Brier Undressed

The Right Real Estate Agent

People don’t talk about it a lot. But finding the right real estate agent can be the difference between a happy, stress-free home buying or selling experience, and an unhappy, stressful experience.

First, you’ll want an agent ready and able to make a full-time commitment to you. I can and will do that.

Second, you’ll want an agent with the experience needed to know the local neighborhoods, schools, market conditions, ordinances, etc. With my years of experience in the local market – I have the expertise and track record of success you need.

Third, you’ll want an agent who embraces the convenience of technology without losing the personal touch. You’ll love the resources available on my website and the e-mail alerts that I send, but these will never replace the time I spend with you, serving as your personal guide through this exciting process.

With over 22 years in the Brier, Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood Real Estate  market I assure you I have the knowledge and expertise to help you.

Let’s get together and talk about your home buying and/or selling plans. Call me at the office (425-771-2200) or on my cell phone (425-418-1215) or send me an e-mail (pamdorgan@yahoo.com), we’ll set-up a time that is easy and convenient to meet.

Fondly, Your Brier Real Estate Professional, Pamela R. (Pam) Dorgan

Brier Community Church

Brier Park was blessed with the annual Brier Community Church group Sunday morning. The sound of the musicians and beautiful songs uplifted the community.  Worship, Merriment and Smells from the barbeque drew in park visitors.  I for one will be visiting the church to worship in the very near future. What a great way to introduce the Church to the community.  They are a good example of how to leave the park, it was neater than when they arrived. Follow this link for a map search of all Brier area churches.

MURDER of CROWS in Brier?!

There is a very large Murder of Crows living in Brier, here is a little information on them.

Loud, rambunctious, and very intelligent, crows are either loved or hated by humans. Farmers consider crows pests that damage crops by eating their seedlings. Their black feathers made many people fear them throughout history, often associating them with death. Crows are in the corvidae family which includes ravens, magpies, and blue jays. The ubiquitous crow is loved by many for its sharp intelligence.

Where do they live?
Crows live all over the world, except for South America, New Zealand, and Antarctica.

What do they eat?
Crows are predators and scavengers, which means that they will eat practically anything. Their diet consists of various road-kill, insects, frogs, snakes, mice, corn, human fast food, even eggs and nestlings of other birds. An adult crow needs 11 ounces of food daily.

Social Environment
Crows are very social and have a tight-knit family. They roost in huge numbers (in the thousands) to protect themselves from enemies like red-tailed hawks, horned-owls, and raccoons. Crows also use 25 different calls. The distress call brings other crows to their aid, as crows will defend unrelated crows. Crow couples are thought to mate for life.

Critter Fact
A group of crows is called a “murder.” This name came about because a group of crows will sometimes kill a dying crow.

Did You Know?
Crows are considered the most intelligent of all birds. One example of their brainpower is their use of tools: They sharpen twigs to help them forage for insects and larvae. Also, crows have a remarkable memory and there are some studies indicating that crows can count.

Does anyone know where they roost?  Anyone, anyone?

Call me curious real estate agent, Pam.
