Ashley & Co®

[wushigod]

On April 8, 2011, 27-year-old real estate agent Ashley Okland was holding an open house for a model townhome in the quiet, upscale suburb of West Des Moines, Iowa on a sunny afternoon—something the successful agent had done many times before. Shortly before 2 p.m., a nearby employee working in the complex heard a commotion inside the townhouse and went to investigate. Inside, the worker discovered Okland unconscious and bleeding on the floor and called 911.Medics rushed Okland to a Des Moines trauma center, where she later died of two gunshot wounds.West Des Moines Police found the crime scene inside the home baffling, with no signs of a struggle, no evidence of theft or sexual assault, no clear apparent motive.Okland’s case quickly became national news. Despite nearly 900 leads and 500 interviews in the ensuing years, it went cold and remains unsolved.The Beverly Carter CaseOkland’s murder, while shocking, seemed unusual in the real estate business at the time. But just three years later, on September 25, 2014, 50-year-old real estate agent Beverly Carter, a top agent in Arkansas, disappeared while showing a house to a prospective male client in Scott, Arkansas, an isolated area outside of Little Rock.After Carter’s body was discovered in a shallow grave two weeks later, suspects Aaron Lewis and his estranged wife Crystal Lowery were eventually arrested, tried and convicted of Carter’s abduction and murder. They admitted to setting up a fake house showing with Carter so they could kidnap her for ransom—and then killing her when the plot went awry. Lewis was sentenced to two life terms and Lowery was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Disturbing Statistics The Okland and Carter cases reflect a disturbing pattern of real estate industry violence that affects professionals in the field, regardless of age, location and even gender.According the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, 23 real estate-related professionals died from violence on the job in 2022. And a 2022 safety survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) revealed that 2 percent of residential real estate agents were victims of a crime while on the job, meaning 30,000 of the 1.5 million agents reported they were victims of a robbery, physical attack or sexual assault. The survey also found that 23 percent of respondents reported feeling concerned for their safety.In the case of Beverly Carter, when Lewis was asked why he targeted her, he responded, “Because she was just a woman that worked alone—a rich broker.”For Jen Stanbrough, a managing broker in West Des Moines and close friend and former co-worker of Ashley Okland, April 8 is a day that will always haunt her.“In looking back over my early real estate days, I had experienced several unsettling incidents or realized I’d placed myself in scenarios or positions which had left me vulnerable,” Stanbrough tells A&E True Crime. “I hadn’t been taught or thought about precautions.”But Okland’s murder inspired Stanbrough to get serious about real estate agent safety. She became a founding member of the Des Moines Area Association of Realtors’ Safety Committee, and helped author the REALTOR® Safety Pledge and the National Association of Realtors Safe Showing Listing Form, a tool used to talk with sellers about the importance of their own safe practices.Push for Safety PracticesStanbrough regularly keeps Okland’s story alive to warn other real estate professionals about the dangers they potentially face in the field.“It can happen to you, to one of your friends, a colleague or family member,” she told attendees at a recent safety webinar in September 2023 for REALTOR® Safety Month. “I don’t tell you that to scare you; I want you to be prepared.”

Isn't There Something About a Right to Bare Arms?

New Post has been published on https://www.ebvs.blog/2023/01/13/isnt-there-something-about-a-right-to-bare-arms/

Isn't There Something About a Right to Bare Arms?

Ok, yes, bad joke and hardly original, but this story deserves any ridicule it can get.

The Missouri House of Representatives decided today that they needed a tighter dress code for women, and women only. It seems that women having bare arms was a problem for some legislators,

The changes were spearheaded by state Rep. Ann Kelley (R), a co-sponsor who was among the Republicans seeking to require women to wear a blazer when in the chamber. She was met by swift opposition from Democrats who called it “ridiculous.”

The state House eventually approved a modified version of Kelley’s proposal, which allows for cardigans as well as jackets, but still requires women’s arms to be concealed

Just to add to the silliness, at one point, the Representative who made the proposal agreed the discussion was ridiculous:

“You know what it feels like in this room to have a bunch of men in this room looking at your top to decide whether it’s appropriate or not?” said state Rep. Ashley Aune, a Democrat, adding that the entire debate was “ridiculous.”

At this point, Kelley appeared to have grown frustrated. She then retorted that it was indeed “ridiculous” that her colleagues were engaging in such a head debate over her proposed changes.

“Lady, you’re right, it is ridiculous,” Kelley said. “It is absolutely ridiculous that we have to talk about it on the House floor in the House chamber. Why should we even talk about something like this?”

Aune responded by pointing out that it was Kelley’s proposal that started the debate.

Welcome Home! New Hampshire’s Welcome Island Is a Private, Gorgeous Retreat

realtor.com

We’ve all had that moment—the one where life becomes a bit too stressful and living on an island far, far away from civilization seems oh-so-appealing.

For those of you who know this experience all too well, Welcome Island—situated in Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire—offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“It feels like a tropical oasis,” co-listing agent Becky Fuller says of the island, which is now on the market for $2.2 million.

Lake Winnipesaukee is New Hampshire’s largest lake, at 72 square miles. There are 264 islands on the lake, but Welcome Island is the only one on the market offering a move-in ready, custom home.

Welcome Island is one of the first island and waterfront properties to be developed at the lake, according to the current owner, Robert Brown.

“The Belknap Country Registry of Deeds has a record of the island being sold December 1893,” Brown says.

You’ll need a vessel to move in. “The house is reachable by boat only,” Fuller says, “which makes for an incredibly unique way to experience Lake Winnipesaukee.”

Brown currently has a private dock slip in Meredith, which is about 10 minutes away from Welcome Island. Two other access points are available: Meredith Town Docks, which is about 15 minutes away, and Weirs Beach in Laconia.

Welcome Island’s three-story home measures 3,434 square feet. It includes a master suite with an oversize closet and bathroom, and two bedrooms are located on the top floor. The customized home interior features curved walls and large windows to take in the scenery.

“You feel like you’re on a ship when inside,” says Fuller.

“Considering all the features it has—thoughtful design, spectacular panoramic views, low boat traffic, natural sandy beaches—it truly is a one-of-a-kind property,” says co-listing agent Mark Ashley, who specializes in island properties.

There’s an abundance of outdoor space to sunbathe, fish, take in the views, and relax with friends and family. Atop the home is a widow’s walk, which is perfect for taking in the beauty of the night sky or the lake on sunny days.

A gazebo and separate deck offer plenty of outdoor space for entertaining with friends or relaxing alone. Another deck follows the outer curve of the island, creating an ideal spot for fishing.

The island also attracts an abundance of wildlife. Brown spoke fondly of the animals he’s seen there, including deer, a moose, and a family of minks.

“One afternoon, a duck walked up the ramp, across the deck, and into the living room,” he recalls. “It took a look around and then made its way back to the water.”

Why the duck swam away is a question for the universe. If we were lucky enough to land on this welcome respite, we’d never want to leave.
