downtown homes for sale: It Sank like a Rock - 08/02/10 11:45 PM
There have been a few good buys on the Portland Oregon Real Estate Market over the last year but nothing like what I have been seeing in the last couple of days!

Sometimes I think that Agents get lost along the way. It often begins innocently enough then somewhere along the path a line is crossed. Who is it you represent? Are you treating your clients and customers honestly?
The other day I was having coffee at The University Coffee Shop when this fellow approached me. He asked " Are you Herb Hamilton "? I replied " Yes ". " You're a Real Estate agent aren't you " he inquired. "Yes I am. How may I help you"?
So Tom tells me his story. He owns a small home with an extra lot. … (6 comments)
