Ten years ago, people moved to Beaverton because they couldn't afford Portland.

Today, people choose Beaverton intentionally.

Better school ratings.

Shorter commutes to Nike, Intel, and the Sunset Corridor tech corridor.

More walkable pockets than most people expect.

And a downtown that's actually invested in itself.

The buyers I'm working with aren't settling for Beaverton…
they're prioritizing it.

If you haven't seriously looked at what's available west of Portland in 2026, the numbers might surprise you.

Most veterans are losing thousands when buying a home...

… and it’s not what you think.

It’s not realtor fees.

It’s not escrow fees.

And it’s certainly not paying a little extra for a radon test during your inspection.

So, how is it they’re overpaying?

Something called the VA funding fee — a one-time charge built into most VA home loans. On a $400,000 purchase it can run anywhere from $8,000 to $14,000.

Here's what most lenders won't tell you upfront:

If you have a service-connected disability rating — even a partial one — you may be completely exempt from paying it.

That's not a loophole. That's your benefit.

But it only works if someone on your team knows to ask.

🛑 ATTENTION VETERANS: The #1 Myth About Using Your VA in 2026?

A lot of active-duty service members and veterans still think VA loans are capped.

But here is the reality in 2026:

If you have your full entitlement, there is no maximum loan limit from the VA.

Depending on your qualifications, you could unlock up to $2M in zero-down buying power.

Before you start house hunting, make sure you know exactly what you’ve earned and how to maximize your benefit this year.

I've put together a quick 60-second quiz to help you understand this better.

As a bonus for going through it, you'll get a free VA homebuying blueprint.

Inside the blueprint you'll get everything I've learned navagating the homebuying process for veterans.

These are tips and tricks I've learned after helping veterans buy & sell since 1991.

Is your yard turning into a jungle this spring?

I know mine caught me off guard just last weekend -- I swear I had JUST mowed the thing, too...

Grass growing too fast, weeds popping up everywhere, pollen, trimming, cleanup… it's a lot.

Here's a few easy things homeowners can do to stay ahead:

🌿 Mow a little more often instead of letting it overgrow (whoops! It happens)

🌿 Mulch flower beds to slow weeds down

🌿 Clean gutters before summer arrives

Small maintenance now = way less stress later.

It's all too easy to say "Oh, I'll take care of it later."

Before you know it?

You've got a small jungle in your backyard and just starting yard work is overwhelming.

These may seem basic, but stay on top of these, and you'll have company come over saying "wow, you're yard looks amazing!"

Got any other tips, questions, or thoughts you'd like answered?

Drop 'em in the comments below and I'll make sure you're taken care of.

I read every single one of them personally.

🤧 Sneezes, runny noses, and empty tissue boxes...

You already know it's that time of year.

But did you know there's a few things you can do inside your home today to help filter out the pollen?

If you're trying to avoid pollen build up, here are a few things to keep in mind:

✅ Keep windows closed and recycle the air inside your home on high pollen count days.

✅ Replace HVAC filters regularly

✅ Leave shoes at the door

✅ Vacuum carpets & furniture often

Small habits can make a huge difference this season 🌿

Everyone knows about the costly electric bills coming up this summer...

But what if there was a way you could be proactive in spring to help offset those costly repair bills and roasty hot nights?

Here's 5 things I've seen save famliies thousands while keeping them cool & comfortable during those toasty hot summer days.

• Replace HVAC filters
• Check weather stripping
• Clean ceiling fans
• Service your AC early
• Water lawns early morning or evening

A little preventative maintenance now can save hundreds later or thousands later.

Have an awesome day.

PERHAPS THE BIGGEST B.S I’VE EVER HEARD WHEN IT COMES TO REAL ESTATE.

Waiving your home inspection to win a bid.

Everytime I hear this it drives me crazy…

You honestly should never consider it.

Most of the time? It's one of the riskiest moves a buyer can make.

Why wouldn’t you want a professional to go through the house head to toe?

It's literally a disaster waiting to happen:

→ Older Oregon homes (foundation issues, underground oil tanks, knob-and-tube wiring)

→ You're stretching your budget to make the purchase

It’s just not worth the risk.

There’s no upside in saving $800 bucks on something that could save you tens of thousands or more.

Here's a number every Oregon seller needs to understand.

21

That's roughly how many days on market before buyers start assuming something is wrong with your home.

Doesn't matter if nothing IS wrong. Doesn't matter if it's priced fairly.

The psychology shifts.

"Why hasn't it sold?" "What are we missing?" "Let's lowball and see what happens."

Every day past that threshold costs you negotiating power.

The sellers who come out ahead price it to create momentum in the first 7–10 days — not to leave room to negotiate down later.

Because here's the truth:

A home that sells in week one almost always sells for more than the same home that sells in week four.

Same house. Different timeline. Completely different outcome.

A military spouse named Jennifer Barnhill wrote something that's stuck with me.

She said:

"We pushed back, and our lender and realtor convinced the seller's agent to let us use the VA loan. We were lucky — it worked.

Had we made different choices, our outcome might have been very different."

“Lucky.”

That word hit me hard.

No veteran family should have to rely on luck to use a benefit they earned through service.

But that's the reality for too many right now.

The difference between a VA offer that gets accepted and one that gets passed over?

It's rarely the offer itself.

It's the preparation.

Lender relationships.

Offer presentation strategy.

Perhaps most important?

The agent who knows how to advocate for you.

And after 35 years of doing this, it's something I take pride in being able to help you with.

If you're a veteran planning to buy in Oregon this year, let's make sure you're not leaving it to luck.

"Should I just buy new construction?"

This question is something I'm extremely passionate about.

And honestly? It's more complicated than most agents will tell you.

Here's the real breakdown for Oregon buyers in 2026:

NEW CONSTRUCTION ❌ → Builders have their own agents — who work for the builder, not you → "Incentives" often come with strings attached → Timelines slip. Sometimes by months. →
You're paying a premium for something that isn't worht it.

It's unwise.

Anybody allowing the builder’s agent to represent them in the home of their new construction?

I’d highly recommend against.

Their interests are tied to the builder – not the buyer.
EXISTING HOME ✅ → Established neighborhoods with mature character → More negotiating flexibility → Faster closing

If you're weighing both options and want a straight honest answer about what makes sense for YOUR situation?

I’ve got quite a few stories I’ve endured personally and I’d love to share them with you.
