Agents on Tap

Our agents prefer a drink now and again so I decided to ask them a few questions about their beverage choice, if it connects with their personality, and a few personal questions so you can get to know a few of our agents we have on tap here at EvoReal!

This was their story….

What type of beer is your favorite and why?

1. I enjoy pilsners and stouts. My current favorite is Elysian Split Shot milk stout.

Does your beverage choice match your personality? Why or why not

2. Of the two the Pilsner matches my personality best – light and bubbly.

What type of home is your favorite, -craftsman, rancher, colonial, tudor etc… and why?

3. I like most styles of home, but currently I want a rancher for when my aged parents come live with me. 🙂

What is your favorite thing to do or place to visit in Spokane?

4. One thing I enjoy doing in Spokane is trying the local restaurants. The food scene is growing more diverse and interesting.

Agent Stacey Sampson

What type of beer is your favorite and why?

1. I like Reds and Porters – Reds because they are smooth with a little bi of a bite, and Porters because they’re rich in flavor, with a little nutty finishing note.

Does your beverage choice match your personality? Why or why not

2. I think they match my personality! Porters can be very straightforward but deep and sometimes complex with flavors, and Reds give you a little fun kick that you maybe don’t expect! .

What type of home is your favorite, -craftsman, rancher, colonial, tudor etc… and why?

3. I love character in homes. I love the wood and built in features that most craftsman’s tend to have. And a porch. Always love a porch. I do also love the cape code and the classic farmhouse look – open, bright, perfect for gathering family and friends together.

What is your favorite thing to do or place to visit in Spokane?

4. I love water, so I love going to lakes in the summer and getting on a paddle board or kayak, or even a floatie and soaking in the sunshine! .

What is something interesting about you that only a few people know? do you have any hobbies or interests? 

5. I used to be a competitive figure skater! My hobbies are photography, travel, cooking, baking, hiking, singing.


Agent Casi Gronenthal

What type of beer is your favorite and why?

1. While I like sampling new beers in this wonderful day of microbreweries, my go-to is Mac & Jacks African Amber. It’s all about the balance between flavor and weight. It hits many notes on my palette, but doesn’t feel like I just had a meal like some of the heavier porters or stouts.

Does your beverage choice match your personality? Why or why not

2. No, I don’t think so. By first impressions, I’ve been told, I would drink something fruity and sparkling- like my bubbly personality. Haha! But get to know me and yes, I’m a little more down to earth.

What type of home is your favorite, -craftsman, rancher, colonial, tudor etc… and why?

3. What type of home is your favorite, -craftsman, rancher, colonial, tudor etc… and why? The exterior of a classic craftsman,mid-century design, or turn-of-the-century farmhouse reminds me of my childhood and are therefore styles to which I am drawn. Exterior excluded however, once I walk through the front door, any home that conveys warmth within is definitely my cup of tea (or glass of beer)

What is your favorite thing to do or place to visit in Spokane?

4. Spokane and the outlying areas have a wonderful food scene. From farmers markets to fine cuisine, the farm to table culture is amazing in Spokane. It’s another reason behind what makes our big city feel like a small community.

What is something interesting about you that only a few people know? do you have any hobbies or interests? 

5. What is something interesting about you that only a few people know? do you have any hobbies or interests? When I’m not helping people buy or sell a home or spending time with my grandson, I run half-marathons, play soccer on 2 co-ed teams with my hubs, play volleyball in a women’s league, practice yoga, garden, re-imagine old furniture, and always have at least one renovation project going. Busy, busy, busy!

Does your beverage choice match your personality? Why or why not

2. Of course, I’m Norwegian! Light and crisp.

What type of home is your favorite, -craftsman, rancher, colonial, tudor etc… and why?

3. I have always had a soft spot in my heart for cathedral ceilings. I also love open floor plans.

What is your favorite thing to do or place to visit in Spokane?

4. There is no one single favorite thing in Spokane to do, it is a haven for the outdoor enthusiast.

What is something interesting about you that only a few people know? do you have any hobbies or interests? 

5. I am an English Premier soccer fan. I have had a passion for soccer for 20+ years. I have always enjoyed the continuous play of the game with one half time break. I also am a coach for my kids soccer and basketball teams.


Agent Raymond BorktonRaymond Borkton-(Click my tap to the left to learn more about me!)

What type of beer is your favorite and why?

1. I like them all except for Pilsner. An Ale suits me well. I like to change it up and not stick with the same. Fat Tire, Alaskan, Elysian….they’re all good.

Does your beverage choice match your personality? Why or why not

2. No, I don’t think beers really have personalities so it would be hard to match. A common answer might be like….”A Stout really matches my bold and unyielding desire to succeed….blah blah blah. I don’t buy into it. Beers have flavors and I’ll leave it at that.

What type of home is your favorite, -craftsman, rancher, colonial, tudor etc… and why?

3. A two story craftsman due to it’s beauty and design.

What is your favorite thing to do or place to visit in Spokane?

4. I would say playing golf at one of the city or county courses. Also eating at a good restaurant like PF Changs or South Perry Pizza.

What is something interesting about you that only a few people know? do you have any hobbies or interests? 

5. I composed/produced and played guitar on my own contemporary jazz record.
