grants pass: Our Office is a Home... Just Like Yours!
- 11/21/13 03:04 AM
Our Office is a Home... Just Like Yours! This morning, I woke up to my cell phone pinging with messages from friends and colleagues congratulating me on 5 years of owning and managing my real estate brokerage, Real Estate Cafe LLC. Boy, was that a surprise! First, because as the crow flies... the occasion simply eluded me. Second, because I had no idea that anyone was aware of the milestone. Now that I've had several cups of coffee to reflect, I thought I'd share some of what I've learned. Prior to launching Real Estate Cafe, I developed a business plan in 2003 with my wonderfully brilliant daughter Rachael. The … (22 comments)
grants pass: Coffee Dude Goes Undercover... Boss Style!
- 11/12/13 07:02 AM
Move over Starbucks... a new coffee squeeze is making its debut on the big screen tonight and it's totally an undercover operation! Southern Oregon's own coffee mogul, Travis Boersma of Dutch Bros Coffee, is about to kick some liquid ask tonight on 'Undercover Boss.' Travis, along with his brother Dane, founded the Dutch Bros Coffee Company in Grants Pass, Oregon in 1992, by selling coffee from a cart in a parking lot in the sleepy little river town. Twenty one years later, Dutch Bros Coffee has expanded to 202 locations with 2,000 employees in seven states, making it the largest privately held drive-thru coffee chain with annual revenues more than $100 million. Now, that's … (15 comments)
grants pass: It's Like Floating Through a Zoo
- 07/02/13 05:28 AM
It's been said that rafting the Wild and Scenic Rogue River is like floating through a zoo. Why? Because in these parts, there are plenty of bald eagles, osprey, deer, bear, fox, Chinook salmon, steelhead, and raccoons hiding around every corner of tall pine trees and beautiful rock formations. If it's adventure you seek, the Rogue River offers many Class II and III rapids, making it one of the best rivers to float in a raft or inflatable kayak. If the scenic route is more your style, I recommend a Hellgate Jet-Boat Excursion. It's a 4-hour tour of the Rogue River with a stop at the … (13 comments)
grants pass: Why I LOVE the Pacific Northwest
- 06/25/13 01:35 AM
Why I LOVE the Pacific Northwest. The Pacific Northwest never ceases to amaze me. This morning, I woke up to a brief Summer rain shower that left the air smelling fresh and crisp. I love it when that happens!
Fifteen years ago, I was enticed by her majestic beauty, which made it easy to lay down roots and call Southern Oregon my permanent home. Here are just a few reasons why I love the Pacific Northwest: - The mountains are close and beautiful - The trees are tall, green, and simply stunning - Wild and scenic rivers run through many towns - There are trails and … (18 comments)
grants pass: Sometimes, I Need To Be Reminded...
- 03/28/13 10:45 AM
Sometimes, I Need To Be Reminded.... of all the reasons why I live in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. I received an interesting call this morning from an out-of-state seller who wanted to pick my brain. After a brief exchange about real estate, the gentleman disclosed that he's a published writer of several books about small towns across America, including Grants Pass, Oregon. I asked about his interest in Southern Oregon and why he bought property here. Then the flood gates opened... I got a lovely earful of all the wonderful reasons to move to Southern Oregon. What are they, you ask? For starters... the wild and scenic … (15 comments)
