Bill Hurme

Bill Hurme, TeamBuilder's fearless leader, captain of funny, and antagonist of the politically correct sat still for as long as Hurme'ly possible to share his story and offer insights into the region's real estate market.

Beth Vicano

Growing up a military "brat," Beth moved all over the place but ultimately settled her family in the Pacific Northwest, a truly amazing and gorgeous place to live. After home schooling her 5 children for 13 years, she entered the workforce at John L. Scott where she worked as an executive assistant and in the accounting department. At John L. Scott she discovered her natural talents, her affinity for real estate and love of spreadsheets. After realizing her true gift in organization and managing money, Beth came to work for TeamBuilder in November 2008 where she was given the most important job of all, as Hurme puts it, "looking after all the money."

Besides spreadsheets, Beth loves traveling. She caught the travel bug early in life she tries to make one international trip (at least) a year; it's not too hard after marrying an Italian born, Aussie Citizen (who just became and American citizen!). Beth also enjoys fine wine and fine chocolate, with a firm belief that quality outweighs quantity when it comes to chocolate. Beth is also an insatiable reader, teaches kindergarten Sunday school and gets the most enjoyment from spending time surrounded by family.

Born in Sonoma Wine Country, from an early age Joey had a strong desire to travel, so after graduating high school he moved to Israel and worked on a Kibbutz where he worked long days as a raftan (dairy worker).

These were the seeds of inspiration for a career in real estate and a love with the land. After his travels Joey settled down for seven years on The Big Island of Hawaii where he spent much of his time paddling outrigger canoes, competing in triathlons and working as a server in a fine restaurant before deciding to start his real estate career in Waimea, Hawaii. Now an accomplished associate broker, Joey brings numerous commercial investment and development projects and opportunities to TeamBuilder, heading up TeamBuilder Land.

Paul Hurme

He is a graduate of the University of Washington (go Huskies!), where, in his words, he "played English and earned a degree in soccer". One of his favorite things about selling brand new construction is selling a beautiful, pristine home without toe nail clippings in the carpeting.
