Read MorePerfection is a Must-OK, my ideal anyway
September 23, 2015, Chris Johnson in Portland Property Management
In any given moment, I believe and feel I’m in good order. Of clear mind and spririt. A ton of happy tenants, happy clients, and all things happy. But alas, I’m a realist, this is not truly the case some of the time. In truth, I’ve got at least one or two tenants, at my…
My Tennis Secret Weapon-Part 2

And if one kitty isn’t enough, then they get the black one :).
My Tennis Secret Weapon
September 10, 2015, Chris Johnson in Portland Tennis
There are certain things that as you move up the tennis food chain in terms of skill and competitiveness, you consider a weapon. Some guys have forehands, some can stick volleys, others can hammer serves. Me……..if I need to pull it out of the hat……er bag, it’s the kitty!
Parade of Lost Equity
September 6, 2015, Chris Johnson in Portland Economics, Portland real estate buyer’s agent
My wife and I just took a spin thru the Clark County Parade of Homes for the first time ever. Thru the years, we’ve stuck to the Portland side of the river, doing the tour thru the Street of Dreams…..but as time moves on, and as you see more and more, eventually, you really need…
Me and My High Horse
July 22, 2015, Chris Johnson in Portland real estate buyer’s agent, Portland Seller Services
Alrighty then……call me Tex…….and this is my horse “Lil Trigger”……I’m in one of those moods where I’m going to mount up, and let it fly horse high! Todays ire, not so much ire, but just concern that us realtors are losing sight of what we are really hired to do. We are in the service…
Portland Oregon just is Cool
July 9, 2015, Chris Johnson in Portland Economics, Portland Rental Property
http://www.homesnacks.net/time-bending-portland-121849/ This is just a beautifully made and time lapsed style video. My hat is off to the videographer who laced this together. What great creativity. A nice blend of background music, and the narration is just a perfect mix too. After watching this video, if you aren’t pumped up to be a Portlander, I’m…
Portland Rents
June 27, 2015, Chris Johnson in Portland Economics, Portland Property Management, Portland Rental Property
> The more I travel, the more I marvel at the quality of life Portland, OR offers. We have vibrancy, relatively EZ traffic although it’s starting to feel big city-ish this past year, there are very few areas I would consider “unsafe”, and in a relatively short amount of travel time, you can transverse our…
Tough Kid Playing a Tough Game
June 27, 2015, Chris Johnson in Portland Tennis
Not many come tougher than this kid. Zoom the photo. Look at the shoe on the left foot-leg. Still has a monster forehand when he can get planted correctly, but I’ll say, a bit nerve wracking for me to watch, and lecturing him about not pushing off, landing weird, or even reaching for the ball…..if…
Sort of Nitpicking Here on My Part
June 11, 2015, Chris Johnson in Personal Realtor Stories, Portland Economics, Portland Oregon sustainable real estate
One of my favorite cars is the line of Tesla’s. Ground breaking. Cool. Totally gnarly. Totally awesome too. And then sort of Eco-Green in a way, surely from the use of fuel. Probably not so Eco-Green when one thinks of the impact of simply manufacturing the vehicles, and so on in relative terms to…
Slow Down to Get a Deal
June 3, 2015, Chris Johnson in Portland Economics, Portland real estate buyer’s agent, Portland Seller Services
This past weekend I held an open house. At the open house was my associate broker, myself of course, and a lender. All of us, good guys, we love our craft, and we actually want to help people. But people continue to marvel me, because generally speaking now, people act like they don’t want help….
