Voting With Your Feet
The power of voting can be a lot greater than you think, especially when you do it with your feet. In this episode, we discuss the latest trend sweeping the nation: the Great Reshuffling – and why you might consider hopping aboard.
Video Transcript good afternoon good afternoon folks in brisket arizona that’s right this is diane and randall grove and i’m the randall he’s the randall we are here in the lovely town of prescott arizona loving life loving our little business here and loving to reach uh to you guys and chat with you about uh different topics different topics so today we’re going to talk about a new phenomenon that’s sweeping the country called voting with your feet yes it’s more than one way to vote yeah if you can’t get the result that you want you can always vote with your feet so that was a quote that actually i think it was lenin uh people asked you know did the people uh want the czar or the did the people want to end the war this is world war one you know when did the people vote uh when did the soldiers vote that they should end the war and he said they voted with their feet meaning that they had all retreated from the front and you know right just gave up the fight and uh that’s a term that’s kind of bandied about quite a bit the idea of voting with you voting with your fee and we see it all the time as agents here uh we represent a lot of buyers uh they’re coming from california washington oregon even some new jersey folks yeah and um they are voting with their feet uh they are not happy with things that are occurring in their home states and they are retired and they’re like you know what we have a luxury now and the ability to vote with our feet uh we don’t have to put up with it anymore we don’t uh and we want to move on yeah and so a lot of them are coming here to prescott yeah a lot of them are a lot of them are it’s you know it’s the last resort uh you know it’s in communist countries like cuba and east germany you know they’ll build a wall to keep people from voting with their feet because they know their people are unhappy and uh so far there’s no place in the united states that i know of that forces you to stay where you are although california tried they were trying to tax people who are leaving you know and i can’t imagine that that’s gonna stick but uh but at this point in time you can still vote with your feet and the thing about it about voting with your fee is you get instant results if you elect your candidate it’s gonna take a while before your candidates able to bring you the changes that you want but when you vote for your feet you go to some place where things are happening the way that you want them to it’s right instantaneously you get immediate satisfaction you get immediate results um depending on where you go of course yeah um and so we get a lot of people who are like i’m moving on i can’t change what’s occurring in my state i sure have tried i’ve tried to hang in there as long as i can and hoping that there might be a change and now that they’re retired they have the freedom and the wherewithal they’re not tied to a job or career or kids in school yeah and so we are seeing it more and more that people are voting with their feet and they’re going where they feel uh with like-minded people yeah and um so it’s been an interesting thing to watch uh unfold and develop yeah and so we say it a lot a lot uh and it’s a phenomenon that’s happening really all over the country uh there’s a lot of new flux uh people call it the the the great reselection the great reset i forget that i don’t know yeah but it’s like the covet thing and it’s like everyone is sort of rethinking what they want to do with their lives where they want to spend their lives covered has changed a lot of things yeah it’s changed the path for a lot of people reshuffling i’m sorry the great reshuffling i knew it would come to you yes it always does but it is interesting to see a lot of people um have the effects of cobit and they realize hey you know i was gonna retire in five years um but now i actually can live and work wherever i want yeah because people started working remotely yes so it’s enabled them to move up their plans to move to a different state yeah hopefully prescott and it’s changed their life plan and that’s all because of covet they were like we have to work at home we’re going to figure this out and once it was figured out people realized well hell i can keep doing this nothing nothing to stop why do i need to stay here i can move where i want to move ahead of retirement i don’t have to wait until i retire right which is kind of cool yeah and for those who are kind of on the other side of the the the work period you know their work careers and looking at retirement you know you reach a certain age you realize that the situation is not going to be fixed on your watch you’re just not going to live that long you know you don’t have 40 years ago that’s great yeah i mean when you’re in your 20s it’s easier to be optimistic you want to be part of the solution you want to affect change you make the world a better place you get to be an old man it’s like ah you know i just i’m tired of fighting yeah all i’m looking for is peace i want peace happiness peace and i want my money to last until i die [Laughter] that’s all you’re looking for when you retire like hey i’m done i just want to chill out and have some fun yeah definitely so anyway if you were thinking about voting with your feet particularly if you’re a vote for prescott yeah and you’re going to want to contact the people

Dump It
Moving generates lots of stuff you’ll need to dump, especially boxes. Here’s what to do with that in Prescott… and a delightful early Christmas present.
You May Be Old
Moving from one place to another is fraught with challenges. Don’t be surprised if the ordeal takes a bigger toll on you than you anticipate, because none of us are getting any younger. That’s why it’s important to pick agents who have understanding, patience… and a willingness to coddle a bit when it’s needed. It’s likely you’ll need all three.
Family Matters
When it comes to real estate, personal and family matters can loom large – larger than counter tops and 3-car garages. In this episode, we share some difficulties our clients have had trying to reconcile family demands, financial constraints, and their desire to make a new start.
When Size Matters
Looking to bring along some big stuff to your new house? Well, if it don’t fit, don’t force it. The Pickle Lady can help you make sure everything has a place that’s big enough for it, using our very own home-grown technology solution. As you’ll see in the video, it’s as slick as it is nerdy – so relax and let it go!

Downsizing Tips
Downsizing your life? Having seen the process time and time again, the Pickle Lady has some great tips for you – and a cool technology tool you should check out… and some wine.
hello hello hello this is diana randall bro here coming at you from the the terrace out at the raven cafe one of our red places around town yes really cool vibe very nice but we’re not here to talk about the favorite cafe no we’re not what do you want to talk about my love we’re here to talk about downsizing downsizing we have a lot of people coming here from all over and they want to downsize so here’s my advice to you if you’re coming from a home three to five thousand square feet which we see a lot of yep and you think you know what i’m getting rid of everything and i’m starting over i only want 1500 feet i’m here to tell you that’s a mistake it’s not gonna work out it’s not gonna work out you really need if you’re truly downsizing start at two thousand yeah because it’s hard at least eighteen hundred yeah it’s hard to divest yourself of divest yourself of your belongings especially if you’ve lived in a house about 40 years or so which we see a lot of yeah it’s really hard to comb through that stuff and move into a new home and make it your place because you miss some of your familiar belongings yeah so i don’t know what it is about hutches in particular people want hutches i gotta take my my china hutch gotta do the hutch but here’s the thing measuring a lot of space for hutches that’s right if you go too small 14 or 1500 square feet you’re going to be miserable and especially for you married couples that are retired that is too much togetherness and too much under footness yeah you might end up separated and or divorced yeah because it’s a little too close for comfort so just keep in mind do about 2 000 square feet you’ll be fine you’ll make a wonderful adjustment you’ll be able to keep some of your favorite pieces and still have the comfort and feel of your old home but in a much more manageable livable space yep that being said there you go that being said that’s my two cents that’s your two cents my two cents is if you’re going to downsize a lot of times what we hear is we want to downsize we want to downsize one’s someplace small so we show them a place that’s small the first thing they say is well i’m not going to be able to fit all my stuff in here that’s right you may have to get rid of some things yeah well here’s the idea if you’re downsizing you’re not going to bring all your stuff you’re going to bring a subset of your stuff correct i like that the smaller the subset the better uh one thing we will do is if you’re looking at a particular home we’ll go through and do a video i’ll i’ll intersperse an example so you see what we’re talking about where we actually uh put the dimensions like the length of a wall in the video so you can see the house and see how much space you have to see if your height is going to fit we’ll be glad to do that for you we do that all the time uh but my advice is if you want to downsize if you’re serious about it be open to losing the hutch don’t make it all about the hutch or whatever piece of furniture uh we’ll try to find you a space for it but you don’t want the house that you bought being driven by your old touch correct because there’s some great houses you’re missing out on just trying to fit your dining room table your dining room table or your hutch your life is going to change you significantly make the change yeah you got to jump in with it with both feet uh you don’t want to come here buy something and then have to sell it buy something else because it doesn’t get what you want to do exactly just don’t go too small but don’t bring everything with you it’s you gotta strike the dude though if you’re gonna make the move make the move embrace the change get rid of the old crap that’s right here oh hutch get rid of the old hatch i think hutch is a french word for crap yeah eat that much you don’t need that it’s all good the bureau come here yeah it’ll all be good and they’ll be good embrace the change yep where can they find you you can find me at prescottpicklelady.com or 713-302-1964 she’s the one and only press could pick a lady and she’ll be there wrecked or we sell basket yeah we’re looking to sell a home check out we sell press get done so cheers cheers to downsizing make it happen have a whole new life get rid of that old stuff that old history you don’t need smaller you have smaller lives smaller is good smaller is good all right cheers to that cheers to that oh you gotta hand me your glasses bye see you later have a great day bye

phases of your life where a lot of things can go wrong you know if you’re starting a new job you just had a new baby god help us if that yeah you know what that you don’t go to there again no i would

should know how to turn the water off uh so if you go through the buying process and uh you know you’re going to have an inspector the inspector will show you where your main water turn off is uh most most appliances like the refrigerator it it’ll have its own shut off so you don’t have to shut off water to the whole house you’ll be able to shut it off there so that’s your fridge leaking just turn it off turn it off at the source that’s what that’s was the you know that’s what we did we you know mopped up the water there but that’s just a quick tip just a quick tip i learned myself yeah i

HOA Paint Colors
What could be more fun than coordinating paint colors with an HOA while you’re in a middle of a move? Well, at least you have the Pickle Lady to help run the traps… and there’s wine.
all right i’m sitting harder than you that’s okay they give the important people the tall chairs oh give me i don’t think so give me a break give me a break hey how are you guys hello yeah okay we are now in fish capacity you want to introduce ourselves i was about to go ahead don’t jump that’s what i do i oh my god give me patience all right we’re here in our official capacity as realtors in our very nice beautiful new conference room here at our office i am diane and this is randall bro she’s pickle lady i am the pickle lady um and we are happy to be here this evening we wanted to kind of hang out at the office because it’s been a little hot yeah it’s nice and cool in here we’re waiting for the monsoons to come through they’re running late this year they are very much really weird weather patterns this year all over the country yeah we’re no exceptional hurry monsoons right absolutely yeah just one or two rain so far exactly so we’re here to talk about something that um well i’d like to help any of my clients when they’re moving in so just mr bro um and we kind of wanted to talk a little bit about customer service and some important things so recently we sold a lovely home in prescott lakes and my little lady wanted to have her whole home repainted so i do know you have your hoa so i went over and filled out the whole application and helped you pick out the paints and sadly they only meet every couple of weeks to decide yeah um because she was closing the next day they declined her colors yeah yeah it was kind of dumb but anyway kind of dumb so now we have to wait till august 6th so i wanted to talk to you about things like that when you need to do anything with your hoa be aware you can’t just go in fill the form send it in and say oh approve today no sometimes it takes two to three weeks and the board meets the board and then if you don’t get the answer you want then you got to do it all over again you know yeah so always check with your hoa if you want something done ready or fast you better you know expect it’s not going to quite happen that way yeah we try to get to get it all choreographed just so yeah uh obviously you know this is if you are moving from it in from out of town right so you’re trying to coordinate all this obviously get get the pickle lady uh involved right as your boots on the ground to try to get it all coordinated um so part of it is just so you know that we can help you do stuff like that and negotiate and administer that kind of thing and the other is just adjust your expectations adjust your expectations so we were declined on one color so now we have to wait till august 6 but that’s okay we’re going to resubmit and we’re going to start over but uh so i wanted you to be aware of that sometimes with hoas it takes a little time to get the final approval but you will always also we suspect that part of the reason why they didn’t just approve everything is that we had not closed yet mm-hmm and uh we suspect they wanted to make sure that we were closed before they do anything well that makes sense yeah i mean you can’t approve something on the house that someone doesn’t own yeah i totally get it yeah i was just my my point is yeah that’s how proactive we are as a team yeah i’m so proactive i’m like you know what this lady needs her house painted i’m on this i’m gonna make this happen i know where the hoa is i’m gonna go while she was still in california so we and our practice we very much like to help our people in any way we can we’ve had clients call and say i can’t get my ceiling fans to work okay so we come over and and then we call our other friend and our other agent and say hey uh how do we get this turned on we can’t get it oh did you get the remotes that’s another tip too so there are three of us working together to try to figure out some of these problems and get you the best help as fast as possible whether it be us or we have a whole list which is on our relocation center location center which lists painters handymen uh we have somebody who does stucco so our team we try super super hard to have as much information available so when you move and you need to have things done we are a source of information for you to help you get whatever you need to have handled and also on the on the social side too so not just it’s not just about your home uh a lot of times people want information about the local activity center or contact information for different clubs and stuff like that right uh so we’ll coordinate that we try to be super super available and i have to say not all agents are no nope they just say thank you so much goodbye have fun but if you come to us we’re all about customer service absolutely we really want to help you and give you some delicious pickles that’s right and sometimes i give you another bottle of pickles don’t underestimate the pickles some of you people love these pickles are a little to me can i have some

lending companies here um that we can refer you to but if you’re like on the fence like i don’t know what to do am i ready to buy well first of all of course you’re ready to buy yeah who wouldn’t want to live here who wouldn’t want to live here all right but come get a sign let’s park that aside park that aside that’s me parking it aside okay um the other thing is um a lot of these local uh mortgage lender companies right right doesn’t sound right don’t don’t get the pickle lady or drink before no but anyway i have 90 day new programs where you can lock in your interest rate for 90 days yeah so although you may not be sure do i really want to move am i up for this but geez i don’t want to lose out on the interest rates because interest rates are rising are they not randall brown yeah if you’re if you’ve been living in a cave yeah here’s here’s the news bulletin interest rates are going to go up this year yes they’re even predicting by the end of this year this year as high as six percent as high as six and a half as high as six and a half you’re right which is you know you think that’s really high it’s really not it is a story of things and the scheme of things a healthy economy people should be making six six and a half on their money uh so that’s kind of where we’re going that’s not necessarily a bad thing but uh you wait a few minutes yeah lock it up lock it up at five and a half am i right yeah lock it up at five that’s where we lock that up 90 days that’s a whole quarter man lock it down lock it up lock it up lock it down lock it up lock it up lock it up lock it away you lock it up or lock it down we would be happy to refer you to some of these companies um and so you could at least lock in an interest rate while you’re debating the pros and cons of moving here which there are no cons but you know hey everybody has to do their time your due diligence yes yeah you have to go through your problems check idaho and make sure it’s too cold and check out phoenix to make sure it’s too hot it’s too hot and um you know make sure you check out oregon make sure it’s to granola it is too granola yeah yeah come to prescott but that’s okay we understand we

choice you will have already had your interest rate locked in so you don’t have to sweat it um so yeah we would love to introduce you to some of those programs if you come here get you a sign and you

Life Adventures… And Cold Feet
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
