relocation: Another Beaverton, Oregon resident on the move!
- 10/17/11 05:40 AM
I love helping buyers relocate to Beaverton, Oregon and I wonder sometimes what made them want to move across the country having never been here before. If you have ever been to Beaverton, Oregon, then you know why you would want to move here. But, moving to a place you have never seen but in pictures would be hard for me. But, I also understand many people move her for work and a better life. My job as a Realtor is to help make that move as easy as possible. I also hope by sharing my pictures of the area … (6 comments)

- 05/13/09 05:07 AM
If you are considering relocating to Beaverton, Oregon, finding out about a certain neighborhood before you actually live here certainly isn’t something that is easy to do. But, hopefully, my neighborhood posts will help you find a place to call home. The Aloha Neighborhood of Beaverton, Oregon, is a well established part of Beaverton that has many homes built in the 1960s and 1970s, but many homes have been added to the community over the years. There are even a couple new developments in the area that were built in 2003-2004, but most of the area is a little bit older. Relocating to … (3 comments)

We all miss the dog days of summer and long for the next one, but now you can find out how your dog got to be your dog. If you are in Portland, Oregon, then you can visit the World Forestry Center now through January 4th, 2009 and find out the story of dogs.

relocation: Are you moving cross country? It maybe cheaper to sell everything and buy new when you get here!
- 09/22/08 06:49 PM
With the price of fuel and the cost of moving companies going up more and more people are realizing that they can sell a lot of their stuff on line and at garage sales and buy used furniture and replacement items in their new home state and save thousands over packing it up and sending it on a moving truck. I recently had a client move from North Carolina who got a quote to move all their stuff, furniture, kitchen appliances, pots and pans, to Oregon would have cost them nearly $12,000, but instead they sold it online and at a garage … (10 comments)
relocation: My first actual fishing trip (Guest Post)
- 07/22/08 03:52 AM
My first actual fishing trip was with grandpa, dad and my grandma came too, but she read instead of fished. We started at 9:30 and ended about 12:55, but we didn't catch anything. Grandpa was the only one to lose his bait, but I was the only one that got 3 nibbles. We saw a couple of osprey though. Here is a picture of them, taken by my grandpa. On our way back we saw this old water wheel and on the way there and back we saw this eagles nest, we knew it's an eagle's nest because dad and grandpa saw an … (12 comments)
relocation: Beaverton Oregon Real Estate: Moving With Children
- 05/13/07 04:59 AM
In honor of mothers day I thought this would be a timely post, hope all you moms out there are having a wonderful mother's day. Moving is a stressful time for you, but imagine how it is for a child who doesn't understand why he has to leave his school and friends behind. Before moving get all of your children's friends addresses, address the envelopes and tell them you they can write to them anytime. Pack up the children's room last and unpack it first. Make sure a routine is set that can be used in both homes. Start reading to the kids … (0 comments)

Just got back from the Portland Beaver's Home Opener and wow what a game. But, in the end the Beavers didn't disapoint.

relocation: WE BUY HOUSES or Do They?
- 03/16/07 07:58 AM
Do you want to know the truth? They don't really buy house they buy problems. What is a problem? A problem is you are behind on your payments, death, divorce or you have a pending move and don't want two payments and other similar things. These people buy these problems fast because they know they can get homes for 50-70% of the fair market value just by scaring people. They buy these homes from sellers who think if they don't sell now they will lose everything, but if they sell quickly they can save a Realtors commission.
Now let's look at the reality … (2 comments)

What is an HOA? HOA stands for Home Owners Association.
