Neale, and Harry Obedin

Real Estate is a long haul business. People who work “in the business” tend to own and manage properties along the way. Neale, and Harry Obedin did just that. Neale is the Real Estate agent and Harry owns Samaras Property Management.

These are dedicated hard working people. There isn’t really anything fancy about them, they have jobs that they are good at, and look to have some fun along the way. They are both grounded, common sense, honest talkers who have a wealth of knowledge.

When you look at properties listed by Neale you know it’s a solid house, priced well. There’s none of that second guessing that it’s too expensive, or too cheap; it’s fair, and a good value. Neale appreciates property. She is as knowledgeable about site placement as well as construction for the era, no matter what era.

Harry has always been active in the politics of Real Estate. I was surprised that Samaras Property Management was his company. I knew it, I have met him several times over the years, but he has always been Harry, rather than the great company he built.

I should do a separate post about good property management. It’s an art to maintain property properly without breaking the bank, and giving a good value. Dealing with both land lords, and renters is a hair pulling experience. It’s like being constantly in grade school. Rent must be the hardest check to write, and land lords think we are in a time of lords, and masters. In reality it’s a business that gives both sides an advantage, over the course of time.

So, Neale, and Harry compliment each other, support each other’s business, and have been the best value you can get. Many fortunes have been made with them, and I hope they continue to be what the Real Estate business ought to be.

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.
