Good Morning All....Unfortunately we have yet ANOTHER SCAM in addition to the Craig's List Scam circling around the country. I honestly don't think a Realtor® in my Pullman Washington or Moscow Idaho market would fall for such a scam.  But a For Sale By Owner Seller might, especially in a large and hungry market. In a nut shell a foreign client contacts YOU DIRECTLY to purchase a home.  They contract for the home....They send earnest money to the title company....then of course, cancel the transaction.   It seems silly to me to see anyone fall for this, but I guess they have.  And the FBI has sent out a warning to Realtors® to let them know. Is it REAL?  Well, I had this contact on my website this AM.... The following user has submitted a contact-request from your website @ http://www.m... 08/05/2010

I have been really busy of late with our Pullman Washington Real Estate market. Even now with the tax credit over and the market winding down I have found myself to be comfortably busy.   It is late at night and I find myself looking at a wonderful picture of the Pacific Ocean that I took recently.   As I looked at it caused me to realize the importance of balance.  Life gets hectic.  Works gets hectic too.  We must find our own sense of balance to keep centered in life.  I have put this picture on my screen saver as a reminder.   I guess Gary Woltal has made an impact on me...bless you Gary.   We must take the time to enjoy life and the wonderful beauty that surrounds us in our daily lives. I am rather landlocked here in Pullman.  Until recently, I had not enjoyed the ocean with all i... 08/02/2010

The Lentil Festival is always a welcome event for Pullman.  Folks come from all around both Washington & Idaho to enjoy the festivities.  And the students coming back to WSU love attending.   All the festivities begin Friday August 20, 2010.  From 5-10 PM is the street fair with our big bowl of Lentil Chili.  Believe me...you have never seen as big of a pot of chili as this one!  I am hoping to be in our booth for Beasley that evening.  Do stop by and say Hi!  From 5-11 P.M. there will be a micro brew tasting...sound good?

      Looking for a new home in a new town like my own hometown in  Pullman  is always a daunting one for sure.  For some, it is even their first experience in the State of Washington.  Lots of folks come to Pullman, either coming to work or go to school at WSU, to work at Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, or Pullman Memorial Hospital. As a big  fan  of Pullman, I find it most enjoyable not only to assist my clients as a Realtor®  but also to do what I can do to help them settle into our great community.   Here are a few tips to help if you are relocating that I believe you will find useful. 1.  Find a Realtor® who is willing to spend time working with you prior to your trip.  I know that I spend a great deal of time as the eyes and ears of my clients to help them make the most of t... 07/31/2010

    Yesterday just made my day!  What was it you might ask?  It was all about client relationships.  And that tells you that you must be doing something very right.   I was told when I started this business, just build good client relationships. That not only sounded like sage advice but it also fit Who I am.   When I entered into this field, I never entered into for sales,  it was always about helping folks.  It is my passion.  Don't get me wrong...of course I need to make a living.  But high sales are not my priority. I  live on a quiet cul-de-sac.  So really the only folks we see live in the neighborhood for the most part.  It was a hot summer evening so I had my windows and curtains wide open.  I was sitting in front of my computer madly trying to find a home for some folks relocat... 07/29/2010

Tips for House Hunting in Pullman!     Our market place in Pullman Washington continues to be relatively active.  I am still out showing homes in Pullman, and that is always a great thing.  Folks are still moving within Pullman, and new folks are coming to Pullman as well. As summer is in full swing, it can be hot when looking at homes.  Here are a few tips that might be helpful for you if you are going out to tour homes.  Let's break them down into two categories, before you look and the actual big day!       Before We  Look ~   Do your homework before we look.  I know, we all hate homework, but really we need to do it for our own benefit!. Here are two things you can do to ease the process.     Contact your lender ~  That pre-approval letter is so very important.  It tells us what pri... 07/28/2010

      Living in Pullman, I love to find things to do in Washington that are not too far from home.  A about an hour away is beautiful Rock Lake.  It is a beautiful drive from Pullman and I enjoy the ride as well as the destination.  I enjoy seeing the changing scenery of the beautiful rolling hills of the Palouse that makes Whitman County unique.       Rock Lake is a favorite fishing spot.  I know my husband loves to take his fishing gear and fish.  The lake has some wonderful rather large brown trout.  It is also as a great spot for a picnic or just a place to relax.         The formation of the rock bluffs surrounding this very deep lake also make a great backdrop for beautiful pictures as well.  Here is a picture I took on my last visit.                 Oops!  How did that get in he... 07/24/2010

Today is going to be a hot one.  According to my Facebook Fan Page it will be about 80 degrees in Pullman Washington.  What a great day to go swimming!   I grew up in the Lewiston Clarkston Valley.  And swimming was a part of the way to beat the heat for sure.  Pools and trips to the beach were a great escape from the heat. In Pullman we don't have the blistering heat that often tops the 100 degree range.  We tend to run about 10 degrees cooler. So we are often in the 80's or 90's.  And our Fall and Spring  are cooler.   Hurrah for Pullman!  We have both an indoor pool and an outdoor pool.  So swimming is enjoyed year round for us!  With the weather so great today a trip to Reaney Park just might be in order.  You can take in some rays and beat the heat at our Reaney Park Pool.  Or mayb... 07/23/2010

Living in Pullman, I am always amazed at wonderful places that are nearby that we can enjoy in both Washington and Idaho within just a few mintues drive.   I have many favorite places that I like to go.  I was raised in the Lewiston Clarkston Valley which borders both Washington and Idaho, as does Pullman and Moscow.   So being born and raised in Lewiston and Clarkston, both the Clearwater River and the Snake River flowing against the majestic bluffs remind me of home.  They always take me back to a wonderful time in my life growing up.  And I love the feel of the warm breeze that blows up the canyon in Summer.   Please enjoy this picture that I took on one of those recent afternoons when we grabbed the picnic basket and the camera!  And if you haven't explored Washington & Idaho I woul... 07/21/2010

The weather is fine in Pullman today!  Lovely mid 80 degree temperatures are providing a great backdrop for Pullman's Crazy Days Crazy about Art or maybe a walk along the Chipman Trail that connects Pullman Washington to our neighboring Moscow Idaho. The Chipman Trail was opened in 1998 due to countless hours of dedication of many of our local Pullman Residents.  This 8 mile paved trail winds parallel to the highway providing both residents of Pullman and Moscow a safe and enjoyable trail that is ideal for walking, biking or skating.  Benches and rest stops are provided along the way so you can take the time to stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the rolling hills of the Palouse that put on their show with the various seasons. Right now we have a beautiful patchwork effect as variou... 07/21/2010
