Tips from The Cascade Team Agents

Sixty-nine percent of consumers recently admitting to having a “home crush”—a property they liked so much they were drawn back to looking at it more than once online or in person, according to a new realtor.com® survey of 1,000 consumers. But men and women respond quite differently to these crushes, according to the survey.

For example, the survey found that women are more likely than men to have a crush on a home that was out of their financial league. Forty-one percent of women revealed their home crush is out of their price range, compared to only 30 percent of men who said the same.

Men were more likely than women to move from one home crush to another. Thirty-six percent of men surveyed say they find a new house crush weekly, compared to…

Drones have stirred up quite a buzz in the real estate marketing world, but there have been a lot of unanswered questions regarding how they can be used. That is until recently, when the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released a twenty-six-page docket that grants Real Estate Brokers the right to use drones on a case-by-case basis.

In order to legally use one of these unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for commercial purposes, you must have the expressed permission of the FAA. As of January 2015, only 12 out of the 214 commercial entities that have applied for one of these exemptions have been approved. 

What does the FAA consider as “commercial use”? According to knowbeforeyoufly.org, a website dedicated to providing consumers with insight…

Forty-seven years ago, McDonald’s introduced the Big Mac, which remains one of the most visible top-selling products in the fast-food industry today. The 1970s-era jingle that accompanied McDonald’s commercials paid homage to the ingredients that made the Big Mac a hit: “Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun.”

Each one of the Big Mac ingredients serves a very specific purpose in building the perfect burger. So, think of your real estate business as an entrepreneurial analogue to this iconic sandwich: Do you have all the right ingredients?

So how can all of us at The Cascade Team build a business using the same winning formula McDonald’s used to create the Big Mac?

Have you found the house of your dreams yet? If you've found a property you love, you now need to decide how much you're willing to offer. You want to be conservative enough that you get a good deal, but you don't want to bid so low that you risk losing the house.

Super Bowl XLIX has come down to a tale of two coasts: East versus West, colonials versus pioneers, old world versus new. What’s the lowdown on the two cities duking it out on the gridiron? Why do Seattleites and Bostonians consider their town such a great place to live? What’s it like to live there? Most importantly, what signature food might Seahawks and Patriots fans snack on during the big game?

Seattle

Portal to the Pacific and gateway to the last frontier, Seattle has a lot more going on than coffee, technology and rain.

“There’s something for everyone here,” : “Hiking trails, skiing, craft beer breweries, nightlife, airshows, hydroplane races and…
