Dick Carruthers at Windermere

In our continuing quest for great real estate agents there are some that have quietly maintained a long standing career of excellence.

There are some people you can trust to do first rate marketing for your home. Dick Carruthers has always provided the most professional marketing tools. He has a great design sense that helps to convey the feeling of value in a property. He’s consistent in his professional representation. You can trust he knows his market place and will help you to make the best decisions.

Now aside from a long history of the very best representation for buyers and sellers Dick has taken the time to become a specialist for Seniors. This is a designation given by the National Association of Realtors. There are other people who I know that have the designation, but Dick Carruthers is the one who truly fits the market. 

In another post I’ll talk about how agents specialize in buyer representation or marketing. There are few agents that are comfortable doing both, or do both equally well. Then you have to add in the temperament of the agent. Some agents are a little to focused on making a sale rather than looking out for your interests.

When I saw Dick Carruthers this week it was a perfect fit of who I would trust with our family home. I would introduce Dick to my parents without reservation that he would do and say the appropriate things. He has a heightened level of compassion, an empathy.

I realize these are bold claims, maybe a bit over board. The fact is that with a designation of dealing with Senior issues there is a lot to consider. Anyone can take the classes, few would be able to work in that market. It just occurred to me that as a resource Dick Carruthers would fit the niche.

About David Losh

In 1984 I got my Real Estate license and worked in a small company called Advance Properties. The owner was extremely interested in Real Estate, building, and land development. Most of his work was concentrated North of Seattle. Since the 1970s I had worked for Real Estate agents in Seattle as a contractor, mostly preparing properties for rent, and sale. After a few years my skill level increased considerably concerning land use, building code, and development practices. Escrow, and lending offices were housed at the Advance Properties building so it was easy to get involved in all aspects of Real Estate. It was very much a family owned, and operated business. Over the years my Real Estate license has been at a variety of Real Estate companies, and offices. Nothing compares to those early years, or that sense of family. Real Estate has gotten to be corporate owned. My hope with this blog is to share with you some of the things I've learned. If you have Real Estate needs, or want contractor help, I refer freely to what best suits you. If you should choose to work with me you'll find a great resource. My Real Estate license is at Skyline Properties in Northgate. Skyline is a locally owned company that is a desk fee office. There is a wide variety of diverse agents. It helps me with some of the other projects that I have, and mentoring that I do, to be able to work with people from other cultures. Here in Seattle we are close to Vancouver BC and are the gateway to China. Boeing has a great trade relationship with China, as does Microsoft have with all of Asia. We are a culturally diverse community, and it helps me to be invlolved.
