Seattle Home Buyer Stories: Rebecca and Iroro

I met Rebecca, Irroro, Jite, and Odette back in 2014 when they were looking for a rental home to make the big move from San Francisco to Seattle. After a few years of renting in Phinney Ridge I got the call that it was time to find their forever home. I was so excited! When we started it was hard to tell that theirs would b...

I couldn’t ask for a bigger honor than helping my friends find an awesome home in which to start their life together. Stefanie first purchased a home in 2014, ...

Seattle Home Buyer Stories: Caitlin and Andrew (and Charlie)

Caitlin and Andrew knew they wouldn’t be buying right away when they first walked into Team Diva HQ, but they wanted to know about the home-buying process. I sat down and gave them an hour-long crash course on what it takes to be home buyers. They took time to prepare and plan, and over a year later came back to enlis...

Home Buyer Stories: Shannon and Leo

It’s not uncommon in the Seattle real estate market for first-time home buyers to try out the home-buying process, then take time off to better prepare. There is so much to learn about home buying, so it isn’t wasted time, even if the need to wait can be discouraging. It is especially tricky if you have just mov...

Seattle Home Buyer Stories: Jackie and Mike

Jackie and Mike have dubbed their 10-acre homestead in Monroe Ponderosa. They were able to work up to owning this property by investing wisely over the years, but the impetus to move out there came from something really scary. Jackie was diagnosed with and breast cancer.

Diva Dweller Profile: Hollie and Dave

We have know Hollie and Dave for over almost 7 years and in that time they have long since stopped being clients and have become friends. We have helped them buy and sell seven homes from Leschi to Queen Anne and from Seattle to Ellensburg. And this last one may just be their “forever” view home in West Seattle....

Size, Condition, Versus Location - Make a Choice

In real estate, it is all about size, condition, or location REGARDLESS of your budget. Home buyers are often in a process of compromising what they want in order to buy a home. It is rare to find a home that fits all three perfectly.

This isn’t cause for despair. Even in a slow market, finding a home that satisfies two out of three (size, condition, location) is a great thing. Savvy home buyers and owners will even find unexpected benefits and solutions to the things that they considered less than perfect. With the right mindset, tenacity, and an experienced real estate pro, you can win in Seattle’s competitive real estate market and fall in love with your own home.

What are your top two - Size, Condition, or Location?

SUPPORT QUEER DADS - Two of my favorite drag performers are under attack by the Alt Right. Diva Dwellers @old_witch_queen and @cookiecouturequeen are Dads to the most adorable four little boys. Today on Father’s Day a Proud Boy/Nazi affiliated group decided to release terrorize this family simply because Cookie is bold enough to do Drag Story Hour at The Library. I did some digging and the people behind this group are part of the group that were the Nazis in Tacoma. They specifically target women of color, lesbians, trans people, and drag queens because they know they are the most vulnerable in the community. Tomorrow we are organizing a group to show support for @cookiecouturequeen at the @desmoineslibrary at 10:30/11. DM me for more details!
Thank you to all of the rad folx that came out to Team Diva’s Pride Happy Hour last night at the @palaceartsseattle (Seattle’s best performance and queer bar). You are what makes Divaland amazing and fabulous! 🏳️‍🌈 Pride Month 🧡💛💚💙💜❤️ . . . #seattlepride #pride #lgbtqseattle
Nestled in the heart of the Pike/Pine corridor is 1111 E Pike, home to our newest condo built by renowned architect Tom Kundig! A puzzle wall allows for you to change how you access the bedroom and kitchen. Stained bamboo floors throughout with space for dining, living and even a workspace. Situated on the back of the building your balcony and windows look out onto the Chophouse Row courtyard and beyond to the city and Mt Rainier. Head up to the rooftop for summer fun in the sun or down and out into Capitol Hill and Seattle beyond. So many amazing restaurants, shops, bars, attractions and more are just steps away! . . . . 📸 by @johngwilbanks 🛋&🏡 by @mrrockyrealtor & @seattlediva #olsonkundig #olsonkundigarchitects #tomkundig #seattlecondo #coldwellbanker #coldwellbankerbain #seattlerealestateagent #seattlerealtors #lgbtrealtor #lgbtrealtors #teamdiva #puzzlewall #rollingwalls #bamboofloors #cityviews #mtrainier #mtrainierview #rooftopdeck #pikepinecorridor #pikepine #capitolhillseattle #capitolhill

Juniper (also known as @kara.sutra) has been in training for the last month and today she is ready to tell her crew that she is transitioning both personally and professionally. Real Estate is a world of first impressions and making people feel comfortable around you. Being Queer and gender non-conforming is ALSO a constant state of first impressions and trying to get people to be comfortable around you in order to be physically safe. Anyone bold enough to take both of these elements on at the same time is a strong and bold individual. DIVALAND - we all need to rally behind Juniper and make sure she launches into this crazy world of real estate with our love and support. We LOVE you! . . #newteammember #lgbtq #trans #seattlelgbt #transgirl #imcomingout #gendernonconforming #realestate #transrealestateagent

Sometimes you find a home that is freaking stunning.
Post signing lunch is the best, especially when it involves @maonowestseattle fried chicken and @rgbsoda. We are beyond excited to welcome the wonderful Ezaki family to #Divaland! They are not only our newest #divadwellers but I have a feeling they will be fun foodie friends as well.
