Portland real estate services for buyers, sellers and property management.
I’ve tagged this Sustainability, and Personal. Ok, I lack creativity at the moment. Whatever. And sustainable, I don’t know what can be sustainable about a vacuum cleaner, except when Billy is running in the house, I run outside, and hug our pine tree. So there. Here’s the deal though, Roomba to the fam, Billy to […]
News flash……..Portland is groovy, but wait……so is Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego…….. Rents are going up, and fast, everywhere. Rents have always been super high in SF, and all those cities besides, well above Portland rents across the board. But with all things as they are now, Portland has it’s own rental renaissance going on, […]
One of the things that is sort of gripping me these days, is the question Why? Why you say……..exactly I say…..why? Not what, not how, albeit those are really good questions too but for me………it’s Why? My station in life perhaps is centered around this now, and the question of Why happens in my own […]
http://www.bankrate.com/finance/real-estate/does-staging-raise-home-price.aspx?ec_id=cmctre_01_comm_RE_image_headline I think this is a really good article & synopsis to read.

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 […]
I like trees. OK, I love them. We need them. They need us. They breath. We breath. Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide is how I think it goes…….not sure, I’m a real estate guy, not a scientist……I’ve long thought of them, just like us, all shapes, all sizes. Just like people……..did I say that already? And […]
Not much really can move me in property management concerns. I’ve seen and heard just about all I can ever imagine…..until I walked thru a property last week. And this is a new one for sure, top 10, top notch, best of 5, almost numero uno…….ok, I hope by now you get it…….this is ground […]
I’m not the panacea for all things in real estate, property management in particular. All I am, as part of my real estate hat on a daily basis, is a guy that cares about owners of rental property, IN EQUAL amounts to caring about tenants. Having and knowing this, also know it’s a business. And […]
I’ll get to the law in a minute or two……or three……but first, some perspective. Living on the left coast, and if one is inclined to seek a bit of a tropical feel, Hawaii will beckon. And if you are fortunate enough to visit Hawaii……you’ll discover the ultimate paradise. You can drink the water, your currency […]
Navien. Tankless. Model NPE-240A. Google it to see it, sort of cool, in a hot water tank cool kind of way. For you old schoolers, think the size of the backpack when the astronauts walked on the moon, 1969 style……and for your generation nowers, it’s roughly…..1 foot deep, 1.5 feet wide, less than 3 feet […]
