Hawkeye and that was how I got this picture! This hawk was sitting way up high off the freeway coming back from Hillsboro Oregon about 90 minutes from Fishhawk Lake, just hanging out and I pulled over right off an entrance, and grabbed my 35-250mm zoom lens. He was incredibly far away, but I tried.  I was SO EXCITED to find out how clearly this came out! Isn't he majestic and powerful?? Look at that fierce "hawk eye"! This handsome fella is a Red-Tailed Hawk and I see them while I'm zooming by on the freeway heading to Hillsboro Oregon, but never have my camera or the time to pull over and get a shot. They don't usually sit long enough for me to get a decent photo.

Intel Jobs in Oregon- Make a GREAT move! Intel is Oregon's largest high tech employer and is growing! As an Intel Real estate agent specialist I help many home buyers move to the area every year because they were relocated to work at Intel. I'm also a proud Intel wife, as my husband is an engineer at Intel, and he loves working there. We feel grateful for the opportunity. My husband, like many Intel employees, is not originally from Oregon. He was recruited by Intel from Florida after school and has been there since. With over 20,000 employees in Washington county, Intel makes a big economic "impression" on our area. Located mostly out of Hillsboro, but also located in Aloha/Beaverton area. Intel has several campuses throughout the West side of town. Looking for Intel Jobs in Oregon, pr...

If you are interested in buying a home within the West Union Elementary School boundaries, then you have come to the right place. West Union Elementary School has some rich history in the Hillsboro area with being the first school built in the district. Now, the present building isn’t the original school, it is actually the 3rd school named West Union Elementary opening its doors in 1948. But, the original school, the first one that opened the school district in Washington County was built very close to the present location in 1852 and opening its doors to students in October of that same year. Now West Union Elementary School is not built with a lot of homes around it, but rather looks very similar to what it did in 1852 being surrounded by rich farm land on all sides. There is a lot ...

  Main Street Bridge, Hillsboro, OR The Main Street Bridge in Hillsboro was built in 1997 for the Max line. Located at 18th Street and Main Street, I drove under this bridge while heading from Hillsboro to Newberg the back way over the mountain. Wow, was that a nice drive! Sometimes you just come upon some things and back roads that are so nice, you wonder how you've never heard of them before. Thank goodness, I DID have my camera with me...and no one was behind me so I was able to slow down and take this shot.       Past Where is it Wednesdays: Marylhurst University, answer to Where is it Wednesday...somewhere in Marylhurst, OR. 1/4/12  Portland Aerial Tram, answer to Where is it Wednesday...somewhere in Portland, OR. 12/28/11  Argyle Square, answer to Where is it Wednesday...somewhere...

Update:  This staged home SOLD in just 6 weeks! Our Portland home staging company recently worked with a wonderful family to help them prepare their home for sale.  In addition to staging this home, we also provided suggestions for easy cosmetic updates that were also cost-effective.  When you're selling a home in today's challenging market, why give buyers an excuse not to write an offer?  When buyers see outdated features and fixtures, it's too easy for them to walk away, and look for a home that's 'move in ready.' These sellers were open to painting the interior, which was needed to give the house a fresh, new energy, so we gave them  neutral paint colors that buyers love.  They'd already wisely decided to change out the carpeting.  We suggested a few new light fixtures in key places...

Sometimes the days of the week seem to just fly by and the last couple weeks that has been the case for me. Well, sometimes you get a quick wake up and today I got that while showing a home in Hillsboro last night. As we walked around this house, the house started to shake, and it got real loud, so we ran outside to see what all the noise was and as we looked up and the picture above is what we saw. It seems the weekend of the Hillsboro Air Show was upon us and the Patriot Air Team was flying over the house. I did enjoy the show, but getting back home was fun with all the traffic.
