Snohomish is Getting a Tiny House Hotel

Nicole Serviss, RE/MAX Elite

The proposed project is for nine individual β€œtiny house” structures in Downtown Snohomish on the corner of Pearl and Willow. Of the 9 tiny structures, one will serve as a full-time office. Site improvements include utilities, landscaping, and parking for nine vehicles, in addition to frontage improvements on Pearl Street and Willow Avenue.

No news as to when the project will be complete, but this will be a fun addition to our little town. Currently, the only option for guests to stay is the Snohomish Inn or private VRBO and Air BnB. Looking forward to having more options!

How to Avoid Wire Fraud in a Real Estate Transaction

Wire fraud is a very real risk. Scammers have gotten very good and duplicating emails that look like they’re coming from your Realtor, Lender, or Escrow Officer.

How to Avoid Wire Fraud in a Real Estate Transaction

Nicole Serviss, RE/MAX Elite

Wire fraud is a very real risk. Scammers have gotten very good and duplicating emails that look like they’re coming from your Realtor, Lender, or Escrow Officer. See below for an example of this:

unnamed.png

These scammers were clever. They used an email address almost identical to the broker's email address and they established a sense of urgency, capitalizing on the buyer's fear of economic turmoil due to the Coronavirus. Recently, a couple in San Diego lost almost $800,000 to a wire fraud scam. See article here.

The most common times a scammer will try to get your money is when you need to submit your earnest money payment or when you are paying your closing costs/downpayment on your new home.

Whether you’re in a real estate transaction or not, if you receive an email asking you to wire money, stop and call that person from the phone number you have for them or a number you find online. Verify that is was indeed them and not a scammer.

Stay safe out there and feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

5 Myths About Buying a House

1. You need a 20% down payment. False. While it's best practice to put 20% down, you can find loans that offer great terms as low as 0% down…

5 Myths About Buying a House

Nicole Serviss, RE/MAX Elite

The 5 most common myths, busted!

1. You need a 20% down payment.

False. While it's best practice to put 20% down to avoid paying mortgage insurance, you can find loans that offer great terms as low as 0% down.

2. You need to pay your Realtor.

False. The seller pays for the real estate commission.

3. Your credit score needs to be perfect.

False. You only need a 620+ to qualify. Different loans and programs have different requirements, but if you’re close to that score, it’s worth it to talk to a lender and find out if you can be approved for a mortgage.

4. You should wait to apply for a loan until you've found your dream house.

False. You’ll want to get pre-approved (and that’s different than pre-qualified) before you start the home shopping process. Why? Because when you submit an offer on a house, you include your pre-approval letter with your offer to prove to the sellers that you can afford this house. You don’t want to miss out on your dream home while you’re waiting for your lender to approve you.

5. My 100% Perfect house exists.

False. Even people that custom build their home always have something they'd change about it. When you walk through a house, rate it from 1 to 10. 10 being your dream house. If you rate it around an 8.5-9.5, that's a house you consider writing an offer on. Ask yourself what this house needs to be a 10. Then make sure those are things you're willing to compromise on. If not, are they things you can afford to fix.

I hope you found this information helpful. If you did, or if you have any questions, please let me know.

How to Price Your Home: Retail vs. Wholesale

Nicole Serviss, RE/MAX Elite

When you're considering selling your house you can price it two ways, at wholesale price or retail price. When you sell a car, you fix it up, you clean it, have it detailed, fix that broken tail light. Why? So you can get top dollar for your car. The same holds true for houses. If you want to get top dollar, AKA retail price, for your house, you need to put in a little work first. Watch to find out how.

My friend bought extra tickets to the Novelty Hill Farms Annual Tree and Barn Lighting so we decided to make the trek to Duvall in the name of holiday spirit. The place had a great small farm vibe with the rustic white barn, fire pit, and tractor.

My friend bought extra tickets to the Novelty Hill Farms Annual Tree and Barn Lighting so we decided to make the trek to Duvall in the name of holiday spirit. The place had a great small farm vibe with the rustic white barn, fire pit, and tractor.

Here are some of my favorite highlights from my night:

  • S’mores by the fire

  • Christmas Carols inside the hayloft of the barn

  • FREE pictures with Santa

  • Great group of vendors selling their crafts

  • Chavoya’s Hot Dogs available for sale

  • Delicious hot apple cider

  • Beautiful and healthy Christmas trees

Would I go back again? Absolutely.

Tip:

Wear boots; the parking lot was pretty muddy, but the area where the trees were was fine.

Why Vote Yes? Building for Our Students’ Future Capital Bond - February 11, 2020

The Snohomish schools are over 40 years old and, while our teachers do the best they can to provide an excellent education to our students with the facilities available to them, the buildings are dated and need replacing.

76688871_3525272857498009_2520147128366399488_o.jpg

Election day is February 11th, 2020

Passing the $470 million school bond is integral to the future success of our town.

The Snohomish schools are over 40 years old and, while our teachers do the best they can to provide an excellent education to our students with the facilities available to them, the buildings are dated and need replacing.

This bond will build six new elementary schools as well as create additional classroom space at GPHS, renovate the AIM campus, and create a larger space for the Early Learning Center.

When communities stop showing support for their schools, property values decrease and students’ educational and career prospects decrease. We don’t want that here in Snohomish.

With schools improved, students, and subsequently our community, will benefit from higher quality education and a safer learning environment. These kids grow up to be tomorrow’s local business owners and community leaders.

I have four kids in Snohomish schools, and would be beyond grateful for our community’s support in providing all students, present and future, a high-quality education. For the cost of a few cups of coffee a month, you can be a part of making Snohomish an even better place to live. Vote Yes! for Snohomish Students by February 11th, 2020.

1.png

The February 2020 bond will focus on:

Providing access and opportunity for each student

Funds from the bond will be used to replace our oldest elementary schools, so all students have the same access to an optimal learning environment no matter which school they attend.

Replaces six of our oldest elementary schools: Cascade View Elementary, Cathcart Elementary, Dutch Hill Elementary, Seattle Hill Elementary and Totem Falls Elementary. Central Primary Center and Emerson Elementary would be combined into one new K-6 facility on the Emerson site. Click here for a proposed timeline and projected project costs of the priority projects.

Add classrooms to Glacier Peak High School to minimize the reliance on portable classrooms.

Create an early learning center at the current Central Primary Center facility.

Improvements to the Parkway Campus, home to our alternative learning programs, such as AIM High School and Parent Partnership Program.

Improvements to the district’s maintenance and transportation facilities.

Enhancing school safety and security for students and schools

Funding is needed for security improvements to better ensure our children learn in a safe environment. The bond would provide upgrades to safety and security at schools throughout our district.

Safety and security upgrades are, but not limited to, exterior digital access control, internal access control, new district wide radio system, redesigned vestibules in secondary schools, new and upgrade existing camera systems, and emergency responder antennas at secondary schools.

Continuing community pride

This bond will ensure our schools continue to be a source of pride in our community. We know that the success of our students and quality schools are a reflection of our community and a source of pride.

What is the cost for the capital bond?

If approved by voters on February 11, 2020, the tax rate for the Snohomish School District's $470 million capital bond would be $0.98 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. In the Snohomish School District, the average assessed home value is $460,000. For a home assessed at $460,000, the cost would be about $450/year or $38/month. All funding approved by Snohomish voters stays local and is used to support education in the Snohomish School District.

How will this affect your property value?

October is here and it’s time for pumpkin EVERYTHING. Pie, spice, lattes… But my favorite pumpkin of all? The porch pumpkin.

Pumpkin Patches - U-pick, Hayrides, Corn Mazes, and More!


October is here and it’s time for pumpkin EVERYTHING. Pie, spice, lattes… But my favorite pumpkin of all? The porch pumpkin. I try to go to a new pumpkin patch when I can, but it's hard not to have a few favorites. Each farm has a unique appeal. Some are more low key. Some have lots of activities. Some have a huge variety of pumpkins. Whatever your preference, there’s a pumpkin patch for you.

First of all, they have an entire date dedicated to our Fall loving doggies. Pooches in the Patch. October 27th, 2019 from 9:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. This is where you can bring your dog with you to the pumpkin patch! How fun is that?

They have so many activities like apple cannons, a hayride to Minionville (I’ve personally done this and it’s a blast), apple slingers, face painting, 15-acre corn maze (I might have gotten lost in this one), kids adventure maze, farm animals, mini gold, photo ops, human foosball, rubber duck races, I-spy mini barn, make your own scarecrow, harvest market, gift shop, play yard, picnic tables, and more!

How To Get Your Home Ready To Sell in 30 Days: A Day-by-Day Guide

You only have one chance at a first impression, so it’s important to put most of the work in early so your house is at its best. This guide will help you get ready from day one, to listing day!

How To Get Your Home Ready To Sell in 30 Days

A Day-by-Day Guide

 

So, you’re ready to sell your home. Did you get a promotion? Have a new baby? Need to downsize? There are a million reasons why you’d need to sell. Whatever the reason, you need to get your home ready for the market.

You only have one chance at a first impression, so it’s important to put most of the work in early so your house is at its best. This guide will help you get ready from day one, to listing day! Without further adieu, let’s get started:

Day 1: Call Three Real Estate agents to schedule interviews

Every agent works in different ways. Make sure you take the time to interview several for the job. You’ll want to ask lots of questions and decide who will work the best for and with you. It’ll be a team effort to get your home ready to sell. Will that agent work hard too?


Day 2: Start Packing/Rent a Storage Unit

Decide if you are going to continue living in the home while it’s on the market. If you will, consider renting a storage unit to start the moving process sooner rather than later. This will help get some of your personal belongings out of your home.

Start thinking of the home as not yours anymore and start seeing it through a buyer’s eyes. They don’t want to walk through a potential home to buy and see someone else’s family photos.


Day 3: Contact A Lender or Two

Where are you moving? What if your home sold right away? Would you have somewhere to go? Once you’ve interviewed a few agents to sell your home, you should have an idea of how much money you’re going to walk away with from the home sale.

You may need to finance part of your next home purchase. Until then, time to apply with a trusted lender to find out how much you can afford on your next home. Need recommendations? Email me and I’ll connect you with a list of lenders I work with.


Day 4: Pack up your Kitchen

Clear off your counters, empty your drawers of the non-essentials. Put the boxes in the garage or your storage unit. You want this space to be very bare.


Day 5: Start House Hunting

Time to start looking online for a new home. Gather up a list to give to your agents when you interview them.


Day 6: Pack up your Entry Room

Put away the extra shoes and pack away all those coats in the entry closet. If you find that you never wear them anyways, consider donating to a local charity or thrift store.


Day 7: Decide on your Realtor

By now you’ve probably met with and interviewed a few agents. Time to decide who you want to work with. Call them and tell them the good news. Schedule a time for them to come over and help you prepare. They should give you a to-do list specific to your home. They want your home to sell for top-dollar just like you do!

If you’re buying your next home out of the area, still communicate with your Realtor. They can connect you with an excellent agent to help you find your next home.


Day 8: Front Porch Clean up

Does your front door need a fresh coat of paint? How’s the front garden looking? Do you have a pretty wreath you can hang on the door? You want potential buyers to walk up to your house and be wowed before they even walk in.

If gardening is not your strength, consider hiring a landscaping crew to freshen up the yard. Driveway looking dingy? Consider pressure washing or hiring a handyman to do it!


Day 9: Connect your Lender and your Agent

They need to communicate with each other to help you get the most out of this home to help you get the most out of the next one. Your agent will tell your lender how much they expect to receive out of your net proceeds so you can figure out how much you want to borrow from the bank.


Day 10: Go To Some Open Houses

If this doesn’t fall on a Saturday or Sunday, at least add β€œOpen House Hunting” to your calendar. This isn’t for you to find a home, it’s for you too look at your competition. You want to see what those potential buyers will compare your home to. Use this to help motivate you to get to work on your house and get it looking its best.


Day 11: Pack up Your Dining Room

Take out that hutch with all the dishes and make your dining room simple. Table, chairs, and a nice centerpiece on the table. That’s it! Pack everything else away. You can keep art hung on the wall, but take down those family photos.


Day 12: Pack up Your Living Room, Part 1

This will be a big chore! Talk with your agent about what furniture they want and don’t want to keep in there, but the less the better. Pack away any personal belongings and arrange your furniture to create a good flow in the room. Not sure how to do that? Ask your agent!


Day 13: Pack up Your Living Room, Part 2

Keep going! Couch looking bare? Make sure you leave a few cute decorative pillows on them, or head to the store and pick some up. TJ Maxx, Marshalls or Ross have great prices.

Remember, anything screwed into the walls is considered part of real estate

so if you are in love with your curtain rods, or that cute shelf, take it down and pack it away!


Day 14: Schedule Some Work To Be Done/Rest Day

Do you have a dog? Are the carpet’s looking old? Time to schedule a carpet cleaning.

Roof looking mossy? Gutters gross? Time to make some calls. Today is a β€œbreak” from more physical labor and time to make sure some of those bigger projects get done.

You should make a trip to Lowes or Home Depot to gather supplies for the next few days of patching and painting. Pick up a bunch of light bulbs too!


Day 15: Take Down All Personal and Family Photos

Remember, you want potential buyers to see themselves living there, not you. Pull out all those nails and fill the holes.


Day 16: Touch Up Paint on Walls and Baseboards

Time to touch up paint any dings, scratches, patches, holes, etc you’ve made in the walls. Grab a brush, some rags, and some white paint and make those baseboards shine. Pay close attention to those corners that stick out. They often get the most dings in them.


Day 17: Clean Bathrooms

Clear off those counters, empty the drawers of the non-essentials, scrub that toilet, and replace any bulbs that are out. Consider buying a new white shower curtain to brighten up the space.


Day 18: Backyard clean up

Does your deck need pressure washing or any repair work done? Time to add mulch to the gardens, mow the lawn, plant some flowers, clean up any trash or broken items.


Day 19: Dump Run Day

By now you’ve probably gotten a large pile of trash accumulated. Hop in your truck and take a load or two to the dump. Don’t own a truck? Hire a handyman to do it for you. I’ve got recommendations if you don’t know anyone.


Day 20: Clean Master Bedroom

This room is important. Potential buyers will want to see this room really looking its best. Clear off the nightstands and leave only a lamp, empty out under your bed, clear off your dresser, and clear off the counters of your bathroom.


Day 21: Closet Clean Out

When a closet is filled to the max, it tells potential buyers that there is NOT enough storage in this house. Empty out those shelves and sort through any out of season clothes. Do this in every closet in the house.


Day 22: Clean Guest Rooms/Kid Rooms

If you have the ability to empty these rooms of everything but a bed and a night stand, do it. Again, you can keep art on the wall, but remove all personal items.


Day 23: Clean The Windows

I reserve a whole day for this because it’s more involved than you might think. When I say, clean the windows, I really mean CLEAN those windows. You’ll want to clean the inside and outside of the windows if you can, or hire a company to do this. They usually book way in advance, so if you know you can’t do this yourself, call on Day 1.

You’ll also want to clean the window tracks. My trick: an old toothbrush! If it can get gunk out of your teeth, it can get gunk out of the tracks. Grab a cup of soapy water and start scrubbing.


Day 24: Dust the House and Clean The Floors

And yes, do it in that order. Dust all the fan blades, window sills, baseboards, etc. Wipe down all the walls with a wet rag.

You’ve already had the carpets cleaned (Day 14) or at least scheduled for it to be done, but it’s time to vacuum the house and use all those attachments they come with. If you have hard floors, make sure you mop and take the time to really get up any icky parts.


Day 25: Clean Garage - Sign Paperwork

Use this day to finalize and paperwork you haven’t finished filling out and to clean up the garage as best you can. This isn’t a huge deal if it doesn’t get done, but at least make sure there’s enough space to access the furnace, attic access, hot water heater, and electrical panel.


Day 26: Last Trip to The Dump & Storage Unit

Last chance to throw away and pack away any extra belongings.


Day 27: Mow The Grass - Buy Potted Plants For Porch

Now we’re in the last few days and the house should be looking amazing. You’ve done a ton of work so far! Time to do that final face lift in the yard and mow and edge the grass.

Take a trip to the store to grab 2 pre-made potted plants to go on each side of your front door on your porch.

Double check all your light bulbs are working. If not, replace bulbs that are out.


Day 28: Last Day For The Small Details - Staging - Pricing

Deep clean bathrooms again, scrub the kitchen, and do a quick vacuum the house. Today your Realtor should come by to help you do some final staging and you two will discuss your final pricing for your listing. This might be a good night to go out to dinner so you don’t mess up your beautifully clean kitchen!

*Make an extra copy of your house keys for your Realtor.


Day 29: Photographer Takes Pictures of Your Home - Talk Expectations

This is the big day! Most of the hard work is now done. To get your house ready for photos:

  • Open all the blinds: coil and rest the cords on the sill

  • Open all curtains as wide as they go

  • Close all the windows

  • Turn on all the lights

  • Open all the doors except closets

  • Hide your trashcans

Talk with your agent about how you want showings to go once the home is listed and when they plan to schedule open houses.


Day 30: Listing Day!

You did it! The house looks beautiful and all those potential buyers will see the care you put into it. This will tell them that you are the type of person to take excellent care of things and it will help them have the confidence they need to make an offer.

Should I Pay For a Home Inspection?

One of the biggest fears when purchasing a home, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on something, is that there might be something wrong with it.

Home Inspections and Why It’s Worth The Money


One of the biggest fears when purchasing a home is that there might be something wrong with it.

The bad news is, there’s always at least one thing wrong with every house. The good news is, that everything is fixable. It’s so important to know what’s wrong with the home you want to buy so you can make an informed decision how you want to continue.

What is a home inspection?

When you purchase a home, you have the option to include a home inspection as part of your contract. A professional inspector comes to the home with you and your agent, and inspects all major components of the home you’re trying to buy.

What does it cost?

It depends on the size and age of the home, but plan on it costing you around $300-500.

What do they inspect?

They inspect the site, grounds, exterior, roof, structure, garage, interior, plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning, insulation and ventilation, fireplace and stove, and built-in kitchen appliances.

What this tells you?

You’ll get a very large report after the inspection with photos and descriptions of issues in the home. Every house has things wrong with it, so don’t be alarmed.

When you read your report, you’ll decide what items, if any, you want to ask the seller to fix for you. This opens up negotiations again.

What are your options?

  1. You can decide not to buy the house anymore and get your earnest money back.

  2. You ask the seller to fix a list of items.

  3. You don’t ask for anything to be fixed and the β€œcontingency is satisfied.”

What happens next?

The seller has a few responses they can choose from when you ask them to fix things on the house.

  1. They can say, β€œYes!”

  2. They can say, β€œNo,” and the contract ends and you get your earnest money back.

  3. They can say, β€œNo, but how about we do this instead?” You can then decide if you like this new plan or not.


Why It’s Important

Most home inspectors focus on the major defects that will cost the buyer a lot of money above the purchase price to repair. Cosmetic items are rarely reported. By bringing these major defects to the buyers attention, the buyer can choose to negotiate with the seller with the intent on getting the major components repaired or a reduction in the selling price. 

If the seller can not afford to have the repairs corrected, you can still choose to buy the house with the full knowledge of what repairs are needed and the cost of the repairs will be your responsibility. Or, you may decide the cost of repairs is too much, then you can walk away from the deal and still get your earnest money back provided your contract has a "sale contingent on inspection" clause.
