Tahoma School District Holiday Calendar

For the Christmas Holiday Students and their families will have 13 full days to enjoy their Winter Break. The last day of school in December will be the 19th and classes will resume January 2, 2013  (view full calendar here) This means lots of time for baking, shopping, game-playing, visiting, caroling and overall-merry making. I’m sure there are more than a few kids (and kids at heart) out there who are counting on a little snow to make the holiday break extra fun. You can count me among them!

Maple Valley Short Sale-Closed!

By
Maple Valley Short Sale-Closed!

Happy Thanksgiving to the new owners of this lovely 3 BR home in Maple Valley! The previous owners contacted me this Summer as a job relocation out of state meant they would need to sell. Having bought this home in 2007, their value was,  needless to say, much lower than when purchased. We negotiated this Fannie Mae short sale, with a full waiver of deficiency rights, received approval on the 2nd….all without the owners ever having to be late on a payment. If I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again, no two short sales are exactly alike, which is why, if you’re considering this option as an exit strategy, it’s important to get information as it pertains to your personal set of circumstances. Educating yourself is a very important first step in the process!
