The Mack-Daddy of All Open Houses Last summer I had the unique experience of showcasing one of my listings, a real architectural gem, in the local Historical Home Tour. The experience was overwhelmingly wonderful & offered a unique opportunity to expose Astoria's Crown Jewel to a massive amount of people. It was estimated that over 200 people toured the Henry Hoefler home on that beautiful summer afternoon. Suffice it to say, this was the largest open house that I've ever experienced! Fast forward 8-months - Imagine my surprise when I recently received a call from an agent proclaiming to … (3 comments)

Gearhart, the place that I lovingly call home! A small, quaint town with a New England flavor. A place where you still feel a calm sense of security far removed from the hustle of the big city. Building codes restrict the commercial development that threatens our small town charm! As such, it's small mom & pop ventures that cater to the needs of our visiting tourists. Pop's Ice Cream Parlor is a wonderful example of our small town enterprises enjoyed by both young & old. Another must see & do is to partake in our annual 4th. of July … (0 comments)

marianne pittard: MARIANNE PITTARD EARNS PRESTIGIOUS DESIGNATION TO HELP HOMEOWNERS IN DANGER OF FORECLOSURE
- 04/07/10 02:22 AM
Marianne Pittard of RE/MAX River & Sea has earned the prestigious Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, having completed extensive training in foreclosure avoidance and short sales. This is invaluable expertise to offer at a time when the area is ravaged by "distressed" homes in the foreclosure process. Short sales allow the cash-strapped seller to repay the mortgage at the price that the home sells for, even though it is lower than what is owed on the property. With plummeting property values, this can save many people from foreclosure and even bankruptcy. More and more lenders are willing to consider short … (0 comments)
