One of my favorite things about living in Clyde Hill is the proximity to some of my favorite places to spend time in the Fall. Nothing beats living less than two minutes from the Medina dog park! Our dogs Penny & Pepper especially love our visits to the park in the Fall when they can play in the fallen leaves. The park is a true neighborhood fixture and I love seeing it full of dogs and pet parents. Everyone in our family has made friends from around the neighborhood at the Medina park and I love the strong sense of community felt there. I like that there are walking paths and wide open spaces so you have the option of throwing the ball around with your dogs or just walking with them. Bonus that the paths are gravel so the dogs don't get overly muddy on the trail!Another Medina favorite... 10/17/2021

Listed three homes and had three offers accepted. And that was in a 6 day week! The market is good! Not crazy good but good. My opinion is the market has slowed a little but that is mostly in response to being overheated and it needed to calm a little. Further more sellers are coming into the market giving more selection to buyers and now not every deal is multiple offers and there is choice. Finally the last few weeks have seen interest rates rise marginally but a rise in rates. This makes sellers more willing to take a plunge before they go higher. There is one other factor. The government is signaling an adjustment to 1031 Exchanges and an increase in Capital Gains so investors are selling a few more properties than last year. Three sales a condo, a beautiful building lot and a house... 10/16/2021

Are Time and Money Wasters Dragging Your Business Down? Have you ever had a leaky faucet? One that drip-drip-drips all day and night? Maybe one that you know should be fixed, needs to be fixed, but it isn't your biggest priority? Then the water bill comes and you are shocked to learn that the little drip drip drip has resulted in an extra $200 bill and thousands of gallons of water. Then it becomes a big priority! The individual drips don't seem like a big deal, but the accumulation factor is huge. Every business has leaks. Most real estate agent businesses are especially prone to leaks because we are independent contractors! Most agents have to be the lead generator, administrative assistant, the bookkeeper, the appointment-setter, the graphic designer, and more. Usually the biggest p... 10/15/2021

Prioritizing Your Rocks You are likely familiar with the Rocks, Pebbles, and Sand story and demonstration. No? Let me quickly explain: Our demonstration includes a jar, rocks, pebbles, and sand.

The rocks include the important stuff - spouse, family and friends, pets, hobbies, health, and the things that bring each of us joy. The pebbles include the things that we have to focus on such as career, making sure your house is maintained, your financial life, etc. It even includes marketing such as your campaigns that bring you future business!
