  hello hello peeps good to see everybody this morning happy to be here Diana Randall bro we are here your local real estate uh Team husband and wife um we used to be boyfriend girlfriend no but uh yeah now we’re just now we’re just ball and chain you know it is almost 40 years yeah but anyway that’s okay here with another tip for you and this is sort of a tangential real estate thing yeah so you see you know you see these these different styles come in and out one of the had to have things in the past were the Deep Garden tubs right (00:46) jacuzzi tub with a jacuzzi tub oh go yeah but not only am I my tub gonna make me clean but it’s gonna it’s gonna make me feel relaxed and invigorated and all that with the Jets and now there’s they’ve stopped doing that the the the tubs are uh they’re kind of dying you don’t see them as much anymore you don’t see them too much people want big huge walk-in showers yeah they or big tubs that they stand with the the tubs with the feet we’re seeing some of that too oh yeah yeah yeah so but what we found (01:14) is something we learned I didn’t even know this but if you have a jetted tub to keep it in good operating um condition you should every month put run a little bit of bleach and or vinegar and or no not ends not ends you can’t put vinegar and bleach at the same time I didn’t I said and or yeah and or just say or or you can’t say don’t do and yeah don’t you if you put bleach if you put bleach and vinegar you will release chlorine gas and kill yourself yeah do not combine it do not combine it so (01:46) don’t do and or just do or was my point oh Lord yeah there it is so you could do punch him in the throat yeah go ahead now please please do it the uh um you you can do bleach about a half cup m uh you can do vinegar about two cups again don’t thr them together or you can do dishwashing uh uh detergent don’t do regular detergent or your bathroom will fill with SIDS uh but just you know I would do I would do vinegar I do a couple of couple of uh things of vinegar and then run it for about 30 minutes and (02:19) then drain it and then fill it with cold water and run that for about 30 minutes and drain it done the vast majority of people don’t use their their jetted tubs because they get dirty then when you turn them on all this Gunk comes out right and then they stop and people don’t want the tubs anymore because they they’re they get dirty it’s gross and it’s they’re so easy to clean it’s just it’s just maintenance it’s just it’s just maintenance yeah so we learned this have we done it yet no but I think it’s (02:47) a great idea yeah uh I’m excited to try it she still hasn’t done it but uh yeah but I have the knowledge and knowledge is power my friends you know that the power to take action that’s right so I will do it and it keeps your uh your jets in great operating condition without that nasty stuff floating in there when you do use it remember the first time you got into a jetted deep tub how wonderful that was bring that back into your life we need to put these jetted tubs back on the map because they’ve got a bum wrap they do they do (03:20) just a little bit of so we didn’t know this and we had a good friend it’s like yeah you just maintained it’s super clean and I’m like oh wow did not know this so we just thought we threw this out there to you if you got jetted tubs honest yeah next time we have a a listing with a jetted tub we have to go over and do that because sometimes the inspectors will turn on the the Jets you know so yeah you got to do that it can be scary can be really scary so anyway just thought we’d pass on that helpful (03:45) tip yeah it’s not fun it’s not sexy but it is helpful well Jed tubs can be sexy okay not when they’re dirty not when they’re dirty no no there’s nothing sexy about no then you’re jumping out I got to get out of here I can’t do it yeah exactly so anyway hope this is helpful to you out there listening if you have a jetted tub get out there and take care of it that’s exactly right that’s her tip of the day you like tips there’s a place to go it’s called pickle 411.com that is our free information (04:17) site whether you’re a buyer seller somewhere in between there’s information waiting for you that will Amaze the stound educate and inform oddly enough we have information that will inform you and uh it’ll do other things to you I don’t yeah yeah write us and let us know what our what our free information site does to you because we’re we’re looking for more ways to describe it one way we always describe it is it’s free it’s absolutely free you can send us money if you want but you don’t have to because (04:47) it’s free all right my friends thank you for reaching out and uh and I hope that this is helpful to you and we look forward to hearing from you soon hopefully all right take care bye bye 

hello hello hello hello peeps Diana Randall bro here that’s us we are your friendly husband and wife team helping you find your beautiful home here in Prescot Arizona that’s right today we wanted to talk about something we get this question a lot uh especially when we’re doing listings if you have a home that’s about 20 years old or older the couple of things we would recommend always have it pre-inspected especially if it’s an older home because there are a lot lot of things that may come up usually the roof is very important yeah usually roof’s one of those so if you have an original roof I would highly recommend that you have a roof inspector come out before you even go in the market he can tell you this roof is marginal you might have five to 10 years he could tell you it is shot time to you know call it um you always want to find out before because once you get under contract if something comes up during inspection you don’t want to queer the deal and people walk away like I don’t want to put a whole new roof on yeah yeah if that does happen um there are lots of ways to approach that you can either say hey let’s talk to the buyer and say hey we’ll get a a quote on this roof do you want to split it maybe you know when you negotiate on repairs we can split the cost of that would you be open to that yeah uh you can um yeah if the obviously if the roof is completely shot you’re best off just just put a roof on it move forward you will never sell your going to sell you’ll get offers they take it out of the price you’re going to end up in the same place anyway right if you’re let’s say your home is 15 years old and we’re talking about composite roof by the way for tile composition composition Ro yes tile roof no that’s entirely different yeah so let’s say the home is 15 years old and the roof is you know rated 20 25 years so the buyer looks at it well you know there’s some things that uh you know this the roof is looking bad I know if I stay here for 10 more years I’m going have to get a new roof you know and they’re kind of looking at the seller looking for money they don’t get a new it’s not a new home they don’t get a necessarily get a new roof uh unless the roof is completely shot completely shot typically what we’ll do is we will negotiate a deal where the the seller makes some sort of contribution usually it’s half if the roof is pretty bad you know has maybe another five years you might pay half maybe a little less if if the home’s a little younger uh but if you are on the buyer side uh don’t think you’re getting a brand new roof it usually just doesn’t work that way usually it ends up with the seller paying some of the cost of the roof and also at some point particularly if we’ve had like a terrible hail storm or this and that we can recommend call your insurance company to the seller and say hey can you get out here and see if we can make a claim yeah and then you can get a whole new roof um particular particularly in times of bad weather and things like that so there are a lot of ways to approach that um the worst thing is just to say you know uh I’m not going to even talk about the roof no it’s going to be called out it’s going to be called out it’s going to be called out uh so if you got a 25y old house with a 25y old roof before you even go on the market have it all inspected and decide what you’re going to do and what you’re going to negotiate on that because it is going to come up it’s going to be a sticking point roofs and tires are are the kinds of things you really they’re expensive it it hurts you to spend money on it because it’s not going to change your life at all yeah but if you are not aggressive about replacing them you will regret it yes uh you get a blow out in the highway you can lose a lot more than four tires that’s right you know and the same thing with your roof if if your roof leaks you can end up with a big problem problems like mold problems like walls that have to be torn yes and don’t think you’re going to pass it on to the next buyer it’s it’s really not it will be called out and it’s you can’t get around it you just can’t so accept it deal with it um try to take care of it so that your deal goes through seamlessly that’s the option yeah that’s you know we we that’s the ideal is just to have it you know I’ve already addressed it it’s good it’s cool don’t worry we know we’ve taken care of it buyers love that yeah yes when buyers are looking at a home that’s 20 years old they’re like do we have a new hot water heater this is what we get all the time new hot water heater do what about the HVAC is the heater and AC original is the roof original the RO if all of them are original most people will say I’m not interested move on to the next house yeah so these are not the fun things to pay for it’s not the cute sexy things to get uh you know where you’re like oh my house is so beautiful it’s not fun and we know we’ve been through it ourselves it’s just a fact of life most people don’t want to take on an older home with those kind of things so the only way you’re going to sell a home like that is at a deep discount correct a lot you’re going to lose a lot more than the cost of the roof absolutely absolutely uh in particular uh if a home has been uh inherited you know it’s an estate home yeah a lot of times there’s there are no funds available to do the RO we can help with that there are Financial vles uh that can that can help you with that and save you a lot of money in the long run um so if you for whatever reason there are no funds to do the updates that you need uh we can help you with that absolutely so just bite the bullet face facts take care of business so that you can sell and at a great price and move forward and be happy um just don’t fight it just accept it’s part of life it’s right just like have Circle life mom just like I have to accept him that’s right I’m still accept keep circling back I’m migratory she didn’t know that when she married me keep I keep trying to send him South but he keeps coming back keep coming back gets too hot you know I gotta come back so anyway just face facts my friends it’s it’s a painful thing but it’s part of life that’s right so anyway for more helpful tips please check us out at pickle 411.com and uh we give it all to you for free
