Calling West Seattle and Capitol Hill Volunteers

Are there any Biznikers who really like volunteering in their community and giving back? I have been organizing a graffiti prevention and removal education/work event in the City of Seattle for the past seven years. I had so much fun when I first volunteered I'm still here. We have teams, food, give-a-ways, special guests, media, City officials and more. The big event is Saturday, August 23rd launching from the West Seattle Target store at 1:30pm and Sunday, August 24th launching from the Fire Department in Capitol Hill at 1:00pm. For more information, call me at 206-686-5808 or check out the website at 'http://www.paintout.org'

Distrissed Home Consultants Unite

Hello Washington Realtors! Who is excited about the new Distressed Property Law that goes into effect June 12th? Are you all ready to be distressed home consultants? Are you ready to be fiduciaries to the Seller even though you are a buyers' agent? Do you feel this makes you a dual agent?

Who has their attorney's ready for drafting the listing and purchase and sale agreement (the new Distressed Property forms and addendums) in other languages?

Interpreters could have a new line of work and another unique selling proposition. Does anyone know how much interpreters charge for interpreting a legal document such as a purchase and sale agreement?

Who feels this new law really protects the consumer?

Does it make sense that single family homes, duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes are subject to this law, but condos are not? How many of us have seen short sales on condos over the last two years?

What real estate agencies are making this new law required learning besides Keller Williams Realty?

Who is excited about informing FSBO's who fall into the distressed property law and the buyers looking at these homes that they now become Distressed Home Consultants without their knowledge, under this new law?

I'm looking forward to your input and discussion! Distressed Home Consultants Unite!

Hello Biznikers!

Hi everyone, I've been a member of Biznik for about three months now and I am learning a lot. I've never actually introduced myself so here goes. Like most of you I started out as a free member and found so many great people on the site and many I already knew that I really needed to lift that 3 message quota.

Then I dediced to host my own event and noticed that I did not get as much publicity about my event as those "supporting members". When I spoke with Rich Whitaker, the person who told me about Biznik, he explained that being a supporting member was well worth it due to the higher Google ranking one would receive.

After attending "Networking the Biznik Way" with Dan and Lara, the Biznik Co-founders I learned much more. I just posted some music in the park events with some really great bands so if you are a music lover feel free to sign up.

I am a Realtor working out of Bellevue and living in Mercer Island. I am a condominium specialist and am never too busy to help you find or sell a home. And, if you don't live in my state and are looking for a great realtor, I love giving realtor referrals and have some great realtors I work with across the country.

In addition, I am the President of the Mercer Island Arts Council and started the 3rd Thursday Art Walk so I am always looking at artist/performance profiles. I have found some great artists on Biznik.

Another passion of mine is working with the City of Seattle in creating a community event and promoting public safety through a graffiti removal program called Seattle Paint Out. I am looking for volunteers in the Capitol Hill area on Saturday, May 31st from 9:30am - 2:30pm. There will be food and t-shirts, it is great fun and you will meet a ton of people.

Thanks for taking the time to get to know my bad indie self.

Cheers!

Helen
