Kitsap County | Why do builders settle for less? - 12/31/08 07:10 PM
Authored By: Jo Soss : WestSoundLive.com
 
First a brief look at my background in new construction.
In 1995 I met a real estate agent named Don Richards at the Windermere office I had just moved my license to.

Port Orchard | The Video - 12/01/08 01:38 PM
A couple of months back I received a contact from Ron Finney of NorthWoods Productions requesting permission to use a photo I had taken and uploaded to Google Images.  This photo uploaded to Google led him to my web site where the photo is used.  You see Ron was in the process of putting together the Visitor's Video for the Port Orchard Chamber of Commerce and must have been researching for local area photos. Of course I said yes and have been checking for the video on-line every so often.
Well, today I was reading the blogs over at the Kitsap … (4 comments)
