Amie Pease is a dog lover and a great client.
Amie was one of my first clients many years ago. She was a first-time buyer with a limited income, so we had to look far and wide in Seattle to buy a decent house. Amie is an artist and an interpreter for the deaf and wanted to live in a hip, up-and-coming neighborhood. She finally landed in Georgetown and bought a three-bedroom house with a good sized yard for her dogs, for $128,500, which was quite a score, even 20 years ago.
“I lucked out when a good friend directed me to Serena to help me find my first home,” said Amy. “She was new to her job, and I was a first-time home-buyer. She found me a great home and even hooked me up with a dog who became a neighborhood icon. The experience was fabulous!”
Indeed, Amie has a huge heart and many years ago she adopted a dog that my partner and I had rescued from a bad situation; this small pit-mix had been chained to a leaky dog house, with no bedding, food or water and the owner had moved away several days before. When we rescued her, it was snowing! Kai lived a good life with Amie.
Fast forward about 17 years, and Amie began consulting with me about moving. The constant construction of new town and row-houses in Georgetown was getting to her as she was gradually getting boxed in.
“When it was time to move on to my second house Serena was the obvious choice,” said Amie. The market was tough, but Serena understood what I was looking for.”
We began the search for a two to three-bedroom house, in Southeast Seattle in a super competitive market. Amie’s criteria included a house big enough for her long-time roommate, to live close to a light rail stop as she works downtown, and a decent sized fenced back yard for her two big dogs. She also really loved the craftsman style house (of course, that is a favorite of lots of folks!).
After a few losses, she found her ideal house and beat six other offers! This 1920’s house was very spacious with high ceilings and loads of charm, it had also been updated with a great layout to accommodate roommates. The master bedroom with its own swanky, remodeled bathroom was on the main floor and at the back of the house, which made it super private. Upstairs there were two good sized bedrooms and a full bathroom, so Amie could have two roommates to help with the mortgage if she needed to. There was big private fenced yard for her two dogs too.
“It took two years of searching, and several (happily) unsuccessful offers, but Serena was able to get me into the perfect house when it came available,” said Amie. “I recommend her to anyone looking for a home in South Seattle.”
I am so grateful to Amie for her long-time support as a client and an animal lover.
