Real Estate Investors of Kitsap (REI Kitsap) recently announced a partnership with the Real Estate Association of Puget Sound (REAPS).

REAPS is one of the largest real estate associations and is headquartered in Bellevue. The purpose of the association is to provide education, information and networking to further members’ real estate investment goals. REAPS holds monthly meetings in Kirkland, Everett, Fife, and Mercer Island where local and national speakers provide education on a variety of real estate investment topics.

“The Kitsap County real estate market offers a tremendous amount of benefits and opportunities for investment,” said Terry Arndt, president of REI Kitsap. “We are very excited about this partnership and what it will provide the members of both organizations. But most importantly, we look forward to the spotlight this partnership puts on our local real estate industry.”

Katherine Swanberg, president of REAPS stated, “REI Kitsap is a solid organization with a quality group of real estate investors. They have proven that Kitsap County is in fact an ideal market for real estate investors. We look forward to continuing the work that has been accomplished by their leadership team.”

On Nov. 5 at 6:30 p.m., REI Kitsap and REAPS will host a meeting at the Poulsbo Library announcing the details of the partnership, including a description of the REAPS organization, member benefits and a question and answer session. The public is welcome to attend. Attendance will be free.
