Today was a great reminder why I love this business so much!...
Today we closed on a home I had listed out in Lofall WA.
It was a nicely maintained Cedar-sided Ranch on acreage.
The owners had been trying to sell their home for nearly a year.
The first agent had the home listed for 6 months.
The second agent for 5 months.
I was fortunate to be Agent No. 3.
The owners were really great folks. But they were discouraged and frustrated.
They just wanted to achieve their retirement plans of moving to South Florida.
I assured them that I would do my best.
I had it under contract in 20 days.
But that's not Why I Love Being a Real Estate Professional in Kitsap County WA.
Implementing my marketing skills and succeeding where others have failed is simply icing on the cake.
The Buyers were represented by a part-time agent who lived on the far Eastern side of the State.
Between his day job and the remote nature of his location, his involvement and assistance in the transaction was a tad bit lacking.
The Buyer's Lender (an out-of-state Internet Lender) ended up contacting me directly in order to obtain information and documentation from the Buyers.
The Buyers called me on several occasions when things got a little stressful and they needed reassurance.
Today, after the transaction funded and recorded, I delivered the keys to the new owners.
I wish you could've seen the excitement and joy on their faces! The husband was smiling ear-to-ear. The wife was giddy as a child on Christmas morning!
As I drove away, the lump filled my throat.
That exact moment. That deep, abiding sense of joy and satisfaction.
That's Why I Love Being a Real Estate Professional in Kitsap County WA.

Being a licensed real estate professional here on the beautiful Kitsap Peninsula in scenic Washington State, I have the honor and privilege of serving a sizeable military community, consisting primarily of active-duty US Navy service members and their families stationed at Naval Base Kitsap.
As such, a large percentage of the Buyers and Sellers I represent are involved with VA Financing. As a Navy veteran and former submarine sailor, I know firsthand the benefits of using a VA home loan. We bought our first two homes using VA Financing. It's one of the few ‘Zero-Down‘ loan products still available in today's lending market.
Unfortunately, there are some potential pitfalls associated with VA financing, especially as it relates to VA Appraisals.

According to an article today on Forbes.com, it appears that the $8000 Federal Housing Tax Credit for First Time Home Buyers is very close to being extended!...
With everything else that's been going on out in Washington D.C. of late, i.e. massive debt to bailout Wall Street, dismal 'Cash for Clunkers' program, government take-over of Health Care, indecision on Afghanistan, etc., it's encouraging to see progress on legislation that is truly effective for a change, and makes a difference for taxpayers and the economy.

Providing knowledgeable empowerment and relentless representation for my clients throughout Western Puget Sound WA.
After spending most of my life climbing the ladder of corporate America, and spending entirely way too much time away from home and family, I decided a change was needed. I discoverd that real estate was a natural fit for my abilities and talents, and have thoroughly enjoyed my career choice ever since!
As a licensed Real Estate Professional my primary focus is to relentlessly represent my client's best interests and to assist them in achieving their goals.
I've been married for over 25 years to my wife, Janice, the most amazing woman on the planet! She's a gifted elementary school teacher and devoted Mother.
Together, we've been blessed with four totally awesome kids - Emily (21); Ben (20 and married to Alex); Elliot (18); and Luke (15).
Most of the time, you'll find me here at my computer, discovering yet another social network to join, or crafting my next literary blog masterpiece (yeah, right!).
Of all the places I've ever visited, nothing compares to the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
Here on the Kitsap Peninsula, we're surrounded by the clear deep waters of the Puget Sound. To the west is the Olympic Mountains, rising up dramatically from the shores of Hood Canal.
To our east, eclectic & hip Seattle, and the towering summit of Mt. Rainier. There is no better place on the planet to call home!
During the summer months, you'll find me in my boat out on Hood Canal, pulling up my crab pots, and soaking up the rays!
