I'm Mike, a Windermere "waterfront specialist" but not just because I say so. I’ve lived on Puget Sound beach for decades, served on my county’s Shoreline Act Advisory Board and now sell these Northwest properties I love. I know the special issues facing waterfront homes owners. For example, the main issue is simple – the MLS is not designed for us. The Northwest MLS’s 500 word / 25 still picture limitation is not robust enough for beachfront homes. There is simply too much to say, too much to show and too many other beaches to compete with. It makes marketing vacation property unique and very local.Unique rural properties like waterfront and view homes require special support I call “Casting a Wider Net.” For each client, I create a single-property website allowing more description, more pictures, videos and drones that are seen on more search engines. I advertise on Facebook, Twitter, Google +, Craigslist and others - using the full power of the Internet's reach. It’s not necessary in the city but here, to expose listings to more buyers gets quicker, better qualified higher priced results.Buyers know I was brought up on the Peninsula because of my first-hand knowledge but don’t misunderstand – nothing in real estate is more important than a Realtor who knows who he represents. Listening, having the skills, confidence and focus to selflessly negotiate, knowing loan officers, inspectors and acting solely in the interest of a client and achieve THEIR goals – it’s a privilege I do my best to earn, so clients know me as “their waterfront specialist”.
