Dan & Briannon’s new townhouse boasts amazing views of Lake Union & downtown Seattle from the master bedroom & roof top deck.
Dan Mendoza and Briannon Schaeffer are an unmarried couple who were looking to purchase their first home together. They were referred to me by CoBuy–an exciting new company with an online platform that makes it easier to buy a home with one or more other people–be it friends, family members, or both.
