The latest issue of The Real Estate Book, which is a publication that features local homes for sale, has several pages of agents trumpeting their total sales for the year.  Another agent and I joked that we had “missed the memo” stating that this was the year to advertise this way.  Seriously, it’s like the sports page.  Everyone is sharing their stats.

So, I’ll tell you here – I sold sixteen properties this year.

It’s not pitiful, but it’s not stellar, either.  The goal was 24, so I am winding up eight short., or 33% down to goal.  Ouch.  I like saying I missed it by a single-digit number better.

I took a look at where my business came from, and exactly half came from the Internet (blogging, social media connections, web site visitors), and the other half came from people who already know me.  The people who know me either did business with me themselves (hi, Vopalenskys!), or referred me to someone they knew who needed my help (hi, Dahls!).

Regardless of how I came to work with them, I had an awesome group of clients this year.  And, I’m looking forward to meeting my 2009 clientele.

Have a safe and happy New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.  I’ll be posting again on the 2nd.

My husband and I came to the Tri-Cities in 1994, and we thought it would be a temporary stop on our way to larger cities. He was a television sports anchor at the time, and we planned to go wherever the "next step up" took us. Twenty-plus years later, we're still here and we've loved every minute of it! We have two children now, and we've found the Tri-Cities area is a wonderful place to raise a family. It's a great place to do outdoorsy things -- I like to hike Badger Mountain or run along the river path. I also love reading ... by a cozy fire in the winter or a beautiful picture window in the summer (with the A/C on!). I've been a licensed Realtor since 2004. I earned my managing broker's license in 2016, which means I can run my own brokerage, or create a team of real estate agents and supervise them, which is exactly what I did when I formed the Cari McGee Real Estate Team in 2018! We have administrative and marketing personnel, as well as additional agents to serve you. I became a director of the Tri-Cities Association of Realtors Board of Directors in 2016, became Secretary/Treasurer of the organization, and was elected to Vice President in 2019.
