Buying a home can be an exciting — sometimes nail-biting — experience, especially in today’s market. With the right team, research, and strategy behind you, you can feel confident and in control throughout the whole process. As your trusted real estate advisor, my team and I are here to minimize the stress of making sure you don’t miss out on the right home.

As a lifelong North End resident (I can barely fill up my tank or go to the store for an IPA six pack without running into an old friend from high school), I know the ins and outs of every neighborhood. Plus, with my Certified Residential Appraiser background, I have a unique understanding of the local market, which makes calculating your sweet spot offer my specialty.

Testimonial

We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Anders. Every single step of the way, he was on top of it. We found a property we love, got an offer in, completed acceptance, inspections, closed, and get keys… all within 30 days. Speed was not our goal. Anders just made it possible. His knowledge of the neighborhood and the market in general, along with his objective approach when letting us know what to expect, made us very comfortable with him right away. We don’t plan on moving, but if we ever had to buy a home again in Tacoma, we would insist on partnering with Anders again.

– Brian Espinosa, North End home owner

Anders knows his stuff and is helpful at every turn. Although I wanted to work with him because of his track record and positions in public service, what I came to truly value is Anders’ knack for level-headed communication: he’s super responsive, with exactly the right level of detail. He will elicit your priorities and preferences, and then act quickly and skillfully on your behalf. Stop reading this and give him a call!

– Brian Kerr, West Tacoma home owner

I give credit to Anders for closing on the house that my wife and I got! He understands the market very well and helped us put in a strong offer so we could be under contract after just 1 weekend of looking around (we were on a tight time schedule). He was able to handle small issues autonomously and led the way to getting a second lender when the first fell through, without which we would have lost the house. Great effort by Anders, we really appreciated having him as our broker.

– Matthew Heidebrecht, West Tacoma home owner

I hired Anders as my agent for a home purchase in spring and summer 2020, and I couldn’t be happier. This was my first time buying a home and Anders listened to what I wanted and what my goals were, and worked to help me get there.

He was insightful, thoughtful, did his research, reassured me when I needed it and was a bulldog when I needed it. I will definitely be using him again!

– Melissa Malott, Central Tacoma home owner

Anders was a pleasure to work with and was always available for us as we navigated our first home purchase. He always accommodated showings with our hectic (and late) work schedules and was available to answer our questions around the clock. Thankful to have had such a responsive and flexible (and mask-wearing) professional during what could have been a severely stressful time to buy and to have finished the process, start to finish, so quickly!

– Melissa Wade, Central Tacoma home owner

I greatly appreciated Anders’ dedication to his work, knowledge of the local area, and powerful negotiating skills. I truly believe Anders’ quick responsiveness and “get-up-and-go” attitude was critical to us being the winning bid on our first home purchase. In fact, thanks to Anders, I can’t believe how smoothly and quickly the entire process went. He demonstrated that he was really on our side and wanted us to be happy and find the right home for us.

– Erin Flood, South Tacoma home owner

Buying a home during a pandemic was not without its challenges, but Anders was the perfect agent to help navigate all the last minute complications that cropped up when everything shut down. His knowledge of Tacoma’s neighborhoods and regulatory structures is second to none, and he’s always a level headed straight shooter. Would 100% recommend him to my all of my friends.

– Jennifer Boutell, East Tacoma home owner

Anders was recommended to me by many friends. He did a great job of being able to point out any potential problems and things we might not like, and never tried to “sell” us on anything. As first time home buyers we had a lot of questions, but he was there every step of the way with advice. We found our dream home and had some issues with the appraisal that were stressful but Anders handled everything amazingly to get it fixed, and we were able to close timely! He was incredibly responsive with any questions we had, and also just a cool person to talk to personally. I would hands down recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor.

– Alix Harvey, East Tacoma home owner

I didn’t even know realtors like Anders existed! He went above and beyond EVERY step of the way. He’s knowledgeable, attentive, and a fierce advocate for his clients. Not only did he help us get into a house that we never thought we’d be able to get in this market, when he listed our house, he was able to market our home to get us very competitive multiple offers. We would just shake our head in awe at how smoothly the process was going because of Anders and his team. We are so very grateful.

– Lauren Kutz, Bremerton home owner

Anders has assisted me with two personal real estate transactions: The purchase of my home, and later of the vacant lot next door. I credit my successful closing on my amazing home to Anders’ incredibly detailed knowledge of the options and the ins-and-outs of real estate transacting. Anders was always there for my questions and worries about the process, and I’ve never known a real estate broker to demonstrate such instinctive integrity—and I’ve been around the block a few times. Don’t doubt this: He is the best. And a great guy besides!

– Michele Romero, Anderson Island home owner

Breaking down the buying process

I know that every buyer’s worst fear is losing out on their dream house — or paying what feels like way too much for it. As your advisor throughout this process, I’ll make sure you have the certainty and peace of mind you need as you make one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.

Here’s how I’ll ensure a smooth process:

  • Step 1: Initial Interview + Goal-Setting

    We’ll start off with a conversation about your goals so we can get crystal clear on what you’re looking for in an ideal home. I’ll also take time to arm you with the information you need to feel in control throughout the whole process.

  • Step 2: Financing

    I’ll help you get set up for success with an excellent lender — someone local who advocates for you, as well as a loan team that’s actually on your side. And if you’re selling at the same time, I’ll help you coordinate those factors and timelines.

  • Step 3: Search Process

    My team’s smart, methodical, and incredibly well-organized buyer’s agent will create a customized search for your perfect home and be your guide during showings.

  • Step 4: Winning Offer

    After we find a property that checks all your boxes, we’ll analyze all the data to determine what a winning offer looks like for your unique situation. I’ll make sure you’re comfortable with whatever number we land on, while staying realistic and true to the current market.

  • Step 5: Smooth Negotiations + Inspections

    Once your offer is accepted, I’ll ensure all the intricacies of the transaction are taken care of — including a proper inspection. As a buyer’s agent, I’ve also reversed over half a dozen low appraisals and saved my buyers tens of thousands of dollars by combing through reports to find any possible mistakes.

  • Step 6: Ongoing Communication

    Once you’re a client, you’ll always be a client. So even after we’ve closed on your new house, I’ll help you sail through the post-closing process. And even years down the road, I will always be just one phone call away if you - or anyone you know - ever need anything.
