Besides paperwork and some follow up emails, the biggest part of my day today was spent at an inspection for my buyer purchasing a bank owned condo in Everett. The purchase and sale made it clear that it would be the buyer's responsibility to de-winterize the property for inspection. My buyer - t...

Sunday is Open House Day! I spent the morning prepping for the Open House. Printing information sheets for visitors, printing comp sheets, making feature cards, etc. I grabbed a quick lunch and headed out to put out my directional signs - in the wind and rain. By the time I walked into my listing...

Slept in a little longer than I planned this morning - but woke up feeling a whole lot better than yesterday! I delivered flyers to my listings that needed them and took photos of painting work that has been completed at another listing. Then I headed into the office as this is my weekend to be M...

Feeling better, but still not 100%. I had big plans for today - and only accomplished about half of what I wanted to do. Seems like walking across the room was exhausting! Showed homes in the Columbia City area of Seattle today. Quite the mix - a home built in 1942, then a 2007 townhome style and...

Real estate came to a sreeching halt today - all because of a flu bug. I attended a continuing education class this morning on selling HUD homes. The last 15 minutes I started to feel really bad. I ended up having my husband come pick me as I did not think that I could drive home. Turned out to b...

AKWAAAARD! That one, drawn out word describes my real estate experience yesterday. A large church in Seattle contacted me to see a building for sale in Everett. They are looking to open a new location and the building (a Mason's Lodge in the 1930s) looks to be a good fit for them. We met the list...

This morning was our office Sales Meeting. We always have fun at our meetings! A local rep from the National Association of Realtors spoke today about what we get out of our dues. Can't say that I am won over to the value of membership - but I do feel better about it than before he spoke. I had a...

Real estate is nothing if not interesting! Today I heard from a buyer that their parents have talked them out of buying a home they loved. So we are back to searching. A agent contacted me to say that their buyer wants to make an offer on a vacant home that I have listed - as long as I can captur...

It was back to work at full speed today! I made the rounds to my listings. Taking updated photos, delivering flyers, removing/installing key boxes, etc. While I was delivering flyers to a new listing I got a sign call about the house - so I showed it while I was there! This afternoon I worked the...

This is the first day in a really long time that I did not wear business attire for at least part of the day. That means I did not have any client appointments, nor did I go to the office today! I spent the entire day at my daughter's volleyball tournament - then we spent the evening together as ...
