5% To Charity - Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance

I care about what you care about, and I'm putting my money where your heart is! I'm donating 5% of every commission to each client's favorite charity.

Aurora and Andres had become empty nesters and were thinking about a lifestyle change. They originally contacted me to buy a mountain cabin. Their family loves mountain sports, and a cabin seemed like a great place for their family to spend more time there. However, they quickly discovered there weren't many options within 20 minutes of their favorite places that met their criteria. They shifted gears and decided they'd rather ditch their suburban home with a big yard to maintain and get something closer to restaurants with easier upkeep. They still needed plenty of room for their sports gear and occasional returns of their nearly launched kids. We found the perfect home near old Bellevue. They decided on their charity because Aurora loves mountain biking and wanted to support a group that does so much to make mountain biking better in the region.

Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance is a Washington-based nonprofit dedicated to making the outdoors more accessible, enjoyable, and welcoming for mountain bikers of all ages and skill levels. Through trail building and maintenance, rider education, community events, advocacy, and volunteer opportunities, Evergreen helps create and protect sustainable places to ride throughout the state. Their work brings people together, encourages responsible recreation, and helps ensure that Washington’s beautiful trails can be enjoyed for generations to come.

When you buy or sell with me, you can support your favorite school, social justice organization, food bank, un-housed neighbor program, veteran group, or anything else you care about. How great is that? What will you choose?

Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance is Washington State’s largest mountain bike organization. Internationally known for creating Colonnade and Duthie Hill mountain

My client was ready to downsize after her children launched. She'd been searching for the just the right water view home. When it popped on the market, we were ready! We'd strategized months earlier to prepare her home for listing. With thoughtful planning and strong marketing, we listed within days, received a full-price offer, and closed on both the sale and purchase on the same day.

Whether you're downsizing, upsizing, or exploring your next move, I'd love to help. I'll partner with you every step to make the process smooth and stress-free. Text or email me! gretchen-schmidt.com

The best thing about this Bellevue condo isn't the price, the schools, or the garage. It's the birds.
