A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to attend the Imagine That! luncheon to raise money to fund free and reduced admission to the Hands On Children's Museum in Olympia WA.  This was the first time I was invited, and I was overwhelmed by the community support.  I counted about 300 people in attendance.  The audience ranged from small business owners to educators, parents, physicians, politicians, community leaders, and more.  It was really a whos-who for Olympia!  The Hands On Children's Museum offers more than just a fun place for kids to learn and have fun with interactive displays.  The museum has expanded and developed many programs to fit the needs of the community including art classes, sensory-friendly events, events where families can connect with local pediatric services, and l... 04/04/2018

Today was my first meeting of the Thurston County REALTORS Association Government Affairs Committee.  And yes, it was as exciting as this picture depicts!!  :-)  But all kidding aside, I'm excited to be a part of this committee because this is really why being a REALTOR (over just a real estate agent) is so important:  this committee works directly on issues that impact homeowners and future homeowners. As a committee, we will interview local candidates running for office, vote to endorse or not endorse candidates, attend city and county council meetings to learn what's ahead,  and educate our colleagues on what is happening on the political front. Politics have never been of interest to me, but what is of interest to me are issues that help or hinder homeownership.  Just recently, the ... 01/26/2018

The competition is FIERCE this year amongst the brokers at Coldwell Banker Evergreen Olympic Realty in Olympia WA on Ugly Christmas Sweater Day 2017! We don't need to have a fancy party to have fun!  This is a great group of people who I consider to be not only my trusted colleagues but also my friends. I'm fortunate to work with a great group of people!  We celebrated Ugly Christmas Sweater Day 2017 with a potluck in our transformed lunchroom and spent the previous days and weeks decorating our workspaces.  It definitely looks like Christmas with all of our decorations and we had a blast! Karen Hamilton took the prize for her nutcracker display, which I personally thought was hilarious considering our current state of affairs.    The lunchroom was decorated with fun ideas, too.  Look a... 12/15/2017

I think my buyer just bought the dirtiest house in the county, and she’s really happy about it!  Why?  Because she knows she saved about $25,000, all because of dirt. She is not like most buyers.  She has great vision and can see (and smell) beyond the filth in front of her.  (I, on the other hand, spent most of the showing outside because I just couldn’t take it.  And then I was even more distraught when I noticed the smell followed me and clung to my clothes!)  The only advantage I can see of a dirty home is the money buyers can save on the purchase price.  But other than that, there are not many benefits to a dirty home that is listed for sale.  The majority of buyers will keep looking. So sellers, if you live in filth, you just can't list in filth.  For her closing gift, I thought i... 11/01/2017
