burien: Thanks For Making Me Laugh, Dr. Fulton! - 02/04/08 11:24 PM
I was on my way home from work today, dwelling on a transaction I'm currently involved in that as of today has officially boarded the handbasket to Hell. Other than that my day was fabulous, but of course our minds can't help but go back to the bad things that have

burien: A Misleading Headline Misleads Your Audience - 12/22/07 01:25 PM
Another dreary, rainy day in Burien. Though I'm dead tired and groggy from my Nyquil-induced sleep(wasn't feeling well), I am at the office to do my Saturday morning floor shift. Since I'm still not awake enough to do anything that requires too much thought, I start reading the headlines. One in particular grabs my

burien: DOWN WITH FRONT-LOADERS!! - 12/14/07 05:21 PM
I am referring, of course, to washing machines. I have had my beautiful Kenmore Energy Star front-loading washing machine for what, I don't know, about 6 years now. I've (stupidly) had it serviced twice, to the tune of at least $300.00. I actually got a discount from my repairman because he's

Check out my new wallpaper! I know, not a smart thing to have when you're on a diet. In addition to being a full-time Realtor, I also run a wholesale and internet tea company with my husband. I was delivering tea to a Korean grocery store when I saw these beautiful

The news all over the front page of the papers and the top story in the news today was, can you guess...that's right, the REAL ESTATE MARKET. Contrary to the story on Yahoo!'s home page("Last Of The Red-Hot Real Estate Markets") right now, the median price of homes has declined in

Week 3: Our numbers dwindled at the meeting(actually, how would I know? I wasn't even there). Week 4: After Thanksgiving, we are still committed to losing the weight, and have collectively declared that we are back on track! I am looking around at everyone, and there are a few people who stand

Every day when I drive through downtown Burien, I see the construction that's going on and think to myself: "This has been, is, and will be such a pain in the butt for years to come! I AM SICK OF ALL THE TRAFFIC! Not to mention my flat tire last month

burien: What Should Be Done With North Highline? - 11/19/07 02:09 AM
Should North Highline be annexed by Burien or Seattle? Sometime next year, voters who reside within North Highline's boundaries will decide their future. How will the annexation affect property taxes, municipal resources, schools, businesses, and property values? Are you thinking about buying property in this area? At the end of this post I'll

What a difference a week makes...after our first week of having a Biggest Loser competition in our office, as a group we lost 112 pounds. In contrast, this week we lost 30. Actually, I'm stretching it a bit by using the word "we". I personally gained a pound, so I can't

Every once in a while I find that working in the office isn't particularly productive for me. When I find myself chatting it up with other agents for long periods of time and otherwise using my time in an unproductive way, it's a sure sign that I'm bored and need to

Well, now I know what mine looked like. My house was built in 1949, and since then it has had several additions built on it. Nevertheless, when I pulled out the photo that was sent from the Washington State Archives, my husband and I were surprised to see the little tiny

Yesterday I previewed the most incredible house. As a Realtor, I see between 15 - 30 homes per week as part of keeping up with inventory and staying knowledgeable about the market for myself, my buyers and sellers. Anyway, I suppose it was a good thing that I was an agent
