Monday, 21 November 2011 by Chuck Marunde

Buyers have been asking, “Are we at a market bottom?  Are real estate prices stablized or are they going down more?”  No buyer wants to pay too much for a home, so these are intelligent questions any discerning retiree is going to ask.  But these questions have been relevant for a couple of years, and

Buyers ask me about real estate prices and the question is, “What is a fair price in this market?”  As I show homes to retirees from outside the Sequim area, the concern they have when they find the ideal home is how much to offer.  They don’t want to pay more than they have to,

Home Values Tumbling?

Monday, 09 May 2011 by Chuck Marunde

Are home values tumbling?  Fox news reported today that Zillow’s first quarter data suggested that home prices have dropped in the U.S. by 3% in the first three months of 2011. As they say, “Statistics don’t like–statisticians do.”  In this case, there are many possible interpretations of this data.  But there are a few simple

From Los Angeles

It's rare, but once in awhile life provides the perfect collaborator for an important endeavor such as buying your new home. For me that person was Chuck Marunde. His two decade background as a Real Estate Attorney, his prolific career as an author of articles and books on Real Estate and his forthright and moral character made choosing Chuck a no-brainer. Chuck is dedicated, thorough, incredible at the negotiating table, knowledgeable about all local laws & regs but, most importantly, Chuck loves what he does. And what he does is find his client the perfect property. Chuck isn't about making the sale, he's about making the sale that is OPTIMUM for his CLIENT and this makes Chuck a rare bird indeed. I love my new home in Sequim and I am indebted to Chuck for making it happen. Kevin E.

From Seattle

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chuck over the past three years in selling my parent's estate. It was a tough time to sell during the housing recession, but Chuck always kept things on the positive side. With his real estate law background, he offers sound, practical advice. He helps you along with the process using discussions and reason, rather than opinions and speculations. If Chuck doesn’t know the answers, he will get them for you. In several instances, Chuck took the initiative to meet with county officials to get up-to-date facts about zoning and regulations. I was always impressed with his company’s tech savvy communi-cations and internet presence: weekly email updates, blogs, videos, links, Linked-in networking, etc. He is truly pioneering the future of buying & selling real estate. Brian M.

From California

"Andy Romano is a successful motion picture character actor with over 40 years in 'the Biz.' Mr. Romano has a home in beautiful Santa Barbara, California, but he chooses to live most of the time in Sequim, Washington on the Olympic Peninsula in the great Pacific Northwest. Why? In his own words, 'Because it's even more beautiful and surrounded by more beauty in this incredibly peaceful and quiet place. With respect to real estate agents or brokers, well my friend Chuck Marunde, owner of Sequim and Port Angeles Real Estate, is hands down the best there" Andy R.
