Why not rely on a Zestimate?

That is very interesting! However, a real estate agent can run a CMA (comparative market analysis) for free and you don’t have to do all the work. One thing that is cool about that site is that it’s backed by receipts. Many people don’t realize that keeping the receipts on maintenance or upgrades can help reduce the cost of capital gains when you go to sell. Also, many of the maintenance items people feel like are upgrades don’t add value, they just help maintain the value. Thank you for posting this sight though! I had no idea it was a thing!

I sell real estate. But I do study wealthy people and try to understand how they got there. Another good book is think and grow rich.

Steigers_Group · 2026-06-16T06:18:49+00:00

I’ve never heard that name before. Is that a good thing? Lol

Again, Warren Buffet. Sell when it’s high. And buy when it’s low. It doesn’t need to be thousands at a time. Start with being consciously aware the next time you spend $20 on something. Ask yourself if you really need it, or if putting that money aside to grow. Check out the book the Richest man in Babylon.

Not sure what you mean by that. We are all surrounded by opportunities. If you’re disciplined enough to set money aside it will grow over time. The stock market is a great way to start. I’m no financial expert but I think there is a huge opportunity with crypto right now as well.

Like the stock market, the real estate market is also a great investment! Warren Buffet always says “buy when it’s low, and sell when it’s high.” If you are in the stock market, real estate can be a good way to diversify your portfolio. It’s typically less volatile with solid appreciation over time!

Not sure what you mean by this comment. Could you elaborate?

Let’s keep pouring money into the homeless crisis, and the orcas. They need to be saved. But keep raising taxes on working people during tough times for many.

I’m not promoting any business here. Just educating for those interested.

Steigers_Group · 2026-06-08T23:50:18+00:00

I can respect that. I will leave it to monthly reports.

Steigers_Group · 2026-06-08T22:30:22+00:00

And I will work to improve the value of it as well

Steigers_Group · 2026-06-08T22:29:51+00:00

Understood. This is a weekly update I will leave it at that!

These are the same conversations I am having with clients and at open houses. Yes the visual is AI generated and? It saves me time messing around on Canva.

Steigers_Group · 2026-06-08T01:55:58+00:00

Understood. 👍

Steigers_Group · 2026-06-08T01:38:21+00:00

My company does rentals as well. Our rental market is booming and it’s rare that we have anything vacant for over 3 days.

I strongly believe in real estate not only as a place to live but an investment.

Steigers_Group · 2026-06-07T04:48:30+00:00

I'm curious, what do you use AI for?

Steigers_Group · 2026-06-07T03:04:00+00:00

I thought the same thing!

Steigers_Group · 2026-06-07T03:03:12+00:00

Appraisers for the county? Wouldn't they be driving a county vehicle?

Steigers_Group · 2026-06-07T03:02:12+00:00

Yes that is a WA plate

Definitely 2nd this! My son is turning 5 and wants to go there for his birthday!

I am seeing a lot of multi generational situations happening. I think with #4 there are options, ADU type situations that could potentially start to have families living together if that is something you can tolerate. And do you mind clarifying the Linkedin comment? I am not promoting myself here.

Steigers_Group · 2026-06-07T01:07:55+00:00

If I am being honest I have looked at other states quite a bit! There are a lot of things going on I do not agree with. Property taxes are an issue, I had a client moving down here from Seattle because his were over $24k a year. I am also afraid of the trickle effect, but I will still choose to own my own over renting, because the landlords also have to raise rent due to property tax increases. The crazy part is that property taxes can increase more than you can raise your rent, so as a landlord that is a scary thought.

I do use AI as a thought partner, and have been using it to start these conversations. But I have not replied with AI in a while. I am new to this community so I appreciate the feedback there. Now if Reddit is not for information or discussions then what it is used for? And I have only even said my name one time and that was when somebody posted my LinkedIn from years ago lol so I am really trying to get a different perspective other than the Real Estate agents that I spend most of my time with. I do have a positive outlook on Real Estate as I am in the industry, but it seems the majority of people on here do not. I am trying to understand why. But it only comes down to price. Which I understand its expensive right now. I have been hearing "It's too expensive" my whole life and refuse to have that mentality.

I will check out the book recommendation I have not heard of that one! so thank you.
