My Grays Harbor Fall Bucket List is here!

As a local dad of 2, autumn in the Harbor is hands-down my favorite season. From pumpkin patches and coffee runs to trick-or-treating and local theatre, we’ve got so many incredible local spots on the Harbor to check out over the next two months.

What’s your #1 must-do fall tradition in the Harbor?

In Fall 2022, we had an idea to get a group together for a 60-mile relay on the Coast. Looking back, I had no clue it would kick off a four-year running arc, or that it would run side-by-side with some of the biggest life shifts I’ve ever navigated.

Crossing the finish line this weekend of the Spartan Beast 21K + 30 Obstacles with my teammates, Dominic and Chris, and with Ruth at the finish line, was the culmination of this chapter. The camaraderie in these races, before, during, and after, and most importantly, Ruth and I getting to work out with our kids these last two years and even standing at the finish lines to celebrate their own race accomplishments, are memories I will never forget.

What’s Next? (IYKYK)

Focusing on building my real estate business with more to come in Q4, helping clients buy and sell in Grays Harbor, enjoying every moment of our new “sports parent” era, navigating the 5-month holiday season (September 1 through Super Bowl Sunday), and building leg and core strength to try and keep up with Ruth and the kids on the slopes this winter.

As for my next organized, competitive race? I have my sights set on getting “The Average Joe-Vengers” into Ski to Sea in Bellingham in May 2027. Want to join?

Starting September 4, NWMLS is rolling out a brand-new “First Look” option across Washington State.

For Grays Harbor homeowners, it gives us up to 21 days to be strategic and intentional with how we launch your home, letting us build pre-market momentum while also juggling the moving logistics, repairs, and staging needed to get the home picture perfect.

The catch? Every bit of activity during that window still becomes part of the listing history that agents see behind the scenes and will share with perspective buyers. How you handle pricing, timing, and showings from day one matters.

Swipe through to see how "First Look” works, what the fine print means for your move, and how we will use to your advantage.

Thinking about selling in Grays Harbor? DM me and let’s map out a pre-launch strategy for your home.

Appreciate the entire team that is working behind the scenes to ensure a smooth closing process!

And just like that, my first 365 days as a licensed real estate agent in Washington State is in the books. What a ride it has been, and we are just getting started.

To everyone who trusted and supported me this past year: thank you for being part of the journey.

In the words of T. Lasso, “Onward, Forward” to year two we go!

With gratitude and appreciation, Cal
