hey peeps hey this is diane bro my better half randall bro that’s me that’s you we are the spouses that sell houses yes we are and you’re the pickle lady and i am also the president pick a lady which i’m kind of tickled to have that little label yeah the pickle thing is really taking off everyone’s really liking the pickle thing but the pickles are really good but you know you as the it was the pickle ladies i’ve embraced everything yeah i’ve totally embraced it yes becoming a real big part of who i am and anyway love sharing my pickles with all of our clients yep but uh we sure have missed you guys it’s been a little bit instead of our weekly wine down it’s become several weeks several weeks several weeks till our winter but we always do a weekly wind down we just don’t always record it correct our daughter graduated from college so we were busy with that congratulations to you adeline we’re very proud of you she finished in three years from asu yep and um worked very hard she did she’s a little sun devil sun devil and also a devil in general but yeah that’s another story for another time she’s a devil at night as well correct but anyway we’re happy to be here today and one of our new exciting things we really want to talk about is what is it to be a good seller be a good seller be a good seller a good seller is someone who is realistic in their pricing when we come in with our comparative market analysis we’ve done our homework yeah we know what you know you can’t change you can’t change the market no you can’t change the market and we know we do our research we know exactly where your home should be priced how much per square foot we just don’t make up a figure so we wish we could i know we wish we could if we could make your home worth a lot of money per square foot that the market wouldn’t that’s right except we would be super real estate agents we would be buying and selling property i think instead so we can’t yeah we have to respond to the market we really appreciate those sellers who are like we respect your opinion and we take that under advisement and uh we don’t expect a million when our home is only worth four hundred thousand yeah and then look at the cops the internet is like we see what you’re saying and why you’re saying it and they’re reasonable about it some people just aren’t yeah and so that is what makes a smooth and easy selling process yeah accept the correct pricing go with it even if you feel like everyone thinks their home is worth way more than what it really is i do too i do too i love it i’m invested in it it’s my home i have a lot of emotion attached to it but if you really take a step back and just look at the market and accept that you will have a smooth and seamless sale that will not drag on forever and ever and ever and you’ll be under a ton of stress trying to show it and run in and out and screaming at the kids and you know or your husband whatever right and trying to get out that’s right so we love people who really are like you know what i get it i get it i accept it and i i respect your opinion yeah and uh we’re gonna go with that and also appreciate that most people do not live in a stage-ready environment no no you know the way that i know the way that we live every day our home is not we are never stage ready yeah we’re never stage ready and in state the reason why it’s called staging is because it’s unrealistic it’s it’s a it’s a theatrical presentation for the benefit of the buyers and so it is unrealistic it is and so sometimes some of the things that we point out may be seen you know everyone knows that you know we have garbage so we’ll have a garbage can yeah but you don’t want to show the garbage can it’s a game we pretend you pretend no one lives here no one has ever lived here no one has created memories here no one has you know it’s all brand new a brand new event in our dream life there is no garbage there is no garbage right garbage but the toilet seat down right yeah ever going to the bathroom exactly that does not happen there put your lids down when we say hey maybe the black room or the hot pink room you might want to change that to a more neutral color don’t be offended just roll with it but that’s so boring yeah it is it is i’m sorry most buyers have to be able to come in and envision their own home yeah they don’t want to say oh i don’t like that color this would never work for me they have to see neutral neutral neutral they can inject their hot colors into a neutral room yes but they can’t inject a neutral into a hot room that’s that’s the thing so for all of you who we’ve listed for and worked with and we’re just delightful to work and and and followed our advice we salute you too we toast you we’ve been very lucky we’ve had some wonderful wonderful people pleasant to work with yes so when you are thinking about listing your home or calling an agent try to work with us be blessed we want to be have fun we want to make you ask well we’ll be pleasant we’ll be blessed even if you’re not we don’t want to be the heavies yeah no agent likes to be the heavy and come in and tell you you know we just be open yeah we’re really not making rules yeah just telling you how it is correct and in the end you know the the seller the the client is the one who makes the decisions and if they say no we’re going to go with the hot pink room there’s really nothing we will respect that but try to listen to mama listen to mama i’m trying to help you and i and we want to make this good for you all right well we do want to talk about one listing we have right now that i think everyone would love it’s beautiful beautiful park-like setting here in prescott lakes in the stoney creek subdivision it’s on 186 darby creek way

Video Transcript hi friends realtors everyone out here in the city of prescott welcome say hello say hello don’t correct me he’s throwing me off my my natural yeah our natural self anyway hi everyone cheers friday good god thank god we made it to friday i hope you guys you from you guys probably feel the same way it’s been a rough a rough day definitely need a nice friday wind down exactly anyway welcome to friends realtor are you doing it again no i don’t want i don’t like any of this okay yeah no i’m serious hi everybody and welcome to this week’s weekly window friday going down what’s that always friday well today is friday and it’s been one down people heck of yeah very busy very tired so we deserve a glass of wine cheers to everyone out there take time out um this week we wanted to talk briefly about something that’s so important and i know my fellow realtors can definitely relate and potential customers coming in a lot of people want to come to prescott see what it’s all about i love it i love it i just gotta take a quick weekend look at some of those just to see what it’s like right have some fun my word yeah yes it never works out that way yeah no because what happens is we take you out you fall in love but here’s the key even though you think it’s just going to be a fun weekend just want to get a feel of press get always before you come go to the bank and get pre-qualified go to your special loan officer whatever because and you will fall in love with a house and you will not be qualified yet and you will lose the house right and nothing breaks an agent’s heart more than to take someone out and they find their dream home so excited we’re excited we’re gonna make it happen for you and then yeah because we’re too slow right we don’t have all our ducks in a row right somebody beat you to your house somebody beats you too what should be your dream house and they’re living in your dream house they end up living your life in your house that’s right you should have had because you didn’t have your ducks in a row and it’s it’s just not right it’s just not right it’s like a parallel universe with somebody living your life in your house i agree so the easiest thing it takes maybe an hour call your loan officer we know some great people here they’ll set you up they’ll pre-call you in no time flat then we can go look at the city you can fall in love if you see a house you love you won’t lose the deal yeah right don’t go scouting without it don’t in in the unlikely event that you’re going to come to prescott and you’re not going to love it and you’re going to want to go to some other god forsaken city and spend the rest of your life there same thing you’re going to go there and you’re going to find something you’ll still need to get free calling to be qualified you can’t make an offer unless you’re a prequel yeah but do it before you come to the press because right when you get here you will want to stay yeah and i think we talked about that last week yeah we’re number nine in the united states for living great living and also number one and that’s only because there are eight other cities in deep delusion thinking yeah you’re right nobody can beat us yeah but also we’re number one in air quality yeah we are amazing air quality here it’s just a great place so yeah that’s what happened to us we came here and it’s like okay we want to stay that’s exactly right just do yourself a favor get pre-qualified you’ll be much happier we’ll all have a great time you fall in love find the house get it that day done deal welcome to

beverage of your or your choice or an herbal tea herbal tea the wine is the wine is really symbolic it’s really about taking taking time but but honestly the wine tastes a lot better when it’s nuts okay all right we learned some fabulous news today but not not anything new that we all know living here this is not news to us fellow preschootonians the fact is that prescott has been ranked ninth in the entire united states yeah that’s huge that’s huge for well-being if you want to move here for some well-being good life good living this is the time that’s right it’s number nine number nine for those of you thinking maybe phoenix i hate to break it to you he so press gets looking mighty good at number nine number nine and the reason why is everyone here is happy here loves the weather loves the attitude loves the general vibe yeah we have a great purpose social financial community and physical those are the top five things physical what is physical having good health and enough energy to get things done daily and this town every day yeah every day every day every day well okay i think this is somewhere else but anyway that’s some bad news some bad news some bad news is about airport airport our airport service has been canceled oh yes this is very sad news um great lakes is no longer no longer going to be flying to los angeles which is devastating to us yeah we have two daughters who will be flying back and forth well not anymore they’ll be driving so yeah apparently there was not enough demand there’s no pilots you’re right not enough pilots who would sign up to fly those one hour commuter flight so that’s very sad day yeah yeah if you’re a pilot and you’re looking for a job call great lakes yeah great lakes will gladly get up back on board but as of now that has been suspended yeah so kind of sad about that yeah so now we’re going to have to drive the six hours to l.a but that’s the way like this some of the other things some of the yucky news will kind of talk about a little bit interest rates are going up yeah uh they are expecting some quarterly um quarterly increases and they’re predicting maybe by 2019 we’re gonna be up to five percent now for some of those i know don’t worry about supposedly old enough to remember you know you know 15 16 it’s still a joke but you know something to keep in mind it is steadily creeping up we’re losing our perfect storm you know we’ve got low interest rates we’ve got low inventory of high demands right yeah this is a really good time to sell a home it’s not going to be a perfect storm but it’s going to be pretty strong for the foreseeable future absolutely absolutely the other thing we wanted to talk about this weekend fun events that are happening coming up weekend coming up easter weekend is the
