washington county real estate: Beaverton Oregon Real Estate: Don’t extend that listing contract if… - 05/28/08 09:25 AM
Yesterday I went on a listing appointment with a person that had had their home expire after 284 days on the market. They had 10, count them, 10 extensions of that listing contract! Why, did this person keep signing things with this other agent, even though they weren't producing results?

washington county real estate: Does the Earth Quake in China hit home, you bet! - 05/16/08 01:52 PM
To see all the death and destruction in China does bring things home for me. Why? Because I have a wife that fears the big one that is always being promised to us here in the Pacific Northwest.
The news talks about the destruction in these foreign countries and then immediately they start to talk about when it will happen here and how soon.
