FOUNTAIN HILLS ARIZONA Fountain Hills is a town in Maricopa County. It is located between Scottsdale and the Fort McDowell Indian Reservation.  The world renowned fountain was built in 1970 by Robert P. McCulloch who also reconstructed the London Bridge in Lake Havasu.  The fountain erupts from a water lily sculpture in the middle of a large manmade lake once each hour for fifteen minutes and can reach a height of 560 feet Unlike neighboring Scottsdale, Fountain Hills homes can be widely spaced and in a more rural setting with awe inspiring vista views.

Today I had a fellow business owner stop in my office to see how things were going. He has an mid to upper range designer flooring business. We started chatting about how slow things were and he told me a story about a client that he had given a quote to for carpeting in their home. He had quoted this client a price based on 98 yards of carpet and had given the client a nice discount in the quote. The client called him and said "well I measured and I came up with 90 sq. yds". My friend said I will be happy to come over and show you how and why we came up with 98 sq. yds. The client then replied that this was not necessary but still only wanted to be charged for 90 sq. yds. Now I am not a large real estate company and my fellow flooring company neighbor is not a large company either, bet... 02/16/2009

In today's home selling market it helps to have a competitive edge. Your home needs to stand out not only in the buyer's mind; it must somehow touch an emotional cord. It must make them feel that they want to call home. Buyers are looking for a house that they can make into their home. They need to fall in love. To fall in love they must be attracted to the house. Houses are made of sticks and stones. They are not personal. Homes are made of people, memories and emotions. They are very personal. That's why it is so important to prepare your house to sell. It involves 1.      giving the buyers the opportunity to create their own vision about how they could live in the house by depersonalizing the house 2.      making the rooms look larger 3.      making the buyer feel confident about the... 02/02/2009

When a Lender is forced to foreclosure on a property and it acquires title to that property through the foreclosure process the property is then commonly referred to as an "REO". "REO" is an acronym for "Real Estate Owned". In dealing with an REO property the process is essentially the same as dealing with an individual, non-institutional Seller. Often, but not necessarily always, the Listing price on an REO property can represent a bargain for a Buyer. As your exclusive agent it will be my responsibility to do the research necessary to determine if an REO Listing price is (i) at market, (ii) above market, or (ii) represents a bargain price. The primary difference between an REO sale and a sale of property owned by an individual is in the disclosure and due diligence process. An REO Sel... 01/17/2009

A Short Sale is a sale of property at a listed price that is less than the existing financing debt on the property. Unlike a foreclosed property the Buyer is dealing with a Seller who still owns the property the market value of which is less than the financing debt on the property. The very first thing a Buyer needs to understand is that a purchase of property that is a short sale cannot be completed without the Lender, or Lenders approval. This process of obtaining approval can, and usually does vary, amongst the very numerous Lenders who are holding mortgages on residential properties. In describing the approval process a Buyer can assume the following: The Listing agent will be representing the Seller in dealing with the Seller’s Lender (or Lenders, if there is more than one financin... 01/13/2009

  In my on going effort as your Exclusive Buyer’s Representative in Fountain Hills and the Scottsdale area, I am continually researching information regarding Mortgage financing. Today my research revealed the following rate information from the National Association of Realtors;   The National Association of Realtors reports on January 9 that mortgage rates have fallen to “all time lows”.             The average 30-year rate was 5.01 per cent.               The 15-year fixed rate dropped to 4.62.               One of the benefits of having your own exclusive Buyer’s Broker is that I am always monitoring Mortgage rates. I am obtaining rates from local mortgage brokers and Lenders on an ongoing basis in order to keep you informed. As a result I have access to current rate quotes which wi... 01/10/2009

In today's marketplace our buyers need all the help they can get and as agents for buyers we need to be aware of some of the great financing programs that are available to potential buyers.

When trouble comes it can bring out the best and the worst in people. In our little town we've seen how tragedy binds us together as a community.  Last year there were 2 letters in The Times from residents thanking the whole community for their support through some tragic circumstances.   This kind of caring & togetherness is part of what makes our small town of Fountain Hills such a special place in which to live. But in the worst of times there are those unsavory individuals who take advantage of people who are struggling.  Foreclosure rescue scams are aimed at people about to lose their homes. These criminals trick the home owners into signing the title of their house away. They promise to pay off  the homeowners' debt and let the homeowners continue to live in the house.     When pe... 01/07/2009

The dictionary says the word process means "A series of actions, changes, or functions bringing about a result". Thus the reason I refer to the "Short Sale" being a circus instead of a process. Here is how I see it at least in the deals we are working on in Fountain Hills, AZ. In the left ring we have the Sellers, in the far right ring we have the Buyers and in the center ring we have the Ringmaster. . oops the Lender. Let the show begin. In the first act the buyers have already performed, they just want to buy a home and in good faith have submitted their offer along with their pre-approval letter. In the second act we have the Sellers, they have accepted the buyers offer and only want to get the deal done and avoid a foreclosure. In the center ring we have the lender and this is where... 01/04/2009
