peoria arizon: Picture the Past
- 01/27/14 06:52 AM
Picture the past. Being an Arizona Native, the history of Arizona and all of its small towns is fascinating to me. Unfortunately many of these small towns are now considered Ghost Towns and have no one to tell of their history or take care of them. Therefore, they fall to hands of vandalism, looting and decay. Through one man’s eyes, their beauty and story has been captured.
“Ghost Towns of Arizona: Photography of Kurt Wenner” exhibit is being displayed at the Pueblo Grande Museum through August 30, 2014. Here you can experience this history of some of … (0 comments)

peoria arizon: Will the REAL Buyer Please Step Forward?
- 01/23/14 12:27 AM
Will the real buyer please step forward? When we meet with buyers, get to know them and their needs for the home they are looking for, it is important to find out who will be making the final decision about the purchase. Usually it is the person who you have talked with and he/she has made the decision to use you as their REALTOR. In some circumstaces, this is just not the case. Finding this out can be a hard lesson while you are showing potential homes to the buyer. Based on his/her wants and needs for a house, you show these potential … (0 comments)

She has a lot of plans for it - especially when her children come to visit. It was so nice to see everyone happy today! The buyer of another home … (4 comments)

- 01/07/14 11:48 PM
"Darn garage door quit working while we were moving in." is what my client started with on the phone. Then proceeds to tell me that while trying to get the garage door opener working again the entire mechanism fell from the garage ceiling and the garage door came crashing down. I can't exactly say the scene and words that came to my mind while he was telling me this story. I called the home warranty company, who said they would send someone out the following day. A new garage door opener, new garage door and some new drywall in the garage is what it is going to … (5 comments)

Please pull the shades! I guess I am having all the luck in the world with my client lately. We have seen some strange things as we have looked at homes for her to purchase. I shared with you all the day we walked in on teenagers having a good time in the master bedroom of one vacant home. My client had a really good sense of humor about that, but needless to say did not purchase that home. As we were standing by the back window in the upstairs loft area of the home she liked yesterday - discussing the possibilities of the back yard, she … (0 comments)
