Island Group | Sotheby’s International Realty now has an agent living on Whidbey Island . . . Beth Robinson.
Sotheby's International Realty's dedication to excellence is world-renowned. Sotheby's Real Estate Services Division makes an unwavering commitment to its customers, who in return know that they will be working with the world's most knowledgeable real estate professionals.
Sotheby's agents have been active in the San Juan Islands for years. Discerning national and international buyers have long sought out the San Juan Islands for distinctive properties offering a mild climate, abundant wildlife and exquisite views. Whidbey Island, just to the south is increasingly becoming an equally important destination for discriminating homeowners. The New York Times has called Whidbey Island the "West Coast Nantucket."
Beth says: "To me, Whidbey Island offers much more than the San Juan’s as we are a fifteen minute ferry ride from the mainland…and just another 30 minutes to Seattle. We have a fabulous climate, a community rich with artists, writers, musicians, dancers, farmers and fisherman, bountiful wildlife, beautiful distinctive architecture…and all the outdoor activities one could want. It doesn’t get much better than Whidbey Island."
Beth Robinson is an outstanding example of Sotheby's philosophy of excellence. She has an intimate knowledge of her community, a powerful work ethic and extensive business skills. The best representation for sellers means getting top dollar for their home; for buyers, the best representation means find a luxurious property at the perfect price with a minimum of stress.
Beth has been a real estate agent since 1983, and a broker associate since 2000. From 1975 to 1986 she worked as a building contractor, working on cottage remodels to multi-million dollar estates. Beth sold and listed luxury properties throughout Santa Cruz and Monterey counties, including Carmel-By-The-Sea where she lived and worked for 16 years. Beth was an Associate Broker with Sotheby's International Realty-Monterey Peninsula before moving to Whidbey Island in 2006.

October19 Updates From Beth:
It's fall on Whidbey Island and the colors are magnificent. In my garden, the mums are blooming like never before and some of the trees have already turned color...the vine maples in particular are bright red while others are yellows and orange. I love fall and particularly here on Whidbey.
Our market is a bit better than last fall, although we are still experiencing reluctance in the higher priced homes. Seattle is showing a nice increase in sales so we should see a rise soon.
One of the interesting facts that has come out of this current market is the shift in house size. People across the board are looking for smaller, more compact homes. The days of the McMansions seem to be waning. For those who have large homes, the pricing and marketing is even more important.
The wild turkeys should arrive any day now. They are always so much fun to watch, eating the slugs and snails in the garden and walking slowly down the middle of the road, a very local traffic phenomenon.
Let me know if you would like weekly updates on what is selling and/or listed on the island. Have a wonderful Fall season, wherever you may be.
Best Regards,
Beth
