but anyway yeah welcome this is the prescott pickle lady yes it’s our weekly wine down weekly wine and we drink some wine and share some thoughts and some information about life in general real estate in general and prescott in general i’m impressed in general yeah and uh so i am diane bro and this is my partner randall brown yeah i’m the pickle ladies data troll or something that is correct kind of what we wanted to talk to i talked to you about today is uh people’s fear about moving in general not just in prescott but just moving to a brand new place that they don’t know because they don’t know anyone right and i’m going to go there i don’t know a soul i don’t know anyone and uh what this what this wine down is about is if you come to prescott and you work with us you will know us that’s right and that’s worth a lot more than you would think just knowing uh a real estate agent so uh we thought we sort of talked to you about that so many good friends yeah that i’m like wow i just love these people we’re still friends we still i’d like to see people a whole lot more and go out to eat a whole lot more but we’re always we’re always busy yeah but but when we do have availability i love to get together with former clients and now they’re just good friends yeah um and when you’re when you are brand new in a town uh just knowing one person or one couple i guess or three of us i get three of us in the pickle brigade just knowing three people well uh is of amazing value it is as you move in you can feel comfortable calling us yeah you know after you move in uh there are a lot of agents who are like done the deal’s done papers are signed see ya and you’re never here going to the next thing yeah we don’t like to be that way no no it’s kind of like everybody becomes my little peeps yeah the pickle peeps the pickle teeth they kind of come into the family and then i feel like i want to check in hey how are things going are you okay do you have any questions um you know besides our relocation guide yeah but you know sometimes you still just need to have that personal touch you need to be able to reach out and uh we like for me at least that’s my favorite part of the job yeah is i like still being in touch i like still being of assistance and helping you for us it’s not just give me that commission check when you’re moving moving is one of those things it’s uh do you want to get that turn that off somebody’s coming after the pickle lady tallahassee florida sorry i can’t talk right now sorry about that right now so uh when you are moving somewhere new that’s one of the phases of your life where a lot of things can go wrong you know if you’re starting a new job you just had a new baby god help us if that yeah you know what that you don’t go to there again no i would be shocked but you know when you go through these these points in your life where you’re sort of vulnerable yes and moving to a brand new house moving to a brand new city is one of those so having just a few people that you can call on and you know you make a call and you say uh can you get over here right now with every towel you own yes this was a recent event this is for you genie yeah who i consider a good friend yeah a really good friend uh genie weenie just moved into her house poor little thing she called me and said oh my god my house is flooded i’m out of towels and i ran out of towels and so we raced over there luckily we were actually home we raised my wife has a lot of time i do have a lot of time a lot of exceptionally large numbers yeah but anyway we literally raced over there and helped her wipe it all up stop it up get somebody out there to help her fix the problem turn the water off at the bridge um you know and so that’s the kind of service we like to provide yeah don’t think oh my house is closed and now you guys yeah if you would call a friend if you would call a friend you know where you’re living now and there’s somebody you would call uh because you need help uh you can call us you know i don’t like to talk the deal is done once you get your official recordation of your home yeah we are making connections you know dealing with hoas we’re dealing with we’re dealing with an hoa right now on two things on a fence and paint colors and and having having negotiated this myself it’s something i’m happy to do yeah i know when you move in you’ve got a hundred and fifty thousand boxes to one pack and it’s like you know i really wanna put my fence up but i gotta get my house together i’ll kind of try to do that part for you maybe you know if you want me to yeah we’ll do what we can yeah and then that way that’s one less thing you have to worry about and the wheels are in motion with the hoa to get whatever task you need to have done yeah and you don’t have to lose three months waiting time while you’re unpacking you know we like to kind of fill that blanket if you’d like you know what gets you hooked into the social scene absolutely introduce you to people we think you might get along with and you know yeah so you come to a brand new town you come to a brand new city my voice is changing yeah [Laughter] yeah so uh you

just consider you a job check done see you later um we like to keep in touch with everybody um we celebrate our relationship with you and that’s the way we like to do it that’s the way we roll absolutely we like to keep it personal and keep in touch sometimes i’d like to keep in touch a little more than i can but yeah you know we all get busy and everybody but we’re here so if you have anything major like hey tell them what do you really think about your doctor i can give you the speech oh yeah we’ll give you the scanning who do you think really does a good job with hair i can give you this you’re going to get it on that too i’ll tell you who really proves good beer yeah yeah so the point is um uh-oh uh just uh one quick tip uh just in this particular case if your house is flooding for whatever reason you should know how to turn the water off uh so if you go through the buying process and uh you know you’re going to have an inspector the inspector will show you where your main water turn off is uh most most appliances like the refrigerator it it’ll have its own shut off so you don’t have to shut off water to the whole house you’ll be able to shut it off there so that’s your fridge leaking just turn it off turn it off at the source that’s what that’s was the you know that’s what we did we you know mopped up the water there but that’s just a quick tip just a quick tip i learned myself yeah i learned myself happy that i actually i was super impressed that daddy here knew that i was really surprised tell me how i know uh because we had a dishwasher that
