My husband and I went through this class and learned so much.  I wish we would have taken this years ago.  I look at all my purchased differently and I help people buy houses differently.  It is more about being patient and waiting for the right deal for them and talking to people about 15 year m...

   Well on Jan 24th, 2009 I had 7 couples through my open house and I just got a call from one of them and they are thinking of writing an offer!  Does this mean things are turning around, no probably not, but Canby seems to be having more activity than other areas in the Portland area.     The s...
