tempe real estate: Lovebirds and Sunflowers
- 05/18/19 11:05 AM
These friends are visiting us now daily - for breakfast.
They seem to love the sunflower seeds very much, the leaves - ah, maybe.
We'll see if they will work on their greens, once the seeds are gone.
Rosy-faced lovebirds are not native to Arizona, but seem to be doing quite well here.

tempe real estate: Glimpses into Interior Design 2019 - Colors, Materials, Finishes
- 05/04/19 05:07 PM
This past week I missed a great class on recent trends in kitchen, living room and bathroom design. The organizer sent me her notes - it was interesting to read that the greys are going away.
I walked yesterday into the lobby of a Phoenix hotel and came across those summaries of colors, materials, furniture, accents and finishes. I felt grateful to the architects and interior designers who have created these presentations and have conveniently displayed them.
For me, it was a quick way to catch up on some items I had not completed on my week's calendar, plus I thoroughly … (7 comments)

What a treat I came across today, while shopping for my favorite geraniums at the Berridge Nurseries in Phoenix.
The Orchid Show was such a display of beauty, color, elegance, joy.
It seems there was some kind of competition as some of the orchids had a tag "First Place", "Second Place" ...
All were so beautiful!

tempe real estate: Twilight Photos of a Coming Soon Listing in Tempe
- 02/09/19 05:59 PM
I love taking twilight photos - it's a short window of time during which those photos can be taken as the natural light changes so quickly at this time of the day.
This is a coming soon listing - 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home which the Sellers are still metuculously renovating.
The easy-to-maintain gas fireplace came very handy today, when degrees were in the low fifties.

We expect the play pool to be finished next week - complete with pebble tech … (20 comments)

tempe real estate: New Camera, New Photo
- 10/24/18 07:42 AM
Paul Henderson "Update your profile photo" challenge came on the right time - just as I was testing my new camera. I asked somebody who rarely takes photos, my husband, to test it - and it seemed to have worked out for the challenge.
After a few snaps, my new October photo was created. The photo next to it, is my usual one, which I have been using on my marketing materials for the last couple of years.
The second photo was taken by a professional photographer several years ago. Later on a friend showed me how to remove the background and the logo/ … (21 comments)

tempe real estate: The Market Determines the Price of Your Home
- 09/10/18 08:15 AM
When going on a listing appointment, I know the #1 question the sellers want to ask me:
“What price do you think we can get for this house?”
It sounds like a simple question—but there are so many factors that can affect pricing, it’s not an easy one to answer.
Ultimately I tell sellers: the house is worth what the buyer wants to pay for it. The market determines value. As sellers, you can influence and control value to a certain extent—but if the housing market crashes next week, your house will probably be worth less. The … (4 comments)

Sunrises and Sunsets are pretty dramatic in Arizona - it's a symphony of colors ranging from reds and oranges to various shades of blue-grey and green.
