2026: Our Biggest Year Yet — Impact, Growth, Community, and Changing Lives Across the PNW

Every year gives us a chance to level up… but 2026?
This is the year Susan and I go all-in on helping families build wealth, supporting foster teens, strengthening community, and leading with purpose across Vancouver WA and the Portland Metro.
We’re stepping into 2026 with clarity, energy, and a mission that’s bigger than real estate.
This year is about changing lives — one family, one teen, one event, one relationship at a time.
So here it is…
Our 2026 Vision. Our Goals. Our Commitments. Our Impact. Let’s go.
🏡 Helping 45–50 Families Build Wealth Through Real Estate
Real estate isn’t about transactions — it’s about futures.
And in 2026, we’re raising the bar.
Susan and I are committed to helping 45–50 families buy, sell, downsize, invest, or make their next big move with confidence. Whether it’s a first home, a forever home, or a strategy to build long-term wealth, we’re bringing VIP service, powerful negotiation, and a lifetime of experience to every relationship.
Families deserve a guide. Families deserve a strategy. Families deserve to win.
That’s our job.
🎓 12 Home Buying Classes — and Turning Education Into Homeownership
Education changes everything, especially in real estate.
That’s why we’re teaching 12 Home Buying Classes in 2026 — one every month — designed to turn uncertainty into clarity and renters into homeowners.
Join us at our Next Class:
But teaching isn’t enough.
We’re stepping up with a measurable goal:
Help two people per month purchase a home directly from our classes.
Imagine the impact:
Twenty-four new homeowners…
Twenty-four families building equity…
Twenty-four lives completely changed.
That’s why we do this.
💙 100 Hands for Foster Care — 100 Members by June + $10,000 Quarterly to Foster Teens 
This one is close to our hearts.
Our mission with 100 Hands for Foster Care is simple: build a community of people who want to support teens aging out of foster care — the teens who often slip through the cracks.
In 2026, we’re going BIG:
✨ 100 members by mid-year
✨ $100 each per quarter
✨ $10,000 donated EVERY quarter to support foster teens
This isn’t charity — it’s empowerment.
These dollars go toward housing support, life-skills training, mentorship, education, employment, and opportunities these kids deserve.
And if you want to follow the journey, here’s where you can plug in:

🧼 Our 2026 Confidence Kit Drive — $6,000+ in Essential Items for Foster Teens
Every May, we rally the community for one powerful purpose: equipping foster teens with confidence and dignity.
In 2026, our goal is to raise over $6,000 in hygiene items — toothbrushes, shampoo, deodorant, skincare, self-care items, and everything a teen needs to show up confidently at school, work, or life.
When we meet real needs, we create real change.
💼 Teen Career & Job Fair — 150–200 Teens + 75+ Businesses + Real Job Offers 
This event is one of the highlight moments of our year.
In 2026, we’re going bigger than ever:
🌟 150–200 teens attending
🌟 75+ local businesses represented
🌟 15% of businesses actively hiring for summer jobs
Jobs change lives.
Skills change futures.
Connection changes everything.
And YOU can be part of it — by sharing, volunteering, or inviting businesses to attend.
🎄 Christmas Gift Card Drive — $6,000 in Holiday Support for Foster Teens
Nothing hits the heart quite like the holidays for kids in foster care.
In 2026, our goal is simple and powerful:
🎁 Raise $6,000 in gift cards
🎁 Support foster teens in Clark & Cowlitz Counties
🎁 Make sure every teen feels seen, supported, and valued
Every gift card becomes a moment of hope.
