Diva Hood: Pioneer Square
Pioneer Square is hands down one of my favorite neighborhoods in Seattle. Downtown Seattle’s skyscrapers are a back drop to this brick vintage slightly seedy hood that is bursting with creativity. Many start-ups and non-profits have their offices in Pioneer Square. And more importantly to us Divas it is the home of rock solid artist […]

Occupy My Love: The Divas, Gay Marriage + House Love
Diva Kim and I met in 1997 while we were both activists at the Northwest AIDS Foundation (now Lifelong AIDS Alliance). Over a year later we slowly transitioned from friends to lovers and eventually home owners. At the time our friends and family thought we were crazy for buying a house so early in our […]

Open Houses on Super Bowl Weekend
Super Bowl Sunday is a full on American holiday for all things that are glorious, booze, food and football. Super Bowl Sunday is also dead zone for real estate. Who knows why but let’s just say that on Super Bowl Sunday folks want football. The snow did not stop Team Diva and I doubt a […]
Rising Loan Costs as a Result of the Pay Roll Tax Cut
The last couple of weeks has been really tough trying to explain to folks why their closing costs are increasing. Our Diva Dwellers are the old fashion and like to save for their down payment types. Hence, every penny counts. So, what is going on in this lending market? Well – it looks like the […]

Diva Hood: West Seattle
First time Diva Dwellers often ask us what we think about West Seattle. This is like asking what we think about Brooklyn. It is way more like a borough than a neighborhood. It has crazy cute beach houses, expensive view homes and affordable view homes, modern townhouses and swanky waterfront condos and a level of […]
Diva Dweller Spotlight | Jeff and Tracey
Jeff and Tracey are in the category of down right awesome Diva Dwellers. We were heart broken when they were forced to relocate to San Francisco for a new job opportunity. It was more than losing “just” a client. We were losing a couple of fabulous friends. Our Chez Diva events have not quite been […]
Tax Benefits of Being a Diva Dweller
First time Diva Dwellers come into the process of buying a home without truly realizing the full tax benefits as it applies to their monthly payment. They are looking at what they can afford monthly and still have a little safety net in case something happens. You know, roof opens up and water pours in, […]
Approaching a Short Sale as a Diva Dweller Buyer
