Happy Thanksgiving!

Everything!, Races, Real Estate | Posted by Cheri Diehl

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!   I’m truly blessed to be living at the beach, doing a job I love with my wonderful husband!  We’re busy working on the new office and you’ll all be invited to the grand opening, early in 2009!  Our new office is located at 1711 SW 18th St., Long Beach.  We’re right on the corner of 18th & Pacific Highway in the building currently housing Haff-Shell Antiques.  You might want to run down there and check out their 1/2 price sale.  They need to get moved so we can get in!  See the photos here.

WE CLOSED OUR FIRST SALE!  Thank you Soni (our happy seller) and Jerry & Marilyn, the happy buyers!  Marilyn says: “We also wanted to thank you for taking such good care of us as our real estate agent.  Congratulations on starting your own business.  We will highly recommend you.  We hope to see you from time to time in Long Beach.  We can hardly wait to start building a house!”

We’re looking forward to many more sales!  Watch this space for info on several new listings for December!

We had a great visit to Phoenix (my first trip) and although the weather was wonderful, it’s good to be back home.  We did get to visit with our grandson, Andy Rogers, who is a student at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, AZ while we were crewing for a Porsche at the races!

There is so much going on in December that I don’t know where to start!  Christmas at the Port of Ilwaco,   Christmas Lights and music in Long Beach, the Boys and Girls Club Home Tour, PAA Studio Tour, and a Holiday Quilt Show are just a few of the festivities you won’t want to miss.  Please visit Funbeach.com for up-to-date info!

Want to know what the market is like here at the beach?  Read this article from the Chinook Observer.  While times are still tough, optimism is high!  READ THE ARTICLE HERE.

If you’re following the real estate market these links are where you can find listings and sales since my last post. These are new listings and sales in South Pacific County.  The map is a link to areas like Wahkiakum County, Bay Center, etc.  It saves you the trouble of searching on your own. The links are good for 30 days.

Just a reminder that I have access to all properties in our area. Ocean front, bay front, view, little bitty lots, acreage, commercial, residential, you name it! See a sign? Call me for more info! I hope that this blog and the pages you’ll find on it are helpful to you. If so, let me know. Share with a friend.
