Exciting news for Washington homeowners! Thanks to a recent state law change, the property tax break program for older homeowners and people with disabilities now includes those with higher incomes. In King County, for example, the income limit increased by 44%, allowing homeowners making up to $84,000 to qualify. I’m always happy to share news about ways homeowners can save money, especially nowadays! If you or someone you know could benefit from this, feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.

My clients are just one of the reasons I am so passionate about what I do!
“Chris did an outstanding job with the sale of my home. His knowledge and expertise are top-notch! If there were 10 stars, I would give him a 10-star rating.”

Living in Seattle means having access to some of the most unique dining experiences, like those offered by Renee Erickson’s Sea Creatures restaurant group.

If you’re looking for a popular spot, Lioness is a lively Italian bar that’s quickly become a local favorite since opening in January. The cozy, candle-lit ambiance and standout dishes like oysters, smoked cod mousse, and irresistible meatballs make it a must-visit.

Lioness operates with the confidence of an established venue, thanks to the expertise of Erickson and her partners, who have been creating beloved Seattle dining spots, like Walrus and the Carpenter, for over a decade. Dining at either of these places offers an experience you won't want to miss.

While we often discuss the financial benefits of home ownership (and there are many!), I recently came across this article about the emotional benefits of owning a home that really resonated with me, and wanted to share it with you too.

Owning your home can provide more stability and a stronger sense of community, making you feel more rooted in the neighborhood you live in. It can also give you the chance to really make a space your own — without the restrictions often imposed upon renters, you can really customize your place to work for you and your loved ones! And what could be more satisfying than that?

To read the full article and learn more about the benefits of owning vs. renting, visit https://bit.ly/3Wa8Oa2.

When you are ready to buy or sell, I'd love to be of service. Reach out to me anytime!

While I always love showing off a fantastic property, one of the highlights of appearing in this latest episode of The American Dream for me was getting to visit JM Cellars in Woodinville.

The opportunity to show off a community a bit outside of Seattle — but still close enough for a day trip! — and to share a little about the incredible local wine scene we have here in Washington was so much fun. It’s exciting to be able to share what makes our state and the greater Seattle area such a unique and fantastic place to call home!

If you’re considering a move to the Seattle or Puget Sound area, but not sure exactly where to start your search, reach out to me! I’d love to help you find the community and the home that’s just right for you.

If you’re a buyer looking for a new home in a desirable, central Seattle neighborhood, I’ve got great news for you.

I can now share a price improvement for this incredible home in coveted Madison Valley! Now listed at just $1,280,000, the price of this beautiful home has dropped over 5% recently, making this classic Craftsman home in one of Seattle’s most beloved neighborhoods even more attainable. If you think this spacious and serene retreat might be the perfect next home for you, please contact me or click here https://bit.ly/3XQBbLJ to learn more.

I love a lot of spots in Seattle, but for food, one of my favorite recommendations is an area a lot of people don’t expect — Queen Anne! Though it might seem quieter compared to some of Seattle’s other neighborhoods, this area of the city has some truly fantastic restaurants.

A great one that I recently had the opportunity to check out while filming my most recent episode of The American Dream is How to Cook a Wolf. This Italian-inspired spot focuses on letting simple, local ingredients shine. The cocktails and small plates are outstanding, but you can’t visit without ordering at least one of their handmade pastas.

Capitol Hill is one of Seattle’s liveliest neighborhoods — which is why it’s such a popular place to go out! Centered around a beautiful community green space called Cal Anderson Park, with a fountain, a children’s play area, sports field, and even oversize chess boards, this park offers so much for residents and visitors to enjoy during daylight hours. This district is just as bustling after dark though! Some of the city’s buzziest bars and restaurants are located here, including Chophouse Row — a gathering place with an impressive variety of shops, bars and eateries right in the heart of it all.

Capitol Hill’s perch high up above most of the rest of Seattle means a lot of homes here have fantastic views, too, and there are many lovely old buildings showcasing a variety of architectural styles. There’s so much to love about Capitol Hill! What are some of your favorite things to do in this neighborhood?

I’m always happy when I can connect a wonderful client or friend with a great RSIR agent in another city. And I was able to do just that recently when a client reached out to me to share that their daughter was looking to sell her home in Malibu, CA.

Though I serve the Seattle area, the incredible thing about being part of the Sotheby’s International Realty family is that I get the chance to get to know the best brokers all over the country! When this client reached out about their daughter’s real estate needs, I knew exactly who to put her in touch with — the incomparable Shen Schulz! I really value my connections in California — the Golden State and Seattle are both havens for tech workers, and we see a lot of moves between our two locations. And when Shen was able to help her find the perfect buyers for her home, I could not have been happier.

The power of the Sotheby’s network and our connections with brokers across the country and around the globe means that no matter where you want to buy or sell a home, you’ve got the entire Sotheby’s family of real estate experts behind you.

Seeking breathtaking views? Look no further! This private corner unit boasts an array of desirable features, including spectacular views of the city skyline.

Recently painted with newer carpets and flooring throughout, this home offers a refreshed, light and airy atmosphere. The well-designed floor plan includes a primary suite with an en suite 3/4 bath. The guest bedroom doubles as an ideal work-from-home office space (and also offering those mesmerizing views, of course). Plus, this cozy condo has other added conveniences too, such as a storage unit, exercise room and project room.

Sitting in an ideal location in lively Capitol Hill, this home is close to restaurants, coffeeshops, bars and every in-city convenience.
