Teachings of the Wilderness

Wednesday, 06 April 2016 by Chuck Marunde

Teachings of the Wilderness is Chuck Marunde’s latest book, a story about growing up in Alaska in a little cabin far from civilization. While this blog is all about real estate, and most of Chuck’s books are about real estate, this book is something completely different and fun. Teachings of the Wilderness – From the

Oil Rig in Port Angeles

Tuesday, 21 April 2015 by Chuck Marunde

We have an oil rig in Port Angeles, and it’s probably the largest rig we’ve ever had in the Port. The Polar Pioneer is an oil rig built in Malaysia on its way to the Chukchi Sea off the northern coast of Alaska. It is over 355 feet high, which means it towers over the

The Sequim Audubon Center

Friday, 20 February 2015 by Chuck Marunde

The Sequim Audubon Center is a major attraction at Railroad Bridge Park. I visited the Park yesterday because I wanted to look at the Bridge, which just survived a very high Sequim Dungeness River after a lot of rain in the mountains. The Bridge is temporarily closed as the wooden sidewalk on the other side

Sunday, 08 February 2015 by Chuck Marunde

The Sequim Dungeness River is as high as you’ll ever see it, higher than I’ve seen it in maybe 20 years. People asked if we have floods in the Sequim area, and we really don’t. The Sequim Dungeness is our main river, and when it gets high like this, it wears away some banks and

New Year's Resolution

The Sequim New Year’s Resolution: Something Better

Thursday, 01 January 2015 by Chuck Marunde

Who likes to make a New Year’s Resolution? No one. When we talk about a New Year’s Resolution, we usually do so with a negative tone, and most people can talk about how they have not kept their New Year’s Resolution from last year (and the year before ad infinitum). So what’s better than a

The Death of Newspapers: What’s Going On?

Thursday, 24 April 2014 by Chuck Marunde

Are we really seeing the death of newspapers? The incredible growth of the Internet has come at great expense to traditional print newspapers. The National Association of Realtors says that 95% of all home buyers start their search for a home on the Internet, not in print newspapers. There was a time when we searched

Logging on the Olympic Peninsula

Tuesday, 25 October 2011 by Chuck Marunde

Logging on the Olympic Peninsula has been an important part of the economic activity, just as fishing was once a major force.  Logging has a fascinating history revealed in these old photographs. It’s hard to imagine handling such massive trees and logs with such primitive equipment, but they did it. The size of these huge

Wisdom from an 84-Year Old Homeowner

Thursday, 06 October 2011 by Chuck Marunde

I spent time yesterday with an 84-year old homeowner (Bill), and we had a delightful conversation.  Bill and his wife of a lifetime, Delores, purchased their home in 1962 for $45,000, and even at that time it was a great price.  We sat and talked in the living room of their gorgeous home.  Today this

How to Get Insulted

Thursday, 11 March 2010 by

Have you ever been insulted by someone who apparently insults people all the time, but doesn’t even know it?  I had a law school study partner who was brilliant, but without even trying he would insult people almost every day.  I sold a house to a very sharp client who told me an interesting story.

From Los Angeles

It's rare, but once in awhile life provides the perfect collaborator for an important endeavor such as buying your new home. For me that person was Chuck Marunde. His two decade background as a Real Estate Attorney, his prolific career as an author of articles and books on Real Estate and his forthright and moral character made choosing Chuck a no-brainer. Chuck is dedicated, thorough, incredible at the negotiating table, knowledgeable about all local laws & regs but, most importantly, Chuck loves what he does. And what he does is find his client the perfect property. Chuck isn't about making the sale, he's about making the sale that is OPTIMUM for his CLIENT and this makes Chuck a rare bird indeed. I love my new home in Sequim and I am indebted to Chuck for making it happen. Kevin E.

From Seattle

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chuck over the past three years in selling my parent's estate. It was a tough time to sell during the housing recession, but Chuck always kept things on the positive side. With his real estate law background, he offers sound, practical advice. He helps you along with the process using discussions and reason, rather than opinions and speculations. If Chuck doesn’t know the answers, he will get them for you. In several instances, Chuck took the initiative to meet with county officials to get up-to-date facts about zoning and regulations. I was always impressed with his company’s tech savvy communi-cations and internet presence: weekly email updates, blogs, videos, links, Linked-in networking, etc. He is truly pioneering the future of buying & selling real estate. Brian M.

From California

"Andy Romano is a successful motion picture character actor with over 40 years in 'the Biz.' Mr. Romano has a home in beautiful Santa Barbara, California, but he chooses to live most of the time in Sequim, Washington on the Olympic Peninsula in the great Pacific Northwest. Why? In his own words, 'Because it's even more beautiful and surrounded by more beauty in this incredibly peaceful and quiet place. With respect to real estate agents or brokers, well my friend Chuck Marunde, owner of Sequim and Port Angeles Real Estate, is hands down the best there" Andy R.
