Saved for the down payment and still not sure if that’s enough?

Cash to close usually means more than one line item. Earnest money may be due early, inspections are usually paid out of pocket, closing costs are separate, and appraisal-gap funds only matter if your offer includes them. I also want buyers to keep some reserve money after move-in.

I walk Washington buyers through this before we start writing offers.

If you want, I can help you map out the real number for your budget.

Relocating in Washington? These 5 checks can save you some very expensive surprises.

• Septic or sewer: ask who maintains it and what the ongoing costs look like.
• Well water: check testing history, flow, filtration, and service access.
• Irrigation: find out the water source, season, and repair responsibility.
• Propane: confirm tank ownership, refill options, and what it powers.
• Internet: verify real provider options and actual speeds at the house.

If you want, I can help you build this checklist into your home search.

Before you sign a buyer agreement, do you know what each section is actually saying?

In plain English: exclusivity is who you agree to work with, compensation is how your agent gets paid, term length is how long the agreement lasts, and cancellation is how the relationship can end if needed.

I walk buyers through this often in Washington, and the best conversations happen before a signature, not after.

If you want help reading one with less jargon, I’m happy to talk it through.

In Washington, a seller disclosure can look routine until one checked box changes your inspection plan, insurance quote, or repair budget.

Before you offer, slow down on roof and leak history, water and sewer answers, major systems, and any repairs or claims that need follow-up.

I walk buyers through these details so the list price is not the only number guiding the decision.

If you want a second set of eyes before you write, I'm happy to help.

Love the condo but unsure what the HOA paperwork is really telling you?

Before you write an offer, look beyond the finishes. HOA dues, reserve funds, rental caps, pet rules, and special assessments can all change the real cost and your future flexibility.

In Washington condo purchases, this review is often where the big surprises show up.

If condo buying is on your radar, I’m happy to help you know what to ask for before you commit.
