My approach to dealing with
customers is based on reliability and care. I will always be
available for you and will walk you through the process of
buying or selling your home, paying attention to every detail
and caring about your needs.
I am focused on identifying your very specific needs and wishes
in finding the property that closely meets your demands. Your
satisfaction with the property is my top priority - before,
during and after the purchase. I will be your guide in Seattle
Real Estate, browsing through real estate listings to find the
"gem" you need. Many real estate agents say this, but only few
can deliver.
Fluent both in English and Russian.

In order to eligible, you
must:
-
Be a first-time buyer
-
Attend a home buyer
education seminar
-
Meet county-based income
limits
-
Participate in the
Express Program
|
Participating in these two programs can create an opportunity for
you to purchase a house at a low interest rate with zero money down.
However, you must act quickly: Washington State has set aside
a finite amount of funding for the Express Program and HouseKey.
They will only be available as long as the funding lasts. In
addition, not every lender can offer these programs. Response
Mortgage Services is one that does.
