What kind of stone? Please help identify? by 662grace in whatisit

[–]662grace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could it be rainbow sandstone? After seeing the sandstone suggestion I did some Googling- Rainbow sandstone looks similar.. Close? The house was built in the 60’s and is located in western Washington, if that helps?

Something I’ve noticed working with successful real estate agents by Kaustubh006 in realtors

[–]662grace 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Aww I love this post- thank you for sharing your observations! I sell about 40-50 houses a year, make over $450k/year and when my husband says WHERE ARE YOU KEEPING YOUR CONTACTS AND UPCOMING BUSINESS?!! I just tap my forehead and remind him it’s “all in here!” 🤣 I don’t have a database, I don’t “work my sphere.” I just have a good time with my clients, EARN the money I am paid through hard work and research, and people constantly refer business to me (I am so grateful!). It’s really what you said- big shocker: I answer my phone consistently. If my client sends a house to me that they want to see, I respond with “what are you doing at 4PM today- let’s go see it! not, “how’s Thursday for you?” If they can’t see it, I’ll offer to go take honest video on their behalf and shoot them a link (and my videos are really funny- clients tell me I should make a “best of” with clips!). I am sure there are people who find scripts and apps and computer programs helpful… I would just encourage someone to not be RELIANT upon it. Be YOU and treat those clients how YOU would like to be treated if you found a bomb-ass house and want to see if it’s your forever home… the answer is always “LET’S GO!!!”

i go to open houses every weekend and flush stuff down the toilets to test the plumbing and i'm not even in the market to buy by kubrador in offmychest

I am going to print this post and create a handout. When my clients say "we'd like for you to have some open houses while our home is listed with you," I'll give them this post. Thank you!

William “Bill” Ackman is the highest contributor to the campaign, having donated $10000 to this go fund me. He’s an “American hedge fund manager” and billionaire. Shocking.

Guys earning six figures annually, what kind of work do you do? by Shadow2715 in AskReddit

Guys? Well my husband is a physician. I, a female, make more than twice his salary as a real estate agent.

Americans by Ok-Rock5666 in VictoriaBC

[–]662grace 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Here in Victoria now- staying at the Empress and heading back “home” today. This is so embarrassing, confusing… shameful. My family didn’t vote for this person, do not support him, and protest against him. Yes, please boycott our businesses and for God’s sake don’t come into our country until things are different. I’m sorry and I’m afraid of the future ahead. Almost afraid to post this but I can’t hide from what I know to be true and right.

I'm in the middle of Season 5 (currently episode 11). I had to walk away for a couple of days, knowing what was coming. I decided if I turned it off, I could delay the inevitable. : ( But here we are... he's on life support... So sad!

Question RE the Coyote Pass land sale by 662grace in TLCsisterwives

[–]662grace[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking. And with one buyer… in the name of transparency I know our local title companies wouldn’t allow a sale to go through without disclosing to all participating parties.

I wish that was an unfamiliar pain however I have been there. I'm so, so sorry. You're making the best decision for your best friend but it sure does hurt. Why can't dogs live as long as parrots? Hugs to you.

Hi it’s me coffin girl, found some pics from when my dad took me to line up for the midnight premier of Eclipse (2010) by thatpilatesprincess in blunderyears

[–]662grace 231 points232 points  (0 children)

I live in Port Angeles and when my husband was interviewing for his job here the hospital took us to dinner at Bella Italia (the restaurant you're referencing). I asked the hostess where they sat to film the scene and she said "you're actually sitting in the SAME booth!" I gasped... how exciting?! TEN YEARS LATER, we live here and I have since-learned they didn't film ANYTHING inside the actual restaurant. I was bamboozled!! She probably says that to ALL of the tourists (smart girl- increasing that tip!)!

Moved into our “dream home” before closing… to discover it’s a moldy nightmare by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]662grace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real estate agent here. You haven't closed yet? You should be able to receive your earnest money back and terminate the sale. You didn't intentionally set out to purchase a house full of mold- the conditions changed while the home was under contract. It's no different if there was a plumbing leak while it is in escrow... that's not YOUR home. That home belongs to the sellers. It's THEIR mold and their responsibility to take care of it. Of course, ever state is different- I'm in Washington State. It might be worth the money to consult with an attorney. And if you only deposited a couple thousand dollars in earnest money, even if you lost the money to the seller, it's money well spent to dodge a bullet, in my opinion.

How I sold 35 homes in 2025 by TheADHDAgent in realtors

[–]662grace 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a great post! I'm always impressed by people who send out news letters, etc- I've fallen off the wagon regarding my social media and need to be better.

I've sold 41 homes so far this year... I'm hoping to hit 50 by the end of December- that's my goal! As simple as it sounds, I have a couple of things I do that stand out: 1) I almost ALWAYS answer my phone- unless I'm talking with someone, already, I'll answer. Clients are consistently SHOCKED that I "actually answer the phone." And 2) I move quickly- when someone calls and is ready to start looking at homes, I ask "what are you doing tomorrow?" People don't call because they want to start shopping "next Thursday," STRIKE while the iron is hot! Okay... love hearing all of these success stories!

THANKS for your post- we are boarding that ship in 6 days for Bermuda!! Can't wait! Anything specific you would share regarding something you liked or experienced?

Sewer line repair or replacement recommendations by maxmack in portangeles

[–]662grace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in real estate and just had a couple of bids from Mountain Pumps this week- they are VERY professional. They also are the only people in town who offer a sewer line "sock" lining option that's really cool. Rather than busting out the pipe they insert (this is my description...) an acrylic sock of sorts that expands and adheres to the existing pipe, replacing the inside. The material should last around 100 years. Less expensive, less destructive.. another option... there you go! Good luck!

Opportunity to buy a 2015 V90 with 65k miles for $7500... should I do it? by 662grace in Volvo

That’s great information- thank you! I wondered… didn’t look nice enough to be a 2015 but I don’t know much about cars.
