Alisa, Padden Parkway is really a straight shot...I live closer to town, and I can reach the airport in 10-15 minutes..I go over to 82nd and Killingsworth to my mechanic and I can reach his shop in rush hour in 20 minutes...using 205...I think that the distance would we approx. the same from Padden Pkwy...it is a different story using I-5 during rush hour...that being said, I drove to downtown Portland, last Friday during rush hour from Mill Plain and I-5 in 15 minutes.. - Sun Mar 16 2008, 18:29
Alisa, the commute from Vancouver's Eastside, ie. Fishers Landing, is quick, and convenient to the 205/84 area...may even be more accessable than Happy Valley...in this price range you will have your pick of a lot of great housing choices...great schools, and the benefit of being close to Portlands downtown ,air port, and eastside for great shopping along the drive to the airport...largely built for the SW Washington shopper...and the advantage of a small town atmosphere... - Wed Mar 12 2008, 13:57
Miss Tessi, this is a great avenue for someone who had the time and talent to discern the facts and determination to stick to it...however, is you are transfering and need a quick move or do not wish to engage in that kind of real estate the traditional avenue is always there...My Husband and I have in the past purchased realestate on the Courthouse steps, it is fun and has been worthwhile...I do know others that have had disappointment taking that avenue, as you cannot always view the interiors of the homes being sold and do not know the condition that has been left behind...so, buyer beware...there can be some angry and disappointed homeowners on their way out... - Sun Mar 9 2008, 12:16
Shelley, you may want to consider Vancouver, Washington for a look as well...we have excellent school systems here, parks, walking trails, and much, much, more...give it a look... - Tue Mar 4 2008, 07:51
Renae, all of those items the Listing Agent should already have in play...It is difficult to be the Selling Agent and come in behind an Agent that doesn't have a clue... - Sun Mar 9 2008, 12:07
The #1 and most important issue is...is this a hardship case...the Lendor is going to look at other assets and if the house is occupied or vacant...don't be fooled by a homeowner just wanting out... - Sat Mar 8 2008, 14:49
I went to a great class on Short Sales today, it was offered by one of our local Title Companys, a world of information for $20.00...look for good education, it will make the difference... - Wed Mar 5 2008, 17:11
Ian, I see that you are with Windermere...as am I...see if you can get into some Walt Frey coaching...call the Bellevue office...they are very active with Walt Frey and Larry Kendall...you will not go wrong there... - Thu Mar 6 2008, 18:37
Ian, the best way to fast track is through education...begin by obtaining your CRS designation... - Wed Mar 5 2008, 17:08
In the State of Washington you will have to pay an Excise Tax to change title...so yes money will be needed and a Title Company or Attorney can do a Quit Claim Deed for you... - Tue Mar 4 2008, 19:33
