I've worked on many transactions with Grace Van Houten over the years and they have all gone smoothly. She is fantastic at her job and one whom I can count on to be on point when I get a new transaction. So when I heard she moved over to start up Point Escrow, I had all the confidence that my latest home sale would be no different for the sellers, buyer, buyers agent and myself and it wasn't! Not only did my clients and I receive the same level of service I'm accustom to getting from Grace but the systems and technology employed by Point also made the overall experience for my sellers so informative and smooth that they commented to me how great and easy the process was that they…

Real Estate Employment Opportunities

Record low inventory is making it harder for agents to make a living.

Prices are on the way up and homes are selling quickly, but with inventory down over 60% in many areas and continuing to drop more and more agents are competing for fewer and fewer listings.

AND Listings bring sales and once you sell a home on average 70% of those sellers are looking to then BUY a new home That means Listings get you busy!

Right now homes are selling at record pace and many are getting multiple offers
Open Houses are generating 20 to 30 groups coming through on a weekend.


 All of which puts our agents in contact with even more Buyers and Sellers!

So, how do we get more listings than…

KIRKLAND, Wash. (June 4, 2014) – Housing around Western Washington is on an upward trajectory, but inadequate inventory "in the right prices and locations" makes for a "very difficult market for purchasers and brokers," according to an executive with one multi-office real estate company.
