MVP Sponsors: of the Bellevue East Little League

At Sotheby’s International Realty, we are not just an International Real Estate business, we are a family. Every one of our team members is a strong member of their communities, and we believe in giving back in a big way to the families we serve and who support us every day. Relying mainly on membership fees and volunteers for support is a hard thing to do, so we wanted to help out in a big way. This year, we decided to be the MVP sponsors to the Bellevue East Little League and the Bellevue East Select Team League. These two organizations are full of all of the families we help to buy homes for all year long, so our dedication to sponsorship is our way of saying thank you to all of you for supporting us.

We hope you have a great baseball season!

Go Cardinals !!!!!!!!

Sponsors: Bellevue East Select Team

Being a sponsor allows us to help promote the league, maintain the fields, arrange the teams, organize events, help with coaching, provide equipment and supply the uniforms. These leagues could never survive on the membership fees alone, which is why being a sponsor is such an important job. The volunteers are the true heroes in this game though. They work hard every single day to make sure these kids get to play ball every year. Hats off to you guys.

We wanted to show our support to both of these amazing teams by purchasing custom made jackets for all of those hard working coaches and their awesome players to enjoy during, and as a keepsake, for this years baseball season. Now GO GET EM BOYS!!!!

Go BEAST !!!!!!!!!

The Meydenbauer – In Old Town Bellevue, Washington

Purchased: $539,000

I received a phone call from my client, asking me to help find for her the perfect condominium. She wanted something beautiful, close in, livable, with space for guests and something that was a sound financial investment for her property portfolio. I asked her some very specific questions and then did a target specific search based on only the things I knew she loved. I then took her out on a tour the very same day, to view in person what I had hand selected for her.

We looked at 3 properties that day, and she fell in love with The Meydenbaur property the minute we entered. It is unique, exquisite, perfectly placed, walkable and a very sound investment.

Being a savvy businesswoman, she had some very poignant questions, and wanted to see some comparable properties to ensure this was a good fit for her. She also wanted to compare some of the financial investment aspects of this purchase, to others that may be similar investments.

I did a second search for her that evening, finding a few properties that would give her the best idea of what her money could buy and how it would bring her a good rate of return overall. We went to see those properties the next morning.

After viewing all of these properties, she decided to go with the one she loved originally. It was not only the most beautiful, but a very sound investment.

I was able to put together a strong offer for her and the property was successfully purchased that very same day! It closed early, with absolutely no problems.

If this is the kind of thing you would like to experience with your next property purchase, than I am your perfect agent.
