The Wurden Team Joins Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty Global Network; Expands Service Area in Kitsap County

Sunday, February 17th, 2013


Kitsap County (PRWEB) February 13, 2013

Executives at Seattle – based Realogics Sothebys International Realty announced today that Irene Wurden, a leading Real Estate Broker in Kitsap County and a Certified International Property Specialist, has joined the Bainbridge Island branch of the global real estate network. Associate Brokers Meg Burkett and Chris Wurden were also confirmed as new team members in response to increasing sales volumes anticipated throughout Kitsap County and beyond.

We are thrilled that Irene Wurden and her team of brokers accepted our invitation to expand our Brand, said Dean Jones, Owner of Realogics Sothebys International Realty. The tides are definitely rising across Puget Sound and we believe a robust housing recovery will reach all of Kitsap County in 2013. The Wurden Team is well positioned to draw resources from both our Seattle and Bainbridge Island branch offices, which includes access to exclusive marketing platforms and a world-wide referral network.

According to research published by Realogics Sothebys International Realty median home prices and sales volumes in 2012 increased by 8 and 15 percent, respectively across the Seattle metro area. Likewise, Bainbridge Island witnessed median home price increases (excluding condominiums) of 6 percent last year with total transactions rising 50 percent above 2011 sales volumes. By contrast median home prices for the mainland Kitsap County (not including Bainbridge Island) remained flat during 2012 but more recently signs point to a sustained recovery in the region, says Jones. He notes that residential sales volumes for all of Kitsap County rose by 45 percent in January 2013 and median home prices were up 33 percent year-over-year, respectively.

The trending is certainly positive and we plan to play a leading role in further market expansion, said Irene Wurden, Principal of The Wurden Team at Realogics Sothebys International Realty. This business is all about experience, knowledge, and exposure. Our franchise network provides tremendous advantages for my team and our clients whether their transaction is located around the corner or around the world.

Wurden says her team will proudly serve clients of all property types and price points and specializes in waterfront properties along the Kitsap peninsula calling it a relative bargain compared with Bainbridge Island or metro Seattle real estate. She will bring to market several multi-million dollar waterfront estates this quarter noting home sales above $ 1 million on Kitsap County mainland grew to five transactions last year when only two such closings occurred in 2011.

A local resident since 1986,Wurden has been representing sellers and buyers in Kitsap, Pierce, Jefferson and Mason Counties for more than twenty years and credits her success, in part to being a global citizen that looks beyond borders. Born in Bulgaria she is fluent in Bulgarian, English, French, and knowledgeable in Russian. She has lived and traveled in more than 40 countries before settling down in Kitsap County to raise her family.

Its time for Kitsap County to be recognized both regionally and internationally for its natural splendor and a prized Northwest lifestyle that we enjoy here at home, adds Wurden. Im joined by an amazing team of professionals to build a world-class residential sales portfolio one client at a time. I feel fortunate to represent Realogics Sothebys International Realty we will work together to artfully unite extraordinary homes with extraordinary lives.

William Pitt Sothebys International Realty Announces Exclusive Listing of Thimble Island Property

Tuesday, September 25th, 2012


Branford, CT (PRWEB) September 22, 2012

Jepson Island, a private island that resides among the Long Island Sound archipelago known as the Thimble Islands, is the exclusive listing of William Pitt Sothebys International Realty, Inc., executives of the real estate brokerage company announced today.

William Pitt Sothebys International Realty said that the island is one of the few that is habitable among the hundreds of Thimble Islands. Offered at $ 1,995,000, the property has .28 acre of private land and includes a contemporary vacation home, built in 1980 and constructed with natural materials. The 1,018 square-foot, six-room residence offers two bedrooms and one bath in addition to wood floors, vaulted ceilings, skylights, Thermopane windows, a balcony and a deck. Walls of glass showcase vistas of the island and Long Island Sound.

Outside, stone steps lead down to the waterfront, which features a beach, boat dock and mooring. The lot surrounding the home is ideal for outdoor living with open, professionally landscaped grounds and gardens.

This exceptional property is the ultimate getaway. With so few of the Thimble Islands being habitable, it is incredibly rare for an island property like this one to come on the market here in Southern Connecticut, said William Pitt Sothebys International Realty listing agent Margaret Muir, who shares the listing with Tony Nuzzo.

Private, secluded and complete with its own charming vacation home, this island is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy waterfront living off the coast of Connecticut. The property is close to the mainland yet feels a world apart, said Nuzzo.

The Thimble Islands have served as both residences and destinations for celebrities and historic figures alike. The islands are part of the Stony Creek-Thimble Islands Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
