So in the travels of 27 plus years in real estate, most of the training I received early on, was the craftwork of the deal. Call it old school if you will, but given the comparison to today’s “newer” agents, and the use of technology, there really isn’t any craftwork. And […]

One of my Favorite Inspectors
In fairness of all concerned, and covering his face :), this chappy is one of my favorite of all inspectors here in Portland. Tripod, headphone, talk to typing, reports come out super quick, same day………and he even scales the photos inside the document so the file isn’t 8 million gagillion megbytes so you can actually […]
Interesting Priority to Real Estate
While in California a couple of weeks back, I strolled around in a senior citizen manufactured home park. Others might call them mobile homes, and I even hear people call em trailer parks. I think they could be a lot of all things, as this particular park I was in had homes from the late […]
New Broker at CORE
I was down south a few weeks back, taking care of some family issues, and also finding some time to visit a few places in California wine country. At one particular vinyard, I met the chappy in this photo. We struck up a chord, found out we both like movies, real estate, and wine. So […]
Property Owners Be Very Careful
We manage a fair amount of properties. A lot of the owners want us to pay the tax bill, so our firm is the “tax record owner”. So in addition to getting the annual county tax bills, we get all the letters that people send direct to the owner of record to buy “your” property. […]
The Bubble Has Landed
I sat in my office the other day and watched a property, a Portland area triplex, get bid up via an Internet auction, by more than $100,000 of it’s market value. Folks just kept clicking away, bidding higher and higher……to the point where I know it became a game simply not to lose to the […]
Parade of Lost Equity
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
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 […]
Slow Down to Get a Deal
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. […]
