Buying in Seattle

Condos and townhomes make up much of the market, so building approval and HOA review matter early. Detached ADUs and DADUs are common and need lenders comfortable with the appraisal.

Buyers here are working with the state's highest loan limits and frequent multiple-offer situations. Condo buyers need a lender that will approve the specific building, and ADU or DADU properties need a lender comfortable with the appraisal.

What clients say

I’m so grateful to have had Kristen as our loan officer during our home-buying journey. Buying a home can be incredibly stressful, especially with all the moving pieces involved, but Kristen was always there to answer my questions, explain things clearly, and keep everything moving forward. She was patient, responsive, and genuinely cared about helping my family get into our new home. I never felt like just another client. Thank you, Kristen, for all your hard work and for helping make this experience so much smoother for us. We truly appreciate you!
