eugenes alternative: Under contract in 7 days in Cottage Grove? - 04/23/09 12:14 PM
When I worked up the market analysis for this classic craftsman, I found only one comparable sale in the previous 9 months!
The pace of sales in this charming, historic town about eighteen miles south of Eugene is positively glacial. I knew it would take a combination of optimal condition, aggressive pricing, and dynamic marketing to get it sold in a reasonable time frame so the owners could move forward with their life plans. Even with all these factors aligned, I anticpated a market time above my average of forty one days between listing and sale.
ConditionFortunately, the home showed great … (2 comments)

eugenes alternative: So much to feel good about these days! - 10/29/08 12:16 PM
My hard work this summer has translated into a lot of business (and more hard work) this fall. It feels good to be managing 4 pending deals, working with great buyers and sellers, and having the satisfaction of succeeding in a challenging market.
I now it's not fashionable to wax positive in our current climate, but I have much to feel good about and I can't resist making a list of the things I'm thankful for:
My home, and the good old fashioned 30 year fixed note that allows me to keep it! 20 years of companionship with a wonderful … (9 comments)

eugenes alternative: Wildlife in Eugene Oregon's Laurel Hill Valley - 10/10/08 12:15 PM
The Laurel Hill Valley is a unique little enclave in East Eugene. The main route in, Riverview Street, is poorly maintained, and without sidewalks, which adds a rural flavor, and there is an intersting mix of old and new development in this peaceful neighborhood.
I was dropping off flyers at one of my condo listings early yesterday morning and got a chance to shoot some wild turkeys (digitally of course).
We see quite a few of these in the south hills and outlying areas around Eugene and Springfield, usually traveling in what appears to be a family group.
The lighting … (3 comments)

eugenes alternative: Clients who go the extra mile - a fantastic testimonial! - 08/22/08 12:29 PM
I'm in the habit of asking my clients for ongoing feedback on my performance, and after a close I request their input on what worked well for them, what I could do to improve my service, and if they could provide a short testimonial I can use in my marketing.
I just assisted in the close of a wonderful condo - I was actually the "co-agent" handling the marketing, coordination, and customer care for my principal broker who secured the listing and handled the contract negotiation. Imagine my thrill and satisfaction when I recieved the following in email after the sale … (3 comments)

eugenes alternative: Reconsidering the rural life on account of this sweet south hills condo... - 08/15/08 05:17 PM
I haven't lived in a multifamily building for years now, but when I walked into 59 Rockridge and saw the million dollar view and the artisan quality of this modern space I must admit I felt some longing for the low maintenance lifestyle!
I'm hosting an open house here this weekend - August 16-17 1-3 pm. The sellers have completely remodeled the interior of their unit, adding numerous built-ins, a compact gourmet kitchen, luxurious tiled bathrooms, and a custom office.
The standard for quality and taste in finishes is impeccable. The color palette throughout is distinctive and modern, and … (0 comments)

eugenes alternative: What does your Real Estate Agent owe you? - 07/14/08 08:20 PM
In the early days of our nation the practice of Real Estate (along with most other professions) was only minimally regulated. Back then, Real Estate agents typically only represented the interests of sellers. For purchasers of Real Estate it was literally caveat emptor (buyer beware).
The industry has come a long way since those days, and the National Association of Realtors (the worlds largest professional association) maintains and enforces a strict code of ethics for its members – known as REALTORS. These ethics, and the supporting standards of practice were created to protect the interests of buyers and sellers of Real … (2 comments)

eugenes alternative: Spring cleaning for your biggest investment. - 05/13/08 06:53 PM
Now that the days are getting longer and (hopefully) warmer, it’s a great time to get outside and care for the exterior of your home – and not just for appearances sake. Curb appeal is one of the critical factors in creating desire when it comes time to sell your home, and deferring the maintenance chores below can end up costing you a lot more than giving up a weekend or two!
1. Get the gunk off (and out).After the leaves fell in the fall you cleaned out your gutters, right? Well, most homes benefit from at least three cleanings – … (1 comments)
