4 plus decades of helping hundreds of buyer and seller clients have truly been a blessing. With 8 grandkids and 5 great-grandkids, I can relate to every demographic. Not just transactions, but relationships, adventures, and fun! I would be honored to help with your real estate dreams!
Representation
I take pride in offering high-caliber full-service residential real estate expertise. My clients are my top priority, and I focus on delivering the best possible results for them.
Expertise
The real estate market is hyperlocal, seasonal and temperamental—in other words, it can change on a dime. Technology has made information more accessible to everyone, but it can be difficult to keep up with recent events that affect home values. The benefits of working with a licensed real estate professional go far beyond what a mobile app, online video, or website can do.
I provide my clients with information on market seasonality and information relevant to what is happening in their specific neighborhood. This customized analysis includes recent comparable sales that factor into an offer and acceptance strategy.
Negotiations
Successful negotiations help move a conversation forward and transform the process into an agreement that’s a win for all parties. Negotiation is not only a skill, but a mindset. I keep my clients’ best interests top of mind as I negotiate on their behalf.
Transactional Excellence
I am dedicated to transactional excellence for every listing and sale. What this means for you is that I oversee every detail of the real estate transaction. The transaction is far from over once an offer has been accepted. I monitor inspections, appraisals, title, escrow and loan processes. Communication and collaboration with all the partners and parties involved with the transaction ensures a smooth and timely closing. I am committed to my clients before, during and after a sale.
I look forward to working with you!
As your Buyer's Representative, we can make the process of house hunting much easier and more efficient than if you did it all yourself. We can help you get financing, guide you to local neighborhoods, help you determine your budget, and prioritize a list of essential features that you need in your next home. We'll save you valuable time by finding the properties that best suit your requirements, and will show you only the most promising ones.
Once you've found a place that catches your eye, we'll look at comparable properties in the area to help determine a purchase offer. Then we'll negotiate on your behalf with the seller to make sure you get the most favorable terms.
It's our job to look after your best interests!
Selling a house on your own can be an overwhelming task. There's advertising to plan and budget for, open houses and private showings to arrange, purchase offers to negotiate, contract contingencies to worry about, and complicated paperwork to fill out. Make it easy on yourself by putting your home in the hands of a seasoned professional. I have extensive experience marketing properties and showing them to their best advantage.
First, we'll perform a comparable market analysis to determine the most appropriate price for your home. Then we'll provide home staging advice and suggest landscaping changes that will help draw buyers in. We'll advertise your home through a variety of methods, including local publications and online MLS® listings.
Market knowledge goes beyond simply knowing the neighborhoods. Ask us about the school district, available parking, or standard bedroom sizes in the area.
Your time is valuable. That's why I take the time upfront to understand your unique wants, needs and dislikes to ensure the rest of our time together is productive as possible.
You have questions and I have answers. I'll make sure that you feel confident and empowered when it comes to make important real estate and purchasing decisions.
I have had the pleasure of working with Larry Bell for over a quarter century in the business of real estate. He is the epitome of a true professional. His work ethic… and morals have proven themselves through a test of time and his statistical record of transactions backs him up. You should feel fortunate to have this man as your Realtor. Many speak the language of Real Estate but few "Live It" . Larry Lives Real Estate - and all his clients benefit from his care and expertise. I am honored to be a friend and co-worker of Larry Bell."
Cathy Hartmann Gladwell
"This sale happened so fast. Larry priced the home right. I needed to sell now and that's what happened.”
T. Dubie
"A real team effort. A good sales plan, with lots of involvement by both the broker and us. Couldn't be happier.”
T. Summers
"Larry is an absolute pleasure to work with. My wife and I worked with Larry to buy our first home and ended up in the Bothell area. We were very new to the process and were definitely not used to the overwhelming experience of buying a home around Seattle. Larry made it easy for us by explaining everything we needed to know and was truly our partner throughout. He was always there to answer any and every question we had (which was a lot). In the end, he showed us at least 50 houses personally, and we bid on 5 (I think) before ultimately winning our dream home. I can't speak highly enough of Larry's depth of knowledge, ability to communicate, and drive to accommodate us at every turn.”
Ethan and Bryanna
"Larry and his team did a very good job in supporting the sale of our home. Larry's knowledge of the process and his responsiveness were instrumental in helping us to sell our home in under two weeks. His knowledge of how to best market our home was beneficial in preparing the home for sale and his pricing recommendation was "spot on". He handled all transactions in a timely manner which enabled an early closure saving additional interest to us. Overall, very satisfied with Larry's service and knowledge. Easiest home sale to date for my wife and I.”
B. Collinridge
"Larry Bell has my endorsement as a top realty professional in Everett WA. I have sold a 3 bedroom home and a condominium in the area using Larry's expertise for both listings. I have known Larry for 10 years and consider him a friend. He has been in the business of selling property for 30+ years. It definitely makes a positive difference when a seller or buyer can hire an agent who has historical and useful information to share about the local housing market and personal housing preferences.”
Barbara Walker
"Larry was our angel in helping us find a home in the Everett area in an extremely crazy market and from a distance as we were still in Pennsylvania. He gave us… personal video tours of multiple homes, worked tirelessly to find us a place, "got" what we were looking for, and was patient in the process as we figured out our needs. We trusted him fully and are so happy with the home he found for us and how he diplomatically negotiated with the seller. He's not only super skilled and experienced as a realtor, but he has a heart of gold!"
Jill Young
"We have already recommended Larry Bell to others considering selling/buying a house. His years of experience provide him excellent background and understanding of the preparation to sell and how to negotiate to a satisfying closing of escrow. His responsiveness was immediate throughout the process, keeping us informed and alert on the steps we needed to take. He is a wonderful person to work with."
The Fuhriman’s
"We have worked with a few realtors in the Seattle area. When we met Larry, we connected with him. He listened to us and paid attention to what we were looking for in our next home. Larry was very patient in working with us to find the home that met our needs. When we found the house, following Larry’s advice is what got us to mutual acceptance. We are so happy with our purchase and we couldn’t have done it without Larry. His advice, knowledge of the market, and patience kept us in the market and secured us the home we were looking for. By the way, we are moving back to Washington from Ohio. We trusted Larry so much that we closed on the house from Ohio, without actually seeing the house in person. We highly recommend Larry.”
Galen and Jill Passeau
"Larry and Judy, Thank you so much for being like friends to me through this home purchase. I never realized how much went into this whole process of buying a house and I feel like you were not just helping me find a house but had my best interest at heart the whole time. I feel like I had a great team helping me achieve my goal."
Denise
"After selling my home, I was looking for another house to buy in Seattle. Larry became my buying agent. He let me feel like I was always his top priority regardless of the 25+ miles traffic between us. He was available for most of time I wanted for a house tour even on weekend and was fast at any response like email and phone. Seattle’s housing market was hot and competitive. However, Larry did not pressure me to buy anything out of my price range. We went through multiple bids and for 8 months to finally close one. He even bought a 1 year appliance warranty as a gift for my new condo."
T. Khaut
"We are a young family and, in the hustle of the Seattle-area market, we had been feeling like it would be impossible for us to ever become homeowners. I called Larry to get his advice and expertise on the real estate market and to find out what would be possible for our little family. He was so responsive, compassionate, and helpful. He explained our options, walked us through the whole process step-by-step, and then worked within our budget to help us find the right first home for our family. He was always available to answer my questions and assuage the inevitable fears that crop up when buying a first house. Larry is trustworthy, honest, and there was never even a moment during this process that I didn't believe his priority was finding the best home for our family. He was looking out for us and we couldn't be more thankful!"
Ross and Jill
"Larry is an excellent realtor. He was very knowledgeable with all aspects of my purchase, and worked with me to find the best property at the best price. Larry was very accommodating, and met me at my new property several times before closing just so I could take pictures, measure rooms, etc. He always responded to my calls and emails in a timely manner, and was a pleasure to work with. I will definitely use Larry again for my next purchase.”
T. Salari
"We were referred to Larry Bell by some friends because we were doing a short sale and we needed someone with experience in those. That is what we got. Larry and associates gave us recommendations on what to do to get our house ready to sell. We did those things and the first weekend we had the house on the market we got an offer. The process in a short sale takes a while as the bank/lender is involved and they take their time. We were kept in the loop of everything that was going on. Anything that needed my attention was emailed to me and I turned it around as soon as I could and it was sent where it needed to go right away. Emails and phone calls were answered quickly and any issues I saw were corrected or explained to my satisfaction. When the offer was accepted by the bank and we had a closing date everything we needed to do/sign was told to us by Larry and we had no trouble in getting it done. Now, with our closing date 2 months past, I have called Larry with questions/issues and he still helps us out with whatever he can.”
The Hopp Family
"Larry made himself available virtually every weekend for months. He was always ready to give advice, show a new home or just take us around to see the different neighborhoods. We could not be more satisfied with the home we purchased and the negotiations that Larry expertly navigated. We got the things we really desired in a home at the price we were hoping to pay. It doesn't get much better than that and you can do much better than Larry and his team.”
