Happy Halloween
Posted on Oct 31, 2007 by Cari McGee in Buyers, Sellers, West Richland Real Estate
My son’s idea of Hell is dressing up as someone he is not and asking strangers for candy. My daughter’s idea of Heaven is the same thing. Daughter and I went out and trick-or-treated almost to exhaustion. We saw tons of people I knew and some kids from her class at school – glassy-eyed and [...]
Are You’re Spending Too Much in Rent in Tri-Cities, WA (or not enough)?
Posted on Oct 30, 2007 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities Market
This is just about the coolest tool going. Type in your address, type in your rent, and see if you’re paying too much, just about right, or too little for your area. http://www.rentometer.com/ Now sometimes, of course a higher rent will be justified by condition of the place, just like there might be a very [...]
True in Any Real Estate Market

My brothers used to threaten to burn my Little House books when I picked up Little Town on the Prairie to read for the twenty-third time. One brother drew body parts on my Raggedy Ann doll. The same brother would tie my Fisher Price Little People to paper napkins acting as some sort of parachute contraption and [...]

At William Wiley Elementary in West Richland, WA, they have an annual food drive. Two years ago, the Apple Cup Canned Food Battle began.

Posted on Oct 20, 2007 by Cari McGee in Real Estate Career
In the sixth grade, I sat next to a boy named David Jackson. David had dark red hair and freckles and I remember thinking he was cute. David was also smart (hey, I’ve always been a sucker for a guy with a high IQ). In our class, you were allowed to wander over to the library/game [...]
Tri-Cities, WA Real Estate September Stats
Posted on Oct 14, 2007 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities Market
Okay, now don’t get all excited, Sellers, and don’t worry unnecessarily, Buyers, BUT…in September we saw a trend toward a seller’s market. Inventory is dropping, while demand is remaining the same (or even increasing due to the resumption of work at the vit plant) and so when demand outpaces supply, you see an increase in [...]

I showed a house last week and then again this past weekend. It’s a rambler with four bedrooms, very nice floor plan, wonderful view from the living room picture window and a HUGE backyard (the lot is 6/10 of an acre). It is located in a golf course community and they are asking LESS THAN [...]
Marketing in Tri-Cities, WA
Posted on Oct 5, 2007 by Cari McGee in Buyers, Real Estate Industry, Sellers, Tri-Cities Market, Washington
First, a little about me. I’m not a coffee drinker, so instead of stopping at Espresso World on the way into work for a carmelly-coffee thing, I run by McDonald’s and get a large diet Coke with extra ice. Our local McDonalds’ offered an a la carte large soft drink for 89 cents. With tax it [...]
