timothy butterworth: Oregon humor. Happy Friday!

You feel guilty throwing aluminum cans or paper in the trash.You use the statement "sun break" and know what it means.You know more than 10 ways to order coffee.You know more people who own boats than air conditioners.You feel overdressed wearing a suit to a nice restaurant.You stand on a deserted corner in the rain waiting for the "Walk" signal.You consider that if it has no snow or has not recently erupted, it is not a real mountain.You know the difference between Chinook, Coho, and Sockeye salmon. ( I do)You know how to pronounce Sequim, Puyallup, Issaquah, Oregon, Yakima, and … (0 comments)

Oregon Foreclosures on the rise, Opportunity for Investors. Oregon has been a little slow in getting hit with the housing crisis but it is starting to catch up and people are starting to notice it more and more as it effects them or their neighborhoods a little more personally. The third quarter showed that Multnomah,Clackamas, Washington and Clark(WA) counties having more than 2800 homeowners in default with their lenders. Homes are becoming vacant, in disrepair, and in some cases striped down of Fixtures, Appliances,light bulbs. Some home are even being vandalized by either the previous owners or outside trespassers. Not only … (0 comments)
After a long week and getting a closed deal at Escrow, I decided to have a laugh and pull out a few old pics of myself during the halloween Times. Granted these are not todays pictures. So here goes a blast from the past. Seems as though Rock Stars were my theme. 1980
Here are some things that I do, give it a try. 1. Get up 30 minutes early each day. If you average an extra 30 minutes in your day, you will gain over 3 hours each week. 2. Don't lay in bed all day on Saturdays and Sundays. Seriously, What a waste. Unless your in college and have partied all night long, get UP!! 3. Keep a list of things to do close at hand. I have a master list in my home office and a smaller list that i bring with me were ever I go. Think its a title co note … (14 comments)
1. Letting your emotions take complete control and making an offer on the first home seen without looking at others. Please do not get me wrong, I want to sell you a home. Many homebuyers, particularly first time homebuyers, fall into the trap of falling in love with the very first house that they see. I suggest looking at 3-7 more homes even if you do not want to. Then Sleep on it. Even in a sellers market when the homes were getting multiple bids, I still encouraged people … (4 comments)

timothy butterworth: Remember that this too shall pass.
- 10/24/08 04:18 AM
Sometimes The day can become too much and we have to take a step back. Every day we face new challenges. When things start to overwhelm us we can chose to try to refocus and think positive. Remember that the situation that is at hand will soon pass and another will take its place. "This too shall pass". Sometimes all we need is a little faith and believing that tommorrow will be a better day. Cheers! Best to you and yours.

We all can learn from those that are around us, i that do not mean just the people in the same profession. have you ever wondered why a new agent just seemed to do well at first with building their business? have you ever seen somebody go from really poor sales to having more business then they can handle? i think it is safe to say that we all have experienced this with a variety … (4 comments)

timothy butterworth: 9/11 Remembered
- 09/11/06 02:43 AM
I would like to take a minute to just remember those that lost their lives 5 years ago as they went about a daily routine as they had done so many times before. To remember the Hero, that asked for no praise, as they ran into a building and struggled through a chaotic maze. Let us remember the people the spent countless hours digging through the ashes and rumble in hope and despair. Let us remember the lives affected that day, a day that started out not so different then the previous for so many. Let us remember those that never … (2 comments)
timothy butterworth: FSBO a few reasons why people want to sell their own home and a few reasons why they may want to reconsider.
- 09/10/06 12:10 PM
FSBO a few reasons why people want to sell their own home and a few reasons why they may want to reconsider. I think we all can agree that the first and principal reason that people want to sell their home themself is that they would like to save a portion of the commission. Let's see how that might work out the final offer price of $200,000 for the home. If the home seller was to pay a 5% commission to sell their home to an agent, what would that cost them? It would be $10,000 in commission fee's that are split … (12 comments)

Porltand has a POPULATION 550,000,; and near 2 million in the metropolitan area. Portland's climate has been ideal for the growing of roses, and it has many rose gardens through out the city.

A few other popular nicknames include "Bridgetown" (because of its several bridges), "Stumptown", "Puddletown" ( the weather), and "River City" (because of its closeness to the Columbia and Willamette Rivers).
