Zillow Gives 3D the VIP Treatment

3D is not just for big blockbusters like “Jurassic World” anymore – it’s one of the hottest new trends in real estate as well.

In a move that will likely be another boost to the use of technology in home sales, Zillow will soon let brokers link to 3D tours on their online listings. See The Cascade Team’s Sher Bowman Klug’s listing on Zillow here: http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/9421-Elm-Ave-SE-Snoqualmie-WA-98065/96654251_zpid/

It's Summer Vacation Time: So what are the animals that are most likely to kill you this summer?

It’s summer vacation time for my family and me, so as my wife Janet frets about sun screen, reservations for dinner, and how we’ll keep the kids entertained and still manage some alone time for ourselves my mind of course wonders to the big question of: What do I have the greatest chance of being bitten, eaten or killed by while I’m off enjoying a few days of relaxation?
