Professional Photos!

MarkLaH — Mon, 14 Apr 2014 23:54:53 +0000

I recently had a great experience with a new listing that I posted Friday (4/11/14). I was asked by my clients if I have used a professional photographer. I said I always felt like my pictures were adequate and my clients have been happy in the past. I went away pondering the possibility of expanding to a more “professional” touch. I recently hired Mark LaHaie to create my website. I am very happy with what he’s done with karolynwold.com. He seems to take what I want and like magic, turn the ideas into reality. I am so pleased. He mentioned along the way that he does professional photography with his brother Greg. They met with me on Friday and sent over pictures that evening. I was able to post beautiful pictures and add a virtual tour from Mark and more the next morning. He made postcards with the townhome and my clients felt like they had not ever seen pictures like this of their townhome! They also commented on the fact that they have been looking for replacement property for the past 3 months and have not seen pictures this good. They were so happy when I delivered the postcards this morning. Click on THIS LINK to see the virtual tour of my new listing!!

I will be using this service on all of my listings in the future. Mark can be reached at MarkWebTech.com , or: 503.915.9183

Thanks Mark and Greg!

Are we facing a “Short Sale Cliff?”

MarkLaH — Thu, 27 Mar 2014 19:06:11 +0000

Preliminary Data Suggests Impact from Expiration of the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act.

For those of you looking to short sale your home, as of January 1st, the government did not extend the mortgage forgiveness debt relief act that has been in place, excusing Oregon home owners from having to pay taxes on the amount forgiven by the bank. In other words, if the bank is willing to forgive a seller $200,000 on the property they are short selling, they will be paying taxes on the $200,000 as if it were INCOME. Ouch!

Here is a good article about it.

Have you considered an ” Additional Dwelling Unit ” ?

MarkLaH — Thu, 27 Mar 2014 18:59:07 +0000

I have recently been working with a lot of people who are interested in ADU’s (Additional Dwelling Unit) on their property. Whether it’s a guest house for friends and family or something for the aging parent, we are seeing more and more need for this type of structure.

Here’s an excellent website about these in the Portland area – http://accessorydwellings.org/

If you have any questions about ADU’s or any other Real Estate related topics.. I’d love to help.
