Helping Seniors Transition to Their Next Chapter Including Memory Care! 

We work with a lot of clients and their families in the Renton, Fairwood, Kent, Maple Valley and Auburn areas (also greater King County) who need to sell their homes and transition to their next chapter. Sometimes its downsizing to a smaller single home, a condo, a retirement community or memory care. We have great relationships with highly accredited memory care communities and can recommend the right place for you or your loved one. Our goal with our 55+ Concierge Listing Services is to achieve a stress-free home selling experience for our client and their families. Learn more about this at www.rosierourke.com/nextchapter.

Fall Market Update

By Rosie Rourke, posted Oct 04, 2022

What is happening in the Real Estate Market?

Fall is here and so is another real estate market shift! Check out the video above, it's a round table discussion with our listing and buyers agents about what is going on RIGHT NOW in the market! It's a great time to sell, home prices are still up 8% from last year despite the Summer correction. It's also a great time to buy! Yes, interest rates are higher than they have been in about a decade, but they are still historically low. Date the rate, marry the house, you'll be able to refi in a few years! There are also loan products like a 2-1 buy down where you have a lower interest rate! Contact us to learn more about selling and buying this Fall!
