That will leave time to drive, pick up coffee, and park. You can leave your car here in our parking lot if you want.

Taco Feed Raises $524 To Fight Cancer!

 

Thanks to everyone that came by on May 3 (or sent a check) to support our Taco Feed to benefit Relay for Life! Together, we raised $524 (and had a great time doing it)! Thank You! Relay for Life is July 21-22 at Columbia River High School to benefit the American Cancer Society.  

Lenders: We'll Match Competitor Quotes! 

 

anniegetAnything they can do, we can do better!  This paraphrase of the classic musical "Annie Get Your Gun" applies to title and escrow, too!  The title insurance industry is highly competitive--and we're able in most cases to match competitor's quotes.  If you use "Brand X" because they do things a certain way or because they are least expensive, try us and you'll be surprised that you can get the best service at the lowest price with Cascade Title!  Our rates are the lowest in town but, if you think you're getting a better deal somewhere else, give us a try!  

 

5 Habits of Highly Productive Real Estate Agents

(With excerpts from www.rismedia.com)

    

5habitsCascade Title wants to provide Realtors with tools to improve their productivity. But with so many distractions, productivity is a challenge. Between phone calls, emails, listing presentations, prospecting calls and buyers appointments, how do you stay productive? Keep yourself focused, alert and on track with these 5 Habits of Highly Productive Real Estate Agents:

 

1. Focus on Your Most Important Tasks

 

The first part of every real estate agent's day should be spent focused on the most important tasks. Why bother spending hours on time-consuming/low-payoff tasks when you could focus on tasks that actually generate income and produce results?

 

Schedule time on your calendar and then list out everything you will work on. Once you've done that, number each item and work through your list. Complete what you can during your scheduled time without any interruptions or distractions. Rinse and repeat the next day.

 

2. Remove Distractions

 

Between the phone, email, Internet, employees and all other "interruptions," our day can quickly get away from us if we allow it. Turn it all off and stay focused on your task at hand.

 

Do not allow for a quick vacation on Facebook or a stroll down memory lane with an old friend. Cut yourself off from all distractions, work down your list and take a break once complete.

 

3. Use Positive Affirmations

 

Positive affirmations really do work! They can take a negative attitude and turn it around just be repeating a few constructive, upbeat words.

 

Not familiar with how to use positive affirmations? Here is a tip: All affirmations should be repeated in the present tense. For example, "I am creating a clear path towards my destiny." See what I mean? You are speaking as if it is happening right now, not in the past and not in the future. Pick a time of day that works best for you and then read them out loud each day.

 

4. Take a Cat Nap

 

Grabbing a few zzz's might seem like an odd productivity tip, but studies have shown that feeling refreshed after a nap can significantly improve concentration and performance.

 

I wouldn't suggest napping any longer than 30 minutes though or you will go from refreshed to groggy.

 

5. Set Daily Goals

 

A day without goals is like setting out on a road trip without a map. Sure you'll end up somewhere, but I'm doubtful it's where you truly wanted to be.

 

Wake up each morning with your goals outlined. These should be incorporated into your daily tasks. Setting your sites on a goal each day offers clarity and promotes a more sustained drive.

 

Keep in mind that not every habit may be right for you. The most important part about creating habits is creating habits that stick. They will only stick if there's 'buy-in' from you.

 

Bonus! 6. Break out of the Norm

 

Don't be afraid to branch out and try something that makes you a little uncomfortable. Stepping outside of your comfort zone can be an amazing place that offers growth potential you never believed possible.
