WaLaw Realty is Now on the Puget Sound Business Journal’s List of Top 25 Residential Real Estate Firms

April 20th, 2012 by Claire

We received some great news on this otherwise overcast and dreary Friday afternoon, today the Puget Sound Business Journal released its current issue listing the top residential real estate firms, and we’re on it! For being a small and relatively new boutique firm, we’re awfully proud of ourselves for posting numbers in competition with some of the larger real estate companies.

We are busier than ever, thanks to our Seattle home buyers and sellers who have realized the benefits and savings of using  WaLaw Realty. Check out this blog post by Craig explaining why we’re the better choice. Go us!

Second chance to view this beautiful home – OPEN HOUSE Sunday 4/15, 1-4 p.m.

April 13th, 2012 by Claire

Good news – if you  missed it last weekend, you have another chance to come see this beautiful home. This is a truly outstanding home, just listed and open Sunday 4/15 from 1-4. It’s not often you come across one like this, so come visit us and see it for yourself. Please allow us to entice you with the preview video.

 Sophisticated and chic, this spectacular home boasts gorgeous interiors, views of the Olympics and Sound, and a huge backyard and garden. This impressive home was renovated for modern living and incorporates an open floor plan opening onto a westerly deck perfect for summer days and nights. Other highlights: gourmet kitchen, formal living, office, media room, central A/C. High-tech features: CAT6 Ethernet hardwired, HDMI 1.4a, whole-house music and lighting automation capability.

Buyers, you can save money when you buy from a WaLaw seller!  If our sellers don’t have to pay the commission to a buyer’s agent, they can pass the savings on to you.  If you don’t have a real estate agent yet, speak with this seller first.  You may be able to use a lawyer rather than an agent to buy the house, which will save you money.

WaLaw Buyer’s Agent Commission Rebate: 81% More than Redfin Rebate on $500,000 Home

April 2nd, 2012 by Claire

It’s official, WaLaw Realty is 81% better than Redfin.

Did anyone else notice that Redfin has recently brought a new pricing structure to Seattle?

They now rebate between 15% to 50%, with more expensive homes getting a larger percentage.  What that means to you: On a $500k house with a 3% commission, the rebate is $5,364, compared to our $9,739.  Our rebate is 81% larger than theirs.  

It seems like Redfin is making it even easier for you to make the smart choice by using WaLaw Realty.

 

They say all press is good press, especially when it IS good press!

March 28th, 2012 by Claire

The Seattle PI recently published this press release on the success of WaLaw Realty, and our clients!

Would you believe that since this was published, we have now exceeded projections by 250%? It seems like the word is spreading about how WaLaw Realty offers a unique and valuable service, all while saving you money.

If you want to know what all the buzz is about, come visit us at our next FREE home buyer (and seller) class on April 18th.  Our last class sold out, so be sure to register early.

In the meantime, we will keep working hard to do what we do best by providing excellent real estate service and trusted legal advice, and why not top it off with a lot of money back in our clients pockets?!

WaLaw is HIRING!

March 23rd, 2012 by Craig

The Spring Buying Season has apparently sprung, which means we’ve got lots of new business.  Hooray!  But that means we’ve got a lot of work on our hands.  And since we keep the old adage “work to live, not live to work” in mind (it can be tough sometimes!) we could use an extra pair of helping hands.  And a SUPRA key and a driver’s license.  So if you or anyone you know is interested in being a part of the WaLaw revolution (Viva!) shoot me or Marc an email.  We’re looking for a licensed real estate agent who loves working with clients and who wants the assurances of an hourly position.  That’s right, no more “farming” so you can focus on your real job, helping our clients buy or sell a home.  We’d love to hear from you if you’re interested.  [First aptitude test: find my email address! ;-) ]

WOW! Our March Free Homebuyer Class is Nearly SOLD OUT!

March 14th, 2012 by Craig

Next Free Home Buying Seminar is April 18

WaLaw Realty continues its series of Free Homebuyer Classes on March 21st and April 18th.

We’re thrilled at the response to our second free homebuyer class set for March 21.  We’ve had 20 people reserve a seat, although two have cancelled so we still have two seats available.  If you hurry, you might still be able to secure one of them.  Otherwise, reserve your seat now for the April 18 class.  Our Topic?

Is the Home Seller Responsible?

We’ll be discussing the various ways in which a seller might be liable to the buyer after closing.  Needless to say, this is an excellent class for sellers as well.  As always, though, the real focus will be on the questions asked by the attendees.  Our number one goal is to insure that all questions are answered.  Oh, and that everyone gets a beverage and a slice of pizza, too…

We hope to see you!
