"Let's Make a Deal" - how NOT to buy real estate - 08/31/10 12:25 AM
Today, while I was grabbing a quick sandwich in between doing a few BPO's, fielding phone calls on 3 of my listings and negotiating 2 purchase contracts, I caught a few seconds of Let's Make a Deal on TV and it reminded me of the couple I was working with over the weekend.
On the TV show, there was a couple standing next to Wayne Brady and they were trying to decide between choosing the box or the curtain.  The audience was screaming, they were looking around for friends or family to help them make their decision, all the while in silly … (13 comments)

My favorite restaurant in north Scottsdale, Az - where to eat in Scottsdale, AZ - 08/30/10 12:04 AM
Gianfranco's in north Scottsdale did it AGAIN!!!
I had a yearning for shrimp and we decided to go to Gianfranco's
at Jomax and Alma School in north Scottsdale.
I ordered the Shrimp Classico.
WOW - what flavors.
The shrimps were HUGE and not over cooked.
Sometimes this dish can be greasy and overpowering - not Chef Gianfranco's.
It was heaven in my mouth!!
Serving all styles of Italian cuisine,
if you're looking for the best,
try Gianfranco's - you won't be disappointed - I'm not!!!

Need an appliance repair company in Phoenix, AZ area? - 08/23/10 10:10 AM
I am pleased to recommend Goldwing Appliance Factory Service if you need work on your home appliances. They have come out to our house on three different occasions and every time was a pleasant surprise.
First, they called with a 2 hour window, then showed up on time.  Then, the repairman who came in was neat in appearance and very professional.  In all three cases, one for out dishwasher and the other two for the washer, he knew his stuff.  He fixed the problem and explained to us in non-technical terms what was wrong. 
On Friday, he came for the washing … (1 comments)

Actual MLS photos - listings in Arizona - 08/20/10 06:14 PM
I'm thinking these photos should have been left in the computer and not made it to the internet - what do you all think?

Does this enhance the price of the home by throwing in a free car?

That one above is the "front" photo of this listing.

My reason - it's 2 hours drive each way and it's on a weekday.

Professionalism from the tenant's side, a tale of two tenants, renting in Scottsdale, AZ - 08/17/10 02:41 AM
This week, I was working with two couples looking for long term rentals in Scottsdale, AZ.
The first couple called me, told me their range of what they wanted to pay for their monthly rent and when they needed to move.  They had a few neighborhoods within the same school district they were interested in.
The other couple told me the same things and limited their search to one small subdivision.
For both couples, I pulled up all the comps in their price range and by availability.  I sent them a list by email and followed up with a phone call.

Open house strategies - questions for everyone - 08/10/10 10:38 PM
Recently, I held a "group" open house in a guard gated community here in Scottsdale, AZ.  It was a big occasion because until recently, the HOA's wouldn't allow us to hold open houses - EVER.  That law was changed recently here in Arizona and they can't stop us. 
So, being the "rebels" we are, we planned a "group" open house with one main house and 6 other vacant homes on lock box.  It was a success and we're all working with new, potential buyers.
The issue that came up was do you escort the lookers through the house or greet them at … (3 comments)

Where to eat in north Scottsdale, AZ; a great restaurant in Scottsdale, AZ - 08/09/10 02:18 PM
I have written about this restaurant before, but it's worth another mention.
Gianfranco's in north Scottsdale (Alma School and Jomax) is one of the best Italian restaurants in the entire Phoenix, Arizona area. 
Chef Gianfranco personally oversees the food preparation and makes sure each dish is consistantly DELICIOUS.  I like to start with Harry's Bar for an appetizer or his Caprese salad, always made with the freshest mozzarella and luscious heirloom tomatoes.  (I sure wish he'd let me know where he gets those glorious tomatoes.)

If you're looking for a compassionate and capable veterinarian in the DC Ranch area of Scottsdale, AZ, I highly recommend Dr. Julie Bartz of DC Ranch Animal Hospital.  Dr.  Bartz and her staff are AWESOME and their caring attitudes really come through from the moment you call for your first appointment until you leave with your loved pet. 
They also offer grooming services and are expanding to another groomer due to their growing business. 
They're growing for a reason - because Dr. Bartz cares.

Buying foreclosures - two safety tips - 08/07/10 10:37 PM
As an experienced REO agent in Arizona, this last week gave me two scares and I wanted to share my experiences with you.
I was doing an interior evaluation of one property when I heard the garage door open and the previous homeowner just walked in the door.  The bank had changed the locks, but hadn't reset the automatic garage opener.  Most of us have the garage opener in our car now with a little button. 
If you're buying a foreclosure, or any home, make sure that's one of the first things you do.  If you don't see a reset button … (6 comments)

Short Sale Contracts - IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 08/03/10 10:21 AM
I just received an email from one of my short sale negotiators at a VERY large mortgage bank.  Effective immediately, if the home you're selling is in foreclosure proceedings, the contract MUST have a closing date at least 5 days PRIOR to the scheduled foreclosure date (10 days prior in Florida) or the contract WILL BE DENIED OUTRIGHT!!!!
While this is one bank, I would suggest you check with any banks you are currently or intend to negotiate a short sale and see if this applies to them.  We all know they have little triggers that will just shut down the … (0 comments)

When I first joined Activerain, I really didn't know what to expect or what to do.  Then, I kept reading the great blogs and all the helpful information provided by members here.
