Treating all people with dignity, respect and equality is the Windermere (Moreland) Way

For your Blog:

Countertops can be a BIG deal  – Here are five – I didn’t even know about lava! http://goo.gl/BlBVo2 Mon Dieu!

Where ARE all these homes that are selling?  Here are the top 25 zip codes (how many zip codes do we HAVE in the tri-county anyway?) for most homes sold.  http://goo.gl/wytDZy We do note that 97202 would more than likely have MORE sales, if we had more listings.

Don’t think this will be on a multiple listing sheet soon.  Here’s the old entrepreneurial ‘spirit’ for you. A website that asks the question ‘who died in your house?’  http://goo.gl/RI7Fjf

Transaction Master:  To Buyer – ‘We’re in competition whether there’s another offer on the table or not.’

·         So only one buyer and not the spouse signs an addendum. Is it binding?? ATTACHED NOTE: The article says a judge would probably say yes….. NOT where we want our clients. So continue with ALL signatures as the rule.

·        What ‘cha talking about when you’re going around a home with a buyer? Careful! We’ve been having ‘Nanny Cam’ situations. Council your clients to not say anything derogatory in a home. What if a buyer said ‘these people are pigs! However, I like the home, let’s write an offer’, and the sellers heard it? I’m thinking the buyers harmed their negotiations.  

·        Adult Abuse – Gypsies, Stress and Loneliness – OK< I was corrected, and I apologize. The teacher of the class was emphatic that ‘gypsies’ wasn’t an ethnic group – but it is. I promise not to generalize and disparage all the Romani from now on.
