I love the Palazzo Homes! 4-Squares, Tudors & Bungalows oh My!

Friday, December 11th, 2009

PalazzoI have been a lover of the Palazzo Custom Homes for years now and what they are doing to improve our Portland neighborhoods is fantastic! Do you hate the skinny towering infill homes as much as I do? They have a better looking alternative looking bungalow that fits right in instead and IMPROVES the neighborhood (see if you can identify it in the link below). You most frequently will find the Palazzo in the inner NE/SE & North Portland ares but I was really excited to see that two have surfaced in West Linn.

Zillow Really Irks Me. They Need to Fix Their Website Issues!

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

low-01About 2 out of 5 of my listings I have on Zillow have qwerky problems and I can’t resolve them. Even though Zillow invites you to send in your “help request” through a flag, my cries for assistance are never heard (only replied to with a canned email). My most common problem is when a home (listing) has an old picture attached to it and you can’t delete it from the home profile. See my Happy Valley Listing on Zillow and guess which picture I’m trying to get rid of!
