“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 […]

Mesa Riverview to welcome Toby Keith..

It has recently been announced that Toby Keith’s “I Love This Barr & Grill” will be opening this fall at Mesa Riverview. The Riverview project seems to be gaining some ground and attracting several types of businesses, restaurants etc. Of course, the biggest anchor for the project has been Bass Pro Shops. The proximity to the upcoming Mesa Waveyard project that we have discussed, probably doesn’t hurt any of them. […]

Nick’s having some fun with Fox!

Here is a copy of the new commercial we shot a couple of weeks ago at the Fox 10 News studios. Most will run as a 15 second commercial during news casts, sit-coms, sporting events etc. Some will be 30 second commercials with another “featured” agent. So, “Just You Watch” to see your friend, Nick on tv this year! So far, these guys have been a lot of fun to […]

To help find out how “walkable” a neighborhood is, you can check out this nifty web site that will give your neighborhood a “score” based on the amenities near by.My neighborhood in South Tempe scores a “decent” 66.

Hoops, Real Estate and Politics

I have always loved basketball. Combining real estate and politics isn’t something I am always able to do. So, whenI saw this story, it just kind of made me smile. One of the all time best dunks by anyone wearing a Suns uniform was Kevin Johnson going off on Hakeem Olajuwon. I always liked Kevin as he played hard, had a lot of talent and seemed like a genuinely nice […]

Nick’s Annual Cancer Climb

Once again, I have sponsored a team for the annual “Climb to Conquer Cancer” that is held at South Mountain. I hope that you can join me and participate in this very fun event that will be held on Saturday, February 23rd. The “climb” is actually a walk up the mountain and is a great way to raise money and awareness for the American Cancer Society. The cost to participate […]

Bad MLS photos

In real estate, we all know how important location is. We have also discussed other factors that effect sales like pricing, condition etc. Recently, I found a really great blog from Athol, a real estate agent in Connecticut where he allows people to post bad photos from property listings. Some of these pictures are hilarious, some are kind of gross. (Like the one shown here) Kind of makes you say.. […]

An Arizona Snowman!

Most people think of Arizona as in.. “It’s a Dry Heat!” Well, this week in Flagstaff anyway, it was darn right cold! Lori and I took the kids to the “Polar Express” where they got to meet Santa and take a train ride to the North Pole! Luckily, it is close to the cabin and we got to spend some time playing in the snow. Many of you know that […]

My friend Shailesh found this funny video “A British Explanation for the Subprime Mess.” I found it to be “quite amusing!” 🙂 I hope you will too!
