Congratulations Joell and the Pine Valley community!

Joell Marchese is San Ramon Valley Unified School District's Teacher of the Year.  Joell is a science teacher at Pine Valley Middle School.  She visited  RMA and Nathan Ellis presented her with a donation for her classroom.

Joell shared her passion for the children and the classroom with us in just a few short minutes. It was evident why she is the recipient of this prestigious award.

Joell will represent the district in the Contra Costa County Teacher of the Year competition, and has already advanced to the semifinals!

May all children be so fortunate to have a mentor in their lives like Joell Marchese.

Best Wishes in the competition!!  It was truly an honor to meet you Joell! Cathy Lee

I was parking my car to attend RMA  this morning when Tom Proell and Debra Powell said they were talking about me.  Oh, was I embarrassed-but then.... 

Yes, I admit it.  I am guilty!! 

I am a car dancer!!!  I had just heard one of my favorite Elvis Costello songs, "Everyday I Write the Book" and could not resist dancing while driving.  

If you want to release stress!!

If you want to reduce calories!!

If you want to  BE HAPPY!!

DANCE IN YOUR CAR!!!!!!!!!

I guarantee you will bring smiles to the faces to those around you while feeling good about yourself!!

Truly, Cathy Lee

Our staging services help make homes a market standout. Studies repeatedly show that professionally staged homes sell faster.   RESA has a staging statistic report released February 2009 on their site to download for your clients and Realtors. 

Cathy Lee offers 6 levels of services.  Today the REARRANGE was rewarding for a couple transferred to Seattle.

Today we used existing furnishings and accessories.  We created visual square footage, created a dining room and enhanced this floor plan to maximize this home's selling potential.
