Prepared exclusively for John Stowell
10829 Olalla Valley Rd SE · Olalla, WA 98359
John — when we spoke, you told me the upkeep of the place was beginning to outweigh the joy of it, and that you'd welcome a clear-eyed look at what your home is actually worth today. You aren't committing to anything by reading this. Consider it the beginning of a quiet, unhurried conversation about your options.
We don't just list it, we launch it!
A Plan Built Around You
01
I'll walk the property with you and pair that with current Kitsap market data to give you a real number — not a flattering guess. We'll talk about what your home would likely bring in today's market and what it might bring in six or twelve months, so you can decide on your own timeline.
02
You've owned this home since 1998. We'll sit down with the numbers — what you'd net after a sale, what carrying it for another year costs you — so the financial picture is clear before any decision is made.
03
You mentioned possibly downsizing or moving toward a senior living community, and wanting to stay close to your doctors, transit, and the places you know. We'll look at whether a move would actually simplify your life — or whether staying put, thoughtfully, is the better answer.
04
You promised Mr. Hovsepian you'd call him first, and I respect that. This consultation carries no obligation to list with me or with anyone. The only goal is that you leave it knowing your options.
The Market Around You
These are real, current listings and recent sales in your part of Kitsap County — the clearest signal of what buyers are paying for homes like yours today. We'll go deeper at our consultation.

Your Questions, Answered
Not at all. You told me you want to understand your options before planning anything. This consultation is exactly that — a conversation. There is no listing agreement, no commitment, and no pressure. You keep the decision entirely in your own hands.
This is one of your wisest concerns. Before we talk about a sale, we'll look at what's actually available in the communities you're considering — senior living options near your doctors and transit, and simpler homes that would genuinely reduce your upkeep. If a move doesn't clearly improve your day-to-day, I'll be the first to say so.
I respect that promise completely, and I'd never ask you to break it. Think of our meeting as research that makes you a better-informed owner — whatever you choose to do with it, and whoever you choose to work with. Your relationship with Mr. Hovsepian stays yours to manage.
Your time and peace of mind are the whole point here. If we do move forward, I handle the logistics — staging, showings, the paperwork, the deadlines — so you aren't carrying the weight of it. If staying put is the better answer, we'll figure out together how to make the home easier to live in.
That's the first thing we'll establish, on paper and in person. I'll walk the property with you, account for the updates you've made — the refreshed bathroom, new vanity and tile, the new refrigerator, the paint and blinds — and set it against the recent sales you see above. You'll have a real number, not a guess.
When We Sit Down
I'll see the updates you've made and listen to what you love and what's become a burden.
A clear valuation grounded in the comparable sales above and the condition of your property today.
What a sale would net you, and what staying put is costing — laid out plainly.
Senior living and downsizing options near your doctors, transit, and the amenities you rely on.
If and when a move makes sense — never rushed, always your decision.
A Word From Me
It's a pleasure to finally sit down with you.
I've spent my career helping homeowners in Kitsap County make thoughtful, unhurried decisions about their homes. Some of my favorite clients have been people exactly in your position — weighing whether to stay or to go, and wanting someone honest to help them think it through.
My promise to you is simple: real numbers, clear options, and never any pressure. If selling makes sense, we'll do it well. If it doesn't, I'll tell you that too — and we'll find the better answer together.
Let's Find a Time
John — choose any time that suits you below. I'll come to you, and we'll take as long as you need. No rush, no obligation.
