Cathy attends national real estate seminar in Atlanta

Submitted by Cathy Hill:

Earlier this month, I attended a real estate seminar in Atlanta.  I had the pleasure of meeting realtors from across the country!  The conference was designed for sharing best practices between real estate teams and covered topics including buyers, sellers, systems, marketing, and team building.  What an opportunity to represent Portland and The Rob Levy Team!  It was also no surprise to learn about how many people in different parts of the United States love Portland, and Oregon in general!

At the conference in Atlanta, it was excellent reinforcement to learn that we are doing so many things right here at The Rob Levy Team!  As an example, we're quite proactive with our buyers who relocate from out of state by sending them our new Portland Relocation Guide, an original creation by our teammate Kate Baldus.  Our principal broker Rob Levy is always on top of trends for clients and potential sellers, providing monthly assessments of their property value, a process designed to help manage homes and property as an investment!  As a team, we work to ensure that client needs are covered.  At each year end, we electronically send clients a full set of documents regarding their recent home sale or purchase, including the final HUD provided by the title company.  This is critical for income tax purposes!  There's always more we can do, but we're doing many things right!

Rob attends and speaks at national CyberStar Realtor Seminar

by Rob Levy, Prudential Northwest Properties

I just got back from attending the 6th annual "CyberStars" Realtor convention ( www.cyberstars.net ) in San Antonio, Texas.  I have been to every one of these, and always find it useful to help me sell homes in Portland Oregon.

This year there were 107 attendees, and many good subjects.  I was talking about our property investment profile program we offer which is doing an automatic market analysis of your house and then triggering it to automatically email it to the seller every 30 days with updates on active, pending and sold homes, even all mapped out too !  I also learned about other tech toys including a tiny battery operated projector which I immediately ordered too.

But at the end of the day, it is a place for me to socialise with other very successful and techy Realtors from all over the USA who think and act just like me, and also talk about home opportunities.  In fact, while there I sold a home in Hillsboro which I hadnt even started to market yet to one of my Realtor freinds from Berkeley, California.

I will continue to attend all these types of events, and im fact speaking at a one day event in Atlanta for Howard Brinton's Star Power ( www.gostarpower.com ) in early February, and again then at the Prudential Real Estate annual convention in San Diego at the end of March, this time in front of about 7,000 people.

Being a top selling Realtor team is about knowledge and about connections and about freinds.  By cultivating all of these, I can do a better job selling homes here in Portland, Oregon

Did you miss the best buys and best time to buy real estate in Portland Oregon?

Have you seen the latest real estate news from Portland, Oregon?  Last Saturday's headlines talked about the continued downtrend in the national market except that this is not appearing to happen in the Portland Oregon housing market!
 
It said that the real estate slump and downward trend that has been plaguing the nation, missed Portland and the Portland, Oregon real estate market continues to be active, strong and the buyers and sellers are still buying and selling homes.

Why?  Well, the Portland Oregon real estate market continues to be the best buy and best kept secret on the entire west coast!  The greater western Washington market has not missed a beat.  However, the average priced home in western Washington is almost double of the average priced home in Portland, Oregon.  The average priced home in California, even with their recent drops, is still approximately 2.5 times what it is in Portland.
 
The average buyer can still buy a great home in great locations, near parks,water, libraries, shopping and mass transportation in Portland Oregon for a great price!
