bonjour Hello Hello Meami This is Diana Randall Bro your friendly pickle team your friendly realtor husband and wife team here in Prescuit Arizona And we are here to talk to you about crazy things that uh some of the areas here that have speed traps So yeah Yeah If you’re visiting or if you live here now and you’re trying we’re going to help you out cuz we just got caught in one of them Yeah not happy about it Yeah You know there there are speed traps and there are speed traps You know sometimes speed trap is in a (00:35) place where it’s a valuable thing Yeah it can be a valuable thing It really depends on the speed and the trap So uh I drive like a paw paw My my wife is constantly saying “What a pawpaw.” I can vouch for this It just I drive a lot though I’m on the road driving quite a bit and uh usually once every five years or so I will get a speeding ticket and it’s always some uh bogus thing It’s bogus Now I am a little more daring I drive a little faster a lot faster I never get tickets Never get tickets But this one Mr Kosh (01:12) is here No it’s just cuz I drive more than you do I drive a lot more than Grandpa here Grandpa gets more tickets It’ll be you know like three One time it was 3:00 in the morning Yep And I was kind of lost and all the streets were saying no left turn no left turn And uh I took or or they were all oneway streets or something and I think I took a right on a on a red light or something You’re getting mired down in the Well I mean the point is that was bogus There was no one else on the street Cops there just giving everyone who passes by a (01:44) ticket trying to get his his uh quota That to me that’s a speed trap That’s so what we’re here to talk to you about is the speed traps here in Presc Now if you’re if you’re speeding and you’re being reckless the police give you a ticket you deserve it You deserve it And if I’m doing that I deserve it too I have no problem Absolutely These are the spots where technically it’s 25 miles an hour because one day in the future they will have homes here but there are no homes now and it feels like 45 is more appropriate That’s where they’ll take it (02:14) That’s where they gave So that would be on roster That roster Roger between um between 89 and Willow Creek Uh there are some areas there where there are a lot of homes and yeah you pretty much have to go 25 or lower When they say 25 they mean 25 They don’t mean 35 They don’t mean 40 And sometimes when you go it’s a little longer of a bit of a stretch and all of a sudden you don’t even realize that your speed has gone up Yeah And then bam that’s where they get you because they’re hiding And they’re hiding you hiding at the bottom of a (02:46) hill and and they’re hiding in a section where there are no homes for a big long stretch Yes And they were too lazy to make it you know 35 there and plus they would have no place for a speed trap So they sit there waiting for you and they give you bogus tickets So I got one there Yes we did Uh there’s one in what’s called the Yavapai connector and that is through tribe land and it’s the tribe police that will give you a ticket there They want you to go slow Everyone kind of knows they want you to go slow It’s not really a speed trap that if (03:20) they see you speeding they’ll come get you Uh is it ridiculously low yeah it’s ridiculously low And this is where they get you on that road And that’s between 89 and 69 It’s the connector Yeah Um they some sections will say 25 and then the next section a small section will say 35 and then it’s down to 25 Yeah And it is just nothing but desolate land I mean there’s truly nothing there so low Yeah Yeah It’s very easy to kind of pick up speed and zap They’ll get you So we’ve had a number of friends say stop driving so slow Just pick up (03:57) the speed No When I tell you not to do it don’t do it cuz you will get caught and you will get a good ticket But the speed trap of all speed traps Oh yes Is this is the town of Clarkdale Yep So he hasn’t gotten over it yet Yeah It’s really tick We’re working on it Now there are towns like that in every state There’s uh Elgen I think in Texas uh every state you know there’s some towns that’s the the um majority of their revenue comes from bogus uh traffic tickets Well Clarkdale is like that Clark if you go over the Mingus (04:34) Mountains through Jerome on your way to say Sedona When you get down on the other side that’s Clarkdale And they have it’s there’s not a lot out there Um there was a section we were going through It was a a speed It was a uh traffic circle And as soon as you get off the traffic circle it’s 25 miles an hour You go from 45 to 25 even though you haven’t hit any homes yet And you’re coming off of a hill So of course your speed is a little higher because you’re going down and you hit that traffic circle Boom And they’re there waiting (05:08) for you I as soon as I had exited the traffic circle he was he got me They just wait So it was just a complete trap happened to be two days before Christmas on my way to spend money on a bogus uh Santa train Don’t do that either Uh $500 for an an hour train ride was just kind of stupid But anyway now so Clarkdale did you get the idea that you ticked me off don’t go to Clarkdale They spend they a lot of their uh money comes from uh tourism which is wonderful uh but not you can’t have a tourist based economy and do a lot of speed traps The other (05:44) thing is instead of being able just to pay your ticket online and mail it in No you have to go have to actually go there to to give them your credit card in person Uh there’s no judge to say “Hey can we talk about this let’s talk it through.” No just a receptionist Let’s be friends Let’s let’s let’s let’s come to a consensus here Nope It’s simply give us your money and pay the fee Um you couldn’t do anything online and you couldn’t even mail it in You had to go drive all the way down there again and hope you wouldn’t get another ticket and (06:13) another speed trap So now when we go through Clock Dial it will always be 25 miles an hour So if you’re behind us stop blowing your horn flashing your lights been there done that and we don’t care to repeat the mistake Yeah So if you’re in any of those areas um be cautious be aware They’re not kidding around And we just want to save you from the hell that we just went through If you know of any other uh speed traps in the state uh particularly those around the Prescat area send them to us We’ll post them for you so uh you’ll know (06:47) about them in advance It’s important to know especially if you’re new to the area Yeah Ruin your whole day It will And it makes your you know rates go up and or and or you have to do defensive driving and everybody knows that ain’t fun No I’ve done that enough I’m not doing that Nope Nope Nope So anyway just kind of wanted to share that with you and um hope that we can help you avoid future tickets Absolutely You can thank

Video Transcript

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.

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 saying for a while honestly I don’t know any areas that are dangerous here and and I (07:10) think the the crime statistics kind of bore that out so I so check it out when you’re doing your due diligence in whatever City you may wash up in it’s very helpful so we wanted to share that with uh all of our friends out there so hope we hope you find this helpful and uh that is our tip of the day

Video Transcript

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

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 always bad but you should be aware um there are some Critters out there who could wreak havoc for your little your little pup or kit so that is your tip of the day if you like tips the place to go is

Video Transcript

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

The Fringe

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.

Video Transcript

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 that will Amaze the sound entertain and ason Aston overwhelmed persecute not persecute but you find absolutely free Absol absolutely free no charge to you charge at all just a charge to me even if you’re outside presc lights there will be no charge in my energy for our free information sir that’s right okay so we hope to see you soon we’d love to tour you of Prescot Lakes hampa as well as all of The Fringe in Prescot Lakes adjacent neighborhoods we’ve got it all we’re here to help you thank you for listening take care bye

Video Transcript

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

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
