Kent was officially incorporated on May 28, 1890 with a population of 793, the second city incorporated in King County after Seattle. It was once the "Lettuce Capital of the World". Kent was formerly known as Titusville, as evidenced by a Titusville Station sign on Gowe St. The land on which Kent sits is actually some of the most fertile farmland in the entire world[citation needed], all completely paved over and built on with one-story sprawling industrial buildings with miles and miles of roads between them. Up until the 1960s and 70s, Kent was known for its beautiful pastures and green grass no matter what time of year.

“The agent you connected to us was very helpful and was very good at staying in touch with us. He sent us all kinds of "stuff" about the location to which we might have been transferred.

Edward A.

Home Buying in Kent WA


1. Write out a list of activities your family normally likes to do. You can then look for homes that have the right kind of space for your family. The first couple of homes we bought, we just went looking and decided on what we thought was the prettiest. However, we really didn’t think about how we lived and consequently neither of these houses were comfortable for us. A relocation expert specializing in relocating to Kent WA, can help you analyze what type of home in Kent WA would suit your family.


2. Decide what your monthly housing budget will be once you move to Kent WA. Qualify and get approved for a mortgage before you even arrive. If possible, schedule a house hunting trip about 6-8 weeks before you will be transferred. That way you can move right into your home when you relocate to Kent WA without having to stay in a Hotel. When we moved we actually parked the moving van at our new home, spent 2 hours closing the loan and then moved right in!


3. Decide which features in a home you have to have, and which would be nice to have. Focus on homes that meet your “have-to” requirements and then use “would be nice” features to determine which home to buy. For example: I had to have four bedrooms but I didn’t have to have a formal dining room as long as the house had a large breakfast room. There are many homes in Kent WA, with a great variety of price and amenities. Request a Free “Relocation to Kent WA” relocation package (click on link above) from one of our expert Kent WA Real Estate agents and you will be on your way to finding out how much home your budget can buy.


4. How important are schools? You may want to contact some schools in Kent WA and surrounding areas and talk to principles. You will find out much more about schools this way. National test scores are not always an accurate indication of how appropriate the school will be for your child/children. If you have requested a FREE “Relocation to Kent WA” real estate information package, the Kent WA Realtor who is chosen to provide that Kent WA Relocation information can also give you valuable advice about which schools are the best in the Kent WA area. Our Realtor told us about one school district whose whole curriculum is built around boosting test scores, but their standard of education and extra-curricular activities were lacking. But the results looked good!


5. How important is ease of upkeep? New homes in Kent WA are normally built with energy efficient features and low maintenance exteriors. Older homes in Kent WA may make up in charm what they lack in ease of upkeep. My husband is extremely busy and we like to spend what little time we have on our hobbies. So we chose to buy a low maintenance home. My brother, on the other hand, just bought a house built in 1910 and is loving renovating his new home! The wonderful thing about America is that it can accommodate all tastes!

Once you have found a home in Kent WA and have started the whole mortgage approval process, there are things you need to do at your current location. First, decide which furniture you will take to your new home in Kent WA. Start inventorying your current possessions, dividing them into items to take and items to dispose of. Solicit estimates from moving companies. Make sure that you put all important documents in secure file to travel with you. Do not pack any documentation that might be needed to complete your loan application! Someone I knew recently had to spend a whole day at a storage facility going through every one of her packing boxes to find crucial documentation for her mortgage. Start making a list of all medical, dental, school records to transfer. You will need to find new medical facilities once you move to Kent WA.


Approximately 6 weeks before your scheduled relocation to Kent WA, start cleaning out closets and arranging yard sales. You may want to pick up change of address cards from the Post Office. Keep the address cards handy and so that you can fill them in when you think of new names. It may be useful to draw a floor plan of your new home so that you can start planning where you want your furniture to be placed once the moving van arrives. Once you are about 4 weeks away from moving to your new home in Kent WA, START PACKING! If you are going to have movers pack your belongings, you should start cleaning out closets and drawers. You are not going to want to unpack junk, old clothes and useless items into your brand new home! If you are not going to be moving straight into your new home in Kent WA, make hotel reservations close by to where your home is located. Clean furniture and drapes – you don’t want to hang dirty curtains in your new Kent WA home! Start using up all your groceries.


A couple of weeks before you move to Kent WA your BuyersUSA Relocation Kent WA real estate agent should be calling you soon to check on Home Owners insurance for your new home and giving you last minute instructions for making your relocation to Kent WA as smooth as possible.

Real Estate Lenders in Kent WA


For most people, finding the right home in Kent WA is just the first step. Finding the right financing to buy a home is essential to make the home purchase occur! A home buyer has a choice of local mortgage lenders and national lenders advertising on the Web. Many home buyers find that using local Kent WA lenders (with rates very comparable to online mortgage brokers) help ease some of the stress of moving. Home buyers have more personal service, and the mortgage companies have a better relationship with appraisers and other real estate professionals. Ask about adjustable rate loans if you are guaranteed to be relocated out of Kent WA within the next 5 years. I had a friend who found a 40 year adjustable with 5 year fixed rate. He knew that he had guaranteed relocation buy-out at the end of his assignment so he wasn’t worried about building equity. He ended up paying less than half in a mortgage payment than he would have paid in rent! Short on cash? There are many mortgage lenders in Kent WA that now offer 100% financing – no down payment certainly helps keep moving expenses down!

Getting a Great Home Deal in Kent WA


Home buyers involved in a relocation to Kent WA often want both a great deal and to find the perfect new home. Sometimes it is not practical. The most important factor for most home buyers moving their families from out of town is to find a home that has all the features they need, in a good Kent WA real estate neighborhood and to not pay more than fair market value for the home. However, when finding a good deal is more important that finding the most suitable home, home buyers need to make arrangements for temporary accommodation. Because finding a great deal AND a home suitable for your family in a short amount of time is nearly impossible. I’ve seen many families over the years live in uncomfortable temporary housing because of the desire to get a steal. Low-ball offers tend to sour negotiation proceedings and rarely end in the buyer getting a good deal. However, once you have found a suitable home for your family, you should obviously try to get the best possible deal in that situation.

Your first step is to request a FREE “Relocation to Kent WA” relocation package (click on link above). Then, a top Kent WA Real Estate agent will contact you and send you information on homes in Kent WA. Your BuyersUSA Relocation Kent WA real estate agent should be able to research the motivation of the seller, give you information about the sales prices of other homes in Kent WA. Then you can make a fair offer towards the low end of what you know the seller would be able to take. Removing contingencies such as financing (cash offer) or selling your current home may allow the seller to be more open to lower offers.


A Kent WA Relocation can be as easy or as difficult as you want. To make your relocation to Kent WA as smooth as possible, request the Free “Relocation to Kent WA” real estate information package today! It’s the first step to finding all the houses for Sale in Kent WA, AND an agent experienced real estate!
