As the Real Estate World Turns
A couple of years ago it seemed that there was no price ceiling in our market and today we are asking is this the bottom? Is there a bottom?
Here are some of my thoughts on the current market.
Our inventory is starting go down and with sales up a little we can see the beginning of a more balanced market taking shape.
When Buyer’s and Seller’s are on equal footing prices will stablize. When will this happen? Well it is happening right now in some neighborhoods and price ranges. Especially in the $200,000 to $250,000 range.
The higher end $400,00... Read more

What determines the value of a home?
As a Real Estate professional I get asked this question daily. I have my ideas and opinions and quite frankly they change as the "market" changes. But the one constant for me has been this: Any given property is worth what someone is willing to pay.
If you are trying to sell a property in today’s market put yourself in the shoes of a buyer. Would you pay what you are asking?
If you were a buyer wouldn’t you study the market and determine for yourself what a certain property in a certain neighborhood would be worth to you? You would or your agent would for you, and tho... Read more

For My Sellers
My goal is to sell your property for the best price in the least amount of time with the least amount of hassle, all for YOU.
Communication is of the upmost
importance when working with your listing agent. Keeping me informed of changes in your needs and situation will go a long way to insure that you get your needs met.
I will help you to determine a value for your property based upon the current market conditions and what your needs are, but
remember that ultimately agents don’t set
property prices...buyers do! Properties are often listed at the sell... Read more

For My Buyers
“What do I do all day?” The time I spend away from you, my client, is spent researching properties, previewing properties and calling agents on properties, all to find you the right property.
While I do not have a service contract with you, I hope you will work with me exclusively. I am able to show and sell you any property in the Mid-Columbia Area of Oregon and Washington. If you see a property listed by another office or agent, please call me first to get information or to see it. Second best, please tell the listing agent you are working with me as your agent.
If you do... Read more

Getting Started Buying in The Gorge

Well for many that day has come.
So where do you start? By calling me of course!
A 20 plus year resident, I can get you up to speed in a hurry.
I love Real Estate and studying the market. Since I spend some time everyday look... Read more

State of the Market
As you well know the State of the Market is in a state of flux. Certainly there have been worst times for those trying to sell, but it is an opportunity for those looking to buy. And what an opportunity it is. Interest rates are very low, there is the $8,000 tax credit, and prices lower than they have been in years!
One of the dynamics I am personally encountering is that sellers are thinking that the market is going to get better and the buyers think that the market is going to get worst.
It’s a stand off in some cases of who can outlast the other.
