Take a drive through magnificent Tri-Cities Washington and discover a combination of luxury and affordability. When it comes to buying luxurious homes, luxury home buying should not only be all about the captivating views, or the customized quality of the finest craftsmanship and materials, nor the open-wide floor plans, generous rooms, spectacular gourmet kitchen, cozy fireplaces, home theaters and the like. Rather, it should also speak about affordability. The Tri-cities of Washington offers luxury real estate and luxury homes that fits every budget any way you prefer. It simply is the best of all worlds.
We were asked recently for Chapel Hill Pasco Washington homes for sale. On further inquiry, we found our buyer wanted to live within the Chiawana High School boundary as our buyer wanted their children to go the new high school. Whether looking for a home within the Chiawana High School or Pasco High School boundaries, we can help. Simply check the boundary maps here, then do a home search here, and/or contact Colleen for further help. We are always here to help. :)

November 2009 Deadline $8000 Tax Credit
Real estate is now more than running from pillar to post personally hunting for properties and then, documentation within the litigation process. Buyer incentives and bailout planning are designed to offer tax credit and compensation to deals that are closed within predetermined periods.
Tax Credit, and not tax deduction, is offered to first-time homebuyers in Kennewick, Richland, Pasco and Washington, who close purchase deals with us till November 2009. The incentive comes in the form of a 10% of the estimated value being offered as home tax credit. The tax credit is literally equivalent to cash in hand!
Our tax credit phases out couple-incomes above $150,000 and in the case of individual filing, incomes above $75,000. The condition is that the home needs to be bought and maintained without sale being contemplated within the next three years. This feature is promoted as a dedicated buyer incentive. The tax credit is applicable to any principle residence. This provision is primarily to promote energy-efficient investments and increase support towards critical housing programs.
The tax credit bailout offers dollar-for-dollar tax reduction, which means that there is no payback involved if you owe anything up to $8,000 in income tax! The bailout buyer incentive is refundable. This feature allows you, as a homebuyer, to receive a check payment for credit if your limited income tax liability is proved. The tax credit incentive does not rule out the involvement of a tax advisor prior to important decision making.
Time is running out! Contact us, or start your home search today to allow for a November 2009 escrow close. Originally posted at $8000 Tax Credit.
Benton Franklin Fair & Rodeo Fairgrounds, 1500 S. Oak St., Kennewick, Washington ~ I tried finding a place to purchase tickets to the fair today and didn't find anything online. However, I was in Yokes today and discovered the store is selling tickets. Just thought I would pass this little tidbit along in case someone else is looking. FYI, I tried the Fair & Rodeo's website but their ticket page was not working! :( Here is a map to the fairgrounds:

Before marrying Joe, I worked in the mortgage industry as a loan officer. It was this familiarity that helped in acquiring our first rental property twenty years ago. I have continued to learn about the real estate industry during the market's many ups and downs.
•· I have held current and valid real estate licenses in both the State of Washington and the State of California since 1994.
•· Together we own and manage 22 separate rental units in the Tri-Cities area.

We manage several blogs (some new, some old, perhaps outdated) related to the real estate industry. From our real estate experience we author property management, property maintenance, and real estate technology blogs, often times discussing issues related to or relevant to our Tri-Cities, Kennewick, Richland, Pasco, and investment real estate blogs. Our daughter has jumped on board adding a Tri-Cities WSU blog. Joe, ever the health nut, has a blog devoted to those desiring to be a healthy real estate agent. Did we miss anything?
Given our experience in owning several multi-family properties, we tend to specialize in representing investors who are buying into the area, as well as anyone interested in buying property. As having bought many properties for personal ownership, we are well versed in the nuances of the real estate purchase.
Just a note to thank you for a great real estate transaction. You said the entire process would be professionally managed, and true to your word, it was.
Keep up the good work!
Bob & Noreen Palmers
We have a happy house!

How´s this - a voice from the past! I was in the faculty room this afternoon, and one of my friends who I teach with came up to me and told me that he had seen my name in print. Knowing that I haven´t made the newspaper lately, and not having seen my picture in the Post Office either, I was curious. He then pulled out the presentation package that you mailed him, and sure enough, there it was, Jeff King!
I was so impressed with your presentation, I just had to write. You know I´m kind of a connoisseur of these kinds of things, and yours is the best I have yet to see. It´s certainly much better that anything I ever put together. You´ve discovered the secret to being a successful real estate agent., and maintaining a professional image.
Well, I just wanted to say hi, and wish you the best of luck. I hope you do well and enjoy the rewards of honest and professional work.
Best wishes! Your name is in my address directory.
Jeff King
I really want to thank you for doing everything you could to complete the sale. It´s really rare to find any businessman who works so hard to please his customers.
Happy Holidays,
Dolores Munsey
Just a note to thank you and your crew for the excellent job. What a difference integrity and professionalism makes!
I was very pleased with the workers you sent out. They were hard-working, organized, efficient and punctual. As a team they worked very well together. The building inspector was especially nice.
Thanks again for a job well done! Sincerely,
