WHO’s YOUR DADU? 🏡 ❓Have you seen a bunch of smaller homes being built on the lots of existing homes around Tacoma? These are called DADU’s: Detached Accessory Dwelling Units And our city is at the forefront of allowing this type of housing to address housing needs and displacement concerns. ❓Who are the local experts building these DADU’s? 🏡 Realtor-Developer-Investor, Anne Curry and 🏡 General Contractor | Co-Owner Tacoma DADU, Matt Rody On Wednesday, September 11th Women's Council of REALTORS® Tacoma- Pierce County is hosting both Anne and Matt for an in-depth discussion about WHY DADU’s and HOW here in Tacoma. This is a topic that is constantly changing and one you want to stay current with as “Home in Tacoma” rolls out across our city.

👑GOALS👑 Tuesday is brokers tour in Tacoma. And we don’t just go preview houses, we set goals for each excursion. Each month I set aside at minimum 2 days to go on tour with a trifecta of Real Estate, Mortgage and Title friends in the industry. I set a goal for each journey and these are my basics: 👑 Spend TIME with these housing experts - new and old, ask them questions about the market, the inventory, and their lives. We always run into several other RE professionals and sometimes it’s like a big reunion! Fun & laughter is always involved! 👑 Gain KNOWLEDGE about individual neighborhoods in the county. See how streets and blocks are changing with the influx of new buyers moving to our beautiful city. Always listening to what others have to say, getting a grasp on inventory and price points. 👑 Film CONTENT! Photos, video, conversation. I am a creative and a cheerleader and there’s nothing I love more than capturing a beautiful nook, cranny or smiling face. 👑 Then SHARE the love with my network. If I can help a Real Estate Friend with a little piece of content each week to boost their business, I know that they’ll not only appreciate it but want to work with me in the future. 🏡 Featured Listing by Jenny Wetzel with Windermere Abode Thanks for letting me capture the beauty of this magnificent home, Jenny! Just a sneak at all it has to offer. #beiconic #communityovercompetition #strengthinnumbers

🌪️ In TRANSITION?! You are not alone. Sooo many people going through major transitions in life right now. 🥺 Whether it’s sending their kids off to college, moving into a new home, or switching companies - or entire careers for that matter. The stress and anxiety or even sadness seems to be at its apex right now.❤️ I’ve had a few friends ask for help during this time and I’m always happy to lend a hand because I’ve learned a few things over the years and these 3 things I definitely know to be true: 1. People come and go from your life for a reason. Even if you’ve had a bad experience somewhere, you probably met ONE PERSON who made an impact on your life that you will remember and be grateful for forever. 2. Ask for help!! We cannot do everything alone. You know people who are good at that one thing you are struggling with - ask them for help! Hire the expert to compliment your expertise. Spending a little money on something integral that you THINK you can do yourself - yet never get around to doing - will payoff in the end! 🤔 3. COLLABORATION! Working together with someone else on a project creates this energetic synergy that lightens the mood, makes you laugh, creates something BEAUTIFUL!! And brings you JOY through great reward! 🥳 Does this feel like YOU? Do you have a question or need help because you are feeling stuck in your current life transition? DM me. I am a great listener, a fanatical cheerleader, and pretty darn good at making you feel - and your brand look - ICONIC. 👑 #beiconic

I got you: ✨ What gave you the tingles? ✨ Who inspired you? ✨ What did you learn that will help you serve your customers better? ✨ Or deliver them the BEST product/results?

✨COLLABORATION!✨ Are you seeing a theme here amongst all my posts? As the Marketing Chair for Women's Council of Realtors Tacoma-Pierce County Network, my main responsibility is managing and growing our social media account by interacting with our community of members, affiliates, sponsors and followers. 💙 I create an annual marketing strategy & content calendar 💛 I create graphics for event promotion & presentations 💙 I capture content at scheduled shoots and hosted events 💛 I create & edit photos and videos 💙 I coordinate the professional photographers & videographers for our events 💛 And I even co-host, moderate, speak at, and teach classes at 2-3 events per year! Our most recent event was a COLLABORATION with our South King County sister-network. ⚾️ We hosted 90 people on the party deck at the Tacoma Rainiers game last night! It is one of our favorite events of the year and a tradition we want to continue for years to come! 💙💛 Enjoy this quick video I threw together of our COLLABORATIVE evening enjoying America’s favorite pastime! ✨ I used B-Roll captured on my iPhone ✨ A trending template found in CapCut ✨ And edited with Videoshop-Video Editor & Instagram 💡 TIP: Not EVERY post has to be professionally shot & edited. Mixing in your own B-Roll keeps it interesting, authentic, and timely. #beiconic #wearewomenscouncil

📍 One of my FAVORITE HACKS when creating b-roll video like the one here, is using a template from CapCut then importing it into Canva to add my text, logos, and animations and to adjust the timing of all the elements to match the beat of the music. 🎶 From there I can upload to any social media platform. 📍 This was the perfect strategy for what I call a “BENEFITS” video: telling the customer the benefits of attending the event I’m promoting in the video.
