Portland real estate services for buyers, sellers and property management.
Not going to be a long blog here at all……just have a few comments about cars, and my Edge. My Edge that is, not me being on the Edge. I want all of my 3 readers to know this…..I’m a car guy. I like them all. Doesn’t matter who the maker is, nor the type […]
Arguable the greatest tennis court ever, is in Portland Oregon. It’s not the court, greatness of courts are in many many places. I’ve played on the clay in Jamaica, that was cool, the clay and grass of Palm Springs, that was cool, and on the hardcourts of so many places, it all starts to get […]
Two sons, four years each of high school, spread across 9 years of tennis…… Somewhere along the way, and roughly 150 high school matches later, all the dual matches are done. We’ve watched both sons play a lot of tennis, and as of three days ago, it still hasn’t really hit me, but we’ll not […]
How cool is this…….no long story here, just a photo in a house that I have listed, of wood flooring that is sustainable…….or just re-claimed and re-used. The owners of this house did an extraordinary renovation, the quality is superb, and even down to the last detail, it’s all fantastic. But for me, the coolest […]
2015 is off to a bang. It seems that in almost all sectors, values are growing, there are more buyers than sellers, it really just doesn’t matter how you look at it, ownership has it’s advantages right now in big way. In particular, I am talking about the market for what I call plexes, which […]
News flash……LED lighting is pretty darn cool. It ain’t cheap, but doesn’t have to be really expensive either. We had this outside front porch light, incandenscents kept burning out. So out comes the ladder every month, then reaching above my head, on top of the ladder, unscrewing the old light fixture to get to the […]
2015……almost March………and the high school tennis season is upon us next week! This is my favorite time of the year for me to watch tennis, I was a high school coach of tennis a few years back, for a handful of years, and the best part of it is I just simply enjoy(ed) watching kids […]
This has got to be one of Portland’s mostest and coolio-est tree in all the land……..it’s a Strawberry tree in case you were wondering. Google it, as trees go, fascinating. A sort of edible fruit, which is so red, it almost looks “fake”. The fruit is a super round “strawberry”, that is rather tart to […]
I’m now entering my 24th year in the real estate business. And I’d like to think I’ve seen it all, but this property I was in………really takes the cake. Whatever you think the pictures appears to be, make it 10 times exponential. It was the most trashed, thrashed, mold ridden, dryrot, wet rot, just the […]
Last week was awesome. Some people measure the day in dollars, I like to measure the day in “did that really just happen in front of me?”. I’m out in Troutdale, at a duplex I manage. I’m way early for a walk thru of some work getting done in the back yard. So I’m minding […]
