FLOATING HOME SELLERS

Selling a floating home is unlike selling any other type of property in Seattle. With only about 500 floating homes in existence, this is one of the smallest and most specialized real estate markets in the country. Pricing, preparation, marketing, inspections, and even the buyer pool all operate differently than on land—so choosing the right listing agent matters more than ever.

​

For more than 15 years, I’ve specialized in helping floating home owners prepare and sell their unique properties. I understand the nuances of this lifestyle, the story each home carries, and the precise strategies needed to position your home for success.

​

Specialized Preparation for the Market

Every floating home is its own world—its architecture, float type, moorage, slip location, and history all influence value. My role is to help sellers translate those features into a compelling, market-ready presentation by guiding you through:

• float inspections and pre-listing diver evaluations

• appropriate repairs or maintenance unique to over-water homes

• staging that highlights natural light, views, and dock-side living

• storytelling that captures the essence of your home’s lifestyle and history

Floating homes sell best when preparation is intentional and tailored—and I’ll walk with you through every detail.

​

Accurate Pricing in a Market With No True Comparables

Because the floating home community is so small, pricing requires more than pulling recent sales. It requires long-term context.

I’ve tracked floating home sales for over a decade—dock by dock, slip by slip, year by year. I know:

• how structural float types affect value,

• which docks command higher demand,

• seasonal and market-driven fluctuations,

• historical pricing patterns unique to this micro-market,

• and how to position your home competitively without leaving money on the table.

This knowledge is hard-earned and essential. In a niche this tight, experience isn’t just helpful—it’s critical.

Marketing That Understands the Lifestyle, Not Just the Home

Floating home buyers aren’t just looking for a house—they’re looking for a lifestyle. My marketing highlights what makes your home remarkable: the rhythm of the water, the dock community, views, wildlife, and the stories that make your home more than just a structure.

​

Through professional photography, captivating narratives, community insight, and targeted digital marketing, I make sure your home reaches buyers who truly appreciate what floating home living offers.

​

Guiding Sellers Through a Complex and Distinctive Process

Selling a floating home involves:

• divers and float condition reports

• specialized lenders

• unique underwriting and appraisal requirements

• HOA or co-op considerations

• moorage transfers and documentation

I manage these complexities for you, coordinate all required professionals, and ensure your sale moves smoothly from listing to closing.

Your Floating Home Deserves a Specialist

Floating homes are rare, personal, and deeply meaningful. Selling one requires care, precision, and an agent who knows this market inside and out. My goal is to protect your equity, honor your home’s story, and bring you the right buyers who value what makes your home extraordinary.

If you’re considering selling your floating home, I’m here to guide you with clarity, confidence, and over 15 years of specialized experience.
