  The New Steel Worker!   My daughter came to me the other night on Halloween. She had told me that she wasn’t going to dress up this year because she is now 14 years old. Of course the reason for the change was because of her wonderful friends changing their minds as well. I was slammed with trying to help her find a costume.  My husband used to work for Nucor Steel and recently got a new job. When he left Nucor he was able to keep all of his coveralls and hard hat because they had his name on them. My husband said it would make a great costume. To my surprise my daughter agreed too! My husband hooked her up with all the tools and everything. She looked great! We got her all fixed up and took her to her friend’s house for the night.   After I had a chance to look at the photos it got m... 11/08/2011

Should the Mortgage Interest Deduction be phased out Gig Harbor?   I came across a very interesting article today in the Costco Connection while I was enjoying my morning cup of Joe. I was very impressed to find this particular article in the Costco Connection magazine, (no offense). It was asking; “Should the mortgage interest deduction be phased out?” It was an article that had two experts weigh in on the subject along with other people like you and me who also weighed in on the topic. I have heard this topic brought up a little bit here and there over the last couple of months, but this time I am paying attention. I think this is another topic that needs some attention by the American public. The YES man is Anthony Randazzo who is the director of economic research at the Reason Found... 11/03/2011

Paranormal Activity in Gig Harbor Tonight! I can't wait to go and see this movie tongight! I am a huge fan of the horror flick. I am not sure what it is about them, but I have been hooked ever since I was young. The first scary movie I ever saw was Poltergeist.

The Heat is On!  I love this time of year, but I always hate when I get to the point of turning the heat on. I don't know why... It is some mental block that has been en-grained in me from my mother of course. Everything about me that I don't like can always be blamed on my mother. (love you mom) I think for me it means it's the end of summer and the fact that I live in the wonderful northwest, means I don't have to pay for air conditioning. Having to pay that huge increase in monthly bills for my electric bill is crazy. Yes! I have electric heat.  I don't think it would matter if I had gas or not, it would still be an increase in our monthly bills. If you are feeling the pinch this time of year there are some things you can do to reduce your bills now and over time. One of the first th... 10/04/2011

Gig Harbor Real Estate: You Need a Real Estate Broker More Then Ever! Yesterday I was out on tour and we parked our car and as I was getting out I noticed there was a For Sale By Owner sign in the yard of a home across the street. I glanced and thought to myself I will check out the info when I am done looking at this home. As I am coming out of the home I was intending to look at, I noticed someting else about the sign. It was like a beacon shining so bright. I was so shocked I had to take a photo and share with everyone. Can you tell me what’s wrong with this picture? In this ever challenging housing market I understand why some home owners choose to go it alone. I feel really bad for this individual because they are not even able to get that appointment made. There is NO PHONE NUMBER... 09/30/2011

The History of HOME Home: one’s place of residence, the social unit formed by a family living together, a familiar or usual setting, habitat, a place of origin, relaxed and comfortable, at ease, in harmony with surroundings. These are the most common definitions of HOME. Of course to most of us it’s the roof that happens to be over our head. I have heard many things over the years, traditional or not, of what HOME means to people. Or the many different types of homes people have had over the years. I want to examine what home is and how important it is to us as people. In the last few years HOME has been used in a very negative way. We have heard that HOMES are being taken away, that people are losing their HOMES. No one wants to buy a HOME. HOME values are falling… The list is long… I ... 09/30/2011

Gig Harbor Real Estate: Should I Buy a Fixer-Upper?? In today’s Gig Harbor housing market there are a lot of homes that are Bank Owned or Short Sales. A lot of times these Gig Harbor homes have been vacant and neglected for quite sometime and they usually need some work.

On the other hand you can make it your way and still have equity left in your new home right out the gate.

Facebook and Real Estate! How Do You Use Facebook To Your Advantage? I LOVE Facebook! I have been using before I got into Real Estate, but have found so many ways to use it. I have also had much success with using Facebook. I want to let you know how I use it to share with my Clients, Friends, & Family, but also you wonderful Real Estate Professionals who haven't tapped into what you can do with Facebook. The best way is to create a Facebook Business Page. It is very easy to create and it takes less than a few minutes. This is a great way to let all of your Clients and Friends know what's going on in your local Real Estate market. For my clients this is also a way that I can market your home and tap into a buyer pool that most Real Estate professionals aren't using. Here is an example o... 09/29/2011

Things That Sellers Forget When Listing Their Home For Sale in Gig Harbor I have been meeting with many Sellers lately and there seems to be a consistent problem with their homes... CLEANLINESS & FIXING OBVIOUS PROBLEMS   You would think this wouldn't be that big of a problem, but everyone has their own idea of what clean is. They also don't understand that your home has to be problem free! No UN-finished projects. I always go through the same routine right before I list their home. I tell them to CLEAN, FIX, AND CLEAN AGAIN. But it seems that when it comes time to take photos or put the home on live or that wonderful first Open House, it's still in disarray. I understand that certain situations may prevent you from doing these things. You hired me to take care of marketing and getting ... 09/29/2011
