Moving, whether it’s into a new home or to a different area of the country, is undoubtedly an emotional journey. Having made the permanent move to Whidbey Island in 2020 to be closer to my daughter and grandchildren, I understand the complexity of the emotions and the logistics firsthand.

It was hard leaving behind my previous home and saying goodbye to friends. Though I knew I’d be close to my daughter and grandchildren, there was some anxiety about adjusting to a new environment, where to live, and establishing new routines. However, the prospect of starting a new chapter in a beautiful location like Whidbey Island brought excitement and anticipation.

The experience and skills gained from my 25 years in the Supply Chain and Logistics industry played a significant role in accomplishing my move and embarking on this island adventure. This is how those skills were instrumental in my transition:

Problem Solving

Drawing on my expertise in problem-solving, I was able to assess the challenges that would arise during the move and helped me develop effective solutions. This minimized roadblocks and resulted in a smooth transition.

Negotiating

My experience with navigating contract terms and contingencies proved valuable when purchasing my new home. I was able to apply my skills to secure favorable terms and ensure a good outcome for myself and husband.

Listening

My listening skills helped me understand my husband’s needs and preferences. I was able to make decisions that aligned with both of our desires, contributing to a smoother transition and sense of unity.

As we continue to settle into Whidbey Island living, I am filled with excitement and genuine desire to help others with their own moves to this wonderful place.

If you’re ready to embark on your own island adventure, contact me! I would love to put my firsthand experience and skills to work for you. I will help you navigate the emotional and logistical aspects of your own relocation.

My Service Ratings

Gwen Rhines was awesome to work with. We had not selected a Realtor or even a company to work with when we moved to Oak Harbor. We simply pulled into the parking lot and in the late afternoon and asked to speak to anyone, fortunately Gwen was available and started to show us listings and explain the uniqueness of the Oak Harbor market. Gwen did a great job providing us listing she felt we would like to see and showed she had an understanding of our needs and taste in a home. Selecting a local mortgage company made the process seamless with communication between all parties involved. The whole procedure was extremely easy and less stressful than expected as we streamlined towards closing. Gwen's professionalism, personality and knowledge of the market made everything work out with ease and with that we cannot say how much we appreciated her being a part of our new journey.
