Real Estate with a Conscience

There are so many headlines about the real estate market in Seattle. Is it a bubble? Or are we five years behind California’s Bay Area? Is there still affordable housing in the city? Where and how should I invest? Perhaps even more overwhelming than these questions is the amount of money that changes hands in this business. People assume that in a strong market that is appreciating, real estate agents are getting rich quick, but that is only partially true. There are certainly a small number of successful realtors making a fortune, but most are not. In fact, a competitive market like Seattle is more difficult than other areas because of the limited housing and multitude of agents.

My point is this: I am not merely about the bottom line- I did not get into this business with hopes of striking it rich. I believe that there is so much more to real estate than just financial transactions and contractual paperwork. I believe in real estate with a conscience- that home buying and selling is done best when the broader community is taken into consideration. Real estate can only be done with integrity when there is more than just profits at stake- and that is why I believe in giving back to the buyer and the community.

Whether it’s by cultivating neighborhood connections or merely providing the type of service that makes a house a home, I want to give back. Your business is not just my paycheck- it is an opportunity to better our communities and make the places we live more than just a space to occupy. Let’s get connected!
