My goodness, but I’m good looking!

I went to the dentist today, and I wrote out my name and address on the reminder postcard they’ll send me in 6 months to tell me my next appointment is coming up. When I do that for my kids, I always write The awesome and magnificent McGee children on the name line. So, today for [...]
Sunday Round-Up
Posted on Jan 27, 2008 by Cari McGee in Week That Was
I’m soo tired tonight. I think it’s because I stayed inside all day because it snowed all day. All day long. And the several inches of snow are on top of about a 1/2 inch of ice, so I didn’t drive anywhere. The hypnotic effect of snow falling has done its number on me. BUT, [...]
Writing Your Way to a Sale
Posted on Jan 21, 2008 by Cari McGee in Real Estate Industry, Sellers
It’s always driven me crazy when people write ‘motivated’ in an ad. Of COURSE they’re motivated, they wouldn’t be selling their house if they weren’t. Turns out putting motivated in the ad sells the home faster, but for less money, on average. I hesitate to use ‘beautiful’ in an ad, because it feels like an overused word. [...]
It’s the Sunday Round-up…

Need more money? Don’t we all? Here are some ideas to put more moula in your bank account. I think the first one is rather obvious, but the others are pretty good. When I worked for GTEL Billing (which was a subsidiary of GTE), in the early 90′s, my personal fear was someone’s complaint not getting [...]
Oodles of Googles
Posted on Jan 19, 2008 by Cari McGee in Real Estate Career
It is standard procedure when someone I don’t know contacts me via my web site or a floor call, to google them. I basically check to see if they have a criminal record or were mentioned in the paper for some nefarious reason. It’s not fail-safe, by any means. Another agent did the same thing and nothing negative [...]
Mariners’ Caravan drops by the Tri-Cities
Posted on Jan 16, 2008 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities, WA, Washington
I went with my 10-year-old son to the Mariner’s Caravan event at CBC last night. Pitchers Eric O’Flaherty and Mark Lowe answered questions and autographed everything handed to them. The Mariner Moose was there, too, in all his furry glory. Eric, who was born in Walla Walla, can remember going to events like this when he [...]

White Sales used to dominate the marketplace in January. As a holdover perhaps, it turns out that January is still a good month to buy bedding… When to Buy For the Best Deals This probably made its way to your local paper, too; it did mine Meanest Mom in the World Takes Care of Business!!! [...]
2007 END OF YEAR Stats for Tri-Cities, WA
Posted on Jan 11, 2008 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities Market
Fan. Tas. Tic. In the four main cities (Richland, Pasco, Kennewick and West Richland), we had our best year in the history of Tri-Cities Real Estate. If we include the surrounding areas, we had our second best year EVER! The average sales price went up as well, so the Tri-Cities, Washington, real estate market is [...]
