🚨TODAY IS THE LAST DAY to vote for me at the link in my bio!! I am honored to be nominated as Best Real Estate Agent (under Prof. Services) & Inspiring Resident (Community) in Snoqualmie Valley! Did you vote?

I am having a blast in Miami at the eXpcon learning so much about this amazing company I’ve just recently joined. I had no idea how much they pour into their agents, giving us access to so much training and so many tools for FREE!! And, EVERYONE wants to help you...it’s not a competitive environment, AT ALL. It’s actually quite the opposite! I can’t wait to get home!! I’m filled with so much excitement, completely recharged and eager to hit the ground running. AND, I have an AMAZING new gift for all of my clients and VIP supporters!! It’s pretty darn cool and will be rolling out hopefully by December, so stay tuned!! #exp

A shimmy a day, keeps the bad market away 😅 Featuring my awesome dad, once again!

I'm in Miami for eXpCon! 🏝️✨ Soaking up insights, connecting with amazing agents, and bringing back fresh ideas to help my clients crush 2025 on! #eXpCon #Miami #RealEstate

These ladies are so inspiring 🥰, hardworking 👩‍🍳 and resilient 🧘‍♀️!! And I am so grateful I get to call them friends! Kathryn Podschwit & Dorie Ross celebrated the opening of their new Chickadee Bakeshop location last week. They are now located right on Railroad Ave SE between Gianfranco and Engel & Volkers Open EVERYDAY, and serving breakfast items, LOTS of freshly baked deliciousness, SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM, and they even have salads and other easy to grab foods. Oh, and I can’t forget to mention their COFFEE. My dad LOVES a piping hot white mocha, and I got to treat him to one at their celebration. He said it was the BEST white mocha he’s ever had!! So, support these amazing ladies! We are blessed to have them here in the community!!

🤩 PENDING IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS WITH 4 OTHER UNITS FOR SALE IN THE COMMUNITY! BIG WIN 🏆 I am so happy for my clients! They decided to buy a home before selling their existing one for ease of showings since they have 2 little ones. This was ideal so that I could do absolutely EVERYTHING possible to prepare and market their home, including a full stage! (Homes that are staged and not empty sell between 73% and 90% quicker than non-staged homes, with some statistics from the Real Estate Staging Association indicating non-staged homes can take 184 days to sell while staged homes average 41 days on the market) Check out the before and after photos and let me know what you think! I strongly believe that NO seller should put their home on the market without having it staged, even if they live there...and it should NOT be a cost to the seller. After all, isn’t marketing the home what you pay a real estate agent for?

What would you do with a few extra hours a week? Downtown living means getting time back! With an 82 Walk Score, your car is optional. You’re steps from the riverfront beauty of Bothell Landing Park, downtown dining, and local shops. This is the definition of convenience. Ready to stop driving and start living?

POV: the two moods of a realtor! Featuring my awesome dad!! So lucky to have grandpa in town to spend some much needed time with the family but man - I’ve been working basically non-stop since he got here… being busy in real estate can be great, but can also be a lot to handle when I just want to go do something fun with him while he’s here! Glad I have a dad who is willing to help me with some social content 😜

🏡✨ Happy New North Bend Home Owners! ✨🏡  A heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS to my incredible buyers who never gave up and finally landed their dream home in **North Bend**! I’ve been eagerly waiting to be able to welcome them to *our* community (yes, I can officially call them my neighbors now! 🎉). I can’t wait for them to hike Mount Si, explore downtown’s charm, and fall in love with the elk and nature all around us. And, have no doubt—I’ll be their personal guide to hidden gems, coffee spots, and all the small-town magic! ☕🌲 Here’s to morning trail runs, weekend farmer’s markets, and a lifetime of memories in their new home. Cheers to new beginnings—and to clients who become friends (and neighbors!) 🥂  I just love helping people plant roots right where I’ve planted mine. See you at Huxdotter Coffee?* 😊

Today we remember the lives lost, the heroes who rose, and the strength that carried us forward. #NeverForget

Whenever we get together to work on social media, Lyndsi (my daughter) constantly asks me what I’m doing because I’m a big multitasker! Typically, I’m on MLS, messaging clients, or checking e-mails while listening to her but sometimes crushing candy is just the vibe.

When your listing that’s been on the market for a minute finally sells, you need to celebrate with a little dance party!! The market isn’t always what we want it to be… BUT, it’s small (okay, maybe kinda big) wins like this that make it all worth it 🫶🏻😌🏡

Mind. Blown. 🤯 I had my FIRST EVER Salish Sea frosé at the William Grassie Snoqualmie tasting room and WHERE has this been all my life?! The Salish Sea Frosé is like summer sunset in a glass - all those rosé vibes but frostier and more magical. 🍷❄️ And that Lemonade Wine Slushy?! Sauv Blanc/Semillon tang with that icy kick? * Chef's kiss * 🧑‍🍳💋 Pro tip: Add the wine float - it's like the cherry on top of summer. Seriously folks – if you do only ONE MORE summer thing, make it this. Your taste buds will throw a party! 🎉 #SummerSippedRight #FroseBeforeRoseSeasonEnds

I LOVE getting pics like this from my clients 🥹 Our VIPs get occasional gifts in the mail and this time, we sent out cookie/ice cream scoops!! This VIP is extra special, as she is one of Lyndsi’s besties and “soon”-to-be neighbor! So lucky to have clients and friends like her ❤️ #clientlove #clientgift #snoqualmievalley

WHAT IS ONE HABIT YOU WOULD LIKE TO START?? Well, I'll tell you, I've wanted to be an early bird instead of a night owl for pretty much my entire adult life...and, guess what!?!? I finally made it a reality!! I'm loving my morning time, starting at 5am. It's not 100% solid yet, but I've woken up to the sunrise more mornings now than I can remember in my lifetime!! I've been loving taking some time to sit on my porch, meditate, and soak in the beauty all around me! And, I've even made it to the gym a handful of times!!! What do your mornings look like?

Sunny and 70 ☀️looks like the next week is so gorgeous! How are you planning to make the most out of the warm weather? #mountsi #summer #northbendwa

So excited for my clients! They own a townhome in Bothell and have been looking to buy a place out this way for awhile now. We met at an open house and quickly hit it off! They were amazingly patient and we finally found THE ONE at a great price! They can't wait to call North Bend HOME, and I can't wait to call them my neighbors!! THIS is why I love doing what I do!! 🥰

I was so excited to go to Walla Walla with @deniseromary to visit @emilyarteche last week. Our Rotary Club is so sad to lose Emily, but it was really cool to visit her new club at one of their weekly meetings!

Snoqualmie Valley friends! 🎉 The UPS Store on Snoqualmie Ridge has a new owner, MJ—and his customer service is TOP-NOTCH (a huge upgrade from the past!).

🥰 39 years? That means I've been married for over 2/3s of my life!!!? Crazy to think about how young we once were...and how OLD we are now, LOL!! One of our favorite things to do now is make fun of each other as we try to get up off the couch!! 🤣 I love you, @jvmessa, and I am so looking forward to continuing to grow old with you!! 😘

Where have I been?? Well, I am a very lucky Aunt, and every year I get to have my niece from San Francisco come visit me during the summer! Last year she came for 2 weeks, which seemed a bit much, but this year it was only for 6 days, and was definitely too short! We had lots of fun, though! We went to both a Mariners game and a Storm game. We got super lucky with our Storm tickets...our tickets got upgraded for FREE right behind the VIP section...AMAZING seats! And, if you haven't gone to @forumsocialhouse I highly recommend it! We went miniature golfing and each hole has a fun theme and is super unique...I actually really liked it, although it is not as impressive or high quality as other courses I've been to. I just really liked how different it was! Well, now it's time to get back to business...that is, after the @festivalatmtsi Rotary Club of Snoqualmie Valley's beer garden this weekend!! I hope to see you all there!! I'll be there all day Saturday, and then Sunday is James's and my 39th 🥰 wedding anniversary, so we will be spending the day together...which is a rarity nowadays! Have a great weekend everyone!!

Want to know how to get rid of unpleasant freeway noise in your backyard? Here’s an innovative solution I recently discovered. In North Bend, I-90 runs right through it, and while many buyers love the spacious, natural surroundings, freeway noise can sometimes be a challenge. However, after some research—and with the help of a knowledgeable Realtor friend—I learned that a well-designed water feature can significantly reduce highway noise. Envision streams of water trickling over rugged rocks, creating a hushed, rhythmic whisper, filling the air with a soothing, melodic hum —transforming the space into a peaceful sanctuary. All it takes is a simple decibel test to determine the right size, then choosing the right rocks and building the feature. It’s a creative way to enhance privacy and appeal in areas where noise has been a hurdle. Curious to learn more about how this technique can help your property stand out? Let’s connect!

Nothing like a lil work sesh at a local winery 🍷 Check out @pearlandstonewine - it has quickly become one of our favorites and is such a relaxing, yet fun place to get in a little marketing planning with Lyndsi! #realestate #wine#wineandwork

⛈ HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SUMMER!! (Cloudy picture featured) Who heard the Thunder around 5pm!? LOL!! Nice first day of summer, huh!? Well, we all know that here in the PNW, summer doesn't REALLY start until the 4th of July! I did get a picture on Tuesday, however, which was a much sunnier day, reminding us that summer is almost here!! Our weather tends to be quite the tease! ☀️Just curious, how many of you like when it stays light out until 9PM?? ☀️ #summer #summerrain #thunder #pnw

I got the opportunity to run around picking up pet donations w/ Dorie Ross a couple of weeks ago. I was so grateful to ride along with her and catch up. I had no idea that when they formed their non-profit, they changed their name from the Snoqualmie Valley Pet Food Bank to @snovalleypetservices. PLEASE consider donating to this cause. The need for pet food is greater than ever! When we got to the Seattle Humane’s Food Bank, their garage door had been painted by Henry! How cool is this?! Have you heard of Henry, the Seattle muralist, and his ambitious goal? @henry_beyond_museums, a Seattle-based muralist, is known for his iconic Sasquatch head art and is currently undertaking a project to paint 1,000 Sasquatch heads on public-facing surfaces like garage doors. He offers this art for free or a suggested donation, aiming to connect with the community and express his love for the Pacific Northwest. You can request a Sasquatch head for your garage door by signing up on Henry's website. Have you seen any of Henry's murals around town? Let us know in the comments below!! #Seattlehumane #Henry #donate #petfood #NorthBend #Snoqualmie

"Oh, you’re in real estate? Just sipping lattes, unlocking doors and living that glam HGTV life, right?"☕️🔑✨ Honestly, I’m working on making sure I end my day around the time this schedule says but the reality is, I often work well into the evening 🙃 Real estate is a lot more than unlocking doors BUT that’s why I love it. Connecting with my clients and being there for them through their home journeys is often stressful but SO worth it 😊 #realtorlife #schedule

I FINALLY TOOK TIME OFF! ✈️🌴 Okay, I wasn’t really planning it—but my nephew’s high school graduation 🎓 gave me the perfect excuse. So I packed a bag, hopped on a flight to California ☀️, and spent some much-needed time with my family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. Even though we’re usually spread out on the map 🗺️, when we’re together, everything just clicks. It’s easy, natural, and totally comforting 💛. The whole trip was the reset I didn’t know I needed 😌. One of the highlights? Hanging out with my little brother and sister 👧👦. We don’t talk all the time, but when we do get together, it’s non-stop laughs 😂 (and constant teasing—basically our love language 💬💥). I came back feeling relaxed, recharged, and ready to take on the world! 💪🌎 This trip reminded me how important it is to unplug 🔌 and just be with the people who fill your cup 🫶. More of that, please 🙏❤️. #family #siblings

Tucked away on 1.45 acres of pine-covered peace and quiet 🌲, this 3-bedroom + den home is equal parts cozy retreat and adventure basecamp. Start your mornings with coffee and Mt. Si views from the deck, hang out under the pergola with friends, or just wave to the elk wandering through your backyard. Inside, you’ll find warm wood floors, fresh updates, and a detached studio that’s perfect for your creative space, home office, or weekend guest crash pad. There’s room for your RV, boat, or all your gear—and yes, there’s a generator, so you’re good when the weather gets wild. You’re just minutes from I-90, but it feels like a whole other world out here. Peaceful, private, and ready for whatever life (or the elk) brings. 🏡✨ Welcome to your wild-and-wonderful home. 🌲 Adventure Awaits Forget “someday.” Picture sunsets on the deck, crisp mornings with elk sightings, and starry skies you’ll never get tired of. Ready to make this dreamy Northwest escape yours? Book a tour today—before someone else beats you to it. ✨ #homeinspiration #NorthBend

Every once in a while, I let the curls do their thing 💁‍♀️✨ Low-effort hair day turned into maybe-I-should-do-this-more-often vibes. Wishing I had just a bit more natural curl… but hey, we’re working with what we got! 😅 This was from the Art Takes Flight dinner by North Bend Art & Industry — such a lovely night filled with creativity and community 🎨🖌️ Curly/wavy hair—yay or nay? #realtor #naturalhair

🎉 The Messa Group Birthday Brownies 🎉 One of my favorite things? Spoiling my people. 💝 Every birthday, we send out a little love in the form of rich, gooey brownies — and they’re officially getting rave reviews (even from some top local bakers!). 🍫✨ Here’s what a few amazing clients had to say: 💬 “You are amazing. Ask Camille and the girls my favorite dessert—brownies. Ask them what they did not make for me this year… brownies!!! Guess who hooked me up with some in a secret surprise package so I don’t have to share… haha!! Many many thanks Alicia. You have me smiling big.” – Dennis 💬 “Thanks for the birthday card and brownies! You certainly help create a community experience in all you do.” – Mike 💬 “Those brownies are just so stupid good, lol. And the little wooden serving dishes are cute. You’re so sweet!” – Kathy 💬 “OMG thank you so much for the brownies for my birthday! You are thoughtful. I hope you sell 200 houses this year!!” – Jim Making people feel celebrated never gets old. 🥳 #TheMessaGroup #BirthdayBrownies #ClientLove #RealEstateWithHeart

The truth is… I’m a little spoiled. 💛 For the past year and a half, James has been my secret weapon — not just in life, but in real estate too. Whether it was walking homes with my clients, reviewing inspection reports, handling odd jobs for sellers, or just being a steady hand when I needed it most, he was always there. He recently accepted an amazing new job (we’re so proud of him!), and while I couldn’t be happier for this next chapter in his career, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t already missing having him so close and so available. We’re adjusting to this new rhythm, and I’m endlessly grateful for everything he’s done behind the scenes — for me, and for my clients. James, your quiet support means the world. 💫 Now go crush it at your new job — just don’t forget to save a little time for us. 😉 #husbandgoals #lucky

✨ Staging = Secret Sauce ✨ Want to know a real estate hack? Staged homes sell faster and for more money. Every. Single. Time. 💰💨 For this beauty, we gave it the full glow-up: 🎨 Fresh paint to brighten things up 🧼 New carpet for that clean, cozy feel 💡 Perfect lighting to set the mood 🛋️ And of course—staging to steal the show Why does it work? Because staging helps buyers see themselves living there. It turns a house into a home—and that emotional connection? Priceless. 💕 Buyers fall in love faster, make quicker decisions, and are often willing to pay more when a home looks this good. Moral of the story? Don’t skip the staging. It’s the ultimate power move. 🏡✨ #HomeGoals #StagedToSell #RealEstateTips #BeforeAndAfter

Yes, that’s me—shovel in hand, working side-by-side with my husband (and contractor) to get this property ready for market 🏡🪏 From staging and strategy to sweat equity, this is what you get when you work with a full-service broker: someone who shows up, rolls up their sleeves, and actually cares about the outcome.

We ran into a few of our friends while they were out “Shoppin’ with their Gnomies” in Historic Downtown North Bend🛍️🍄🙌 One of the biggest joys in this business? Mentorship. I’m so excited to be mentoring Keren—a friend’s daughter and a rising star in real estate! Watching her dive in, ask thoughtful questions, and learn by doing has been such a rewarding experience. We’ve been working together on: • Finding new business & having fun while doing it • Enhancing client care through hands-on learning • Exploring creative ways to bring unique value to every client experience Keren is already showing what it means to be intentional, curious, and client-focused—and I can’t wait to see where her journey takes her! #mentor #northbendwa

Spent the day touring homes out in beautiful Enumclaw with one of my awesome buyers—and their sweet mom came along too, which made it even more fun! I always love when family joins in the process—it adds such a special layer to the experience. We haven’t found “the one” just yet, but we’re getting closer and staying ready for when the right home comes along. Buying a home is such a personal journey, and sometimes it takes a little patience to find the perfect fit. It’s not always about rushing into something—it’s about making sure it feels right. I always remind my clients: when it’s the right home, you’ll know. Until then, we keep showing up, learning, and staying ready to make that strong move when the time is right! #patience #dreamhome #realestate

We’re fired up for our next Elevated Client Care project—this one’s going to be a transformation! We’re bringing fresh life to this property with: • Crisp new paint and carpet • Boosted curb appeal • A refreshed deck space • An updated and functional laundry room • & a full clean-up of the beautiful acreage STAY TUNED—this one’s going to shine! #HomeImprovement #comingsoon #comingsoonlisting

It's exciting and inspiring to see howvthese two ladies get persevere, even when they are thrown a bunch of 💩 again and again!! The bakeshop will be openning soon,🤞! I had the opportunity to help them clean a bit last night. It is really cool to see everyone pitch in to help this local business!

Do you feel the same??? I'm struggling right now! Who else feels like no matter how hard you work, there's never enough time to shorten the TODO list? It's like, I cross off 20 things, but 50 things get added, so my list is now even longer!! It is so frustrating!! Am I right??? I'd really appreciate you commenting below if you've ever felt this way...I'd love to know it's not just me!! Photo of Luna and Camper...these fur babies are my saviors...when I need to just take a moment and reset, they are my go tos! I don't know what I'd do without them!

I’m always spoiled when I meet up with these clients BUT this message truly made my week. THIS is why I do what I do 💕 “First and foremost, I so want to thank you for all the advice you graciously gave to us. You are sincerely a fountain of knowledge and creative, resourceful ideas for tackling challenges. In education, we’ve learned that teaching problem-solving skills to kids is far more impactful on a child’s ability to thrive than filling their heads with textual facts. We work on teaching problem-solving skills, and as it is with any intellectual pursuit, all kids/adults can learn those skills. However, there are few individuals who are born, driven by the simple joy of quickly and creatively designing solutions to ever-increasing complex problems. You are one of those very few people, who is sincerely gifted in problem-resolution. Don’t take your gift lightly, Alicia, you and your abilities are extremely rare! I also want to thank you for our conversation yesterday. There are so few people that you can have a stimulating conversation with now, one in which everyone enjoys the exchange of ideas, as we search to understand the complexity of issues and views. One common value that we all consistently shared in our discussion was the need for all of us to accept and appreciate each other.” #NorthBend #realtor #clientlove

Don’t let anyone dull your shine or dampen your attitude!! “Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force.” - Irving Berlin Nothing in life is so hard that you can’t make it easier by the way you take it. This is something I often talk to my clients about – for buyers when they get discouraged after losing out on a home, or when nothing is coming on the market that they can afford, and for sellers when they haven’t received an offer in 3 days, or are frustrated with an offer received before the review date. Realizing that WE have control of this “attitude" thingy is HUGE! Thank you, @vannoy.carol for sharing the quote with me! #attitude #personality
