This was a wild one, gorgeous mid-century modern remodel. Ended up with four offers and selling for 350k over the list price...1,750,000 for the win!

Time is precious! I am feeling accomplished & relieved! I just ordered everything I need to cook Thanksgiving dinner from Fred meyers. Not only that my order will be here in an hour and a half :-) so much better than beating the crowds, and I still got all the deals.

This is so spot on, I had to share it. (Thank you Trisran)

I want everyone to be a real estate agent, at least once in their life. Not for the money, not for the 'flexible schedule,' and definitely not for the glamour you see on Netflix or Social Media. I want you to try it because it's hard, because it tests everything you're made of.

It's those mornings when you're up before dawn, driving across town putting up open house signs, knowing half of them might get stolen. It's sitting alone in someone's beautifully staged home during an open house, waiting. Three hours pass, and maybe two people show up, both just curious neighbors. But you smile and share your knowledge; because that's what we do.

It's watching people you've known for years, people whose children you've watched grow up, people you've supported at every community event and fundraiser, watching them list with someone else without even a courtesy call. That hits hard. Really hard.

You pour your heart into this community. Sometimes it feels like you're giving everything and wondering if anyone notices. You watch your kids' soccer games with your phone in hand because that client might call. You miss family dinners for last-minute showings. Your life works on everyone else's schedule, not yours.

But here's the truth about real estate that keeps me going: Those late-night calls from a first-time homebuyer in tears because they're scared to make an offer - you talk them through it. The elderly couple selling their home of 40 years, you sit with them for hours as they tell you stories about every room. The single mom who didn't think she could ever own a home, you work tirelessly to make it happen.

When I look at my colleagues who've stuck with this profession, I don't see flashy cars, designer suits, shoes, purses, or vanity metrics on social media. I see people who keep showing up, keep serving, keep caring, not because it's profitable, but because it's who they are.

That's what real estate really is. It's not about the houses. It's about the human moments; the hard ones, the beautiful ones, and all the quiet, unseen ones in between. And this is exactly why I want everyone to be a real estate agent, at least once in their life. Because in this profession, you learn what it truly means to serve others before yourself. These aren't just lessons for real estate - they're lessons for life. Because in the end, that's what makes not just great real estate agents, but great human beings.

I closed on 3 deals this week, but one of them was extra special. I met this couple several years ago and they have since bought 4 properties with me and we have 2 more listings to go. They are wonderful to work with and I have become very good friends with them over the years. Happy to hand Carrie her keys today to a sweet little two bedroom home in a beautiful neighborhood above Alderbrook on the Hood Canal.

Update on the four offers that I wrote Sunday. Two are under contract, I lost one to a multiple offer situation. And my last buyer got cold feet. Two out of four not bad.

One of them is a cute rambler out at Alderbrook, and the other is a condo with a gorgeous view in kirkland.
