(Ending 2008 and starting 2009 on a more personal note) Boy, 2008 was a rough year.  Not just on the real estate side.  That actually didn't start off too bad... though the end of the year didn't do too well.  Nope, this year has been tough on just about every level... especially for my family, a...

I'm a bit of a tech-geek. So, I decided I need to do a better job of using that interest to the benefit of my real estate business. On activerain, I'm not too unusual, but the average agent still has trouble logging on to their email.  I've been working on a bunch of different new areas lately. T...

Well, our company, CENTURY 21 North Homes, is closing its Monroe office, for the "season".  In this case, its the 'slow real estate market' season.  Most of the agents, including myself, will be joining the Snohomish office just up the road. Joining the two offices makes good sense in the current...

Ok. Its late and I can't sleep.  Why? Because of an email. I try not to get into religous or political beliefs when it comes to being an agent.  Again, today, I got an email from a real estate agent, where they are forwarding one of "those" emails.... you know... not just the usual spam like pict...

Every Halloween, the merchants in Duvall host Trick-or-Treating throughout downtown.  Even with construction of Main Street in progress, this year will be no different.  There are plenty of merchants to come visit and many go all-out.  In particular, check out Duvall Main Street Laundry at 15820 ...

Thanks everyone who came to the class!  It was great to have a good turnout, especially since the school said we only had 3 people signed up. If you would like to download the slides from the class, you can find them here on my jasonhershey.net website. I also want to say "Thanks" for the feedbac...

Selling business opportunities can be tough work for both sellers and their agents. Statistics suggest that less than 1/4 of all businesses that get listed actually sell.  And, the statistics for closed transactions really are not much better. A cynic might suggest that one of the main reasons fo...
