Mayor's Day of Concern for the Hungry

Purple Light Nights is an event that started in Covington, WA in 2007. The event has grown nationally with fourteen other states now participating in the 3rd Annual Purple Light Nights campaign.
Purple Light Nights runs during the month of October, and the goal is to remember 494 domestic violence homicide victims in Washington State (from 1997 - 2008) and give hope to those 
who are still living with abuse. The color purple is recognized as the international color symbolic of domestic violence.
Participating in Purple Light Nights is easy. Just replace your porch light with a purple light or string up some purple lights along your house or business. Both light bulbs and strings of lights are available for purchase at the Covington City Hall. Light bulbs sell for $3.00 or two for $5.00, and string lights are $30.00 each.
Businesses or families may also sponsor a tree for $100.00. Street trees in the Covington Place shopping center will be covered in purple lights throughout the month of October and a recognition sign for each sponsor will be placed at the base.
For more information or to place an order you can call Victoria at 253-638-1110 at ex 2237 or you can send an email to pln@ci.covington.wa.us. Proceeds benefit the CDVTF who have provided 60 bed nights, food boxes, cell phones, and gas vouchers to keep women and children safe.
Happy Almost Friday...
To all those that read my quotes every Friday, I am sorry I am running late this week. I am happy to report that things have just been busy in the real estate world of late, and yesterday just got away from me.
And then today I took a "play day" with my family!! My husband and I spent the day with our daughter and her new husband. We met for coffee this morning, went to the Fremont Beerfest, stopped by 1/2 Price Books Everything is a dollar warehouse sale and finished up with dinner. Wow, so fun to have them back in the Seattle area!
So though I am late, I hope you enjoy this weeks selection of quotes. Have a great day and I will see you next Friday.

My Business Style
Being a Real Estate Professional is my full time career, it is my passion. I dedicate myself to listening to my clients, understanding their needs, and providing them with the personal service that they expect and deserve. I am high-energy yet patient, conscientious, detail-oriented and genuinely concerned about my clients; always striving to earn their trust and loyalty. I believe in honesty and hard work, setting high standards and always striving for excellence. My goal is to be my clients trusted advisor, providing them with service that is above and beyond their expectations and in the end build a lasting relationship that will result in being their life-long Real Estate Agent.
Referrals
When I became a realtor, I knew of the traditional ways to acquire clients: cold calling, door knocking, holding open houses, manning the phones at the office, etc., but I wanted something more. I didn't want my job to be searching for people I could "talk" into buying a house. So I have built and continue to build my business off referrals. I dedicate my time and energy to my current clients and I find that by working off referrals from present and past clients my time can be used working with and for those clients instead of being out of the office soliciting business. The biggest compliment comes when my clients or other agents trust me enough to refer their family and friends.
Why me?
There are many Realtors, so why work with me? One, I value my clients trust and I promise to work for them as if I was working for myself. I am reliable, personable, easy to talk to and genuinely love to help others. Secondly, because owning my own home has been one of the greatest joys of my life and I want to share that with others. And lastly, beyond my expertise as a realtor, my own life experiences help me to understand what my clients are feeling. I have been that nervous, anxious, scared first time home buyer, have had a house built, and have purchased that "fixer-upper". I have had the excitement of having our house sell the first day the sign went up in the yard, as well as the stress of having a home on the market for over a year. I have bought and sold in the same area, and have relocated across the country. Whatever my clients need - my personal commitment to them is that I will be aware of their emotions and desires and will do everything I can to make sure they have a successful real estate experience. I want to be not just their realtor, but their guide and mentor as they implement their lifetime plan for real estate ownership.
