I want to give a big personal shout out to Persnickety Lawn and Landscape. Simply put… Our yard was a mess. Over the past four years I have added countless bags of seed, fertilizer, and even resorted to voodoo chants trying to get the lawn in amazing shape. To say I was fighting a losing battle would have been an understatement, so finally my wife Janet said; “Enough!”

Janet found Persnickety online along with a few other companies and set about interviewing landscapers to come in and fix the drainage problems and overall shape of our yard once and for all. It only took her one meeting with Keith Wolfe the owner of Persnickety however to know she had found the right crew to make our dream yard a reality….

Local real estate leader calls December "One of best on record"

Former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Percy Harvin bought a 4-BR Bellevue home for $1.38M in June, figuring he was going to settle down in the area for a long time to come. Featuring a wine cellar, three-car garage and a master bath with fireplace, it probably seemed like a good investment. Four months later, Harvin was traded away to the New York Jets after butting heads with the team and all of a sudden that purchase didn't seem like such a great investment after all. It must really feel like a bad idea now that he's sold the home for just $16K more than he paid. As PSBJ points out, the seller usually pays the real estate excise tax in Bellevue, which in the case…

Planning to DOMINATE is not the same as trying to just get a small piece of a lot of markets.

I want you to start thinking like Proctor and Gamble. You’ve heard of them…They’re that little packaged goods company that makes probably half the products in your kitchen and bathroom.

In a nutshell, The Cascade Team allows you to build such a powerful marketing system for a target market that you DOMINATE the market… getting MOST of the business in that market.

Never go into a market just to get a small piece of it…go into that market with the intention of getting ALL of it. It’s a powerful intention. You can’t even say the words or think the thought of DOMINATING a market without changing your philosophy. 

It’s that focus and attention that’s…
