The Business of Philanthropy

PSBJ’s choice of Jeff Raikes reminds me of how lucky we are in Seattle to be at the center of the philanthropy “business.” I spent a few moments looking for stats on the local economic impact of these companies, but came up short. I’m all ears if anyone has something to add, but…the impact is obviously significant. Thank you, philanthropists.

Offer Presentation:

So, I had an offer presentation last night. I thanked the Seller for allowing me to discuss the offer in person and they thanked me, saying that they had sold five houses, and no agent had ever presented an offer in person. One of them actually said: "I think this speaks to what is wrong with your industry. Agents are forgetting that this is about people." Thoughts?
