  folks this is Diane and Randall bro hello peeps good afternoon we’re coming to you from Prescot Arizona here in the lovely Prescot Lakes happy to be here and share our newest thing this is our new phrase for everything when things are going wrong we are living in the great age of incompetence yes yes there used to be better ages yes the Gilded Age the this age the well it’s you know we don’t live a bad age I mean you can still get orange juice in the middle of the winter you know the thing is people just aren’t good at what they do anymore it’s just you can’t get good service you can’t things are not done the way they should be very true and so we’re just finding it more and more and more I don’t know if it’s an aspect of um recovering from covid when everything was shut down and I think I was thinking about this I think during the time of Co a lot of folks who were on the cusp of re and we’re like forget about it I’m done I’m out so what’s happened is there’s been a huge gap and so now there’s some younger folk coming in who maybe are coming out of college or high school where during Co they didn’t have to perform so to speak um so now they’re thrust into the Working World and things have changed yeah people are working at home they don’t know how to conduct themselves they’ve lost people skills uh they’ve lost a good work ethic and they’re like well I don’t have to do this I mean I’m just going to take some time off yeah and it’s created a lot of incompetence so I don’t know if you guys found that I yeah I I don’t know if it’s they don’t care anymore I just think it’s they’re just unable to do what they’re supposed to do so recently uh there was an assassination attempt on uh uh uh president Trump uh a very narrow Miss uh he was very very lucky and as the news comes out it’s very clear the Secret Service was just dro the ball time and time again uh we anytime you travel now if you have a connecting flight chances are you’re going to miss it I mean how many of you out there have heard you know every flight we’ve taken recently delay delay delay Mr your connecting flight I mean we might get home three days later yeah yeah and you know even they lost my luggage and the guy said I I don’t know what to tell you we told them to pull it they said they were and he looked at me he was an older gentleman he goes my co-workers are idiots yeah you know and I just don’t know if people have and that’s when the door doesn’t fly off of the Jets right they got I they got some serious things going on same thing restaurants it’s like I don’t know maybe because maybe some of the older more seasoned workers have moved on so they’re not there to train the younger folk and teach them how it’s supposed to be done I don’t know what the answer is well I well one one possible solution besides the fact that a lot of people with the most experienced workers uh retired is that you know we shut down the economy so all usually an organization has employees that have been there a while and they bring in me one or two employees and the people who’ve been there while can kind of show them the ropes well after covid there was no one who knew the ropes so they had to start all over you know it’s like every every business every organization is a startup now and they’re all trying to figure it out again and and I think you’re right I think people don’t care as much they don’t have the work ethic they used to having spent uh months at home getting paid for doing nothing and they want to do that again now we’re really sounding like old people yeah I you know standing old I know it I know it and the reason there is a small I mean there’s there is truth to this though folks I know it absolutely you have to work you can’t get money forever for free we wanted to make sure that we told you if you if you’re not aware or you haven’t noticed uh we thought it was important for you to know that you are living in the age of great incompetence because if you’re going to do a real estate transaction you’re going to be moving there are so many moving parts to that process on the selling side on your buying side you’ve got lenders you’ve got title companies you have inspectors you have movers you have handymen repairmen you’ve got contractors I mean you’ve got all of these pieces and parts the idea that everyone who is involved in your transactions is going to be competent in the age of great incompetence is vanishingly small yes so make sure you get very competent responsible um uh involved real estate agents yeah don’t get somebody who’s like I’ll call you in a couple of days you need somebody who’s with you every step of the way and we’ll hold your hand and make sure in the age of grading competence that your deal gets done and gets done correctly yeah you just have to double triple check you just need to track everything to ground follow up follow up just to make sure that even the simplest things oh we over to we’ll overnight it to you we had something where they were going to overnight it was a car TR a car a car purchase we’ll overnight it to you well they forgot to put it in the package they forgot to give it to the guy when he showed up you know oh here it is it’s in the outbox I guess they forgot to give it to the FedEx man yeah so well great you know let us call us when it’s there and we can really come back again and get this taken care of so in the age of gr incompetence look for good seasoned agents like Randall and myself we’re here to help you we uh we will do what we can many sleepless nights problem solving how can we you know switch this around and help these people get into their home um that’s what a good agent will do for you and that’s what we love to do for you and get you to the Finish Line yes so in the age of grading competence look for great competent people I think that you know one of the problems I think too having spent a fair amount of time in Corporate America uh mostly as a consultant is you know corporations treat their employees for the most part as interchangeable parts and anyone who’s been in the world will long enough will tell you that’s not the way any organization works you always have you know the people who are more than carrying their weight you know it’s the 20% they get 80% of the work done and uh it’s maybe we lost a lot of those people going forward recognize people when they’re good if you get a good waiter please tip well yes so they he’ll be he or she will be there next time they keep doing a good job recognize good good work because you can’t take it for granted anymore absolutely well cheers to you you do good work good job I try to we try and we try our hardest to bring the best for you as our client we really do we want to bring you uh to you know fruition get this deal done make it happen for you and we’re happy to do it absolutely so be careful out there who you’re hooking up with like your mama used to say

good morning hello Peeps and hello hello hello hello hello hello Diane and Randall bro here your friendly husband and wife real estate team and she’s pickle lady I am also the pickle lady I have many monikers that’s right that’s a good word I like moniker you’re yeah I know so today we want to talk about something a little interesting about moving here to Prescot if you have puppy dogs look out for porcupine porcupine so we got a call from a friend of ours whose dog uh Piper Piper uh just let out in the backyard and came up with a whole bunch of quills evidently they almost like fire out I I always thought you had to like throw yourself on a porcupine evidently they come out like little arrows I I don’t know yeah when they’re threatened it just happens happens and it happens fast and uh so she was uh stuck a whole bunch ended up uh and they have barbs on them too so they’re very hard to remove it was um I mean the dog is going to be fine he’s fine but it’s not a fun process and we’re not talking about one or two quills I mean you could have aund quills all in your dog’s face and in body and and it’s very uncomfortable and you have to make sure you get the whole Barb out you can’t just take it upon yourself to pull it out because sometimes you leave a piece in there and then it’s another nightmare now I don’t want you to think you walk around presca and you see porcupines everywhere cupin are very well hidden they’re they’re nocturnal yeah and they do not like to be seen so uh generally you don’t see them if you don’t see them that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re not there they’re there they’re hiding I had seen por golf course I think yeah this is a house that’s on the golf course I think they kind of like the golf course uh same as coyotes coyotes also kind of like golf courses uh so if you have property like that or looking to buy property like that just be careful yeah so when you put your pups out you should know do we have porcupines yes do we have Havalina yes do we have coyotes yes especially if you got a teeny tiny dog oh yeah never never have unsupervised outdoor time well this really small dog I mean we’ got Hawks you know oh Hawks and that’s true in a lot of areas I mean you know it’s not like we have this abundance of wildlife the same as true a lot of those animals were there in Texas as well but uh so make sure you have supervised yard time um don’t go to the grocery store and leave your dog outside in the yard you might come home to a disaster yeah now we have big dogs so uh you know the the Ravens and you know that they’re not going to carry around our dogs but uh porcupines even a even a very large dog can get uh injured by do so we uh we have a little print out here so we have a little print out yeah so we went to chat GPT we are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to give some tips on how you can avoid having dog uh stuck by a not stuck not stuck that’s right so as I said have supervised outdoor time yep uh have make sure you have a good fence around that little critter say they borrow underneath I don’t know how practical that is I know but you can try but they they are pretty pretty creative there’s also such a thing who knew called porcupine repellant yeah so you can get porcupine repellents get training oh training how do you get train your dog train your dog to stay away get like a stunt porcupine that’s kind of stupid commands like stay yeah or leave it important my dogs would never listen to that never learn just like my children they would never listen to that but hey if you’ve got good dogs who will listen to that for you good uh have the porcupine repellent I didn’t know they had such a thing use commercial porcupine repellants these can deter porcupines from coming near your property there you go so I don’t know what what that scent is or what that is I don’t know but I guess you could find out and spray it around your yard probably Puli or something like that they also say to remove food sources like bird feeders or fruit that falls from your trees yeah yeah um they’re attracted to that because they want to come eat and they’re hungry so try to keep those things to a minimum and if you’ve got uh fruit trees in your yard pick up the rotten fruit because I that was car’s problem I think she has a fruit tree I think she yeah um make sure you keep your yard clean of all brush and extra logs and things that they could hide in or B burrow in and make a cute little house Y and uh they also like uh motion activated lights and sprinklers are very good to detract them and deter them from coming into your yard they don’t want to be a part of that at all they don’t like it that’s right a Sprinkle I really like it kind of Squirt yeah yeah make them run make them run that would keep me out of your yard not that I would do anything to your dog and lots of lights so yeah it’ll be good so anyway um that’s just something to keep in mind yeah if you got a little pup she kind of went through a bad experience had to rush him to the vet and it was not cheap okay so be aware that when you come here we are got Critters yeah so yeah and like I said this is not like a common thing this is the first time I heard of it happening uh unfortunately to a friend of ours but uh we just thought we let you know and yeah it’s a it’s a good it’s important to know so know remember supervision is the top thing as far as I’m concerned as well as having a fenced yard yeah so be on the lookout for porcupines and any other Critters that could hurt your your kitty cats or puppy dogs and stuff like that so in conclusion after our many valuable tips we just gave you um make sure you protect your kitty cat your puppy dogs um things are out there it’s not

hello hello hello my fellow pickle peeps hello peeps Diane, Randal Breax here coming to you live from Prescott Arizona we are so excited to talk about all the wonderful changes coming uh due to some lawsuits against lawsuits basically they’ve made made a couple of lawyers uh really wealthy yep and uh they’re not good lawyers because their clients made like maybe $5 each yeah when when is settl is all said and done because we know the news is is very slanted it’s not giving you the full story after this class action lawsuit is settled amongst all the sellers they will make a grand total of about four or five dollars per person per seller yeah um but it is upset the apple cart for everyone else contct El in the whole world that’s right and so we want to give you a heads up that especially in the state of Arizona effective August 1 every client we meet all of our lovely buyers coming in you will have to sign what’s called a buyer’s contract a buyer’s employee agreement yeah it goes by a thousand different names which makes it that much help that that’s much more difficult we call it a buyer broker agreement yes but basically it is a contract between a buyer and a buyer’s agent just like a listing contract is a contract between a seller and a selling agent or listing agent that’s right so you are signing that you would love to work with us uh that you were going to employ us to help you find a home y to help you with every part of your move and all the other multitudes of things that we do for you uh during a a closing and during the process um it will go over our compensation and uh you’ll see what our uh commission rate will be except for now we can’t call it a commission yeah we can we can on the buyer broker agreement yeah say it’s the thing all the yeah you know how life is now everything has a has a uh what do you call it when you can’t say the word you got to say something euphemism everything’s got a euphemism so yeah there’s the commission on the buyer broker agreement you can’t talk about commission uh buyer commiss buyer agent commission on MLS on uh MLS or the listing contract ever again so so all this complication just so a few people can get $5 each and a couple of lawyers who aren’t very good can make a lot of money so when you come in please be aware we are absolutely unable we are forbidden it will be breaking the law Etc yeah forbidden forbidden ver verbot any word you can say any word you can the word is n o if you do not agree to sign unfortunately we will not be able to open one single door for you to take you on a tour hey don’t shoot the messenger we cannot open a door without a contract right we are not don’t shoot the messenger yeah and by the way all the other agents uh will tell you the same thing and if they tell you something different please call us so we can report them that’s right uh because this is the new law this is the way it is and you H you have to sign uh there aren’t a lot of you out there but for you guys who like to work with more than one agent at at a time even though only one’s going to get paid uh you’re not going to be able to do that anymore you’re going to have to have an exclusive agreement with one buyer it’s like a marriage you have to be committed you have to sign that marriage certificate yeah yeah and uh we would love to help you and unfortunately if we say I’m so sorry if you come in and you don’t feel comfortable signing it we are going to have to conclude our tour at that moment yeah um if we uh do not have you sign it and we take you in anyway we could be heavily fined yeah and I mean heavily fined uh and or lose our license yeah so obviously we’re not going to do that it’s just please understand that we’re not trying to be heavy on this um we’re not trying to make you feel uncomfortable um you know out of your element and making you sign something it is a national law yeah it will be across the entire United States and they will be looking very carefully for people who are not doing it right yes they do they do so don’t hold it against us uh we just wanted you to know when you come in and be prepared so that you know yeah okay I get it we’ll do this and then we can discuss how this compensation will work yeah usually we’ll do a sellers concession there’s a whole bunch of ways that most of it’s just gonna be it it’s my take on all of this is uh it’s really not going to change very much except for some words some additional paperwork that’s right uh it it’s it’s I don’t think it’s really going to affect the industry very much except to just make it a little more complicated a little a little more paperwork a little more paperwork so we just wanted to give you a heads up on that um and let you know what’s coming and in our little neck of the woods in Prescot uh the law starts August 17th but in Prescot we are enforcing all of this starting August 1st that’s pretty much Statewide in the state of Arizona because I think Phoenix is doing the same thing yeah we’ve upped our game we got all of our paperwork uh updated and changed to reflect the new law and so anyway um don’t shoot the messenger when we see you and we hope you understand and we’d love to take you out in a beautiful tour um take you in a bunch of houses but you should know before you even get in the car we’ll have to have that signed so I hope you understand we don’t make other rules it is what it is people we don’t make the rules we wish we didn’t have to ask you lawers making the world a better and safer place for all of us that’s right but
