Pronouncing Prescott
People are often confused by how the locals pronounce the name of our little town. In this episode, we explore who put the "kit" in Prescott ("Press Kit"), and why some might consider pronouncing it any other way as downright unAmerican.
Video Transcript
hello hello my little poops pickle peeps pickle beeps this is randall and diane bro here in prescott he’s ramsey correct i am a pickle lady uh if you come visit us i’ll have some pickles ready for you that’s why that’s why she’s that’s why i’m a little lady in case you didn’t know that’s right but uh today randall’s going to give you a little history lesson on why prescott which howard spelled it’s called prescit instead of prescott which i mean i totally get it when i moved here i was like prescott prescott that’s how it’s spelled however we have learned since we lived here why it’s pronounced presque it yeah like biscuits biscuit yeah yeah well the first thing is follow the follow the lead of the locals you know absolutely always i mean yeah when you move here don’t say press god everybody will know they’re not from here don’t don’t argue with the locals about how to pronounce their own town immediately just start saying prescott yeah i’ve done a lot of a lot of traveling and you know i’ve been told how to say raleigh yeah and not raleigh yeah it’s not boise it’s boise yeah uh so just follow those particularly when you’re there you know when you always take the lead of the look yeah you can pronounce any way you want when you’re not around but when you’re there particularly if you want good service or you know whatever i pronounce it just adapt and adopt the local thing and and by the way as an aside uh very few people pronounce the town of new orleans new orleans yeah we are oh that’s an i’m from new orleans yeah they don’t say hey i’m from new orleans yeah sorry that’s an assignment let me get back to price case down to prescott okay so uh the town of prescott was named after after a historian uh and his name was prescott that’s how he pronounced his name uh and it was spelled prescott well the reason why his family pronounces are pronounced his name the way they did is that his family was from new england and a number of new england families who had english names changed the pronunciation of their names to indicate that they s uh uh supported the american cause not the the tory the not the british cops correct they were not this gentleman was from there yeah and he had a very british yeah his name his family’s name was uh press prescott prescott and they decided to pronounce the name prescott there are a number of families that did that in new england uh to this day there is the town of what you would pronounce as peabody is pronounced pvd uh and that’s another example so there’s a whole bunch of them uh but anyway they they were the prescients and uh with with the western accent press press cut as in cut cut steak that’s how they pronounced it prescott became press kit yeah uh so most people had a little midwestern yeah they they didn’t do prescott yeah they did press kit but press guides out unless you don’t support the american revolution and although most not very many people will call you up that out for that anymore i don’t think that i don’t think there’s anybody alive out there who will be like hey that’s a loyalist yeah you’re not you’re sort of ants iron man i think we’re way pa yeah we’re 200 plus years i think i don’t think there’s anybody else yeah yeah they might call you out on something else yeah they’ll catch you in these recent times but uh anyway so if you come to visit us and you’re like why is it press kit that’s what that’s why that’s your little history lesson so this town was named after historian from the eighteen hundreds yeah the eighteen yeah and he was a barrier a particularly bad historian well well yeah he did the best he could at that time and did well and he did okay uh but he uh he said all the indigenous people in this area uh the yavapai tribes and things like that were descendants of the aztecs nowhere and we know that’s not sex so we have uh we have a montezuma street we have a cortez street that’s right all because uh people here were supposed to be connected to uh yeah i thought the american indians that they came right from the aztec line we are named after him who came out here and and wrote about prescott and and what was going on that’s our little history lesson so if you want to mispronounce his name you know maybe you could use that as an excuse i don’t know you could yeah but anyway anyway lots of uses we just thought lots of useless information we’re full of it more useful information than that uh one place you can go is press pickle pickle411.com get it straight that is our information site whether you’re a buyer seller somewhere in between lots of information about local real estate local restaurants local events we have fun people we’re out there and we’re trying to experience it all so we can share it with you yeah press get uh the prescott experience that’s right yeah that’s exactly right so we learned a lot right since we moved here yeah well i was here like two or three years before i heard the story of why i had to say press cake i know it’s really cool there’s so many cool things here lots of there was a big indian presence here too oh yeah so you’ll find a lot of petroglyphs and so yeah we have a whole video on petroglyphs you can check that out pretty cool really cool stuff really cool anyway so that is the story of what we’re called prescott which rhymes with biscuit and uh if you want to hang with the cool kids learn how to say press kit not prescott but don’t order a biscuit i don’t know what you’d get nobody would understand we’re not saying any of it makes sense we’re just telling you what’s happened why these things have evolved give me one of those biscuits delicious i love a delicious biscott in prescott okay all right now we’re getting silly

Overcoming Adverse Markets
In this episode, we discuss how to get a decent deal even during adverse market conditions, celebrate leaving the craziness of 2021 behind... and hold on to our cautious optimism for what lies ahead in 2022.Video Transcript
hello hello hello my fellow prescott pickle peeps out there that’s right this is diane and randall bro that’s right realtors in prescott arizona correct here we are here we go cheers to that love it here love it here um we’re very excited first we want to wish everyone a happy 2022. 2022 hard to believe yeah isn’t it well you know the last two years went by were so crazy very crazy and uh went by so fast and at the same time it lasted forever well it has they were the best of years and the worst of you i mean honestly it’s been pretty grim things have can only go up can only go up can only go up from here that’s what we’ve learned and i think they will i think 2022 is going to be good i think it’s going to be an amazing i think we’re going to recover from a lot of the stuff absolutely yeah people will get nice again yeah with all those things absolutely tough year for our buyers very tough 2021 but we are happy to say that uh oh well i can’t think of any any any of our clients who ended up with either crappy homes or prices that they shouldn’t have paid correct we tried super hard even though as you know a lot inventory was very low very low very very good usually we have like 1200 homes uh throughout the year um inventory dropped to like 300 at some point below 300. one point it was below 300. it was in the same hundreds and when we say below 300 homes we and that covers all price ranges so really hard yeah but i am happy to say so two one or two things were happening you had buyers that were just getting into stupid money and paying homes uh prices for homes that could in no way be worth that right exorbitant going over uh ask uh in exorbitant amounts and uh we are very proud to say yeah we did not let our clients do that it’s very easy to get swept up into it and like where am i going to live i’m going to be homeless so yeah i need to go 50 000 over and at some point we would just say it’s time to stop you know prices are appreciating you know and as best we can tell we think the home might appraise for maybe this much and you might want to think about going maybe a little over that but we’re getting into the realm now where you got to stop and so a lot of them you know ever they listened and we said don’t give up hope we will find the right one and we will find just the right price i think our record but you know what he ended up with a great home he did for a really good price even in this crazy market uh most of our clients got pretty good prices yes uh and the other thing is there are always homes that no one ever wants to buy even in the strongest seller markets they don’t sell because there’s a reason they don’t you don’t want to sell and you know when you’re a buyer and you your home is already sold and or you’re desperate for home or uh you’ve been through 10 offers and you still haven’t found one there’s there’s this little nagging thing well maybe maybe it’s not as bad as you think and we were like no we had to wave off a couple of those too we don’t want you to settle yeah we’re gonna try as hard as we can to find the right fit the best house maybe you might have to replace the flooring maybe you didn’t like that but we never got anything that was just so awful but it was like oh i can cry every night the inspector report comes back about two or three times the length that it ought to be he’s like you know this is not a good sign you know maybe you know you know inventory was low you might have to do some painting but nothing major and we tried really hard to get some great houses and some good neighborhoods uh maybe put your personal touch on it without exorbitantly overpaying so proud of that so we are very proud cheers to us and to our clients who are patient correct and you know who really had the trust and faith in us and it’s very important in this business to have a good relationship with your realtor and have a level of trust that they have your back and they’re trying as hard as they can which we do we try super super hard yeah uh and honestly one of the things yeah one of the reasons why we’re able to do that is because our clients did trust us yes you know if you have your clients trusted you’re really acting your clients best interests you can reach those kind of outcomes really in very adverse market condition and i would recommend if you’re working with someone and you’re just like i just don’t think they care they’re really not into me they’re really not look around find someone else this is one of the most important financial decisions you will ever make and you want to have someone who is in your corner and has your back they’re not just looking for their next commission and paycheck they really want to make you happy they want to you know make you uh welcome to the community and everything else so if you’re not feeling that look around look around you don’t have to come to us we’d love to help you but we yeah there are lots of us out there yeah but uh they’re you know being in the business you come across agents and you know that there’s some that uh you know you would recommend uh wholeheartedly and and others well maybe we’re more run-of-the-mill you know and that’s okay i mean but you want someone you can you can trust and you feel confident and you feel confident 100 so if you’re not feeling that keep on searching because this is a very important decision you’ve got to have someone in your corner that can help you with repair people that can help you with where do i get carpeting where do i get you’ve got to get somebody with a complete package and something you trust enough that when she says you need to stop yeah you don’t want to pay any more than that you feel you feel like that’s good yeah yeah so anyway this is

Big Personalities Beware
Charming, loving family homes are very personalized - and often very hard to sell. In our continuing series on home staging, we explain why that is and what you should do about it to capture top value for your home. Check it out!Video Transcript
yeah we gotta make sure we’re recording these sometimes that happens folks yeah we just we do uh some of our best episodes one of our best episodes we’re not recorded and then he comes upstairs oh my god by the way uh we weren’t recording yeah hello hello you’re seeing a little behind the scenes behind the scenes stuff she’s the pickle lady that’s right i am her partner in crime and uh we are here in prescott arizona real estate agents uh extraordinaire correct yeah i am diane this is randall grove we are happy to uh help you guys out when you come visit if you’re looking for a home happy to help you list if you’re ready to do that yeah so we’re doing we’re we’re doing seller tips we have a series of seller tips and we wanted to focus on staging yeah uh and staging tips when you’re trying to sell your home as i’ve said before uh professional staging is not that big a deal here in prescott there’s not a lot of that going on there’s some yeah not a lot of that for the most part the sellers themselves or their agents are responsible for staging the home but just because no one’s paying money to have it professionally done does not mean it is not important it is vitally so it is and it’s necessary absolutely so this little staging tip is all about depersonalization depersonalization yes when people come in they don’t want to see i have pictures i know uh pictures of your family your children your daughters your wedding you and your wedding dress this that and the other i am so guilty of this yes i consider my daughters my own works of art yes so i’ve got beautiful portraits of them when they were four beautiful portraits of them when they were 18 it goes on and on and on i am the biggest one guilty of this but when i go to sell it’s all coming down when we go over to someone’s house uh just you know socially and their house isn’t personalized it’s kind of creepy yeah i don’t like you go in you don’t see any pictures of them or i think that’s with their children it’s like this person must be in witness protection yeah something i’m a little suspicious a little suspicious so we like homes that are warm and personalized and that the personal touch with all the pictures there’s nothing to say there’s anything wrong with decorating decorating your home in a personalized way it’s just when it comes time to sell that can get involved some of that needs to come down not all of it you keep a cute little picture tucked here and there yeah that still gives the warmth of hey this is a nice family home yeah we’ve had a good time here we’ve got good memories it gives good juju yeah but if it’s too too much of it yeah then people can’t see past my family moving in here this is where i could hang my portraits yes this is where i could hang my grandchildren’s pictures yes so if you’re covered with all of your stuff and it’s too much of it they can’t see past it and they can’t see themselves we want them to get an emotional connection to your home i’ve got to live here my family would be so happy here so a couple of points there first of all uh the reason why you do this is that uh the reason why stage in general is that people do not make rational decisions in buying a home they make emotional decisions they do and buying a home and you may say oh they can look past all my stuff where they could you know they could go home and photoshop it all out you know or they could you know do it in their own minds but what we’re telling you is they don’t in practice they don’t that’s not how they make decisions uh most people unlike investors most people most buyers will make an emotional gut decision in connecting with a home and if your personalized stuff doesn’t connect with them it’s going to get in the way of that process and they’re not going to connect with your home and they’re not going to want to move forward that’s true the other thing to kind of de-personalize is besides you know family photos or you know is anything that of religious nature that’s if you are overtly you know if you’ve got a lot of religious or even i hate to say it patriotic yes um which i don’t agree with but um yeah i mean we have religious stuff in our home we have oh you know that’s how we personalize our home right some people it could be that they are not religious correct it could be that they have a religion that is different than yours right and it’s not like they say oh you know i would say i’m jewish and all these crosses are around or vice versa and they say well you know i don’t i don’t like all these crosses i don’t like this house they won’t even be able to articulate it correct they just won’t connect with the house they won’t even be able to explain why there was something about the house that just didn’t feel right right you know and that’s what we’re trying to avoid absolutely i mean i have all of that i love it all i have buddhas i have catholic things i have dude jewish thing yeah i like to cover my bases i have it all i i want to make sure i got i have crystals you name it yeah i have a very eclectic home yeah i will say it’s very clever but that may not connect with a lot of people and it won’t they may be like what does she have some weird stuff weird stuff that was a weird house and i’ll be the first one to open it it is so i agree you know so when i do go to sell i will remove some of those items just because again we want it to be a clean slate yeah that people can see you know their special things coming in their special photos right uh portraits and things like that a quick rule of thumb when it comes to family pictures so if you go to a place like say michael’s and you buy picture frames most of the picture frames will have pictures in them yep you know showing you you know this is where you would put your family but they’re kind of sort of generic looking family photos if you don’t have a lot of family photos and it just looks like a family there’s nothing particularly different like it it could be the picture that they put in the frames at michael’s and sell the to sell the frame if that’s the case then it’s probably not so personalized that you need to get rid of it but if it’s you know like uh halloween costumes or something just kind of strange that you wouldn’t see at michael’s then you probably need to yeah yeah that is just keep it light keep it simple keep it not too crazy like my house and you’ll do just fine but the most important thing out of all of this is when your agent is nicely suggesting hey you know you might want to remove this you might don’t not argue but don’t get defensive don’t be insulted it’s not meant in that way at all it’s just having done this thousands of times and helping people find their place and the feedback we get back we know what your house will be tagged about it’ll be like oh gosh did you see that that was terrible and so just listen to us ahead of time and save yourself a lot of heartache yeah and it may not be fun to hear and it may be i’m not really comfortable i understand i mean i get tagged myself so it’s a it’s a pain but we’re telling you it will put money in your pocket it will put money in your pocket and it will save you uh you know have the house sold pretty quickly so it’s all in your best interest too personal absolutely in your best interest so depersonalize depersonalize depersonalize and when someone suggested like we suggested to you just take it with a good heart and say okay thanks all right good points here if you look for more good points you might want to go to pickle411.com yep that is our information center everything there is free highly entertaining and insightful yep it’s one awards no it hasn’t won awards not yet we’re

say it’s an older subdivision called
antelope hills
um it has a great public golf course
it’s located kind of close to the
airport
very convenient yeah up and coming well
i mean again
it has been there a while it’s been
there quite a while uh it used to be way
out and i guess maybe the middle of
nowhere close to the airport back in the
day back in the day but that little area
which is uh 89 and 89a
is really up and coming granite dells is
close by there uh dorne has some
communities right there
and old antelope hill has been there a
while suddenly coming back coming back
to life yeah people are discovering it
people are buying and and
updating and making the houses great
and it’s very charming kind of a little
pocket area
and
it’s really cool especially for you
people who might be pilots and you have
your own private plane you can park
right there um and you’d be right there
to take off
from your home or if you just don’t want
to be like me you just sit and watch the
private plane some people love to watch
the planes come and then you get to it’s
you know mesmerized you get to be there
for their show and everything yeah
there’s an air show which is on every
show
right there that’s right well we always
we i think we did uh we may have done a
wind down on the um
what’s the little diner in the airport
i think we i think we did susie’s before

north course in the south of course i i
don’t know very popular very very very
nice course and there’s also a little
clubhouse associated with the uh with
golf course right a great bar as some
snack bar food
so we were there with uh with our
friends and having a good time so it’s
really great um after a round of golf
yeah
depending if you’re in a good mood or a
sad mood you can go right up to that bar
and have some drinks
celebrate or drown your uh ground you
saw right that’s right yeah you can have
a good time yeah so we had good some
good cocktails they had a a a hard
arnold arnold palmer yeah uh which was
good i had something i forget but it was
an interesting
uh drink very reasonably priced
everything there is reasonably priced
it’s a nice little area to get together
so you can get a really nice house um uh
and maybe fix it up at a fairly decent
price
and then there’s some that are already
fixed up that it’s it’s just a deal i

Crazy for Pickle Ball
As athletes grow older, they look for sports that are less demanding on the joints and more social. For Baby Boomers, more and more that's Pickle Ball. In the episode we discuss this new craze, the facilities available in Prescott, and how Prescottonians are getting out of the house and into the kitchen.Video Transcript
hello hello hello the beeps randall and diane bro here choose fickle lady in prescott arizona we’re your fellow helpful realtors eager to help you find a place here or eager we’re here to serve what can i say what can i say i like it yeah so we’re here to talk about something that is huge here and it may be huge where you are i’m not sure um but you know this is a big retirement town so a lot of folks come and now they can have the time of their lives no more work schedule no more commuting uh everybody’s worked hard and they’re like we are here to partay yeah so they’re looking for things to do and socialize and share time together and the thing that’s kind of taken off is pickleball pickleball well i i think pickleball has taken over the whole nation yeah it’s become very popular it’s a lot easier on the joints and and you know so um as we age you know it’s not quite so hard but you can still be active but without damaging yourself as we have done yeah and also too if you if you’re playing i have found that if you’re playing pickleball and the other players are much better than you you can still kind of have a game yes whereas if you’re playing tennis and the other person’s really good i mean it’s not going to be fun yeah it’s not fun so it’s it’s very social and very social and uh so a lot of people pick it up they have women’s pickleball they have men’s they have um men and women mixed doubles i knew there was a phrase for you i just was like yeah pickleball singles well i like it as as it’s also true in tennis uh when you play doubles it’s a lot easier yes you might have to cover half the court so we have the balls the same way i played singles once or twice a lot harder doubles is a lot more fun but we have a lot of friends who have picked up pickleball they love it they’ve like oh my gosh it’s become quite the social event for them and so in particular like we live in prescott lakes uh they have six or seven pickleball courts that’s how big it’s gotten and they keep adding more courts and so a lot of people here have joined the pickleball club and so they meet and they have all the way from the very beginners to advanced so don’t feel intimidated if you move here uh everybody’s super welcoming happy to teach you and you can as you grow you can bump up uh so it’s as competitive or as relaxed and fun as you want to make it absolutely so we tried a couple of times we’re just too busy and we’re not retired that and it’s hard for us not to curse it’s hard yeah i wasn’t gonna say it but they do have some nice rules everybody’s uh very uh gentlemanly and ladylike and i missed a couple of times and i said the s word you know and um so yeah that was very hard for me um but i would i would train myself if i had more time i would learn how to control that but so even if you don’t live in prescott lakes they have public pickleball courts uh off of willow uh creek and that off of that street they have public courts and lots of people join there so even if you’re not a resident of prescott lakes there’s plenty of other opportunity for you to play pickleball and those things are big too rumor is rumor is we had an old sears that closed in the shopping center and we have heard i think it’s pretty definite they are gonna they they’re working on converting the whole interior into indoor pickleball courts yeah which i think is pretty cool that’s like yeah that’s like yeah yeah the the [Music] shopping center thing is is in decline has been for at least you know they’re dying on the vine and it’s sad you know to see especially around christmas time you know shopping centers were such an important part of christmas and now they’re kind of dying on the vines so yeah i was wondering i wish someone would come up with a new use for these spaces and yeah a place where the community can come together and when i heard the pickleball i think it’s brilliant oh my god that’s brilliant because then if it’s too hot in the summer you can be inside if it gets chilly willy in the winter i mean i think that’s ideal yeah you do the food court thing and it’ll be open to the public and everything else so anyway if you are a huge pickleball player or you’re thinking about picking it up uh prescott is the town for pickleball it is huge and people just have so much fun meeting other couples other people and then you develop other friendships so it’s a great way to meet people so we highly recommend prescott for pickleball there you go yeah and even at prescott lakes they hire the national pickleball coach yeah there’s a national pickleball coach and he came to prescott lakes to give personalized instruction and uh classes yeah so it’s uh it’s a big deal here so anyway if you’re thinking about it or if you are already a devotee of pickleball this is the town for you yeah and the people could not be more fun oh yeah it’s nice it’s nice so that’s our tip of the day about pickleball if you want to learn more about pickleball more about prescott more about real estate there’s a place to go that is pickle 411.com that is our information center whether you’re a buyer seller somewhere in between lots of free useful

Video Transcriptwell good morning mr bro good morning
diana randall bro here she’s thick lady
we’re in prescott arizona i am a pickle
lady we are located in gorgeous gorgeous
prescott that’s good
enjoying what happy fall y’all happy
fall y’all fall is here
fell it fell it’s falling no it hasn’t
fallen but it has arrived
and it’s been beautiful a little nip in
the morning feels really good yeah we’re
kind of down to
like in the 40s and in the daytime we’re
hitting 70 or 72
beautiful blue skies i mean
you just can’t argue with it it’s nice
it’s been great it’s nice it’s great to
take our peeps out on tours yeah and uh
everyone’s just raving about the weather
so anyway we’re happy falls here yeah
absolutely and we’re really happy to
talk about
montezuma’s tavern montezuma’s tavern so
first uh yeah first a word about
montezuma so evidently the guy they
named prescott after and
why he pronounces that that way is a
whole other story we’ll tell that some
other time but anyway he was a historian
and he uh wrote about how the local
people in the prescott area
were all related to the aztecs which
would include montezuma
and historical figures like cortez
completely and utterly wrong just
totally wrong absolutely wrong no no
relation whatsoever he tried i guess he
tried he tried he thought he was making
the right connection yeah so montezuma’s
tavern is on montezuma amongst them
which is a big street here right right
close to cortez yeah right around the
the square yeah yeah so all around the
square you’ll find cortez martizuma
what’s the other streets no one knows we
don’t know but anyway yeah a lot of the
india uh uh aztec names you’ll find red
white square street’s uh named and
that’s why yeah we’re not stupid we’re
just historically that’s right so all
right dr bro yeah there you go with your
elections
uh
people will argue about whether it is
part of whiskey row or not
whiskey row is clearly it starts with st
michael’s bistro
uh it’s it’s one block long and it
fronts uh across the street from the
courthouse correct uh but for years
they’ve been trying to get people to
start thinking about this the next just
cross that little side street and
there’s a whole nother whole little
block yeah of really beautiful buildings
and uh
some good restaurants down there too
yeah of which one of these is
montezuma’s tavern
so uh we went there we had some good
friends don and jan shout out to you don
and jan yeah uh they’re in florida right
now
we hate when they go back to florida but
yeah we were out with a bunch of friends
uh doing music and we went in the
monsoons tavern and there and there they
were they were back in town back in
business they are they love whiskey row
and all the music and for all of you
people who are uh love live music and
your live music aficionados
whiskey row is the place to go yeah
montezuma’s tavern set we’ve got a
really nice venue
uh you go inside and there’s an internal
courtyard
so you’re actually sitting outside it’s
really quite pleasant very nice and uh
it have music there a really neat
looking bar cool yeah a good selection
of drinks and everything so we stumbled
in there with some other friends and we
found our old friends and we all joined
up at a big table and had a great
evening enjoying the the stars and uh
listening to some live music and a
little bit of dancing
and good drinks
so montezuma’s tavern is a great little
place to kind of duck in
and enjoy that live music yeah and you
know they have some crowds but it’s not
you know it’s all fun it’s not like the
crush of humanity yeah which we hate
yeah you know the older you get can’t
take that crush of humanity
this is just right yeah
this is called haunted kitchen or
something that chronicles the building
has several establishments in it there’s
another bar upstairs we’ll talk about
some other time yeah uh there’s a
restaurant you can order in food but
montezuma’s tavern is about drinking and
music and live music
under the stars
in a really cute courtyard that kind of
reminds me a little bit of a new orleans
of course yeah it has a has a pat
o’brien’s kind of feeling it does i
think that’s why we connected with yeah
yeah but anyway so if you’re a
honky-tonk kind of person and you just
kind of like to walk around the square
and uh hear some live music montezuma’s
tavern is the place for you you may see
us there with don and jan yeah when they

Hauled Water
Moving to a mountain town may bring to mind images of rugged outdoor living in remote forests... eating wild nuts and berries with the other animals. Well, dreams of getting away and off the grid are possible, but you'll need water. Here's how that works.Video Transcript
well good afternoon hello peeps this is diane and randall bro yes i am the pickle lady here in prescott and this is my sidekick here he always makes sure the car is stocked with pickles that’s right because everywhere i go somebody’s like could i have some could i have something so uh he’s my little stock boy yeah and uh making sure he’s stuck in the van with pictures right he makes sure the inventory is up he’s like uh are we down on pickles time for you to get i’m gonna do production she that she’s i do all the production production i just stock the heat stocks and make sure hey i think you need to make some more yeah i’m like okay let me get right on that right on there but anyway pickle lady pickle lady that’s what that’s all about so if i see you or if you come visit you too because we’ll get some pickles but we’re here to talk about something interesting i had never heard of i’m from the deep south yeah it’s called hauled water yeah that’s how we call it that’s how we say h-a-u-l-e-d it’s like called gas except it’s water right exactly so halt water i’m like so i heard this term but it wasn’t i say hall they said hurled girls i can’t even say we’re not allowed to say that people in arizona have an accent because we’re not from here right yeah we’re the ones with i can’t do it it was like um anyway so somebody was saying i need to get um some hold the hold hold water and hold and hold hold on and i said i don’t don’t know what that they were like don’t you have the number and i’m like i don’t what is that could you say it again and they kept saying it the way they were hauled her and i said i’m so sorry i don’t know what that means and then i said could you spell it and then i said oh hold hard okay i got it i got it and so what that is is sometimes in some areas here because where we live we grew up in the suburbs and everybody was on city water and water whatever and things like that yeah it came from the tap um so here uh especially in some more remote areas up the mountains and everything you don’t you either have to have a private well or a shared well there’s no city you know they can’t get the the water to you i mean up a mountain so they’ll have uh wells and sometimes even that is not enough and the well may run low so in addition to that they will get hauled water ordered and that comes in giant what is it like two or five hundred gallons yeah i know more than that that yeah i think it tanks like two thousand gallons or something and so they’ll bring this giant plastic container that will sit on your property and that can be used for additional things or emptied into that well and that’s another way to get that water there yeah so it’s literally driven in a truck yeah and driven into the actual they literally call it yeah so if you have a well particularly if your well doesn’t produce that that much water quickly you know the the quantity is not good you’ll have a storage tank you get a storage tank so the well is constantly pumping water into the storage tank and you draw the water from the storage tank uh if you consume the water faster than your well as pumping into the storage tank well you’re going to have to top it off or eventually you’re going to run out and that’s hot water that’s what they do they’ll they’ll come out and they pour the water into your storage tank and uh i i it’s like i don’t know three or four hundred dollars to have the water hold out right and uh we looked at one house and particularly had two storage tanks so you’re looking at you know about 700 bucks to uh to fill up and uh the people who were selling the house there were just two people living there and i mean this part time yeah it was a weekend getaway yeah cabin but it so that was sufficient yeah for two people it worked fine the well produced enough that if there’s a shortfall there it’s not much so you might have to haul the water out once or twice a year yeah uh but our buyers wanted to use the property for an airbnb and that’s when four people come in like they will burn they would run through that water fast so a lot of times people will call us and they’re like i want a cabin in the woods and i want that these are things to think about um because it isn’t going to be on city water yeah and you will have to make sure your well doesn’t go dry and you need to consider if you want to use it as an airbnb that you have a very good producing well yeah that you won’t have to rely on halt water because that could get costly for you yeah well if you’re if the place that you’re again running with the with the uh scenario that you want to do in airbnb uh you don’t want to buy a big house because lots of people will go in there and use that water water yeah but if a small place that might work it might work you know if it’s just you you know you and your spouse and every now and then you have the kids in for a holiday you’re probably going to have to top up the tanks for the holiday uh but that might be doable you know it really depends on how much your wells producing how big your storage tanks are uh and how many people are going to be there so i put together like a little spreadsheet so yeah we as your agent if you’re interested in that we we’ve kind of learned some information yeah we now have a spreadsheet so when we look at how many gallons per minute is that well producing and we can tell you that’s going to be a problem or that’s great yeah you’re you’re done how many people yeah so it’s something as a realtor here in prescott you kind of have to be educated on um it’s kind of unusual we weren’t used to it coming from suburban areas and now we know what hauled water means even when they pronounce it a weird way now we get it so every day as i say living and learning or as my daughter sings that song all the time living and learning every day she says that every day yep she well it’s her song it’s her song it’s not not a not a popular one but not like a jay-z no no jay-z so yeah so that was something that we learned and are are now quite educated yeah so if you are coming here yeah and if you’re looking for some place remote particularly up the mountain uh you might be looking at hot water yep and uh and we can help you make a good decision there it’s it’s not necessarily a deal killer depends on um you know what you’re trying to do what you’re trying to accomplish so that is our little chapter on hold [Music] but i got it now so anyway i hope that this is a little tip for you if you’re thinking about living remotely things to keep in
