Glad to Meet You....Here is my cutest look!

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 19:08:43 -0600

Thanks for the invite to your group. As you can probably tell...I am a HUGE fan of our little four legged friends. Here is a picture of Chewbacca taken with my iphone. Just a few minutes before when his eyes were closed you couldn't tell where in the world his eyes were...

He is just one year old. In fact, he was an early Christmas present. I got him a year ago tomorrow when I was down in the Lewiston Clarkston Valley shopping the day after Thanksgiving.

He is Munchkin...a cross between a Yorkie and Shitzu. So here is to one year with the cutest little bundle of fur you can imagine!

Now That is a Move...

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:04:46 -0600

I was watching the news while getting my kitchen cleaned up and ready for some serious cooking over the next few days and overheard a broadcast stating that a Couer D'Alene Cabin was on the move.

I looked up and couldn't believe it! A move! That was an understatement! They are barging a 100,000 pound cabin across the lake! Here is the link in case you would like to see the pictures of the move.

According to the reporter and the article posted on line, the land was purchased to build a multi-million dollar home along the lake....soooo the cabin had to go.

It looks like quite an extensive undertaking. First, of course, they had to get it off the foundation and on the barge. Can you imagine the shifting weight?

And what the report brought out that the article doesn't, is that it will be an uphill challenge to get that cabin on it's new and waiting foundation.

The company spokesman said he and his crew would be working through Thanksgiving. It was a large job and they just couldn't pass it up...just hope they take some much needed time to enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving Feast

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving...a time to say thanks....

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:11:38 -0600

Thanksgiving always comes a little early for us in Pullman Washington as the Washington State University students pack up to head to their families for Thanksgiving Break.

They are busy heading to and from classes today knowing that a the week ahead will be a great time to re-connect with their families and friends.

It is always amazing to watch the streets in Pullman go from being packed to a special quietness as the students head home. A wonderful stillness surrounds our community during the Holiday times....

Yet, interestinly today has also been a busy day with lots of showings for myself and lots of our agents.... I have seen lots of activity at our office ...that is great!

I would like to take this time to wish you all traveling home for Thanksgiving a safe trip and wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!

Please enjoy the video I did ... just my way of saying Thank You....and How Much I appreciate You and Your Referrals.....

Be Cautious About Giving Info to Census Workers

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:02:38 -0600

I came across this excellent post via Larry Betag with respect to the upcoming U.S. Census.

Via Larry Bettag - Cherry Creek Mortgage:

With the U.S. Census process beginning, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) advises people to be cautious. The major concern is that individuals don't become a victim of fraud or identity theft.

The first phase of the 2010 U.S. Census is under way as workers have begun verifying the addresses of households across the country. Eventually, more than 140,000 U.S. Census workers will count every person in the United States and will gather information about every person living at each address including name, age, gender, race, and other relevant data.

The big question is - how do you tell the difference between a U.S. Census worker and a con artist? BBB offers the following advice:

** If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door, they will have a badge, a handheld device, a Census Bureau canvas bag, and a confidentiality notice. Ask to see their identification and their badge before answering their questions. However, you should never invite anyone you don't know into your home.

** Census workers are currently only knocking on doors to verify address information. Do not give your Social Security number, cre dit card or banking information to anyone, even if they claim they need it for the U.S. Census. While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information, such as a salary range, the Census Bureau will not ask for Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers nor will employees solicit donations.

Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail, or in person at home. However, the Census Bureau will not contact you by Email, so be on the lookout for Email scams impersonating the Census.

Never click on a link or open any attachments in an Email that are supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.

For more advice on avoiding identity theft and fraud, visit http://www.bbb.org/.

The Power of the Rain...

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:05:46 -0600

I guess I have just been in one of my reflective moods of late but I ran across this picture a couple of days ago. It has been rolling around in my head and it just keeps going through the corridors of my mind as I have been reading blogs here in the Rain.

It struck me that when we first join Active Rain we all feel pretty isolated. Like the rain drops in the picture. Maybe you remember that feeling....just "one drop" among so many...I know I did.

Over this past year I have been finding myself...myself as a blogger, myself as a Realtor and how I decide to do my business, and me as person. Yes, even as a person as these things are shaping who I am and who I want to become.

As "this little drop" reached out to other drops...sometimes for help...sometimes for support...sometimes for fun...an amazing thing happened. I learned from some great bloggers here to find my own style. From Debe Maxwell I learned to strive for superior service and dress up my blog....from Loreena Yeo to be myself...from Gary Woltal to reach inside myself and express that...and from Sheldon Neal to have some fun...and of course from more than I can name a lot about Real Estate...after all it is a passion WE ALL SHARE...

So you see, like the picture water does tends to attract other drops....and I guess I had an epiphany of sorts...it struck me that is The Power of Active Rain.

We are a community...made of lots of different people...with different interests...different points of view...and that is what makes this such a great place. And although we are all so different...We have one thing in common.

We all have a passion for Real Estate and we are part of this fast growing Active Rain Community. I guess we are like little ants working away commenting and blogging...for the benefit of ourselves and the community that we are all a part of. We all know we can't do it alone...that is why we are here...we recognize the power of numbers...yet we are ~ each and everyone of us ~ unique with our own perspectives and experiences to share...that is the power of the Rain.

Today is a Day to Remember...

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:29:11 -0600

Today is a day to remember....

Remembering what we enjoy because of the sacrifice of others....

I stop to reflect thinking of those I know who personally served and those I don't. My husband's father landed on Omaha Beach after the first initial waves. For years, he really didn't talk much about it..there was always an untold pain behind his eyes like so many of our soldiers who survived.... But I have been told that late in life he went back with some of his grandchildren and began to tell of the ultimate sacrifice made by many...many of his friends. And I had the honor to watch his military service when he passed away recently...there was such a beautiful and fitting dignity that I will always remember.

We enjoy so much in this great land thanks to the men and women who serve. And we wish everyone one of them safety. And for those who have fallen we offer our meager thanks...

Veterans will be honored today at Washington State University in Pullman Washington at the Compton Union Building Auditorium between 9:30 to 11:15 AM. There will be refreshment to start off the ceremony with the ceremony beginning at 10:00 AM. At 10:45 there will be a procession to the WSU Veterans Memorial with the laying of the wreath and honor guard to follow.

Rebecca Schwartz is one of our local volunteers who works tirelessly in supporting our military and as usual works behinds the scenes giving back as her personal way to say thanks. When our local national guardsmen were called into service, she organized several support the troups gatherings in our community whereby we gathered together to write cards and send care packages to our soldiers throughout the year. When our troops returned she was presented a flag in thanks to her supporting them.

Here is a picture they sent to us in thanks...and it strikes me as a wonderful cycle...we reach out in thanks as we should...and they reach back and say thank you for support...do please reach out and say thanks today....somehow...someway...just get it done...they did...

Buying Your Pullman WA Home & The New Tax Credit!

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:07:47 -0600

Now is even a better time to buy a home in Washington State! First Time home buyers now have until April 30, 2009 to have a signed around purchase and sale agreement for their first home and be eligible for up to an 8,000 dollar tax credit.

The buyer also has a 60 day grace period to complete their financing. So that means you could be in your first home anywhere between the first snowfall in Pullman to our wonderful 4th of July celebration in Sunnyside Park!

And now more first time home buyers qualify! The annual income qualifications have also risen to 75,000 to 125,000 for singles and 150,000 to 225,000 for married couples! That is great news for first time home buyers!

And don't feel left out if you currently own a home. Now with the expanded tax credit it current home owners may also qualify for a tax credit up to 6,500! They too must purchase by April 30, 2010. And to qualify they must of lived in their current home for 5 consecutive years over the 8 previous years to qualify. The home must be $800,000 or less.... and be their primary residence between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010. Income limits are the same as for the first time home buyers...75,000 to 125,000 for singles and 150,000 to 225,000 for married couples!

Rates are still great. I was speaking with a loan officer today and it is still possible for home buyers to get into a home for as little as 3 1/2 percent down! What a great time to buy that Washington home whether you are a first time home buyer or current home owner thinking about a new home.

Call me and let's see what we can do to get you into that your own piece of the American Dream in Pullman Washington that you can call "Home Sweet Home."

Realtor Tour in Pullman Washington

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:05:17 -0600

I live in a small town. We can get across town in about 5 minutes. And even when we get inundated with out of town visitors for an out of town event such as a WSU game it is still about 10 minutes. Living in a small town has it's benefits.

One of those benefits is Realtor Tour. Because we can readily access the properties in our area, our office, like many of the offices here go out on tour faithfully. The benefits are immense.

We see the properties before we show always keeping our eye for that perfect house for our client.
We have a better feel for the pricing on our own listings either currently on the market or coming on the market.
We let our seller's in our area know that we as an association are working hard to sell their property. I think this is very important....we need to let the seller's know first hand that we are out there working to sell their home!
We get the opportunity to meet as an office and caravan. Our office is like a family and it gives us an opportunity to see each other and discuss current trends. We sure do have a great time on Tour!
We also get to see other agents in different offices too....and that is great! Sometimes it is an old acquaintance that has moved on and a chance to catch up. Sometimes it is an agent that we may of had a deal with in the past. It gives us a chance to catch up about how they and their family may be.

Last week our office at Beasley put on a Breakfast tour. It was a blast...each of us put something different out so that you had a pretty full tummy by the time tour was over. We also put in a sign in sheet for a drawing.

This week another Realtor from a different office put out lunch. It was great! I think the golden rule applies here...we treat both our clients, the seller's of other Realtor's clients and each other as Realtors as we would want to be treated ourselves...

Dad's Weekend in Pullman Washington ~ November 14-15, 2009

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:01:08 -0600

Today has got to be THE CLASSIC FALL DAY day in Pullman Washington. The sky is blue and the temperature today was close to 60 degrees. There was just a light breeze providing just a bit of movement to the leaves still left on the trees. It was gorgeous!

I found myself for a few wonderful hours in the heart of WSU. Pullman is host to Washington State University. I watched students and professors heading to and from their classes with book bags and satchels in tow. Everyone really seemed to be enjoying this beautiful day.

Washington State University provides great opportunities and things to do in Pullman. Thanks to the university there is always something going on!

I am looking forward to next weekend when WSU will host their 2009 Dad's Weekend. It is a blast! All those Cougs have Dad come in for a weekend packed with events from beginning to end. Of course our town explodes when Dad's pour into town to see their Coug sons and daughters for a great weekend! And fun is had by all!

It all starts off on November 14, 2009 at 9:00AM with a welcome for Dad's at the WSU Visitor center where there will be treats and coffee from the Dining Services. Also, you have the opportunity to sample our famous Cougar Cheese of the week! YUMMY!!!!

Feel like taking in an exhibit! This should be fun...there will be "Cougs in the Conner Museum" with "Prowl Our Big Cats" on the 14th from 9:00Am to 12:00 PM

And what would a Dad's weekend be without football?!!! Saturday (time to be determined) we will host UCLA. Football and Dads....a match made in heaven!

And of course, Jeff Dunham will do one of his stand up routines that will have everyone rolling the isles with this collection of 3 foot puppets!!! I sure Beasley Performing Arts Colesium will explode with laughter from 8:30 to 10:00.

PS...If you are Dad that sports our rival purple and gold colors...I would suggest you leave your Husky gear at home!!! Go COUGS!!!!

Fall Back and Tuck Your Pullman WA Home in for the Winter

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 19:49:24 -0500

Tonight marks the end of Daylight Savings time. So before you go to bed turn your clocks back one hour. I personally love gaining the extra hour of sleep.

As we turn back our clocks it is great reminder that we also need to tuck our homes in for the upcoming winter. The winters in Pullman Washington, although most magical, are best enjoyed when our homes are functioning properly. In fact, just the other day we had our first few snowflakes falling. So, here are just a few all important things you need to check off of your list before winter sets in.

The leaves clinging to the trees, putting on their final show of glory, before fluttering to the ground will, of course, need to be raked. But don't forget to make sure you clean your gutters. Gutters that don't drain properly are a main source of water penetration in basements and ice dams in the frozen winter months.

Don't forget to remove all outside hoses and protect outside faucets. And if you have sprinkler system, make sure it has been blown out.
Run all gas-powered lawn equipment until the fuel is gone. That way you won't run into problems with your equipment come spring.
Don't forget to replace furnace filters and have your furnace checked.
Have your chimney professionally swept and checked so you can enjoy long cozy nights in front of the fireplace worry free.
Please, replace all smoke detector batteries. Both in the Spring and Fall with the time change is a great time to take care of this all important task!

Understanding The Big Picture In Buying Your Pullman Home

Selling Your Pullman WA Home in the Fall and Winter Market

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 23:20:04 -0500

Fall is here and winter is approaching...with that in mind temperatures are dropping. Last week in Pullman Washington we had unusually cold weather. Temperatures dropped from our usual 30 to 40 night time temps to nearly 10 degrees! Fortunately, things have warmed back up, but with that in mind it is time to think about how your home "shows" during the fall and winter months.

For those of you home owners who are living in your home while your home is on the market, please make sure to leave those interior lights on and furnace up for showings. If you should have a fireplace, a fire in the fireplace is a great selling point!

A well lit home is a great marketing tool too! You might want to consider some lights a long your walk way. And think of how many people pass by your home on their way home from work. Your home beaming with lights provides a welcome beacon that makes that buyer want to come in and see your lovely home first hand.

And if you do find yourself having to move on to your new location, leaving your home vacant during the fall and winter months, one of the very most important thing you can do is leave your thermostat up! A cold and dark home just doesn't have that warm inviting feeling that allows a buyer to see themselves in their new home. Leaving your heat at merely 50 plus may protect your pipes from freezing weather, but it doesn't provide that warm comfy feeling your buyers are looking for! So, turn up the heat! Your buyers and you, the seller, could very well be glad you did!

Yesterday was the monthly Chamber of Commerce luncheon. It was most enjoyable to meet other members of the Pullman Chamber of Commerce. The spirit of community that we share in our small town was most impressive.

Yesterday's speaker was Dr. Scott Adams, the head of the Pullman Memorial Hospital. We, as a community, are proud of our great facility that has such a high customer satisfaction level both in our state and nationally. Way to go Pullman Memorial!

Lunch was scrumptious. The company was great. It was a most enjoyable way to spend the lunch hour! And in behalf of all our team, thanks Pullman Chamber of Commerce!
