Welcome to the September issue of Seattle Real Producers! 

We are so excited to bring you another month of highlighting amazing brokers and partners.

If you feel anything like we do, we are so sad to see the summer coming to a close. Each year seems to fly by, but the summer months feel like the blink of an eye. Our biggest hope is that every hardworking and dedicated agent that receives this publication was able to find some downtime. 

We can all agree that the PNW is the best place to be in the summer. Everything is still green and thriving and, although it can get hot, it's somewhat mild compared to the rest of the country. Whether you long to be on the water, hiking in the mountains, or simply enjoying the company of family and friends, our summers are the best.

In every single one of my initial meetings with a quality broker I love asking the question, "What's it all for?" So many Real Producers work extremely hard for their families and earn the right to have some relaxation in the summer. I know it's a rare occasion to completely shut off the email, but we hope you got to do that at least once this summer!

This month our cover feature, Neda Perrina, has an amazing story of success as she pivoted from a management role into real estate and never looked back. What we loved learning about Neda was her willingness to give back to her community and those in need. Our agent spotlight, Wendy Klinker, is an amazing story as well of overcoming a major hardship in her life. She had the grit and determination to find her niche in real estate and is now thriving in our industry.

We bring you a Notable Home presented by Wes Jones that has exquisite architecture and is definitely worth touring and showing to your clients in the market. Our featured nonprofit, Literary Source, serves a need that not many of us consider on a daily basis. And finally, a Sponsor Spotlight on Jackie Phairow Photography. If you have been to a Real Producers event, you have seen Jackie snapping away and she always has a smile on her face.

A huge thanks to all of our partners who make this all possible and we hope everyone enjoys the last bit of summer!

Warm Regards,

Shea Robinson
