Fishhawk Lake Real Estate-Man, I LOVE my job!

Man, I love my job!!! Today four and a half hours just flew by! I had new clients at Fishhawk Lake who found me through ActiveRain. Within moments of first meeting, it was delightful to find out how DEEPLY they had delved into my blogposts. I had handed them a copy of the Vernonia's Voice, the paper I write for locally and the husband said, “You write a lot, don’t you?”

It made me laugh and I briefly explained my goal last year to make it a priority to focus on ActiveRain and blog as often as possible. He explained that they read some of my blogs. During the course of the time we spent together, I could tell that they really HAD read them.

The old farmer's tiny red house for example. It was the first one here at Fishhawk Lake and before I could say anything, they asked, “That’s the red house you wrote about, isn’t it? The first building here at the lake? Wasn't it moved 3 times?"

We talked about the annual salmon spawning here at Fishhawk Lake as I pointed out the creeks where you can see them and how careful you have to be if you’re a dog owner because dogs could die from eating dead salmon. They said, “Oh, yes, we read that article of yours about it”….well, didn’t I feel important!!!

They talked about the photos I took, the sense for the community that they got from my blogs about Fishhawk Lake and because of that, they had driven out here the weekend before, checked it out and then contacted me via ActiveRain to set up an appointment. They are a young couple who want to live here fulltime and raise their future children here. It answers the call of their memories of growing up in a small town and that true sense of “community” and all of the joys that that stands for. I can’t WAIT to embrace them as new neighbors!
