Loss Mitigation Shortsale Institiute is seeing a great need for Loan Modifications recenty. There are so many homeowners in ajustable rates that  are looking for our help. Most of these homeowners are not in trouble yet but they know they will be when thier payment adjusts.  Most are still working and can afford the payment they have but will not be able to afford a higher payment.  Some lenders have set up new departments just for loan modifications. Doing Loan Modifications is a lot less work than a Shortsale. Most states you can charge upfront for the service. We find it's a great way to make money while you are waiting for your realestate deals to settle. If for some reason the lender doesn't deal with them they get a refund! It's a win win for everyone.  Thank you  Jeanne

I'll be totally honest, I didn't know where Sandy Oregon was, so once again time for a little research.  Here's the whole State of Oregon.  Sandy (red dot) is located in the northern county of Clackamas County which was incoporated in 1913.  Now, what we really need is a tour guide, so I chose Sandy Oregon real estate professional Valerie Harvey of John L. Scott.  For in-depth help I went to Valerie's terrific site Gresham and Sandy Oregon Real Estate the one stop source for the following communities:  SandyBoringDamascusFairviewTroutdaleWood VillageGreshamNow it's well known that when I stop into a community, I go straight to check out the new home builders, the models, the specs, even the lots and land ...

About Sandy, Oregon (OR) - "The Gateway To Mt. Hood"Taken from the official City of Sandy Oregon website:The City of Sandy has a population of around 7,000, and is the commercial center of a rural area with a population of approximately 20,000. Sandy is east of Portland and west of Mount Hood...On the foothills of the Cascade Range, Sandy's elevation varies from 750 to over 1,000 feet. Mt. Hood shelters the city from the wind and ice storms experienced in the Columbia River gorge. The climate is mild, but it does rain a lot in the winter. This provides much snow on Mt. Hood, and Sandy residents enjoy the nearby opportunities for skiing, snow boarding, and snowshoeing.Sandy Oregon Real EstateAnyone looking for a Sandy, Oregon Realtor will find the website of Valerie Harvey very useful. ...

OK, so the event is officially over for this year, but I want you to try and put this on your calendar for next year's fishing season kick-off!  If you have been driving around Sandy, Oregon lately, then you may be wondering what the Firefighter's Sportsman Breakfast is all about.  I have seen a few large signs advertising this event at Starbucks and other local businesses.  I found a press release that explains it all.   "You've seen it on TV You've heard about it on the radio... Now experience it in person! 12:01 April 28th marks the opening of fishing season. For over 40 years, this has been celebrated in Sandy, Oregon in an unusual but "tasteful" way. Since the 1960's Sandy's Main Fire Station has transformed its engine bay into a 19 hour, feasting paradise. Sandy Volunteer Firefigh...

This morning some local FFA and 4-H kids came in to my office and asked for our help with their fund-raiser.  They were probably in their early teens, but their presentation was professional and confident.  It takes a lot of guts to come into all the local businesses and ask for help.   I can tell that their experience in the FFA and 4-H clubs will benefit them greatly in their futures.  I thought that I would pass this information on to the community.Who is the Sandy Area Buyer's Pool and what do they do?The Sandy Area Buyer's Pool was organized in 1997 and consists of businesses and individuals who have supported 4-H and FFA members at the Jr. Livestock Auction.The Clackamas County Fair Jr. Livestock Auction is the climax of a year's work for 4-H and FFA exhibitors.  As a learning and...

Spring has sprung here at Cascadia Village in Sandy, Oregon.  This great neighborhood was built by Buena Vista Homes.  There are sidewalks, parks, underground utilities and undulating hills that give this neighborhood its character.Sandy, Oregon is a rural city located about 25 minutes from downtown Portland and 20 minutes from Mt. Hood ski and wilderness areas.  You will still see tractors on the road as well as BMW's. There are many conveniences in Sandy.  A new Fred Meyer was recently built, and many boutiques shop are popping up around town.Just another musing by your local Gresham & Sandy Oregon Realtor.

On a warm, spring day I ventured out into our fair town of Sandy, Oregon.  Today, I decided to pay a visit to a business that has been in Sandy for many years.Wasson Brothers Winery is owned and operated by Oregon natives Jim Wasson and his twin brother, John.  The Wasson Brothers have been in the wine-making business locally for 26 years.     There are many different kinds of wines that the Wasson Brothers offer.  About half of the wines produced are grape wines that are grown in Oregon City.  The other half of wines produced are fruit and berry wines.Here is Jim standing proudly next to his delicious wines.  Jim's favorite is the Pinot Noir.  Some of the bestsellers are the Niagra, Blackberry, and Raspberry wines.In addition, Wasson Brothers produces Spumanti, Sparkling Niagra, Sparkl...
