realty: Animals of the MLS - 05/14/16 01:40 AM
Everyone has that one friend who always maintains a pleasant and easy going disposition no matter what life throws at them on a daily basis. I bet this week's featured pet on Animals of the MLS hasn't had a bad day in his life. Perfectly comfortable to be chubby and lovable the expression on our furry friends face tells you he doesn't have a care in the world and his owners are most likely as cool and calm as he is. I'd go out on a limb and guess this big-boned bulldog hasn't missed too many meals and judging by his closely guarded … (23 comments)

realty: Horse Property Homes for Sale in Gilbert, AZ - Update April 2016 - 05/13/16 02:08 AM
 
It's hard to believe that Gilbert, Arizona was once known as the "Hay shipping Capital of the World." Since the mid-90's Gilbert has experienced a growth explosion not only in population but also in business and commerce. The famous Gilbert railroad tracks that cut straight through the entire Town are still there and plenty of rail shipments find their way through the hustle and bustle of sprawling subdivisions, however, Gilbert is far from the sleepy farm town it used to be. 
Gilbert, Arizona is now the 4th largest Town in the entire State of Arizona. Encompassing just 72.6 square miles Gilbert has transformed itself from … (2 comments)

The most expensive home that sold in Arizona last week is a unique and not often seen design style here in the desert Southwest. A European countryside manor inspired luxury property was sold for $7.2 million dollars and took over three years on the open market before finding the right buyer. Cedar shake roofing, exterior shutters, second story dormers, and a light cream and green color palette are just a few of the visual and architectural differences between this home and it's surroundings. Situated on a 4.16 acre lot and situated in the middle of a citrus grove, the new owner will have … (18 comments)

realty: Animals of the MLS - 05/06/16 11:18 PM
Sometimes in life you get so tired that not even a stampeding herd of wild buffalo could get you to move. This week's featured pet on Animals of the MLS looks like he's old, tired, and comfortable enough not to worry about anyone taking his picture or even invading his space. The only sign that our furry friend cares one bit about the agent snapping photos is his one curious ear raised in the air. The rest of his body is settled in for a long snooze on his favorite area rug. Just about the only circumstance that could possible get this rotund canine to move … (23 comments)

Your neighborhood Home Owners Association will also establish the rules and laws in regards to the appearance of front yards throughout the community which will maintain the integrity and manicured look of the entire subdivision. Did your neighbor share with you their desire to paint the exterior of their home a bright yellow?

realty: Animals of the MLS - 04/30/16 03:14 AM
This week's star of Animals of the MLS reminds me of the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland who is famous for his tune, "I'm late, I'm late for a very important date".  Our furry friend seems to be afraid he's missing out on all the action happening in the house so he's rushing downstairs to join in the fun. Perhaps he heard some scuttling about and thought there was a good old fashioned game of tug-o-war going on without him. Maybe someone accidentally said the word "treat" and he flew down the steps to claim his snack of choice. No matter what … (20 comments)

realty: How many Chickens can I own in Gilbert, Arizona? - 04/26/16 09:44 AM
 
Urban farming is booming in Gilbert, Arizona. Driven by the Millennial generation, this age old standard of growing your own fruits and vegetables, combined with raising chickens to provide daily fresh eggs is more than just a passing trend. Younger, and even current generations, are becoming increasingly aware of the health hazards due to commercial pesticides used on crops and Genetically Modified Organisms(GMO's), which is any food product that has been altered at the gene level. 
To combat the escalation of potentially contaminated foods individuals and families are taking it upon themselves to put their hands back in the ground and take personal responsibility for providing organically grown … (31 comments)

realty: Animals of the MLS - 04/23/16 12:07 AM
We've got a blurry basset hound in this week's Animals of the MLS. This old fella looks like it was a chore just to walk all the way in to this room so that the could sniff out this stranger. The gray snout would indicate this seniors best days could be behind him but instincts still run strong and he wasn't about to let this agent go without a thorough investigation. Basset hounds are friendly, easy going dogs that get along well with other animals and children. In spite of it's short stature, however, these canines can weigh up to 80 lbs and deliver a boisterous bark which … (30 comments)

realty: The Most Expensive Home sold in Arizona last week - 4/19/16 - 04/19/16 01:58 AM
The most expensive home that sold in Arizona last week is a rustic, old-world home that seems strangely out-of-place and yet at the same time totally at home in it's desert location. The exterior follows a familiar Spanish architectural theme with smooth stucco walls and rounded corners along with a flat roof system and dark red tiles. The design style takes a turn with the heavy use of natural wood logs and stone that isn't indigenous to the area. A mix of classic desertscape along with vines and plants allowed to grow along walls and walk-ways provide a combination of greenery that … (18 comments)
