Bellevue Real Estate Agent Recognized on Top 20 List in the Nation
Wendy Lister a Bellevue based real estate agent has been recognized in the Wall Street Journal as the 19th highest volume real estate agent in the country. With over 35 years of experience she has become quite a staple in the area, and has racked up quite the list of awards for her unmatched performance.
Many of Wendy’s colleges on the list are from major US cities such as New York and Chicago. It is great to see a Bellevue agent being recognized in a group of this caliber! Interesting to note that there were no agents in the Seattle area listed in the top 50.
Seattle Recognized as a “bright light” Real Estate Market
Despite the national news, which leans dramatically towards slowing real estate sales, signs in our neck of the woods still point to growth opportunity on the Eastside. Especially with the use of digital signage solutions, which can help boost company’s profile and allow them to connect better with clients, it comes as no surprise that the real estate industry is doing well once again.
In a National Association of Realtor’s convention this week in Las Vegas it was stated that on a national scale that the real estate housing boom is over.
Having said that Lawrence Yun, the group’s chief economist suggested that Seattle would continue to be, “one of the bright lights” in the real estate market. He continued to suggest that our market could potentially be joining cities such as New York and San Francisco as “superstar cities”.
Anyone who believes the predictive abilities of Lawrence Yun, I have a house I want to sell you. Ha Ha. Seriously, the declines may be less, but they are already here or right around the corner.
Here’s a good post on housing ‘fundamentals’:

The Seattle Times reporte, “real-estate experts expect Seattle will be the second-best commercial real-estate market in the nation in 2008”, yesterday in the Business Briefs. The credit crunch is everywhere and we will, no doubt, start feeling it soon. We’re just a bit behind is all.
