SAN JUAN ISLAND REAL
ESTATE SPECIALIST
Looking
for a REALTOR to help you find or sell a waterfront home, view
property, commercial property, land, or the home of your dreams in
Friday Harbor, Roche Harbor, on San
Juan Island or anywhere in
San Juan County? Call Annette Schaffer...need a designer? ...a home
furnisher or someone to help with a remodeling project around the
house? Call Annette Schaffer.
There are not two or three or four Annette Schaffers...just one, and
she is a managing broker with Windermere/San
Juan Island ready to
assist you with all your real
estate needs.
She is also soft-spoken, cheerful and friendly and has picked up her
wide variety of skills during a career that includes over 35 years in real
estate, which includes her
involvement on San Juan Island since 1996. Annette, a prior contractor,
has an impressive resume that include many years of hands-on experience
in architectural design and residential construction. She also created
and operated Grandmere's Inn
in Nevada City, CA - rated one of the best B&B's in California
- before moving to San
Juan Island twenty years
ago.
Annette's interest in the quality of one's home goes all the way to the
time when she was a little girl. She remembers, at age six, walking
down local streets, staring at homes and thinking to herself what she
could do to improve them. "I would look at houses," she recalls, "and
think how I could make them better."
As a young adult she began to practice what she preached by entering
what was largely a man's world, putting on her tool apron and working
professionally in all phases of home construction and remodeling.
The knowledge Annette picked up during that phase of her career has
provided her with valuable insights that she now passes along to real
estate clients who rely on
her to accurately assess the homes they are looking at buying. "I point
out things people may not see, because my eye is trained to see what
could be improved," she says, acknowledging that the clients appreciate
the information.
Annette also exudes a self-confidence based on the view that anyone can
do whatever they put their mind to. It is a view she has continued to
hold throughout her life.
Buying or selling a home can be heaven and hell…all wrapped
up in one exhilarating and incredibly stressful package. What both the
homebuyer and seller need is a professional who pays attention. "I
listen," she says, "I like people and understand it is all about
customer service."
There are so many kinds of people and they all need different things.
But one thing is sure, they need a professional...who is also a real
live human being...who cares about their needs and desires. That is
what Annette Schaffer is all about.
