cara mancuso 5209092988: Integrity - What it Means when Choosing a REALTOR®
- 05/03/24 11:41 AM
What are the attributes you want with your Real Estate Agent? The first entry of the Business Dictionary defines integrity as the “Strict adherence to a moral code, reflected in transparent honesty and complete harmony in what one thinks, says, and does.”
Integrity is all about doing the right thing, even when nobody's watching. In real estate, it's like the golden rule—treat others how you'd want to be treated. You can take that one step further and expect to be treated they way YOU would like to be treated. When you're honest, ethical, and upfront in everything you do, it builds trust. … (6 comments)

Yes, I admit it.
I have a lonely house.
I'm not sure why - it beckons near the cul-de-sac of a lovely, gated community in Oro Valley, surrounded by views and mountains and all the things that make our area special.
It's not too big - not too small. Clocking in at just over 3000 square feet, it offers versatility in floor plan. There's a formal dining area, should you choose to make it so. The current owners enjoy their Baby Grand piano versus another eating area when there's one attached to the open kitchen and island plan. In addition, there's an extra study, … (4 comments)

Finding the right real estate agent is crucial when navigating the myriad details of buying or selling your home, often one of the largest transactions in your life. You'll want a REALTOR who not only possesses the necessary education but also exudes compassion and excellent communication skills.
It's essential to recognize that not all real estate agents are cut from the same cloth. If you're a type A personality, your ideal match might differ from someone with a right-brained, creative disposition. Likewise, if you're a dreamer seeking a connection on a spiritual level, a strictly analytical, by-the-book agent might not be the … (5 comments)

cara mancuso 5209092988: 3 Spring Cleaning Tips - Amended a Bit!
- 03/15/23 01:15 PM
I was reading an online article today about three ways to jumpstart my spring cleaning, and I decided to amend it a bit.
Number One was to change our central heating filters. I don't know about you, but every professional I have spoken to always says "Buy the cheap ones, because the air flow is good, and change them every time you pay your utility bill". So if you haven't changed your filters since the weather turned cold...perhaps you might want to make a new, new years resolution! Change often!!!

A year ago, my business partner and fellow Realtor, Betty Covey, opened the doors on our partnership. We'd worked together 10 years at Long Realty in Tucson AZ, (and many years experience in different places before that) and started discussing through 2019, Covid 2020, and 2021 what our business would look like.
One year, and one week ago today, we "opened" our own doors with our co-owned real estate company here in Tucson, the Golden Girls with SW Desert Homes.

There are a lot of negative articles out there about there about interest rates, the fall of housing, a bubble, and so-forth. As a buyer or seller, it's hard to weed-out the reality.
However, there are some real truths.
Yes, interest rates have all but doubled this year, but looking at the big picture that is real estate, they were also at 7% back in 1970. Your median house back then was $24,000. Now, according to the HUD Census, our National median house value is $429,000.

I met with a newer agent this week, struggling a bit with her career and lack of support. I tried to gently push her in directions where she can (1) add to her knowledge, as well as (2) get support.
My daughter - always sacrilegious - used to laughingly tell me I was very good at the "air of authority". I'll admit it, as a newbie I struggled to be competent, appear knowledgeable, and avoid that dreaded question, "How long have you been in Real Estate?" So -- I drew on my … (4 comments)

They are out with their owners early morn and after dark...our 100 degree temps aren't just hot - they are positively painful unless they are wearing protection on their feet!
For a brief history lesson, the Farmer's Almanac offers a definition regarding the Dog Days of Summer:
"This period of sweltering weather coincides with the year’s sunrise rising of Sirius, the Dog Star. Sirius is part of the constellation Canis Majoris—the “Greater Dog”—which is … (2 comments)
