The story behind the sale

Teamwork, Timing & Tenacity in Lake Forest Park

Some sales remind you why collaboration is at the heart of real estate and this was one of them.

A fellow licensed real estate broker reached out for support in selling their own condo in Lake Forest Park. It’s always an honor when a colleague trusts you to represent them, and we knew from day one that this would be a team effort. Together, we rolled up our sleeves to prepare the condo for market, paying close attention to every detail to ensure it truly shined. From fresh paint to professionally designed lighting, every space was thoughtfully updated to be warm, welcoming, and move-in ready.

Tucked away near Shoreline, Edmonds, and Lake Forest Park, the condo was a peaceful 2-bedroom, 1.75-bath retreat with green space views, a private veranda strung with festoon lighting, and a spacious layout perfect for entertaining or relaxing. With an updated kitchen and baths, in-unit laundry, and a well-managed HOA with no rental cap, it offered both comfort and flexibility.

But even with all of its charm, this sale wasn't without challenges. The condo market has been tricky lately, buyers are cautious, and inventory is sitting longer. We made the strategic decision to price the home fairly and stayed the course. It took patience, persistence, and a shared commitment to the process.

After 42 days on the market, our persistence paid off. The right buyer came along and knew it was the one. They saw not just a condo, but their future home and just like that, we were pending.

This sale was a reminder that collaboration and strategy make all the difference. I'm grateful for the trust and teamwork it took to make it happen and thrilled to see such a special home go to someone who truly fell in love with it.
