Welcome to Spokane!

Hi!

Welcome to Spokane!

Whether you are just visiting or are considering moving to Spokane, I would like to say "Welcome"!

I grew up in New Jersey, met my wife in Olympia, WA and together we have lived in Southern California and South Carolina before finally settling down here in Spokane, WA! We are profoundly blessed to have found this amazing corner of the world and are very excited to be able to raise our family here!

My goal here is not to be a directory of all the things that Spokane has to offer, as there are already a good number of sites doing that. I do like to explore though and highlight the things that I have found, so as you discover cool, hidden secrets of Spokane, please share them and I will do the same!

From great events like Hoopfest (June 24-25) and Bloomsday (May 7 this year) to nature trails and awesome parks, Spokane has an incredible amount of variety to offer for it's size. It truly feels like a small town, but offers so much that you can only find in a big city!

With a population of 210,000 (2013) it is the second largest city in the State of Washington!

What is your favorite part of Spokane?

Get a lender!!

-
Greetings! I am 'cranking up' the old blog and getting things started because I have waited way to long to start and in order to start, you have to start somewhere. So I thought it would be appropriate to start where I tell all my clients to start - with a lender! Why? - Good question, thank you in the back for asking! Let's paint a scenario. You come to me and your all excited about buying your first house! You have been surfing Zillow for about a year, you know how much you want your monthly payment to be and you have found the perfect house! What could possibly go wrong. (By the way, all the realtors in the room are cringing right now because everything in this scenario screams at them what will most likely go wrong, but we're going to get to a lot of that later, for now we are just dealing with the lender part of things) So you send me your listing (listing is a fancy Realtor word for "House that is listed in the local MLS [MLS is "Multiple Listi

What is a Miracle Agent?

If you've come to check out this site because you recently visited the Costco on Sprague in Spokane, you may be wondering, "What exactly is a miracle agent?"! Since 1992, RE/MAX has partnered with the Children's Miracle Network and has donated over $150 million for 170 Member hospitals. From the Press Release: Every minute, 62 children enter a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital for treatment; every 30 seconds, a RE/MAX agent helps someone find their perfect place. Last year, RE/MAX Affiliates in the U.S. and Canada donated over $10 million to 170 Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals through the Miracle Home and Miracle Property programs. The amazing thing that really captured my attention about the Children's Miracle Network is that ALL of the money raised stays local. So every dollar that is donated here in Spokane, stays here in Spokane! Our office had the opportunity to tour Sacred Heart Children's Hospital to see where the money goes and it

The Buying Process

-
So, you've decided to buy a house!  That's great! If this is your first time, that process can seem a little daunting! One of the things that I love the most about being a Realtor is walking people through that process. Along the way, we all learn something, but for a first time buyer, it is easy to feel like, "I don't even know what I don't know, so how can I ask the right questions?" There is no way for me to tell you all of the things that you are likely to face in your transaction because every transaction is different and something new will always come up. I try to spend a lot of time with veteran Realtors and the one thing that I hear consistently from all of them is that even after 30, 40, 50 - or more years, they are still coming across things they have never seen before. So, number 1 in this Buying Process guide is "At some point, you will be surprised by something"! And that is okay. If you have a good Realtor and a good lender and yo
