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 Transcriptgood 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

Manhunt
What do pronghorn antelope, the Prescott police force, and the movie Tombstone have in common? Tune in today to find out, and learn Randal’s new nickname.
Video Transcripthello 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

Dead Bodies
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.
Video Transcriptgood 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 so uh don’t be afraid of that um but please understand if sometimes we truly don’t know the answer that’s right uh and uh sometimes we’re not even allowed to offer that to you unless directly asked that’s right so that’s our tip of the day if you want more tips Place ghost pickle 411.com that is our free information site there is something there waiting for you that will amaze us down entertain

Super Scams
Scammers are getting more and more clever – it’s no longer enough to ignore emails from Nigerian princes. Folks in the process of buying or selling a home are particularly susceptible to some of the latest scams. Tune in today to learn our best tips on how to avoid becoming a victim!
Video Transcriptgood morning good morning good morning to you Diana Randall bro here your I am the pickle lady we are your Prescot um realtor team that’s righty hope hopefully we’d love to be yeah love to represent you help you in your next chapter and something important we want to talk about yes we’re seeing it more and more especially for instance my uh my mother-in-law’s a little bit older and it’s really 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 out there and we want you to be safe and not sorry yes so um anyway call your kids if you’re worried call your representative whatever it anybody and just say help me out is this I’m worried am I okay and uh it’s always good to run it by yeah absolutely when and doubt question question question that’s right so anyway that’s our little tip and we hope that you take it to heart uh I know randle’s my source I’m always like is this true and he’s like nope and I’m like I almost fell for it so anyway uh we want to make sure everybody’s okay yeah absolutely we
