🥳 Join Us to Celebrate Kim's 25th Anniversary in Real Estate 🥳

When Kim started in real estate, Bill Clinton was the President, and there were minimal legal rights for the LGBTQ+ community. Kim was a political activist before becoming a real estate agent, but her activism was a big part of her career. 🏳️‍🌈🗳️✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

Initially, it was helping first-time homebuyers who didn’t think they could own a home become Diva Dwellers. 🔑🏡 Activism and Kim’s incredible aesthetic are the cornerstones of how she approaches her work. We all know Kim’s incredible listing skills and how her homes are presented well above most in this industry. But also over the years, Kim’s has included using her real estate platform to stand up for marriage equality, advocating for education funding, helping to raise her nephew, and helping to mentor many successful non-traditional real estate agents over the years.

We want to celebrate all of this and more with you all! Join us to party it up!

🎉 Date: September 21st

🎉 Time: 5:30 - 9:00 PM

🎉 Location: Coldwell Banker Bain Capitol Hill - 1400 East Pike St, Seattle, WA

🎉 RSVP: Please RSVP by Monday, September 16th so we know exactly how many bottles of rose, bubbly water, and fabulous food we should have ready, (so you know it was a Diva party!) 📲 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/celebrate-kims-25th-anniversary-in-real-estate-tickets-998674882457?aff=oddtdtcreator

See you at the event of the season 🥂!

👩‍🎓Unofficial Divaland PTA:

Many of our teacher friends are returning to the classrooms this week and are woefully under-resourced. This year we are helping four different classrooms with snacks and school supplies who all reside in Title One schools. These are schools are where most students qualify for free or reduced lunch. And as you know these schools often do not benefit from wealthier PTAs in better resources schools.

This is where you all come in and help us stock the shelves and help these teachers out!!!!
📕📗📘📙📚🖍✏️🖌

Check out my list on Amazon

🎒 Our Unofficial Divaland PTA is back! 🎨🖍️📔🖊️📐📝 We reached out to local teachers at underserved schools and asked what they needed for their classrooms.

Here are the local schools and programs we are supporting this year:

🏫 Rainier Beach International Baccalaureate Program
🏫 Renton School District Occupational Therapy Support
🏫 Special Ed Work Transition Program
🏫 Federal Way Elementary School

Let’s help local underserved schools get the essential school supplies they need for students to be successful!

If you would like to donate, we have put together an Amazon Wishlist based on what local teachers need: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/33201GULZW0HD?ref_=wl_share

Thank you so much for joining us in supporting our community! 🥳 ⁠

☀️ Our Favorite Divaland Rooftop Decks ☀️

Having a rooftop deck is often on the list of “must haves” when our clients are searching for the right home to buy. It’s a great way to have some outdoor space all to yourself without having a yard to maintain!

😎 And of course, when the sun comes out, Seattleites like to soak up as much vitamin D as possible.

🥰🏙️ A couple of weeks ago, we had the opportunity to return to our real estate roots at the Capitol Hill Coldwell Banker Bain office, where our journey started 25 years ago!

Officially, as of July 8th, you can find Team Diva on the Hill at 14th & Pike (1400 East Pike St, Seattle, WA 98122). I'm sure you remember the old Artificial Limb Company? Same location, way different vibe. 😋 The new office is absolutely gorgeous and we already love being there.

We also love that this office aligns exactly with our longstanding tradition of being part of the community and being in a space where we can be of service to our real estate cohort. We know that being here will help Team Diva continue our commitment to our friends, family, clients, and of course the Divaland community. 💓

Also! We love that every month, the office is part of Capitol Hill’s Art Walk. 🎨 This office was also a big part of organizing Pride events over the last few weeks, and we had a blast at the Pride Party! 🏳️‍🌈

Honor Juneteenth Today and Everyday⁠
⁠
TODAY is more than just a day off. It is a day to honor the Black community. for us specifically, we will be focusing on housing. Earlier this week we had a very disheartening conversation with someone in leadership who had no freaking idea what Juneteenth is and how to honor the day. Ugh! Dude we have had years to get this right. But it did make us think of what we can do to help people in our industry to be better allies to our Black real estate professionals and increase Black homeownership.⁠
