whatcom county realtor: Wrapping it up - Keep Christmas Green - 11/28/07 04:35 PM
As we rapidly approach the holiday season, I ask that we all remember, and remind our clients, how to have a happy and festive eco-friendly year-end.
Some Tips:
1. If you have small children or children who enjoy crafts, get large sheets of Kraft paper (100% recycled) or old packaging paper and color or paint or stencil or stamp or whatever - relatives will LOVE the hand-made paper from their favorite little people; instead of using wrapping paper AND coloring/Kraft paper - combine the two!
2. Re-use last year's materials, if you still have them, and if not, save this year's for next year!

whatcom county realtor: A Realtor Gone Green! - 11/03/07 11:54 AM
Last night, my husband and I watched a You-Tube video about the "Al Gore" debate and the reporter stated that we don't really know if it's a problem that there's global warming and we don't really know if it's humans to blame....Hmmm. Well, I'm not a scientist and I certainly don't care to debate the finer points of the influence of humans on Earth, environmentalism or the future of the Earth...But, I do know this. We are living in a society of consumerism! We live in a society where bigger is better, newer is brighter, and packaging sells. I do know … (38 comments)

whatcom county realtor: Let The Light Shine In...The Truth About Washington Real Estate - 10/31/07 04:04 PM
Boy, the national media sure has a way of making a "doomsday" event of the current real estate market! As some of you may have seen, the National Association of Realtors is fed up with the negative, and usually false, reports of the current market. They are launching a marketing campaign entitled, "Get the Facts" and I thought I'd give a bit of insight on our local market...First, though, let it be known that in no way does this mitigate or lessen the pain felt by those in bad markets. In no way does it suggest that there aren't local residents … (0 comments)

whatcom county realtor: Why I'm NOT always available! - 10/31/07 03:53 PM
Well, this is why! My family is the number one, most important thing in my life. I work for them - I love my work...but I love my family more! (phew:)). If I know that an important and urgent call is coming in, I will warn my kiddos that I will have to "talk on the phone for work" for a little bit that night but I won't make a habit of it. When I first started in this business, I read a book about how easy it can be to let real estate run your life. After all, it's commission … (14 comments)

Have you heard of Denise Lones? Well, if not - you should find out about her! She is a real estate guru - truly a master of the industry. She owns a real esate coaching and marketing company, locally here in Bellingham, but operates on both a local and national, if not global, level (just look at the work she does for Zebras - definitely on a global scale)!. Every year, she offers coaching programs. This year, 2008, is her BIGGEST one yet; it's called EVOLVE and yours truly is going to be a part of it! My family and I … (2 comments)

whatcom county realtor: Alphabet Soup! - 10/31/07 03:44 PM
Before I got in to this business, I had NO idea what all those letters meant after a Realtor's name. As a matter of fact, even when I entered the business, I had no idea. I figured it represented education, achievement, success etc but didn't know much more than that. So, here's information on one of them!
I recently earned my GRI - it's a Realtor designation that means Graduate of the Realtor Institue and is a 90 clock hour series of classes and exams. One of my goals this year was to earn both my ABR and my GRI - and … (2 comments)
