messagrouprealestate #testimonial Our hearts are full knowing that we’ve helped some pretty amazing people along their real estate journeys 🥰

messagrouprealestate Alicia was nominated!! Have you heard about the #BeKindSV month of Kindness? People are being asked to submit nominations for those in their lives, a child, teacher, coworker or community member, who spreads kindness to those around them. Nominations submitted for Alicia to #BeKindSV: "Alicia serves in just about every corner of the greater Snoqualmie Valley. From her heart to her hands, she finds ways to bring significance to people that may feel unseen. Whether she is packing backpacks, collecting coats, attending community events and meetings that connect the businesses or trying to find just the right home for people to come and live and love in the valley - Alicia is all in. She continues to promote and actively sews together the threads that connect so many. She Sees the Heart of Kindness, Shares the Heart of Kindness, and Lives Out the Heart of Kindness in all that she does. Thank you, Alicia, for the impact that you are making." "Best person I know. Always helping, giving and the embodiment of kindness." To say Alicia is touched by these nominations is a complete understatement. She had no idea what her life here in the valley would look like when she first moved here back in 2012. She feels so fortunate to have established her home here in the valley and feels that it is because of this amazing community and everyone here that she was inspired and moved to get involved. She absolutely loves this community, and feels blessed to be able to work and play here in the valley, and wishes you all a very Happy Holiday Season! There's still time, if you want to nominate someone, or want to attend the FREE movie this Sunday, click the link in our bio!

messagrouprealestate Happy Thanksgiving everyone 🦃 #thanksgiving #thanksgivingdinner #thanks

messagrouprealestate PENDING in Snoqualmie! This is one that, if all goes as planned, will be the most epic and amazing story to tell of Alicia & Kris' real estate career! This is a story about 1) a homeowner overwhelmed with the thought of getting prepared to sell his home, 2) a friend of the homeowner who is an out of state real estate agent, 3) a local valley agent that was referred to the homeowner by the friend, 4) Alicia & Kris, who were referred to the homeowner by the local valley agent because he had concerns he would not be able to help the homeowner, 5) the overwhelm of the homeowner, afraid of making a wrong decision, causing many months to pass by, 6) another out of state friend of the homeowner's who drove into town to see how he could help, which ultimately led to him making an offer to buy the home so the homeowner could move on without making any further decisions or putting any more money into the property, 7) Alicia & Kris getting word, at the same time as the offer was being discussed and negotiated, that an amazing family in the community was desperately in need of a rental home to move into ASAP and their need to keep the rent under market value, 8) the homeowner's friend, the one buying the property, not caring about getting market rent, but rather only wanting the rent to cover their mortgage payment. Ultimately, this whole experience has reminded us that there really are people out there that want to help others by lending a hand in whatever way they can, not only to those they know, but to anyone that might need the help. It has been beautiful to watch it all unfold, almost seemlessly! This whole crazy set of circumstances didn't just happen by mistake...there is just no way...AND, in the month of November, which just happens to be #BEKINDSV month in the Snoqualmie Valley!! Magic is in the air, friends! And it is totally going to spread like wildflowers throughout the valley...and hopefully BEYOND!! Our dear homeowner has absolutely no idea just exactly what he has put into motion. And Alicia & Kris are in awe...and totally enjoying being along for the ride and watching all the lives being touched and given amazing new opportunities! #realestate

messagrouprealestate When Alicia and her husband made the decision to move into their home in Harmon Heights instead of rent it, there were many things that Alicia wanted changed...that weren't in the plan originally as a rental. The kitchen was a BIG change! They ended up reorienting it so that it could fit a huge island facing the window. A huge shout out to Jesse Benkel w/ @jessebenkel.interiors for helping with this vision...couldn't have done it without her! And, counters done by Jeremy @pacificsilver with Standard Countertops…they are absolutely beautiful!! #kitchendesign #kitchenideas
