After 28+ years of service (and 30+ years total including his time in the Navy), my husband, Chief Warrant Officer Five Cody B. Culp, has officially retired from the U.S. Army 🇺🇸
Reaching CW5—the highest Warrant Officer rank—is an incredible achievement. From deployments around the world to earning the Bronze Star, I couldn’t be more proud of him.
This journey has shaped our entire family, and I’m so grateful for it all. Here’s to the next chapter ❤️

Culp Retirement: Chief Warrant Officer Five Cody B. Culp, the husband of former Los Lunas resident Amanda (Pixler) Culp, recently retired from the United States Army after 28 years of military service. Cody holds the rank of CW5 (Electronic Warfare Technician), the highest Warrant Officer rank, and has served in both the U.S. Navy and Army. Throughout his career he has deployed and served in multiple capacities around the world, including Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan. He worked primarily in field artillery, targeting, and electronic warfare. He is a Bronze Star and Defense Meritorious Service Medal recipient and is currently completing his master’s degree in Emergency and Disaster Management. Amanda Culp is the daughter of Richard and Anna Braddy, who were long-time residents of the Los Chavez and are still closely connected to Valencia County.

🌾 Headed to the Spokane Ag Show this weekend! 🌾
Events like this are where agriculture and real estate come together. The Spokane Ag Show is all about innovation, growth, and connection — and that’s exactly what land and ranch real estate is about too.
Understanding soil, water, crop production, and ag economics helps me better serve my clients who are buying or selling farms, ranches, and acreage. The more I learn from the ag community, the better advocate I can be for landowners and buyers looking for productive ground and long-term value.
If you’re attending, I’d love to connect! This is where relationships are built and opportunities grow.

What some people don’t know about me...

I used to be an amazing couponer. 🛒✂️
I could walk into a store with $200 worth of groceries and walk out paying $40.

Why? Because I learned how to find value, negotiate, and stack opportunities.
Funny enough… that’s exactly how I approach real estate.

I’m always looking for:
✔️ Hidden value
✔️ Ways to save my clients money
✔️ Opportunities others might overlook

Whether it’s a deal at the grocery store or the right home at the right price, I love helping people get more for their money.

👉 What’s the best deal you’ve ever scored — couponing, negotiating, or just being in the right place at the right?

🌲 Thinking About Your Next Chapter in Washington? 🌲

If you’re dreaming of retiring—or just slowing down a bit—in a small town with plenty of outdoor activities, Southwest Washington has some wonderful options to explore!

Picture living in a peaceful community surrounded by forests, lakes, hiking trails, and fresh air—while still being within about an hour of quality medical care and everyday conveniences.

Here are a few great small-town areas southwest of Olympia to consider:

🏡 Littlerock – close to Capitol State Forest and Mima Mounds
🏡 Belmore / Black Lake area – lake life with easy access to Olympia
🏡 Bucoda – tiny town charm and quiet country living
🏡 Tenino – historic feel with parks and trails
🏡 Grand Mound – rural vibe but close to I-5
🏡 Chehalis – small town with more amenities nearby
🏡 Winlock – open spaces and affordable living
🏡 Maytown & Offutt Lake areas – peaceful, nature-filled communities

These towns are ideal for anyone who loves walking, kayaking, gardening, hiking, exploring farmers markets, and enjoying a slower, more relaxed pace of life—without feeling too far from the services you need.

If you’ve been thinking about making a move like this, I’d love to help you explore the best fit for your lifestyle and budget. Every person’s “perfect town” looks a little different!
