IT LIST: December 2020

To my friends, loved ones, and clients,

Welcome to December! I hope your holiday season is filled with lots of love and joy. 2020 has been a year of uncertainty, but there is plenty to be thankful for: our health, loved ones and friends, and the importance of community and togetherness. As the New Year approaches, I plan to take time to reflect on my goals and set new ones. I encourage you all to do the same!

In this month’s IT List, I'm pleased to share the latest updates around my current listings, real estate trends in Seattle, a wonderful new marketing tool, and some client love. In this month's IT Pick .... If you're ready to discuss real estate goals for 2021, my (virtual) door is always open! Let's connect.

Happy Holidays!

"Laura was an absolute pleasure to work with, and gave us fantastic advice through the process of buying our home. We're excited to work with her again in the future!"
Choose Happiness
Happiness is a choice, and there are a thousand ways to choose it!

2020 has showed us a lot of repetition, but how we respond to our day-to-day situations is how we choose our own happiness. You've heard it before: "You can't choose how other people react, but you can choose how you react."

Watch this lovely young lady speak on why she begins each day by choosing happiness.

Luxury is an experience, not a price point.
