Virtual Real Estate

Like so many before me, I fell in love with Sequim and the Olympic Peninsula, and after 28 years, I’m still here with no plans to leave. After 20 years of real estate law, over a decade ago I opened my own real estate brokerage, and since then I’ve been helping buyers from all over the United States learn about Sequim and buy their ideal retirement homes in Sequim and the surrounding communities. If I were indicted for being a buyer’s agent with a passion to help buyers find their dream homes and get safely to closing (after the proper due diligence), there would be plenty of evidence...

When people talk about the future, they usually mean virtual reality. The reason is that when you say "the future", most people think of science fiction, and nearly all SF takes place in a virtual space. The word metaverse is actually an old term for cyberspace - the virtual environment that exists on computers. So, you could argue that the metaverse and cyberspace are virtually the same things. Metaverse has the slick ring of the future around it, but in reality, it refers to past or present realities, not just a future vision.

The real estate industry is in the middle of a massive transition from the old traditional bricks and mortar business model to the world of high tech in the clouds. Of course, many other industries are in transition, too, and none of them have been handling the transition very well. It has been a long slow transition, and painful for the real estate industry. There’s no question that the rapid changes we have seen since the public launching of the Internet in 1994 started a revolution that is far from over. I would argue that changes of this magnitude have not occurred since America’s ...

A career in real estate isn’t rocket science, at least on the surface: Put buyers and sellers together, guide them through the negotiation and on to a successful settlement, collect a commission check, exit stage left, repeat.Alas, the devil, though — as they say — is in the details. And details there are. Many of them.It seems that each year real estate sales become increasingly more complicated. The “contract-to-close” period is among the most important in the real estate sales cycle. All the hard work of finding a home for your buyer, working with the listing agent and ...

A fast fun read packed full of real estate education based on the real world. “It was like “Rich Dad Poor Dad” with a different perspective! This book is quite a bit different from Mark’s other books…it’s actually written more like a novel with a storyline that is packed with all kinds of valuable, real-life information on real estate. What I liked about the book is that it challenged the idea that “your house is a liability, not an asset” that Rich Dad Poor Dad claims. Although Robert Kiyosaki’s general idea makes a lot of sense (it takes money from your pocket each month...
