There are a few posts about shopping, and neighborhoods on this blog. When people buy a home they are usually buying into a lifestyle that they want. People want a community.
When I first bought it was close to where I grew up. It was the best place I could think of. My second house was a little further East by about two miles, and the house we live in now is about a mile East of that. In twenty five years I have lived within three miles of where I grew up.
It comes down to life style, for me. It also gives my kids the perspective of me, and how I grew up. Their circumstances are different, I hope better, but in my opinion it gives them a sense of who we are.
We all have an idea of the life style we want. To achieve that it is important to have a written goal in mind. When you invest in your community it should be for your own satisfaction. It makes no difference what you think is important. You should ultimately be able to live the life you want.
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.
