gilbert arizona homes for sale: Then Why Ask? - 09/13/24 12:07 PM

We have all had frustrating experiences concerning our automobiles (I will get to Real Estate). Last week I called our local Big O Tires to get several things looked over. I called Big O because I know the owner and the service had been sterling, I even wrote a raving review last year. My appointment was a week away for today. I knew because of the length of the list they would need it all day.

When I got to Big O I greeted the owner and the man I spoke to as they came around the corner from the shop. … (3 comments)

gilbert arizona homes for sale: What Makes a Reverse Mortgage Unique? - 09/12/24 11:06 AM

What makes a Reverse Mortgage different from other home equity loans?
A reverse mortgage is a non-recourse loan and that means that the home is held as collateral and is responsible for repayment of the loan – not the borrower.

Unlike other loans, no Principal and Interest mortgage payment is required.
The borrower can earn compound interest on their home … (0 comments)

Remembering and Honoring Those Lives Lost

Let us always remember, honor and love every single one of the innocent people whose lives were cut short on 9-11 by the evil, heinous actions of cowardous terrorists. I have a list of all of them but it was too long for this post.

I recall the day well when readying for work while listening to the local radio station. In disbelief, the host shakily stated that one of the Twin Towers was hit by a plane, I turned on the TV and sure enough there was footage!

gilbert arizona homes for sale: Understanding the Appraisal Gap - 09/09/24 08:28 AM

Understanding the Appraisal Gap: A Smart Strategy in a Competitive Market
In a hot real estate market, how do you make your offer stand out? One effective tactic savvy buyers are using is the appraisal gap strategy.
An appraisal gap occurs when a buyer is willing to pay more than the appraised value of a property—up to a specific dollar amount. This strategy is particularly useful in a multiple-offer situation, helping your offer rise to the top when competing against others. For example, if a property is listed at $300,000 and you agree to pay up to $5,000 over the appraised … (2 comments)

I love the Pride of Barbados Plant that is in abundance, growing in Austin. I love walking in the mornings because our community landscapers have planted a number of them. I was walking with a friend the other morning and she told me she takes the pods that are brown, removes them and places them in a brown bag until the spring and then removes the seeds in the pods and plants them!
I didn’t know to do this so now have secured some brown pods, putting them in a brown bag and can’t wait to plant them next spring! She … (1 comments)

Every Wednesday we plan to share our most recent visit to the PHOENIX ZOO. We have been members for seven years, it is the best $169.00 a year we have ever spent.

We hope you enjoy some wonderful photos and stories.
