"Modern" architecture and design, for sale, around the greater Seattle area.
I've almost cleared my calendar with my five recent sales in the last month!
Allow me to list or find your property, that perfect modern house to buy, with a mortgage payment that may be LOWER than rent these days! I was doing and promoting the word "modern" and "modernist" in the late 90's when hardly anybody was using that word, now it's so much more commonly used.This site online now for over 10 years, listing mid-century retro architecture to newer modernist architecture and great design, matching up buyers, sellers, landlords, owners, with enthusiasts of modern architecture and cutting edge modern design. This site is by an experienced, currently licensed and practicing real estate broker who can knows creative lenders who can help self employed and other buyers find loans. I was previously a licensed builder and worked in several AIA Registered architectural offices for a half dozen years doing working drawings. I am an architecturally experienced designer/enthusiast of restoration and preservation of the spirit and essence of the golden age of midcentury modernism and also the spirit and essence of LeCorbusier, Mies van der Rohe and others who inspired the local architects here in the midcentury and beyond. The modernist era will be recorded in history as a significant period in the human social development and evolution and that recognition is happening now as we speak.
