Thanks Again!

September 3, 2009 Colleen's Blog

It was with great pleasure that I opened this year’s letter from Crescendo Business Services informing me that I had once again been selected at one of 5 Star “Best in Satisfaction” Real Estate agents for 2009. This will be my fourth year running that I have been nominated and selected by their committee.

Real Estate and Pregnancy

July 30, 2009 Colleen's Blog

Waiting is hard!
I’m not a patient person. When I want something, I usually want it now. So I am especially sympathetic to clients during the closing process who are waiting for “the big day”. The day of closing when their purchase or sale is final and they can settle in, or get their money and [...]

The Ride Is Over….Finally!

June 18, 2009 Colleen's Blog

I love my birthday. I think I may actually be the most obnoxious birthday person I know. It’s a flaw. I accept it and am unwilling to ”work on it”.

I’m fortunate to have a very short commute to the office every day. I think it’s somewhere around 3 miles each way. But in that short 10 minute time frame I seem to see the darnedest things! Last year, after popping in the Maple Valley Market, I came outside to see this ….definitely one of [...]
