Buyers and Sellers~There's more to buying or selling a home than you think.... - 12/31/08 02:46 PM
Just when you thought you heard it all and were fairly up to speed on what is involved in costs to a seller and or buyer in a real estate transaction, something gets thrown into the "keg of costs" to throw everyone off balance! Well heres, the latest "powder" thrown into the "short sale keg of costs."
An interesting letter landed in my email inbox a few minutes ago regarding "short sales" and Excise Tax in our State. Apparantly,The Department of Revenue for the State of Washington, gave clarification to escrow companies, that on a "short sale" transaction the seller … (9 comments)

Please pass the Lemonade - 12/28/08 02:04 PM
Sooo I received a "Lemonade Award" from Alisha Harrison...
My first thought - "HUH?!?!?!? What has this girl come up with now!" And then when I followed her blog, my "Lemonade pucker" turned into a big smile...Although I think she said I have been awarded this for "Attitude!" OK I admit it I might have a LITTLE "attitude!"
Thank you Alisha - I felt very honored and I enjoyed reviewing all of the Lemonade Award "re- sippy-ients" blogs as well!
I have chosen 10 people on Active Rain that I am honoring with the "Lemonade" award. Their links are below. I hope … (9 comments)

The spirit of the season brings communities together ~Allyn, Belfair, Grapeview, Hood Canal & Puget Sound WA~ shine in the Christmas Spirit - 12/23/08 02:21 PM
I know there are probably many blogs out there right now regarding Christmas and the horrible weather going on in the various places of the country -and well here's another one!
I have been housebound for a few days and was finally rescued by my Managing Broker Richard Bell, I felt like I was starting to turn into "the Grinch" as I worked myself into a housebound state of "bah humbug!" Talk about feeling out of my element when stuck home for so many days!
The weather has been hard, but here's the thing - have you noticed how … (7 comments)

Part II ~~There are no dreams too big....No mountain too high. A young man from Allyn, WA reaches the top and never stops dreaming - 12/22/08 11:31 AM
In a recent blog (There are no dreams too big....No mountain too high. A young man from Allyn, WA reaches the top and never stops dreaming), I couldn't hold my excitement any more about my son graduating from college.
Our son received his diploma yesterday as a Dr. of Chiropractic medicine. As a mom, I can't even begin to explain the feelings that are in my heart everytime I think of our son walking up to the podium to receive his diploma - Dr. Sean Benjamin Spaulding, Dr. Of Chiropractic medicine and I beam from ear to ear, it gives me goosebumps, brings tears of … (6 comments)

Yes, Valerie, there really is a Santa Claus....
His name is Ron and he is my husband and my "Santa Claus." He drove for two days through blinding snow and blizzard like conditions to make our dreams and wishes come true...
My husband and I had decided it was too dangerous for our daughter to try and drive back from Pullman, WA even with chains on her little car due to the heavy snow that has been pounding the area for over a week now. He was going to get her... He tried to do it Thursday only to be turned back because … (13 comments)

LakeLand Village~Allyn~WA~Winter Wonderland - 12/18/08 06:48 PM
WINTER WONDERLAND IN ALLYN WA
Our recent snowfall in Allyn WA this morning brought oh approximately 6 inches of fresh snow and some slippery conditions for sure. My husband was on a store run for several neighbors who couldn't get out in the snow and he took these pictures around the neighborhood of LakeLand Village.
It is a winter wonderland and the beauty is breathtaking as the snow settles in for the upcoming days. When my husband asked if there were anything we needed at the store, we both decided to check with others on our street and in the … (8 comments)

It's not too late to take advantage of the tax credit aid to buy that first home... - 12/18/08 05:58 PM
I recently had someone ask me about the first time home buyer $7500 tax aid credit. His son was wanting to use it and had some really good questions regarding it. I sent them to the Internal Revenue Service Website to verify all their information. What they did not know or realize was that it did not end the end of this year and they CAN claim it on their 2008 taxes if they purchase in 2009.
The tax credit is good through July 1,2009. And if you purchase a home in 2009 - you can claim it on either your … (6 comments)

We'll have to ask about that....) At any rate, … (7 comments)
