I can take a winding journey through red rocks, White Mountains or somewhere in between on one of these scenic fall drives just a short distance from Phoenix. The picture above that is courtesy of Nate Kersch highlights a beautiful Autumn Roadway. Begin this scenic venture by driving northeast from Phoenix to the mountain town of Payson, climbing 4,000 feet into Rim Country.

It Has Been 10 Years!October 17th, 2011 to October 17th, 2021The image above was snapped by my husband well over 10 years ago.  It was my first day going to real estate school.  Rick ran out of the house while I was backing out of the garage and took a quick pic to commemorate the day.  Just a beginner at blogging...I started selling Sedona real estate back in January 2011.  I didn't know anything about ActiveRain.  I was introduced to it by another agent out of my office.  I mentioned it to my husband and he thought that joining AR would be good exposure.  It looked like the "google-juice" would be value-added.  That was more than 10 years ago.  Neither of us knew anything about blogging.  By today's standards, my first post was pretty embarrassing.  It was a copy and paste job with no... 10/17/2021

Village Park - Condo/TownhouseFor Sale Update:This Condo/Townhouse had many offers.  All were over the asking price.  Two were cash and two had loan contingencies.  We decided to do a Multiple Offer addendum to give every party a chance to give us their best and final offer.  Once this townhouse closes, I will reveal more of the negotiation process that we settled on.  My goal was to protect my seller through the process.  View the Tour  See Where This Townhome is Positioned  .03 Acres   |  3 BD  |  2 BATH  | |  Area 45   |   Village of Oak Creek   |  $1,524 Taxes/2020  |   BRAND NEW  Appliances  - Flooring - Paint - Fixtures Arizona Room - Covered Front Porch/PatioOff the primary bedroom is your own Arizona Room for those mild evenings or enjoying your morning coffee.  The Arizona Room... 10/18/2021

 It is fall, a time for transition. In Scottsdale, AZ fall is a time to put those hot summer days behind us and get back outdoors to enjoy the clear skies and cooler sunny days. As the weather mellows, we begin to welcome back visitors and many of our annual fall festivities. One fall festivity that has become a yearly event is The Pumpkin Patch at MacDonald's Ranch in North Scottsdale. Owned by the Richardson Family, MacDonald's Ranch has been a western-themed fun park that offers horseback riding, hayrides, and paintball outings since 1956. Each year the owners convert the ranch to The Pumpkin Patch for the month of October. They offer anxious pumpkin pickers a chance to find their favorite gourd at discount prices. While you are at The Pumpkin Patch you can visit the petting zoo. Bri... 10/13/2021
