Our Role as Your Listing Agent

"Cal and Lindee Stanford gave us the best possible results with the least amount of hassle and aggravation."

You probably used the services of a real estate agent when your bought your home. In that situation, you were a buyer looking for a home already listing/marketed for sale. You may have met the agent at an open house or through a referral from a friend. This agent took on the role as a buyer's agent representing you and your interests throughout the transaction. Our Realtor code of ethics and the Washington State laws of real estate agency require that the buyer's agent work only on the behalf of the buyer.

Now, as a home seller, you need the services of a dedicated professional Realtor to solely represent your interests as a home seller. The roles and services of real estate agents are very different on both sides of the transaction. This is not to say that a buyer's real estate agent will intentionally deceive or mislead you. Realtors subscribe to a code of ethics and state law require basic integrity in all of our dealings with clients on both sides of a transaction.

However, when it comes to the nuances of each transaction, our commitment to you in the sale of your house is to ensure you have as much information as possible to make good, informed decisions. We ensure you are protected and your position asserted in every way throughout the entire transaction.

As your listing agents, we execute a detailed and comprehensive marketing plan to get your house widest exposure on the market and ensure the buyer and the buyer's agent are singing our tune for you.
