Seattle, Bellevue, and the surrounding area is home to a thriving business sector -- executives want their homes to grow alongside their careers -- personal space, family time, and work/life balance are important; buyers are often too busy excelling at work to burn out their personal time managing loud and dusty home projects to elevate the house to modern design standards. They are willing to pay top dollar for a house that’s move-in ready, featuring all of the latest amenities and prestige designs straight out of their dog-eared home decor magazines. Relocating executives want to hit the ground running as soon as they land in Seattle -- plus they often have signing bonuses to invest in their properties.
