Because the Seattle market continues to be such a robust market despite national downturns, things can happen quite quickly.  Diane counsels all her clients whether first time buyers or veterans of the market to first and foremost be prepared.

Taking the time to do the following is the best insurance towards getting the home you want:

Planning:  Determine what your goals and motivations are at this time for purchasing a home.

Financial Preparedness:  Finding a loan officer that encourages you to consider both the short and long term perspective when considering a loan product.

Neighborhood Evaluation:  Have you done your research on the neighborhoods that are most appealing to you at this time and work with the budget that you have set up?

Timeline:  When do you hope to be in this home and are you prepared to move should something come up earlier?

Diane is an invaluable resource in helping you be as prepared as possible before buying a home.  Not only has she lived in Seattle for 20 years and knows the various neighborhoods intimately, but having been in real estate for many years has many resources at her fingertips.
