1. To help people prosper through real estate. And… 2. To always look for better ideas. Creating cash, increasing your passive income, increasing your security, safety and sense of aesthetics. However you define “prosper” - that becomes my job - helping you create it. Committed to constantly looking for better ways to help my clients prosper through real estate. Many people think to sell a home you place an ad in the paper and wait for a person to call and buy the house.  Not so! If that were true, real estate professionals would be out of work.
The basic law of real estate is this: Ads Don’t Sell homes… People Do! We are trying to educate Sellers and the public about the tremendous changes in real estate marketing. A recent study Bellingham Real Estate Board uncovered some very interesting statistics about where buyers come from. 46% - Purchased because their Realtor showed them the property and/or made them aware of the property. 21% - Purchased because they saw a sign on the lawn and approved of the properties exterior and location. 15% - Saw the property advertised on the internet. 7% - Saw the property they bought advertised in the newspaper. 1% - Bought the property they saw at an Open House. 3% - Bought for a combination of the above reasons. About Price The best way to ensure a quick sale is to price your home COMPETITIVELY. Buyers purchase homes by comparison and will usually make an offer on a fairly priced property BEFORE making a low offer on an overpriced listing. Price and possible terms are important buyer motivators. Ultimate Marketing Exposure Nancy Braam and her staff follow a detailed aggressive marketing plan.

First Time Buyers >A Great Opportunity
Home ownership may seem like "the impossible dream" to first-time buyers who have to stretch in order to purchase their first home. Many younger buyers can afford the monthly mortgage payments, but may have to get creative to cover the down payment and closing costs.
Contact a real estate professional if you are thinking about buying your first home. For those whose funds are limited, there may be possibilities you have not considered, such as local or federal loan programs that can help get you moved into your new home. There are many flexible new mortgage loans available to first-time buyers. Sellers are sometimes willing to extend a small loan to help cover closing costs in order to complete the sale.
You can also consider the many housing options available. There are beautiful condominiums and townhouses with desirable amenities and prices that are designed to appeal to first-time buyers who cannot yet afford a single-family detached home.
