I don't know how old I was, but I do know the stuffed panda was a lot bigger than I was.  So I must have been pretty young. I will forever appreciate the perspective I gained from growing up poor in a very large family of 7 children. Santa always brought our tree AFTER we went to bed on Christma...

There is no doubt that the Seattle Area Real Estate Market will be better in 2009.  For Agents: There will clearly be at least one month in 2009...that is better than November of 2008.

Well I guess it could be someone else, but not likely. I want you to take a minute and think about this from the standpoint of your children.  Are you sending mixed messages?  Are you expecting them to respect authority, and yet setting them up for failure?

You may not be in an area where they are choosing to film at present, but they may not find enough qualified people in CA and WA to fill a season.  So it's worth sending in an application even if they use you for a future season. Right now they are looking for people from Seattle who have done 1...

I listed two "fixer" houses back in April.  The investors were no where to be found and the people looking for homes to live in said "too much work!" I am pleased to report that both of my fixers are in escrow with closing to be within the next 10 days.  Both were bought by people who live nearb...
