Team Diva’s Success Is Because of The Team Not One Individual

Tonight is the annual Awards Dinner for Coldwell Banker Bain for those who produced to Elite Status. This year we are choosing to spend that time with the people who created the success and allowed Team Diva to be considered an “ELITE TEAM” – OUR ACTUAL TEAM! Our team is unique in many respects. Unlike traditional teams, we make decisions based off of a group consensus and input. In addition, we train all our agents to be top producers. The general idea being we are a team of mega stars not just one solo star and their support staff. In the Muggle Real Estate world, this is hard to compute.  Yes, we get it. Team Diva does not fit into your image of a traditional team or a solo top producer. Our team members are not just getting paid a salary to “show houses.” We have no “buyers’ agent” and… Read More »

Chavi M. Hohm’s 10th Year in Real Estate: Lessons Learned and Memories Made

Chavi M. Hohm has been in real estate for 10 years. Wow! On anniversaries like these, one might sum up the sales, awards, the clout, the thought leaders one count as friends, etc. Frankly, as I look back on the last ten years, what comes mind first is the weird stuff that happens in real estate, the fun that we have at the DivaHQ, and the times that I have shown up for my clients regardless of their price point. Because for me, real estate is about my Diva Dwellers and my team, not the awards or stage time. Mind you I will still cut a b!tch if they get in my way, are an ass to our clients, or think they can beat Team Diva. No one does this work better than this Team! My Entrance Into Real Estate Was Made on a Very Dramatic Whim Most everyone has… Read More »

Meet The New Diva Dude: Remington Stokes

Remington grew up in the Pacific Northwest, watching Seattle grow into the incredible economic hub it is today. Real Estate has always been a passion for Remington. Specifically in home remodeling, new construction, design, and marketing. Before joining Team Diva, Remington worked with a residential green-build design firm and with a commercial furniture supplier. His ability to work hard for clients in fast-paced, fast-changing environment make him a genuine hustler Realtor. And, as we like to say at Team Diva.. Things change fast in Divaland In the short time Remington has been with Team Diva we have already seen him jump at the opportunity to help Diva Dwellers, care deeply about his own clients, and take a strong interest in the complexities that comprise our real estate market in Seattle. Get to Know Remington What do you love, Remington? I LOVE singing. I have been singing in choirs since elementary school… Read More »

Thank You – Roy, Rocky, and Michael

Thank you, Roy, Rocky, and Michael. They are the reason we have a team and make being in real estate an amazing journey. We want to thank you from the bottom of hearts. You are good friends, amazing co-workers, and the best of your class in our industry. Very few people can accomplish what you did last year. Personal Challenges and Set Backs Leads to an Impenetrable Team Bond Losing Someone Great – Saturgay Glenn Last year was one of the toughest personal years we have ever had in our lives. It was one of those years you become so bonded as a family/team unit that it is difficult for the outside world to understand just how committed to each other you are. In March we found out that Rocky’s brother had been murdered. It was devastating news for Rocky and his family. Starting in April my health deteriorated to a point… Read More »

Meet New Diva Team Member Dorcas E. Bean

Meet New Diva Team Member Dorcas Bean   Kim and I have known about Dorcas via a multitude of people throughout the years but had never really met until 2015. We first heard Dorcas’ name through our friend Noel. Noel and Dorcas were working together at Freeman. Then we started seeing Dorcas’ real estate cards in our Diva Dwellings. But it was not until Cindy and Caro’s closing cocktail night that we finally met Dorcas in person. Dorcas was working at Nordstrom and was a showing broker during the weekends for a different company. This Spring we saw that Dorcas was in a life transition and we were in need of a detailed person to head up our listing management. Dorcas Bean the Real Estate Queen – Diva Kim Dorcas came on board at Team Diva in April. Dorcas’ ability to go with the flow, wicked sense of humor, and ability… Read More »

Smart and Sassy Team Diva are the Top Producers for 2015

Smart and Sassy Team Diva are the Top Producers for 2015 in our Coldwell Banker Bain Lake Union mothership office. On Monday, we joined many of our cohorts at the Mothership, above Lake Union, to receive our Coldwell Banker International President’s Elite “Team” award for 2015. What is this award you ask? We closed out 2015 as the top producing team and the top producers of our mothership office. Basically, the award means that Team Diva is in the top 2% of real estate sales associates at Coldwell Banker. Eek. Squeel OMG! Let’s just say we are pretty excited. And, more importantly, it is a testament to the hard work, late nights, heart to hearts with buyers, and scrapping like an alley cat for our sellers, this team puts in day in and day out for our Diva Dwellers.  Such a big deal! Across the nation, those who make it into Coldwell Banker… Read More »

The Diva HQ has Moved to SODO

The Diva HQ has Moved to SODO   We loved our little loft above Retail Therapy. But it was time for us to move. All five us sharing one table was getting snuggly. None of us had a quiet spot to meet with our Diva Dwellers. The time had come to find a cool new space in the core of Seattle. Luckily, Roy and Kim found an amazing old 1905 industrial building in SODO across from the Starbucks HQ. As soon as we walked into the space, and saw the paint splattered walls and exposed insulation ceilings, we were in love. Later we found out that the same family has owned the building since 1925. During their tenure, they have rented the space to cool artists, political groups, the sewing ladies downstairs, and now the Divas and Diva Dudes. Let’s just say they are our type of people! Over the last… Read More »

New Diva Team Member – Sarah the Diva Wrangler

You heard right – we hired a new Diva Team Member – Sarah Beahan. As many of you know we are pretty picky about how we hire folks for the team. Many a critter has inquiring about working with the Diva Team. What very few people know is that it looks like fun and games but it is actually a lot of work to be a Diva Team member. And to top it off we are weird. We have found that a good team member is best when they are a friend first, come to Thanksgiving, see our astrologer, has a side artistic passion, knows good booze, enjoys a good drag queen show, likes to cook, and generally really loves to help people. Like I said we are weird and our Diva Dwellers love us for it! The Diva Team has been on a search for just the right person… Read More »

Diva Dweller Love | A Very Diva Brand

So all month, we have been talking about all of the many reasons we love our Diva Dwellers. They share our love for supporting our local community. They have formed one of the most unique and dynamic groups of supportive individuals. And they keep Divaland full of amazing people by being the best referrals the real estate biz has ever seen. Basically, our Diva Dwellers rock. But how is it that we are even lucky enough to have all of these fabulous folks in our life in the first place? Simple. Over the years, Team Diva has gone through a lot — from the time Diva Kim decided to stand out from the crowd by calling herself the “Seattle Real Estate Diva” to when Diva Chavi joined and it officially became a “Team” or even on to our latest re-branding, Divaland has seen a ton of changes. As we have honed the… Read More »

Diva Dweller Love | Community Partnerships

Reason #1 for Diva Dweller Love: Our Diva Dwellers share our passion for supporting various local nonprofits that keep this beautiful city a happy place to live, work, and play. Since the beginning, we Divas have been whole heartedly committed to supporting our local community. Kim and Chavi both worked in non-profits before going into corporate and/or real estate. We know that a dollar raised can provide life-saving funds for a small organization. For those of us in Divaland, a strong community means happier, healthier, and better-off citizens, which in turn translates into more homes sold and more Diva Dwellers! But the home buying and selling is not the only place where we come in — we believe that we have our own role to play in process. That’s why in 2004, Diva Kim jumped on Coldwell Banker Bain’s Community Partnership Program. Through this awesome program, we donated money to nonprofits doing… Read More »
