Before you carve the turkey, carve out time for your house.

Here’s your monthly checklist to help you feel productive before the holiday fun!

October is here — which means cozy weekends, flickering candles, and something warm baking in the oven.

There’s a reason Fremont proudly calls itself “The Center of the Universe.”

Just north of Lake Union and minutes from downtown Seattle, Fremont is where creativity meets community — a place where art, food, and character fill every block. It’s quirky in the best way possible: home to bold public sculptures, waterfront trails, indie shops, and a tight-knit local vibe that makes it one of Seattle’s most beloved neighborhoods.

At some point, every homeowner asks the same question: “Is it time to move up?”

Your home should reflect the season of life you’re in — not the one you’ve already outgrown. Maybe your family’s growing, your work situation has changed, or you simply feel ready for a fresh space that better fits who you’ve become. Whatever your reason, these are three signs it might be time to start exploring your next home.

Every fall, we hear the same question from homeowners across Seattle and Edmonds:

“It’s already October—should I just wait until spring to sell?”

The assumption makes sense. Many sellers believe the home-selling process takes months or that fall and winter are “slow seasons” for real estate. But here’s the truth: if you list your home in October, you can absolutely be moved into your next home by December.

Think of this as the in-between season checklist of the smart moves you can make now while the weather’s still on your side.

If you’ve been watching the Seattle housing market and wondering whether now is the right time to buy—you’re not alone. With interest rates fluctuating, more homes hitting the market, and buyer fatigue still lingering from the past few years, we’re getting this question a lot lately. So, let’s break it down:
What’s really happening in Seattle real estate this August—and is it a smart time to make your move?

Kitchens get the glory. Bathrooms get the budgets. But when it comes to what really moves buyers, we’ve found that it’s often the unexpected rooms that leave the biggest impression.

It’s about more than one transaction. It’s about helping people make smart, well-timed decisions that protect their financial future. Sometimes that means sitting still and waiting for a better market.

In the long run, real estate is built on trust, not on forcing deals. The right recommendation—even when it costs a commission—creates relationships that last well beyond a single sale. And those relationships are what sustain a long-term business.

Summer is the perfect time to refresh your home.

Every month, I give you a checklist to make staying on top of things feel a little less overwhelming. Here’s what to keep in mind this July.

Hit save, forward to your favorite homeowner, and check off a few when you’re feeling productive.

In the world of home design, some spaces get all the glory. The chef’s kitchen, the spa-like bathroom, the sun-drenched breakfast nook. But ask any Pacific Northwest homeowner what space quietly pulls its weight day after rainy day, and you might hear a surprising answer: the mudroom.
