For most of us, a house is our single greatest financial asset And it is also a home, and home is one of the most emotional assets we can possess
The process of buying or selling a home can feel daunting, and it’s frequently cloaked in mystery and uncertainty, especially in a competitive market like the Seattle metro. Mortgage interest rates are unstable, properties are scarce and bidding wars are tense Yet amidst the chaos, it can be a journey of joy in which you dream of your new life or experience financial opportunity Most of the time, the difference between a bad experience and a good one is the team supporting you.
Our team is a select, nimble group of experts focused on our local communities and intentional about slow growth so we can provide the best service to our clients.
We’re on a mission to redefine the duty of care in real estate to mean more than just legal obligation For us, duty of care is a standard of how you treat people, and it starts with honesty. Honesty means educating you about market conditions (so you can make your best decision) and advocating for you like you ’ re a family member Honesty means telling you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear Honesty means doing everything in our power to make your dreams come true.
Honesty means being real And we promise to be real with you

Your Home Valuation
We’ve compiled detailed comparable sales and local market insights to craft a comprehensive analysis to best position your home for an effective sales process.
Dear Barb and Ron,
Pricing a property and strategic positioning are the most important aspects of the marketing process and eventual sale, both upfront and when entrenched in negotiations When determining the correct price/strategy for your beautiful Laurelhurst home, it is imperative to evaluate closely the targeted buyer, consumer trends within your specific neighborhood, and comparative prices of similar homes in the area Current inventory and market conditions in the pinpoint market (Laurelhurst) and broader market are just as crucial to understanding the most appropriate sales price
Additionally, it is paramount to understand the demographics of Laurelhurst buyers (specifically for premium “pockets” within Beach Club boundaries) as well as the general driving factors within the neighborhood With this information, we can focus our marketing efforts towards a specific buyer We have reserved the website wwwHomeinLaurelhurstcom to adhere to the web nature of today’s home buyer For an example, please view one of our current listings at wwwHomeinLaurelhurstcom
The most likely buyer is a family who has long aspired to live in one of Laurelhurst’s coveted locations. This buyer is often already living within the greater NE Seattle core, having purchased their first home five to ten years ago and built meaningful equity, and is now ready to make a move into a long-term “forever home,” much like you once did We also see consistent interest from relocation buyers, particularly from the tech and medical sectors, who are specifically drawn to Laurelhurst for its location, lifestyle, schools and strong sense of community
Your home is truly special, having been lovingly cared for over the past 49+ years as the place where your family grew, gathered and created countless memories That history is felt the moment you step inside; there’s an immediate sense of warmth, character and authenticity that simply can’t be replicated
Set on Latimer, one of Laurelhurst’s most sought-after and private streets, the home has an unassuming, charming exterior that quietly understates just how spacious and distinctive it is inside The main level offers a welcoming living room centered around the oversized “Santa” fireplace, along with a formal dining room that flows seamlessly to a private deck where the water view adds a delightful and unexpected touch. The kitchen is open and functional, ideal for someone who truly enjoys cooking and entertaining, and the flex room just off the entrance offers options for differing buyer needs
Upstairs, the layout is both practical and rare for a home of this era, highlighted by a generously sized primary suite with a walk-in closet - an attribute today’s buyers will immediately appreciate Two additional bedrooms and a separate [beautifully updated!] bathroom complete an upstairs configuration that is ideal for family living
The lower level adds another layer of charm and versatility, featuring a media space, ample storage and custom details thoughtfully built by you over the years, giving the home a sense of personality and craftsmanship buyers will recognize and value
Outside, the private lower-level oasis creates a tranquil setting for summer dining and quiet evenings, while the rooftop deck above the garage offers a fun, elevated space for gatherings and celebrations. The private pathway leading directly down to the Laurelhurst Beach Club is a rare and meaningful benefit, particularly for family buyers, reinforcing how special this location truly is
Pricing a home of this design, quality and location within Laurelhurst is not a simple exercise It involves an understanding of the nuances of buyer preferences, home presentation, timing, proximity, like-kind sales, like-kind architectural/finish-level, lot preferences and micro-community data It also involves being able to place additional value on elements of the home that would not be recognized simply through “data,” specifically why your property exhibits certain qualities in Laurelhurst that other homes, even in comparative neighborhoods and nearby, do not have
Below is a bulleted breakdown of the studies conducted in arriving at a price recommendation for 5125 NE Latimer Place:
All Active/Pending Properties, NE Seattle Core, $2M - $2.5M
2 properties currently available
2 properties currently pending
Average price/SF listed is $760
Average price/SF pending is $779
Average DOM for active is 158
All Sold Properties, Past 6 Months, NE Seattle Core, $2M - $25M
20 sales averaging $711/SF
Average DOM is 43
All Sold Properties, Past 6 Months, Laurelhurst Only, $2M - $25M
5 sales averaging $771/SF
Average DOM is 15
Best Comparable Property: 5115 NE Latimer Pl
Price: $2,235,000 (July 2025)
4 bed/3.25 bath/2,570 SF/2 car garage
General Notes/Algorithm Metrics:
Tax Valuation: $2,275,700
Zestimate: $2,142,800
Redfin: $1,976,859
Based on all this information, as well as other data not included in this analysis, we feel the home is firmly planted above $2,100,000 as a low-end price scenario, which likely only would occur if market conditions shifted downward, interest rates rose, policy and economic issues arose, more inventory, etc In reviewing the more specific elements, we are very confident in a price above that figure Once we establish our expected range, we look back at factors such as the community’s typical support of such price, the finishes and floor plan of the home as compared to the recent Laurelhurst sales above $2,000,000 With those factors, we can then establish a more accurate price opinion
Equally important to our pricing analysis based on closed/pending sales is our ability to put ourselves in the shoes of a potential buyer There are currently only two active homes in Laurelhurst between $2M - $25M While we believe strongly in your home, we will pay close attention to buyers’ appetite in early 2026 to see if they remain willing to be patient and wait for the right home if either pricing or quality of the home are misaligned
Based on what we have outlined in this report, it is our overall opinion that the market value of your home is between $2,125,000 - $2,165,000 If we were listing the property today, we would recommend pricing just under $2,200,000 ($2,195,000) We would also recommend setting an offer review date, given how special and unique your home is The highest we would recommend would be $2,275,000 – however we do not advise listing at this price as we enter a high-risk zone once we approach the $2,300,000 threshold given the external market conditions and items we outlined in this presentation
We appreciate the opportunity to be part of this important chapter for you and your family We hope we have the chance to create strong synergy with you and achieve a successful sale for your family!
Best Regards,
Tory Frol Brad Cahill Broker Partner & Founder

Real Clients, Real Stories
“My wife and I have had 3 transactions with Brad, Tory and their team over the years Their market knowledge, integrity and communication style sets them apart from others Acting as true real estate consultants, they have always been balanced in their approach and provide context to decisions outlining both advantages and implications to any strategy While the value of real estate brokers is often marginalized, it’s critical having the best when transacting multi-million dollar properties As with any profession, value can vary significantly and when it comes to real estate representation, we trust no other than Brad and the Real Residential team”
Seattle Seller
“From the first moment I talked with Tory and Brad, I knew that they understood our unique home and our personal situation and needs, and that they would work with us in a flexible way Tory, Brad and Ava were very helpful and encouraging as we got the home ready to sell, and were very thoughtful and thorough in our discussions around pricing and marketing
What really stood out to me was their help in negotiating with the buyers I did not realize how much value they could bring to that part of the process I talked with other brokers, but I liked their professional and low-key approach I highly recommend them”
Seattle Seller
“When seeking a real estate broker, I think three things separate the best from the average:
1 Significant, hands on experience in the area and price range for your home
2 Elite negotiation and strategic sales skills
3 An uncanny eye for real estate, meaning someone who actually knows what buyers will like and don't like
I think the Real Residential team checks all of these boxes I truly believe hiring them to manage our sale was a game-changing financial decision for our family We aligned on a sales strategy that was months in the making, and was crafted to meet exactly what we needed, which was to maximize the return on our most valuable asset Their unique talent and eye for home presentation made all of the difference in our sale All of these factors combined created a wonderful real estate experience for us that exceeded all of our expectations As a bonus, Brad and Tory are just awesome people Going through the real estate grind is a hard and long process, and being able to spend it with people who genuinely care and are wonderful to be around makes it much more pleasant and manageable We will be lifelong clients!”
Seattle Seller
“Working with Brad and Tory was a very positive experience When we first met it was clear from the start that they were a great fit for us, and we felt confident with their knowledge and experience with the local market Our home was very special to us, and the effort and care they took, as well as the vendors they recommended to us, helped our listing to be presented beautifully The sale of our home was seamless They are very processoriented, which took so much weight off of our shoulders, as we didn’t feel the need to “ manage ” them, they had it covered! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to our family and friends, or anyone looking for truly exceptional agents“
Seattle Seller
“Selling a home can be a daunting endeavor, but working with Tory, Brad, and their exceptional team made the process seamless and worry-free. We started the process almost a year before we listed our house, and from the outset, the team exhibited unparalleled professionalism, guiding us through each stage of the sale with expert advice and clear communication Their deep knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and ability to handle all aspects of the sale with minimal involvement on our part were truly impressive
What sets them apart is their exceptional ability to anticipate challenges and proactively address them so those issues never arise The team handled everything perfectly, whether it was preparing the home for showings, managing negotiations, or coordinating closing details We highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a smooth, successful real estate experience”
