Spring Clean Event

When:     April 24th, 10am – 12pm

Where:    Windermere Parking Lot

               4526 California Ave SW

               (Entrance on 42nd)
What:      Safe document shredding
It’s that time of year again…Tax Time!
 

One of the questions that seems to come to mind every year is what documents and receipts we need to keep, and for how long?  Then, when it’s finally time to purge, there is concern about identity theft and proper disposal.  It’s enough to make us throw everything in a box and bury it in the backyard!

After giving it a little thought we decided to team up with other agents in our office to put on an event to help our clients safely dispose of their unwanted documents. You are invited to join us April 24th from 10am -12pm.  Bring all those boxes of old statements and receipts.  We will have an industrial shredder set-up and plenty of space for everyone’s stuff to go safely and securely to the recycling plant as confetti!

In preparation for the event, here’s what the IRS has to say about what you should keep and in what format you should keep it.  And we found a good chart  of this information at Bankrate.com.   As always, we recommend you consult your accountant to verify what you can safely dispose of.

We look forward to seeing you at the Windermere Spring Clean!
 
Warm Regards,

Neighborhood Walkability & West Seattle Summer Fest

Happy Summer!

We know how important proximity to neighborhood ammenities is to our clients. It is one of the top 5 criteria we hear from the buyer clients we work with and recently came across this website that rates the “walkability” of any address. It’s an interesting site, that we hope you’ll appreciate.

Walkable Neighborhoods

Picture a walkable neighborhood. You lose weight each time you walk to the grocery store. You stumble home from last call without waiting for a cab. You spend less money on your car-or you don’t own a car. When you shop, you support your local economy. You talk to your neighbors. Read more

We also wanted to let you know that this weekend is West Seattle’s Summer Fest, formerly called the West Seattle Street Fair and we will be at the booth outside our office (4526 California Ave SW) this Friday from 3:30 – 6pm. If you find yourself out and about, whether you walk, ride, roll, stroll, or even dance your way to the WS Junction, we would love to see you there!

Sincerely,

Domenica
