PC OFFICE TO OPEN JULY 4 WEEKEND

I TOOK A DRIVE SOUTH to Pacific City today to see how things are coming along at the new office. The walls are freshly painted in a light buttercream shade, new carpet installed, crisp white moldings are in place, now if we just had some furniture! The good news is it's on its way and we will be ready for business come Sunday morning.

WHAT A LOCATION!
No question this is one great location! Take two steps to the left of BJ's [Ben and Jeff's] Burger's and Tacos http://www.benandjeffs.com/ [near the Pelican Brew Pub] and you'll see our OPEN sign. You can count on seeing at least one of us eating BJ's amazing fish tacos around the lunch and/or dinner hour (today was no exception.) We couldn't be more excited about the prospect of getting to know people in Pacific City -- homeowners and vacationers alike. Anytime you are out walking around stop in for a cup of coffee, or just to say hello. We hope the atmosphere in the new PC office will be as easy going as in our Netarts office. Been on the beach with your family? No problem! We have tile in our foyer and aren't afraid of wet & sandy feet. We plan to be open seven days a week and truly welcome visitors anytime. We give alot of driving directions, too! No question is too small.

I DO LOVE OUR NEW WEBSITE
There of course is a website to go along with this new PC baby. Visit www.RobTrostPC.com to see all of our Pacific City listings, as well as everything we have listed in Tillamook County. You can also visit www.iWantABeachHome.com, or our home site RobTrost.com to search the Tillamook County MLS and Portland RMLS. There is a ton of information between these three websites. We are very excited about having another Rob Trost Real Estate office to offer even more service to our clients. The possibilities are endless.

Here's today's photo: I pulled off along Netarts Bay on my way back to the office. What an amazing afternoon! Enjoy!

DETOUR: DESTINATION OCEANSIDE

So close, yet so far away. That's what residents of Netarts will be saying if Oceanside is their intended destination. According to ODOT Highway 131 between Netarts and Oceanside will be closing toward the end of this week (July 1) for some much needed repair work. Once closed, a one-way trip between the tiny towns will increase from just two miles to nearly 15! We've certainly taken this scenic stretch of roadway for granted. Our fingers are crossed for speedy repair.

ODOT hopes to have the slide situation solved and the road back in working order by Fall, though I've heard the precise solution is still unknown. Already there is talk of creative travel while the road is closed: Driving on the beach from Happy Camp to Oceanside (might get you into some trouble), walking of course, biking and maybe a four wheeler trek through the woods. No doubt Netartians and weekenders will feel compelled to travel the shortest distance while the road is out of service. It will be fun and interesting to see what people come up with. We still love you Oceanside will surely make the best of this unfortunate situation!

My how quickly time passes!

Okay, it's been a while...Almost an entire year since my last post! I offer no excuses, but realize it is the perfect time to get this baby back on track! Many new things to talk about in our micro beach Real Estate world!


In no particular order:
1st...on a personal note :) My photo collection can now be viewed on my website! Visit www.iWantABeachHome.com and click on "Wendy's Photo Gallery" Currently 225 photos can be viewed, with more added weekly. Take a look and let me know what you think!

On Real Estate side...
1 - Rob Trost Real Estate [RTRE] mounted a Netarts Bay Cam and weather station high atop the Schooner Bar and Grill. The camera is great in the summer to check bay conditions and the weather station is a ton of fun in the winter giving peak wind gusts during and after storms. Visit my website www.iWantABeachHome.com, or www.robtrost.com to view both.

2 - RTRE is opening two new locations! Both in the Three Capes Loop Scenic Loop: Our new Pacific City office will have a soft opening July 1, 2011. It is located just South of the Pelican Brew Pub next door to the new walk up Taco/Burger shack. Our third office will open mid-July in Oceanside in the old [new] Anchor Building. We will be sharing this space with the Brewin' in the Wind coffee shop, which has already made the move from their original location. Our Netarts office will still be our main office open seven days nearly 360 days a year.

3 - Along with two new office we are also pleased to welcome three new Brokers: Steph McRea will be joining the Netarts office and Janis Holmes and Virginia Reid will be at our new Pacific City office.


More coming soon about all of these exciting additions!
