By Bonnie Roseman, January 11, 2019
Back in the day, the vast majority of my clients came to me by way of a referral from a friend, relative, neighbor or coworker. In recent years, more and more people started finding me online. Ah, modern times. One cool thing about 2018 was that, as in the old days, so many of my new clients were friends of friends. I love this. It makes for a giant real estate family. It is so rewarding, a huge compliment really, when people send those they care about to me for help with buying or selling property. A home is a huge commitment and investment, and changing homes takes a lot of courage and grit. I want to thank all of those who trust me to guide them and their friends through the process. It is an honor.
So, I have been thinking about how to say thank you… Gratitude Groceries! In 2019, every time a newly referred client meets with me, I will be sending the referrer a grocery gift card. It doesn’t matter if they are raring to go right away, or seeking a consultation for future planning. If they come in for an appointment, you get a gift. It’s a small way I can say thank you for your tremendous support of my business.
Gracias, Merci, Grazie, Arigato, Danke, Mahalo, Xièxiè, Asante, Mahsie, Todah…

Bonnie hit the real estate scene in Portland when Silence of the Lambs was killing it in the theaters, the Cold War was officially chilled and the national median sales price of a home was $120,000.
Since then, she's been delighted to assist clients in navigating the ever changing housing market: whether selling a first home or the family home, looking for a starter pad or a forever habitat, downsizing, resizing or buying and selling investment property.
Having a symbiotic connection with your real estate agent is key and will help ensure a great experience. Bonnie enjoys consulting with potential clients to discover their wishes and goals, confirming the right client-agent match.
Smooth transactions are the target; however, there can be unexpected bumps getting to the closing table. Bonnie excels at finding creative solutions to any mishegoss that pops up and she takes pride in an extremely low sale fail rate.
A little more about Bonnie: born in Philly, raised in Berkeley, mom to an incredible young woman; her home is filled with both furry and scaly creatures, the daily driver is all electric, equality is the only pathway; she's embraced veganism for the earth, the animals and her health.
