I have lived in the Marysville area for 25 years and I love it! I help families buy and sell homes in Marysville every day, and I love what I do. I have teamed up with a financial educator named Dan Keller who helps my clients make smart mortgage decisions every day...
Marysville has a lot to offer families moving into the area. Dan and I have teamed up to create a dynamite relocation packet for anyone moving into the area. Where are the best parks? the best places to eat? What are the numbers for the City of Marysville? Schools? Local banks? Where should I shop? Who are the biggest employers in town? Our many years of experience in the Marysville area have gone into this relocation kit! Call me at 425-359-2708, or visit my website at www.odayhomes.com and send me an e-mail. The kit is free and a valuable resource!
I specialize in helping first time buyers find the right home in Marysville. Teaming up with Dan has made the home buying process less stressful.. E-mail Dan at dan.mortgageadvisor@gmail.com
Now is such a terrific time to buy! Looow interest rates and low prices in Marysville. New homes from the low 200's is incredible.
Many of my clients are using the USDA loan program! Certain areas of Marysville qualify for a zero down, no Private Mortgage Insurance loan...saving my buyers thousands!!!
Need a Marysville expert (and someone who lives in the community?)

After our last staff meeting, I realized the importance of getting together. Oh I remember the Buffinni "100 Days to Greatness" and how we all pledged that we would stay together as a group and never break up.... Well, here we are 10 months later and no group. Every man/ woman/ child for him/her self! seems to be the new battle cry..
We really need to be getting together in small groups. Come on, how likely is it that the tip you shared with the group today is going to translate into me getting the edge on you and stealing your clients and or listings?
Getting together allows us to vent, and, instead of isolating ourselves, we are held accountable. Instead of quietly putting our heads in the sand and ignoring the world (and our clients, potential business, etc) we have to face each other. So everyone, get a small group going. Now is the time to make your office the "Most Trusted Office full of Trusted Real Estate Advisors" in your market......
Well, folks, I have taken on a new and very fun weekend pastime. I am sitting here in my shower cap at a new construction site! Many of you out there hate sitting new construction sites... Here are some great ways to keep busy:
One thing that has helped me out tremendously, is watching what I eat. No fast food, or other heavy, greasy gut bombs that zap my energy. Whole wheat sandwiches and granola bars and water instead of coffee!!!
Keep up the good work. All we have to do is keep providing value to our clients and when this housing "crisis" is over, we will be our clients trusted real estate advisors for life!!!!!!
I have a new business card idea that people love. I have my logo imprinted on custom made poker chips!
When I meet clients, I give them one. They end up being around .50 cents each, so I am careful with how many I hand out!
What a great conversation starter! They truly help in getting people to open up. If they like casinos and gambling, even better. If they are not fans of poker or gambling, I quickly mention that they are business cards that can go through the wash and survive the process!
I always get a great response from them, and they are well worth the expense. I used them in a cool pop by gift this summer as well.
It was a small round aquarium (like you would see a beta fish living in) with an open top. They were glass, and I filled them 1/2 full of sand. I put some shells on the top of the sand, and then placed a "sign" (Popsicle stick with hot glued business card on one side and a personal message on the other. Also included in the "fish bowl" was a small tube of sunscreen. The personal message then said "Don't get burned by using the wrong Realtor!
Man, were they a hit. Cost me about $2 each for everything. Had the fmaily help me assemble them and gave them out to my best source of referrals!
Now that summer is gone, I guess I need a new pop by idea. Any ideas for a great fall pop-by?
At a recent meeting for The New Home Team, someone brought up the governor's race in our beautiful state of Washington. Two candidates, on the incumbent. The other, a real estate agent!
Which one is going to be more freindly to housing, real estate agents, licensing, mortgage issues, and the like? Probably the real estate agent.... BUT, what if a person likes the incumbent more on a personal level.
Do we have to put aside our personal beliefs and desires as to who we would like to see in office?
I believe we do, sometimes. If it is good for our business, we need to vote with our commission checks, not our personal agenda!
Without "selling out", how do we decide how to find the balance between what is good for business and what we personally feel is the right candidate?
