What does Real Estate Have do with a Creamery? The Heartbeat of the Community.

Small businesses are the backbone of our communities, offering variety, choice, and a personal touch that large corporations simply can't match. Whether it's a real estate venture like Rethinking Real Estate or a local creamery such as Mount Rainier Creamery, supporting these enterprises is crucial for maintaining the unique flavor and character of our neighborhoods.

Mount Rainier Creamery (Enumclaw/Buckley) was founded by husband and wife team Ryan and Haylee Mensonides, this creamery started with a dream to produce their own dairy products from their herd of beautiful Jersey cows. Nestled at the foot of the majestic Mount Rainier, the Mensonides family—along with their four sons, dedicates their lives to bringing fresh, wholesome products to their neighbors. The creamery is more than just a business; it's a family affair and a community staple. Their ice cream is pretty amazing as well. :) Stop by their drivethrough, look for the big milk bottle right on Highway 410 in Buckley, for the best soft-serve ice cream cone you've ever had.

Similarly, Rethinking Real Estate was born from a passion for helping families achieve their dream of homeownership. For 24 years, we have strived to create spaces where people feel safe, can unleash their creativity, and build memories that last a lifetime. We know firsthand the challenges of running a small business, from navigating market fluctuations to meeting the diverse needs of our clients.

Because it's just the two of us, we handle every problem faced by our clients personally, allowing us to resolve a wide range of scenarios with expertise and care. After 24 years we have seen just about everything.

Both stories illustrate the trials and triumphs of small business ownership. It's a path filled with long hours, uncertainty, and hard work. Yet, it's also a journey rich with rewards—whether it's the satisfaction of seeing a family settle into their new home or knowing that you're providing your community with fresh, healthy products produced right in the area.
