And that's realtor safety. It so today I'm actually really excited because I'm welcoming Brandi Chambers as our guest. She has worked in the real estate industry for 20 years and currently works out of the Windermere Kirkland office. She is such a bright light in this industry. Not only does she hold a number of designations, including certified residential specialist, negotiation expert, new home sales professional, and military relocation professional, she's also a ten time five star professional award winner and a 2023 five star legend featured in Fortune magazine. And this girl knows her stuff very obviously. But even bigger than that, one of my favorite things about her is her huge heart. And she works diligently in supporting local charities such as Saving Great Animals and the Meow Cat Rescue, and is also really passionate about raising awareness for Parkinson's disease. Having a mom who struggled with a disease for over ten years, and she posts a lot about her involvement with the Michael J. Fox foundation and the American Parkinson's Disease association as well.
