This home is no longer for sale, usually when a listing is canceled it is an unhappy reason, but this time, the home owner got to keep her home.  Yes we worked hard to sell it, yes my client who processes the short sales worked and did not get paid, but it just feels so good to know that a family will be able to keep their home and we were part of it.... With out my client working with the bank, the home would have gone to auction, and because of the short sale negotiations the same deal we could have sold for was able to be passed on to the home owner.  This is a time where it is WONDERFUL that the property is not our listing anymore. ---     Below is the original post we had up while this home was for sale..........                   Beautiful fully remodeled Victorian home on the nor...

Last year after school my if I had to work with my kids along and would not be home for a while I would have 3 starving kids in the back of my truck.  As difficult as it can be to work with 3 kids along, it is impossible if they are also hungry and tired.  Frisko Freeze could not solve the tired, but often was on fast solution to the hungry part.  Plus it is an adventure to eat sitting in the bed of a truck or on the tail gate which is what we did.  I found it a fun time to sit and talk with them and a time when they usually managed to get along as well.     Frisko Freeze, an institution for everyone who lives, works or goes to school down town, in New Tacoma or the North Slope.   The food is typical American burgers, shakes, chicken strips, fries and such.  The service is fast and the ...

This house is on the North Slope, it has not just huge amounts of squarefootage. (over 3500 sf!) but also a huge huge garage with a separate address.  It is located near everything and in a very desirable neighborhood. We have had calls asking what is wrong with it since the price is SO LOW and it was listed in the $700K range a year ago.  Well first that price was over priced even then.  2ndly there are some issues with the house.  You will have to choose your own appliances, since the house no longer has any of it's own.  It also has a hot tub that is non working and needs to be removed.      The home is a possible short sale where the bank will take less for the home than what is owed on it, so a good opportunity for you! What is right with it?  Great floor plan, open light feeling,...
