On March 1st at this year’s Seattle Dances event, Chad Zinda was more than a Director of Sales and the Designated Broker for Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty – he was a star! Not only did his moneymaker help raise in excess of $522,000 along with other celebrity dances but he raised some heartbeats too as the crowd screamed for more. Puget Sound Business Journal’s Patti Payne and Seattle Time’s Nicole Brodaur wrote articles about an amazing evening of dance, entertainment and much laughter at “Seattle Dances”, the NW version of Dancing with the Stars. Professional dance instructors from Century Ballroom are paired with Seattle stars like ex-Seahawk Nesby Glasgow and King 5′s Joyce Taylor. This year, our own ever effervescent Chad Zinda was invited to join the fray, and complete with sexy moves and fedora, join he did.

Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty has been a proud supporter of Seattle Dances and Plymouth Housing Group. In 2013 Broker Connie Blumenthal graced the stage with her sizzling Salsa and won the People’s Choice Award for raising the most money during the event. And in 2012 Owner Dean Jones attempted his best dancing the Cha-Cha-Cha to the Black Eye Pea’s hit “Boom Boom Pow” (Watch Dean Jones Dance)– he later joked the real charity was him leaving the stage.
