After 3+ years of refuting, critiquing and criticising the writings of The Seattle Time’s Elizabeth Rhodes on real estate matters, the Times has finally heard our pleas and replaced her with a new, actual Real Estate Editor. Meet Cindy Zetts. In her first article for the Times in yesterday’s Real Estate section, Cindy quickly demonstrates that “SHE GETS IT!” She has experienced multiple real estate transactions and has taken the time to study, and thus understand, how real estate works.
I am both thrilled, and relieved, that Ms. Rhodes has been demoted in what appears to be a lateral move with the new title of “Business Reporter”. Great! Let her torture the business sector for a few years with her uninformed, poorly researched, and otherwise confusing and misleading articles.
Unless you are in the business, my zeal for this improvement may seem over-emphasized. Allow me to explain: The time that we have spent explaining Ms. Rhodes inaccuracies and wrong-headed view of real estate over the last 3+ years to confused clients and prospects has been frustrating, to say the least. Now we can fully focus on the tasks that matter, helping people navigate the real estate buying and selling processes without fighting the rip tides caused by Ms. Rhodes.
Although it is early in the game, if the first article by Ms. Zetts is any indication, Western Washington may finally have a columnist that will help them in their quest to understand real estate.

Bill and Diana, thanks for your time spent on correcting the inaccuracies over the last couple of years. Your oversight of this information is greatly appreciated by those of us who depend on knowing accurately what the market will bear. I certainly appreciated your expertise when concluding the sale of our condo. Thanks, Tom
