I have a few thoughts to share with everyone in this review regarding Rick Franz. 21 years ago we bought our home from Rick. We are happily living in the same home. In 2017, Rick helped me sell a property that I had in Ballard with ease. Rick is currently getting ready to list another home for me that I am selling. Rick can tackle any task, big or small and is always available for you. He does not miss a trick. Completely on top of his game. Working with Rick is always a seamless, easy endeavor. In addition to being a brilliant Real Estate Agent, Rick is a sweet, genuine, compassionate and thoughtful person. His heart is full of love and kindness. Did I mention his big personality? Rick is just the whole deal. As I move on through the year's, maybe buying, maybe selling, Rick will always be my immediate "Go to Man". Rating him 10 stars out of 5!!!

Rick quite simply represents the best there is in the real estate business. He is honest, knowledgeable, responsive and , best of all, understanding. He looks at a property from his clients’ perspective not his own - a rare but important quality.

Rick is the kindest and most helpful real estate agent we've ever dealt with. He was selling my mom's house, when my husband and I found house we wanted to make an offer on. We weren't working with a realtor, so Rick stepped in and got our offer in in under 24 hours. We found out there was already another offer on the property, and Rick helped make sure we got the house. Since our existing house wasn't even on the market, we needed some special help with financing. Rick has a deep Rolodex and connected us with someone who could do the financing on this complex deal. Someday we will sell our current house, and Rick will be our first call.

My parents hired Rick Franz to sell their Bellevue condo when they moved to Assisted Living. He was amazing and so friendly and responsive. He understood the difficulty of leaving a home. When I sold my second home he came in and made the sale quickly and efficiently. Also, he has featured my favorite James Bond movies over the years! He even dressed up as Bond! A wonderful person to know!!!

The goal is to make your home as appealing as possible to the most potential buyers, before photos of your home are taken. Staging your home can include anything from redecorating to rearranging furniture, cleaning or other aesthetic strategies to present the home in the best possible light. You can do it yourself, have your real estate agent guide you, or hire a staging company.
In most cases, the buyer pays for the home inspection.
If someone is selling a home that needs repairs - yet chooses not to fix them - they may choose to list a property as-is. Disclosures and inspections are typical steps in the process. In an as-is sale, a buyer is willingly purchasing the home in its current state with full knowledge of its condition.
When selling a property, it is incumbent upon the seller to disclose any details about the home that might negatively affect its value.
Factors such as the time of year and market conditions play a big role in how quickly a property sells. How you price, market and stage your home are also very important variables that will affect how long a home remains on the market.
Any fixture that is ‘attached’ or built into the house typically remains. For example, if your house has built-in bookshelves, they typically stay with the house. The same is true of kitchen or bathroom fixtures, and fireplaces. Exceptions and details can be discussed during the negotiation process.
There are many factors that affect the housing market, but understanding what to expect - and being prepared beforehand - can make buying and selling a property at the same time possible.
A professional appraiser will inspect a property and compare it to other similar homes in the area. From there, a fair market value is determined. Unless you plan on paying all cash for a property, you will likely need a home appraisal.
A real estate agent is paid as part of the closing costs, which comes out of the sale proceeds at the end of the process.
Your first step is to hire a real estate agent you trust. Together, you will set an asking price, prepare your home for listing, list and market your property, negotiate an offer, and close on the sale.
Sharing particular information when connecting with a real estate agent can help give you an idea of your home’s value in today’s market. The in-person expertise of a real estate agent will give you a more accurate opinion of your home’s value.
