As real estate agents, it is always the goal to help buyers see the potential in a home or property when they are in the market to buy. Adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or a Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (DADU) is an up-and-coming way that not only maximizes the buyer’s investment but also provides many other benefits.

In this episode of Pocket Hours, Jennifer Nelson is talking to Nathan Bennett, owner of Plumb ADU. He shares the whole process, start to finish, of how he walks clients through building an ADU or DADU on their property. With his company, he has fine-tuned the whole process, so you get expert advice through the 3 phases of building a unit, along with the personal touch needed for each individual site.

Nathan and Jennifer talk about what realtors need to know about ADUs and DADUs, including how legislation has changed in the state of Washington. Nathan also explains some of the many benefits of ADUs and DADUs, including:

• A possible home office (tax write-off)
• Maximizing a buyer/homeowner’s investment
• Creating the option of aging in place
• Generating a second income stream (long- or short-term rental)
• Helping potential buyers see what's possible
