"Ardell DellaLoggia is demanding and always pushing." And those are good things!
Ardell has helped Brio Realty become a very exciting place to be an agent. Where else could you get the assistance, respect, and help of the finest Broker in the Seattle-Bellevue area? Ardell is always requesting us agents to write blogs, attend seminars, and other things that will help us all in the long run. I feel she wants to make us all succeed and if she does not motivate you...then nobody can!
Her current concern is our sour market condition or at least that is what other agents are calling it. I am seeing many opportunities right now and have been very busy. It takes some thinking outside of the box. There are so many opportunities to make money right now. Here are just a few options....
1) Foreclosures and short sales. There are so many different angles to take on these properties, it would take another blog to write them all.
2) Lease-options. With the rise of foreclosures and people moving, lease options are a good alternative for many now. As an agent, you would receive a minimal commission now and a full commission later. (Something for the future.)
3) Low mortgage rates. With the low interest rates and Federal programs, you should be pushing anyone on the fence to take advantage now!
4) Refinances. One of my main focuses has been refinances lately. Of course, I am a Real Estate agent and a loan originator. I realize all of you may not be, but it may be worth looking into.
If you are an agent with Brio Realty, you should have no trouble finding ways to prosper, with the so many good agents and people around us. Here are some of those great people....

As the Regional Manager for BRIO Realty in Maryland, I watched BRIO Realty grow in Stature in Washington since Ardell became the Washington Broker for Brio. Her Blogs are alway stimulating, educational and informative she is an encyclopedia of Real Estate knowledge. KUDOS to Ardell.
Hi Jason,
It happened again, I wrote a comment without being logged in.
Hi Jason,
We are all anticipating great things from our new broker "Ardell." She has good ideas and as much energy as a race horse!
The thing that struck me two years ago when I first found ARDELL blogging on Rain City Guide, was how much she was on the side of the consumer, and leading the way for positive changes in real estate. I wanted to be a part of that paradigm shift, and I am glad that I have officially become a part of that when I finally hung my license at BRIO this month!
I agree Leslie and speaking of racing horses...congrats to my father and his horse that won on Sunday at Golden Gate in the featured stakes race.
Wow Jason,
Why don't you blog about that and put in pictures--people would love to hear about that and it puts a human side to you.
And I'd like to see a post on lease-options. Thanks. - Chad
I am a horse in Chinese Astrology. In fact I'm a triple horse born in the year of the horse, the month of the horse and the hour of the horse. They used to drown triple horse babies at birth...only the female ones, as no man could keep up with them and they made bad wives LOL!!!
Who wrote the Tony Soprano and Dr. Phil line? I LOVED it! I've been watching the Godfather series to brush up on my management skills.
Richard,
We're way up on the stature meter...but we need sales badly!!!

It don't get no better than ARDELL.
Leslie:
ARDELL is in ALL CAPS. It's on her birth certificate like that.
