and bland. But we added a few things to give it depth, color and a hint as to what a new owner could do with it and we’ve had strong activity in showings and buyer activity - enough to get a cash offer submitted as of today. This house is listed just under $150,000 in Seattle so you can see that price point is not high (for our area at least).

516 S Concord Seattle exterior

We’ve got another redesign of our own coming up soon in the Ballard/Phinney Ridge area soon so I hope to post some “before” and “after” photos of that when it’s done. For anyone interested in working with us on a home sale, please feel free to contact us and ask for more information on these services.

New listing coming in Taluswood (Redmond, WA) near Microsoft

Filed under: King County, market activity, Fair Housing, townhouse, FHA/VA, Microsoft, Woodinville, Conventional loans, staging, wine/food, Puget Sound, buyer, seller, HOA, mortgage/loan, real estate, condo, Redmond, Washington — Reba Haas @ 12:07 pm

We’ve got a new listing that will come on next week in Redmond at the very European feeling development of Taluswood townhome condominiums out on Avondale Road. This complex was built back in 2002 and at the time a very good friend of mine was buying a new unit there. Well, now one of his neighbors will be selling her ADA compliant unit in one of the more uncommon layouts there of a 2-story (rather than 3) unit with one large parking garage and an extra assigned space next to the unit. With 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, this end unit opens up to the lovely park grounds of the development. Tall ceilings in the living, dining and kitchen. Ceilings fans are in each of the bedrooms, including the Master bedroom on the main floor. One of the upper bedrooms has access via continential style bath so is like a 2nd master in the home.

Fresh paint, new carpets, and brand new Corian style counters in the kitchen plus many updated and beautifully ornate light fixtures. Close to Microsoft and commuting via 520 or 405. Easy access up to Woodinville wine country.

Coming on around September 22nd. Feel free to contact us early if you want to learn more.
