I don’t normally mix business with pleasure here on my ‘CrabbingIntheHood’ blog, but I wanted to let my readers know about a really awesome property that I’ve recently listed over in the Chico area, just off Seabeck Highway.

The house is located at 5578 NW Millglade Lane, Bremerton WA. It’s a 2003 quality-built home situated on a secluded 1.33 acre parcel on a dead end cul-de-sac in Central Kitsap County.

You can access the virtual tour by going to this link:

and lastly, as the home shows up on the Windermere Website:

29011205-14365-NW-Rhoda-Lane-Seabeck-WAI promise that I won’t make it a habit to promote any real estate stuff here on CITH, but I really wanted to share an amazing value with those of you who frequent this blog, and can appreciate properties with water view and beach access.

14365 NW Rhonda Lane, Seabeck (MLS#29011205)

Now offered for only $199,900

It’s rare to find a home in the Seabeck/Miami Beach area for this price, especially one that allows you access to a private community beach. This home is just around the corner from the public boat launch and minutes from the soon-to-be-constructed Olympic View Marina.

It would make the perfect retirement home, 2nd-home, or vacation get-a-way.

If you or someone you know would be interested, just shoot me an email, and I’ll send you more details….

The Crabby Realtor in Kitsap County WA

I love dungeness crabYes, it’s true. I can’t deny it. I love crabs. And not just any ole’ crabs, mind you. But Dungeness Crabs. The delicious ‘mouth-watering’ variety that is plentiful here in the scenic Pacific Northwest.

When the crabbing season rolls around here on the Puget Sound WA, you can typically find me out cruising the deep, clear waters of Hood Canal in my trusty C-Dory, in search of the illusive ‘Dungies.’ 16 foot C-Dory Angler

As real estate professionals and blogging enthusiasts, we hear so much about ‘branding’ and how to effectively distinguish yourself from the masses.

In his book, “Realty Blogging,” well-know social media expert, Paul Cheney, talks about the importance of ‘Branding’ in your blog.

I’m wondering if using a crab may not necessarily be the most effective kind of ‘branding.’ Do I really want to be known as the “Crabby” real estate guy? Some crusty, hard-shelled bottom feeder? I mean, seriously, it’s nothing glamorous like “The Deadliest Catch.” About the most dangerous thing that’s happened to me is when I forgot to put the boat plugs in. I have the scar to prove it too!

 sunset on the hood canal waI guess you can probably get away with such seemingly unprofessional ’branding’ on various social networking platforms like MySpace or Facebook. I’ve had a MySpace account for quite a while, but it’s not something I use for attracting business per se.

I know it may seem silly or unprofessional to some. But crabbin’ is one of my passions. There is something very primal and relaxing to me about being out on the ocean. All the stresses of my day quickly fall away the minute my boat’s in the water. The view of the massive Olympic Mountain Range rising up dramatically from the shore reminds me that there’s a much greater design and purpose behind this life that we live.

So yeah, I love crabs! It’s just one of the many reasons why I love living here on the Kitsap Peninsula in beautiful Washington State.

But you don’t have to worry. I doubt I’d ever go so far as to have a picture of a crab on my business cards. But I may just include a really great recipe for crab cakes in my next newsletter!
