Reading With Rover
As an elementary teacher in a previous life, getting kids excited to read was sometimes a challenge. One way that I had personal experience with was the Reading With Rover program. When I taught it was pre-COVID so when I saw that Rover had gone virtual I was thrilled! I know from personal experience that this worked for kids who were hesitant to read to a person but when it was Rover they got so excited to do it! I hope with the reopening of schools that Rover will continue to do his/her great work!
Just Listed on Whidbey Island in Langley!
The possibilities! Large home with lots of natural light, and a big lot with mature trees. A fixer upper being sold as-is. Home features 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. A nice layout with the possibility of renting out the third bedroom with a separate entrance. Quiet area with a fenced backyard. Minutes to all Langley has to offer, with a very low price per square foot. The beautiful Saratoga Woods and Putney Woods close by. Bring your ideas; this house needs tender loving care and a creative “can-do” buyer to make this a wonderful home! Imagine the possibilities with this one – make it YOUR home, or a lucrative rental with Whidbey’s tight rental market.
Feel free to contact me through my website. It has all my contact information and I will be glad to answer any questions you might have about this home or any others you might be looking at. If you are thinking about selling your home we need houses to sell!
Are You A Whidbey Island Veteran?
Thank you for your service!
As a 20 year military veteran myself, I know the sacrifices that you make every day. Using your VA benefit to purchase a home is one of the best choices you can make. Whether you use it while on active duty or when you retire, it is a great way to purchase a home. Having used my VA benefit to purchase more than one home, I know what the experience is like as a buyer and seller. As a Washington licensed real estate broker and I also have worked with buyers in purchasing a home using VA financing. With the training I have taken I can be your expert in the process of putting together an offer to buy and be there during the process of getting your VA loan approved.
Where to start? Check out this website for information. I can also provide you with information on the process as well as finding a mortgage broker to work with. Most mortgage brokers are familiar with VA loans but some do more of them than others and that can be beneficial for you. You can check out my website for links to mortgage calculators, current interest rates, and other information for buying a house.
There are many resources available for a military family to use whether buying or selling in conjunction with a PCS move, separating or retiring. Let me help you through the process if you are on Whidbey Island or I can help you find an MRP in your area.
Santa Visits Whidbey Island 2020!
This year will see some changes to our normal Santa visits here in Central and South Whidbey. I know I have looked forward to waiting for the trucks and trailers giving Santa’s sleigh a ride around South Whidbey and watching my grandchildren’s faces light up when they get to meet Santa! Check out the South Whidbey Fire and EMS Facebook page for a very creative video on how South Whidbey kids (big and small) can still visit Santa this year.

For those of you in Central Whidbey, Santa will still be making the rounds with a virus safe method for delivering goodies from the truck this year. They are starting December 7th so check out the link below for where they will be and they also have a Santa tracker to follow him.
Merry Christmas from Jon and Mike and have a Real Happy Holiday!
