Everyone that knows me well, knows that I love my food!  These are the places that I would like to share with you.  In Vancouver I love the Jerusalem Cafe (Mediterranean Cuisine), The Hawaiian Cafe (on Mill Plain), Arawan (Thai Food, Mill Plain), Cactus Ya-Ya (South-Western).  Camas, Around- the- Table (Downtown), Salut (Downtown), Roots (192-nd).  If you enjoy eating as much as I, go out and enjoy!!!

This week's Sunday Drive from our home in Vancouver Washington took us up the famous Columbia River gorge. We had been leaning strongly for another drive to the Coast however, with rain showers upon us, we felt we'd have drier and sunnier weather by heading East -- boy we were right!!! This day we decided to take most of the Drive on the Oregon side of the River on Interstate 84. Our first stop for shopping and lunch was in Hood River, Oregon. The Old Downtown has many fun shops (Antiques, Jewelry, Art, Windsurfing, Fly-Fishing, White-Water sports, Cycling, Up-scale Clothing, etc.) and many nice restaurants and cafes. With the summer weather, and almost ever-present wind at this location, the Hood River / Bingen - White Salmon, WA area has become a Mecca for Windsurfers and Kite-Boarder...

Real Estate Terminology You'll See When Shopping For a Homein Vancouver & Clark County, WashingtonVancouver WA Real estate ads are sprinkled with terminology that often puzzles consumers who don't have applied knowledge of the Real Estate industry's lingo.

May 2007 Real Estate Market Condition Report for Vancouver Washington's East MLS AreasThis report has been prepared as a simple tabulation of homes in the Vancouver WA real estate data base, separated into price ranges, and: Active, Pending and Sold categories. In our opinion we are seeing like May's Report,  the new listings that are priced correctly selling much faster than the existing listings that have been priced too high for the current declining conditions (and waiting for the market to "catch-up" to them) -- even for the higher-priced homes.

Yes, we have moved to the Salmon Creek (Washington) office of RE/MAX Equity Group, Inc.! Although we primarily work out of our home offices and as well as our “on the road” offices (Coffee & Bagel Shops) this location is where our primary brokerage is now located. We made this move for several reasons, but in the end, we wanted to improve our ability to provide excellent service, and this office is truly committed to this goal! We are excited to announce this change and look forward to helping you, your friends and family, and anyone you know and like who could use our help with real estate. Don’t keep us a secret!
