How We Use AI to Help Sellers in Lake Tapps and Western Washington

by Don & Susie Karstedt

Things are moving fast in real estate—and technology is part of that shift. One of the tools that’s really changed how Susie and I work with our clients is Artificial Intelligence (AI). We’ve been using it behind the scenes to help people sell smarter, faster, and with less guesswork.

If you're thinking about selling in Lake Tapps or anywhere in Western Washington, here’s a look at how we use AI to support you every step of the way.


What We Mean When We Say “AI”

AI isn’t a robot or something out of a sci-fi movie. It’s software that helps us analyze data, spot patterns, and make better decisions. In real estate, that means everything from smart pricing to sharper marketing to keeping buyers engaged in real time.

For sellers, it means fewer surprises and more confidence.


We Price Smarter—Not Just Higher

Pricing is always a big question. Go too high, and the listing sits. Go too low, and you leave money on the table.

We use AI tools to pull real-time data from Lake Tapps and surrounding areas—recent sales, demand trends, home features, and local market conditions. Instead of guessing or going with a broad average, we use this data to price your home with precision.


Marketing That Actually Reaches Buyers

Getting eyes on your home is one thing. Getting the right eyes is another.

AI helps us:

  • Target ads to serious buyers already searching in Western Washington

  • Create property descriptions that resonate with what buyers are actually looking for

  • Adjust listings and photos based on what’s performing best online

It also helps us figure out what’s working and what’s not—so we can make smart tweaks while your home is listed.


Always-On Communication (Without Burning You Out)

We know how busy life gets. That’s why we use AI-powered tools to keep things moving—without adding stress.

  • Automated showing requests

  • Quick answers to buyer questions, even outside business hours

  • Real-time updates on interest and activity

This keeps everyone in the loop and lets us respond faster—without you having to chase anything down.


Seeing What’s Coming—Not Just What’s Happening

One of the best parts about using AI is how it can help predict what’s next. We’re able to track local trends, buyer behavior, and seasonal shifts so we can give you honest advice on:

  • When to list

  • What buyers are prioritizing right now

  • Where pricing is likely heading in Lake Tapps and nearby areas

This kind of insight helps us make better timing decisions, especially in a market that’s always moving.


Helping You Sell with Confidence

We’re not handing everything over to robots—don’t worry. What we’re doing is combining smart tech with local experience and personal service. That way, you get the best of both worlds.

When you list with us, you’re not just getting a sign in the yard. You’re getting a data-backed plan that’s built around your goals and your timeline.


Thinking About Selling? Let’s Talk.

If you’re even considering selling in Lake Tapps or anywhere around Western Washington, we’d love to chat. We can walk you through what your home is worth right now, how we’d market it, and whether the timing makes sense for you.
