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...

It's The Last Day Of Summer In Arizona!Know what that means? In general, many Zonies will be glad that the triple digits will be waning (soon).  Bring on the 90ºs.  In the next month, the Snowbirds will be setting up camp and enjoying that wonderful warm winter sunshine that you only get in the sunbelt states.  The most popular states for that migration of Snowbirds are Florida and Arizona. Sedona is a transition area.  Many people have second homes in Sedona to get away from the extreme temperatures of the cold or very warm climates.    In Soldier's Pass West Sedona, as in some past years,  our last day of 100.3º was on August 5th, 2021!  When there is a lot of thunderstorms, the temperatures rarely go over 100º.  This year *Sedona experienced the 4th best monsoon in the last 11 years....

Gone are the days when anyone could buy a home with just a promise and signature. No documentation loans allowed virtually anyone to buy a house with no money down with just a simple credit check. After the mortgage meltdown, this all changed. Lenders tightened guidelines and down payments were back. But how much do you actually need? Must you always find 20% down? The answer might surprise you; there are many ways to buy a home with less than 20% down payment.   0% Down – There are still two loan programs which allow one to buy a home for no down payment; the VA loan and the USDA loan. The VA loan requires the borrower to be a qualified service person or veteran and the USDA loan is for certain areas under the Department of Agriculture.   5% Down – Conventional loans with loan limit...

Cottonwood Arizona - The Biggest Little City in Arizona What Do Mae West, John Wayne, Burt Lancaster & Elvis Presley Have Common With Cottonwood?It was the 1800's and the land rush was on in Northern Arizona.  Farmers & ranchers were looking for land to start a new life. The Verde Valley looked promising, so many settled in the area.  Other people were looking to establish businesses and homes in the area to support these settlers.  They decided to establish the town we know as  Cottonwood today. Cottonwood got its name from the (Cottonwood) trees that line the Verde River behind the historical Sheriff's Office and Jail. In the early 1900s, other more unsavory characters, who were driven out of the company (mining) towns such as Clarkdale, decided to give Cottonwood ago.  The town devel...

 Javelinas On Parade ~ Sedona Arizona  I got the idea to revitalize this post from the post "Having Whimsy In Our World" by Kathy Streib.  Everyone should have a little whimsy in their world! Inside the Sedona Rouge Hotel & Spa is their restaurant "Reds". I like to go there with clients and my husband because it is quiet and you can conduct business easily.  Besides, the food and service are good!  Right in the hotel foyer, you can find the artwork in the featured image above. Back in 2005, Sedona decided to answer a call to Chicago's "Cows on Parade" which was established in 1999. In Chicago, you would see cows painted in different artistic ways.  I read that someone in Chicago saw a display like this in Switzerland! Here in Sedona, highway construction was about to begin so the Chambe...

It seems that everywhere you turn there are companies who advertise buying ugly houses. These messages offer to quickly buy any house, regardless of the condition. The problem is that their offers are often significantly below market value. If you’re a seller whose home needs some attention, you might think these companies are your only option. Some of the offers sound attractive; quick sale, all cash, no commissions, and no fees. But before you do anything, it’s worth your time to call a local REALTOR® for a second opinion.   * Don't forget, I AM a REALTOR®     3 Reasons to Call a REALTOR® Now!   1.

It's easy to just crank up the air conditioning during the hottest months of summer. Sure, the energy bill may be higher, but it's worth the extra expense to keep your home cool — right? Or are there any sure-fire ways to save money and stay cool indoors? Before you reach for the thermostat, try these DIY energy-saving tips to keep your home comfortable and keep you from breaking the bank. 1. Raise the A/C Temperature — Yes, Really It's better to keep the air conditioning down, but if you want to keep it on, raise the thermostat to a comfortable temperature. When you're at home (or have buyers viewing your home), set the thermostat to 78 degrees Fahrenheit (25 Celsius). When you're away, set the thermostat to 85 Fahrenheit (29 Celsius). The trick is to find the temperature that's comfo...

Recent interior design trends have focused on one primary era or design scheme. Mid-century modern furniture and accents have dominated the magazine covers and home shows as decorators have worked with their clients to bring this trend into their spaces. Yet, what to do about the beautiful antique chest from your grandma or the dining room table you inherited from your mom? These pieces of history seem to have no place in modern design and have been relegated to storage units and garages over the past decade. Well, it’s time to pull them out again as design trends are moving away from stark modern schemes to a warm, eclectic look. The main principle in merging design styles is to focus on one unifying element— like warm wood tones or the high sheen of gold accents—and then look for pie...
