dropping by that yeah cheers to fedex guy yeah actually just have the camera tied to a stick and uh you know we’re kind of going for a pretty cutting edge here yeah cutting edge or cutting edge we’re 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 tell them about the airport but it’s all what you need yeah who you want to reinvent yourself that’s right right that’s right does that make sense californians california rancho prescottonia rancho

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

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

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
