I have to admit that when I have a fix-it problem around the house, my never-fail tip is to call the handyman. But for those of you without a handyman’s # on your cell, or a husband like mine is awesome on a lot of levels, but home repair is not his milieu, then check [...]
Sorrow in the Tri-Cities
Posted on Nov 28, 2007 by Cari McGee in Miscellaneous, Tri-Cities, WA, West Richland Real Estate
We lose people everyday. It would be great if no one under 75 knew a contemporary who died, but unfortunately, they do.

I used to work in retail. Every year at this time I would work from sun up to way beyond sunset. I’d lose weight (yay!) and lose sleep (boo!) and generally grit my teeth and make it through this 4-5 week period at the end of the year. But now I make it a tradition to [...]

Posted on Nov 9, 2007 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities Market
Sometimes I feel like only the agents at our brokerage understand the market. Agents who work elsewhere groan and moan about the downturn in the market. Take a look – we are on track to meet or beat 2005 total sales, and 2005 was our best year ever in the Tri-Cities. In the Tri-Cities, it’s [...]

Posted on Nov 8, 2007 by Cari McGee in Miscellaneous, West Richland Real Estate
There is a child who was my son’s classmate at school this year. He attended for about a week, then went on a trip to DisneyWorld with his family. He came back to school after that, for one day. He had had a persistent cough in December of ’06. His parents took him to the [...]
