Fall Perspectives 2018: Our Pledge To You

Thumb_john_s_windermere_template_personal-4

Posted in Perspectives by Jill Jacobi Wood, OB Jacobi & Geoff Wood


Change is afoot. We suppose it always is, but doesn’t it all seem to come at us so much faster in today’s world? We see change all around us. Just consider, for a moment, how much technology has changed our lives thanks to innovators like Uber, Google, and Apple, to name a few. Technology has also changed the way we do real estate. The real estate world is a complex environment that most...

Giving Back to the Community One Home Sale At a Time

Thumb_group-10-hires_cropped

Posted in Community, Windermere Foundation, and Perspectives by Jill Jacobi Wood, OB Jacobi & Geoff Wood


Community has always been a big part of who we are at Windermere. Back in the early days of the company it was pretty simple; we would see a need and help where we could. But as we grew, we realized we could accomplish much more if we had a stronger focus, so we started the Windermere Foundation in 1989 with the goal of helping low-income and homeless families.

From Cap and Gown to Community Service

Thumb_17212_csd_socialmedia_1

Posted in Community, Perspectives, and Windermere by Jill Jacobi Wood, OB Jacobi & Geoff Wood


This is a philosophy that we believe in wholeheartedly at Windermere. That’s why every year our offices close their doors for one day to help make a positive difference in their communities. It all started in 1984 with a handful of agents who came together to help out a local elementary school that needed some TLC. Thirty-three years and more than one million hours of community service later...

Spring Perspectives

Thumb_wreliving_spring2017-cover-full

Posted in Perspectives by Jill Jacobi Wood, OB Jacobi & Geoff Wood


When Windermere first opened its doors in 1972, it was a one-office operation in Northeast Seattle. Since then, we have grown to more than 300 offices in 10 states throughout the Western U.S. We are truly, and proudly, a regional company. In that same vein, Windermere Living started as a Pacific Northwest publication but now encompasses all the areas where we have offices, from San Diego to...

Perspectives: 2017 Forecast

Thumb_content_content_thekids_crop_4x6

Posted in Perspectives by Jill Jacobi Wood, OB Jacobi & Geoff Wood


Well, it’s December; the time of year when we look to our crystal ball and offer our housing market predictions for the coming year. And by crystal ball we mean Windermere’s Chief Economist, Matthew Gardner, who has been traveling up and down the West Coast giving his annual forecast to a variety of real estate and financial organizations.

Windermere and the Seahawks partner to #TackleHomelessness

Perspectives: Buyer Fatigue

Thumb_content_thekids_crop_4x6

Posted in Buying and Perspectives by Jill Jacobi Wood, OB Jacobi & Geoff Wood


Buyer fatigue. It’s a very real thing and we’re seeing it in cities all up and down the West Coast. What’s causing it? Intensely competitive market conditions in which bidding wars and properties selling for significantly more than asking price are the norm. It’s tiring for buyers. It’s tiring for agents. And it’s emotionally draining when you continue to find, and then lose, the perfect home...

Perspectives: 2016 Forecast

Thumb_content_thekids_crop_4x6

Posted in Perspectives by Jill Jacobi Wood, OB Jacobi & Geoff Wood


This is an election year. Economists tell us that nothing out of the ordinary typically happens to the U.S. economy in an election year – even in one as crazy as this one is turning out to be. That being said, it doesn’t mean the economy will stop growing or that the housing market will come to a standstill. In fact, according to Windermere’s Chief Economist, Matthew Gardner, employment....

Perspectives: No Child Sleeps Outside

Thumb_content_thekids_crop_4x6

Posted in Perspectives by Jill Jacobi Wood, OB Jacobi & Geoff Wood


States of emergency are usually proclaimed after natural disasters, such as earthquakes and hurricanes, but last month city leaders declared one in Seattle for homelessness. The numbers they quoted were staggering. Over 10,000 homeless people in King County. Sixty-four homeless deaths so far this year. The stat that really sank our hearts: nearly 3,000 children in Seattle Public Schools...
