Recently I received this testimonial from clients who purchased in Sammamish
"My wife and I recently hired Tony to help us buy a house to start the next phase of our lives. He was fantastic, and a pleasure to work with. He handled our pickiness, had tons of knowledge about arcane home stuff that was incredibly useful in picking the right house, and did immense amounts of work while we were out of town to help us close on time. If you need a realtor in the Puget Sound area, you won't go wrong with Tony – in fact you'll be hard pressed to do better."
Pankaj Kakkar & Joyeeta Sarkar
This is the type of feedback that fuels my fire. Thank you Pankaj & Joyeeta! It's my pleasure to be of service!

The decline in home sales in February was a disappointment to the housing industry, but Fannie Mae’s analysts say it is temporary and a sustainable turnaround is likely by the end of the year.
Fannie Mae Chief Economist Doug Duncan points to evidence that a recovery is on its way, including an increase in consumer spending, an improving service sector, and the likelihood that employers will begin hiring soon.
"More favorable financial conditions overall keep us optimistic that we are moving forward with the recovery, albeit at a lower trajectory than previously forecast," Duncan said in a statement.

The Federal Reserve renewed its commitment to keep key interest rates near zero for an “extended period,” but also confirmed that it will stop buying mortgage-backed securities at the end of March.
The Fed, whose regular meeting began Tuesday, said that “housing starts have been flat at depressed levels” and “employers remain reluctant to add to payrolls” as a reason for extending the cap on interest rates.
“The Committee will continue to monitor the economic outlook and financial developments and will employ its policy tools as necessary to promote economic recovery and price stability,” the Federal Open Market Committee statement said.

Tony and his team are more than real estate brokers – they are relationship builders who never stop after the sale. I have known Tony now for over 20 years and he continually stays in touch and top of mind with great newsletters on hot topics for improving your life and your home owning experience. I have since bought and sold several houses and have recommended them to many of my friends. They truly are the best at what they do.
