One strategy is to become more active in Facebook groups, which already engage 400 million of the social network’s 2.4 billion…

I’m always so happy to welcome new agent to The Cascade Team, but I will admit that this announcement has a very special place in my heart. Keenan was just 1 year old when I first got my real estate license, and now after all these years it’s a pleasure to announce that my son; Keenan Porter has passed his Broker’s exam!

Some people feel like they were born to do Real Estate, but in the case of Keenan… He was literally “Born” into Real Estate!

From the tender age of 2 Keenan’s dad (Cary Porter the Owner/Designated Broker of The Cascade Team) would bring Keenan to Open Houses with him. By the age of four Keenan was set up with “Free” lemonade stands in front of said open houses where he would direct people to go in and; “See his Dad”.

In today’s changing market, there’s more to a successful closing than just getting the offer accepted. Make sure you have an agent capable of guiding you from start to close!

The old school three p’s — “Plant a sign, Post on the MLS and Pray” — employed by some agents in hot markets, will not work as things begin to cool off. The adage, “You have a minute to sell your home,” beginning the moment a prospective buyer pulls up in front of a property, is no longer true.

That minute has become 10 seconds or less and happens on a buyer’s mobile device nowhere near the listing. If buyers do not like what they see, no amount of open house signs will get them into your listing — they will swipe left and move on.

This year’s market is not the same as…
