I’ve been a little remiss about my blogging duties this past week. Yet it has been a very magical wonderful week. For the first time in quite a while I got to spend time with all of my kids, grandkids, and our extended family. Everyone's in town for my granddaughter Tyfannie's wedding... We kicked off the wedding week with a BBQ in Kent on June 29th at Bev and Keith’s. My granddaughter Tyffanie and her fiance Wade Rogers were married on July 6th in Port Angeles.

Port Orchard Attic Bedrooms and the Mattress Solution I live in a 1941 Cape Cod Cottage style home.  I fell in love with its charm and old world character.  It was a “flip” back in 2006.  The home had only 2 owners, the family that built it and then the woman that lived in it from 1944 until 2006 when it was updated and sold.  The home is small looking from the outside but boasts a huge 2340 square feet on 3 different levels.   There is also a one car garage with shop area that isn’t included in the sq ft. The main level was most likely the only finished level when the home was built.  Luckily this home didn’t go through any remodels so the original home was just brought back to shiny with the flip.  The main level still boasts the original floors, hand-plastered walls, and window space...

Have you ever sold a car before? You wanted to make sure that you received the best possible price along with a quick sale, right? What did you do to find that information out? You did some research. I bet you went to the Kelly Blue Book site and entered in your cars information and bam you had a figure based on the information you entered.   Of course you can do that today with internet sites such as Zillow and Trulia, but how accurate are these sites? They are only as accurate as the information that has been plugged into them. At their best they are still "guesstimates". Do you want to "guess" at the selling price of your home? NO! You must contact a local real estate broker who is familiar in the market your home is located in. Remember that all markets are local and the best way to...
