2008 Super MEME'd by ARDELL - She sure KNOWS HOW to write a MEME! - 05/30/08 07:07 PM
ARDELL tagged me in the 2008 Supermeme and WOW! ARDELL knows how to write a “MeMe”
1. Who is my favorite musical artist?I hate country western music, because that is what my Dad listened to when I was growing up and in the 1960’s country western music was pretty “twangy”. My Dad played Johnny Cash all the time. I know all the words to all the “prison” songs. But I listened to rock and roll. A couple of years ago I found a new passion for Johnny Cash and started buying all of the CD’s and found myself … (24 comments)

Bremerton Buyers :: Are you looking for a Walkable Neighborhood? - 05/30/08 09:28 AM
I have always enjoyed walking, but while raising a family I never lived in an area that was close to much of what I needed. The house I own now is very close to shopping but feels very remote, I have the best of both worlds. I chose my home based on how close it was to certain establishments. I wanted to be able to be close to services in case of some kind of emergency. I never thought about the exercise or the green effect walking could do for me.
When it snows here in the Oyster Bay … (6 comments)

Did I miss out? Did you miss out? Heck NO, let's party like its..... - 05/29/08 04:08 AM
Some days I feel like I missed out on something huge, gigantic, something that might not ever happen again in my life time. I missed out on the big housing boom! Yep, me a real estate professional and I missed out. I wasn't in the area during the years of 2003 through 2006 and so I watched from afar - well, from California. I was still working in the industry, just not in residential sales.
I would log on to websites in the Puget Sound area to see what was happening, to see what houses … (4 comments)

24 Hour Market Watch - 05/20/08 07:31 PM
I always find this very interesting when I log on to the NWMLS web site every morning. These figures will change throughout the day and be of benefit to someone. I just haven't figured out how I can use this information.
Yes, those of us real estate professionals in the State of Washington have our finger on the pulse of the industry for sure! There are more ways to look at data than ever before. Numbers, numbers, numbers! Hey look - 68 homes haven't sold so there have been price increases! Now there is a blog I am going … (7 comments)

Bremerton WA :: Out & About | Video Series | USS Turner Joy (DD-951) US Naval Destroyer Museum Ship - 05/20/08 02:03 PM
USS TURNER JOY (DD-951)
Whenever we transferred to a new location we turn into "tourists". We call it our new "Navy" vacation. How many families get to live all over the country and "vacation" without leaving home?
The first year at a new duty station we spend most of our free time searching out the local area attractions. However, that isn't the case with the USS Turner Joy; we visited the USS Turner Joy prior to leaving Bremerton the first time. In fact I think it was a "Saturday Date".
I had never been around the Navy and so I … (5 comments)

Does your County Assessor have a Zillow Profile? - 05/18/08 05:14 PM
Is your County Tax Assessor on Zillow?
Does your County Tax Assessor have a Zillow Profile?
I use Zillow for lots of different things. I have a profile, I post discussion in my local area, I post photos and I answer questions when there is Bremerton area questions asked. Today I was over posting some photos and decided to do a little searching since there weren't any updated questions in my market area. I typed in Kitsap County and found a few discussions. I started to read and found the Kitsap County Assessor making an introduction and conversing in … (11 comments)

Bremerton WA :: Out & About | Video Series | Bremerton Boardwalk - 05/18/08 02:20 PM
The "HEART OF DOWNTOWN". On quiet days you can sit on a bench and watch the ferries come and go, on others days you can participate in local activities such as the Blackberry Festival or the summer Concert series, either way it is a fun place to be. The Blackberry Festival is held over Labor Day weekend and the "Concerts on the Boardwalk" series are held on Fridays starting in July. My husband and I have spent the 4th of July there watching the fireworks.

Bremerton WA :: Out & About | Video Series | Harborside Fountain Park - 05/17/08 03:06 AM
This last fall I spent some time down on the Bremerton Boardwalk taking photos of the new attractions and learning about the revitalization projects that were complete. Harborside Fountain Park was one of my favorite.
Below is the article I wrote back in October or you can click here and see it with the fall pictures.
Click here for Harborside Article This past Thursday, with the weather being in the mid 70's and finally seeing some sun and blue sky I headed down to take more photos and some video.

Bremerton WA :: Out & About | Video Series | The New Bremerton Marina - 05/16/08 10:51 AM
Today was gorgeous so I decided to update all of the Bremerton Out & About series with video. This is the first of several showing all of the area attractions I have blogged about in the past with video. I was amazed at how much fun the Bremerton Marina was. No, I don't have a boat and yet I had a blast walking out and looking back at the Bremerton Boardwalk. This will be a great spot to have a picnic or just sit in the sun and read a book. I never thought I would enjoy the new Marina but … (8 comments)

Bremerton : Silverdale : Naval Base Kitsap : Yes, you still need a home inspection - 05/12/08 08:54 PM
Just because a seller states the home is sold "as-is" you will still need to have a home inspection done for YOU. I don't care if the seller isn't going to repair any problems and I am sure if they have had their real estate agent list the home "as-is" there are probably plenty. "AS-IS" really is a "legal term" that is over used in the remarks section of many real estate listings. "As-is" still must come with disclosures if the seller is aware.
Anyway, this isn't about the seller, this is about you the buyer. If … (11 comments)

Military Spouse Appreciation Day - 05/09/08 06:23 PM
This is my "them, them" to all Military Spouses on Military Spouse Appreciation Day. President Reagan designated the Friday before Mother's Day as the national Military Spouse Appreciation Day back in 1984. Military Spouse Appreciation Day is to recognize the service and the sacrifices of military spouses.
Today President Bush spoke about how military spouses' contributions don't always get the attention they deserve, and said
"But I can tell you that every one of your efforts matters. You do not do this only for your loved ones who are serving and sacrificing in distant lands, but for your entire community and … (16 comments)

Naval Base Kitsap :: Use Your VA Guaranteed Home Loan for ZERO DOWN - 05/05/08 12:32 PM
I am sure you have heard all the doom and gloom from a million different news reports concerning the lending industry mess, how several loan programs once available are no longer, how zero down loan programs are almost non-existent and how hard it is right now if you have little to zero money available for a down payment.
But wait; are you a military member or a veteran? If you are the news isn't as bad. With your VA Guaranteed Home Loan benefit you can still obtain a loan with no down payment and a fixed interest rate that … (4 comments)

Naval Base Kitsap :: Certificate of Eligibility | VA Home Loan :: Have 30 Seconds? - 05/04/08 06:41 PM
If you have ever been involved with military bureaucracy finding out you have to apply for something might bring memories of frustration and time consuming tasks. Fear not when it comes to obtaining your Certificate of Eligibility. Because of the updated and automated system the VA has with their application link called WebLGY. WebLGY provides several "real-time" processes and receiving your Certificate of Eligibility is one.
With the implementation of the ACE (Automated Certificate of Eligibility) system an approved lender can obtain a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) in just minutes - in fact a resent pod cast I viewed on the Department of Veterans Affairs web site … (7 comments)
