Who Do You Hire for Repairs? Landscaping? Remodeling?
Oregon law requires that people who work on real property improvements for compensation be licensed by the state. Oregon's Constuction Contractors Board (CCB) is responsible for testing and issuing the licences, and here is a link to their web site where you can see all they do, and even check on the licence of a contractor you may consider hiring. Also, Prudential Northwest Properties' own HomeServices department has a list of vendors and tradespeople whose licences they have already checked out.
What do you know about your Mortgage Broker/Lender?
I like to recommend lenders and mortgage brokers that have a good "track record" of with my clients, whether you are refinancing or buying a home. Some buyers may already have a good experience with another lender, or may be curious about an Internet lender they have heard about. An official state division exists, with their own web site, to help you check out any lender doing business in Oregon.
