Location: Welches, Brightwood, Government Camp and Rhododendron, Mt Hood Corridor, Oregon

Having moved to the Mt Hood Corridor in 1972 while attending college, I choose the Mt Hood Corridor to buy my first home, raise a family, and enjoy a quiet life surrounded by the natural beauty of Mt. Hood. I’ve had the opportunity to watch the Mt. Hood Corridor slowly grow to a series of small and tight communities, comprised of a population of beautiful custom homes & vacation cabins in price ranges for the first time home buyer to the Fantastic Lodges and everything in-between. So whether you are seeking a vacation home or a full time residence, you can find what you are looking for here on the Mountain. Fulfilling that dream for my clients is what I love to do! Living on Mt. Hood is about lifestyle and represents a quality of life issue. Getting the right balance for each buyer is the key…

Barriers to Selling a Home Here On Mt Hood

The Biggest Barriers to Selling Your Home
Often they are those you create yourself by wanting a quick sale or not learning all there is to know about presenting your house to its best advantage. When you first begin to think about selling your home it seems easy. Put a sign on the lawn and list it. Once the shine wears off of the desire to do it all yourself, you might need some tips to help sell your home:

Clean It Up
That's the first and foremost advice. Nothing deters a real estate sale faster than a messy house. Living in your home while trying to sell it makes it difficult to keep it clean, but if you're serious about wanting to sell your home, it's worth the extra effort. You may want to learn how to clean your home fast for those times when a buyer calls and wants to see your home in 15 minutes or less.

Take Good Pictures
Where do you think people search first for homes for sale? Online. Newspapers used to be the first place people looked for homes. But now, approximately 80% of all home buyers look online before searching anywhere else. Due to cost and space limitations, newspapers usually display only one photo of the front view of the home. On the internet, where space is abundant, buyers expect to see lots of exterior and interior pictures, in fact, the more the better. If you aren't experienced at getting good room photos that show off your Mt Hood home to its best advantage, hire a photographer or a real estate agent who can do it for you.
