leavenworth real estate: Real Estate Kaizen - 07/21/10 08:27 PM
Kai- what?
Wikipedia defines kaizen as a " philosophy or practices that focus upon continuous improvement of processes in manufacturing, engineering, supporting business processes, and management". Kaizen is "the culture of continual aligned small improvements and standardization yields large results in the form of compound productivity improvement."
I like to think that Allyson and I have embraced real estate kaizen - a culture of experimentation leading to continuous improvement. You might not see all the experiments we try - some of them fail.

leavenworth real estate: Oversupply of Leavenworth Homes - 05/11/10 08:19 PM
Here's a post I hate writing about.
Leavenworth has too many on homes on the market ..... again. (Or is it still?)
More and more homes are coming on the market every day and very few are selling. As of today we have 26 months of supply!
This is great news if you are a buyer, you will have more choices in Leavenworth and Lake Wenatchee than ever before. If you are a seller... it's not good news.
