Tara Smith - Real Estate Broker

Congratulations to all parties involved starting their new chapters! For my sellers, this was their first home and bittersweet! We had quite the journey with this one but we made it!

If you blinked you probably missed this one!
This 1930s farmhouse on 1 acre is under contract!
We had a whirlwind first weekend on the market with nearly 100 people through the home between open house and showings! My Sellers and I are thrilled to be past inspections with the Buyers they selected; who fell in love with the home when they saw it just hours after we went on the market.

Join us Saturday!

✨Real Estate with a Greater PURPOSE ✨

While many of us in the industry give back to community organizations, it means a lot to me that it’s part of Purpose Realty’s philosophy and mission.

This past Friday part of our team attended the Boys and Girls Club annual charity dinner auction as one of the event sponsors. On top of giving back to our community, I also work with some really great people who make attending these types of events extra fun!

If you’ve bought or sold with us, you’ve played a role in supporting the Boys and Girls Club as well as other great local organizations.

Can you believe it's fall!?
A few fall home maintenance reminders to help keep everything in good working order as we approach cooler and wetter weather. Staying on top of small maintenance tasks not only helps prevent more costly repairs down the road, but also helps your home retain its value.

Tomorrow! Saturday 9/28 from 2-4
Come check out this home, or just stop in to chat about the market and home buying process, would love to see you there!

If you're already on my mailing list you may have already seen this in your mailbox this week!

If you're not on my list yet, let's change that! DM me and I'll get one in the mail to you, or hand deliver the next time I see you ☺️

I'm loving this new and improved version from last year, this one not only features Seahawks but UW and WSU as well, along with all the Sunday and Monday night games listed on the back!

We got quite a bit of attention on this home over the weekend, resulting in my sellers accepting a solid offer!

Congratulations to all!

Who has seen a general home staging checklist with the broad term “depersonalize” used on it? 🙋‍♀️

Most would guess this means take down personal photos, but depersonalizing means much more!

Your home may look generic and boring to you, but hey…YOU’RE MOVING! You can personalize all you want in your next home.

Open House Sunday August 18 from 12-2

A little “get to know me” post ☺️

If you’ve worked with me in the real estate realm and commented on stress, difficult people and situations, etc. I may have responded with a broad “it’s ok, I was in social work for 10 years”

Ironically, the one sales related job on this list probably prepared me the least for selling real estate. Because it really is a people business, not a sales job. The transferable skills that I’ve carried with me into real estate have come from over a decade of work with people, problem solving, connecting people to resources, educating, etc.

This 2 bedroom townhome in Lacey is officially SOLD!
Congratulations to my seller as well as the new homeowners!

👇🏼Notice how this doesn’t say “moving furniture into an empty house”?

When you think of home staging you may picture new and fresh furniture being moved into and strategically placed into a vacant home.
Staging can certainly look like this, but it can also look like…

🔧 Making home repairs
🎨 Updating paint colors
🗑️ Decluttering
🖼️ Depersonalizing
🏡 Improving curb appeal
🚚 Moving some furniture out
🧼 Having home professionally cleaned
🛋️ Adding in a few supplementary items

Home staging can occur wether or not the home is occupied or vacant during the listing process. And some form of home staging should be taking place prior to photography and showings!

I love working with sellers to develop a plan that works for their budget, timeline and needs when it comes to staging homes they’re going to be living in while listing.
And I also love to help other agents help their sellers too! Book a consultation or get in contact to learn more about occupied home staging 😊
