Sales increase despite historic dip in number of available houses
-Kevin Blocker
Mary Stanton, a Realtor at Spokane Valley-based Live Real Estate, says she has been involved in selling 11 homes since becoming a full-time broker last June. Spokane real estate agent Mary Stanton worked part-time in real estate for decades before deciding late last year to make it her full-time profession. Despite the arrival of COVID-19, the 51-year-old Stanton says she’s busier in real estate now than all of 2019 – and not because she’s in it full time. She sold 14 single-family homes in 2019 as a part-time agent. Having started full time last June, Stanton, a real estate agent with Spokane Valley-based Live Real Estate, sold 11 in the last seven months.
