If you commit any of these offenses, then it's no wonder clients will pass you by.
April 2015 | By Leigh Brown

I recently saw a Facebook post from a real estate agent mentioning that a consumer looked at 250 houses with eight different practitioners before finally making a purchase. You should have seen the comments on that post. You’d think that wretched consumer should be burned at the stake! What heresy! How dare a consumer waste professionals’ time like that!

Excuse me. Why is everyone so sure the consumer is the bad guy here?

The story of a teenage girl and her mysterious vampire lover transformed the small town of Forks, Washington, into an international tourist destination seemingly overnight. 

Forks is famously the setting for the Stefanie Myers' "Twilight" book series, in which protagonist Bella Swan moves to the town and falls in love with a 104-year-old vampire named Edward Cullen. Now, Bella's "real" home in Forks is for sale, and you can own a place that has become a tourist destination for many.

Help Us Brighten A Child's Life!

For the 10th year, The Cascade Team is once again hosting Project Crayon Drive this April!  For the young who find themselves at Seattle Children’s Hospital, sometimes the simple things like a coloring book and a few crayons can be as soothing as the trained staff and smiling doctors. Yet, something as simple as crayons often goes overlooked. Each year, Children’s Hospital goes through over 240,000 crayons, but each child only gets a couple to use.

KIRKLAND, Washington (April 6, 2015) – Buyer anxiety is rising as the pace of home sales is faster than brokers are able to replenish inventory, according to members of Northwest Multiple Listing Service.
