Lake Oswego Real Estate Activity Report – December 22-28, 2008

Lake Oswego saw two properties enter the market last week.  Feet of snow and ice may stop delivery companies and impair mall traffic the week of Christmas, but the real estate market moves forward! (albeit slightly)

One property went “Pending”, and we have no sales for the week.

Here is the latest Lake Oswego real estate market [...]

Snowapalooza 2008

Code of Ethics

While having lunch with friends recently one woman was telling us about the difficulty she had with some of her co-workers. I guess there was a good deal of gossiping and even some back stabbing that went on behind people’s backs. My initial reaction to her story was dismay over her situation and [...]
