One of the biggest real estate challenges people face is not knowing how to transition between selling their current home and buying their new one without becoming temporarily homeless. I’ve helped over 1,000 people buy or sell a home in my 15-year real estate career, and I have three surefire solutions to this problem. First, I can show you off-market properties nobody knows about. Second, I can help you time the closing of your home sale so it transitions perfectly into the closing of your home purchase. Lastly, I can buy your home from you and rent it back to you until you find the right home.
Latham Realty Unlimited is truly a one-stop shop where we can help you achieve your goals, whether it’s buying or selling a home, making repairs, or just getting ready to make a transition into a new place.
Today, I want to share how we helped three past clients achieve their real estate goals.
A lot of people are unable to achieve their goals because they have too much stuff to do around their house. They don’t know how to make it work or they’re afraid of being homeless—how can they sell their current home, transition to a new home, and not become homeless in the meantime, especially in a market that is so deficient in inventory?
My first story is about an awesome lady named Alex. She had a home to sell in Marysville, and she just did not know how she was going to be able to get into her new place. She went and put an offer on a home in a trailer park once we sold her home. The real estate agent on the other side didn’t even want to accept Alex’s offer at all. I was able to buy Alex’s new home in the trailer park for her, and when the home she was selling closed, she was able to reimburse me and buy back her new home at the same price.
Another story I have involves a couple who had a home to sell in Mount Vernon. They bought another home in Sedro-Woolley and were concerned that they would have two mortgage payments. We came in and bought their home from them so that they could transition perfectly into their new home and not have to worry about being out money.

I guarantee you that I can help you achieve your goals when you sell a home with us.

My final story is about a gentleman named Wayne. The rain was bugging him, and he wanted to move to Florida. He didn’t want to put his current home on the market, make any repairs, or worry about strangers coming through his property. I bought his home from him so he could make that transition. We closed in three weeks, and he’s probably in Florida by now.
You’ll see these testimonials from our past clients in our newsfeed. Hopefully, you see that this is real—we are truly a one-stop shop. We can do things that nobody else can do. We have a construction company, an investment company, and the top real estate company in the area.
I guarantee you that I can help you achieve your goals when you sell a home with us. We are able to get you priority access to the best properties before anybody else, even properties that aren’t on the market yet.
Let’s just have a conversation and see how I can help you meet your goals. There’s absolutely no cost or obligation. I just want to provide you with value—all you have to do is reach out to me. I look forward to connecting with you.
I want to give you some stories today of some customers that we’ve been able to help. One great example that comes to mind is this awesome couple in Camano Island. They had a bunch of repairs that needed to be handled, but they didn’t want to be homeless while they looked for their next home.
Here’s how we solved the problem. I was able to come in and purchase the property and rent it back to them until they closed on a new home with a loan from our preferred lender. Then we went ahead and sold the home.

In 2017 alone, my team and I have leveraged great results and made some amazing accomplishments.
Over the course of the year, I’ve personally competed in three Iron Mans. In addition to that, I’ve bought and sold over $5 million worth of real estate and added five homes and one commercial building to my portfolio.
Looking at these accomplishments, I hope you’ll consider how my team and I could be qualified to help you solve your problems with real estate. My team utilizes a concept we call “Real Estate Unlimited.” If you’re looking to buy a home, we can help you do that. We’ll give you priority access to homes before anyone else and also to the properties we buy.

Today I'd like to talk about reasons why you should sell a home, and reasons why now is a great time to buy a home.
If you're wanting to buy a home right now, I would remember that interest rates are very, very low right now. Nobody is too sure about how long the Federal Government will keep these rates low, so the sooner you buy, the better off you will be. If you wait too long, you risk being priced out of the market. You can buy your dream home right now, but in a few months you may have to settle for much less.
Now on the flip-side, if you're looking to sell your home, right now is a fantastic time to do so because inventory is very, very low. You can't exactly name your price right now, but you can sell for top dollar in a matter of days. Buyers will be fighting over your home if it's in good condition and priced right.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you're looking to buy or sell. Now is a fantastic time to do either in this market.
One thing that I want you to know about Washington real estate - whether you're buying or selling - is that we're still seeing historically low levels of inventory.
As a seller, this means that you will be able to sell your home quickly and for top dollar. I'm working with a lot of buyers right now, and they would be extremely happy to see more homes come onto the market.
If you've been thinking about selling your home, then right now might be the time to do so. If you have any questions, or if you want a free home evaluation, don't hesitate to contact us.
Hey guys, today we want to give you an update on what's been going on in the real estate market here in Washington.
As of late, we have been seeing houses sell extremely fast. We put a home on the market just a few weeks ago that sold within the first weekend of it being listed, for $50,000 over the list price.
We put the home on the market on a Thursday, took professional photos, did our "Ultimate Open House" and the price got bid up in a bidding war for $50,000 over list price.
If you've been thinking about selling your home at all in the near future, now is the time to act. Inventory and interest rates are low, making it the perfect market to sell your home for a good price while also purchasing a new home with a fantastic mortgage rate. If you have any questions for us, be sure to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to speaking with you!

Today I just wanted to provide you with some tips in order to win the home that you desire in a multiple offer situation. It's important to act quickly in a market such as ours, and if you work alongside our team, you have a 95% chance at getting that home, because we win offers in 95% of our multiple offer situations. However, I have 5 important tips for you in these situations.
If you find a home that you really like, jump on it immediately. Homes are selling really quickly, so there is no time to be indecisive. We have low inventory in Washington state right now, so homes are flying off the market.
If it is a good deal, make sure you offer asking price or above. Don't low-ball people offering good deals, this will get your offer thrown out immediately.
Have your Realtor negotiate with their agent so that you can deliver exactly what the sellers want. You want to please the sellers, and by communicating with their Realtor you can meet their expectations and even exceed them if necessary.
Write a letter to the seller expressing how much you like the home and what your plans are with it. Sellers are always more comfortable knowing your plans with the home, and they'll be more likely to sell to you when they see that you're going to enjoy it and maintain it. Putting some emotion into the letter often makes sellers act.
Interview my team if you're looking to buy. We're all highly trained professionals, and we win 95% of the time when multiple offers are on the table.
If you don't have a buyer's agent, we would love to provide you with some assistance in this competitive market here in Washington.
