Cruise Ship Condos
Condominiums have been a popular seller here in Leavenworth and in Kahler Glen for some time. There are even four new condo projects being built here as I type. I just read that about a new cruise ship, Magellan that will be selling on board “condos.” The ship is at sea year round visiting exotic ports and units are priced between $1.8 million to …
Office Exclusive Listings
As many of you know, we are generally in a “sellers” market in the Leavenworth area. There are very few homes on the market and little for a buyer to choose from. Real estate is very competitive here in our little valley and agents and real estate companies are trying new tactics to protect their business. One such tactic being used is “Office Exclusive” …
Rain City Guide : Real Estate Blog
I was doing a little surfing to see what other real estate blogs are doing these days and ran into this http://www.raincityguide.com/2006/02/27/8-common-mistakes-made-by-real-estate-bloggers/ Wow! That really educated me. I’m guilty of so much. I have been using this blog as a marketing tool not really as a journal or weblog. The question really is can I spend enough time working on the blog to keep …
Mandatory Zillow Discussion
Will Zillow revolutionize the real estate industry? That’s the question that seems to have surpassed all the bubble babble these past few months.

The Stats are In- My Clients Make Money!!

Should you list this Fall?
Homeowners often tell me they are thinking of listing their house in the Spring. Why wait? Right now there are lots of frustrated buyers who tried to find something this summer, but couldn’t. There’s not many options for buyers, so sellers can get top dollar for their property. There will be lots of competition come Spring. Don’t wait for the crowds, call me to …
Multiple Offers
This is a hot market and I am finding myself representing clients in multiple offer situations more and more. I can think of 7 instances recently where this occured. Only once has my client not received the property they were hoping for. As a buyer, you should be prepared to act quickly and decisively. Get pre-approved from your lender before you start looking. If …
