photos by Tiffany, the Fancy Farmgirl ~ it's Tiffany's mad photography skills that draw folks to her but it is her warmth & energy that make them want to be her friend. Oozing with creativity and charm, she made us feel comfy & cozy at home on her parents farm. For our session, the shy was the limit. She let the kids be free and spirited, really allowing their personalities to shine through lens and land on the photo. She has a gift of capturing the essence of the subjects in her photos .... each photo as unique as the person. We can hardly wait to do it again. Thanks for all of the gingerbread men ~

This home is simply put, understatedly elegant. {Is understatedly a word?} Or maybe it's modestly elegant ~ in that it has every right to come across as 'affluent' or 'lavish', instead it has chosen to be warm, comfortable and very open to catering to the beauty within ~ the family. Finally a place that will allow 65 guests to comfortably gather. With room, room to have a soccer field, set up a game of volleyball or room to have esteemed family celebrations. There is something for everyone in this 3,000 sf home. A 3 car garage, check. Huge Bonus Room, check. A Den, check check. E.N.O.R.M.O.U.S 48x48 Barn with covered RV parking and unfinished Mother-In-Law, check. A meticulously maintained home for an active family to grow.

Check out this place. Here is a home for those who like to deviate from the ordinary. I love it. It is slightly shabby chic, has hints of a southern flare and the blueprint was created to resemble a Lousiana Mansion .... oh so cool, for oh so many reasons. It is off the beaten path in Arlington ~ tucked away and surrounded by trees. Can you imagine working from home or finally having a place to foster a passion. The kind of home that make fairytales seem like a possibilty. What do you think?

March Homes

2009-03-14T18:20:00.000-07:00

Q: "How is the real estate market?" {A questions that I am asked almost daily.}

A: Without question, it is a challenging time to sell. However, it is a GREAT time to buy! Falling prices + Interest Rates at 5% + Recent Tax benefits = BUYERS Market.
The homes I've chosen for the March issue of the Real Estate Book, have either significantly dropped in price -or- are NEW on the market. Enjoy! And as always, I look forward to hearing from you!

Warmly,
Tanya

I am seeing activity

2009-01-18T17:21:00.000-08:00

2008 was a tough year for most. It was especially rough on Home Sellers ~ although there are many things to be grateful for, I can add to the list: I am grateful that 2008 is behind us. Since the New Year, I am happy to report that homes are selling. In fact, in the last couple of weeks; my Windermere Snohomish office has been buzzing with phone calls, guests walking in and wanting to sell their home and buyers calling to inquire on our local listings! So refreshing. Activity breeds sales & I tell you, there is no better conversation to have with my clients, than: "I have an offer." It has been a long road for us all, but hang in there. It will take a little longer if you need to sell, but with some AGGRESSIVE Marketing, a lot of expertise & a new found perspective on market values, it can be done. Feel free to call me with any questions regarding your real estate investment.

Warmly,
Tanya

Casual Conversation

2008-12-07T21:54:00.000-08:00

Welcome ~ to a more casual and artistic form of my Real Estate Marketing. A little less stuffy, a little more me. A place for me to voice an honest opinion about the current market and keep you informed first hand; on the local Real Estate Market. So, you would have had to have lived in a cave over the last six months to not know that the real estate market has been {to put it kindly} 'tough' on home sellers. I am here to assure you that there is hope and it lies in the hands of our More Experienced Agents. More now than ever, is it critical to hire a Reputable Agent from a noteworthy brokerage. Now that our market times are longer {six months) means the Marketing and Exposure needs to be premier, strategically & consitantly scheduled to maximize exposure over longer periods of time.

The bright side to all of this is for our Buyer's. Not only our home Buyers able to get unbelievable prices on BEAUTIFUL homes but interest rates are as low as 5%! The government has put money out there to encourage 1st Time Home Buyers to make a move. There is a zero down USDA loan available {backed by the government} easing the expense to first time home buyers. Combined with the $7500 tax credit, first time home buyers can move in and even have reserves for a rainy day. And believe it or not, the high end stuff is still moving! Cash buyers who don't need financing are finding this market extremely profitiable. So if you are on the fence, or waiting to sell "until the market gets better", I encourage you to start the conversation, inquiries and get a market value on your home. I am seeing more activity over the last couple of weeks and 2009 is bound to be more fruitful and encouraging than the year past. I look forward to chatting with you and as always, don't hesitate to call or e-mail me with any questions. ~ Tanya
