Yet the 'curb appeal' that could be a deal-maker or deal-breaker in your next real estate transaction might be as simple as 'curbing your own ego.' Curious?

Real estate isn't always predictable. Given changing conditions, language used to describe housing is rife with lingo from other industries that experience constantly shifting events—some catastrophic—like aviation. While housing is axiomatically 'grounded' compared to the aircraft industry, from time to time Oregon real estate market activity is described as akin to a 'bumpy recovery,' 'hard ride,' 'crash,' or 'soft landing.' This raises the question among those buying or selling a home of how real estate crashes are avoided and what does a 'soft landing' mean? Find out more in this insightful real estate podcast!

To adults and kids alike, superheroes seem to have a time-tested appeal. Some think it’s because they look different. Indeed, some superheroes dress uniquely.

Realtors must follow many rules and according to consumer satisfaction surveys, most agents do a good job. Realtors are trained to abide by applicable state and national real estate laws, follow accepted business practices and the Realtor code of ethics, which is considered a higher standard of duty. Yet as in other professions, sometimes agents fall short.

Wed, 07 Sep 2016 - 9min - 51 - The Art of War for Homesellers
It's helpful to realize that as a homeseller, you are in a 'war' of sorts. Is it an outright battle? Definitely not. And for anyone selling a home, it clearly helps to maintain a sense of politeness and grace when dealing with potential homebuyers. But we're about to look at the process of homeselling using the metaphor of homeselling as 'war.' Why would the concept of 'war' be appropriate to homeselling? To start, homesellers and homebuyers do not have identical goals. In fact, similar to armed conflict, they frequently have goals at direct odds with one another. You can call such business interaction 'give and take,' or 'financial combat,' or real estate 'tug-o-war.' Rather than use swords or heavy artillery, the tools used can be more subtle. Here, metaphorical weapons might include home inspectors, attorneys and a 'take no prisoners' attitude. The point is that there is conflict. But as with any good book or movie, sometimes it's conflict that keeps things interesting and move the process forward, while underscoring the value of what is being contested.

What are these variables and as an Oregon property buyer or seller, what is it that you may need to know? Find out in this edition of the Oregon Real Estate Podcast.
Fri, 05 Aug 2016 - 7min - 49 - 3 Questions Your Oregon Realtor Can’t Answer
When making the biggest financial decision of their lives, many homebuyers and homesellers understandably ask their Realtor to provide a professional opinion on a range of topics. Some common questions include if adding a bathroom will boost resale value, should wallpaper be removed, if re-painting will help, how long a home has been for sale, if sellers should leave when their home is being shown, or if a home shows better when 'staged.' These and many other questions are typically addressed with aplomb by an experienced Realtor. However, with other, less benign questions, agents are trained not only to be cautious, but simply refuse to answer them. Is it because the Realtor doesn't have an opinion? Maybe, but maybe not. Often the reason is because rules don't allow it. What are these rules that might gag an otherwise conversational, if not super-chatty (or at least engaging real estate agent) to go mum? Find out in this edition of the Oregon Real Estate Podcast.
Wed, 27 Jul 2016 - 9min - 48 - The Power of Oregon Seller Financing
While most Oregon homebuyers use traditional lenders like banks, mortgage brokers or credit unions, there are solid reasons (and a very helpful alternative) to purchase a home without them. Buyers avoid traditional lenders for a variety of factors and when they do, one mechanism they frequently turn to is known in our area as seller financing. What Is Seller Financing? Also called owner financing, seller terms, owner carry, seller carryback, or seller carry, seller financing allows a homebuyer to purchase a property by making an initial down payment, then making direct payments to the seller. While Oregon law has rules in place especially to regulate large-scale property sellers who handle a significant amount of seller-financed transactions (notably commercial firms, such as finance companies), the process still remains relatively simple for Oregon home buyers and sellers who enter into a home sale without using a traditional lender. The Basics-A key factor that helps to make seller financing an option is if a homeseller has either no loan, or a very small loan remaining on the property to be sold. Having little or no loan on the home being sold means that more of the buyer's down payment will go to the seller, and not diverted to the lender of a seller's existing home loan. Most home loans now have what's called a 'due on sale' clause, which means a seller's home loan must first be paid off upon the sale of a property. The single factor of having no or little loan balance on a property is often the single most limiting condition in determining if seller financing is an option. If the property has either no loan, or only a small loan remaining, this can really open the door to seller financing. Basic Tools-Several tools can be used to establish seller financing. In Oregon, these include either a trust deed and note, or a land sales contract. Here is a recent legal article outlining some differences between these two instruments for Oregon seller financing . Most common is the trust deed and note, which can be prepared by Oregon title companies/escrow firms. Less common is the land sales contract, which can usually be considerably more labor intensive and expensive, since in Oregon land sales contracts can only be drawn up by an attorney. What Makes Seller Financing so Powerful-Seller financing can be very powerful. How else to describe a form of financing that can: 1. Make an otherwise 'unsellable' property sellable, 2. Render an otherwise 'unqualified' buyer qualified, whilst escaping considerable loan fees, underwriting and requirements, like an appraisal. 3. Provide income to a home seller, with interest, all secured with the protection of a legal instrument in case of default 4. Allow a homebuyer the ability to purchase a home while selling a less liquid (hard to sell) asset, or re-building credit 5. Give both buyer and seller the flexibility to negotiate what works for them, rather than a bank's pre-determined, 'cookie-cutter' loan term, interest rate, or myriad of other conditions. Here are a few scenarios illustrating some of real life advantages of seller financing-Scenario #1 involves a house located in a large Oregon town with no foundation and a faulty roof. The property is otherwise attractive, yet routine lender guidelines require a foundation for residential properties. The seller begins to think his house is a 'lemon.' That is, until he learns that since he owns the property 'free and clear' with no loan, that he can sell the property directly to a buyer. A buyer who happens to be a contractor discovers the house and realizes he can put a roof on the house for the cost of materials, then hire foundation work far more cheaply than someone unlike him who is not in the building trades. An agreement is made. As a result, buyer and seller see the transaction as a 'win-win.' Scenario #2-involves a nice home located in a tiny Oregon town between the Willamette Valley and Oregon Coast. Given

Most residential real estate transactions are ultimately successful, meaning they actually 'close.' Such a 'happily ever after' scenario has sellers receiving their money and buyers, their new house. However, given the many steps along the way, many real estate transactions have a few 'bumps in the road.' Sometimes it's a home inspection defect. At other times it's a lendability issue, like an appraisal. Or maybe a legal or title issue, such as an unexpected lien or easement, like a highway or railroad right of way, or perhaps a faulty legal description. Successfully helping home buyers and sellers navigate through these kinds of transaction challenges is a Realtor's job. Many people are wondering...is the thought of a perfect real estate transaction fact...or fairy tale? Find out more, in this helpful Oregon real estate podcast episode.

A famous, oft-quoted movie line is 'You can't handle the truth.' Yet have you ever considered how that statement might relate to hiring a Realtor? In other words, since agents provide information to help your bottom line, are you truly interested in being informed with the truth, or might you prefer not to know? It's no surprise that some sellers and home buyers aren't always willing to deal with certain issues. Instead, they may choose willful ignorance, denial, or other avoidance techniques that are frequently only temporary. And the list of those possible challenges is endless. A myriad of issues can throw real estate transactions into seeming chaos. But by hiring a Realtor, you've got a real state problem solver on your team. A good real estate agent is like a Swiss army knife - very handy to have around in a variety of circumstances. But in seeking an honest real estate agent, be prepared for certain situations where the truth may hurt, at least in the short term.

Wed, 26 Sep 2018 - 14min - 36 - How Multiple Homebuyers Change Everything
When multiple buyers express interest in a property by each writing an offer, the balance of power has shifted substantially in favor of the seller. As a result of this decided shift, buyers typically become more competitive. Why? Because fear of loss can be a powerful motivator. And while it's possible for three, four, or even more buyers to compete for the same house, the principle is essentially the same, regardless of how many multiple buyers write an offer. Adding more buyers to the mix, however, does have a tendency to 'quicken' the pace. What can buyers do to lower the volume, lessen their own anxiety and reduce the frenzy without getting caught up in a multiple buyer scenario, all while making sure they don't miss out on the house of your dreams? Plus, what can sellers do to maximize their leverage in getting the best possible offer? And for both buyers and sellers, are there specific tips you can use to ensure you're 'in it to win it' for your next home purchase or sale?

How Color Affects Us-The affect of color on human emotion is well known. It's helpful to realize that buying a home can involve emotions, sometimes more than we might imagine. And because colors are all around us, sometimes we're not even aware of the impact. Yet did you know that different colors can even influence the taste of food we eat? Compounding the effect of color on Oregonians is our often gloomy Northwest weather, as the impact of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is well documented, plus the effects of color and light are frequently inter-related. As a prospective home seller, it's reasonable to expect certain colors to not only enhance your home's appearance from the outside, but make it appear more livable on the inside, too.

Wed, 28 Feb 2018 - 09min - 29 - Differences When Selling Country vs. City Homes
Given the many potential lifestyle differences among Oregonians, how about differences when selling a home? Oregonians have plenty of housing options. For many homebuyers, one main decision is whether to live in the country, or the city. If you're selling country property, it's important to realize that not everyone is a prime prospect for your home. That's because buyer considerations between country and city properties include trade-offs. Some of these trade-offs include commute time, convenience and affordability. It's true that home prices in general tend to become more affordable with added distance from the economic hub of cities. Yet even given a lower house price tag, with increased countryside commute times and what some see as rural inconveniences, there also tends to be a decrease in buyer demand. While many buyers speak longingly about having 'a place in the country,' the reality of change is just too overwhelming for some. So they stay in the city or suburbs. Does this mean country property sellers are doomed to the 'double whammy' of fewer buyers and a longer selling period? Isn't there a buyer for every property? And what about other aspects of the sale, like getting a loan, appraisal and inspections. Are those different for country transactions, too?

Working as a real estate agent can present some unusual situations. Here's one story you probably haven't heard before. It includes two mild mannered Realtors being deputized, or 'sworn in' on the spot, since the local, short-handed police force is about to commence a house eviction that turns out to be a bit more than routine. We'd been asked by our seller client to assist with the removal of squatters on her property and also make suggestions prior to our selling her home. As a result, we were told to meet police at the property to assist with access, so the house could be vacated. Little did we know that this visit would not only include providing access, but also our becoming temporary police officers! For more, listen to this interesting and true story.
