good morning oh he didn’t sit down yet sit down fast when you’re in the room with her I know well I’m ready to go I’m ready I’m I’m chop chop chop loaded for bear I’m loaded for bear chop chop chop let’s go let’s hit it yeah it hello this is Diana and Randle bro coming to you from Prescot Arizona we are your local husband and wife team realtor team here to help you and uh today we want to talk about I’m going to say c word stats yeah there you go one in particular I wanted to to mention today I’m kind of the numbers guy in our little Duo here uh some of you might get my uh my monthly uh uh Market updates if you’re not getting those you need to get those um subscribe yeah it’s good stuff it’ll it’ll it’ll put you ahead of 99% of the people are watching the uh watching the stats here in presc but there’s one stat that just irks me so I had to talk about it uhoh yeah and that is the sales to list price ratio so the idea behind the stat is if you’ve got a good Agent they get you your list price and if they get less than list price that’s not so good so a good agent would be one that has 100% you know meaning they always get the list price for you or 105% you know they actually get over list price that’s not right well here’s the thing that doesn’t happen if you want to get I can get you uh I can guarantee that I will get you above list price on your home I’m going to price it at $100 I was thinken to myself what what are you talking about there is no law there’s there’s no formal mechanism to set the price on a home yes and a lot of times people screw it up either too high too low uh they really don’t know what they’re doing and the list price is it’s just a number that somebody made up whether it’s the seller or the agent there’s no reason to believe that it’s a good number necessarily now in practice most of them are reasonable we’ve been seeing a lot of very unreasonable selling uh uh list prices because I think sellers are still spoiled from covid they think the world hasn’t changed they’re just you know living in their own little virtual world uh but this is something you need to be careful about if you’re going to sell your home and you have an agent that comes in and says I always get over list probably pricing the homes too low red flag red flag red flag this is not a stat to hang a hat on now if you want to look at the stat like when we are we have a buyer that’s coming in and we want to place uh place an offer make an offer on a home in a certain neighborhood I might look to see if the homes are coming in around list or they’re discounting just to give us some sense of how low we could go in I mean there are times when you might use it but people are using it as The Benchmark to to judge agents by and uh the ones that are going to do the best are the ones that are going to under underprice your home so a stat you need to be aware of also overpricing uh and I know some sellers are quite adamant I must have this price period yeah and I think it’s worth us well I’m going to give you a little example just because you have a view doesn’t mean the house is worth a million dollars particularly if it’s only 1,800 square feet and well it depends on the neighborhood I guess there are homes that are 1,800 square feet that might be worth more than I don’t know but a view does not constitute there’s a lot that goes into pricing it goes by your square footage it goes by the condition of the home just because you have an astonishing View and you have a shack that’s only 200 square feet does not mean you can command a million dollars so you need to be aware come on you know you got to have yeah the house down the street might have gone for over a million but it was also 3,200 square feet and you’re only 1,800 square footage matters folks it’s not all the view okay A View does not just to close the loop on views um typically in Prescot if there’s the same home home A and home B they’re exactly the same except one has a magnificent View and the other one doesn’t let’s say B’s the one with the view be will probably go for about $75,000 more than 75 maybe to 100 that’s it maybe to 100 now views were really going for a premium during covid because people were stuck at home and they had nothing to do but look out the window so uh you know views that were commanding big premiums but I find they’re back 100 really less than 100,000 now yeah it’s not yeah so you you have to be very careful if you don’t have a view don’t be expecting oh I’m going to get 900,000 I’m going to get 800,000 and your backyard backs up to a wall now we’re talking presc if you’re living in California or someplace like that that’s something different we’re talking in our Market okay so be very careful um some people are like but I have a magnificent View and I think my house is worth over a million if it’s only 15600 1,800 square feet no it isn’t you’re not going to get it you can’t command it um just because of the view so keep that in mind I mean that’s another you know um stat yeah stat stat yeah we have some more of these I like these I like the I like calling out yeah I like saying Bull and you know we try to uh help our Sellers and just give it to them straight do you want to sell or do you want to sit in the market and go stale yeah you know it’s we just know we run cops we don’t just pull a number yeah out

hello hello hell peeps Diane and Randall bro here we are the presc pickle team that’s us she’s pickle lady I am the pickle lady here in Prescot Arizona enjoying beautiful straight myself out straighten yourself up straighten up and fly right that’s what I’m trying to do as we used to tell the kids straighten up and fly right good tip for today good tip for today one of our sellers a recent seller and I did not know of this and I’m very excited to share with all of you who were thinking about moving hopefully you’re moving here to Prescot um but it’s called U boox and it’s uh a new thing with U-Haul yeah U-Haul and a lot of people are familiar with the pods that you can come have the pods put in your driveway and you can load them up for your move and this that and the other uh U-Haul is doing a similar program um but they have smaller pods and you can come and three or order three or four of them fill it up with your stuff they will come pick it up they will load it up in their truck in U-Haul and drive it to wherever you’re going and even store it the key is it’s much more reasonable yeah so for instance I think he said each U box with $600 to rent and then they just so you get the box the box is empty and you can fill it with whatever you can fit in the Box correct and then they will did that include the storage for 30 days but they’re up to 30 days I think that includes the storage doesn’t include I don’t think that does include the transport but they paid I think they did four or five boxes maybe six boxes no I don’t think that many but it was four or five and it went across the country and it was like $5,000 $5,000 so it’s a considerable savings so if you’re one of those really Savvy people that knows how to pack and pack well and take care of their belongings I mean some people it’s very difficult to pack a whole house but if you’re a real go-getter and you’re able to pack your yourself and you’re able to physically um it’s a much more reasonable way to go than hiring a mover and yeah you know like our move from Texas to here was 15,000 15,000 and and they come in with this huge truck right you know and you know the truck time is money you know so you got to rush rush sh to get everything in you can have the UB boxes delivered and take you know days or weeks right they’ll go put it in storage and then when you arrive whenever you’re ready they’ll come and get them you don’t have across the whole United States in two days to meet the movers so anyway just something we thought we’d share because we thought wow that’s a really cool program we dig it it’s a lot more reasonable yeah and the pods may have something similar we haven’t used either but our our clients did have personal experience with the ubox right and it was a very positive one yeah we only want to talk about stuff we’ve actually heard yeah that’s right so uh pods that uh maybe offer a similar program I don’t know I can only speak on you you box and the positive experience my clients had with that absolutely so if you’re looking to save money and you’re not going to be moving uh everything on Earth and you just need a smaller more reasonable move look at U-Haul and ubox it could really work well for you y so anyway that’s our tip for the day yeah that’s our tip of the day if you like tips the place to go for tips is pickle 411.com that is our free information site where you can find all kinds of information whether you’re a buyer seller somewhere in between it will Amaze Astound inform entertain and surprise tantalize tantalize oh free all free so yeah we hope that uh you’ll call you hul and move over here yeah that’s right give us a call we’ll help you get into a great place all right please take care and have a wonderful rest of your day bye bye
Arizona laws regarding the disclosure of deaths or other unpleasant past events in a home’s history can differ from those of other states. Check out today’s video for a rundown of what’s required, what’s not, and how to handle it as either a buyer or a seller.
good midday to you good midday M Lady it’s the middle of the day yes it is well sometimes I get I get a little Punchy so good midday to all of my friends out there I hope pickle peeps pickle peeps we’re happy to be here today this is Diana Randle bro coming to you live from Prescot Arizona yes it is mile high city mile high city woohoo here to talk to you about dead bodies yeah nothing nothing more fun to talk about dead bodies should have wait for Halloween I guess yeah that would have been a better time not the best timing but dead bodies are there’s always stuff happening so uh you know people die and uh sometimes they die in houses and um so that’s a thing so uh different states have different rules absolutely different laws different laws in Arizona if someone dies in a home correct you do not have to divulge that we do not so also you should know suicides um murders uh violent crimes um we are not um by law we are not required to divulge that now if we are told that and a buyer asks asks us at that point we can say I did hear a b and c yes uh but right off the bat it’s not written in a document I know the state of California does require yes that all buyers be told if there was a suicide a murder or a death uh Arizona is not that way we don’t have to say right off the bat uh as a seller you don’t have to write it in a document and divulge anything if you share that with us and we have a buyer and they ask us at that point we are allowed to yeah we should tell them yeah we should tell you uh you don’t have to tell us as a seller you do not have to tell us and you do not have to put it in the seller’s disclosure that is not a disclosable item because it has nothing to do with the home absolutely so you should know every state has different laws yes you know if you were wondering if there was a murder or anything there are websites that you can that we can guide you to uh if you wanted to check crime rates if you wanted to check anything um but we uh there’s a lot of things that we as Realtors are required uh to not share upfront yeah um you have your own ways we can say we can guide you and say hey go check out the crime rate here here’s a great website for you to do that yes so I think some people get annoyed they come in like what do you mean you can’t it’s not me I don’t make of the rules yeah we don’t make of the rules uh but we can you know there can be serious violations yeah and uh if you are a buyer and the idea of buying a home in which someone died is U something you don’t want to look at uh you may have you know there are religious tabos on that I know absolutely Native American certain Native American tribes I’m not sure that’s all of them but uh that’s and I think certain Christian and Jewish sex um the same thing they they they that that’s not allowed it’s unclean or whatever it is so if you fall into one of those categories and that’s important to you make sure you tell us uh because the sellers will not have to divulge that we have to research that for correct and we’re happy to do that um and a lot of times we are not told so we truly do not have the answer for you yeah um and we don’t want you to think we’re trying to hide anything we just don’t know um and so we’re not allowed to ask and you know and they are not required to divulge unless they want to yeah yeah so keep all of that in mind it’s not us being difficult or not trying to share or trying to hide something we’re not it’s just what we have by the rules by the rules and we could be heavily fined and found in violation if we do otherwise yeah so uh Realtors are kind of held to a different uh code of ethics we have certain rules and regulations that we have to follow it’s not just us saying yeah most of them are intuitive uh this is one where you may not think that’s intuitive right and uh you may just come from a place where that’s divulged that’s not here a lot of yeah a lot of our californ like well that’s what we do in California and I know that but not in Arizona so anyway we just wanted to share that with you um we’re happy to get somebody to come Sage your house we’ve done that yeah we have done that yeah we’re full service people we are full service so if something has occurred and you have discovered it and you want to have we have people to come help sage and make it a a all good energy again absolutely

sick what goes on out there there are people who are very very wise very intelligent and they scam and they look up people of a certain age bracket and go after them and they are so so so convincing it’s scary yes um they should all be nominated for Oscars yes and how well they can convince and really real people in yeah used to be You’ get an email from was what was it the prince and what was the Haiti yeah in Haiti or no it was uh somewhere in Africa I forget anyway some people even fell for that yeah they fell for that now or you get on the yeah you get on the call and they’ll have like an Indian accent or a weird foreign accent uh scams have gotten professional they they really good they uh know how like what title company you’re working with they will learn the names of employees at the title company they will get your phone number and call you and really pretend to be those people and you and they are really good at what they do and chances are you have seen uh attempts at at scams I’ll name a couple of them you’ll probably recognize them okay so you get a text oh hey Susie are we still having lunch tomorrow yeah we’ll get I get those texts all the time that’s a scam hey that’s a scam don’t even answer don’t answer don’t answer because once you do they once you do proc they’re trying to they’re trying to uh sucker you in and get you conversing with them that’s a scam and I get this all the time I get emails from Geek Squad yeah and it looks like a real invoice a real bill I mean it is down to the color of the bill everything and uh I don’t do the technology Mr bro does yeah so I’ll be like did we do this this is like a $600 bill is this something I I didn’t know about because you do the technology and he’s like scam scam scam scam scam scam and so you have to be in this day and age so very very careful yes uh when we tell you wait till you hear from title do not accept instructions from an email uh chances are someone has even if it’s encrypted will still try to break in and misrepresent themselves yes yes and say now you need to wire the money the change there’s been changes in your wire yes there’s never changes in a wire especially to a title company yes so when in doubt this is all we can emphasize over and over and over when in doubt whether whether it’s a phone call whether it’s a text even if it’s an email whatever if you’re in doubt about anything hang up call Randall and I if we’re helping you or call your title company if they’re helping you during the sale and say I just got a phone call I’m I hung up I’m calling back just to make sure this is legit yes once you get and they will always they will try to get you not to talk to anyone else uh if they tell you not to talk to anyone else you know it’s a scam that’s a tip absolutely so um one thing you need to understand is we are all of a certain age yep and we get older every day and we become more vulnerable every day which is sad There are some evil we have some friends who are older than us yes uh very sharp and yet they have become victims of scams uh part of that is just the scammers are very good and part of it I think is that you know we get to a certain age we get more vulnerable we get more uh credulous you know I don’t know but especially a lot of them will bring in grandchildren or children and say your daughter was in an accident uh we need money and da D and occasionally you know people go to the bank to get cashier checks to they’ll go to uh Walmart to get a cashier’s check and thank goodness the employees are usually like H I don’t know and they’ll maybe flag it which is good there are still good people who try to help people who are being taken advantage of yes but every now and then it seems legit and everybody seems legit you just go through yeah they they are very good and it is rampant we are hearing it more and more I’m seeing it myself more and more uh why this is not a priority for our government just astounds me hon yeah they need to be in prison for the rest of their lives yeah yeah it’s I mean it it can really uh affect people’s retirement oh absolutely destroy lives absolutely horrible anyway please be careful and when we tell you if you’re in doubt of anything call us call your title call whoever you need to call to triple double quadruple check and don’t don’t share it with somebody share it with somebody share it with somebody call your daughter yeah it’s a lot harder to fool two people so even if you’re embarrassed and be like you know son this seems really true uh but I don’t want to look like I’m stupid and falling for it yeah always present it to another an objective second party third party and they’ll be like no yeah you know it’s okay it’s okay to run it by people and and say am I being stupid or is this legit oh and one other tip I do it all the time with rain I’m like is this us is this not us is yeah it looks that legitimate looks like a bill you know either they want you to pay it which case they have your money or they want you to call to talk about it which case they have something else going but it’s uh if you have a landline that’s now a scam line that’s that’s the landline means you’re of a certain generation they know you’re older and you’re more suceptible so get that’s another tip get rid of your land land it doesn’t help you just owning a landline informs people that you could be a mark U so get rid of your landline get rid of your landline yeah so anyway that’s our little tip of the day uh we’re hearing more about it and we’re worried about our people

As promised last week, we’re going over what the National Association of Realtors’ lawsuit settlement means for sellers, both short-term and long-term. It’s pretty simple… but also very important to know!
good afternoon hello hello peeps this is Rand and diam brro here I am the Prescot pickle lady yes she is of Prescot Arizona happy to be here just made a whole another batch of pickles waiting for my peeps to come in I can’t wait to share uh always in production as I like to say and spring is sprun so spring is got a lot of people coming in so yes I’m really doubling up on the pickles right now because we got a lot lot of people coming in so today we addressed uh a week or so ago about the lawsuit uh with the National Association of Realtors about the buyer side this week it’s about the seller side Sellers and what this lawsuit means to you as a seller so even if you’re not a buyer you may want to check out last week’s uh video uh we’ll recap at least some of that but uh a lot of good information I think you’ll find there uh just to recap so so this lawsuit’s been going on a while out of the blue the National Association of Realtors uh made this proposed settlement uh it looks like it’s going to be approved and will be implemented in the middle of July that’s July 2024 um the stti it stipulates really two main things the first is that Buyer Agents will have to sign an employment contract with their Realtors so Buyer Agents buyers will have to sign with have to buy The Bu with the buyer agent that’s not what I say I don’t know I don’t know a lot of words blah blah BL blah blah blah blah buyers coming in will have to sign an exclusive employment agreement with their realtor taking them right with their realtor and or buyer agent and it is not negotiable you cannot open a door unless the buyer is under contract yes so that’s going to affect buyers I think more than sellers the thing that does affect the sellers is that you will no longer be able to advertise buyer agent commission also called cob broke uh in MLS you will not be allowed to do that in the past it was mandatory you had to disclose what the buyers agent would be offered yes now they’re doing away with that Al together so that would have to be a separate negotiation yes outside there’s been speculation in national news that you know commissions are going to go way down and sellers are gonna you know make so much more money and uh and agents are screwed and the world’s gonna end all that stuff none of the world is not ending my friends it continues to turn no matter how horrible and how many different crazy things happen in this world we still somehow write ourselves and the whole real estate market is going to do the same thing we’re going to write ourselves and figure out the proper ways to approach all of this yeah the fundamentals of real estate have really not changed very much now you may be in a market where if you put a for sale sign up buyers will call you and in markets like that um it could be that buyer agent commissions will drop it could be that a lot of buyers are not going to want representation uh we do not live in a market like that pres is not that kind of Market presc in Pres buyers don’t live here so they don’t see your for sale signs they’re not driving by like let’s go for a Sunday drive after lunch and go oh that’s a cute house let’s go they’re in California they’re in Oregon they’re in New Jersey they’re not driving by and seeing those for sale sites so Buyer Agents have to reach out find these people talk them into coming to preset they don’t know the city they got to find where what area of the city they want to live in and then they start looking for a home so Buyer Agents in Prescot do the heavy lifting in this market no doubt about it all agents know it they don’t always talk about it but it’s the buyer agents that are you have to we advertise heavily and outof State uh markets um to bring the buyers in and but people who are looking for a change and want to come to a small town life we uh advertise we help them uh come to that conclusion hey this could be a good a good fit for me yes so yeah so right now in Prescot uh it is a strong buyers Market Market M so if you’re a potential seller here in Prescot you need to understand that Co prices are over uh you really do need to price your home at the market rate um and you um you may wait a while buyers are scarce now taking a little bit taking a little bit longer so if you’re thinking you’re going to save the buyer agent commission and that money is going to be in your pocket probably not and I wouldn’t advise you to do it if don’t offer something to the Buyer Agents first of all the buyers have to pay the commission because now they’ll be under contract so if you’re not willing to pay that they see that as just an added cost to your home uh they were always paying the commission anyway it was built in the price of your home uh don’t think you’re going to be able to build it into the price of your home and then not pay it um so the idea that you know if you want to cut out the commission and then lower the price maybe again I wouldn’t advise that because buy you’re going to need Buyer Agents to bring you buyers in this Mar that’s right you can list and save that buyer commission but if you don’t have a buyer agent bringing you buyers well yeah you’re going to sit there for a little while and uh you may not sell as quickly as you would like yes or get qualified buyers because as a buyer agent and listing we do that too but as a buyer agent we you know are you are you qualified are you serious yes we’re not going to bring you looky lose we’re only bringing serious people in yes so things to really consider uh value added as a sell’s uh you know listing you need to consider how many buyers are you really going to be able to bring in or are you going to be relying on your Buyer Agents right right if you don’t have Buyer Agents uh that are going to be bringing you uh buyers you need to have a plan B that’s right um so yeah I I I really think in the short term Not A lot’s going to change in the longer term people might be able to figure out new angles and new things in the short term so like if your house is in the market short already on the market shortterm nothing’s going to change and I wouldn’t try to do anything drastic uh to adjust for this I would just keep doing what you’re doing otherwise you’re going to be waiting years you know to sell your home so uh also too you uh you’re not allowed to advertise uh by your agent commission that doesn’t mean you can’t offer one or should not offer one yeah uh we’re going to advise our guys um our listings our listings offer if you’re going to MLS you really do need to um offer a commission uh you can offer uh a seller concession towards closing cost which I think is going to become code for uh buyer commission we’ll see if that passes muster but instead of having a a separate box for the Commission in the realt comments will it’ll say something like you know seller offers 2 and a half% uh toward buyer closing cost at Coe and uh that is allowed I’m not sure if it’s going to be allowed in MLS that we’re waiting to see that we’ll see lots of moving Parts lots of change uh but it is not deterring us in any way and it shouldn’t deter you that’s right as a seller or you know potential buyer coming in uh let us worry about that we will guide you we will make it happen that’s right that’s uh Realtors are very resourceful type Y and we will work hard to make your sale as easy as possible and get you the best buyer absolutely so don’t fret don’t worry uh just be aware there are some changes uh how it will be presented in MLS how we will uh make concessions it’s just a little a little B little wiggle yeah a little wiggle yeah I like that little wiggle a little wiggle I I think in the end it’s not going to affect uh what’s going on at presc it’s my professional opinion and I like it good job so just wanted to kind of address that I know we’ve gotten a lot of phone calls from people oh I heard on CNN I think they think all Realtors are going to no longer be in business well good luck selling your house I even saw an article that said the housing market was going to crash because it I it’s we just don’t New Media is just
