How to Find a Job in the Tri-Cities
Posted on Jul 20, 2010 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities, WA
Matt has a friend who lives in the southwest U.S. and has been basically looking for a job there for the better part of two years. He’s been doing some contract work here and there to make ends meet, but permanent work has been hard to find with the economy being what it’s been for [...]
A Slice of Life in Benton City
Posted on Jul 6, 2010 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities, WA
If we had a Benton City Blog, I’d post this there. A Facebook post from a Benton City resident so accurately depicts life in that small town that I felt the need to share it – The funniest part of last night is when we were driving away we actually saw a family with their [...]
A Wonderful Life in South Richland
Posted on Jul 2, 2010 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities, WA
Have you ever seen It’s a Wonderful Life? It’s a movie made in 1946. Jimmy Stewart plays the role of the main character, George Bailey. It’s often shown several times on different channels around Christmas-time, which is appropriate as the final scene takes place on Christmas Eve. If you’ve never seen the movie but think [...]
Moving in and Out of Tri-Cities, WA
Posted on Jun 22, 2010 by Cari McGee in Kennewick Real Estate, Richland Real Estate, Tri-Cities, WA
It’s always fun when two or more seemingly disparate parts of me find something they can enjoy together. For example, this info combines my love of real estate, statistics and migration trends. This map is fascinating. You click on a county and you find where the people moved to when they left, or where the [...]
Community Service Day
Posted on Jun 21, 2010 by Cari McGee in Real Estate Career, Tri-Cities, WA
I love being a part of Windermere Real Estate. Perhaps my favorite part of being a Realtor here is Community Service Day. There’s always a lot of grumbling, at least on my part, in the days leading up to it. I think about past projects and the year we had way too much to do [...]
Tri-Cities Apartment Vacancy Rates Hover at 2%
Posted on Jun 17, 2010 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities Market, Tri-Cities, WA
That’s right, the rentals are 98-99% occupied. So, for every 100 rental properties, only one or two are available for people to live in because the rest already have people living there. This is a big problem for anyone looking to rent and not buy. As I detail in this post from almost a year [...]
Apartment Crime in the Tri-Cities
Posted on Jun 16, 2010 by Cari McGee in Buyers, Tri-Cities, WA
KEPR-TV recently did a story on apartment crime stats in the Tri-Cities. Even though I sell houses, and don’t deal in apartment or housing rentals, I’m including the link here because it’s got some good information. As a Realtor, I can’t tell anyone where they should or shouldn’t live. I can’t tell you about the [...]
Tri-Cities: It’s Our Ship
Posted on Jun 8, 2010 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities, WA
I’ve heard before that soup kitchens and Gospel Missions and charities, etc., are besieged with help around the holidays. This is probably because in the season of peace and goodwill, people feel anxious to share their good fortune. As long as they’re buying a doll for their daughter, they’ll buy another for a child who [...]
