Luxury Service at Every Price PointI'm pleased to announce that the Sound Properties Team made the transition to Marketplace Sotheby's International Realty at the beginning of 2017. Why did we make the move? We saw our future and our marketplace become increasingly influenced by an international influx of talent, variety of nationalities and demand for more sophisticated marketing and exposure. A combination of the Global sophistication of the Sotheby's brand combined with the Local ownership of Marketplace created the perfect blend of Northwest class with a focus on Luxury Service. A truly international company, Sotheby's guarantees we can reach the Global Marketplace with certainty and ease. The ownership group of Marketplace goes out of their way to support their Brokers with marketing, promotional opportunities, administrative support, endless classes, education, and advice. This switch has allowed our team to focus on what is really important.. OUR CLIENTS! We specialize in : * Waterfront / View Homes * Estate Sale Properties * Senior Transitions * Traditional Residential Sales We work with both Buyers and Sellers and collectively have over 50 years of experience. We are all Full time Agents that pride ourselves are staying current and active in all markets around the Sound.

Real Estate has changed dramatically over the last 5-10 years. Whereas it used to be that Realtors were the keepers of the information... due to technology, that information is now readily available to the pubic via the internet. The main role of a Realtor has gone from "keeper of information", to one of Consultant and Negotiator. There are many different types of sales in the market these days, Bank owned homes, Government owned homes, Short Sales, and Traditional (Equity) sales. Each of these types of sales needs to be approached and handled differently in the negotiation stage for a buyer during the purchase. Likewise there are many different strategies when it comes to listing a home for sale.. the best strategy will be determined based on your location, micro market, goals and timelines. Additionally, there are new Laws, rules and regulations ( = required paperwork) which continue to change at a consistent pace with regards to Real Estate.... As a Full-Time, experienced agent, Tanya stays educated and informed as to the latest requirements and laws and will have the knowledge and experience to help her clients to obtain their goals.
