About this user

When Penny McLaughlin says, "There's no substitute for experience," she means it. Penny began her real estate career at the age of 12 by assisting her mother, a successful agent in upstate New York. By the age of 18, Penny was a licensed REALTOR, and her career trajectory might have gone uninterrupted except that she married and began a family. Knowing from experience the commitment full-time real estate required, Penny chose to stay home to raise her family, which grew over the years to include the more than 300 foster children she took care of with her husband Bill. Penny first came to Washington State on a vacation following Bill's death. She brought with her, in a motor home, eight of her foster kids and her own two sons, showing them the ocean for the first time. When she came back to live, she settled on Bainbridge Island. Returning to real estate in 1988 was a natural progression for her. Not only did she have the experience, she saw it as an extension of her dedication to service. "I love real estate," she says. "It's not work for me, it's helping people." An important part of being able to help people, for Penny, is taking her profession seriously. "I'm not playing games with people's prize assets," she says. Consequently, Penny has worked hard over the years to increase her own knowledge: She is a STAR POWER Star, a designation given to only 150 REALTORS nationwide that represents both her achievement as a REALTOR and her dedication to continuing education; and she recently became a Certified Distressed Property Expert to help people avoid foreclosure whenever possible. Eventually Penny started her own business, which she called Penny's Team. She doesn't like to say that anyone works "for" her but rather that they work "with" her. To prevent what she calls "split loyalties," she represents only sellers while her Buyers Specialists represent only buyers. It's a system she believes works best to serve her clients, who know her as both an informed advocate and tough negotiator. Penny and her team are a visible part of life on the Kitsap Peninsula: Many residents can recall seeing one of Penny's three full-sized moving trucks, immediately recognizable by the profile image of Penny herself on the front of a penny. The trucks are available to Penny's clients but are also frequently loaned to various community groups free of charge because, she says, "I believe in giving before you get." Penny's community involvement over the years has included helping to establish the Boys and Girls Club on Bainbridge Island, serving on the inaugural board of Habitat For Humanity in Kitsap County as well as the board for the Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce, and her current tenure on the board for the Kitsap County Association of REALTORS, where she promotes ongoing learning for REALTORS on the education committee. She also volunteers, with her fellow REALTORS, to collect pet food for donation to the Humane Society, and she can often be seen driving around the peninsula accompanied by Angel, her Miniature Papillon, and Mia, her Chihuahua.
