Own a Piece of History: Greenville’s Most Stunning French Château is Back on the Market!

Washington State Legislative Update: SHB 1081 Washington lawmakers have adopted SHB 1081, a bill that adds new consumer protections for property owners involved in solicited real estate purchase contracts. Key points property owners and investors should understand: • Property owners now have the right to obtain an independent appraisal when a purchase contract results from direct solicitation (mail, online ads, texts, calls, or in-person outreach). • After receiving the appraisal, sellers may cancel the contract within a defined window without penalty. • Contracts must clearly disclose these rights, and violations may fall under the Consumer Protection Act. • These protections do not apply when either party is represented by a licensed real estate broker. This legislation directly impacts off-market and direct-to-seller transactions and reinforces the importance of transparency, valuation accuracy, and proper representation. For property owners and investors, this is a reminder that policy and contract structure matter, especially as regulations continue to evolve.

🏡 Real Estate Isn’t Just About Homes — It’s About Life Changes We recently helped sellers navigate a complex situation. They had fully remodeled their home, but due to unexpected job shifts, they couldn’t move back. Selling remotely, with pressure on timing and logistics, they were truly stuck between a rock and a hard place. To add a twist — a panel-covered fridge became a last-minute dispute at closing. It looked built-in, but wasn’t listed in the contract. Buyer thought it stayed. Seller thought it didn’t. ✅ We resolved it with clear communication and strategy. ✅ Got the home sold. ✅ Helped our sellers move forward, from miles away. Real estate is personal, and when life gets complicated, I’m here to make sure the sale doesn’t. #DFWRealEstate #RealEstateWithHeart #SellerSupport #RemoteSellers #GulchHomes #RealEstateTips

This closing started with a referral from a past client, which I’m always grateful for. The original plan was to buy an investment property in Washington. After running the numbers, we realized that the same cash could go significantly further in DFW, especially with new construction and builder warranties. We pivoted to North Texas, secured a new construction home, and lined up a strong property management company that will handle everything hands-off for the investor. This is a great example of letting the numbers guide the decision, not just location. Appreciate the trust throughout the process.

Grateful moments like this are why I love what I do. Huge thank you to Hugo for trusting us with a referral — that trust truly means a lot. My sister Real Talk With Z and I had the opportunity to work together as a brother-sister team to help these buyers become homeowners using down payment assistance, allowing them to purchase with very minimal out-of-pocket costs. This one took extra coordination behind the scenes, but seeing our clients get the keys made it all worth it. Grateful for collaboration, teamwork, and helping families take big steps forward. 🏡🤍

Grateful to help this client close on his first property in the U.S. 🎉 He moved here just two years ago, is a first-time buyer, and just purchased land in Pasco, WA, with plans to build a home. This wasn’t just about buying a lot. Together with my partner and sister, Real Talk With Z, we worked closely with the City of Pasco and utilities to confirm zoning, easements, and overall buildability so the property matched his plans. A smooth closing, a confident buyer, and an exciting next chapter ahead. Happy buyer and a smart long-term investor.

One of the most rewarding parts of what I do is helping people who others overlook. This client reached out because he felt like he wasn’t being taken seriously as a young, first-time investor. A lot of people saw inexperience — I saw someone willing to learn. We started with a consultation and strategy call. Since we hadn’t worked together before, I was cautious. But once he got approved, stayed coachable, and trusted the process, we moved forward. The result? ✅ A deal that cash flows $500+ per month net ✅ Purchased remotely from Colorado ✅ Never saw the property in person ✅ Connected to a solid GC and property management team ✅ Fully set up to rehab, lease, and operate hands-off This is what happens when trust + guidance + execution come together. Grateful for the trust and excited for what I believe is the start of a long-term investing relationship.

It’s amazing how full-circle real estate can be. Back in 2019, when I was still a fairly new agent, I had the chance to help this client for the very first time. Fast forward to today… she reached out again — all because of consistent follow-ups, staying connected, and continuing to bring value over the years. Those little touches matter. And she handled this new purchase like an investor: 🏫 Bought in one of the best school districts — Bellevue School District 📈 Negotiated for the seller to cover all assessments 🏆 Won in a multiple-offer situation 🏡 Purchased this home for her daughter — building multi-generational wealth I’m grateful she trusted me again for such an important season in her family’s life. This is why I love what I do. ❤️ #BellevueRealEstate #MultiGenerationalWealth #SeattleHomes #GulchHomes
