Steve Rowe Windermere Realtor

only 4 miles away from where my mother and grandmother grew up on the Historic Red Brick Road, known as 196th Ave NE in Redmond. My siblings and I were fortunate to ride lawn mowers all over the property while growing up. My grandpa spoiled us and would always try and get all three mowers working, so everyone could ride or be towed by the trailers. These lawn mowers were just for us, no blades, just wheels. In High school, we would bring friends over during late start mornings and enjoy my grandma’s famous crepes (my family still calls them “roll-ups”). While in high school I enjoyed competing for all three years at the varsity level in Football, Wrestling, and Lacrosse. I then went on to the University of Montana with a scholarship in Football. This did not work out, as I had a torn tendon in a knee. The experience had opened my vision to a whole different world and I knew it was time to get down to business. In Montana, I started selling cable services door to door. It worked out so well that I was recruited to be a part of a team that traveled around the country to open different markets. We were required to drive to a city and then start selling and recruiting. I had a great experience learning how to listen to many needs in many different situations. This was rewarded by being nominated and receiving a “rising star award”, and invited on the yearly company trip to the Bahamas with all upper management. After a couple of years, I decided it was time to move back home to Washington, to get back to family. I started on the ground floor at a corporate housing company as a specialist; driving a moving truck delivering and picking up furniture from clients and corporate units. In one year, I moved over to a customer service role serving the guests that were staying in the company units. Within another year I was promoted to a sales role to sell rental packages along with the furniture that was no longer needed. I greatly enjoyed working with stagers and realtors and have a passion to help people. This passion brought me to a decision to take a leap from a “great career” and start a better one as a Real Estate Broker. There is so much more to talk about, but I am more curious to hear about you. I can’t wait to hear your story and help you in the continuous journey of building memories. Thank you for your time,

Steve Rowe
