Western White House in Pasco, WA
Posted on Oct 29, 2008 by Cari McGee in Pasco Real Estate
I was previewing properties in Pasco the other day and I spotted the perfect spot for Tuesday’s Presidential election winner to build vacation quarters. Because even if Obama wins, it would be a great ironic twist, don’t you think? There are 11 lots available at the site, 1/2 acre each, so that means the Pres. [...]

Lots of local stuff this week – This came out on Thursday – TRI-CITIES, Wash. A real estate developer accused of bilking Tri-City residents out of hundreds of thousands of dollars in deals involving property foreclosures has been charged with theft.

Heather is an agent at our office who is 36 weeks pregnant. She proudly announced to me and another agent how far along she was this morning. I volunteered (as moms will do, which is how birth stories get relayed), “My son came at 36 and 1/2 weeks! You could have her at any time!” [...]

On Wednesday of last week, I was able to do a walk-through of a new home with a buyer that I have come to really enjoy spending time with. She’s a Christian, like me, and she’s older and has raised four wonderful children into adulthood. I love the perspective she provides – a sort of [...]

We’re less than a month away from the presidential election, so I thought it was fun when I spotted this on Zillow this week, the homes of some of our presidents.

I had lunch with a friend on Thursday and we were talking about the economy (during our 90 minute lunch, the Dow dropped 500 points!). We both came to real estate from different careers, so if our local market’s bottom dropped out, we were discussing what else we could do. My friend is a tad [...]
September '08 Stats
Posted on Oct 10, 2008 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities Market
This month we’re going to take a glance at the upper-end market. I was perusing the September numbers for homes over $500,000. A total of three sold, zero went under contract, and there were 139 listings available. For the Tri-Cities, that seemed like an incredible amount of upper-end possibilities! I did some more research, and [...]
Pre-Approval, please
Posted on Oct 8, 2008 by Cari McGee in Buyers
The pre-approval letter has always been an integral part of the presentation of an offer. The pre-approval letter is, as its name suggests, a letter, usually addressed To Whom it May Concern, which states that the people hoping to buy a house have talked to a lender and the lender thinks, to the best of [...]
