Prepared Exclusively for Adeodatus Tolman
13621 8th Ave S, Burien, WA 98168
Adeodatus, it was a pleasure speaking with you. As you mentioned, you're not quite ready to sell just yet — but when the moment feels right, you said you'd like to work with me. This page is here to continue that conversation, whenever you're ready to explore your next chapter.

I recorded this short message for homeowners weighing the same question you are — whether now is the right moment. Have a look when you have a quiet minute.
Your Market Analysis
Adeodatus, when we spoke I shared my read of the Boulevard Park and Highline corridor. Single-family ramblers along 8th Ave S continue to draw steady, motivated buyer interest — purchasers who want functional space and a generous lot without paying Seattle-core premiums.
Recent closed sales nearby confirm that demand is real and consistent. Your home's 1,450 square feet, two full baths, and 10,454 sq ft lot give it a meaningful size and lifestyle advantage over much of what has been trading in the neighborhood.
Because you're cashing out on your own timeline rather than racing a deadline, we have room to be deliberate — to watch the comparable sales, time the launch thoughtfully, and position your home for the strongest result when you're ready.
A Plan Built Around Your Next Chapter
Adeodatus, here's how I'd help you move toward cashing out — whenever the timing feels right to you.
01
You're not under pressure to sell — and that's a strength. We can monitor the market together and choose your launch window deliberately, so you cash out at a moment that serves you, not a deadline.
02
Nothing has to happen today. A listing appointment simply gives us a quiet, no-obligation conversation to walk through preparation, pricing strategy, and timing — so the path is clear whenever you decide the moment is right.
03
When that time comes, you said you'd like to work with me. I'll have your Strategic Selling Plan prepared in advance, so when you give the word we can move with confidence and without scrambling.
Your Questions, Answered
Adeodatus, these are the questions I'd expect you to be asking right now. Here's how I'd answer each one.
Not at all, and that's exactly the right instinct. A listing appointment isn't a commitment to list; it's a conversation. We'd review where the market stands today, what preparation would look like, and how timing could work in your favor — so that when the moment does feel right, you're already prepared and there's nothing to scramble for. No pressure, no obligation.
Pricing is the one decision that shapes everything else, so I approach it carefully. I'd walk you through the verified recent sales near your home, the active competition, and how your 1,450 sq ft, two-bath layout and generous 10,454 sq ft lot compare. Together we'd land on a strategy that protects your equity while drawing the right buyers — not a number pulled from thin air.
Less than you might think. My plan includes complimentary cleaning and professional staging, epic photography with aerial when suitable, and a lifestyle video — so the heavy lifting is handled for you. At our appointment we'd talk through exactly what, if anything, makes sense to address before launch, tailored to your home and your timeline.
That's a fair concern, and it's precisely why we don't have to rush. Because you're cashing out on your own schedule, we can watch the comparable sales together and time your launch deliberately. If conditions change, we adjust the plan — that flexibility is the advantage of moving thoughtfully rather than reactively.

View on Zillow →An Option to Consider
Adeodatus, because you're not rushing, we have a rare advantage — the room to explore a First Look approach before committing to a full launch. It's an optional, low-pressure way for the two of us to talk through preparation, timing, and marketing strategy together, well ahead of any public listing.
We'd use that time to shape your Strategic Selling Plan around your home and your goals — so when the moment feels right, you're stepping into something already considered, not starting from scratch. Eligibility and exact timing are things we'd review together at our appointment; I won't promise either today.
