I want to let the AR world know that I have completed the very exciting, but long two day course to become a Certified Distressed Property Expert and now have my new designation. If any of you agents have not taken this course I strongly recommend it. I thought I knew everything there was to know about short sales and foreclosures. What I learned was that I knew nothing, or at least the info I had wasn't correct. A few of the things I learned was that just because a home owner is in Pre-foreclosure or foreclosure that it is not too late to try and help that home owner. They can possibly still try and sell their home as a short sale. Foreclosure is NOT the best way for a homeowner to get out of the situation they are in. Having a foreclosure on their history is permanent. It never goes a...

I check my facebook tonight and a friend of mine posts on my wall, "We need to talk soon :)" I of course start wondering what could it possibly be. She is a photographer and she wanted my opinion on an idea that she has to expand her photography business. I know that these business's exist now, but I haven't seen too many agents actually use them. I can almost say for everyone that the reason why we don't pay for these services is because of an extra cost. I want your help! She wanted my opinion on pricing and what us agents would like for this service. She would offer pictures, virtual tours, and video tours. She really wants an honest opinion about this service. Would you use it? How much would you pay for this service? I had suggested that instead of having a flat fee that maybe she ...

As the market is turning around ever so slowly we all need to keep in mind that there are still quite a few property owners who are facing foreclosure. They need our help... I highly recommend that if you are willing to put in the extra effort to work with distressed property owners, find and take the CDPE course... We all need to have as many of the correct tools to do our job. Good Selling! Doug

Gig Harbor, WA Homes Sold during April 2010 (thus far) The home buyer tax credit is about to run out the end of April (in two weeks), so I was curious how single family home sales in Gig Harbor have been going thus far in April. I ran the numbers on the Northwest Multiple Listing Service and found there have been 32 offers made on homes in Gig Harbor thus far in the first two weeks of April (this does not include across the Purdy spit on the Key Peninsula, which also has a Gig Harbor zip code). The majority of them are in the less than $500,000 price range, but there are a handful in the $500k-$600k price range and even one waterfront home on Horsehead Bay listed at a whopping $3,495,000 - I'll be curious to see what that sells at when the transaction closes.  There are 578 listings of...

Best Buy Home in Gig Harbor, WA Well, since our last Best Buy recomendation on our website Healthcarehomebuyer.com for homes in Gig Harbor, WA is now pending, I guess someone else also felt it was a pretty good deal as far as real estate in Gig Harbor goes.  The last home was a 3651 square foot home priced at $499,900, so this time our best buy recommendation for a Gig Harbor home will be a more moderately priced home that would be ideal for the first time home buyer to take advantage of the first time homebuyer tax credit before it expires the end of April.  This week's best buy pick for Gig Harbor real estate is a 1974 built one story home with a daylight basement, 3 bedrooms, 1 3/4 baths, 2112 square foot on .26 acres located at 7601 35th St NW, Gig Harbor, WA 98335, MLS number 52858...
