Last week, I had the pleasure of attending a preview of Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty's new Bainbridge Island branch, “Island Living Gallery” at 240 Winslow Way East. Occupying approximately one half of the Old Hardware Store – a nostalgic icon of Bainbridge Island heritage built in 1948 – our global real estate brand is poised for growth. RSIR will collaborate with the adjoining restaurant and bar Bruciato, operated by famed chef and Bainbridge Island resident Brendan McGill of Hitchcock, which is set to open by the end of the year. A public grand opening celebration will take place in the New Year. To hear more about upcoming events, please contact me directly!

Last Thursday, I hosted a private event at my home for top Seattle Realogics SIR brokers to celebrate the upcoming opening of the Madison Park Office, Park House. It was a great opportunity to connect with top brokers, including Regional VP of Sotheby's International Realty, Cal Lyford. From a champagne toast and delicious bites by Belle Epicurian to brainstorming business ideas for the coming year, a great time was had by all. We even got a sneak peak of office renderings, including the very sophisticated interior design work. I truly cannot wait to bring my clients to this jewel box of an office!

Listen to how Khan plans to take this complicated subject and turn struggling students into scholars by helping them master concepts at their own pace.”
