Let’s Talk About Seattle Real Estate

Remember to take the long view while building something substantial. Work in the “real economy“ to produce something of value. In these troubled times, there will appear other new financial games and scams, as well as good legitimate business ideas. But all these ideas, even the good ones, will be incidental. They will be small afterthoughts loosely attached to the real and substantial edifice we create when our efforts are dedicated to solving the problems presented to us by this maddening economy. The edifice is the life that we create from realistic and practical behaviors devoted to creating things which develop over a long period of time. Don’t pay too much atterntion to the incidentals; always look at the edifice. I invite you to continue the discussion with me, either online, by email or phone.  Can you think of a better time than now to start building? Happy New Year!

This is a time of seeming chaos growing out of unsettling financial events, but not a time when you should be afraid or nervous about planning for your future needs. We all need to start a discussion, with ourselves and others, about what we want to accomplish, next year and in all the years to come. In these stressful times, the ability to step back and review what you want out of a situation, without emotion and fearful attachment, will help point the way to a clearer path to useful action. That is what good real estate brokers do in the heat (or chaos) of a transaction, but its also a role that we can play as you make your real estate plan when the world around seems somewhat chaotic.
I  would like to help you start that conversation about the planning process and working with others to help reach your goals.  Now is the time for conversation and reflection to support a plan that has enough flexibility to navigate the opportunities and new developments that will occur in the economy and consequentially the real estate and financial markets in the next 12 to 18 months.  Please don’t wait until you think the time is right to act to start the conversation - have those conversations now and be ready to move into action when the indicators show that the time is right for you. Let’s talk soon (206-919-4888).
