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

We’re picking up good vibrations with this latest workout equipment! If you’re looking to get healthy and feel your best then join us today as we dive into our favorite new, easy exercise machine. Get the best health benefits that come with no sweat! Just maybe a giggle or two.
H peeps Diane and Randall bro here coming to you from our beautiful little mountain town mile high up of Prescot Arizona um we are here to share something that we’ve discovered we’re just your life anybody who knows us knows that we are consumers yeah we try things so we try things so somebody says have you ever tried a vibration board I’m like I have not what is that can you tell me about it so we’re here to educate you on it and we’ll show you some video later so we call it the (00:38) Jiggler we call it the Jiggler a vibration board vibration plate a vibration plate board they call it different things you stand on it it’s a little square you’ll see it in a minute and for 10 minutes you jiggle your whole body love it love it love it first of all I laugh so hard when I’m on it you’ll see in a minute but it’s really good for your balance it’s really good for your lymphatic system to get things moving around get your blood going gives you great energy um anyway those of you (01:09) of a certain age will remember back in the day they had a machine that would stand up and there was a belt and you would put it around your butt and it would it would shake you my first tip is don’t tell young people about it because you will show how old you are that’s a lot longer ago than you will remember yes second thing is this is a little different it doesn’t shake you you’re standing on it uh so it’s a it’s a little different it has uh any number of benefits the thing that I like I like to (01:40) put it on a low speed it kind of shakes you more when it when it goes fast you’re kind of you know shaking like that so it’s really good I wake up usually in the morning I have a stiff back and uh it’s hard for me to walk I have to walk around a little while until I kind of loosen up you stand on this for 10 minutes you are loose it just Jiggles everything it gets every your blood kind of going it’s good for what is it the posture balance what’s the lymphatic system yeah get your lymphatic (02:14) system lactic acid supposed to help with uh cellulite it’s supposed to help with um especially if you work out a lot and you have a lot of Trapped lactic acid and you’re hurting you get on this thing it shakes it all out of you yes yes if you if you particularly if you’re doing weight training uh it’s a really good idea to get on something like this afterwards because it keeps you from getting what’s called blood pooling where where you all the lactic acid sits in one area and it just sits there for (02:45) days this will mix all that up it’ll allow you to absorb that and get rid of it uh so we are just we laughed so hard when we first got on it um now we are converts they go from F1 all the way to F9 program one PR oh yeah why did I say F I don’t know program one to program n and you change it up they say to change it up every day and go to a different level I love it it really gives me a lot of energy gets the day going so so the the lower speeds are more for the lymph and lactic acid and all that the higher (03:20) speeds are more about cellulite uh balance uh you know so the different different levels give you different benefits uh but it’s worth it all of maybe 100 bucks 100 bucks get your we call it we call it we don’t call it all that fancy words vibration board vibration whatever we call it we simply call it the Jiggler the Jiggler and J it Jiggles you it’s hilarious now they have a couple of models uh one has a bracket I guess that comes up almost like a like bicycle handles so you have something to hold on to we just put ours up against (03:59) the bar so you can kind of hold on to the bar uh ours came with rubber um yeah so you can exercise with it if you want we don’t you do curls yeah you can do we don’t do any of that we’re not that ambitious yeah you can get on it and do just your arm and they show you all these ways that you can lay on it and sit on it we just stand on it uh we keep it very very know that I’ll have to look at that yeah yeah yeah don’t sit on it I you know you might want to try that but uh I wouldn’t recommend it but standing (04:31) on it’s great and then the wider your feet the more of a shake you get yeah uh so if you if you feeling you’re you’re getting a little rattled you can kind of put your feet in the middle and kind of reduce it a little bit I’ll move around like I’ll feel like a certain muscle I can feel stiffness and I’ll move so it’s shaking that part of my body uh but mornings are a lot a lot more enjoyable for me now uh you know I don’t I don’t have that stiffness none of that sounds right but anyway it is a good thing it’s (05:01) good for it’s not going to hurt folks try the Jiggler now I should say if listen if if you have some kind of back issue you know or you might want to check might not be for you might not be for you might want to check checking with your doctor uh but I I think for most people it it it would have some benefit it’s been great for us and uh we really get it on Amazon just look up vibration board it’s not if you don’t like it s it back yeah it’s not called the Jiggler that’s not called the (05:28) Jiggler that’s just the Bros into business making vibration boards we will call it the Jiggler yeah okay so that’s just something fun and new we just tried and every morning we get up and saddle up on that Jiggler for 10 minutes yep it’s a great way to start the day yes okay friends hope that you can find it on Amazon and that you too can jiggle and start your day off just right okay cheers to the Jiggler woohoo see you soon bye okay

This one is for all the water lovers out there! We have a list of the secret top best lakes to visit in Arizona for swimming, tubing, fishing, and more. Put your bathing suit on and tune into our newest episode to find your next water adventure.
bonjour bonjour bour you know you’re so fresh I know I tried to change it up a little bit yeah I know that’s that this is NOAA olaaa hello hello hello Randol and Dian bro yeah she’s pickle lady we’re in Prescot Arizona here to talk about things real estate things presc y things presc real estate real estate and Presa things to do restaurants all kinds of tips and tricks and so we get a lot of questions from people about lakes here um we have a lot of lakes we have also (00:37) reservoirs that are called Lakes but technically they’re reservoirs yes um a lot of people say I’d like to have a lake house well I want to set that for you first not going to happen not going to happen all St uh all of the lakes around here are around state land so and preserv so I can’t I can’t find for you get a view of the Lakes get a view of the Lakes get on the lake so I’m so sorry so I want to clear that expectation up first the second thing we get is is they’re fishing swimming (01:09) Etc so all right we did a little research yeah we did a little research so actually used artificial intelligence there you go which is we we we like artificial intelligence chat GPT uh so the question was whether you can swim in any of these lakes and the answer is no so uh for Watson and Willow those are reservoirs that water is runoff so they kind of think well that’s not probably a good idea to tell people to go swimming in there because we don’t know where it’s running off know (01:39) running off from sow w40 you know or something like that it’s washed into that was in there so that’s probably not a good idea also too they’re they’re very shallow yeah they’re shallow it’s not good swimming it’s not good swimming uh you can kayak canoe paddle board no motorboat mized yeah but you still can get out there and enjoy the lake just don’t get in it yeah and you can fish I don’t know if it’s uh Catch and Release but uh you do see people out there fishing and they’re (02:10) all stocked so I you know they’re they’re stocked with trout uh the gold water lake same thing no swimming but it’s primarily for fishing boating and picnicking also too they they don’t like people in the waters CU it it makes it muddy you stir up the bottom cuz and they want to that’s a good fishing spot so they want to preserve that yeah cuz none of these laks are particularly deep um so if you have people thrashing around it’s going to make them really murky right uh (02:39) if you want to go swimming there are other places that you can go uh Crescent Moon Ranch which is near Sedona uh Fossil Creek about two hours from Prescot Grasshopper Point near Sedona Slide Rock State Park oh that’s fun I haven’t done it but it’s on my list of things to do yeah the rocks eles are like it’s like a water slide like a water slide so you can go and yeah and verie River that’s about an hour and a half away a lot of people know about the ver Riv nice and cool and (03:10) uh and clean so there go tubing in too which is really cool like right outside of Phoenix you can tube in there is actually Wild Horses yeah that you’ll be tubing and here comes a a herd of wild horses just coming into the water to to cool off so that’s kind of that’s kind of cool yeah so yeah you really can’t swim or motorboat but but it’s still beautiful uh links like in particular you’ll feel like you’re in California yeah it’s beautiful you’re surrounded by beautiful trees huming Birds (03:38) Galore lovely absolutely lovely we did a a video not too long ago on links lake cafe which is right on links Lake and absolutely beautiful so do we have lakes yes we do um can you live around them no you can’t can you go out and enjoy them and paddle board and canoe and what have you yes you absolutely can can you fish in some of them yes so uh if you’re an avid outdoor person there’s lots of hiking trails all around these Lakes so not only if you don’t want to get in the water or paddle board or canoe you can at least hike around and just enjoy I mean there’s (04:17) beautiful kayak and you fall over and you got you’re not going to vaporize or anything it’s not it’s not you know it’s nothing like that it’s all good so don’t worry about that so uh anyway that is our uh tip of the day about lak um thank you to whoever asked us one of our clients yeah if you have any questions and all feel free to email us we’ll cover it on our wind Downs absolutely just like we covered this one always we like to research and we it it’s good (04:46) for us to learn new things too yeah absolutely so uh we’re excited to to learn all kinds of

hear from you soon and uh maybe if you come visit you can take your own hike around some of these beautiful lakes absolutely and see what it’s all about what life is about here in Prescot it’s not bad folks it’s nice it’s a good place to wash up in for Sureway don’t (05:18) swim just don’t swim no swim yeah no swimming but anyway all right we hope you’re having a great day and we hope to hear from

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 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
