It’s been quite a year…
4/8/2010 4:01 PM
200 9. That was a year full of challenges and changes. I stopped blogging about this time last year as it became apparent that I could no longer anticipate with any degree of accuracy what would occur next. Anticipating what real estate and financial markets will do is an important service that I provide to [...]...Read More
 
The Fixx (not the band)
2/9/2009 11:00 AM
An idea came to me yesterday while reading and listening to various opinions and objections regarding the stimulus package. It seems there is a consensus of concern about how to use the money to make the most immediate positive impact on the economy. How do we get it into the system WITHOUT the banks snagging [...]...Read More
 
OUR FUTURE BANKERS
1/26/2009 11:48 PM
Here they are, our State Representatives. “The Cop”, “The Mom in Tennis Shoes”, and “Whatever, I Need to Work Somewhere”. I’ve tried to locate the email addresses for these folks on-line to no avail. What they offer is a form on their respective pages to be filled out, along with a message, and sent into [....Read More
 
Damn Banks or…..Why Is it Taking So Long To Recover?
1/6/2009 8:51 PM
How do banks make money? They make loans. What if they don’t make loans? They sit on the money they have. What if they don’t have money to sit on? They threaten to fail and the Federal Government gives them money to sit on OR they “arrange” a managed failure with the help of the [...]...Read More
 
Happy New Year 2009
1/5/2009 4:50 PM
 So arrives another new year. Live your life! As 2008 closed out amidst concern, if not angst, over the economic turmoil that has consumed our collective national consciousness, I am perplexed. Is it the power of the media that has us running for cover….because it tells us to? Granted, major financial institutions and auto manufacturers ...Read More
 
Diana Moves Her License to Prudential NW Real Estate
8/26/2008 4:09 PM
  Diana moved to Prudential a few months ago. Why? Well, as many of you know, Diana’s specialty par excellence is relocation. It is a strength at Prudential, a national company. Not quite so at Windermere, a regional company. But as Diana has been indoctrinated into the Prudential system, we’ve been introduced to some surprisingly ...Read More
 
2012: Welcome to Al-Qaidastan
8/26/2008 2:18 PM
One of our greatest concerns regarding Al-Quaida is that they find a way to obtain a nuclear weapon. I submit that perhaps our concerns have been misdirected, as I believe that our gravest threat is that within a few short years, waaay before Iran develops a nuclear weapon, Al-Quaida will obtain a nuclear country i.e., [...]...Read More
 
Federal Way Sign Ordinance: Not Rocket Science
8/26/2008 1:55 PM
I’ll be brief: Real estate open house signs are a time honored tradition. The regulation thereof should be simple and straightforward. Her is how I would propose that any municipal and/or county sign ordinance should read. Open house signs shall be no larger than 24″ by 24″; Said signs shall bear the name of the [...]...Read More
 
Seller Responsibility: Clean the House and Take Your Junk!
8/18/2008 3:52 PM
 What is it with Sellers that think it is OK to leave all kinds of garbage behind for their Buyers to deal with? We’ve seen it all, from engine blocks to garbage bags filled with used diapers. A favorite is old paint cans with colors that haven’t been used in the house in 20 years, [...]...Read More
 
The More I Learn, The Less I know…..
8/11/2008 12:39 PM
As if things weren’t strange enough, the subscription service that brought you Monday Morning Coffee for the last few years ceased operations in June. Since then I have been musing as to what to do for the many subscribers that have enjoyed those weekly snippets of wisdom. A dear long time friend and client jarred me [...]...Read More
