“First and foremost thank you for visiting my website and taking a moment to get to know me. We hope the information you find about Olympia area Real Estate among the pages of this website to be useful and easily accessed.

Many people ask where I came up with the name Team 242 for my business...the number 242 is my late son Malachi's motocross racing number. It was the perfect way for me to honor his memory and give me the incentive I need each and every day to remain focused on working diligently to provide each and every client with the best possible Real Estate service so they will in turn refer their friends, family & coworkers”. Together we are a great team!

ABOUT TRISH:

 As a young girl Trish was known for her "free spirited" nature, always up for a new adventure she was constantly on the go. At fifteen she packed her bag and left home determined to hitchhike across the country, visiting all but two of the fifty states along the way.

At twenty one she became a mother, by twenty two she found herself a single mother. Up to the challenge Trish set out to be the best mom she knew how to be. She raised her son with a unique closeness that was admired by many. Malachi & Trish shared a love for motocross (#242), camping, fishing, skateboarding and trying anything new and exciting!

Trish met her husband Joe and his three boys in 1999 through mutual friends, it was an immediate love connect (for Trish anyways). It was only a matter of time before the two families came together to settle down in Tenino. All the boys prospered in the small town atmosphere, excelling in their academics and sports...just what the family needed.

In 2005 Trish's soul started stirring, ready for a new adventure she set her sights on pursuing her dream career in Real Estate here in the Olympia area. With her 5 man cheering squad behind her she reached her goal and was licensed in February of 2006 at Olympia Real Estate. However, tragedy soon struck the happy family as, Malachi passed away on April 6th in a boating accident on Lake Havasu while vacationing for spring break. The family and the town of Tenino grieved the loss of a a loving and beautiful soul.

Trish was back to work at Olympia Real Estate within a couple of months and was amazed to find that by the end of the year she had been recognized as a "Top Producer" for 2006!! The following summer Joe joined Trish creating an endlessly fun and unstoppable Real Estate Team.

Trish’s and Joe’s “the glass is half full" mindset has been an added inspiration for their sons. Aaron, after battling Cystic Fibrosis his entire life received a lifesaving double lung transplant on March 8th 2007. This new lease on life has energized Aaron who has now created Breathe 4 Tomorrow, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting Cystic Fibrosis kids and their families both pre & post op. Brandon graduated from Berkley University of California with a degree in psychology and is now teaching along with his wife in the Bay area. Joey is still attending high school in Mercer Island. He is a self taught musician like his father, who also enjoys Lacrosse, skateboarding and volunteering for Medical Teams International.

In summer of 2008 Trish went to work for Van Dorm Realty. She appreciates the opportunity to work for Bob Van Dorm and Jeff & Diane Pust and add to the legacy Bob has created in Real Estate here in the Olympia & the Thurston County area!
