Sandy Oregon Real Estate Tour

By
Home Builder with 219-465-8352

I'll be totally honest, I didn't know where Sandy Oregon was, so once again time for a little research. 

Oregon State MapHere's the whole State of Oregon.  Sandy (red dot) is located in the northern county of Clackamas County which was incoporated in 1913. 

Now, what we really need is a tour guide, so I chose Sandy Oregon real estate professional Valerie Harvey of John L. Scott.  For in-depth help I went to Valerie's terrific site Gresham and Sandy Oregon Real Estate the one stop source for the following communities:

 

 

Now it's well known that when I stop into a community, I go straight to check out the new home builders, the models, the specs, even the lots and land ... I love new construction.  Well our tour guide Valerie has spotlighted Sandy and Gresham area New Construction too.

So, how does one go about choosing a home?  I suggested a tour guide.  Why?  So I can have someone drive me all over town and point things out?  No, so that a real estate professsional who really knows Sandy and Gresham homes and communities can GUIDE me to the right home.

Why Tourguide?  Because I think real estate professionals are the ultimate tour guides, guides to a community, to a lifestyle, to the most important of all decisions we make ... our HOME!  Here's how Wikipedia defines a tour guide:

A tour guide at the Centre Block in Canada. A tour guide at the Centre Block in Canada.

A tour guide is a person who leads groups of people around a town, museum, or other tourist venue. The tour guide provides a commentary on the features and history of the location, the tours can be from as little as 10-15 minutes to extended periods over many days. Considerable importance is placed on the guide's knowledge of local stories, history and culture depending on the location of the tour

A guide who works at a particular location, such as a museum, may be called a docent and may provide entertaining, relevant, organized and themed heritage interpretation. The role consists of leading groups of visitors around cultural, environmentally, or previously arranged attractions in significant places.

Steve, I met Valerie through the activerain network and she appears to be a very good realtor in Sandy, Oregon. Great post about Valerie and her area. I appreciate the map as I wasn't sure how close to Portland it was.

Thanks Missy, I too was trying to really figure out Sandy and Gresham Oregon, so I decided to play a bit of sleath and chose Valerie as my "tourguide"

Steve,

I like the tour guide concept.  I often try to write my Localism posts from the perspective of guiding someone not from the area through a community.  Valerie has a lot of valuable information about Sandy Oregon and the homes in that area.

The figure is calculated according to three factors: private grazing land lease rates, beef cattle prices and the cost of livestock production. In effect, the fee rises, falls or stays the same based on market conditions, with livestock operators paying more when conditions are better and less when conditions have declined. you can visit the website for more detail information about Oregon Home Builders.
