When is a comp a comp? - 06/28/12 02:17 PM
All professions have different "lingos." One of the words people in the real estate profession will use is comps - short for comparable properties. But, what is a comparable property? Some people seem to have a different perception.
For recent buyers, I pulled up "comps". The subject they were possibly interested in is 1800 SF with a 2 car garage and pool. It is located on an acre lot on a horrible dirt road in an area which is zoned for horses. It used to be zoned rural/county land until the tract home developers moved into the … (19 comments)

Is that a fair price for that home? We want to put in an offer - 06/27/12 09:33 PM
I'm working with two sets of pre-approved clients to help them find their next home in Scottsdale and Cave Creek AZ. After looking at homes over the weekend, both couples found great homes - the homes meet all their needs, they're updated or at least extremely clean and show well, and they're both starting to compare "other homes" to those. Both couples asked me tonight, "Is that a fair price for that home? We'd like to put in an offer."
As an experienced Scottsdale and Cave Creek Realtor®, here's where my knowledge not only of the area, but the prices comes … (41 comments)

I'm bummed - that home went to contract and it was our favorite - 06/18/12 09:07 PM
When working with potential buyers, I will spend one day "shopping" with them - viewing homes, seeing what's out there, getting a feel for their likes and wants. But, after that, if the buyers are not pre-approved for their new home loan, then we're just burning tire rubber and wasting precious gas (particularly at almost $4.00 a gallon.)
I got an email tonight from some buyers I'm working with. It started out with, "I'm bummed - that home in Tatum Ranch went to contract and it was our favorite." This is why it's not a good idea to … (44 comments)

Leave no feline behind at the AZ Humane Society - 06/18/12 10:46 AM
On Saturday, I was asked to be a guest on the AZ Humane Society's "Pet's On Parade" TV show which airs weekly at 12:30 PM on Channel 3, KTVK. It was certainly fun and I really learned a lot.
One thing I learned about is the "Leave No Feline Behind" program. Currently, the AZ Humane Society is filled to capacity with kittens and cats and they are waiving all adoption fees for kittens and cats. They are asking for any monetary donation.
So, if you have one of those children who is always begging for a pet, why not … (16 comments)

Thanks but could you PLEASE love me a little less? Life in Arizona - 06/14/12 06:22 AM
Many of you know I have two wonderful dogs, Cody and Jesse. About once a week or two, they seem to find things to bring me as a "present" just to show how much they love me. One week, it's a dead bird, the next a bunny - you pet parents know how it is - they're so proud of themselves.
Typically, upon coming in through the full sized human door (no doggy doors needed for these guys), they run into my home office looking for their morning treat. I should've realized something was up when they … (26 comments)

Everything is brown is the desert - or is it? Life in the desert - 06/13/12 07:20 AM
The other evening, I was enjoying the wonderfully cool weather on the shaded patio when I heard a very distinct bird call. It actually sounded like the bird kept saying "pretty, pretty, pretty." So, I looked around to find what was making this very unique sound. Here's what I found:
So, no, not everything in the desert is brown. But, the question is - what is an Arizona Cardinal doing in the tree of a Chicago Bears fan? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I hope everyone's having a great week.

What types of Hardwood Flooring are best for pets - Westchester NY and Stamford CT - 06/10/12 08:48 PM
One of the best things about Active Rain are the wonderful people here and the information they provide us. I was showing homes to home buyers today and three of the homes they liked had hard wood flooring. They were concerned what their 4 dogs would do to the floors. I knew just who to turn to - Debbie Gartner - "the Flooring Girl." I sent her an email through ActiveRain and she took the time to look in her amazing amount of informative blogs and sent this to me.
Debbie - I can't tell you how much I appreciate your … (6 comments)
