tucson: Do you Recycle Your Grease?
- 11/02/20 09:45 AM
You can, yes you can!
I tend to pour mine in a can and refrigerate, throwing away when hard, but this can be trickier when it's a FryDaddy that needs changing, or something larger.
Tucson area residents can participate in the Recycle your Cooking Grease event just after the new year! January 9, 2021
Save your used cooking fats, oil and grease to drop off at the free 16th Annual Grease Collection & Recycling Event, Saturday, January 9, 2021.
I'm sure you know, cooking grease in your kitchen should never be poured down the drain. Instead, store it in containers and bring it to the 16th … (2 comments)

tucson: Neighborhood Food Drive for Southern AZ Community Food Bank
- 09/15/20 10:52 AM
When I was young, err...younger, my mother had a phrase that became one of those life habits. To paraphrase,
"When life is giving you lemons, look around. There are always those that are less fortunate than you."
Unfortunately, that's very true. And, right now, there are a whole lot of folks living in metropolitan Tucson needing our help.
That's why we're hosting a food drive.
Fairway Mortgage and Long Realty are teaming up to help the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona.
Let's make others' reality a little bit better so they, too, can reach for their dreams.

tucson: Working With The Long Realty Team
- 09/09/20 11:56 AM
When I initially talk teams with my clients, I first address the relationship between you and me. After all, communication is KING and facilitates the many moving parts in any Real Estate transaction.
I like to identify best time of day, phone, text or email, and so forth. We talk about holidays. Work weeks. After hour communications. I share that I love a paper trail and don't expect you to remember all of the details that I find so riveting. So, I'll send a recap of most conversations just for the record.
But there's even more to a team than meets the eye.

tucson: Phoenix or Tucson: What's the Difference?
- 07/16/20 09:26 AM
Folks moving to Arizona from other parts of the country often ask, "What is the difference between Tucson and Phoenix"? Now that's a pretty broad question, and one that could be addressed with PAGES of info, but I'll see what I can summarize in a few hundred words, in my own humble opinion.
1. Please know I'm biased. I live in Tucson. I love Tucson. I do not intend to LEAVE Tucson voluntarily. :)
To me, Tucson is a great big sprawling town. A city where so many of us are from somewhere else. A place where you can hear "howdy ma'am" and … (13 comments)

This gated, luxury community is sure to steal your breath away. From the moment you advance from the tunnel through the mountainside, you are met with desert splendor and serenity.

Persian Room Fine Dining in Tucson, AZ
My husband and I recently celebrated a closing with client friends at the Persian Room Fine Dining located on 9290 N Thornydale Road, Ste. 100, Tucson, AZ 85742 520-744-1414
I must admit that I'm a sucker for atmosphere. I'm not one of those wild about entering one large noisy room with little or no privacy for eating. Right away I liked that this one was set up in an L shape, and that there was plenty of decor and room dividers to help diners feel a little more intimate.
They had a friendly hostess at the door … (2 comments)

So there's your history lesson!

tucson: Selling your Home - What do Your Walls Say About You?

Selling your Home - What do Your Walls Say About You?
Yesterday I enjoyed another weekly home tour with available listings for sale in Dove Mountain, Marana, AZ. We saw homes priced from $300,000 up to 1.4 million.
One of the things that enters my mind when looking for a new home with a buyer is...what mind set is the seller in? Are they motivated to sell, or are they just listing to "see what happens"?
One of the advantages of a home tour is, we can ask a question like, "Why is the seller moving". When I ask that question on behalf of … (1 comments)

tucson: Taco Tuesday!!!!
- 03/20/18 10:17 AM
Our family is having a theme night this weekend, complete with food, costumes, adult beverages, games, and blind tastings. We started this about 6 months ago and had kicked off with a German Night.
So this weekend I was in Party City, checking to see if there was anything else I "needed" for this weekend and came across this Taco Hat.
Family time is the best time - does your work schedule include down time??
On the same "theme" we love, love, love the margaritas at Dove Mountain Brewery in Marana. We enjoyed some Tacos there last night, in fact. And yes, it specializes in … (4 comments)

tucson: Introducing Marana Chamber Member: E-Konomy Pool Service & Supplies
- 03/09/18 09:23 AM
We've been personally using E-Konomy Pools Service and Supplies since we bought our new home and are the happy owners of a large, sparkling pool.
During our ownership, the pump has broken, the surrounding deck has been resurfaced, we've gone through the monsoon season, and more.
Our pool has never been cloudy, dirty, stinky -- less than swimable -- once.
We attribute this to the care and concern of our pool technician, part of E-Konomy Pools. When we needed a new pump, we went to E-konomy.
We've found fair prices, good service, and excellent customer care.
For all your future pool needs, consider giving E-Konomy Pools Service … (0 comments)
