getting yeah fancier and fancier as time goes speaking of getting fancier somebody nominated as a rising star here in the prescott area our very own pickle lady that’s right you know what they say stars are just full of gas am i right i think that would be more appropriate it was one of the dogs maybe yeah but anyway the rising stars yeah yes i have to say i was pretty tickled um that the press get what is it prescott area nobody knows what it stands for yeah prescott area association of realtors see i got it there you go i didn’t even know they had this category i didn’t know anything about it i i heard from a couple of people today and i i really have to say i was tickled i didn’t know i didn’t even know what it was about so all of a sudden the phone started ringing off the hook you’ve been nominated i didn’t know but i’m tickled pink and uh the last award or anything i was i won or was nominated for was uh you know i i was vice president class president of my high school and and most christians most christian freshman insider she played mary remember she played mary most christian right there so it’s been a very long time that i’ve had anything i got to watch this camera’s going too high it’s going to see my where that’s right shaved my head by accident that’s right but anyway i was tickled and i do appreciate it and um thank you so much you know just for even thinking about me or nominating me it does kind of tickle me you have the ability to vote get out there and vote for you no don’t i hate that yeah i i’m campaigning on her behalf no i don’t like that but she does not approve this message i don’t approve this message okay i’m just saying i was tickled they have such a thing that’s all yeah it makes me laugh right there you go right there thank you all right here we go what are we talking about today oh we’re talking about um this is something cool certain areas out there are becoming like little baby many californians many californians many californians if you look at the neighborhood granite dells yeah we just had some californians move in yep and they go around to meet their neighbors and their neighbors are from you know riverside rancho cucamonga san diego it’s like little california over there little california we did some research and it turns out like in that particular area it’s like 90 percent or something most of the people are transplanted californians california so we’re going to call it little california look now well yeah rancho prescott tonia yeah something like that yeah yeah i think that’d be cool that’d be cool but uh so yeah if you’re coming here from out of state you you’ll be surprised how many people you’re gonna meet who are actually not from here they’re from entirely different areas california we’re from texas new orleans california is very popular and a lot of the people who are from california you know they’re afraid you know how do these people like me and our reply is you know they have maybe three people in your neighborhood who aren’t from california so you know they’re old and they’ll probably die oh my gosh that’s okay they were i didn’t say that say she’s most christian i am most persuasive me not so much yeah i didn’t say that but yeah you will find plenty of your peers yeah if you come here and you’ll love it yeah and you love it the little clusters are starting to form which is really cool you have like you know one one person one family will come in and they start recruiting their friends to come in and it becomes like a little their little enclave yeah you know you can be feel like you’re back home amongst friends and family yeah unless you want to escape friends and family yeah which uh well i don’t tell them about the airport because then um right don’t

Research has shown our greatest regrets in life come not from the consequences of our actions, but from failing to take action at all.

We see it every day!

hello hello hello and welcome again to another weekly wind down i’m randall this is stella and i’m diane bro pick a lady of prescott and we’re also the spouses who sell houses back for another weekly wind down that’s right happy to be here again absolutely and what’s our topic for this for today coffee um coffee it’s a phenomenon it is a phenomenon we see it a lot in this business we really do yeah it’s something that makes me cry a lot yeah a lot yeah you see people fall in love with a home they’re all set to go and something inside of them just um they can’t pull the trigger just can’t pull the trigger and we’re here to tell you brothers and sisters fool the trigger trigger be brave yeah well the first thing you need to realize is what’s happening yes so like we had a a couple that they they came to prescott they’ve been a few times third trip yep uh he loves this house he loves house a she loves house b so in the end after much deliberation they decide go home which yeah without making an offer on either one which essentially um by not making a decision you are making you have made a decision yeah and and it’s not about oh i hate her house you know he has my house i hate her it’s not about indecision it’s really about fear right uh fear of the unknown fear about moving forward and the mind plays tricks on you i don’t know i decided i don’t like the fireplace or i can’t live with the doorknob it’s called a little bit of sabotaging yeah yeah like a cognitive dissonance thing right i don’t want to admit to myself that i’m afraid to move forward so i’m going to find something wrong with every house that i look at right so i can tell people oh i just know i could do it because of this yeah so this couple came in third trip in uh fell in love with two different houses and walked away with either so what’s going to happen somebody else is going to buy your dream home that’s right and live in your dream your beautiful life that you thought you were going to have in preschool that’s right in the house that you blocked somebody else is now going to enjoy themselves in your house and that’s a no-go here’s a little trick of the trade to somebody agents might not know this either okay um if you have a situation like that and people love two homes there’s a multiple offer form oh yeah that’s right so go ahead put an offer in on both there’s a perform see what kind of deal you can get whichever one wins guess what you made a decision but you move forward take baby steps at a time exactly exactly and so it’s kind of a heartbreaker it is when people do that yeah they do it to themselves yeah because we want you to be here in prescott yeah we want you to love it here as much as we do we were in your shoes yeah we know yeah that’s once we speak correct yeah we came from texas where our kids grew up uh we had a wonderful group of friends yeah um very close to to them and we just decided it was time for a change we were scared to death scared to death we didn’t know anybody here not one i was about to say zero but it’s really not one soul not one soul yeah and i don’t know we just committed and we said it’s time to make a change yeah and part of it i think was recognizing that we were afraid right you know i would look at you you would look at me and clearly were terrified but if you know it’s fear then you can deal with it as fear you know don’t do a jedi mind trick to yourself and you know oh it’s about the doorknob it’s nothing to do with the door now yeah and being courageous and taking the next step it’s it being brave is not about not being afraid it’s about being afraid but still moving forward yes um you know courageous people feel those feelings too and uh you can’t let that hold you back you can’t let that dictate your life that’s right life is short yeah um we don’t know what’s around the corner yeah but i tell you we moved here it was hard it was hard some tears yeah um but we have met and the most wonderful people here it’s paradise it is paradise here i did not know this whole type of geography or topography i had to learn how to drive up hill yeah it was difficult for me so it’s been fun and it’s also been very bonding yeah when uh especially if you’re empty nesters like we are it’s very bonding to jump into something new and you really just have to cling to each other well we didn’t clean so much because we’re not clingers we’re fairly independent yeah but uh you know to solve the problems together without our usual backup or fallbacks or anything else uh so it’s good it’s good yeah and it’s something you do for yourself yes yeah we’ve spent a lot of our lives in houston yeah and a lot of a lot of our friends worked in the oil business and you know one day they tell you oh guess what we’re gonna move you to bangladesh you know it’s never a good place it’s always some god-forsaken place that happens to have oil you know these families they’ll say oh you know it’s an adventure and they do it because i have to right but it when it comes time and they’ve retired from those oil companies the idea that i could now move from bangladesh to some place like prescott it’s a it’s a proactive thing you know i’m taking action and somehow that makes it scarier for some people because they’re doing it to themselves instead of obeying orders right we’ve been there we had a two-day drive across the country with three animals and two cars back to the gills yeah it was it was music it was not easy but so well worth it for this next chapter in our life yeah so for all of you waffling do i want to move should i just stay put do it do it the science of regret tells us that people on their death bed regret things that they haven’t done somebody somebody on their deathbed what are you regretting well it’s true this is true they’ve done these studies and people don’t say you know i regret having taken action you know and it didn’t pan out what they regret is never having taken that action at all it’s like if i had done x then my life would have been so much different and i really wonder what that would have been like instead of just following the bouncing bomb yeah 32 years ago 32 years ago just joking just joking very funny that’s just a joke but anyway be brave be bold that’s right for instance randall grow yeah don’t be too bold don’t be too bold yeah don’t be reckless once you do a little buzz yeah i’ve been cutting my own hair for well over ten years yeah i hate getting my hair cut you gotta listen to the ladies cat stories you know i i just my hair is not that complicated i do with buzz cut so he has a buzz cut and uh then yeah mr bros yeah well well before i do that just in my own defense it was late i had a scotch and i didn’t i picked up the razor i mean i i the razor has a guard that keeps you from getting too close so i just you know before i go to bed sometimes it’s a tip you know and uh so i did that and uh didn’t realize there was no guard on it so show us the after effects yeah get in the light get in the light that is not a bald spot that’s just uh yeah that’s just a major hair cut it’s a it’s a town sure yeah it’s a timeshare i’m not sure if they say the monks have them yeah we have it here we’re hoping it grows in soon so we’re not telling you do anything that crazy don’t be that brave take it easy on yourself if you do send pictures it’s only fair it is pretty funny yeah he’s like i can’t believe i did this like well you are i couldn’t believe it it was not even a whole second i just immediately knew what i did oh my gosh so this week before we close we’d like to talk about our amazing pickle pick of the week pickle pick of the week it is a beautiful property on elizabeth is it way outside elizabeth

Real Estate Voodoo

Video Transcript

hey peeps hey peeps this is diane and randall bro another wine down another wine down don’t be thrown off by the fact that we’re wearing the same clothes as last time it’s a complete coincidence just pretend like pretend yeah yeah we did it we just had two great ideas and we wanted to get them out there as fast as we could to you guys i still had time to record this exactly so here we are that’s right what are we gonna talk about today today we’re going to talk about something that’s very near and dear to a lot of real estate agents heart they may not always admit to it but we will yeah we have no shame and we have no gain more than shame we have more game than shane um i’m a firm believer being a catholic born and bred in new orleans yeah and um a little bit of real estate real estate yeah let’s call it that yeah real estate and i think some of you realtors out there may know and so all of them in new orleans will know all of them in new orleans but here we go the power of saint joseph’s statue now st joseph is part of the nativity scene he yes that is correct yeah so he’s not the father of jesus no no he’s kind of like the stepfather exactly exactly and the power of the saint joseph statue is saint joseph is the patriarch of family he acts as the patriarchal families he’s someone he’s an intercessor so to speak okay um you can send your thoughts and prayers to him uh help me help me with my family help me protect my family help me sell my abs help me sell my house yeah he is kind of like um i’ll help you out with the family help you out with the house you know and so a lot of realtors will bury the statue in the yard of st joseph yeah and it helps you this is our personal favorite the thing is that they say bury him head down oh yeah you know what i got feet up okay so i googled this no i i did and there was no consensus as to how to be i do it my way my way is head down that’s correct that’s right that we’re going to do so what is your way head down yeah feet up yeah preferably by your for sale sign and say quick prayer to saint joseph bless my family bless this lovely home that we just lived in um thank you for protecting us and send us forward into our new home with happy memories and and help us find it really the key is help us find a good buyer for buyers you know what i mean and so it it really does not fail so if you bury him head down feet up buy your for sale now does he look at the for sale sign and see look out towards you no i prefer looking out because you’re looking forward to your future you’re looking forward to your future carrying all of your family memories with you in the future and he just kind of um is a guiding he can be a guiding force of course alone yeah now you know i played saint joseph in a in a nativity scene when i was in fourth grade did you know that no i didn’t i actually you know what’s so weird i was married you were i was married two different plays two different places i’ve known him for 35 years i never knew i didn’t know you were married i was married it was destined it was destiny and my mom made me a pretty blue a pretty blue dress yeah i had a sack and a rope that’s all right and i had to kneel the whole thing i think she made me married because i had long blonde hair or something i don’t know i just looked really holy it was we were destined to be realtors because you know that’s hilarious so anyway we are a firm believer in it um and nothing everything always helps with a little bit of prayer and a little bit of thoughtful meditation that’s right thoughtful meditation and sending good positive vibes out there and if saint joseph can help us along the way it’s certainly not going to hurt yeah right that’s right there was there was some a story i saw online about a guy who didn’t believe about the saint joseph statue so his wife or the realtor somebody buried the statue so he dug it up and he threw it away and then the next day he’s reading in the paper that the dump like the local dump was sold well for all of you fellow agents or fellow potential clients who are trying to sell their home and maybe hitting some stumbling blocks on amazon prime baby yeah or hit us up we’ll say yeah we’ll send you st joseph’s amazon prime yeah i’m gladly we’ll see what yeah you want i mean we’re doing tongue-in-cheek but you know there’s as i said there’s nothing wrong with a little uh intense prayer and meditation uh on what your future will be and we’re gonna talk about karma too and yeah and blessings on your former home okay anyway amazon prime 10 in a bag not bad this is a real thing people yeah the other thing i’m a very strong believer in is saging your home okay very very important sometimes there’s just negative energy and it’s it’s great if you can find someone who is uh really well-versed and well educated and well connected to the earth mother earth and there is honestly am i right nothing more powerful than watching someone come in and just uh kind of represent mother earth and sage your home and take some of the energy out or or help someone to take mother earth you’re being attacked by i am that’s ridiculous you need to say it so seiji is what is saying it’s like a plant it’s it’s a plant and you light it and you burn it and you kind of go around and yeah someone has some their own personal incantations and and uh and that takes negative energy takes negative energy um and makes everything kind of equal again and whole sometimes it’s important um also to have someone just carry a crystal and go from room to room and discuss positive and happy memories because sometimes a house is blocked from being sold just because of your intense love and attachment to the home because you brought your family up you haven’t let go and so transferring all of those feelings towards a crystal that you can carry with you into the future into your next home enables you to kind of easily let go of that and let someone else come in and say oh i’m ready to make my new attachments here and we learned that from our good friend we did our good friend karma she uh she’s amazing and um she’s very much just an amazing person super super connected to everything she’s like mother nature yeah and uh you know so she will also do say gene if there’s a lot of bad energy and that just cleanses your home of that um it’s also great for blessings when you’re moving into a home it’s really great to start thank you yes thank you karma i’ve never seen anything so touching is when i see her work um it’s a beautiful i think a seller was a little uh a little doubtful but i think he was a believer by the end right it’s a very powerful it’s a very powerful very touching very touching sweet thing to see so we are here to tell you as agents uh not only do we work super hard and try to find new clients but we are always have you in our mind we’re always meditating have a lot of prayer uh we don’t just wing this it’s a lot right a lot of power is coming to bear it’s a lot of powers we try to bring it all to you not only do we do our homework and the regular advertising and the business side of it but there’s also a really powerful spiritual side to it that and i think you know if we can teach our our sellers the same thing um it makes everybody move on peacefully and go on to our next adventure so anyway when in doubt saint joseph yeah here he is some staging some sagey yeah i’m all for do it all it’s realtor’s well-known little secret but we’ll be the only ones who really talk about it but hey i own up to it i’m open to everything in the universe that’s right so anyway it was great seeing you again cheers have a wonderful fantastic week and take care call me if you need anything at 713-300 happy to bring you my pickles as well as a little st joseph if you need one all right guys have a great week talk to you soon bye you

The Good Seller

Video Transcript

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

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

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 great prescott
