Buy a Home at Lake Chelan the Criterion Way! | Criterion Properties

Buying

People have many reasons for deciding to live or buy property in the Lake Chelan Valley. From a desire for a sunny vacation spot, needing a larger or smaller home, a spot to retire to or maybe just a desire for a new lifestyle. At Criterion Properties we are uniquely experienced to be able to help those relocating from other areas to the Chelan Valley.

But, we’re not the typical local real estate company. Start with our office. Instead of being a doorway on the main street in town, our resource center is tucked behind an orchard just steps from Lake Chelan. For you, that means that our office has a relaxed, casual atmosphere where you are not stuck in a cubicle in a noisy office. It is a place where you can think clearly without distraction or sit by Lake Chelan and take it all in.

We’re also going to learn as much about what you are looking for as we possibly can. We don’t want to waste your time, or ours. The time we spend on learning what you want will save hours or days of all of our time and help us present thorough information and worthwhile property visits.

Why are we so different? It’s because we are in the business of helping our clients attain their desires. Whether they are buying or selling, we are focused on making the experience as efficient and painless as possible. We work harder than you will have ever experienced to get you the best property at the best price available. You’ll also find we will have fun doing it.

We spend our money on things that make our clients successful. We work hard to provide a thorough, straightforward experience whether on the internet or in person. We don’t have an office full of agents waiting for uninformed passersby to stumble in the door. However, we are happy to put in the effort to let you see and understand all your options. We’ll just spend a little time talking with you up front to make the experience fruitful.

We work hard for our clients and they trust us. We communicate, clearly, often and without trying to convince you to buy something that isn’t quite right. We can articulate the tradeoffs with building versus buying an existing home because we’ve actually done it both ways, several times!

We will never participate in a real estate transactions as a dual agent. When we are working for a client, that’s the only person we’re working for! Dual agency as has inherent conflicts of interest. If among the properties you are interested in, you want us to show you a home we have listed for sale we will graciously do just that. But if you decide you want to make an offer on a property we have listed, we will provide (and we will not accept a fee for the referral) you with a list of other agents to help you with the transaction as your agent. You can be assured we will only be acting in your best interest when your work with us.

If you’re just kicking around whether to buy, by all means look in the windows when you’re downtown! Search the local MLS online as well! You can get the most thorough searches available right here on this web site without anyone calling or bothering you. You don’t have to register to search the Chelan Valley from our web site. We know that folks on the internet want their anonymity.

But, if you’re serious and want motivated, experienced and trustworthy help finding your home or property, you have to take the first step. It is easy: just call us at 509-630-6769, or make an appointment right now. The choice is yours, but nothing will happen unless you take the first step.
