Welcome Summer!

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

I’ve been enjoying the sunshine when Mother Nature allows it to shine here at the beach.  Although it has been cloudy, the weather has been comfortable and the rain is warmer!

Be sure to check our newest exclusive listing in Seaview!

img_0015 We enjoyed our MG Rally and while we didn’t take any prizes, we did come in less than 3 minutes behind first place!  Plenty of rain as we navigated our way from Wilsonville to Fort Columbia here at the beach.

I was flattered to get this article mailed to me from John Valentine of the MG Car Club North West Centre.  Do YOU know what an MG is?

What a beautiful day at the beach!

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

It just doesn’t get any better than this. Sunshine, blue skies, light breeze… This is what we live for! Took advantage of it on Sunday to putter in the yard but the weather was just too great to ignore the fact that my MG was sitting quietly in the shop, battery on trickle charge, waiting for me. So, I hopped in and took off. Stopped in Long Beach for the Peninsula Art Association Art Show! What a fantastic display. I even made a purchase for my new office. The photographer is my friend, George Power. What a good eye. img_0002









So, after that I cruised up 103 to Ocean Park for a latte and my very favorite chocolate covered biscotti at Full Circle Cafe.  Feeling very cheerful, I decided it was time to head home and mow the lawn.  The car, being British, didn’t see it my way and I only made it about 4 blocks before it stopped and refused to stay running more than 30 seconds at a time.

Since Charlie was away for a vintage car race in California – Sears Point – I whipped out my trusty AAA card, spent 1-1/2 hours relaxing while I waited for the tow truck and still got home in time to mow the lawn!

But, enough about me.  How about some clam dates?

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.
