Are property owners still doing 1031 tax deferred exchanges in Greater Seattle’s current real estate market? Yes, if they have adequate equity in their investment property.

Loan rates are super low. If you’re blessed with stable employment, a good credit score, have some money in the bank, don’t have a lot of debt, and have a downpayment this may be a ripe opportunity to start thinking about buying yourself a home or condo.

Wanna dish Seattle life, real estate, traveling around Western Washington? On Twitter you can find me @urbantweeter

Via functionality through Alarm.com homeowners can control and manage their home systems from their smart phone. The design is wireless so it installs quick and easy. The site is useful and provides pertinent information on all the panel features (home status, emergency, window/door sensor, alarm status, keypad, thermostat, lighting, weather).

If you need a GE dealer around Seattle I recommend Tim Burdick at Burdick’s Security.
