In today's Wall Street Journal (online subscription required), there's a great article on how blogs can be used by to help sell homes.Although the blogosphere is supposed to be seamless, and not geo specific, key terms in a blog - like Scottsdale or Phoenix or Scottsdale Realtor - will drive local search results to a blog.Blogs and vidcasts and podcasts will likely become more prevelant in real

In today's business section in the Arizona Republic is the article: RE/MAX chief looks at Valley.Unlike the rest of the country, according to the co-founder of RE/MAX International, there does not appear to be any real estate bubble in Phoenix. In other words, the Valley is the optimal place to invest in real estate, buy a second home or buy a winter home.Some good quotes from the article ...But

When buying a home, there are many pieces to the puzzle to complete the closing process. From this weekend's Arizona Republic, there was a great article on closing a home, a step-by-step introduction to closing on your new home. As a Scottsdale real estate agent with more than a decade's service in Arizona, I work with all my clients from the opening of escrow to the final signing of papers and

In certain parts of the country, real estate has slowed down a little bit. However, in metro Phoenix, we are seeing the opposite as people are buying to both move to the area, as well as investing in real estate in Phoenix. Working with a variety of home buyers, I am always looking out for their best interests - if that means upgrading to a new home, diversifying their real estate holdings, or

When buying a home, you always have to find the perfect spot for everything you own. When we built our home in Michigan, we plotted out where the piano would go ... when we moved to Arizona, the piano did not "correctly" fit into any room, so I ended up sending the piano to my daughter in San Francisco. All three of my kids played instruments - daughters played piano, son played the violin - and

For the close to 20 years that I have lived here, I have watched the economy continue to grow and grow. The biggest industry has always been tourism - the 300 days of sunshine helps us out with that - real estate has also been big, restaurants / hospitality is a big industry - PF Changs started here, as well as other hot restaurants. When people think Phoenix, though, they don't necessarily

This really says all you need to know: Ariz. rated 10th-best tax state for wealthy Or, how about this: "Arizona levies some of the lowest taxes for retirees, ranking fifth in that category behind Hawaii, Wyoming, Delaware and Colorado. Arizona also finished with a modest tax burden for the non-retired hypothetical taxpayers." As a Scottsdale real estate professional, I see a lot of people

Hello All, After reading an article in Inman (yes, I know the article is no longer available), I thought I would give blogging a try. On this blog, I will write about the state of real estate in Arizona, particularly in Scottsdale and Phoenix, as well as preview current listings I may have of homes in the area. With new tools on Blogger, it's easy to upload images right in here, and give the
