WhooHoo... after much ado Shelley Granger and I are very happy to announce the opening of our new Wenatchee real estate office. Thursday, August 14th was our first official day.
As is apparent from the logo at left, the name of our new company is Willinger Real Estate, a result of combining our last names (Williams and Granger).
We will focus on single family residential sales and listings, as well as multi-family and investor properties. Incredible customer service is our main objective.
We will continue with property management and soon be able to offer our services to Condo Home Owners Associations (HOA's) as well.
Currently, the company consists of Shelley, me and one other agent, Candy Armstrong. Candy has reactivated her real estate license, which she has had for about 29 years. Until recently she has been focusing on and keeping busy as a full time appraiser. She's now ready to get back into sales and assist us with all phases of the business.
It's been a literal whirlwind of activity getting all the legal logistics of setting up the company but stay tuned for more new and exciting developments.
Have a great week-end!

Ken Blodgett, a major figure in the evolution of the Wenatchee riverfront development planning has put 4.7 acres up for sale for 3.5 million dollars. This is property that was slated for condos.
Blodgett's listing agent, Ron Stephenson of Premier One Properties, was quoted as saying: "The reason he decided to do it is because he's 68 years old and he decided he needed to kick back."
Does Blodgett see the need for additional condos slowing? Will all the recent condo conversions in Wenatchee and new builds (around town and at the riverfront) sustain market demand for a while?
Here is a link to the complete article from the local newspaper, The Wenatchee World.
It will be interesting to see how much interest there is for the property and how soon development will proceed. It's an exciting piece of property for sure for the entity with the ambition and money to take it on!
Have a wonderful day!

Here is a group of additional Youth Parade photos from this mornings event. The police cars and fire trucks always lead off the Parade.
This years theme was "A Slice of Paradise" which, of course, is a combination of honoring the apple industry and a play on words for the way we feel about life in Wenatchee... our own little piece of paradise.
After unseasonably cold weather so far this Spring (including snow last Saturday for the Wenatchee Marathon), we had a beautiful day for the kids parade.
The Hispanic groups banner said "Education Without Borders".
I am always amazed at how many people line the entire parade route which is a couple miles long. The early placement of chairs along the Grand Parade route (which is next Saturday) as early as late March is a bit of an anomaly in Wenatchee.
eek before the parade working on it.
