My Seattle Houseboat Listing On The Today Show!

My phone has been ringing off the hook today thanks to Today, but it did all start at Active Rain so I wanted to share!

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Want to see this great Seattle houseboat? http://www.cooperjacobs.com/18075

I really do owe this to Active Rain since I would not have ever blogged or gotten out there on the internet without them. This listing has six new showings set for tomorrow as a direct result of the segment and more to come in the next week. Fingers crossed for a great buyer because I love this houseboat!

About Me: 

Seattle real estate has been a big part of my life for well over a decade since I began my career in real estate,but also before that time when I was in the process of purchasing my own first home.  Buying your first home can be quite overwhelming,but I have managed to help many first time home buyers along the way.

Move up Seattle buyers and other types of specialized purchasing is a great passion of mine!  I love Seattle houseboats and you can find me down on the docks of Lake Union and Portage Bay several times a week.   Other aspects of Seattle real estate that I adore include Queen Anne Real Estate,Wallingford Real EstateBallard Real EstateGreen Lake Real EstateLaurelhurst Real EstateMagnolia Real Estate,andSeattle Waterfront Real Estate.

In addition to being a Seattle residential broker and founder of Cooper Jacobs & Seattle Afloat, I am also a member of CBA (Commercial Brokers Association) and head of the Cooper Jacobs Commercial Division in an effort to provide excellent commercial real estate services to the Seattle commercial real estate industry.  With a background in accounting and management, it is my great pleasure to coordinate our Seattle commercial brokers. 

About Cooper Jacobs Real Estate's Seattle Branch:

 My office at Cooper Jacobs Real Estate LLC is located centrally near all my favorite Puget Sound neighborhoods just a few blocks up from Lake Union in Seattle’s Wallingford.  Cooper Jacobs Real Estate is a wonderful place filled with talented Seattle real estate brokers and I count myself extremely lucky that I get to spend so much time with these wonderful people.  We specialize in different Seattle neighborhoods and suburbs in both residential and commercial real estate and are all very passionate and excited about each of our favorite Seattle neighborhoods and industries!

That's wonderful!!!  You should tell us more about how you ended up on the Today show.  Were the show reporters just surfing online and came across a post about the houseboat?

Many years ago I had dinner with some friends I knew in Seattle on a Lake Washington houseboat. Besides the potato pancakes and blintezes which I rememebred best and this was an international group, I loved the lifestyle of a floating home that was totally cool with a great view at sunset. Congratultions on your feature.

Wow Courtney,  The houseboat is cute and you pay almost no property taxes, $500/year is a still... The future buyer of your home will love that aspect of it...  ;>))

Hey!  Thanks you guys!  We have been pretty busy fielding calls and emails.  Given the fact that there was absolutely no mention of me on the program, I was surprised at how many people got me after the show:)  My favorite part was that Barbara fed that question to Al Roker from the list of questions they had for me on the property.

That's awesome, congratulations!  I hope you sell it soon!

Courtney... How cool is that... I go for walks along there around lunch time. Congratulations on the feature, this is pretty over the top!... Glad your phone is ringing.

Posted by René Fabre (First American Title) over 1 year ago

Congrats!  It'll probably get sold in the next few days and possibly for more than the list price!  My husband spent some of his childhood years growing up in a houseboat and it was quite the experience.
