WOW, it has been over a year since I have written anything on my blog! A lot has happened in the past year, but more so in the last few months. Rather than go over the details of the past, I am going to write about the events of today. I am sitting in my husband's parent's family room watching my 86 year old Father-in-law fade away. He has had a good life, raised nine beautiful children and

FHA loan limits for Maricopa County have gone down from $346,250 to $271,050 as of Oct. 1st . Congress raised the conforming loan limits in 2008 and has extended them annually through 2011, but no action was made to meet the Sept. 30 deadline, therefore, the limits have decreased.The effect on the marketplace began in August when major lenders stopped approving jumbo loans in anticipation of the

It is time to check back in again, time to evaluate how I am performing on the balance beam. Am I living a balanced life, balancing work and family, building great relationships, making good decisions, and remaining basically happy? It is easy for me to evaluate this from my current position, as I am forced off the beam, for reasons beyond my control. (Thankfully God is in control and I am not –

Sitting on the plane… laughing out loud-oops… back to concentrating …some of these scientific explanations are going right over my head! I put my book down and turn to my husband, “Chris, let’s try eating a paleo diet while we are in Costa Rica these next 10 days.” To my astonishment, he agreed! Robb Wolf, author of The Paleo Solution, not only entertained me with his humorous writing style, but

Recently I have noticed an increase in classic cars on the roads here in Scottsdale, Arizona. It must be due to the Barrett Jackson Auction coming soon. Our great city of Scottsdale will be hosting the 40th Anniversary of the world’s greatest collector car auction from January 17th to January 23. If you have not been to the auction, I highly recommend it! The minute you enter the gates you will

We have much to be thankful for: If you woke up this morning healthy ... you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.

The real estate business is definitely not the same as it used to be. It is now multi-faceted more than ever, even beyond the ever changing rules of short sales and REO’s. The uncertain economy must be bringing out the “creative financing” side of people. My most recent transactions have not been the traditional experience. But then again, what is traditional these days? I have had to do much

Carefree, Arizona is a peaceful and serene town located in the high Sonoran Desert -just minutes north of Scottsdale and the Phoenix metro area - amid lush desert terrain and ancient granite boulders.It was over 50 years ago that two gentlemen, KT Palmer and Tom Darlington met in a Phoenix hotel and began their dream of creating a town called Carefree.

I feel like I am clumsily trying to make my way through a fog that I am expecting to lift sometime soon. As I try to maintain a “normal” schedule – tend to clients, attend meetings, keep up on the kids’ activities, pay attention to my husband, help my son with tax returns before late fees come into play, maintain an exercise routine, rally with friends, make meals, keep up with the house, etc… -

Today was my youngest son Kellen’s first tennis match on the high school tennis team. And sadly, I have to report that I missed it! Instead, I was acting as a counselor, negotiator, and you could even call me a gymnast. A walk-through on a home that was suppose to close should have been easy but instead was filled with tension, uncertainty, and a crawl through a doggie door. Top that with

Not sure why I am writing this as God didn’t give me the gift of communication, but somehow I feel compelled to give you a view of my life… as I know it.For starters, I am married for almost 29 years to my best friend Chris who knows me better than anyone, (Christy is a very close second!)
