Blog info Bonanza

The success of the Arizona Real Estate Blogging Network has been fun to watch. But just because we have taken this month off from our regularly scheduled meetings, doesn’t mean that you don’t have an opportunity to learn a TON about blogging in July. In fact, that is FAR from the truth. Next week, in San Francisco, there are two events that promise to be “information overload” for many of […]

Free Diamondbacks vs. Cubs tickets!

Our friends at Wilde Wealth Management have invited Lori and I to see the Diamondbacks play the Cub’s on Wednesday, July 23rd. Unfortunately, I can not attend the game but Trevor was gracious enough to ask if I have a “favorite client” that might like to use the tickets. Since I have hundreds of “favorites,” I decided to contact “club” members to see who would like the tickets. I have […]

Some new “Buy and Bail” info

I have talked to many people recently about one area of major concern in the lending industry. The term is “Buy and Bail” and it can have an effect on all of us. On Wednesday of last week, I received an email from a friend at Wells Fargo that talked about some of the coming changes dealing with people that want to buy another home while keeping their current home.

Nick’s kids are going green!

We are going green! Many of you, my friends, seem to enjoy the fact that I occasionally put pictures of the boys in our newsletter. I thought this little video of them showing grandma their garden was pretty cute. The video seemed kind of fitting since they are growing like weeds. Funny thing, they are even learning about trends in the real estate business. Many people and home builders seem […]

Nick talks about web 2.0

The real estate business is ever changing. I understand that many of my clients and past customers are not exactly on the “cutting edge” of web 2.0. The whole, social networking side of blogs and on-line networking is still foreign to a lot of people. A few weeks ago, I attended a 3-day conference at the Heard Museum that focused on social media, real estate and how to market our […]

real estate videos

I try to read a lot of real estate blogs to keep up on things. For most of you, the reading I do would bore you to tears. I do find some really good marketing tips, market information and industry specific items to help keep me “on top of my game.” Every once in a while, I find some pretty funny stuff as well and I should probably share some […]

“Suite” view of Diamondback’s new “Big Screen”

Chase field has always been a great place to watch a ball game. This years addition of a HUGE “video monitor” that is the widest in the major leagues, measuring 136 feet wide by 46 feet high, or about eight times the size of the “old” screen makes it even better. Throw in a luxury suite, right behind home plate stashed with all kinds of great food and refreshments and […]
