We’re not only sharing tips for fire preparedness, but also telling you about a sanctuary that’ll make you feel safer than ever. Want a hint? The sanctuary starts with a “P.” Tune in and find out the details!
hello hello hello hello peeps uh happy to say hello to all of our fellow pickle peeps out there this is Diana Randall bro she’s pickle lady I am and I’m coming to you live from our beautiful little mountain BG yeah isn’t that a cute name ber yeah also town here in the mountains of Prescot Arizona say studio for our studio well we also are studio in the bur we also are in our special studio in the bur it’s a Burg Studio we have our own Green Room in our house that where we shoot all this great stuff for you guys that’s right so uh something we (00:38) wanted to talk to you about quite serious is fire preparedness fire preparedness um obviously this is a topic that’s very important uh and to a lot of folks out there especially those poor uh Souls out in California who have been subjected to the terrible tragedy of all the fires out there yeah absolutely now now we’ve talked about fire before fire preparedness prevention uh the firefighters we we’ve talked about fire a lot we get a lot of questions about fire I guess for obvious reasons (01:10) but we thought important it’s important we thought we just reiterate just because now fire is kind of top of mine so we thought we just uh recap some of the stuff that we’ve set before definitely so one good thing about our little town is uh we are very uh Progressive in treatment of potential fire risk and things like that proactive we are extremely proactive Progressive has come to mean a whole lot of things so well true well you know everything has come to mean a whole lot of other things you (01:40) know what I mean we are we are in other words we’re on the ball we’re proactive uh we don’t fool around our budget is there uh it’s never cut no um we stick to the budget we our mayor’s great about making sure the the policies are in place and follow through more importantly um so we have never we’ve lived here what eight and a half years yeah never ever have we even come close nor have we been required to evacuate uh because of the preparedness that our town has in the preset is sort of firefighting Central it it really is so the a lot of the uh well most of the firefighting (02:26) capability comes out of preset so the the airport here is where they launch all the firefighting uh Aviation uh you’ll see when there’s a fire going on somewhere they planes taken off constantly they fight everything all the way up into Flagstaff all the way down into the valley close to Phoenix and everything in between uh so the firefighters this is where most of them live because this is where where they’re coming out of and so a lot of pride in fire firefighting fire prevention here very (03:00) much honor our firemen and appreciate all that they do so a lot of folks who move here and brand new will be especially in the spring sometimes in the fall they’ll say oh there’s a fire there’s a fire it is just uh control burns control burns thank you you took the words right out of my mouth control burns it’s just control burns which is believe control burns here now in some areas uh you know people don’t like control burns or raking the undergrowth or whatever uh because they want to be natural what you need to understand is nature has a way of removing the undergrowth (03:35) it’s called fire right uh it’s very natural for fires to occur uh very natural for Forest to burn it’s been going on for thousands millions of years uh you know the the homes that burn in California from Nature’s point of view that’s just undergrowth right it’s just but that’s what nature does so if you don’t want homes to burn um you can’t go 100% now natural you you have to manage the forest and so we are very good about managing all of that um and so we will have these prescribed Burns do not panic every now and then if you see some black clouds and smoke it is our (04:14) fire department doing their job and protecting our little town um also we have two reservoirs here Watson Lake and Willow Lake and they are never run dry no uh they’re always pretty full and that is where a lot of our water is pull cold during during the firefighting so you’ll see like the big Chinook helicopters hovering over Willow Lake sucking water up it’s kind of cool it’s kind of cool watch it’s actually kind of cool to watch uh the process in place so you never have to worry very rarely uh unless we just don’t have a lot of rain or snowfall does it really get super low (04:50) um it’s pretty uh pumped up and active you know so it’s it’s all good we have good water source to fight fires yeah the other good thing here is our fire department ments are always open ready willing able give them a call they’ll come to your home and tell you how to protect your own home and how to be in the best firewise position so they’ll come out and tell you this tree has to go too close to the house they’ll give you the parameters they’ll walk you through it free of charge so it’s (05:22) a great program and everyone should utilize it especially if you’re living closer to some of the trees and things like that they’re happy to do it it’s part of their job willing to do it and everyone should really take advantage of it the other thing you should be aware of is so far so good we have not had a lot of um cancellations for fire Insurance here we are not required to have separate fire insurance as in other areas um yet so so far so good you don’t have to carry a separate fire Insurance uh there might be especially after what’s happening California (06:01) maybe some changes in rates but so far so good for people living here I mean nothing has changed here so yes and the fire insurance if you want it it is available right um most of the fires that our guys are putting out here in Prescot or in the forests in the mountains and stuff like that it you know basically never gets close to the city proper no and when there are fires within the city itself they are on it and immediately immediately so uh living here eight and a half years never had to (06:34) be evacuated never even came close thank goodness so uh just wanted to share that with you guys if you’re very concerned about the safety of our little town here and fires you pretty much are are are going to be okay um so nothing to number a number of people displaced looking for a place to go uh other people are kind of opting out and looking for a place to go we know you don’t want to go from fires to fires absolutely so just want to make it clear that you won’t have those kind of problems we don’t have those issues here and uh we’re on it we’re on it people um any of the fires (07:13) that you have heard about in Arizona usually from our town are about an hour out yeah there really are in desolate desolate areas far away and maybe it’s from a lightning strike or spark or something like that um but they’re right on it and take care of of it have never had major issues in the town proper so if you are concerned about that and wondering where can I land next where should I go we just wanted to let everyone out there know give you peace of mind if you come here you’re going (07:46) to be okay we’re we’re we’re on it and so to all of our folks out in California our hearts go out to you uh we wish you nothing but the best as you try to rebuild and we hope the best for all of you and uh anyway we just wanted to give you a big virtual hug wherever you are and uh we hope that uh you land on your feet soon so this is Rand and Dian bro coming to you here from Prescot Arizona if you need anything you can refer to our website yeah best place to go is pickle 411.com that is (08:20) our free information site whether you are a buyer seller or somewhere in between there’s something there that’s waiting for you that will Amaze Astound

If you want to avoid losing time on the market with a home that won’t sell due to the price not reflecting the market, then tune into this week’s episode! We have ways to help everyone avoid getting screwed (by the market)!
hello hello hello hello peeps we’re so excited to be here today absolutely coming to you from our wonderful quaint little town Prescot Arizona she’s presc pickle lady that’s me I’m her sidekick s girkin that’s right this is Diane and Randall bro uh so we wanted to talk to you about it’s kind of a kind of a disappointing thing that happens occasionally yeah it’s happened two or three times now it is a shall we say pattern or dynamic between listing agents and their clients the sellers we’ve seen this this same pattern of of (00:42) uh Behavior or whatever before and we just want to call it out make people consciously aware of it because I think a lot of people do this to their listing agents without really thinking it through and they don’t think things through so the the most important thing is if you’ve only been in the market with an agent for maybe two months and uh you haven’t quite gotten your offer and we talk about price well maybe we need to readjust price maybe what is your bottom line and if you stick firm to that bottom line um it makes it very (01:11) difficult particularly if you get a good cash offer to meet those requirements and make it happen so what happens is you get frustrated we get frustrated and then all of a sudden well we’re just going to move it on to somebody else we’re going to list with somebody else because we’ll we’ll get it you know we’ll make it happen so the unfortunate thing about that is you lose time on Market because then the new agent has to come in has to retake all of the pictures has to start the whole process all over again so you’re going to lose (01:40) about a month of Market time all because in essence you don’t want to admit that you were wrong about the price so this latest time we had a couple they wanted to sell their home for 1.1 million that was kind of their Break Even uh honestly the market would not support that we told them that we said you probably should yeah you probably should be selling more like a million maybe a million 50 but we are willing to do what you want at least temporarily and here’s part of the con you know the seller will say we’re in no (02:15) hurry yes uh we have plenty of money we’re willing to stick it out to get top dollar yep and then okay I you know I’ve met very few sellers who’ve told me otherwise we’re we’re ready there is no such thing as a patient seller you get into the situation and it’s annoying and you want it to be over as a very stressful time when you’re listen and I think everyone thinks my house is fantastic and it’s going to sell within a day it’s not covid times anymore folks yeah um there aren’t the biddy Moors anymore it and we don’t we don’t want to (02:50) be right no okay we would love to be able to wave our hands and change the situation for you we’re just telling you it is we have no vested interest in it being the way it is it’s just the way it is yeah and sometimes we had videos on this before sometimes you can find stupid money in the short term and we’re perfectly willing to try that for a few weeks and see if we can do that for you uh but you know in this particular case uh we actually got an offer around a million which is where we thought it a little bit over sellers refused to (03:27) accept it uh waited all of like three weeks uh this was like during the Christmas season where there are no showings anyway and call to tell us that well you’ve been fired we found another agent that we think can help us and then we found out well we’re going to list with her for million doll actually yes so had they accepted the first offer we were trying valiantly to they said millionar was there bottom line period end of sentence bottom line okay fine we made this deal happen for a million that offer decided it’s still a little too (04:04) much uh we want to walk too many upgrades for this house we’re walking okay well now they did not like the answer so they went on with this other agent who listed below a million yeah and they lost a month on the market and lost good quality times now here’s the thing all basically because they didn’t want to admit oh I was wrong well any but if they had just said look let’s just go a little under a million we would have been done in at by Thanksgiving oh yeah it would have been closed it would have been finished it (04:38) would have been um but they were determined to make that million doll Mark now they’re listed below a million so they’ll never get it they’ll never get it after commissions and after everything else they’re really going to be clearing you know scraping so the thing is trust your agents hang in there with your agents well first of all know you can trust absolutely and then trust them yes yeah so we’re happy if you want to try for a top dollar fine let’s try it let’s try it we’ll try it for a couple of weeks if we’re not getting there (05:11) we’ll lower the price where we thought it should have been you know in the first place we’re always willing to give you some leeway give you some opportunity but after a while we you know we need to just kind of reflect the market and move where we need to go and then close so if these you know people had just hung in there and said you know what it’s okay let’s just close it under a million will be done they would have been done months ago now it’s still on the market still on the market still hasn’t sold yeah as I said before we (05:42) have no particular vested interest at any particular price point yeah you know most people believe that real estate agents just want to price the things so low that it’s easy to sell so they can move on to the next sale maybe that’s true of some agents out there H it’s certainly not true of us it is not unusual at all for us to tell the seller your price expectations are too low we had a really good really good friend they they wanted to list the prices so how much you want to list it for and he says I don’t know 800 and we’re like 800 (06:13) he said yeah what’s wrong I said no we’re going to sell you a house for like a million dollars it’s based on the market you know it’s it’s is what it is and we want to tell you what it is we we don’t have any vested interest way we are truly looking out for your best interest trying to get you the most money in your pocket and we’ll try it your way if it doesn’t happen please listen to what we’re trying to suggest and adjust accordingly because nobody wants to be on the market this six months yeah this is like the second or (06:44) third time third time at least I can think of at least two other where so listen Toom and D instead of just lowering the price with us they fire us and go to another agent and then they price it where we told them they it’s like it’s nonsensical why did you do that you know it’s not logical it’s not logical and it’s very bad business for you you know um so we want to help you get a good price get a fair price get it sold get it done quickly and again this other home had just said we’ll go a little bit under a million they would (07:16) have been done by Thanksgiving yeah so now here we are in February and it’s still and we are not the kind of people that tell you I told you so told you so although you might think this video is yeah not it’s not I’m just saying this there is this Dynamic and you should just I’m calling it out because I think everyone who’s done this to us has done it without really thinking it through right you know it’s an irrational response and they’re doing it irrationally and not really thinking it and we totally get the stress you’re under the time (07:51) constraints it’s just not a pleasant process to sell your home it really isn’t um another thing you should also know the higher the price point these homes this is not a California Market where these homes will be snatched up in a day or two yeah we take the higher the price you know might take three or four months to get a really decent offer yeah so you have to be patient and buy your time and then we’ll get a good quality buyer ready to close and it’ll be a nice seamless transaction so take a deep breath trust in your agents don’t lose (08:27) time on the market by shopping around and now I’ll try this one oh wait now I’ll try this one no now I’ll try this one it’s really you’re going to be shooting yourself in the foot in the long run so that’s our little tips to you little tips of the day to our fellow uh listings to be that’s right and if you’re thinking about listing your home um just try to be calm cool and collected and uh let us guide you in the best way we can and get you to the Finish Line Okay so that’s our tip of the day this is Diane and Randall bro (09:02) coming to you from beautiful Prescot Arizona you can reach us at pickle 411.com that is our free information site whether you’re a buyer seller somewhere in between there’ll be something there waiting for you that will Amaze Astound entertain and

Ever wonder what it would be like to start over? What if you retired to a place where people know you for you, and not for your past? A community where you can have peace! Find out in today’s episode why we call Prescott the witness protection program.
good morning morning top of the morning to all of our friends and family out there yes I’m Randall with the Pres pickle lady Diane bro that’s me um we are your local Friendly husband and wife Team Real Estate team with exp realy and we’re happy to uh join you again and kind of give you some something that we found since we’ve moved here yeah it just goes toward the kind of folks that you meet

substitute family that’s right and support system that’s right and they are great uh just very relaxed people love you guys peace out so one of the terms that Bob threw out which I thought was hysterical and sort of summarizes the whole thing is he said uh preset is a bit like a witness protection program right so when you come here nobody knows who you are and nobody kind of (01:21) really wants to know your background no uh so it’s almost like everyone in town is a a witness being protected yes uh in particular if you spend time on the golf course nobody wants to hear what a no big time surgeon you were you were CEO of that or founder of this or any of that kind of stuff most people uh including our our uh fun traveling friends are all very accomplished people and people just H you they’re retired and that phase is over and nobody R it’s very very refreshing yeah very refeshing we live in Prescot Lakes uh we’re surrounded by a lot of golfers retired Folk (02:00) unfortunately we are not but we get to spend quality time with them and have a good time uh sometimes we get to travel with them and one thing that has struck both of us is that these folks have been at the top they are you know top CEOs they are like he said Top Doctors top the tops in their profession they have come here for Peace Quiet relaxation and they come here and retire and they don’t want to talk about that stuff anymore and what we find so nice and so refreshing there are no games here people don’t want to it’s not bragging on the golf course like there’s (02:37) no Keeping Up With A Jones no keeping up with the Joneses everybody’s chill they’re like you know what been there done that we’re just delighted to be here we have good health we’re living in a beautiful beautiful town and this is what we work for all of our lives and so it’s kind of like you know nobody ask what did you do what were you are you important nobody cares nobody cares yeah what they really want to know is do you want a glass of wine yeah which club do you want which club do you want um what and then it’s it always strikes me as we do get to know people (03:12) uh more intimately it’s like oh wow yeah really it’s not uncommon at all you’re having a having a conversation with somebody and you and for whatever reason something they did comes up and you’re like oh my god wow you’re like wow this person was a big deal big deal and uh you know and everyone SE you know nobody’s flaunting wealth or anything else unassuming it’s very unassuming and that’s is pres most of the guys we know are in presc legs presc Lakes is that way there may be some other I I mean we can’t speak for the whole town there may be (03:43) some other areas or some certain people that are snoody uh most people that we have coming in are looking for the opposite and if that’s the case if that’s how you describe yourself then you’re going to have a lot to choose from right so it’s important to know that when you come here just relax relx yeah you worked hard you deserve a good life and Prescot will give that to you you don’t need to keep playing the games and you know talking about work I mean I mean we have to because we’re still working and thank you to our friends who listen to us because sometimes (04:18) they’re like okay kind of like therapists yeah they’re are therapists but they also give us a lot of good Insight having been there done that so we value that very much but for the most part it is truly just beautiful re retirement you can enjoy you know the spoils of your you know labors labors and uh this is your time come here have fun there’s no games here just chill have fun meet some great people play some good golf pickle ball yeah um exercise have some great glasses of wine at the club or wherever um and we love that so it’s kind of like when you come here (04:56) park that prior life put that over here yeah and end enter joyfully gleefully happily yeah you don’t have to talk your way into the door into the witness protection program you’ll love it you’ll love it it’s so freeing and liberating and uh so we have learned a lot from our friends uh Bob and Charlie Kathy

Tired of seeing your next door neighbor’s bathroom through your window? We have the solution for you in this week’s episode. We give you tips for maintaining your privacy while keeping that natural light shining through your window.
hello hello hello hello peeps good morning to you this is r and Dian bro coming to you from presca Arizona she’s presca picol I am and we are some friendly helpful realtor team here in town that are happy to help you and pass on all kinds of advice and words of wisdom that’s right so the wisdom today is about window film window film now this is something we just did um our home is pretty close to another home and when I stand at the kitchen sink I’m so tired of looking at my neighbor’s roof and the side of his house it’s just not (00:43) a great view um same thing in the dining area so we’ve talked about it we’ve talked about it what can we do I’ve hung huge pieces of window um stain glass and that’s fine but it’s still not quite blocking that boring view so then we thought well let’s just replace the windows and then I got the price because I thought I’ll replace the windows with privacy glass and then I was like no that’s a lot of money so then how much was that that was like $2,000 to replace two windows yeah so then somebody said why don’t you get window film now I’m (01:20) not a fan of tinting windows some people are it’s not for me because it makes the house too dark in my opinion um yes it does protect your carpeting your rugs your furniture from getting Su damage but I don’t care about that I just don’t like my house to be dark I like bright sunshine in there well these two windows in particular don’t have direct sun shine right through either so so but the other solution is besides tinting is to do window film window film and film this film comes in all kinds of styles and (01:51) and um just design frosting oh yeah I mean rain glass and it it provides great great privacy but still allows a lot of sunshine to come through um but then it also blocks any gross views so I don’t see the roof anymore I just see kind of the cool pattern on my window I think I did rain I think I did rain and um it’s just enough it’s real popular and it was much cheaper I think it was $500 to do two giant Windows window so 1/4 the price and really you can’t tell you cannot tell at all can’t tell if it’s glass or it’s film but it’s really nice (02:33) so when people come in they don’t say oh my God your neighbor’s right there I see his roof it’s nice so um we just wanted to pass this tip on because I think it’s very helpful if you’re kind of close to other neighbors and you want some privacy but still want sunshine and uh investigate window film window film there’s all kinds of companies out there they don’t just do cars they’ll come and do your home yes and uh so instead of replacing glass or replacing windows which is way more expensive you can just get the film yeah and if you decide you (03:05) know later on you don’t like the rain glass anymore that’s right and you want to do frost or whatever you can remove the film and have new film put up there you go yeah so we love it and we were so excited and we just had it done and we can’t say enough good things about it that’s right so that we share with you yeah if you’re looking for some privacy don’t want to see your neighbors but don’t want to cover up your windows that’s the thing to do investigate window fil window film all kinds of designs that you can put up y (03:34) absolutely so highly recommend it it’s a very uh inexpensive way uh so really gives it a very upscale upscale feeling so if I ever go to sell my home in somebody comes in there chances are they will not notice that roof line right away yes um they’ll just say it’s good at blocking and if you look at the if you look at how much you have to invest versus the perceived value of a buyer one of the best investments you can make absolutely cheers to that there you go so we’re enjoying our window film our window film that is our tip of the day (04:09) if you like tips you go to pickle 411.com that’s our free information site whether you’re a buyer seller somewhere in between there’ll be something there waiting for you that will Amaze Astound educate and inform entertain and inform entertain there you go all those things Dem kicking lots and lots of good things can’t remember my four words there you go and it’s it’s only $20 no it’s not it’s free it’s free it’s from our heart to yours our heart to yours happy to share happy to share okay bye have a good day”

It may be the season to deck the halls, but maybe not if it’s a do-it-yourself job. As the horror stories we share in this episode show, putting up a deck can be a lot harder than it seems – and even downright dangerous. Come join the fun!
hello hello hello hello peeps Happy fall and holiday season yeah getting into December now this is Diana Randle bro coming to you live from our beautiful festive town of presc Arizona Arizona she’s the presca pickle lady that’s right so we are decorated if you haven’t heard Prescot is called Arizona’s Christmas city and that’s for a good reason it’s beautiful you should definitely make a trip during the holiday season yeah absolutely Christmas through January and come see all the lights and all that good stuff and this (00:38) this is tying in believe it or not to our topic of today which is do-it-yourself decks do it-yourself decks so I would never try to build a deck I’m not a handy person if I put together a deck it would kill people mhm but there are people out there who think they know how to put a deck together Ian you look at a deck it doesn’t look very complicated you know so people think well I can build a deck I can build a deck you might want to think Twi you really can’t we love our deck yeah we love our deck We Love Our Deck and as I (01:14) was saying we’re talking about the Christmas lights we just decorated all of our Deck with Christmas lights decks are wonderful decks are a great thing if a professionally Contra a professional contractor does the work that’s exactly right so a couple things you need to know first there a lot of regulations associated with decks like the space between the little what do you call them little posts or whatever that’s right yeah they can’t be too big can’t be too small uh but the big thing is in the horror story we heard from Matt our (01:46) inspector shout out to Matt shout out to Matt best inspector ever best inspector ever he was inspecting a home that had a homemade deck and it was on a manufactured home oh and the guy who built deck attached it to the wall of the manufactured home oh decks weigh a lot they weigh a lot where is this going not good I destroyed the house yeah I completely undermined all of the uh what are the the boards or whatever the the uh railings the oh the I can’t think of the something with an R that’s how much we know about building we don’t know (02:25) about building not good to attach a deck onto a manufa Jo and all that were uh kind of pulled the wall off well it it it undermined the so the the support structure under the house was undermined and twisted and the joists were falling out oh uh so not only did Matt not approve the house but he said uh you can’t enter this house until this is fixed because it is dangerous it could collapse at any minute and all the guy did was build a deck and attach it to his house decks are heavy you have to be very careful are heavy you got to be (02:59) really really care careful so especially a two story if you’re up on the second level doing a deck I mean then there’s even more you know the the beams underneath have to be a certain width and dimension and with part don’t second don’t guess that on your own believe me you have to have a professional it looks easy it’s it’s a lot it’s a lot of weight and when you’re dealing with that much wood uh you could kill yourself easily people will put uh stucco around like the you know make it look nice or whatever oh yeah and water Gets behind (03:32) it destroys the wood and suddenly the deck collapses if it’s connected to your house your house collapses yeah you you you need to know you really need to know what you’re doing you need to have a licensed general contractor um who knows what he’s doing understands a debt contractor contract and they’re out there you just they’re out there and they’re not that much money and uh if you build it yourself and then you it comes time to sell your home uh there’s a really good chance the inspector is g to find something wrong with it very (04:05) expensive to fix and it can undermine other aspects of your home yes so don’t fool around with it uh you get what you pay for so if you do it yourself and you’re trying to cheap out and and make it as as reasonable as possible chances are you’re either going to kill yourself or a guest that’s exactly or your house so uh just let the professionals handle it ex it’ll be perfect and you’ll have a great time and many years of enjoyment that’s right decks are a great great addition to a home yes they are they add (04:35) a lot of value a lot they add a lot of value you will get your money back out of your deck so we’re all about decks we’re all about decks the bigger the deck the better yeah you want a Big Deck that’s what they say nobody wants a small deck that’s what I’ve heard yeah so but don’t build your deck yourself yes I could make so many good jokes right now but but yeah so decks definitely add value so it is worth the investment you will get it back on resale provided it’s done correctly and professionally um and also I wouldn’t (05:12) even do wood on the deck I would do um what’s the concrete no the flooring not the flooring oh oh not wood you want uh tracks tracks yeah there you go I knew he would get it TRS yeah you absolutely need TRS for sure so just spend a little bit of extra money you’ll get it back on resale and you’ll have many many years of enjoyment We Love Our Deck abolutely we have a great time sitting back there and absolutely talking to people and having a good time so all for decks just make sure it’s done correctly

Picture this – you want to sell your home and you want to sell it for a high price (why not? Let’s live a little). In this week’s episode, we give you the two possibilities when you list for the higher price. One takes luck and the other…may take a little work, but has a HIGH success rate. Either way these are hot tips you won’t want to miss!
hello hello hello peeps this is Randol and diam brro here your local she’s Diane she’s also the lady I am the pickle presc Arizona that’s right uh we are your local Friendly full service amazing customer service husband and wife real estate team that’s us that’s us also of other people too yeah I’m not married to any of them that’s right yeah so we wanted to talk to you about how to get more than uh how to get more than your home is worth there you go sellers tend to want to do that so why not we (00:39) all do right we all want the best we can get yeah I you know every now and then we come across a seller who thinks their home is worth less than than it really is right uh and I always love that they say no we’re going to sell your home actually it’s worth more than that yeah it’s worth much more than that you know I you always love to have those conversations but they’re relatively rare tend to think their children all brilliant and attractive and most aren’t you know same thing with uh with homes (01:08) that’s har yeah it’s just the way life is so uh so usually we try to uh we try to talk sellers we think that the best place to price your home is exactly where it’s worth so we will do the comps and everything we have to do a windown on how I do comps at some point that’s right we don’t like to underprice and especially don’t like to overprice guys Co is over yeah CO’s over you’re not going to get that money that you got in covid times yeah let go of that dream yeah uh but some people just (01:43) they just refuse either they have to get more money or you know it’s just a blow to their egos or something they have to get more money so we thought we might talk about what are the options available if you want to get more money from your home then it’s really worth yep and the easiest one to understand is what we call stupid money so stupid money is people who have buyers who have more money than cents typically they’ve just sold something in another state uh typically much more than what they’re buying here they’re (02:23) downsizing to go into retirement so they are flush with cash they’re used to negotiate prices of homes that are 2 million 3 million and then they’re coming here and now they’re looking at homes that are like 800 a million um so they’re used to talking about numbers that are really really high if your home is $100,000 priced $100,000 more than it’s really worth you get one of these guys to come in and their agent for whatever reason is out to lunch yeah it might just happen you might get lucky it (02:59) might get get somebody who comes in and says you know what you’re telling me it’s really worth $875 but I love it and it’s only 950 which to me is a bargain coming from where I’m coming from I’m not going to equival over $100,000 so it’s it’s yeah so occasionally you get lucky with a buyer flush with funds and they’re happy and they don’t mind and they feel like they’re still getting a deal yeah so you might get what we call stupid money they’ll come in and be like (03:26) I don’t care love it it feels good feels right and I could never get this where I lived before so yeah so it works out for everybody so if you’re GNA do the stupid money thing you need to be quick about it because if you overprice your home and it sits on the market a long time it’s going to get stale uh this Market relies heavily on Buyer Agents because most buyers aren’t here and when agents get tired of thinking about your home they won’t think about your home anymore yep not going to recommend it to clients it’s (04:02) hard to get your home back on their map right so you might want to try the stupid money thing for a couple of weeks not too long maybe a month and then if it doesn’t work then you can say major discount you know we’ve discounted $100,000 and then that will get agents interested again in your home uh we’ll be glad if if you’re listing your home with us we’d be glad to use that tactic with you to try to get you that um it is rare that but it does happen from time to time we’ve seen a it does it’s a nice (04:37) little surprise yeah so that’s and it works out for both parties everybody’s happy that’s the easy the easy one is stupid money the other one is not so easy and that’s really spending a lot of time and effort and some money to Stage the home beautifully staged homes always sell even when the market is really really bet they sell and they sell for good prices uh the money that you spend in staging you’re going to get back several fold uh the idea there is to create an emotional bond with the buyer (05:15) for your home and you’re not going to get that unless you stage it very very well uh staging will pay for itself in that regard again if you’re interested in doing something like that we can work with you to do that a lot you know obviously a lot more involved than just the stupid money thing those are the two ways that we know of that’s it I don’t know of another way to make that happen yeah I mean we can we we advertise heavily everywhere too but yeah that’s pretty much it so when you’re pricing if (05:48) you want to go over keep these two things in mind if you really want top dollar you might have to yeah you know uh hope for stupid money and or pay some money to have it staged so now that that message was really aimed at our sellers uh now if you are a buyer chances are you’re selling someplace else you can use these tactics wherever your home is now that and that’s fine if you’re our buyer coming in here to presc it rest assured you will not be stupid money we will tell you what it’s worth we run (06:20) numbers on’ll that we sell we make sure that it’s been Priced Right so Absolut you can rely on us to make sure that you will not be a victim because if you are and you move into your home your neighbors will laugh at you stop they will they will laugh at you they could they you know neighbors love to come over and say I think you paid too much for that house hey you paid too much for that house are you aware you paid too much for that house which I think is appallingly rude but you know uh hey this is society we (06:55) live in nowadays people love to tell you what they think you don’t want to be that guy do not so anyway just wanted to let you know keep that in mind if you want a price High you know these are two things you know that you have to kind of hope for or be aware of so anyway hope that this helps and we hope that you’re having a great day today and we hope to hear from you soon fall is a beautiful time to come visit and tour the weather is outstanding here so we hope to hear from you soon absolutely and uh check us out at (07:29) pickle 41 1 one.com whether you’re a buyer seller

Flooding, fires, and earthquakes, oh my! With so many natural disasters happening, it’s overwhelming to figure out which home insurance you may need. Luckily we’re here to help! In this week’s episode, find out what you’ll need to protect your Prescott home.
hello hello hello beep good afternoon this is Diane and Randall bro geez pickle lady we’re in Prescot Arizona I am we are your friendly husband and wife realtor team today we’re being friendly yeah we’re being we’re friendly most of the time we we’re pretty friendly to each other from time to time we’re antagonistic but usually we’re quite friendly today we’re going to talk about insurance so this was By Request yes we get a fair number ofest for different subjects so a lot of people (00:32) are talking about insurance right now because it has become a major factor in homeownership absolutely especially we have family in New Orleans I know this affects a lot of people in California as well California Florida um so I guess the first thing to say is um you do not have to you were not required to have fire insurance or flood insurance in Prescot Arizona um we are not it’s not we’ve never even been evacuated here uh for threat of fire yes are there fires but usually they’re about an hour or two outside of town more the forest up in the mountain the (01:12) forest yeah not in presc well it might be within the Incorporated boundary of that is Prescot but prescot’s boundaries go up into the mountains they have some pretty obscure areas that are still considered preset so we have never in the town itself uh you are usually you’re not required to have fire insurance I know in other states it’s mandatory especially with all the wildfires happening um we do not have floods here there are some sections and I mean a very small percentage (01:45) that during monsoons might have a little bit of flash flooding um but those are more rural areas or you know smaller areas generally not the house I mean if you go into some a few neighborhoods there will be are that says Don’t drive here when there’s water right that’s because of monsoons they have surges of water that need to be uh uh gotten rid of very quickly that’s right and uh but not in homes uh and in all of our years of selling homes I can maybe think of one or two that FEMA (02:23) required them to have flood insurance because they were near ow Ling areas low Ling areas it’s very usual to find it um I’ve never so the majority of homes here you’re not required to have flood insurance um we’re a mile high so if it floods here then the arc should be coming yeah yeah start building Noah and his Arc are coming to save us all because if we ever get underwater we got a big problem going on it’s end of times basically so and getting back to the fire thing too you should (02:53) know that a big part of the firefighting effort in Arizona comes out of Prescot they fly out of the Regional Airport here uh so in the plains with the water go drop they go all that comes out of presc so the idea that there’s going to be a fire that’s uncontrollable in presc itself is very very remote never even come close nor have we ever had to been evacuated like nothing so I want you to feel safe and secure about that safe and secure about flooding don’t need to have earthquake insurance as well yes so but if you want to if you want to yeah if you want to you (03:32) can do it and it’s available it is absolutely uh we just changed our insurance recently to Travelers homeowners to Travelers and our Auto not an issue um we don’t have anybody pulling out it is getting a little dicey sometimes in some areas but in maybe other cities in Arizona but here we had absolutely no problem changing Insurance um our home is about 3,100 square feet and I want to say our homeowners is about 1,800 a year um but I added some extra stuff on there so it it probably (04:08) be a little bit cheaper depending on the size of your home and this that and the other now just to be clear we’re not speaking for the State of Arizona correct we are speaking for presc just pres so there are areas in Arizona where they do have fires down in the valley you know it gets to 120 degrees there in the summer they’re going to have fires yeah and they do and our firefighters FL you’ll see them flying out to go take care of it I can’t speak for those communities whether (04:35) fire insurance is available or how much it is or whether it’s required I honestly don’t know uh Arizona is a pretty big state now I do know like in certain areas in Louisiana some insurance companies are starting to pull out and they are cancelling people uh from what I have heard here it hasn’t happened here yet yeah I don’t expect it to for the most part that’s for her I don’t know if a hurricane has ever hit presc Arizona that would be a long shot but uh you should know if you are considering other communities uh moving to retire or otherwise (05:13) pretty much all along the Gulf of Mexico so that’s all along you know galvaston Houston Florida New Orleans all mobile all along the uh the Gulf Coast and then the Atlantic coast maybe even some of Texas too because they get a lot of lot of Florida this is an issue for lot car Georgia everything along the coast is starting to have trouble with uh hurricane because of the hurri and so the cost of insurance is going Skyhigh and so a lot of insurance companies are having to pull out is they simply can’t afford the claims to help people anymore so keep this all in mind (05:53) so far so good here in Prescot Arizona uh very reasonable we’ve been very happy haven’t had any issues and it’s uh coming from the Deep South it’s very nice not to have to have worry about flooding or hurricane and and yeah we just there was just a hurricane uh in New Orleans and we have just moved my mother from New Orleans to Prescot uh she’s uh staying in a community called touch Mark and uh just a few weeks after she got here there was a hurricane and she was pretty happy she didn’t have to evacuate no more worrying about that so so far so good folks (06:30) in terms of insurance here it’s pretty reasonable um you’re not required to carry all the extra ancillary Insurance such as earthquake flooding uh fire um which is pretty refreshing so um anyway uh this was a good question whoever asked us about that we’re happy to chat about it and let you know and reassure you that so far so good here uh nobody’s pulling out and you can still get very good coverage at a pretty decent price absolutely absolutely so that is our tip of the day about tip (07:02) of the day if you want if you have questions you want us to answer feel free to reach out to us and we’ll cover them uh that is our tip of the day if you like tips the place to go is pickle 411.

Every minute there seems to be a new crime report or a true crime documentary on a serial killer whose neighbors called him “a good guy and a great baker.” It’s scary! Check out today’s video to learn about the amazing tool that can alleviate these fears.
hello hello hello hello peeps Rand and diam bro Here I Am the pickle lady yeah she’s pickle lady I am he is the pickle man pickle man girkin girkin yeah whatever whatever whatever so we are here um something we’d really like to share with all potential future buyers it’s a good thing to do uh and check out when you’re doing your due diligence when you’re moving into especially most of our folks are moving from out of state they are not used to this area they don’t know anything about it so um (00:39) it’s very important to do a lot of due diligence figure out if you’re concerned about crime yes we can’t give you percentages we don’t know I mean I’m not I’m not in the police force yes but we have a great resource for you to check out called Community Crim map.com yes so you oddly enough it is a map of the crime in your community thereally what it is so you can get on there and it will tell you suppose you’re looking at Prescot Lakes I want to move to Prescot Lakes uh what’s the crime rate there is (01:11) there a lot of crime uh does it go over sex offenders and it does so so you choose yeah it will ask you if it’s okay for it to dial into your location if that’s where you want to do your search uh or you can give it a zip code or an address or something you can give it a radius you know I want to know about everything within five miles or whatever it is and you get to pick the crime the crime that you’re interested in so you know maybe you’re KCK your crime yeah maybe you’re a criminal you want to know (01:44) where to go uh or maybe you just want to be safe and you want to make sure there’s no crime around you whatever crimes concern you choose those yep and in the time for the location that you’ve chosen for the time frame that you’ve chosen it will show you a map and it will point out every incident u in your community can you do several at one time like can you say sex offenders murders suicide you can oh cool so you don’t have to keep doing individual that’s cool people you don’t have to do (02:14) individual searches you can do it all in one Fell Swoop yeah yeah what about banking crimes no I’m kidding I I I don’t know if they they had specific but they do had they did have arm robbery oh really yeah I mean it’s very specific I want to say and and I’ll I’ll give a give you guys a screenshot you can see what I’m talking about that’s great but I guess it was um maybe about 50 different uh checkboxes that you could do and uh so if you’re just looking for Vi violent crimes or you know maybe you (02:49) have you know bought a car and you’re worried that someone’s going to steal your car you might want just crime crime theft I mean car theft car theft uh so you can kind of dial in what you want uh long story short I I checked most of the boxes I did five years and I did the whole Prescot area including PV and there was almost nothing there were a couple of U domestic uh violence you know uh in in in a couple of residential areas so you know that’s it wasn’t us you know it’s like yeah well just one (03:22) just one of them was us the rest of them were other people you know that’s a joke folks yeah that’s a joke she only beats me when uh when the when the police aren’t looking so uh yeah so so it there was very little going on and what was there was clearly like within a home so if a family so this is important to know as well in the state of Arizona um it does not have to be disclosed if you are selling a home if there was a murder there or a suicide or a death um sellers do not have to disclose that that’s (03:57) right if they don’t share it with us the agents first of all we’ll never know if they do share it with us we do not have to I don’t know if we’re allowed to say we’re not allowed unless we are specifically asked speciically asked if a buyer ask us directly and we know the answer yeah then we have to you know but it’s not an automatic disclosure so you should know that when you’re coming here to buy I know in certain States like California it has to be it’s written up it’s it’s in the disclosures (04:30) and it’s shared with everyone not so in Arizona so this uh Community crime map would be a good thing for you to try to investigate if you were worried about something like that um we may not always be told ourselves not all sell share anything you know with us so um so it’s it’s a good resource it’s a great res particularly when you were first looking at a community you know you don’t know the community that to me would be one of the very first filters is let tell me about the crime absolutely I don’t know (05:02) if it tells you suicides I I’d have to think about that but certainly you know uh uh violent assault and you know assault and battery breaking and entering all that stuff was in there that’s sound a little now we’re getting heavy yeah but but none of it showed up there was just uh just one or two it’s a downer but well I mean it’s it’s a downer if it’s there but it was at least not here not the other thing on this is you may be thinking about moving and uh one of the first things you want (05:33) to know about a potential new community for yourself is the crime you don’t want to go someplace where there’s lots of crime sure and uh despite what the FBI says you know crime I people’s the impression people have and most of the people I talk to crime’s kind of On The Rise um you know there’ve been uh uh police uh departments have been underfunded defunded you know there there’s a lot of stuff going on so you want to be very careful but I think you also want to check your own Community (06:05) yeah maybe you’re thinking I don’t know maybe I want to move I don’t I live in a great place newspapers vary from location to location some y some communities the newspapers will uh will re reveal everything others not so much things are glossed over yeah some in some areas things are glossed over so you may be very surprised at how many things are going on right around you that might be the last uh the last straw that helps you make up your mind to get out move forward so something to think about as well so I think it’s a great (06:42) resource and we love to share it with all of our clients it’s very important for you to do some studying up on that absolutely and see if wherever you’re going to wash up you’re going to be happy and you’re going to feel safe and secure uh odds are in Prescot and presca Valley you will be yes so it’s good to know um um so yeah we wanted to share that with you yeah to me it was a big confirmation because I’ve been

Worried about medical care in a small town like Prescott?
In this episode we give you the lowdown on what the health systems are like and what you can expect if you move here… Plus some helpful tips on getting the care you need.
bour oh a French fris hello hello hello Diane and Randall bro here coming to you this afternoon from Prescot Arizona we are your local helpful efficient amazing uh real estate team that’s us uh Rand and Dian bro here did I say my name but I’ll say it again you just keep saying it just in case you didn’t catch it never get old I’m also called the pickle lady pickle lady yeah so we are here to talk we get this a lot we get a lot of questions and I completely understand it’s a great question about (00:39) Medical Care yeah Medical Care here in presc so I think we may have covered this before but we probably did every now and then you need to retread something there there it’s unusual for someone to come and visit us and go around with us and not ask us this question absolutely so the answer is yes we do have medical care there isn’t and end a video cut Finn as they say Finn good no yeah we did a good job on that we covered that we went into great depth y uh no yes we do have medical care um you should know there are two major (01:14) hospitals one in Prescot one in Prescot Valley they are run by Dignity Health uh we have a lot of so they referred to as the East Campus and the west campus that’s right we also have there are Specialists here there isn’t one doctor’s office here uh there’s a lot of satellites there’s cardiologist if God forbid you have cancer um you can pretty much go down to Phoenix to um the Mayo Clinic the Cancer Centers down there MD Anderson MD Anderson all the big cancer people yeah the research hospitals are obviously in (01:49) a big city you can’t have we can’t sustain a huge research hospital here in our small town most of that is right around the scottsd area that’s about an hour and a half an hour and 45 minutes away but the good news is you go down there you get your protocol there are satellite offices in Prescot so once they lay out your plan of action uh you don’t even have to usually you don’t have to go back down there you can do it here in Prescot with your orders um but yeah we’ve got a lot of friends uh they (02:19) have a good cardiologist several here uh good uh What do you call them gastrologist gastro yeah uh I’m looking for a good psychiatrist yeah yeah yeah well like a lot of the kind of thing where you have uh ongoing uh ongoing care like rehab you know not not the drug rehab but you know you got a a new knee a new hip yeah you know they’ll have that kind of stuff here we don’t want you to think oh there’s only one doctor’s office whatever will I do yeah now they’re here and the hospitals are (02:51) actively engaging trying to improve and get younger doctors in here as well so we are growing and evolving y um there are also a lot of concierge doctors here which I don’t know where you are from your neck of the woods but um that’s a new trend where you can put up two to $4,000 and you have your own personal doctor you can go see whenever you want you call them they make room for you there’s no oh you got to wait two weeks yeah um so that’s pretty attractive especially if You’ have a major (03:26) condition and something has happened dreadfully it could help you save a lot of trips to the emergency bre yeah well one thing one thing I always mention is uh if you are within I would say 50 maybe as much as 100 miles from Prescot and you are in a car accident and they Life Flight you out they’re going to bring you to presc it’s the it’s the biggest most advanced Regional Hospital in the area until you need to do like an mayo or MD Anderson uh this is the place and that’s true of all the areas around (04:01) here we will’ll come to presc good stuff good stuff so I don’t want you to have a preconception here that or preconceived notion is that word yeah prec yeah it’s not like the you know we’re not that cowboy town where they give you a bullet to bite on and pour Whiskey on your stomach before they cut out your appendix that’s right no nothing like that we’ve Advanced a little bit since we have a lot of good Specialists we have a lot of good dentists we have a lot of good you know endodontists (04:30) we have it all okay um it might I do recommend when you come that at least the first week go ahead and get your name into one of the doctors you want to go to because it might take a month or two to get established once you’re established you’re in yeah but don’t wait until it’s a crisis you know get then you’re going to find yourself in trouble that’s right and and you know we don’t mean to portray this as nervana uh our country is struggling with Health Care particularly since covid and uh our (05:01) our little town is doing its best to deal with the difficult situation that everyone else is dealing with that’s so you know trying to find good doctors and everything a lot of places are struggling with that and presc it is too uh but for the most part um you you can get the care that you need here at least that’s been AB we’re trying to get some help for him but yeah yeah nobody wants to take him nobody wants to take on trying the psychotic mess I call a brain so I don’t want you to be afraid (05:32) um it’s all good you know and um we’ve had a lot of people go through good friends some very serious yes uh health issues yes and they’re still here doing great and you just get resourceful and uh adjust and make yeah I I mean we we most of our friends are in their late 60s 7s 80s uh so just about any point in time we have a good friend who’s undergoing something and so this is you know Medical Care is something that we kind of have our finger on absolutely because we’re constantly getting (06:08) feedback and for the most part people do get the care they need they do yeah so we just wanted to bring that up again because we get that asked uh we get asked about that a lot one the top ones and it is important for you to know and reassure you that you’ll be okay yeah all right my friends that is our lovely tip for today yeah if you

good morning hello Peeps and hello hello hello hello hello hello Diane and Randall bro here your friendly husband and wife real estate team and she’s pickle lady I am also the pickle lady I have many monikers that’s right that’s a good word I like moniker you’re yeah I know so today we want to talk about something a little interesting about moving here to Prescot if you have puppy dogs look out for porcupine porcupine so we got a call from a friend of ours whose dog uh Piper Piper uh just let out in the backyard and came up with a whole bunch of quills evidently they almost like fire out I I always thought you had to like throw yourself on a porcupine evidently they come out like little arrows I I don’t know yeah when they’re threatened it just happens happens and it happens fast and uh so she was uh stuck a whole bunch ended up uh and they have barbs on them too so they’re very hard to remove it was um I mean the dog is going to be fine he’s fine but it’s not a fun process and we’re not talking about one or two quills I mean you could have aund quills all in your dog’s face and in body and and it’s very uncomfortable and you have to make sure you get the whole Barb out you can’t just take it upon yourself to pull it out because sometimes you leave a piece in there and then it’s another nightmare now I don’t want you to think you walk around presca and you see porcupines everywhere cupin are very well hidden they’re they’re nocturnal yeah and they do not like to be seen so uh generally you don’t see them if you don’t see them that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re not there they’re there they’re hiding I had seen por golf course I think yeah this is a house that’s on the golf course I think they kind of like the golf course uh same as coyotes coyotes also kind of like golf courses uh so if you have property like that or looking to buy property like that just be careful yeah so when you put your pups out you should know do we have porcupines yes do we have Havalina yes do we have coyotes yes especially if you got a teeny tiny dog oh yeah never never have unsupervised outdoor time well this really small dog I mean we’ got Hawks you know oh Hawks and that’s true in a lot of areas I mean you know it’s not like we have this abundance of wildlife the same as true a lot of those animals were there in Texas as well but uh so make sure you have supervised yard time um don’t go to the grocery store and leave your dog outside in the yard you might come home to a disaster yeah now we have big dogs so uh you know the the Ravens and you know that they’re not going to carry around our dogs but uh porcupines even a even a very large dog can get uh injured by do so we uh we have a little print out here so we have a little print out yeah so we went to chat GPT we are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to give some tips on how you can avoid having dog uh stuck by a not stuck not stuck that’s right so as I said have supervised outdoor time yep uh have make sure you have a good fence around that little critter say they borrow underneath I don’t know how practical that is I know but you can try but they they are pretty pretty creative there’s also such a thing who knew called porcupine repellant yeah so you can get porcupine repellents get training oh training how do you get train your dog train your dog to stay away get like a stunt porcupine that’s kind of stupid commands like stay yeah or leave it important my dogs would never listen to that never learn just like my children they would never listen to that but hey if you’ve got good dogs who will listen to that for you good uh have the porcupine repellent I didn’t know they had such a thing use commercial porcupine repellants these can deter porcupines from coming near your property there you go so I don’t know what what that scent is or what that is I don’t know but I guess you could find out and spray it around your yard probably Puli or something like that they also say to remove food sources like bird feeders or fruit that falls from your trees yeah yeah um they’re attracted to that because they want to come eat and they’re hungry so try to keep those things to a minimum and if you’ve got uh fruit trees in your yard pick up the rotten fruit because I that was car’s problem I think she has a fruit tree I think she yeah um make sure you keep your yard clean of all brush and extra logs and things that they could hide in or B burrow in and make a cute little house Y and uh they also like uh motion activated lights and sprinklers are very good to detract them and deter them from coming into your yard they don’t want to be a part of that at all they don’t like it that’s right a Sprinkle I really like it kind of Squirt yeah yeah make them run make them run that would keep me out of your yard not that I would do anything to your dog and lots of lights so yeah it’ll be good so anyway um that’s just something to keep in mind yeah if you got a little pup she kind of went through a bad experience had to rush him to the vet and it was not cheap okay so be aware that when you come here we are got Critters yeah so yeah and like I said this is not like a common thing this is the first time I heard of it happening uh unfortunately to a friend of ours but uh we just thought we let you know and yeah it’s a it’s a good it’s important to know so know remember supervision is the top thing as far as I’m concerned as well as having a fenced yard yeah so be on the lookout for porcupines and any other Critters that could hurt your your kitty cats or puppy dogs and stuff like that so in conclusion after our many valuable tips we just gave you um make sure you protect your kitty cat your puppy dogs um things are out there it’s not

One of the foundational principles of the American nation is that if you are unhappy where you are, you can always “vote with your feet” and move someplace else. And if you’re going to move, go where you are treated best! Tune in today to find out why Prescott might be that exact place for you… and how we can help you with that transition.
hello hello hello hello peeps this is Randall and I am diam brro coming to you from our beautiful town of Prescot Arizona and uh we wanted to talk to you or your fellow realtor agents here um we have a lot of folks who come in from all over the United States yes I mean we get people from New Jersey Massachusetts I mean Oregon Washington we get them all over and um we’ve had some people come in they’re like I don’t know if this is for me and I get that it’s not for everybody so you need to pick the town where you feel you are treated best that’s right and where you feel like a really comfortable fit yes and you’re with your folks so to speak so if you come to uh Prescot and you’re like you know what I I just don’t like it I don’t find people friendly here which is not true but anyway is not true um it’s very important that you have to be happy where you land the house is not enough it’s the community and what the community off offers and if it’s something that you’re like I just don’t know if this is for me that’s okay yeah and the local government for that matter if you live in a place where they’re constantly raising your taxes and lowering your services you know they take money for highways and the highways just keep getting worse every year there’s uh you’re not safe uh in certain areas of your town maybe you’re in your own home uh you’re not being treated well and one of the fundamental rights that humans have is they can vote with their feet they can go someplace else you can move with your feet and that’s the beauty of living here in the old us OFA uh if you don’t like it pull up Stakes go some place else life is short you know we want you to be happy where you land yes and that’s okay and for us you know I mean we came from the deep south and we we pulled up Stakes we didn’t like some things that were going on and uh so we pulled up Stakes was it hard yes um was it hard to start over yes was our family real thrilled not really but um you know it’s a great big world out there people yes and life is so short so we want you to land where you’re truly truly happy and where you feel a good connection yes and you have a good sense of community and so I think you’ll find that here in Prescot we think you will uh and if it’s not here you need to go someplace else yeah and that’s fine there’s there’s a guy I follow on YouTube he calls himself the uh Nomad capitalist and and that’s what he says he says go where you’re treated best now in his mind you go someplace you know all over the world you know he looks at places all over the world and if you want to do that you know you can check out his website he he’s an interesting guy uh but the same also applies here in United States it’s a big country it’s a big continent yeah and uh there are wonderful places to find chances are you’re someplace because someone else decided that you should be there either an ancestor or uh your spouse’s boss or your boss or a job correct or family you that’s just where I grew up so I stay here yeah if you’re retiring you get to choose where you want to live and it anywhere in the world you can go you can go anywhere you want so go where you were treated best and we have some very dear friends here shout out to Suzanne and Don yep you know who you are they grew up their whole lives in Massachusetts and the same town for ever and ever and ever and ever have never moved away and they were like we’re done and they pulled up Stakes pull up stakes and came all the way out here uh I’m sure their family is like what what we like it here she’s like we were done we were cooked we wanted to try something new and God bless him they came here and they fully embraced it and God that was hard right it is hard but I’ll tell you this having done it myself you go back ain’t no going back oh my God how I ever I know I know you see things in new eyes and it’s like the lenses are pull you know and uh so they’ve had no regrets we’ve had no regrets I mean we love our family but it’s just sometimes you just have to try something new I mean because life is it’s a blink people it’s a blink and it’s over the great thing about presc is for the most part you’re going to meet people who’ve done the same thing yeah that’s true they’ pulled up stakes and they’re looking for a better place and everybody be in the same boat with with people just like that and we all say the same thing damn we made a good decision God no regrets no regrets no looking back so whether it’s Prescot or someplace else in the United States always go where you were treated best we’ love to have you here in Prescot but if it’s not your cup of tea we’re okay with that we want you to be happy but if you do decide impr presc it give us a call yeah we want to make it work for you and introduce to people and have a good time and tell you all the good restaurants and all the fun things we have to do here so anyway please life is too short my friends go where you’re

If you are a golfer looking to reduce your HOA bill, we have just the thing. Today we discuss a little-known loophole that can get you all the benefits of a country club community without having to pay all the country club HOA fees.
good afternoon all my little friends out there my pickle peeps hello folks I am the pickle lady Diane bro with my sidekick Randall bro here that’s me uh we are husband and wife team here in Prescot uh Arizona here to help you find the perfect home in the perfect town I might add so we’re here to talk to you about something we call The Fringe The Fringe so we live personally in uh presc Lakes and there are some beautiful neighborhoods all around Prescot lakes that are not officially Under the Umbrella of Prescot Lakes but we call it the Fringe The Fringe or Prescot Lakes adjacent yes that’s the uh that’s the 20 Buck no that’s the expensive version of it The Fringe is kind of The Fringe on the edge so some people are like you know I like the Lakes but I don’t really care about all those HOAs I’m not going to play golf I’m not really interested so we can find you some beautiful neighborhoods next door uh in The Fringe areas or the Prescot Lakes adjacent area so don’t think there’s only Prescot Lakes there are many other beautiful neighborhoods here it’s a good area of town to be in because it’s close to it’s quiet but it’s also close to downtown and the uh the commercial areas so it’s very convenient very nice uh if Prescot Lakes is a destination a lot of people like Prescot Lakes they’re looking for Prescot Lakes um if you are a couple things you need to know if you are a golfer and you’re definitely going to sign up for a golf membership at presc Lakes then it doesn’t matter where you live you can live in The Fringe you can live anywhere in town and for just a little extra money you can get full access to everything that Prescot Lakes has you can join Prescot Lakes Golf yeah even if you don’t live in even if you don’t live in the it’s a little bit extra cost not that much more but you can buy a Golf Course membership golf membership not course but anyway you can buy a golf membership and add on a little bit extra and still have access to the restaurant and to the athletic center and the pools and all of that even if you live outside of Prescot lakes that is still an option for you it will cost you a little bit more money but if that’s you know not much it’s it’s still something that could work for you yeah so and then generally you’ll pay less money for your house because things in The Lakes go for a bit of a premium and chances are you won’t pay the high HOAs that you have to pay inside Prescot Lakes too right so if you’re definitely going to get a golf membership that’s an option obviously if you don’t care about any of the amenities in presc Lakes well obviously you goodbye forever goodbye forever you can live wherever you want that’s right if you aren’t going to get a golf membership you can get a social membership that’s like7 75 $80 a month $70 a month there you go it will give you access to to the restaurant events not the Athletic Club so you’re not going to get the whole club that’s right if that’s okay with you that’s fine but uh if you want that then you kind of have to and you’re not getting a golf membership you have to go inside and we have a lot of friends who don’t live in preset Lakes proper but they live in The Fringe in some other areas and theyve joined the golf and we see them just as often as if they lived here so if you find a home that’s not in Prescot lakes and you’re absolutely in love but you want some of the amenities it’s still open to you guys it’s not a a deal killer okay so also too I should mention uh there’s another area in town called hampa they have a club well it’s not tied to the Su uh to the subdivision anymore which is what I was going to say it’s called Capitol Canyon you can live anywhere you want and join Capitol Canyon that’s right so that’s another example there’s a lot of options you can live in The Fringe right outside you know the club would still be uh convenient for for you but you’re not going to pay the HOA fees and all that absolutely and then there’s also free public courses yes at Stone Ridge it’s a public course Antelope Hills so there’s a lot of options okay available to you so if you find that dream home and it’s not necessarily in one of these quote Golf Course communities you can still join even though it’s private you may pay a little bit extra but that’s still an option available to you whether it be Capitol Canyon or Prescot lakes or any of those so a lot of options and the Fring is good The Fringe is good don’t worry the pickle lady will go through all the options with you to narrow it down to what you will really make you happy yeah so we can explore all of those areas and show it to you until you find the right one and then you’re happy as a clam that’s what we’re here for people that’s what we’re here for that’s our tip of the day our tip of the day place to go is pickle 411.com that is our free information site whether you’re a buyer seller or somewhere in between there will be something there waiting for you

What do pronghorn antelope, the Prescott police force, and the movie Tombstone have in common? Tune in today to find out, and learn Randal’s new nickname.
hello hello hello we’re gonna we’re gonna share a little personal story personal story today about Randall and I mostly about me mostly about him um are you gonna put your picture up from the airport that was so funny yeah I could do that that was fun I can do that make sure you put that up because all right so for exposition uh we’ve got these two crazy dogs uh they are half German shepherd and half Belgian Shepherd or malinoa if anybody knows anything about shepher melon was you appreciate the situation we’re in yeah they high energy does not do it justice we’ve had any number of dogs these are by far the most energetic and the sweetest and the sweet so sweet but super protective they are good guard dogs but the funny thing is um you know we realized after this was a midlife crisis decision maybe one dog would have been good what were we thinking at our age to handle two of these um but hey we’re committed um we’re making it work we do love them they’re a riot but anyway we take them to run because our yard isn’t big enough yeah every morning we take them out we we we were going pretty regularly to the dog park you’ve SE we’ve had videos on the dog and we have a good time we still go there we had a good time we still go there from time to time but our our good friends Skip and Kathy uh they found just an open field out by the airport yeah and so we’ve been taking them out there and just big Open Fields and they they just love to run run and beautiful and Skip and Kathy will meet us there a few times with their dog Ranger is his name our dogs are Frankie and Molly so Frankie and Molly go there three of them go crazy together that’s right so Randle goes out and and we let him run and they’re having a good time and we’re throwing the ball and you know like normal people do and then our dog saw a deer yeah the prong horn so I don’t know if they’re antalope or a type of type of deer they’re like dandal opes I I don’t so that was it they were like oh so boom off they go and they can run like the wind they can cover a mile in five five seconds oh yeah it’s unbelievable so anyway so off they go so Randall’s call them they’re not coming so then they don’t come back so then Randall decides I’m gonna go find him he starts walking he could grows over the first Hill so I’m waiting like 25 minutes I’m like hm nobody’s coming back so I cross the hill and then I find the dogs and I take them back to the car I’m like well I’ll call Randall and him found him let’s go home he left his phone in the car so then I start walking the field I put the dogs on a leash this time and I start walking the fields looking for them can’t find them I mean for miles and miles and miles he’s nowhere to be found so after another 20 minutes then I start getting worried and I start thinking did he trip did he fall did he have a heart attack is he laying out in a field somewhere and I can’t see him so I called two good friends Skip and Randy again Randy Al who were kind enough to fly over there and see if they can walk the field too in the meantime another friend got wind they leave their golf game they come over and they’re about to walk the field too so this the purpose of the story is not only is it amusing that Randall was he keeps insisting he was not lost I was not lost I was not lost I knew where I was I knew how to get back I was just taking a long time because he was way there yeah the dogs managed a lot of Hills so every time you go up a hill there’s another Hill that you see that they might be hiding behind so he kept Crossing so I kept Crossing Hills until I ran out of Hills yeah I didn’t know that she already they snuck around so in the meantime we’ve got the posi out to look for him uh and then after 40 minutes we still couldn’t find him so they couldn’t find him either so I call the police so this is a shout out to first of all good friends good friends we have never by by the way all of these friends we met in preset we didn’t know any of these people so this is a shout out to Dear dearest friends if you were looking to move here and you’re scared like I don’t know anybody neither did we yeah but I will tell you these are probably some of the best friends we’ve ever had definitely some of the best um they people here in Prescot they just have your back yeah they do I mean and I don’t know if it’s because everybody’s retired but I mean the call went out everybody showed up to walk the Hills was looking for this idiot um and then the police came and the three of them came and they had Hightech you know binoculars and we found him they could spot him way off let’s just say uh as one of our friends said damn Randall you almost made it to Jerome and if you live here you know where Jerome is I did I kept walking until there were no more Hills and that’s a pretty long walk I probably walked U I’d say a couple miles so anyway it it made me feel good and I I want to give a shout out to the police too they were so professional they came out right away um they they have their own process because a lot of people get lost hiking and stuff so they have their own process they immediately got into it and we all start searching and looking and then we see him and then anyway they found him and Randall came walking back took a long time because he has a New Orleans stroll if you’re from New Orleans you know what that means they don’t walk fast you don’t walk fast when it’s humid and I’m like Rand oh God everybody’s waiting for you hustle but anyway um so we had a good laugh that day yeah we took everybody to lunch so we took everybody to lunch because it really honestly really touched our heart how our friends immediately came uh rallied around us went to help us went to find the police rallied came out right away um you just don’t see it that often anymore but that’s small town living folks we look out for each other and we care about each other and of course now we tease him unmercifully which is part of friendship as well yes they call me the wanderer now he’s Randall The Wanderer rall The Wanderer I have not had such a good laugh in all so we went we went to this restaurant there was a restaurant out by the airport that’s right which is where this field was and there was a picture on on the wall I don’t know where the picture came from and we don’t know who the guy is the joke is it’s me and and I’m by that uh by the uh the air strip the airst strip looking for the dogs that’s how far he made it that’s the joke so uh he will never live that down um we all still laugh about it hardcore and um but it’s just to let you know what a sense of community we have here yeah we really do a lot of people looking out for you everybody looks out and the police were delightful they they did a you know they wanted to make sure that I wasn’t I don’t know scile or whatever so they asked me who’s the president of the United States I said I’ve been gone a while I think it’s Camala Harris and I thought that was pretty funny so yeah I mean so good town good good response from your police uh shout out to you the police department of presc we cannot thank you enough I did write a personal letter for each uh agent who came out to help us and gave him some pickles gave him some pickles and we also dropped off some gift cards as a thank you um love to see the quick response and the care and also to our friends we just gave them lunch that’s all yeah but that was okay um and our love of course and our love so and we would do the same for them in a heartbeat so here’s a toast to them to thank you skip thank you Randy thank you Bob thank you Charlie thank you to the police officers we cannot thank you enough all’s well that ends well with this crazy one here and uh let’s just say she was really trying to kill me she doesn’t want I wasn’t trying to kill him I was no no please save me I want to kill you now she was coming out to kill me I’m going to she was going to turn the dogs on me yeah they called him in for a private interview no they didn’t are you afraid of the pickle lady is there anything you need to tell us she is she threatening you in any way I if you’ve seen is the movie Tombstone there’s a a reference to Prescot there so that movie is very popular in this town and there’s a famous line it says I’m your huckleberry yeah so when they finally found me I said he said I’m your I’m huckle bear so good town people we all have your back here so you should know that if you’re worried about moving you know it’s a it’s a good Community here um we really value neighbors and we really value our police and the police value us and they look out for you so nothing but good things to say about good friends and and a good police force so thank you and alls well that ends well the dogs were fine Mr bro was fine yeah none the worse for where none the worse so uh anyway we all got a good laugh out of that and the wonderer here

hello hello hello hello Peeps and happy happy New Year’s to you 2024 baby we here at the pickle team Randall and I would like to wish you the happiest and warmest wishes for the upcoming year here’s to good stuff happening for all of us it’s supposed to be a good year 2024 is a lucky number if you add up in numerology it adds up to eight which is infinity good for love good for good luck so that’s what I’m betting on how about you leap year leap year plus leap year always an auspicious event correct keep the uh the Mercury retrograde thing yeah I don’t know I don’t know I’m not that well versed and all of that but we wanted to wish you the happiest of New Year’s you’re probably getting this a few weeks into the month of January yeah but we’re recording it near the front you know that’s right got to edit and all that takes a little time so all of this is uh you get it a few weeks after we actually film so here we are we want to talk about 20124 we’re super excited everyone was gloom and doom about 2023 it wasn’t bad folks not so much it was not bad at all yeah prices were very stable y uh we’re back to a buyer Market uh inventory was low but you we managed to find some good homes for our guys yep uh so brought in some new blood in the city lots of really nice people great year and no regrets they were glad they were scared of the interest rate but they made the jump anyway yeah they know that they can refinance so they didn’t let it hold them back and now they’re living the dream and our beautiful town of Prescot yep so it’s uh pretty exciting times yeah a lot of Gloom at the front of 2023 as every we recall we predicted that none of that would come to pass and it has not yep uh more gloom and doom for 2024 or what are people saying I don’t even know well they’re a little more encouraging because interest rates are dropping which is good yeah so we’re super excited about that so if you’re contemplating you know Now’s the Time our folks who did it in 2023 no regrets yeah don’t put your life on hold yeah grab that gold ring go for it yeah in terms of interest rates so um the expectation is that interest rates will go lower uh for 2024 what is low what is not low is two and a half okay yeah yeah I think that’s over those days are over and all indications are that uh us of a certain age tends to be people interested in presc it uh we’re not going to see that again U and the reason why we saw it is that we had lots of baby boomers who were not retired yet uh they were making lots of money and they were investing lots of money well that created a supply a very large supply of investment money and that drives down interest rates uh now most of the Baby Boomers are retired uh when they retire they stop investing so aggressively they get very conservative uh they start consuming money uh so those funds will no longer be there and that means Supply goes down that means your interest rates go up so I I would say you know you know a healthy economy is five or six uh with a few points of inflation and it looks like that’s exactly where we’re heading so that that’s actually really broad picture here that’s very healthy very healthy so uh if you’re waiting for two and a half then you’re gonna you’re not gonna make it don’t yeah don’t give up on life waiting for two and a half yeah move forward get out there make your move here our cost of living is amazing in presc your money will go much farther than you know some of the other places uh people are moving from California Washington Oregon you’ll be pleasantly surprised yes how far your dollar goes yes here in Arizona so we’ll have some other areas of the country that might suffer um so you’ll hear bad news about real estate Phoenix may be one of those areas um I don’t a few other other areas that got built up really fast uh with markets that are much more sensitive to interest rates um that won’t be presc uh presc is a relatively small town we are a very viable alternative to all of the uh retirement destinations that people talk about um so I I I just don’t see anything happening in presc for the foreseeable future we we’re just totally leveling off and holding strong holding strong holding strong plus we’ve got amazing weather Four Seasons uh you don’t have to worry about hurricanes you don’t have to worry about fires you don’t have to yeah well we can get a little baby little had a baby earthquake we had a baby earthquake supposed to have one every 50 years and it’s in Chino Valley which about 20 miles north of here yeah and I think it was a three or two and a half or something so I mean this is the time you want to try something new come to our town interest rates are starting to drop everything else is great here you might enjoy a new chapter right yeah don’t you think yeah I think so so we would love to help you with uh your search take you on a tour of our lovely town and uh show you what it’s all about for 2024 so we hope you
