I know it's Wordless Wednesday and this photo speaks all for itself, but how amazing that we can live in such beautiful places and sometimes take it for granted. With so much going on in the world from COVID to Politics we seem to be noticing less and less the beauty around us and all that we truly have to be thankful for. It's no wonder we often see the light at the end of the tunnel as the train coming to get us. Nature is so peaceful and so calming. How often do you get to sit with it? How often do you make time for it? Many are stuck in front of TV screens, computer monitors and cell phones. We sit there like something is going to change and in some ways it does. But, the only real thing that changes is our mindset and how we start to look at the world or the things around us becaus... 11/11/2020

The Lake Arrowhead Real Estate market is hot. There seems to be more buyers than sellers, but when homes are listed at the right price and the house is marketed correctly, you attract the right buyers for the sale.

This is why you want and need an experienced, licensed Realtor working for you.  This home went pending in 18 days. Why? Because it was priced right it's features were marketed and it was marketed to the right buyers. If you want to sell your home, give me a call. No hassle, no obligation and no fuss.

I see some of the coolest things in my travels but the wildlife is one of my favorites. Here is Mommy and baby deer ( little old Bambi :) ) just out for a stroll in the gorgeous weather! Some cool facts that I learned about deer ( because I love to google stuff ) is that the first deer was found about 4 million years ago. Wait, what? Yep. Scientist believe that deer once inhabited bitter-cold regions around the artic circle.Deer are also the only animal that has antlers and they are the fastest growing living tissue on earth. Antlers are mainly on male deer however, other species like the caribou, the females can also have antlers. Another fun fact....The caribou (aka reindeer) have been domesticated! Who wouldn't love to have a reindeer as a pet?   10/28/2020

I know it's an odd title and even more of an odd question. But, I am addressing this because I've had a lot of first time home-buyers make statements like " I've been renting for years, why is it so hard to get a mortgage when I've been paying for years" or a statement like " It's like jumping through hoops to get a mortgage. I've been paying rent, isn't it the same thing?". Actually, no it's not. It isn't the same at all. In fact renting a home is very different than owning a home. Here is why.  First, when you are renting you are paying someone Else's mortgage and/or providing a second income or savings for the homeowner in the event there home is paid for. Regardless of whether you pay rent or not, the homeowner still has an obligation to his mortgage, taxes, insurance and repairs. W... 09/17/2020

We are still learning a lot about Prescott, AZ, but the journey has been amazing. The night sky is absolutely beautiful, in fact, picture perfect. Prescott, AZ living is surely different than what I am accustom to on the mountain in Lake Arrowhead, but the beauty is impeccable. While both areas are beautiful in their own way, you really cannot compare the two because they are each so unique.  I love strolling through downtown Prescott and seeing all of the monuments and statues that do not seem to be a rarity around here. In fact, everywhere I go there seems to be some sort of statue that represents its rich town history or a statue that pays tribute to Veteran's or Wars. They are each mighty in their beauty and a true testament to the pride that Prescott takes in remembrance and honor.... 09/12/2020

I saw this today and it really hit home. Today is the eve of 911 and at this very moment there are parents reading their children bedtime stories. There are husbands and wives rushing to complete last minute packing. Somewhere there is a firefighter hoping for a decent night sleep on a cot somewhere in the firehouse and there is a hospital praying for a slow night. This is life as many of us know it. We go about our day and our nights like we will get a thousand more never once stopping to think it could very well be our last. Who thinks like that anyway? I know all about how we are suppose to live for today, seizing moments and being thankful for the day and not worrying about tomorrow because mostly tomorrow is out of our control, but.....This poem says it all. None of us knew what 9-... 09/10/2020
