Are closing costs negotiable?
2007-12-21 20:34:00 This question comes from a PropertyQube user, and having opened an escrow yesterday, it seemed appropriate: I saw a closing cost estimate and there were about 8 fees all adding up to a good amount of money. Are any of these fees negotiable? If so, do I negotiate before escrow or at the closing with escrow? There’s ... More About: Real Estate , Costs
2 widgets say good-bye from the Phoenix Area Real Estate blog
2007-12-19 07:48:00 For anyone that’s visited the blog recently, I’ve had what appeared to be some very slow response times. At first, I was blaming DNS configuration (or perhaps mis-configuration) that may have resulted from the DNS changes I was forced to do when my telecom provider recently changed my T1 into the office last Thursday. This evening, ... More About: Estate , Real Estate , Phoenix , Widgets , Blogging
Open House: A good way to sell your home in Phoenix?
2007-12-17 23:14:00 It wasn’t long ago, when I was attributing a decent percentage of my sales to the success of open houses. I had several sales that I could point to, in which the open house secured a buyer that otherwise would not have considered the home, or resulted in getting multiple offers ...

Ski season has arrived in Arizona
2007-12-13 00:52:00 It’s probably not hard to have noticed all of the many rain related posts among Phoenix area blogs over the past couple of weeks. Seems you couldn’t click past a single one of the many fine Arizona bloggers that didn’t reference all of the rain we’ve had at least once. Rain in December, has an added ... More About: Season
I was fired yesterday
2007-12-11 23:10:00 Russell Shaw advertises on his radio ads that, “If you don’t like me, fire me.” I don’t advertise that same slogan, but I do believe in the philosophy. I know a listing contract is an agreement entered into by 2 consenting parties (seller and brokerage), and that for the contract to be terminated, it also ...

Joining the BCS Bowl real estate blogging wager
2007-12-04 20:45:00 Lani Anglin, over on AgentGenius and ReRevealed, suggested a wager for real estate bloggers that would like to wager on their team in the BCS Bowl series. My team, the Arizona State University Sun Devils, didn’t get into a BCS game. I’m blaming that problem on the Rose Bowl committee’s selection of an unworthy team in ...

Two new blogs are on the Phoenix Area Real Estate blogroll
2007-12-04 19:58:00 Yesterday, as I was chatting with a colleague, and pointing out blogs of interest, I mentioned Shailesh Ghimore’s blog, Arizona Mortgage Guru. That’s when I realized it wasn’t even on my own blogroll. Sheesh, how pathetic of me. It was truly an oversight, which is now corrected. And then today, I was reading Joel Burlson’s the ...

Lease-Purchase Options: My least favorite transaction
2007-12-03 21:23:00 Today, I feel compelled to talk about a transaction type that I generally dislike and often seek to avoid: the lease-purchase option. This is because the new tenants we have in Laveen are my most recent run-in with a tenant that has been tossed a curve ball by this transaction in their past. To ...

Rain causes Saguaro to fall in Scottsdale
2007-12-01 20:28:00 As I left my home today, for a brief stop in the office, I noticed this saguaro (pronounced: s?·WAR·oh) had fallen over some time yesterday, as a result of the rain and resulting loose soil. Judging by the way it broke in two, I can only surmise that it fell down the slight hill, hit ... More About: Arizona , Rain , Scottsdale , Fall , Dale

The Biggest game of the year: ASU vs UofA

TPC Desert Course reopens as the TPC Champions Course
2007-11-28 00:00:00 Although I greatly enjoy playing golf, I don’t play very often. I’m optimistic that one day, after my kids are grown up, I’ll be able to retire and play regularly. Until then, I’ll just have to deal with being happy to play 3 or 4 times a year, and somehow shooting in the 90s. At any ... More About: Champions , Scottsdale , Desert , Champ

Unusual animal sightings in Scottsdale neighborhood
2007-11-11 02:57:00 This is unusual enough that I just have to write about it. Twice in the last week, I’ve almost run over a deer while driving through my subdivision. If you are reading this from some place other than the desert of Arizona , you may not think that all that unusual. But the deer in question ...
