The 75th Daffodil Parade will be held on Saturday April 12th! (In honor of my birthday)(Just kidding it's just a coincidence) The parade starts in Tacoma and goes through Puyallup, Sumner, and Orting. There will be close to 40 floats filled with Daffodils. Over 80 other entries, including marching bands, mounted units, ROTC groups etc.
The history of the Daffodil Parade is a long and rich. I have included a link that takes you to the Daffodil Parades history page.
The Children’s Daffodil Parade will be held April 5th. Starting at 10am in the Proctor District This will be the 47th. For more information click here.
The Daffodil Parade is one of Tacoma’s grand traditions and a source of civic pride. I hope to see many of you line the streets to watch the parade!

The available housing inventory in the Greater Tacoma Washington area has been increasing the past few months.
Recent number show that the inventory in the following areas has reached upwards of 14 months. The largest amount of inventory is in the Gig Harbor area with 16.7 months worth of inventory on the market.
Inventory levels are calculated by how many months it would take to sell the existing number of homes on the market at the current pace of home sales in the specific area.
I anticipate that the inventory levels will drop as we enter the spring and summer sales periods. With the existing inventory on the market there are many opportunities for buyers to find a home that will meet both their needs and their financial budget.

Today is that most special of days in Washington. I am sitting on my deck for the FIRST TIME THIS YEAR! That’s right it is sunny and not too cold and I am spending the afternoon catching up on emails and other tasks while sitting in the sun. I have some great Cuban music streaming through my wireless network and I am truly enjoying working!
In Tacoma we take our sunny days seriously. We don’t seem to get that many. I know that we actually have a great climate but it always seems like winter drags on way too long. What does this have to do with real estate? Glad you asked.
Technology has advanced so that with a small investment real estate agents can do their jobs from just about anywhere. A laptop that will do everything that the majority of us require can be purchased for less than $800.00 easily. Cell phones now have unlimited minutes for under $100.00 a month! I know that I am switching my plan to one of the unlimited plans this week. No more worrying if my cell phone bill will be more than the national debt of a small island country. Efaxes, scanners, and printers are all available and are portable. We can work anywhere.
A few months ago I wrote a post about whether real estate agents needed offices anymore. It sparked a small conversation about the value of an office for agents. I know that I cannot work from home 100% of the time. I am simply too easily distracted to be as productive as I need to be. However, I know that I don’t want to drive 30 miles roundtrip just to get a fax from the office. Having the technology to work from home is vital to my professional success and my personal happiness. Besides my office while nice and new doesn’t have a deck to sit on!
I hope that all of you are enjoying the sunny weather that you are having. If you’re not enjoying sunny weather don’t worry I won’t be enjoying it much longer. It is supposed to rain tomorrow…….

Do you own a classic or historic home in Tacoma Washington?
Have you wondered what it would take to put your home on the historic register? What are the requirements? What benefits would you receive for doing all that work? Historic Tacoma is co-sponsoring a lecture on March 13th. that you will want to attend.

Date: Thursday, March 13, 7-8:30pm
Location: Castle Hall, Knights of Pythias, 926 1/2 Broadway

Reuben McKnight, City of Tacoma Historic Preservation Officer and members of the Tacoma Landmarks Preservation Commission will describe what it takes to get your property on the Tacoma Register, the Secretary of the Interior's standards for the treatment of historic properties, the design review process, and financial incentives for property owners and developers. The session will include a question & answer period.
For more information on The City of Tacoma's historic preservation program see: www.tacomaculture.org/historic/home.asp
In doing research for this post I found out that there are already over 1300 homes in Tacoma that are already on one form of the historic register or another. This is just in Tacoma! Many homes are on the register because they are in historic districts within the city. Others like the building over here.
are on the register for their historical or architectural significance. There are over 140 specific buildings on the register. Some are quite funky, some are historically significant. All have had their history recorded on the historic register.
If you want to know more please attend this very important and valuable seminar on the 13th. of March.

“I have known Scott for a number of years beginning with our working together @ Starbucks Coffee Company. Our roles began in the same group and then diversified into different roles within IT but we have kept in close contact. Scott has always been enthusiastic in all of his endeavors and works very hard with a strong customer service ethic. His attention to detail and willingness to always learn something new and take his personal knowledge to the next step allows him to bring a high level of skill to any interaction. Knowing Scott as I do, I would not ever hesitate to recommend him as your next realtor." J.Hunger Edmonds, WA
“I've known Scott for many years, and have had countless opportunities to witness his qualities. As a Realtor, he's someone you can trust to recommend what best meets your needs, as well as what you want. He doesn't work from the standpoint of what makes money for him, but rather an honest care for what will make the happiest customer. I can honestly recommend him as an agent you can trust to give you accurate information and creative ideas.” T Phillips, Marysville, WA
“My wife and I are always looking for real estate investment opportunities. We live in San Jose, CA, so Scott is our eyes and ears in the Seattle/Tacoma area. Scott has a passion for what he does. His passion and energy combine to make him a valuable asset to anyone looking to buy a home or investment property in his region.” K Camozzi, San Jose, CA
