It seems like only a day or two ago that I started Blogging. Well I guess it was a day or more cause my first blog post was written on Feb. 03/2007.

One day out of the blue I stopped waiting. I googled blogging and Here I am some 3 months later writing my 100th post with a Point total over … (30 comments)

Websites are they irrelevant? George Tallabas asks us the question What_Does_The_Consumer_Want? In regards to Web Sites we have all been looking for the Holly Grail. The Ultimate of Ultimate sites.

rehabs: Choosing A Title Company and Escrow Officer My Top 21 Questions
- 04/07/07 04:33 AM
So all is going well when I call my Title gal to check on a few transactions. I am told that she no longer works there and that Susie has taken over her files. They are quick to reassure me that Susie will do a fabulous job and that I will like her.
Susie did not do a fabulous job and neither me nor my clients liked her. So begins the process of searching for a new Title and Escrow service. Something that every Real Estate Sales person will have to do at sometime or other.

It was just one of those beautiful Portland Oregon days. Clean air, Warm Sunshine, (no rain ) and a couple of Open Houses. AHHHHH! All is right with the World.
Now these two Open Houses are the very two Homesthat I have been talking about in my last couple of blogs about FIXERS, FLIPS, and REHABS, in the Alberta Arts Neighborhood, here in Portland Oregon. And when I say Fixers that is what I mean.
I have only had these listings for a few days and today was the first opportunity to get inside or even to show them to a prospective … (3 comments)

rehabs: Portland Oregon Real Estate , The Fixer Market Heats up !
- 03/29/07 02:48 PM
With all the negative press about Real Estate sales across this great country of ours it has caused some what of a stagnation. The interesting thing is that Prices did not slide here in Portland just the amount of Pending Sales and Closed Sales.
While Real Estate Agents have been working as hard as ever the listing inventory has also soared. If you do the math that is not a good thing for Seller's. More inventory less sales. That was until about 6 weeks ago. It was about the same time one of my Long term Clients was discussing putting one of his … (6 comments)

rehabs: Investors of Portland, Fixers, Flips, and Rehabs : Episode 5 The Big Decision
- 03/28/07 05:45 PM
So? What did Rhonda have to say? Chris stared at the ground for a while. Finally he blurted out, Ok Ok let's flip the Cosmetic Fixer! The Big old Burned house with the potential for a huge profit margin was just to good to turn down. Without the flip there would not be enough money to do the work.
Gearing up to sell a flip house without the Seller doing a thing requires planning and execution. The Closing on the Cosmetic Fixer house was just 2 days away. When executed correctly a seamless transfer can happen on the following day. These type of … (0 comments)

- 03/26/07 05:35 PM
Has it been a Month already. I can't believe how time flies. It seems like only a day or two ago since I had met Chris and Rhonda. The Fixer market in Portland Oregon has always been pretty good. But there are times when the fixers seem to dry up. Finding a good project is hard (_See_Finding_The_Right_Project_) you may look for months without seeing anything and then Bam, 2 or 3 will show up all at once.
Today looks like a good day, there were several prospects on the HOT SHEET, and Chris is raring to go. When I picked him up I asked, so … (0 comments)

rehabs: Investors of Portland Fixers Flips and Rehabs : Episode 2 Chris Goes on a Buying Spree
- 03/23/07 02:22 PM
When I left you last Chris & I had just met. Standing in front of the Big Fixer in the Elliot Neighborhood of Portland Oregon I invited him in to take a look. As we walked through the house causally looking around, his questions were more directed at me than about the house. I answered them in turn and asked several questions of my own. Both Chris and I had been filled in about each other from Rhonda.
After a short time Chris began to loosen up and we started to strategise on a real estate portfollio buying campaign that would … (0 comments)

rehabs: Investors of Portland Fixers Flips and Rehabs : Episode 1 Chris and Rhonda
- 03/22/07 03:17 PM
The Fixer house that I listed on Fargo in the Elliot neighborhood was drawing a lot of traffic. Today was definitely one of those days. When the call came in from Rhonda I was just shutting the door and preparing to go home for the day. Rhonda was very upbeat and convincing so I stuck around to show her the Fixer.
The first thing I noticed was all of the Boxes and clothing in the back seat of her Nissan. She was definitely a bundle of fireworks. After a boisterous greeting she tossed her head back and let out a funny … (1 comments)

rehabs: My Investor Buyer was Happy Sorry about your Seller
- 03/21/07 05:55 PM
Michele Webb's post You_Are_Your_Sellers_Agent_Your_Seller_Wants_You_To_Act_Like_It today was excellent. She poses a question regarding representation and slips of the tounge. How Agent's often times will give away the farm in front of other Agents who could potentially be representing a buyer for that very property.
It caused me to remember an incident that happened to me. When I first started selling all agents represented the Seller. The switch to Buyer and Seller representation was difficult for some agents. I made the transition without difficulty. This story takes place about a year after the Switch.
I had been looking for an investment property for one of my new Buyer clients for … (1 comments)

- 03/20/07 09:21 AM
The Home had obviously just hit the market because my Phone was ringing off the hook. Buyer's from my Investors web site Portland_Flips were all calling on this little Victorian Home in Irvington. This single story Victorian home built in Portland Oregon in 1888 was offered for sale by an agent I had not worked with before. I was able to move in quick and secure an offer for one of my web site Buyers. The Property was and Estate Sale and had not seen any maintenance in many years. It was priced right though.

rehabs: " Living on a Volcano " a Popper Topper of a Mt. Tabor Mid Century Revival
- 03/19/07 05:50 PM
Working with Fixers in a fast paced market can present some interesting Challenges. It seems as though each and every year it becomes more and more difficult to find viable Projects.
Some 6 years ago while looking for one of my long term clients. I came across this 1950's Mid Century
Classic Located in the MT. Tabor Neighborhood. Mt. Tabor is named after an extinct Volcano located in Central SE Portland Oregon. The Mountain is also a City Park that holds many City events throughout the Year.
The 1950's ranch style home while charming and dated was also sitting on a double wide lot. I sold the property … (0 comments)

rehabs: " The 3 Little Pigs Home " Alberta Arts Fixer doesn't quite cut the Mustard !
- 03/18/07 11:32 AM
The little house did show promise of Character from the outside. Fixers were hard to find and Chris was out of a project. He needed another Fixer to keep his Portland Oregon crew busy and this looked like a likely candidate.
We hurried up the front steps Ducking under cover of the porch trying to avoid the rain drops. I knocked on the door and waited for the tenant to answer. As we shuffled back and forth damp from the rain, and a cool breeze blowing across our faces. We couldn't help but smell the acrid oder that seemed to be coming … (4 comments)
