Thriving Artists’ Capitol Hill Condo

August 4, 2009/by Tracy Shaffer

I am an agent of change.

I love the magic and power of story.

I believe other’s stories are as interesting as my own and that hearing them matters.

I believe that every home has a story and that we are their contributing authors.

I believe that the real estate transaction is at its heart, a human transaction.

I believe owning a home is claiming your place on earth.

I believe life is about change, and that people buy/sell homes because of life changes, not market ones.

I could live in yoga pants or Paris… but not at the same time (unless there’s a pandemic).

I believe in honesty, collaboration, and the Oxford comma.

I believe that relationships and women get better with age.

I believe the imagination is the most powerful force on earth.

I’ve been known to take a snow day in the summer.

I believe that dreams come true if you let them and that days are dreams in 3-D.

I believe a good laugh can heal the heart, and a day at the beach can solve most problems.

I believe that traveling, whether a road trip or a global trek, is a spiritual experience.

I believe seeing the Milky Way puts everything in perspective.

I believe Millennials will save the world. Including those living in my basement.

I trust that no matter how dark the night, the sun will rise again.

I believe it is not enough to be touched by life, you must be moved.
