5915 Seward Park Ave S — Inside Look

By

I was touring homes on the South side of Seattle and came across this lovely home near Seward Park. I only had time for a few quick pictures with my iPhone, but I knew from the moment I stepped into the octagonal foyer that I would find plenty of charm further inside. It may lack some modern conveniences, but if you like the look of colorfully tiled bathrooms, old radiators, and masonry you would probably enjoy looking inside.

Bought a Single Family home in 2015 for approximately $400K in Port Orchard, WA.

Marius did an amazing job as our buyer’s agent. We had a wide search area and a long list of unusual criteria, but he was able to handle it all with ease. He worked with us to set up a very precise search filter, and saved a lot of time by researching each property’s available records before driving out to see them. We still looked at a lot of places all over the Puget Sound region – spanning 8 counties! – but our tireless search paid off with a PERFECT home. Beyond the search, Marius was an excellent guide all the way through closing the deal. He has a brilliant attention to detail, and patiently explained the intricacies of the process. Lightning-fast communication and excellent advice from Marius saved us from several pitfalls! His negotiation skills got us everything we wanted out of the deal, and by the end, we learned this: Listen to Marius! He has a habit of being right!

Someone recently asked me how I find awesome homes for the buyers I help. Honestly, my answer was lame: once I get to know a buyer, I intuitively know “the one” when I see it. I think I have a knack for finding awesome homes, but there is a method. That conversation inspired me to pull back the curtain and reveal how I go about doing things in the world of real estate.
