Typically this would mean that I would be viewing some 10 to 35 houses before noon. By 12:00 Am or 1:00 PM I was back in front of the computer checking once again the hot sheet to see what had come on the market since I had been gone. Out the door again for more previews and maybe even once again before the end of the day. Finaly I would power down the computer about 9:00 PM or so in the evening only to start the whole thing over again the very next day.

Yet as hard as I seemed to work there always seemed to be a few houses that somehow slipped between the cracks. Now don’t get me wrong this is not a Rant. This is a demonstration of the power of Technology and my Real_Estate_Investor’s_Web_Site.  At first it was a little slow going getting people signed up. Part of the problem was that I was so busy doing business the old way I really had no time to promote the new way.

That was until one morning while I was out looking at the properties I had taken off of the Hot Sheet, when the Phone rang. Paul, one of my long term buyers had just looked at the email that had been sent to him by my automated web site. After I had gone out on the street looking at all of the hot sheet properties a new property had hit the market. Paul wanted to know more about it. He gave me the address and all of the details. I drove on over and went straight into the vacant house. I called him back immediately. Within 2 hours of his initial call we had presented and had acceptance of his offer on a fabulous Victorian home. The following day the Listing agent told me that within 2 hours of our offer being accepted he received another 10 offers 4 of them for more than full price.

Here is what made the difference. www.househuntportland.com for home buyers and www.portlandflips.com for Investors. Now here are the features.

There are 2 types of searches performed.

1) The Daily email search is sent once a day at 5:30 AM. Search criteria in the Daily search is by Price range in $ 1,000 increments and by area. The area can be as large as the entire Portland Metropolitan area including suburbs and surrounding towns or as small as a neighborhood area of only a few blocks.

2) The second search type is the Saved search. Not only can you choose area and price but a myriad of other search features almost as extensive as is available to Realtors. After your original search criteria is entered you will immediately be sent an email with all of the properties currently on the market matching your criteria. The web site will them monitor the RMLS 24/7 looking for matching properties to be entered. Those matches will then be sent to you within 20 minutes.

Sign up is Free and the success stories are building with 3 people in the last couple of months able to purchase prior to the other agents even knowing the property was listed. You can be on top of the market as well. Sign up today for HOUSE_HUNT or Portland_Flips and let the next success story be YOURS!

Are_YOU_in_a_Pickle ???

Where is Portland? What about my friends? Where will we live? What about the Kids Schools? Just to mention a few. Well now you can have it all in just one place.

Having worked with Incoming Buyers transplanted here from all over the world for more than 20 years I set out to put it all together on my Portland_Or._Web_Site . While here you can do a variety of things from Search_Foreclosures, find Mortgage Broker information or mortgage calculators, do a Basic_MLS_Search or for those who prefer the visual search try the Portland_Real_Estate_IDX_Search or you can simply Let_Your_Next_Home_Find_You with this simple email notification site. And of course you can do your own property searches right here on the Pickle.

One of the Biggest concerns for those transferring to Portland are Schools.  When moving to Portland you can Find_a_Portland_Public_School by you new home address. While there you can follow a variety of links to help you find more information about the schools like reports, attendance and class sizes, age of school and much much more.

While at my web site just for fun be sure to check out some of Herb’s_Sold_Homes . Golfers don’t despair, there is even a link for you at Golf_in_Portland right here. I welcome you suggestions as well. Didn’t see it here? Tell me about it.

Have you received THE LETTER?

Perhaps you have or you are anticipating its arrival any day now. What letter am I talking about? 

It is the letter that you receive from your home mortgage lender. There notice to you that they have not received payment as normal. It is also notification of potential additional fees and consequences for not paying. Also known as the pre-foreclosure letter it can send a chill up and down your spine.

If you have or soon expect to receive the pre-foreclosure letter it most likely comes as no surprise to you. What actions could or should you take?  The last thing you want to do is sit and wait.

Believe it or not your lender did not want to send you that letter. Foreclosures are costly and time consuming and it often times makes more sense for towork out a solution if one is available.

Do you know what your options are? You do have options. As bleak as things may look now they will only look worse if you don’t act. Give me a call today and let’s take a look at how I can help.

Don’t Wait! Call or email Herb today. The longer you wait the harder it will be for me to help. Call now let’s get the ball rolling.
