Nighttime in Shanghai

Nighttime in Shanghai
Light escaping darkness
Glittering brilliance

Seattle’s Skies

Misty clouds drifting
Stretched by fir and cedar boughs
Grasping longingly

Descending Sun

Darkness expanding
Growing from hidden places
Sunlight fades anew

Today’s Online Real Estate Business

Carl Setzer

We agents have been getting blasted with information about the big online sites: Zillow, Trulia and Realtor.com, mainly. It’s really ready to get caught up in the dialog. These sites are charging how people relate to real estate. But they’re but likely to change the relationship with agents. People still value the one-one connection.

The changes seem to be more about information, and it’s accuracy and timeliness. Zillow, et al, are not perfect, and that’s the opportunity for agents. But we have to be in our game, know the current market, what’s influencing it. It’s also good to know what Zillow and such say, do we can be better able to engage and educate.

So, no threats to us agents. Unless we aren’t willing to stay current, keep our knowledge fresh. And, perhaps, if that’s your mindset, failure should not be unexpected. I’m not sweating it, nor is my team.

This is one of my team’s listings in Mukilteo. Not far off of 52nd Ave W/Beverly Park Rd, this is just a little south of the Speedway. Part of a very well maintained community with nicely manicured lawns and friendly neighbors, who you’ll actually see out walking. If you work at the Everett Boeing facility, or the surrounding support community at Paine Field, this is a very livable community with only a few minutes of commute. Biking would be quite easy! If you work in Redmond, say at Microsoft, this is easy jaunt onto Highway 525, feeding you easily on to 405. And if you commute to Seattle, it’s a short drive to the Mukilteo Sounder Station or the Ash Way Park & Ride. With a recent price drop, it’s quite competitively priced for the neighborhood. Take a look while it’s still available.

Clouds delight me so
Tranquility flowing forth
Dew drops glistening
