Hi friends,  Let's talk about getting your home ready to sell and the best place to start is the same place a "would-be home buyer" would start, at the curb. Start across the street of your home and do two things. First, take a look at the home as if you are looking at it for the first time. What jumps out at you? What needs attention? Can you see the front door.  Second, take a photo and then look at the photo to see what jumps out at you. Is the hose out of the bib, are the garbage cans stealing the show?  The above exercise will be of tremendous help you to you. From there, we want to look at what needs light, paint and cleaning. If you use the garage to enter your home, you may not even realize what the entry door is like anymore.  Change out your porch light with the brightest bulb... 05/13/2019

I’m headed home on a dark and stormy Tuesday evening. It’s been a really long day and I’m totally starving! I still have a ton of stuff to do before the day is done. I’m thinking about stopping somewhere to get a bite to eat is a really good idea! I’ve been good about my diet lately and eating healthy with mostly greens, veggies, and rice and such, but I have to admit, I’ve been craving a big ol’ deluxe Burger and French Fries for a couple of weeks now!So what’s that have to do with real estate? :O) Well, nothing... But, as Grandma used to say, “You need to eat Mon chou (my cabbage). You’re growing and you’ve got lots to do!” (I digress, I know, but I am enjoying a few random thoughts. Thank you universe!) So I swung by one of my favorite spots in Renton, the Whistle Stop Ale House.The ... 03/15/2017

Today is my Dad’s birthday, so I’m thinking about him. I’ve posted about him before and thought I’d share something today, but I didn’t want to repeat myself too much so I took a little trip back through my Activerain archives this week to take a look see and that proved to be quite revealing.One thing really stuck out and that was how much my technology has changed since I started blogging in the rain back in November 2008.One of my early posts back in March 2009 included a little video. The soundtrack was from an evening I sat in with Dad at Cavallini’s in Cle Elum (1976).As I'm reading I start to laugh...I’m listening to tunes on my iPod. Does anyone still have one?I used a Flip Mino camera to shoot the video. I had two, they're both dead in a drawer somewhere.My phone, a Blackberry ... 08/18/2016

Today was one of those day’s I felt like a babykins toddler with my back flaps down going somewhere in a big hurry full of intention, but not getting very far.I really don’t have a lot of photos of my early early years. But then again, there really weren’t a lot of photos taken back then and those that were have been distributed throughout the family over the years.Yet it’s funny and ironic that this one survived and is still in my possession. It never fails to make me smile and as I get older I have to chuckle as I recognize how accurately it still kind of portrays me and my journey through life. Yep... That’s me alright, I’m on my way!I was working on new clock hour classes all day today and wrote myself into a corner. I’m so so so close to finishing the next class but I can’t stop my... 07/21/2016

A few of my close friends have recently called me out of my quiet re: the very dark and hurtful clouds that have passed over us these past few weeks. Without nitpicking details, they encouraged me (actually kind of insisted) I step up to the plate and share my truth and my story. So okay, here goes...*I consider myself a blessed man. I have a wonderful (extended) family and many friends. They are of many faiths and beliefs and were born here or immigrated here and collectively represent roots that reach back to almost every known people and place on this earth, our one and only home.They represent a rainbow of heritage, customs, cultures, and color. They may be considered white, black, brown, yellow, or red and every conceivable mixture thereof, but I simply call them my friends and lov... 07/14/2016
