Steve Swanson

I pride myself on being knowledgeable and staying current with changes in the real estate industry and the market trends of Redmond homes and condos for sale around the Seattle area. I specialize in selling homes and condos in King County and South Snohomish County. You have worked hard to be able to purchase the home of your dreams. I feel the responsibility to help make those dreams a reality.

My goal... is to help you obtain yours!

As a First Time Homebuyer specialist, I am an instructor of Washington State Housing Finance Commission sponsored First Time Home Buyer Seminars. There are many programs offering assistance to First Time Homebuyers in getting qualified and approved for state, county, and federal downpayment assistance specifically targeted for First Time Homebuyers.

Whether you are buying or selling a home, I am committed to making your real estate transaction a successful experience.

It would be a privilege to help you find your new home or in obtaining the best price possible on the home you now own! The opportunity to interview for your business is appreciated.
