A few years ago she created a series of photos from photographing drops of water and the splash that they would make. I absolutely loved what came from this and I am sure that everyone else will too, so I wanted to share them in the Rain.

How often are we told to draw up real estate listing agreements or purchase contracts by sellers or buyers and then nothing happens?  Often this seems like hurry, hurry, wait, wait.We know that we have established and confirmed good relationships with our clients who have shared they trust us.  And yet, these documents remain unsigned. Sometimes our clients are busy, but they still want to sign the listing agreements or purchase contracts. Maybe the clients are waiting for wire transfers to show proof of funds to signatures of other principals involved in the transaction to even becoming ill. Regardless of the reason, we as professional real estate agents must demonstrate patience in our behaviors.Yes, internally we are thinking these real estate listing agreements or purchase contracts...

Often professional real estate agents hear of first time home buyers dreaming of buying a home. Yet, these potential home buyers fail to understand that “dream” demands  saving sacrifices.  An immediate sit down by those first time home buyers is required to review wants and needs versus actual financial behaviors.These saving sacrifices might include a review of these purchases: Cable and other subscriptions   Internet Clothing   Household   Mobile devices Vehicle from payments to fuel to insurance Dining out    Fast food including expensive morning coffee Consider, that expensive morning coffee has an average cost of around $4.00. Presuming a 5 day work week, those purchases would amount to $20.00.  With 50 weeks for a typical worker, that amounts to $1,000 annually.The question after...

Every house deserves a name doesn't it? Hey we name other things, don't we? How about your car? "Old Betsy". Your baseball bat? "Wonderboy" from the movie "The Natural".   Have you noticed that people often NAME their HOUSE after some specific attribute that the house is known for? Hey as your Buyer's REALTOR® this is a service that I can help you with at no extra charge! If I show you 6 homes you may not be able to remember the addresses, but you can remember attributes of the homes.   For example, I even hear buyers name the house they want a second or third showing of, such as:   1. The Creek House 2. The White Picket Fence House 3. The Garden House 4. The Pool Slide House 5. The Chef's Kitchen House 6. The Man Cave House 7. The Front Porch House 8.

 - December 2024 Scottsdale Housing Market Video - Here is a quick video overview of the Scottsdale, Arizona single-family home real estate market that covers the month of December. December 2024 - Video    Scottsdale Active Listings  Active listings fell at the end of December. We see this happen seasonally since some sellers take their homes off of the market for the holidays and many listing contracts expire at the end of the year. We saw a drop of 17.9% in listings between November and December. However, inventory was up 10.5% when compared with December 2023.  Average List Price for Scottsdale Homes  I used to use median listing price data, but I no longer have accurate access to that information. Instead, I will track average listing prices. (Technically, the median price is a bet...
