      <image:caption>For example, did you imagine that a boat could be Haunted? As the Titanic Exhibition is one place to look, but we have our own haunted ship moored here in Everett. The Schooner Equator, carries a haunting legacy that echoes through its dilapidated hull. Built in 1888 by famed shipwright Matthew Turner, this historic vessel has seen countless adventures, including a journey with author Robert Louis Stevenson. Over the years, however, the Equator fell into disrepair, ultimately being abandoned as a breakwater on Jetty Island. Today, ghostly tales surround the Schooner, with reports of dancing lights above the hull at night, believed to be the spirits of Stevenson and Hawaiian King Kalakaua. Despite its advanced deterioration, the Port of Everett is committed to preserving its story, partnering with archaeologists to study its remains and honor its legacy through future exhibits. As the Schooner Equator faces dismantling, it leaves behind a spectral reminder of its rich maritime history, captivating all who dare to explore its haunting past.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In Washington, it seems essential to include a haunted hike.  This ghost town loop is a sure way to get your adrenaline running. Once a grand early-20th-century sanitarium, this notorious site was designed by the Olmstead Brothers and boasted its own self-sustaining town. However, the horrors of treatments like transorbital lobotomies darkened its illustrious beginnings. Today, while some buildings are still operational, many abandoned structures are nestled within the Northern State Recreation Area, inviting the brave to uncover hidden stories in its barns, milking sheds, and cannery.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Real Estate Blog - Navigating the NAR Settlement: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know</image:title>
      <image:caption>That won’t change. If anything it will become more transparent who is representing who in any given transaction. We are required to hand out the agency pamphlet and explain in detail with our clients how it impacts them. What may change is how commission gets negotiated. In Washington, our MLS (multiple listing service) has been ahead of the curve, and made things transparent for years. But it could change. Keep in mind that commission is a negotiation. A good realtor will not only negotiate on their behalf, but will argue fiercely to protect your interests. We are a fiduciary agent.  Because our MLS is privately owned, and not a subsidiary of the NAR, we were able to opt out of the settlement. That means we can do things that have already been working for us. Protecting your investments by communicating well. What will change, or in fact already has, is that buyers will now need to enter a buyer representation agreement.  In a way, they will have to approach the transaction more like a seller, get to know, and choose a realtor, based on their education, knowledge, personality, and experience. Buyers, like sellers, will need to sign an agreement.  Previously, when my mom was a realtor, buyers did not need this – they could follow an agent through properties, and when they were ready, choose an agent to then make an offer. This is no longer the case. The intention behind the shift is for buyers to receive dedicated representation, and clarity in their real estate transactions. In personal opinion, this means buyers are going to be taken more seriously.  In fact, despite the fact that this is by definition a “Sellers Market,” it seems buyers have more of a voice than before.  Seller concessions are up, and more properties are selling below listing price.  For most folks, buying a home represents the largest financial investment they will make.  It’s important to have someone advocate for you along the way. To Sum Up What Does The NAR Settlment Mean For You? Buyers: Starting January 1, 2024, you must engage in a Buyer Broker Services Agreement early in your real estate journey. This agreement allows you to define how your broker represents you, negotiate compensation terms, and filter property listings accordingly. You can still fire them if it’s not a good fit, but you have to make the choice before you even enter a home. It enhances you have a champion, or at least an individual who will prioritize your journey, and offer clear guidelines throughout the real estate transaction. Sellers: These updates grant sellers greater flexibility in negotiating compensation rates offered to buyer brokers, fostering a more competitive and informed market environment. Buyers and their brokers now have the ability to negotiate terms more actively, influencing the listing process to align with agreed-upon compensation structures. Ready to navigate these changes in Washington real estate with confidence? Whether you're buying or selling, I'm here to guide you through the process. Let's discuss how I can advocate for your interests and ensure a smooth transaction. Contact me today to get started!</image:caption>
