BR YA N LOV E L E S S & A S S O CI AT E S Luxury Report - 2022-
L i v e Yo u r Luxury Lifestyle
Greetings of the Season! Here we are, already embarking on 2022! Life has been an unique roller coaster of events – at the current time the Omicron variant is still extremely active, but vaccinations are becoming more widespread, and amazingly the local Puget Sound economy continues on at a robust pace in most industries – especially residential real estate in general and the Lake Washington waterfront market in particular! Included in this magazine issue is my 2021 North Lake Washington waterfront recap – this report includes data on sold properties in 2021 for the entire north-end of the Lake. Per the map on the opposite page, this includes waterfront home sales from Yarrow Bay in the south end of Kirkland north up the eastside of the Lake through Kenmore and Lake Forest Park and then south down the West side of the Lake to the UW campus. I hope you find this information both interesting and helpful! Currently in King County, available single family listing count has plummeted 61% from this time a year ago, and average prices for closed sales increased nearly 18% in 2021! For waterfront properties in King County, available listings are down 64% from this time one year ago. On North Lake Washington in 2021 there were 37 total waterfront sales averaging $4,360,000 – an increase from 2020 of over $470,000 per sale! The lack of available Lake Washington waterfront listings remains the biggest challenge (as of this publication there was ONE active single-family waterfront home listed on North Lake Washington). Given the low interest rates, robust local economy and strong demand, coupled with virtually no available inventory, there likely has never been a better time to sell your North Lake Washington waterfront. Having closed 61 North Lake Washington waterfront sales for Buyers and Sellers over the past 5 years (more than 5 times any other broker per NWMLS stats from a Trendgraphix Top Producer report), and personally residing on the Lake in the Holmes Point area of Kirkland, I am uniquely positioned to get you the highest possible price for your waterfront. I currently have a number of qualified Buyers looking for North Lake Washington waterfront homes – please feel free to contact me for a no-obligation market evaluation to find out just how much your lakefront asset has become worth! As always there are a number of people struggling in our community (and especially during the pandemic of the past few years and the on-going homeless crisis). This year I am pledging to donate ONE THOUSAND POUNDS of food to the local foodbank of the Seller’s choice for each waterfront listing I sell in 2022. Let’s help alleviate hunger in our community together this year! Finally, I want to wish you all my best in 2022 – it has been a challenging past few years for the entire community, and it is my sincere hope that better days for all of us are on the horizon!

Raising the Bar Keep Cool If there’s anything we’ve found solace in this last year, it’s reorganizing our most highly trafficked space—our kitchens. While great for casual entertaining, open flow, and general ease of living, the Achilles’ heel to the open floor plan is storage and organization. In the kitchen, a beverage refrigerator frees up valuable space in the refrigerator leaving more room for food storage. The best part about beverage bars? They can be scaled to fit almost any space! While size certainly impacts what you can include in your beverage bar, it won’t stop you from having an amazing wine bar or coffee station. Whether you love to entertain, or are just trying to manage a busy household, beverage centers are a stylish, convenient place to keep your favorite refreshments perfectly chilled and ready to serve.
Grand Opening French-Door Wall Ovens allow you to cook like a professional in your own home kitchen. This oven’s french door design offers an ergonomic experience, streamlining the cooking process. The basic design means that you no longer have to put yourself in an uncomfortable position when lifting hefty dishes out of the oven. A number of brands also allow for one handed opening, and some even include Smart features like Wi-Fi connectivity and App assistance for hands off cooking. Add simplicity to your kitchen by including a French Door wall oven that exudes professional style.
Hidden In Plain Sight As one of the most frequently used rooms in a house, the flow of a kitchen is very important to the overall feel of the home. Implementing hidden appliances can be a great way to establish a better optical line, and makes the room feel significantly more organized and elegant. For example, the dishwasher and refrigerator are two items with noticeable presence in the kitchen – and frequently draw people’s gaze when they enter the room, distracting from all the other attractive features of the space. Hiding these objects behind matched cabinet fronts can open up sight-lines and show off the design of a kitchen. Hidden appliances are an effective way to make your kitchen experience seamless and aesthetically appealing at the same time.

HOME OFFICE IDEAS THAT WILL INSPIRE PRODUCTIVITY In the last couple of years, home offices have become an essential component of every home. A little imagination can go a long way in a home office makeover renovation, whether your office is in need of a fresh pop of color, extra storage, or a generally more efficient work-friendly space. Our recommendations will help inspire you to design a space that aligns with your personal style to increase your motivation and productivity.
ORGANIZATION - Wall space is prime
real estate for your organizational and storage needs. It is nearly impossible to be productive when your desk is cluttered with to-do lists, schedules, and miscellaneous office supplies, so free up some space by going vertical. Installing versatile shelves and cubbies is an efficient way to stay organized. In addition, accessories, such as old-school desktop paper holders, sorters, and pen holders can give your desk a sleek visually appealing look. A well-organized desk isn’t only for aesthetic pleasure – it’s also about functionality. It’s bothersome when your desk is a mess, so consider propping tall organizers on your desk or utilizing wall space.
POP OF COLOR Add a pop of color in your home office to brighten your mood & inspire creativity.
FREE STANDING DESK
Some may want a nice view, while others would rather not have any distractions. Although a great view is tempting, most designers would say to place the desk in the center of the room facing the room entrance.
DESIGN -
Sharp angles and bright colors can help
create a striking and cheerful space. Add bold rugs, statement chairs, or vibrant art pieces to set the tone. Red and yellow are known to inspire creativity, warmth, and energy, whereas blues and greens can be used to create a natural, fresh, and peaceful atmosphere. Simple natural pops of color can include fresh flowers and plants which are aesthetically pleasing and have been found to have an energizing effect on people.
LIGHTS -
Whether you prefer a minimalist work-
space, cozy library-style, or modern contemporary, natural and illuminating features are a perfect way to make your home office feel cleaner and more luxurious. Multi-directional lighting has become a critical element to home offices with the uprising of virtual meetings. Ring lights are a popular option, designed to evenly distribute light to optimize the quality of your Zoom call. Overhead recessed lighting is another option to minimize unflattering shadows, but avoid using bright LED lights because they can wash you out.

“Process Expertise” “We had chosen a realtor but it became clear they were not understanding our property the way we needed them too. We got a flyer from Bryan Loveless on a local property he was listing. I gave him a call and from the first conversation I knew he would be a great agent for us. He met with us and shared our same excitement - he noticed all the details of our home. He and his team worked so smoothly together and we were delighted with the marketing materials, how the home was staged and all the features he showcased. He sold the place in a matter of days in the middle of a Pandemic for asking price! They were so incredibly responsive and gave us sound advice along the way. I would highly recommend Bryan and his team!”
REV “Responsiveness”
“We cannot speak highly enough of our recent experience working with Bryan Loveless and his team. Bryan helped us with the purchasing of our home in October. In the past, we worked with other realtors, but this was by far the best experience we’ve had. Bryan is always on time, and he arrives prepared with information about the property he is showing. He really does his homework. Throughout the process, we never felt any pressure. The entire process was very educational for us and rather fun. Once we put the offer in, Bryan and his team remained in constant communication with us to ensure all of our concerns were addressed. We really felt confident in our investment because of having the constant support of an experienced, knowledgeable and honest real estate team through the process. Even after we got the keys to our new home, Bryan’s customer support continued to ensure any emerging issues were resolved. They really work hard to provide a type of a customer service that keeps their clients for life. This team is very good at what they do and their sales statistic proves it. I highly recommend Bryan and his team. Thank you so much to Bryan and his team. We really appreciate everything they have done for us.”
“Negotiation Skills” Reviews found on Zillow, Google & Yelp
“My husband and I were looking for a home on Lake Washington. By searching listings, I found a older home that needed work in an excellent location north of Denny Park. We contacted the agent for the seller and it turned out to be Bryan Loveless. We represented ourselves on the purchase and although Bryan was representing the sellers he was very knowledgeable and made sure we were aware of the challenges related to an older fixer upper. We were so pleased with his approach that we listed our home on Lake Sammamish with him which he subsequently sold and have recommended Bryan to many of our friends and family. “
“Local Knowledge” “There is NOBODY anywhere in the greater Seattle area (and quite possibly anywhere in the world) that can match the combination of Bryan’s market insights, contacts, professionalism, creativity, and service excellence. We gave Bryan a near impossible assignment to find us a home on one specific street that had no homes listed for sale. He found us a great home, convinced the owner to sell, negotiated a deal for us, and guided us through the entire process in an extremely professional and VERY service oriented manner.”
VIEW “If you are looking for a top-notch, experienced and professional real estate agent, we highly suggest you add Bryan to the top of your list! We had the fortunate luck of making contact with Bryan last year when we were inquiring about a home he was selling. After making contact with him we were greatly impressed with his client first and focused approach. His in-depth extensive knowledge of real-estate and sage advice has been a key to our success on our property quests. Always client first, he’s there to provide all the guidance and information needed while letting you - the customer - make the final decision. We highly value all that Bryan has to offer including the help of his fantastic extended staff who goes the extra mile to address all inquiries in a timely manner. Simply said, they are absolutely top-notch!”
“Bryan is a master at negotiating and putting together offers. He helped us secure our dream home by writing an offer on a house that was already pending with another buyer. He worked closely with the seller’s agent & wrote an offer that got us in first position in less than 24 hours. We closed on the house 30 days later and give credit to Bryan for making it happen for us!”
“Bryan and his team are unmatched and unchallenged in ability, knowledge, professionalism, responsiveness and reasonability. There is no better Realtor, period!”
