Please welcome back Advertisers Chuck and Lisa Tuman to The B-Town Blog, two local real estate agents and great community-minded people who work out of the Burien Windermere office!

As we do with all our Advertisers, we provide a forum for them to share their thoughts:

We believe that the real estate market is turning the corner and that 2012 will be much better for sellers as prices are stabilizing and still very attractive for new buyers as interest rates are projected to stay at historically low levels.

We also believe that our local communities are going to begin thriving once again because the major economic drivers (read major employers like Boeing, Starbucks, Amazon, Microsoft, etc.) are continuing to do more hiring with great family living wages.

We will continue to support our communities and schools through our membership in the Highline Schools Foundation and the work done to provide grants to teachers and schools and scholarships to needy students. We love activities that help to involve the larger community like the Brat Trot and the upcoming Cove to Clover. Volunteering to help make those events successful is very important for us.

We would love to help with your real estate needs. A quick email can start the conversation: chucktuman@windermere.com.

The Tumans are retired school administrators from the Highline School District who have remained active in the community as trustees of the Highline Schools Foundation for Excellence and devoted many hours to community activitiesto benefit other local organizations. They love to help clients realize their dream of buying a home (and sometimes the dream of selling one). They love the business and truly enjoy working with folks of all ages.

Lisa and Chuck Tuman at a recent Highline Schools Foundation Oktoberfest fundraiser, which they helped organize.

Here’s more about the Tumans:

Professional Integrity:
After 40 years of combined experience educating the children of this community, we demonstrate the same caring and professional integrity in the real estate market. We don’t sell ‘real estate,’ we help people realize their dreams about homes. We will educate you through every step of the purchase or sale of your home.

Communication:
We communicate regularly and in a variety of manners. We relentlessly provide service. There is no job too big or too small for us. Our honesty and dedication will be evident to you as you reach your goals.

Expert Representation:
Real Estate transactions require effective negotiation skills. We work for mutual agreement and satisfaction for everyone involved. We diligently represent and protect your interests. For four years in a row we have been selected as “Five Star Realtors” by Seattle Magazine. We believe we earned that honor.

Knowledge of Our Area:
We have extensive personal knowledge of the recreational areas, neighborhoods, schools and businesses in Greater Seattle. We are excited about the revitalization in our communities. Let us help you get acquainted with the rich diversity and marvelous opportunities in our area.

Thinking about a backyard cottage? Want to find out more?

Advertiser and Friend of the Blog Ncompass Cottage Company is offering an encore presentation of their free, convenient, concise informational workshop to help you learn more.

Their most recent workshop drew a full house of attendees. Don’t miss out on this one!

It’s this Wednesday, Nov. 30, from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Location: Phinney Neighborhood Association, 6532 Phinney Avenue North in Seattle.

“This workshop will focus specifically on planning and designing detached cottages for individuals with mobility issues or seniors who want to live out their final years at home or with family in a multi-generational housing environment,” said Stefan Hansmire of Ncompass.

“Smaller cottages can be thought of as income producing rental properties, equity building additions, or perhaps as a warm safe place to have an aging parent live close by.”

Special guest on Wednesday will be Matt Long from Husky Senior Care.

Ncompass’s philosophy can be summed up this way: Smaller homes on existing lots mean more affordable housing, less demand on municipal infrastructure, better use of immediate resources, and more flexibility for everyone.

Contact Ncompass today. They’re making small … big.

For more information or to RSVP for a workshop, contact Stefan@ncompass-llc.com or call 206-933-8965.

And now a word from Advertiser Center Tool Rental…

We stopped in recently to say Hi to our friends in White Center. While there we picked up on tips to keep in mind in preparing for and dealing with the coming seasonal shift in our Northwest weather.

“When the rains and winds come, we’ll be ready to assist you,” said Center Tool’s Doug Stevens. “We’re here to help you meet all your winter weather needs.

“We have generators, pumps, dehumidifiers and wet vacuums, he said. “We have log splitters, chippers and chain saws, too.

“We’re open seven days a week and our slogan is ‘We Rent Most Anything!’”

Doug and his crew are located in the bustling Delridge Triangle, where West Seattle meets White Center at Roxbury.

Doug began working at Center Tool Rental when his parents, Jack and Stella, started the business in the 1970’s.

”My parents were really good at the personal touch, asking people about their kids, and giving them advice on how to complete a project,” he said. “Some of my current customers are the grandkids of Mom and Dad’s first customers.”

Zoe the dog will greet you at Center Tool Rental.

And Zoe, Doug’s friendly German Shorthaired Pointer, is doing great as usual, happily greeting all comers to Center Tools.
