First on the list of houses to view this morning was my listing at 1208 Washington Ave So., Long Beach.  A great 4 bedroom home walking distance to everything in Long Beach, including the beach!  $279,795.

After that, we visited a cute cabin in Long Beach, west side; a like-new home with huge shop in Vandalia (Ilwaco); a Windward Passage condo that would make a great vacation home or vacation rental, or both; a vintage home north of Long Beach; a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home on 1.5 acres; and a custom beach home with mean high tide ownership.

How many times have you needed to contact a company (and not necessarily one on the Fortune 500 list, maybe just your local service provider) only to be abused by the automated system.  I’ll admit, the first one you usually get, and the one that annoys me the most, is “press 1 to continue in English”.  But, I’m going to let that one slide.  Having been required to call banks for my sellers during short sales, even when I have all the right information, has sometimes left me close to weeping.  I do try hard to be cheerful and polite when dealing with people but after 10 minutes of button pushing, transfers and possibly a disconnect or two, I can’t help but take it out on the poor soul who finally answers (assuming I don’t get voicemail – that’s another story).

If you’ve found yourself in the same situation, trying to change your phone plan, update an account, ask a question, this website might be of help to you!  Try CONTACT HELP and find out some neat tricks to get around the phone system.

Remember, if you’re thinking of purchasing an REO (real estate owned) property, Fannie Mae is offering an incentive! They will cover 3.5% of  a buyer’s closing costs if your sale closes by June 30.  Time’s a-wasting so contact Discovery Coast Real Estate by email or phone 877-637-1412 and get started.

And on a final note, DON’T RINSE THAT CHICKEN!  Find out why: 

Recently implemented, this was received from Pacific County Assessor, Bruce Walker:

“We have a new more user friendly (that wasn’t difficult to accomplish) online mapping service.

 From this page, click on the “MapSifter Taxlots – 2011” link….

It’s more like Taxsifter…after clicking on a parcel a dialogue balloon will appear and when you click on the parcel number it will take you to Taxsifter.”  He adds: “The initial setup was funded by a grant from the WA State Dept of Revenue annual revaluation grant program so didn’t cost us anything this year.”

Discovery Coast Real Estate loves it!  Try it out and see how cool it is and then thank the Pacific County Assessor’s Office.

We would like to thank all the people and businesses that helped to make our first “Home Buyer Fair” a success: Raymond Federal Bank, Colvin’s Home Inspections, Strand Insurance, Pacific County Title and Metropolitan Mortgage.  And thank you to the businesses who supplied door prizes: Full Circle Cafe & Tapestry Rose Yarn Shop, Lost Weekend Clothing, Imperial Schooner and Great Escape Espresso.

If you missed it, too bad!  But we still have a lot of info for you so feel free to stop by.
