clark county: Incredible Vietnamese Sandwiches Located In Vancouver, WA - 12/17/07 03:36 PM
I first discovered Vietnamese sandwiches in Seattle last year and fell in love. They are a french bread sandwich with pate, pickled vegetables, cucumber, cilantro, onions, jalapeno's (I leave them off) and your choice of meat. They are really great. When I came home I tried to find them locally with no luck...Until now! I just discovered Tan Tan Café & Delicatessen and they make the best sandwich I have ever had. It had a ton of grilled lemongrass pork and the vegetables and pate were just right. Another great thing about the sandwiches is they range from $2.25 to $2.75, … (5 comments)

Thursday night at 10:30 p.m. KPTV Channel 12 will be airing a special presentation. It was filmed in Nicaragua. It highlights life inside the landfill outside the capital city of Managua. A whole city has been formed inside this most horrible location that lives off whatever garbage they can get. I had the priveledge of attending a fundraiser for a local Vancouver, WA based organization, Forward Edge International this past Saturday. The event was specifically designed for this location. The work they are doing there is unbelievable. As you are enjoying the freedom's and luxuries we all enjoy this Thanksgiving, please … (3 comments)

clark county: It's A Great Time To Buy! - 10/24/07 04:37 PM
Attention buyers! Now is a great time to consider making that offer. Interest rates are still great and there is plenty to choose from. Get off the fence, step out there and "Just Do It"! Now that doesn't mean run around making ridiculously low offers on everything on the market. Make sure your Realtor knows the market values of the houses in the neighborhood and listen to their counsel. We are there for a reason and want to see you get the best price possible. The reason for not making insane offers is that hopefully a mutual place can be reached … (2 comments)

clark county: WANTED: A New I-5 Bridge - 10/21/07 09:08 PM
Alright, I don't normally have to head into Portland, OR first thing in the morning but last Thursday I found myself doing just that. Let me say... we need a new bridge! What under normal circumstances would be a 15 minute drive from my house was almost a hour and twenty minutes. I'd say this exceeds an acceptable level of service. For those of you who make this drive daily, my hats are off to you. You deserve a medal. I called a friend of mine to let him know I'd called the Vatican and nominated him for sainthood as he … (1 comments)

clark county: Streets of Gold in Fisher's Landing - 10/19/07 09:12 PM
Fall is in the air and the streets are covered with gold in Fisher's Landing right now. Today I was driving through Fisher's Landing showing houses and found the area to be most beautiful.The fall colors are in full swing and the leaves are falling fast. The windstorm and rain these past few days certainly helped this process out. It is amazing how quickly things change around here. While we are in Fisher's Landing let's talk about the Year-To-Date numbers for this great neighborhood. As of the end of September the Average Sale Price is $314,300 and the Median Sale Price … (1 comments)

clark county: Clark County's New Land Bridge - 10/16/07 11:21 AM
That's what this thing is. You probably have wondered as I have what they are building across Hwy 14 as you pass by Fort Vancouver. This is a natural path 40' wide crossing which will reconnect the Fort to our waterfront.Back in the day you used to be able to walk from one to the other and as growth has happened this link was broken. Now this link is being rebuilt. This will hopefully provide a renewed appreciation of our long history with our very own Fort Vancouver and the Hudson's Bay Trading Company. Our waterfront has become a great place … (0 comments)

clark county: Clark County Lifts Salmon Creek Moratorium - 09/26/07 09:49 AM
Today the Board of County Commissioners lifted the two year moratorium in the Salmon Creek and Hazel Dell areas of Clark County.  This will pave the way for new development to once again take place in this fast growing area.
One of the big issues that caused the halt to development was the traffic problems within this area.  The irony is that the realization of how to fund traffic improvement is through the Traffic Impact Fees of new developments.  So, with some strict guidelines in place the doors are now open for new applications to be submitted to Clark County for continued … (0 comments)

clark county: It's The End Of The World As We Know It... - 09/13/07 02:57 PM
...And I Feel Fine! Not only is this a great classic R.E.M. song, but a truth to our current Real Estate world. And I do feel fine. Why you ask? Our market here in Clark County (and around the Pacific NW) is actually returning to a more stable and "normal" market. Not a day goes by that I don't have this conversation at least two or three times. Normal? How can I say that? Isn't everything collapsing around us? No, it isn't. It is true that we are still adjusting from the crazy anomaly of the last few years. But that … (2 comments)

clark county: Leave the lights on... - 05/23/07 08:50 PM
Hello everyone,
Sorry for the absence on here.
Real estate has been going really well and I've been quite busy.  Busy showing houses to quite a few buyers.  As we have been looking at all sorts of homes a trend has been noticed.  Not enough sellers leave their lights on inside the home for showings.  This is something that definitely helps makes your house feel lighter and brighter, even on a sunny day.  I understand it is tough to leave all the lights on when you go to work but do the best you can.
A properly staged home is so important (a topic to … (2 comments)
