Real Estate Brokers Tour Diary: Paninis!

If your home has accessible options like grab bars be sure to put them in the MLS description

One of the things I love about going on a real estate broker's tour with several other agents from our office is that we each look at the homes with different "glasses." I'm always looking for homes that offer great aging in place options (like the grab bar in the photo) or older homes with a sweet history. One of the other agents is always on the look out for homes that an investor would appreciate. A second always has the viewpoint of his clients' sports interests. And a third loves both the intriguing kitchens AND the food they often serve for our broker's tours. Yummy! This week, all of … Continue reading...

Sharing Real Estate Homes, Ideas, and Food Fun with You

A gorgegous view from the house in Pierce County Washington

Broker Tours. Have you ever heard of those? Generally held once a week, they're an opportunity for real estate agents in each office to head out together, in one or more cars, and visit various homes - often ones that have just been listed. They're a lot of fun as we enjoy visiting the various houses. They often have yummy goodies like Panini sandwiches, potato chips, or my personal fave - chocolate brownies! Delish! More importantly, they are a great resource for REALTORS® as we get to learn about several homes for sale in the area at one time, giving us a "birds eye view" of options and … Continue reading...

Lovely Aging In Place Options In These Two Homes For Sale

What a grand view from this condo in Central Tacoma Washington

Several of my fellow Keller Williams REALTORS® and I enjoyed a delightful morning previewing some of the great homes for sale in our neck of the woods. As always, I was especially on the alert for any homes with aging in place options to share with you. It was a tasty time (yummy cupcakes at two of the open houses), we enjoyed previewing both houses and condos, and I was very pleased to see two with some thoughtful aging-in-place options. One beautiful residence was in a gated community with a delightful view of a creek rippling through the community. This two-story dwelling had a … Continue reading...

A Gorgeous Walk That’s Healthy and Relaxing

A gorgeous view on my walk at University Place Washington in Pierce County WA - call Kaye Swain for your real estate needs.jpg

A delightful day and a lovely walkway around a gorgeous golf course recently. I noticed many others who were also enjoying the lovely walk and the lovely view. By the lovely "magic" of Google maps, here's the monument at one end of this walkway. It's a lovely walk you're sure to enjoy. So next time you're over in that neck of the woods, do have a lovely and healthy walk with a view to make your day extra beautiful! And yes, I saw plenty of pleasant dogs (and granddogs) walking their owners with a leash. :) … Continue reading...

Do Real Estate Prices Have Anything to Do With Super Bowl Appearances???

I have a really cute post for you today, thanks to Andy Fulton and Market Leader - a grand company my Keller Williams Realty real estate office works with closely to provide great service and assistance to all of our real estate clients! Football fever is higher than high right now thanks to the exciting playoffs this weekend. I'll freely admit, I'm not a big sports fan. But with two mega sports fans in my family who each have a team in the playoffs (Broncos and 49ers) coupled with the very blue, very loud, very proud Seattle Seahawks (I do love the color BLUE :) ), I've even been caught up … Continue reading...

Are You Thinking of Selling Your Home This Spring? The Time to Jump Into Preparation is Now!

Pink flowers in spring give good curbside appearance when selling your home in Pierce County Washington or elsewhere

Are you thinking of selling your home this spring? I shared some preparation tips at my ActiveRain site. Here are some more preparation suggestions to help you get a jump start on spring! In addition to deep-cleaning and decluttering, this is an excellent time to take a good look at every room for repair needs and issues. I would encourage you to talk to your REALTOR® to see if they have any suggestions, tips, or resources to help you with this process. My wonderful real estate agents in past years were able to help me with a wonderful painter who's work was great, prices were awesome, and … Continue reading...

Spotlight on One of My Grandkids Favorite Parks

Talk about awesome parks! This one definitely lives up to that! And the number of kids (and parents) there each time we have visited (on hot days AND cold), attests to that! And boy, this park is huge as well as cool (340 acres)! My grandkids favorite part is the playground with swings, loops to hang from, steering wheels in faux cars - train - and boat. It's great for young imaginations. I appreciate the many benches to sit on while enjoying the lovely vista of the grandkids playing with their many new and old friends. I also appreciate the restrooms and drinking fountains right beside the … Continue reading...

Use These iPhone Apps to Create Fun Cards And Home Video Tours Spotlighting Unique Options Like Aging-In-Place Accessories

This could make a cute greeting card or post card for a real estate agent or a grandparent .jpg

One of my joys during this past holiday season was getting to see all my grandkids. One set lives nearby and we had several fun get-togethers. The rest of my grandkids live quite a ways away but I got to visit them twice. And I only had to do the driving one of those times! Yay! :) The second time I enjoyed grand conversation, fun football tutorials, and even had a chance to check out some of the apps I've been downloading (many free) to give me even more grand ways to help my real estate clients (not to mention find more grand goodies for the grandkids). I ended up throwing several iPhone … Continue reading...
