Happy New Year!

As we reflect on the good fortune we have had this past year, we also anticipate that this new year will be even better. A part of good fortune is to be able to share with others. We have chosen www.DiscoverHopeFund.com and www.Casa-Latina.org as our dedicated charities.

Discover Hope Fund is a micro lender to woman owned small businesses in Cajamarca Peru. We were aware of the organization long before we ever had any correspondence with them. It was a coincidence that a client of ours had a fund raising event for the Discover Hope Fund. My wife saw an advertisement for the event at the clients home. We were thrilled to make a contribution, and to learn the actual name of the organization.

Casa Latina Day Worker center has been very near to my heart for over ten years. We have a company that prepares properties for sale at A Spring Cleaning. We began hiring day labor in 1999. Up until 1994 we had two contractors that we referred work to. The day worker concept began working better for us as the demand for our services grew. Casa Latina has grown with us by providing training in English and also business classes so day workers can become more self reliant.

Small business has proved to be the back bone of any economy. We can now see that our economies are global in scale. For us all economies need to grow together. Our focus is here in the Western Hemisphere. We’ve chosen Discover Hope Fund in Peru for our international global support, and Casa Latina Day Worker Center so we can act locally.

We have had a web site at www.PeruHope.com for many years. We are dedicating that site to these two causes this year. Hopefully you will find them as worthy of your support as we have.

About David Losh

In 1984 I got my Real Estate license and worked in a small company called Advance Properties. The owner was extremely interested in Real Estate, building, and land development. Most of his work was concentrated North of Seattle. Since the 1970s I had worked for Real Estate agents in Seattle as a contractor, mostly preparing properties for rent, and sale. After a few years my skill level increased considerably concerning land use, building code, and development practices. Escrow, and lending offices were housed at the Advance Properties building so it was easy to get involved in all aspects of Real Estate. It was very much a family owned, and operated business. Over the years my Real Estate license has been at a variety of Real Estate companies, and offices. Nothing compares to those early years, or that sense of family. Real Estate has gotten to be corporate owned. My hope with this blog is to share with you some of the things I've learned. If you have Real Estate needs, or want contractor help, I refer freely to what best suits you. If you should choose to work with me you'll find a great resource. My Real Estate license is at Skyline Properties in Northgate. Skyline is a locally owned company that is a desk fee office. There is a wide variety of diverse agents. It helps me with some of the other projects that I have, and mentoring that I do, to be able to work with people from other cultures. Here in Seattle we are close to Vancouver BC and are the gateway to China. Boeing has a great trade relationship with China, as does Microsoft have with all of Asia. We are a culturally diverse community, and it helps me to be invlolved.
