Last week I took a few much needed days off -- business has been extremely busy and it felt good to vacation.  Actually read a magazine and got to thinking that it would be great to have a few days to catch up at home, go pick some strawberries and maybe make a strawberry pie.  Maybe I should tak...

Many home sellers are on the fence - is now the right time to sell?  With so much competition, does my house have a chance in achieving a quick sale?  Personally, we've seen things picking up in our area.  Many of the homes we have been working with received offers in the past few weeks.  Some ha...

  Many times when I'm talking to home sellers about the competition, they have no idea on how much competition there is for buyers in this market.  By being educated on the statistics, the quickly see the importance of preparing carefully for listing their homes.  I love Dave's easy to understand...

Many calls I have received lately are from home owners who have homes on the market, or whose listings have expired and they are thinking about re-listing.  This week I had two consultations with this type of seller and they both were puzzled and irritated by their agent’s actions! I spent a lot ...

  Recently a homeowner told me a yellow door color was very popular . . . hmm this didn't go in line with what I see or read, so I commented that perhaps it was more popular in other parts of the country, but certainly not when preparing to sell your home in Oregon.  When reviewing door color - I...
