This has been an outstanding day for me. For the past 2.5 weeks I have been in a non-weight bearing cast after slipping off my shoe heel and breaking the 5th metatarsal in my foot. Life changed dramatically for this realtor. I went into a major slow down physically & emotionally as the reality...

Sometimes the clock just doesn't move on a Saturday afternoon in a vacant house five miles from anywhere. It is in those quiet times that a realtor can really "study" the house to write down ideas to help it sell. Yesterday my husband went with me to a home and commented that the mirror over the ...

I am not a KNOW IT ALL, but I am always willing to find out all you want to know. I draw from experience from my life, from years of education and from client relationships to share with potential homeowners, sellers and casual house hunters.

We are a capitol community after all; unique in many ways from the number of state workers to Evergreen State College and the personality that goes along with both.
Life is a challenge; let's share ways to make it better!
