Top 5 Reasons to Live in East Tacoma | Melo Hogan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What are the top five things you need to know about living in East Tacoma? Abode broker Melo Hogan lives there, and she answers like a neighbor, not a brochure. She starts with the people — the kind of neighbors who'll strike up a conversation with someone they just met. Then the small businesses around McKinley Hill: Dusty's Hideaway, the Filipino-Latin fusion spot El Lechon Loco, and a Mexican market pop-up off East 72nd where she went for elotes and came home with a puppy.

Pregnancy, Work, and Real Estate | Jessica Knicely (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of insideABODE, host Dave Jones revisits a conversation from the archive. 🔁 A Throwback Thursday re-release. Originally recorded August 2019. Jessica Knicely talks candidly about being pregnant while running a real estate business — and the systems she and Ryan put in place to make the transition survivable.

Overall, a home in Pierce County has a 34% chance of selling right now, with 2,469 active listings against 843 pendings, a $559K median sold price, and 34 median days on market.

Becoming an Airbnb Superhost in Tacoma | Jessica Knicely (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of insideABODE, host Dave Jones revisits a conversation from the archive. 🔁 A Throwback Thursday re-release. Originally recorded August 2019.
