Introduction:
- People are complicated…
For your Website / Blog:
Green Green, It’s Green they say, on the far side of the hill…. In Portland! 30% of Portland is covered in trees.
Portland stretches it’s green shadow out even further past that un-green Seattle town. Check it out!
Westmoreland Geese could have stayed another year. I wonder if the Landlord/Tenant folks could help them out? Remember last year when 100 ducks and geese got an eviction notice (and free transportation out of town)? After reading the article, it really does sound like a noble and worthy effort, but funding is tight.
Is your next home improvement project going to be worth it? These Top 10 (or should I say bottom 10 projects) won’t be worth it in regards to resale value. These stats don’t take into account the life enjoyment value, though. I don’t think anyone would do all 10, but I’m guessing there is one or two on the list you might be considering.
Portland LOVES to be #1 in Bikes, Coffee Shops and Weird, but this is definitely NOT a stat most Portlanders want to move higher. Hey, we’re number 29 – in population among U.S. cities. Portland's population increased by 10,044 people between 2010 and 2011 to 593,820. And I think all of them commute the same roads as me. J

“If you’re not talking to your clients about the market and if they may need to list their home, do you think they may know other Realtors that ARE?” – Brian Allen
Expert Advisor:
- LP siding ain’t what it used to be – not one failure complaint against smart siding when they changed from the failing product in 1996.
- Real Life (In our branch)Oil Tank Stories – This is a good read. If you missed the meeting, please read!
Transaction Master:
- Handling Bullies in a transaction
- Do not engage
- Consider who has the most leverage
- Be willing to use that leverage, i.e. to bluff
- Create boundaries
