I have started the official agent in a kilt blog about all things real estate. Or maybe things not real estate. As an attempt to let people know me better, I have made the decision to try a blog. Sometimes I imagine it will be personal. Sometimes it will have to do with real estate in Ashland, or real estate in Southern Oregon in general. Jackson County statistics may be included, or information from the Southern Oregon MLS.
I hope I can make it informative and entertaining, and that all of you who visit my website, and those of you who know me as a Realtor and as a friend will read it.
The best way to get to know the day to day affairs is to follow me on Twitter, or become a fan of my Facebook page.

If you want property around Ashland, but are worried about freeway noise, I have recommendations. The homes in Talent on Wagner Creek Road, or Phoenix Oregon homes on streets like Coleman Creek Road. Homes in Southwest Medford are also very close to Ashland, but away from freeway noises. If you don't mind a little snow, I am a big fan of the Greensprings and Dead Indian Memorial areas East of Ashland.
If you currently own property in or around Ashland Oregon, and are thinking of placing it on the market, check out my latest statistics and find out why pricing your home appropriately is more important now then ever.

The single most important thing you can do to assist in buying a house is to have a good credit score, to know your credit score and know how to improve your credit score. In times of a depression such as has been experienced in 2008-2010, credit scores have been sliding for a large percentage of Americans. Which makes the power of a good credit score all that much more important. Search online for your free credit report. The government passed a regulation that requires the 3 major credit agencies, (Experian, Equifax, and Transunion) to share with you for free your credit report once a year. There are also companies that monitor your credit report for a fee. Unless you are fooling around with credit issues, it is probably a waste of money, but can help to educate you as to what helps or hurts your credit rating.
Feel free to contact me for ideas for increasing your credit score.
