  I thought I would be used to it by now, but if you move with kids and caboodle, there is a lot to consider and a lot of responsibility. I grew up in West-Berlin, Germany and schemed all my childhood about getting out of the city. Of course, at that time it was an island…(Fall of the Wall). When I was 17, I made it to Hamburg and lived there happily training horses and working in management training, until I was 27. Then I ventured to the US and relocated to Sedona, Arizona. My adventurous spirit took me to Los Angeles where I started buying and selling real estate in the 70's and 80's just for myself. In 1985 I moved to the Southern Oregon Coast and did some more real estate developing, while raising my four children and finally getting a real estate license there. In the year 2000 I moved to Flagstaff, Arizona and made my AZ real estate license. I then moved to Red Lodge, Montana and I started my own real estate company there in 2003, being also licensed in Montana, Minnesota, North Dakota and Wyoming. In 2024 I settled near the quaint town of Rogue River, Oregon. My Montana license is still active while my Oregon license is fresh off the press - again.
  
  I am having a lot of fun helping others to realize their dream regarding relocating into the mountains, a big ranch, small farm or just being able to grow a garden. Southern Oregon is in the growing zone 8 which is fantastic for getting self-sufficient when it comes to food. Many folks here have chickens and some even goats, a horse and a mini cow (they are about the size of a Golden Retriever!)
  
  About the career as a Realtor
  Knowing how hard it is to relocate and trying to find a Realtor that actually helps you a little and is not just out to get a commission, I decided to take up that profession and to do a better job than most. I made this website with as many helpful links as I can roundup, so newcomers would have an easier time.
  
  This profession seems to be in my blood. In 1899 my grandfather was an architect in Berlin, Germany, and rebuilt East Prussia after WWI; my grandmother was a real estate broker in Berlin as well. My mom always took me to construction sites to show me what bearing walls are. It seems to me, I am a born broker - in business since 1899.. ;-)
  

  Here are some compliments I had received:
  
  

  Hi, just wanted to drop you a line and thank you for the OUTSTANDING job you did in marketing and getting an offer on my house.
  When I decided to sign with you, I realized that we were bucking the locals. But after having my property listed with a local agent for the previous year in the best weather, NOTHING. You came and presented your position candidly and made me feel that I was going with a winner. Well, you did it, and in the worst weather. Thanks for the tremendous effort and results. If there is somebody out there that would like to discuss this with me directly please feel free to give them my daytime number.
  All the best

  I've visited many different web sites and looked at hundreds of properties. But, I have never enjoyed visiting any site as much as yours. The pictures and commentaries are wonderful. (At that time I had a page for each of my listings, which I will do again). It's easy to see that you have put much time and effort into making your web site as personal and informative as possible. Thank you.

  Hi Dorothea,
  I have referred a few people to check out your website and just actually wanted to let you know personally that I think you site is extraordinary! I am always missing something when I am checking it out but it makes it seem like I get a new surprise every time I look at it again! I hope we can do more business with you in the future because I feel you are an outstanding agent and you offer your customers more than the traditional agent ever provides. I am only 23 and have been in the business for five years and I truly feel your site and the way you are doing business is just exceptional. I hope to send some interested people your way very soon! Have a great weekend. Best Wishes,
  Nicki (Mortgage Broker)

  Hello Dorothea,
  Just a note to let you know that I think you have one of the most interesting & wisdom-filled websites that I have ever visited. You make me jealous reading about your life and how interesting it has been, and still is! You aren't afraid to follow your heart....Something I have been longing to do all of my life. You should be oh-so-proud of yourSELF.
  Thanks again for the entertaining and wisdom-filled site! Kind Regards,
  Linda
  

  Thank you again for thinking of us Dorothea. You simply must be the best agent up there! It does sound intriguing, so I'll mention it around and see what shakes out. Back to the South Dakota trip I made. I now have about 6 guys and one judge ready to return with me next year. I also have them interested in going in together if there is a large farm/ranch for sale so we can return at will to hunt/fish. I still think we would all be much happier up your way. So I have just got to figure out how to get up there for a few days at least. More later.

  Well Dorothea, with all of that information from my work computer and I brought up all the pictures I got a complete history lesson and how interesting it was. I can't wait to get there and see all of this
