Port Angeles Real Estate BuyersIs Port Angeles a great place to retire? Absolutely. Hear from a couple from Arizona who are just making the move here and recently purchased a beautiful waterfront lot.

“We are ex-Washington residents who currently live in Arizona. We had been searching the Puget Sound area four years for a waterfront property to build a retirement home when we first contacted Chuck Marunde through his website. We had made multiple trips to various areas but most of the Realtors we contacted simply sent us an email, provided no follow up and did next to nothing to help us locate a property.

On our first trip to Port Angeles, after connecting with Chuck, we purchased our dream property. We now own a high bank waterfront lot overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and are excited to become part of the Peninsula community.”

    Buying vacant property is a little like having a new home built. There are so many Traps for the Unwary, so many things that can go wrong. Someone who hasn’t been in a real estate nightmare may think, “Oh, it won’t happen to me.” Maybe not, but that is like saying, “Oh, I won’t have a car accident.” Bad things do happen to good people. Buying vacant land that hasn’t been developed by a professional developer/builder, requires many things. Of course, it makes a difference whether you’re buying one 5 acre parcel or 20 acres that need to be divided. Want to see my checklist of issues a developer is obligated to consider? Thought you’d never ask.

  • A Message From Chuck Marunde

    Search This Blog (780+ articles):

    Would you recommend Chuck Marunde as a Buyer’s Agent?

    We contacted Chuck to be our buyer’s agent for our purchase of a home in the Sequim area.  Throughout the entire process he was enjoyable to work with, and we found him to be exceptionally knowledgeable, thorough and diligent on our behalf.  He was in constant contact and always readily available and responsive by phone and email.  We were buying from out of state and unable to cover the various steps in the process, so we really appreciated Chuck’s willingness to personally handle what we needed to have done.  He coordinated and attended the various inspections, followed up on our numerous questions and requests relating to the sale (including measuring rooms and sending photos), and even conducted the final walk through of the property for us.  We particularly valued his advice on a number of different issues that arose – and that he handled for us – during the transaction.   

    In short, we were very impressed with Chuck and would recommend him highly to anyone who is considering purchasing (or selling) in the Sequim area.
