“Loving Island Life” Holiday Client Appreciation Event

Bainbridge Island Branch Hosts Holiday Hospitality

More than a hundred clients and local business owners joined the members of the Bainbridge Island Branch of Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty on December 13th for a festive evening of holiday cheer.  Hosted at the Island Gallery a midst works of art, home furnishings and other collectibles, the guests were treated to fine wines by Amelia Wynn, exotic crepe creations by Bainbridge Crepes and acoustical music by Ranger & The Rearrangers. Celebrating their second year in operation, the Bainbridge Island Branch has quickly emerged as the fastest growing and third largest in terms of total dollar volume in the past year (and the most productive per agent).
