Cut your own Christmas tree at a local Clark County tree farm! Hey, I'm doing the work for ya finding all the good stuff!! Check out the Christmas Tree Farms, Hayrides and Fun info below for possible fun for your family and friends!

Christmas trees and holiday wreaths are so much fun to go out and choose for yourself. There are many places in Clark County, Washington and surrounding areas that have home-grown Christmas trees and produce for you. Some of these farms offer petting zoos, hayrides and refreshments! Here is the link to the full page that actually encompasses the whole nation too: http://pickyourownchristmastree.org/WAxmassw.php

Here is our local Clark County information. Go! Enjoy!

Whether you want to cut your own tree, pick a live tree and have it cut for you, buy a tree already cut or buy a living tree you can plant, this page provides detailed listings of Olympia and SouthWest Washington State's choose-and-cut Christmas tree farms, places to buy pre-cut (also called pre-harvested and fresh-cut) trees, stands, sleigh rides, hay rides and related winter events and fun.

Tips:

• If the name of the farm is blue with an underline; that's a link to their website. Click on it for the most current hours and information.
• ALWAYS call the farm or store BEFORE YOU GO to confirm their supply, their hours and whether they are allowing choose-and-cut or just precut trees. All three can change during the short Christmas season, due to weather, demand and the farmer's business conditions! Farms get sold, shut down or run out of trees, and I have no way of knowing, because I can't call or visit every farm every month, let alone every day. For more tips to make your trip fun and successful, click here! DON'T DRIVE OUT THERE IF YOU CAN'T REACH THEM BY PHONE OR EMAIL!
• And please tell the farmer you visit in Olympia and SouthWest Washington State that you found their farm here! I need the farmers to realize that you found them here so that they will keep their information up to date!

KW Red flags a-waving....KW Broker Tour is pretty impressive with our 8-10 cars with KW flags attached to each car's window. These car loads of agents travel up and down the streets of Clark County and park in front of one of the ten homes we'll be touring that day! (The neighbors near our tour homes are amazed. It's fun to watch their faces as we all pile out of the cars to go inside. Today I saw one man standing in his driveway staring at our "KW business parade" and his mouth kinda just dropped open.)

Broker Tour is actually fun! It's fun to examine all the beautiful listings that KW has for sale. It's fun to be with other people we work with at KW but don't get to see every day. (It's also educational, but the best part is that it's fun.) We go in the door and take off our shoes and explore through all the rooms of the house to check it out. We each have a "comment sheet" and make our professional remarks on them. We think about things such as how the house is presented, how it's priced, how well the house is maintained, the ammenities, the neighborhood, possible similiar solds in the area and also the market for that type of house. There are many other things that could come into play too, but we try to make a good judgement based on our short time in that home.

Would you like your home to star in our KW Business Tour Parade?? Call me!

It has 3 bedrooms, 2.1 baths, gas fireplace and open concept kitchen. It truly is a wonderful property!

Laurie is new to being a real estate agent and also has joined Keller Williams!!! We at KW call this kind of newbie a "spoiled brat." This isn't said in a rude way...it's a great compliment. Laurie chose Keller Williams and will benefit from all our outstanding DAILY educational programs, famous CAMPS, supportive culture! She is a "spoiled brat" because she didn't join another company and get started there first and then find out and join Keller Williams.

Please come out and support Laurie as she begins this new career journey. She has been so much fun to get to know and to work with at KW. I know she will be a Top Producer very soon!!
