Questions buyers ask

Frequently asked questions about buying in Bellevue and the Eastside

Why should I use a buyer's agent in Bellevue and Eastside markets?

A buyer's agent owes you loyalty in the transaction. The listing agent represents the seller, and a builder's sales team represents the builder. I help you judge value, shape your offer, negotiate and manage due diligence through closing.

How much does buyer representation cost?

The first consultation is free. Commission is negotiable and depends on the property and services. In Washington, a firm's compensation may be paid by the seller, the buyer, a third party, or shared between firms. If we work together, our written services agreement states the amount you agree to and any sharing you consent to.

Do I have to sign a buyer agency agreement?

Yes, if we work together. Under chapter 18.86 RCW, a buyer and a brokerage firm must enter into a written services agreement before, or as soon as reasonably practical after, a broker begins brokerage services. It covers the term, the broker appointed, whether the relationship is exclusive, limited dual agency and compensation. The free first consultation commits you to nothing.

What makes Bellevue and Eastside real estate markets unique?

Downtown high-rise condominiums, Lake Washington waterfront, large-lot estates and new construction all sit within a short drive. Each has different pricing, due diligence and competition, so your strategy should fit the specific property.

How long does it take to buy a home in Bellevue or the Eastside?

Your search time depends on your criteria, inventory and financing. After mutual acceptance, closing commonly takes 30 to 60 days. New construction that has not been built yet can take 6 to 18 months from contract.

What are off-market listings and pocket listings?

These are homes offered for sale without public marketing on the MLS or listing sites, often because a seller wants privacy. I look for these opportunities through agent and builder relationships. Availability is never guaranteed, and I review value and condition the same way I would for any listed home.

Can you help with relocation to Bellevue and the Eastside?

Yes. I can plan home tours around your trip or show homes virtually, compare areas by commute and property type, and refer lenders, movers and other professionals. Start with my Northwest Relocation Guide.

What should I know about buying waterfront property on Lake Washington?

Look closely at shoreline type, dock and bulkhead condition, water depth, view corridors, flood zones, environmental rules and riparian rights. I help you bring in the right specialists before you remove your contingencies.

Do you work with first-time home buyers?

Yes. First-time buyers receive the same representation as every other client, with clear guidance on financing, offers, inspections and closing.

What financing options are available for Eastside luxury home purchases?

Options may include jumbo, portfolio and private loans, bridge loans, foreign national financing and all-cash purchases. I can refer you to specialized lenders, who determine eligibility and terms.

How competitive is the Bellevue and Eastside luxury real estate market?

It depends on the property, price and timing. Some homes draw multiple offers, while others leave room to negotiate. I review competition and recent sales before we set your terms.

What areas and neighborhoods do you serve?

I serve Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, Issaquah, Mercer Island, Medina, Clyde Hill, Yarrow Point, Woodinville, Bothell, Kenmore, Bainbridge Island and Seattle.

What happens during the home inspection process?

A licensed inspector reviews the home within the contract's inspection period. We then go through the report together and decide your next step under the contract, which may include asking for repairs or a credit. Waterfront and older homes may need additional specialists.
