I'm happy about that!  I'm just about to leave the office after working almost all day.   There were counters to write an offer to write and calls to return.  I work best in my office and it's free floor time, I have always encouraged our agents to take advantage of that and they do many times.  ...

Last fall I started an email relationship with an overseas buyer.  It's been an extremely slow process but yesterday I got a signed contract back from him!  After checking the office for civilians I let loose with my celebratory war whoop (kind of a western thing).  I learned several useful facto...

 The whole house is nicely and reasonably done.  By that I mean the owner has updated it, made it function easily and comfortably but hasn't overdone it.  It has a big country kitchen with an eat in area - a large living room and 2 bedrooms up and 2 on the main floor.  Floor coverings and paint c...

 Today at noon i put my clients wife in my car add a sign for a listing, and drive to Huntington Oregon (it's on the Oregon Trail near the Snake River).  Then I'll drive about 17 miles N (mostly unpaved) along the Snake River which then will be Brownlee Reservoir, then I'll turn W and head up a d...

The home is almost new.  Three bedrooms 2 baths, ...

       Ontario Oregon is a "farming place with a city pace".  Old  slogan but it explains us pretty well.  We're on the border of Idaho and Oregon an hour NW of Boise.  This pretty home has been recently and tastefully remodeled. It sits on an acre and has a big shop and swimming pool.  Lots of t...

Treasure Valley is the name that the area between Boise/Nampa and the Oregon border county of Malheur has given itself.  I think I circumnavigated it today. We've had a chilly rainy spring sooo what would normally at this time of year be brownish is still green and blooming.  It is beautiful! I s...

It's 100% beautiful here today, an hour west of Boise Idaho.  My whole family is chomping at the bit to go mushroom hunting (morels).  You stoll through the forest on several no-tellum mountains and pick the pine-cone looking fungi.  Then you dip in flour, fry in butter and enjoy.  Or just fry in...
