The South Rose Hill neighborhood in Kirkland is one of thirteen neighborhoods and is located on the south east corner of Kirkland. 85th street is the boundary between the North and South Rose Hill neighborhoods.  In the early 1900s Rose Hill was covered with beautiful pink rose bushes ... voila the neighborhood was named.  There are so many facets that residents love about this neighborhood such as the peace and quiet, well maintained homes, highly attended neighborhood association meetings and easy access to pretty much everywhere.  Not to mention a Kirkland address with a more affordable price tag!  Home prices range from the low $200Ks - the high $800Ks.  The median price is $465,000.   There are still a few remaining homes built from the early 1900's and several built in the 50's an...

The First Apple Macintosh Portable ComputerThe First Apple Macintosh Portable ComputerThe year was 1989. I was helping fulfill a life long dream of my parents. They were going to the Holy Land for the first time in their life. As missionaries for 33 years in Colombia, they had lived and taught out of the Bible all their lives.Now they finally were going to experience the Bible Lands for themselves!My 14 year old daughter agreed to go with me, but the trip was in the Fall, and she did not want to fall behind in school.So I bought the newly released Macintosh Portable Computer! It was amazing! It would run for 10 hours on one battery charge. She could do her homework in the bus, in the hotel lobby - anywhere! Yes it cost $7000, but I was at the top of my game, and that cost was worth it f...

Two Story Fixer in North Rose Hill Kirkland WATwo Story Fixer in North Rose Hill Kirkland WAI am working for an out of state investor right now. He pulled this property up on my www.kirklandhomevalues.com web site.“Could you give me some more information?”, was his request.So I visited the property, took a video and sent it to him. He did not go for it, but I think there is great value here for a buyer who can overlook the clutter and see the solid home underneath.It has a big lot - over 12000 square feet, and is zoned duplex. The house is solid, and is divided into an upstairs unit and a downstairs unit.Right next door is the Forbes Lake Park. There is a gate in the fence that goes right into the park, with its path down to the waters edge.Sure it needs work! Lots of it! But where else...

The Phil Leng Team - KrissaThe Phil Leng Team - KrissaKrissa has been on the Phil Leng Team for 2 years. Last year I had her get her real estate license, so she would be unhindered in doing what she does best - interact with people.Her favorite thing to do is to be a customer support person, or concierge. She loves to make people smile, feel at home, and feel like they have known her forever.In addition to people contact, she does a number of other tasks as the need arises. She can take pictures of a house, fill in tasks on one of our software systems, and handle repairs that need to be done on a listing. She is also great at connecting with people who are inquiring about us or a property we are selling.A valuable member of the team! View Larger Map

The Phil Leng Team - Daily MeetingThe Phil Leng Team - Daily MeetingWe start each day Monday to Friday with a team meeting at 8:30. Staff is there, as well as the buyers agents.Deals in progress are discussed, and we each hand in our sheets of what we did the day before. We usually follow that up with an instructional or inspirational video from Keller Williams University.Lately we have been ending with a short study of one of the Characters in the Bible. We just finished the life of Joseph, and it is interesting how many times in the day I think about what was happening in his life and how it relates to our lives.He went from pampered child, to the pit, to the plain, to the prison, to the palace. He ended up saving the very brothers that left him in a pit to die. Through all his hardsh...
