Seattle is my home. I grew up in the Seattle area, graduating from King's High School in Shoreline, and attended Seattle Pacific University, where I earned a bachelor's degree in communication. I have lived in multiple Seattle neighborhoods including Queen Anne and South Lake Union. My family and I now reside in Edmonds, a suburb just north of the city.

Closing is the seventh and final step in your journey to buying a house in the Seattle area. The sixth step to buying a house in the Seattle area is what I call the due diligence phase. At this point, your offer has already been accepted and all efforts are directed towards closing on. This is the first step to buying a home in the Seattle area.
In this video, I discuss whether or not you should write a love letter to the seller when making an offer to buy a home. Buyers are trying to stand out and writing a real estate love letter.

Zach did a great job helping me purchase and sell my first home. The whole experience was easy and straight forward. His entire team was able to answer any question I had and his weekly check-ins to make sure everything was going well were very helpful. It was awesome to work with him.

We recently bought on home in Edmonds and Zach walked us through the process. The whole process was done remotely since we live in a different state. We house-hunted for about 4 months with some discouraging moments. Zach and his team were great throughout. Zach was super-responsive and the whole team was quick to act. He kept things realistic - helping us to put strong offers forward without promising anything. His sense of the market and various circumstances was on point, and we felt we were in good hands all the way through. The remote shopping was tough because we were never able to see any

My husband and I just closed on our first house thanks to Zach and his team. The Seattle real estate market is stressful and intimidating for first timers, but we felt confident and equipped to make a strong offer with Zach's guidance. He coached us through the entire process, checked in on us regularly, and indulged in our requests for tours all across King and Snohomish counties. We will definitely be relying on him for our future home selling and buying adventures!

Zach managed the sale of our investment property and we could not be happier with the results. Prior to listing, Zach provided well-advised and nuanced advice for how to best prepare the home to be sold. The pricing strategy Zach recommended was perfectly tailored toward attracting a wide pool of potential buyers. The marketing content created for our listing–specifically the photography and videography–was top-notch, successfully creating a flurry of interest in the property. Zach and his team prioritized consistent and reliable communication, ensuring we felt supported throughout the entire

As first-time home buyers, we were overwhelmed by all there is to learn about the process and how to be competitive in such a crazy market. Zach has a series of educational videos that break everything down in very simple terms, and allow you to learn at your own pace. As a result, we felt very informed and empowered when it came time to make an offer, plus he was available and willing to answer any other questions that arose. Zach and his assistant Rachel clearly have their systems down and are very organized and attentive. We felt comfortable and taken care of every step of the way. We were referred

Working with Zach was great.
We needed to both sell and buy a house and before we ever committed to doing this, Zach consulted with us on our options and the different challenges we would face given the market at the time in early January 2020 (current market inventory, how buyers will view contingency at different times of the year, how he manages the full experience). This conversation gave us confidence that the time of the year was most advantageous given we would be on contingency. When we did decide move forward, Zach was immediately communicative and helped us to get connected across the
