Real Estate Soft Landing – Or Crash?

11/25/2019
Real estate isn't always predictable. Given changing conditions, language used to describe housing is rife with lingo from other industries that experience constantly shifting events—some catastrophic—like aviation. While housing is axiomatically 'grounded' compared to the aircraft industry, from time to time Oregon real estate market activity is described as akin to a 'bumpy recovery,' 'hard ride,' 'crash,' or 'soft landing.' This raises the question among those buying or selling a home of how real estate crashes are avoided and what does a 'soft landing' mean? Find out more in this insightful real estate podcast!

The Perfect Home Sale: Fact or Fairy Tale?

5/1/2019
Most residential real estate transactions are ultimately successful, meaning they actually 'close.' Such a 'happily ever after' scenario has sellers receiving their money and buyers, their new house. However, given the many steps along the way, many real estate transactions have a few 'bumps in the road.' Sometimes it's a home inspection defect. At other times it's a lendability issue, like an appraisal. Or maybe a legal or title issue, such as an unexpected lien or easement, like a highway or railroad right of way, or perhaps a faulty legal description. Successfully helping home buyers and sellers navigate through these kinds of transaction challenges is a Realtor's job. Many people are wondering...is the thought of a perfect real estate transaction fact...or fairy tale? Find out more, in this helpful Oregon real estate podcast episode.

Can You Handle An Honest Real Estate Agent?

1/30/2019
A famous, oft-quoted movie line is 'You can't handle the truth.' Yet have you ever considered how that statement might relate to hiring a Realtor? In other words, since agents provide information to help your bottom line, are you truly interested in being informed with the truth, or might you prefer not to know?

Holiday Househunt Hysteria: Hot or Hoax?

12/1/2018
Common wisdom suggests Oregon home sales activity should decline during the holidays. At first glance, this makes sense, given Oregon's less favorable weather then, along with less daylight and a general aversion to adding yet one more task to what is for some, an already overloaded holiday schedule. However, there's a compelling case that the time surrounding Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's is one of the most active seasons of all...and for a variety of reasons you might not have considered.

Lessons My Prisoner Clients Taught Me

The diversity of Oregon residents is hardly surprising, given the fact that a majority of Oregonians are not native to our state.

In fact, roughly one in five Oregon residents were born in California! So what are the faces of Oregon...and how might this affect you if you're buying or selling a home in our state?

How Multiple Homebuyers Change Everything

8/14/2018
When multiple buyers express interest in a property by each writing an offer, the balance of power has shifted substantially in favor of the seller. As a result of this decided shift, buyers typically become more competitive. Why? Because fear of loss can be a powerful motivator. And while it's possible for three, four, or even more buyers to compete for the same house, the principle is essentially the same, regardless of how many multiple buyers write an offer. Adding more buyers to the mix, however, does have a tendency to 'quicken' the pace. What can buyers do to lower the volume, lessen their own anxiety and reduce the frenzy without getting caught up in a multiple buyer scenario, all while making sure they don't miss out on the house of your dreams? Plus, what can sellers do to maximize their leverage in getting the best possible offer? And for both buyers and sellers, are there specific tips you can use to ensure you're 'in it to win it' for your next home purchase or sale?
