Where is everybody coming from?
Posted on Jan 31, 2007 by Cari McGee in Buyers, Sellers, Tri-Cities Market, Tri-Cities, WA
I am asked this question a lot. I’m asked it most often by people who have spent most of their lives in the Tri-Cities, and they don’t understand why we’ve suddenly been ‘discovered’. There is so much development going on, and we still have land readily available, no wonder people are moving here. We had a net [...]
Tri-Cities, WA becomes Onecity, WA?
Posted on Jan 27, 2007 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities, WA
In today’s Tri-City Herald, I read that they’re soliciting opinions about consolidating the Tri-Cities into one. Apparently, the last time it was considered was about 20 years ago, which was before my time here. I wonder what everyone thought of it then? What would it be like if we were one big city? Where would [...]
Buying and Selling Homes in the Tri-Cities, not in Boston, thank you very much.
Posted on Jan 25, 2007 by Cari McGee in Buyers, Sellers, Tri-Cities Market
Aaaaaaargh! It happens every time. Every time a newspaper prints an article or television reports a story about the time to buy is NOW, because the market is IN THE TOILET and sellers are SCARED and can’t compete with new builders and their DRASTIC DISCOUNTS, I am invariably called upon to write an offer significantly [...]
Is the FSBO leg still standing?
Posted on Jan 20, 2007 by Cari McGee in Real Estate Career, Real Estate Industry, Tri-Cities Market
I’ve got a question for other agents and brokers. The expired and for sale by owner tactic used to be something we always covered. But is that the case anymore? I was super busy this week, covering for others and managing my own business. I like to spend the morning doing my technology stuff…reading blogs, posting comments, [...]

One of my favorite agents at the brokerage is a guy named Lee. Lee has been in the business for longer than I’ve been alive, I think (actually, I’m employing hyperbole there). But he’s pretty old and has been selling real estate for a loooong time. He stopped by my office the other day to [...]

The more things change…
Posted on Jan 10, 2007 by Cari McGee in Real Estate Career
I recently read the following letter in a business advice column; “I had an interview for a job and I did really well until this question, ‘What do you know about our company?’ I answered truthfully (not a whole lot!) but I have never been asked this question before, so I was unprepared. It was [...]
Oh, come on…get it done already, would ya?
Posted on Jan 7, 2007 by Cari McGee in Real Estate Career, Real Estate Industry
Wouldn’t you rather get it done with a couple roadblocks, than not get it done and have an easy time? I have said this a million time before and I’ll probably say it a million more, but if I could handle every element of the transaction from start to finish, I would. If I could [...]
