Can a real estate agent be professional and still have fun with customers?  Of course, they can!  I love my profession because I love helping people achieve their goals.  My responsibility to those who hire me is to get them what they want, whether it's the best price for their current home or the new home that fits their exact needs.  The whole process of buying or selling real estate can sometimes be frustrating and confusing.  Part of my job is to handle those moments professionally and positively.  And if there is humor in something, bring it out!  If there is no humor, then bring it in.  Laughter is a great stress reliever and creates a bond between those sharing the laughter.  The people I help with real estate have said how much they appreciate my patience, persistence, professionalism, and that they had fun with me.  Of course, the key is to listen to what the people have to say, understand their needs, understand their motivation, and their sense of humor.  As soon as you are clear on what they want and who they are, you have a loyal client and possibly a new friend.

I love being a mom and grandma.  I have two children, a son and a daughter, and thankfully they live near me so I can enjoy seeing them and my 5 grandchildren who are 25, 19, 17 and almost 4.  I love dogs and cats.  Right now, I have one dog and two cats.  I recently lost one dog and one cat and I really miss them

Living in the Seattle area is a perfect place to live. In a two-hour (or less) drive you can be at the ocean or in the mountains.  On clear days, Mt. Baker can be seen to the north and Mt. Rainier to the South.  Anywhere you travel there is a lake nearby.  There's always something to do both outdoors and indoors - there's an activity to suit everyone.
