For everyone who donated plastic eggs, and candy for the eggs, thank you for your random act of kindness. You made tons of children smile!.

For the community for coming out and supporting Nicholas and his family in such beautiful spring weather! Being our 3rd Annual Egg Hunt, we have never had sunshine at our event and the crowd was huge to say the least! So “thank you” to everyone for understanding if your little one did not get tons of eggs (except for the 3-5 year old age group). We appreciate that you came out to support a local family and we hope you had fun as well!
For our local firefighters and law enforcement for stopping by during the event. What a great opportunity for the little ones to see the fire truck and police car and for a great photo op with the Easter Bunny!
For The Businesses Who Donated To Our Event:
Safeway of Sherwood: for the yummy donuts
Albertsons of Sherwood: for the wonderful baked goods
Starbucks: (outside of Safeway ) For the fantastic coffee, hot water and cream and sugar
Bruce McCammon Photography: for donating your time and energy to photograph our event. You are a wonderful photographer and we appreciate your help with capturing our event on camera
Get Spotted Video: for creating our Benefit Egg Hunt Video and our thank you egg hunt video. I can’t wait for next year’s video invitation!
To the City of Sherwood, Sherwood School District, Archer Glen Principal Mr. Pete Miller and PAC President Maia Agranoff, for giving us the opportunity to have the benefit egg hunt at Archer Glen. The site was perfect!

We are really excited to learn that as of March 31st 2009,
the McCabe Real Estate Group is currently in the Top 10 for sales production for John L. Scott agents in Oregon & SW Washington. Providing exceptional customer service to our clients has always been our #1 priority. We pride ourselves on being a professional group that does not have to constantly remind our clients or the general public of our sales numbers or rankings. Instead as experienced brokers, we hope that our exceptional customer service and our community involvement speaks for itself. It’s about you the customer and not us, even though we work hard at being a top producing broker team that provides above and beyond customer service to our real estate clients in and around Sherwood, Oregon (Washington & Yamhill Counties and the Portland Tri-County areas).
With our tough real estate market, we are thankful for our buyers and sellers and for being able to help them through the market challenges they are facing.
With house prices declining dramatically, last year alone we encouraged 7 of our sellers to rent their homes instead of continuing to try to sell them. Even though we did not get paid any commissions or get the numbers for our sales production goals, this was the best and right choice for our customers. Our philosophy has always been to put our client’s needs 1st and to continue to establish long and lasting relationships.
Our advice is always free and the McCabe Real Estate Group is here to answer your tough real estate questions or concerns. And if we can’t, we will always refer you to a resource that can.
So a sincere “thank you” from the McCabe Real Estate Group for helping us be ranked this 1st quarter of 2009 as being one of the TOP 10 John L. Scott agents for Oregon and SW Washington. We are grateful for your trust and continued business. Help us be #1 for 2009!
Remember,
“When you use the McCabe Real Estate Group, you strengthen your community.”
