Most buyers begin by looking at homes. It is great fun; but unfortunately, it's not the place to begin your home search.

Wouldn't it be awful to find the perfect home and then lose the home because you weren't ready to present an offer?

Here's a few proven tips to avoid delays and surprises,

1. Talk with real estate agents and learn how they manage the home search process. Is it easy is it to talk with them? Communication is vital.

2. Partner with an agent early in the search. It's a great way for your agent to understand your preferences and dislikes for your next home.

3. Know how the property will be funded - Financing or Cash- and have either a Lender Pre-Approval Letter or Evidence of Funds.

4. Ask for a copy of our "Finding Your Next Home" digital flip book which outlines the process step-by-step so your are prepared to handle tours, negotiations, and contract paperwork with less stress.

We’re Patti and Patrick Donohue, and we’ve helped many buyers across Greater Seattle navigate these steps with white-glove, personalized support.

Our goal is to make your journey as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

🏡 More homes on the market means more opportunities for buyers in King County.

Today's buyers have something they haven't had in a while—options.

With more inventory available, you can:

✔️ Compare more homes before making a decision
✔️ Take a little more time to evaluate your choices
✔️ Include inspections and other important contingencies
✔️ Negotiate repairs or seller credits with greater confidence
✔️ Pass on overpriced homes and wait for the right fit

The best homes are still selling quickly, but today's market gives buyers more flexibility than we've seen in years.

Thinking about buying? I'd be happy to help you navigate today's market and make the most of your options.
