Alisha's real estate and other ramblings

Today is a rather gray day here in the Pacific Northwest. A little cooler and drizzly. Our weather is changing. Gone are those lazy days of summer, although as a real estate agent, who really has time to be lazy?! Soon, our clocks will "fall back" and the days will grow ever longer, ever darker. ...

Gas prices that is... I read and commented on another blog last week regarding the falling gas prices across the country. I've promised to dance a jig (and video tape it and post it here) if and when the prices in my area go below $2.00/gallon! Well, I'm getting my dancin' shoes out and shined, c...

Ok, so if you read my last blog, you know that I am not a horror movie lover. As a matter of fact, I avoid them at all costs, except during the month of October when by compromise, I am forced to endure them. Check out my blog for more details of my suffering! Well, last night I was forced to end...

Yep, I said it. Horror movies. Another thing we do for love. By we, I mean me! It's that time of year again. Halloween. The witching hour. All Hallows' Eve, and all that jazz. Just what am I going on about? Let me take you back a bit and explain myself. I married a man who loves horror movies. Al...

Everyone is thinking about "Going Green" these days. And everyone knows the general ways they can do that. Recycle and use recycled products, use green cleaning products, conserve energy - you know, the usual.   I'm starting a blog series about a new way to "Go Green" that affects homeowners, bui...

Ok, so how many of you have "those clients"? You know the ones. They call you a month after closing to ask how to turn the hot tub on. Or if you can come over and help them set the alarm. A few months later, your phone rings, and you are asked if you can refer them to a painter, a doctor or a can...

I am looking forward to Halloween so much this year. I've always loved Halloween and this time of year. The change in the season and weather. The heartier foods we cook. Bringing the fall wardrobe out of storage and shopping for a few new key pieces. Wearing boots! But this year I am looking forw...

Another amazing day for the record books. Yesterday, I woke up to the sounds of my beautiful 5 month old daughter playing and talking to herself in her crib. I wandered upstairs and opened my blinds, only to be greeted by the amazing sunrise over the Olympic Mountains. What a breathtaking site. I...

As I scanned Active Rain first thing this morning, I ran across a blog about a meet and greet at NAR next month. I am reminded of my first NAR conference. It was 2 years ago, NARdi Gras in New Orleans. Wow, that event woke up something inside me!   I was new to the business, having only had my li...

While I love to blog, this site and blogging for real estate related issues is new to me. But, this is right up my alley. I do love to talk! :) And for those of you who know me, know that for sure. I'm excited that I found this site and now have a new opportunity to connect with other professiona...
