Walk In The Park Wednesday – Week 2
Today is week two of my five week series called “Walk in The Park Wednesday” where I’m highlighting my favorite parks in Normandy Park. Let’s take a walk! #WalkInTheParkWednesday
Housing Gridlock Grips Markets Close to Job Center
Housing Prices continue to rise due to the lack of inventory throughout King County. Many homebuyers are getting priced out of Seattle neighborhoods and are expanding their home search criteria to include neighborhoods like Normandy Park, Burien and Des Moines. The market in our area is now very active. Homes are selling quickly and for top dollar- but some still consider these neighborhoods a bargain.

Normandy Park’s 30 Acre Woods
I take my dogs on the Walker Preserve trails in Normandy Park almost everyday. I love walking here! It feels like my very own 30 Acre Woods. This natural wooded preserve is maintained by neighborhood volunteers. I’m so grateful for their contribution to our community.

Normandy Park Realtor Becomes Empty Nester and Neighborhood Blogger
Today marks the one month anniversary since my son Zach moved away to college. I won’t lie…it was hard the first couple of days he was gone. I cried, wandered in and out of his room, stared at my husband and two dogs and thought to myself, now what?
I started selling real estate when my son was two years old. It was hectic and at times I wasn’t above dragging him along on appointments, throwing him in the car to drive by a new listing or bribing him with the offer of a new toy if he would just be quiet while mommy finished her project, phone call or….you get the idea.
As my son got older he helped me with technology. He explained posts, tweets and snaps; He showed me how to work my I-phone and download my first App. Admittedly, his help often came with a roll of the eyes and a look that said “I can’t believe you don’t know how to do this, Mom!” I wondered out loud before he left, “Who is going to help me with this stuff when you’re not here?”
Well, I’ve been an empty nester for 1 month now and I’m proud to say I’m doing fine. I’m on fast-forward with plans to integrate more technology into my Real Estate business. My son taught me the basics: when you need to know something, you Google it; when you want to learn how to do something, you pull up a You Tube video; and when you have something to say, you tweet or blog about it.
First up is my new blog, LOVING LIFE IN NORMANDY PARK, where I’ll introduce you to my neighborhood and tell you why I’m so passionate about living and selling homes here. Grab a jacket and let’s go. It’s a beautiful time of year for a walk in the park.
