About Charlie Allen
My Client-First Philosophy
There are many skills that go into being an excellent realtor - integrity, market knowledge, sales savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network.
That said, in my experience as a Seattle real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is all about putting my clients desires first. This means being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to a variety of your needs.
This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.
I am a lifelong Seattle resident with deep roots in Magnolia and Queen Anne. I attended Queen Anne High School and the University of Washington. After growing up on Queen Anne my wife Jennifer and I have lived in the Magnolia neighborhood since our marriage in 1985. Our three boys all attended local Magnolia schools and are active in youth activities. I have a tremendous amount of real life experience in the Magnolia and Queen Anne communities.
Understanding the importance of selling or purchasing a home, I am committed to making the process very clear and stress free. I am sensitive to the fact that most clients will only go through this process a few times in their lives and they need someone to help them get through the process. I want it to be as pleasant an experience as possible, so that when it is done you know that you have had an agent that got the best for you, while caring about you along the way. My goal is to provide a smooth buying or selling experience.
With 25 years of sales, marketing and advertising background in the Seattle area, I am committed to marketing your house for the best selling price with the greatest net return. I believe that creatively positioning your home provides the best chance of the highest dollar sale.
I have been committed to work with youth on Magnolia and Queen Anne since 1982. My passion is coaching Magnolia youth soccer and Magnolia Little League baseball and I have been active in Bethany Presbyterian Church on Queen Anne.
So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the Seattle areas, please contact me.
