I had an amazing 2 days of Open House traffic!!! Such "oooohs" and "ahhhhhs." I LOVE this house. I will really miss it. Selling it and going through the process really helps me to identify with my clients. Great experience for any agent.

A PRETTY GOOD READ (I've been told)

Want to know more about what is is I do, what I stand for and why? Pick up a copy of the latest issue of our REALTOR Magazine. I had the privalege of being the profile subject of this issue and I must say...even I was impressed with the well written article and the awesome photos.

Thanks Laura Christian for your journalistic professionalism and many thanks to Brian with Amore Studios for two fabulous days of photo shoots and fun. BTW...you MUST visit his website cuz he is one of the best and most creative photographers I've ever worked with. Just click on his like above.

If you don't know where to get a copy of the magazine, just contact me and I'll send one to you or you can pick one up at our Windermere Office at 21st and Pearl in Tacoma.

WINDERMERE GONE "WOW!"

OK....so....so many changes in the last few months have occurred at Windermere Professional Partners. I have always said that our office is set apart from the rest because of the fact that it is so well put together. We have such an eclectic group of experienced agents mixed with a crew of bright new talent, led by four amazing leaders. Equally important to this mix is the fact that our office staff is absolutely "Top Notch!" There is NO excuse for any agent in our office to not be up to date on the Market Trends, latest form changes, legislature campaigns in Olympia, and community service projects. WOW!! Talk about blowing your own horn:-) Can't help it though...If your house has our sign hanging in front of it, It means ALL of these things, not to mention that your agent abides by the Windermere Standards of Practice AND the NAR Code of Ethics!!!

Now...Things have just gotten better! We are in the process of implementing new technology that will make your home search or sale much smoother and further reaching. Just call me and I 'll explain to you what I and Windermere Pro Partners can do for you. Don't forget...I'm all about Results!

NORTH SLOPE ELECTIONS!!

Well...I'm pretty excited about the fact that I finally took a step, that I've wanted to take for years, to become more involved in our North Slope neighborhood. I was elected to the Board of the North Slope Historic District (NSHD) last week. There are 9 Board Members and a number of great committees that do a ton of valuable work for our district and residents. For years I've reaped the benefits of their labor and have wanted to be more involved; however, my life circumstances left me feeling that I couldn't give the committment 100%, so I passed. Not this time! I so look forward to giving back to this neighborhood. I love it! One of the things I'm passionate about is the possibility of educating Real Estate Agents about this district, the restrictions, historic value, etc., when they list a home here or represent a buyer. I want there to be no more excuses for misinformation and no more claims of ignorance. WOW!!! That sounded a little bit like I had been elected to the senate or something. Ha ha. Oh well...happy to serve.
