hello hello hello friends this is your friendly realtors here in prescott arizona prescott pickle lady prescott pickle lady this is diana randall bro here today we’re in the arizona room uh which is a great little ballroom here in hasayamba yeah today’s uh hacienda filming yes you caught on to that yes but we love it here anyway so we are here today to kind of talk to you guys about inspection period election period inspection period is very important absolutely so once an offer is decided upon and get your earnest money in place yep you get your earnest money in place with your title company which time for due diligence put your uh money in escrows opened and then the 10-day inspection period yes start yes which is really cool so within 10 days you have your home inspection you have your termite inspection if you’re out in a remote area then you have your well inspection etc wells uh we typically give a 20-day inspection period so we get the water samples back they’re usually 10 but usually they’re 10. usually there’s no weld so yeah that’s done yeah so this is a very important time during that time if anything should change if you find something out during inspection that you don’t like that you can’t agree upon with the seller to either correct or give you some money towards that you know repair whatever whatever negotiations fall apart at that point within that 10 days you can easily walk away and still get your earnest money back yeah correct that’s basically what the inspection period is it’s your due diligence time so during that time you’re going to find out everything you’re going to get disclosures from the seller you’re going to have your inspection reports coming in uh you’re going to get hoa information all of this stuff yes uh insurance make sure you can get that property is insurable this is the time to do your due diligence you have 10 days to do it if there’s any reason at all why you decide you want to back out generally you can and get your earnest money back if you do it within the 10-day inspection period right and so during that time you’re also going to get what’s called the spuds and that is disclosures from the seller about everything that’s been done to the property or incidents you get your insurance claims reports which if they’ve had any kind of yeah so if if there’s a claim and it’s not on the disclosure shame on them that’s why they do that it’s kind of a check to make sure that you know oh they had the roof replaced but they they failed to disclose that well you’ll get the insurance claim so you’ll see that yes well one thing that you you should understand about the inspection period is it’s the time to do due diligence don’t try to do your due diligence before you go under contract you’ll lose the house okay yes go under contract then you get everything you don’t have to be a detective or any you know everything will be given to you will have all the information and if you decide to walk you get your earnest money back you’ll be out the money that the inspectors will cost you which you know we’re talking hundreds of dollars not thousands right and the other thing is once you do have all of your disclosures and things that need to be maybe that pop up during inspection then you go into your binzer period where you approach your buy your sellers and you say hey you know what i’d like this this and this address yeah and you come to it’s another very few homes are perfect uh and so generally there’ll be something that you want the seller to take care of and so you do that through a document that’s called the binzer it stands that benzer’s buyer inspection notice seller response and uh essentially it’s like another round of negotiations so you know this is what i’d like fix the seller says yes the seller says no the seller says there’s something in between right the seller offers you money instead of the repairs themselves all of this is essentially another round of negotiations exactly and if you can’t come to an agreement uh then you walk with your interests you walk with your owner’s money now here’s something very key if after the 10-day inspection period you have decided i’m going to stay in there hang in there and then day 20 you decide hmm i change my mind you will lose your earnest yeah then you probably lose at that point you will not have yeah that’s what the inspection fear is for so hit it hard yeah exactly that’s when you do your thinking exactly so i think that covers inspections what are your thoughts yeah i think so anything you’d like to add sounds a lot more complicated it’s really not it’s really not it protects i guess both sides yeah it definitely protects both sides and uh and we’re here to help you through it absolutely we’re happy to do that you don’t have to think oh my gosh i don’t know a home inspector i don’t have a termite guy we have all of that for you yeah we’ll get that we will

best of it to get over the past 20 minutes of trying to film duct tape your phone to a stick that’s all you need sometimes you don’t need that fancy technology no you don’t anyway let me get back on task yeah absolutely i’m diane bro this is randall bro yes we are the spouses who sell houses she is the pickle lady correct and we are really excited uh this morning we are here at the hacienda inn it’s very historic we’re kind of in the dining area uh it was built in 1927. we’re going to show you some footage in a little bit of the lobby and all the beautiful it’s kind of art deco where it is wouldn’t you think yeah wouldn’t you say sure um i love it here they have some uh it’s a nice dining and also uh every evening they have a cocktail hour happy hour with live music yes they do you can’t go wrong yeah really cool you can’t go wrong yeah so we wanted to show you the haciampa a lot of people will be like i’ll meet you at the hacienda this is it this is the one has some cool little stories about it i think somebody like rode their horse all the way up the stairs not allowed to do that now but my horse at home you should leave yours yeah but it is a cool little place it is a nice little meeting place absolutely it’s very relaxing so we are here today not only to show you the historic hacienda inn uh but also to talk about if you are moving here and you want acreage you want horse property or you want um to be remote as we call it a little farther out from from this from the square as they say a lot of people they come to present i’m going to be a mountain man i’m going to live off of berries here’s here’s this great gal yeah hello hello there she is she’s a great girl here at the hacienda i should say woman you’re not supposed to say girls yeah i want to be pc thank you for saving our morning drinks right now and bloody mary’s oh that’s good that is good yeah it looks good it is very good but anyway so a lot of times people are like you know i don’t want to be right next door to my neighbor i want some acreage i want to be out there i want some peace and quiet and enjoy the beauty of you know mountain vistas yeah get away from it right away from it all but what you should know is if you go remote here in prescott uh a lot of times you will be on a well yeah you start going off the grid you start going off the grid so you will not have city utilities you’ll have a weld typically you’ll have um propane tanks for your gas because they can’t run gas lines way out there and they will also have septic tanks which can be conventional septic or alternative septic yeah of the three propane is really not that big a deal a lot of areas you just have a propane tank you get filled up you know once or twice a year you carry the tank other than that it’s really not that big it isn’t a big deal and you just learn and you quickly learn the best times of year to buy your buy uh don’t buy when it’s cold if a blizzard’s coming not the time to buy that propane should have thought of that a few weeks ago they’re going to jack the price up yeah they will but you learn it’s simple it’s fast it’s easy they come fill it up what do you think about 500 a year to fill it off yeah yeah it depends on the capacity of tank i guess i guess rates go up and down but uh it’s not it’s not that much more than if you just have regular gas right so it’s really not that so that’s one thing don’t be afraid of any of these things they’re all you know all doable all doable you quickly learn your service people who come out and help you yeah um when it comes to wells um we always recommend beside your traditional home inspection uh if you’re in a remote property yeah we recommend and uh well inspection test the well as well as uh test the septic and have that all inspected make sure everything’s working correctly so on the well they’re gonna they’re gonna test the amount of of water that the well produces per minute typically make sure that you get enough water how many gallons per minute per minute yeah if you’re if your well is a little slow they can put a storage tank um so that’s kind of easy to fix as well so that you’re pulling from a tank instead of directly from the well they also test the quality the water make sure the water is pure but you know and if it isn’t there’s very easy ways to fix that as well not a problem yeah um and then you just kind of keep your eye on it yeah and then septic tanks same thing you know usually they are conventional septic is very easy to maintain um you test it make sure it’s working correctly yeah as part of the inspection we’ll test it uh make sure everything’s working okay um typically if someone’s selling a house that has a septic they’ll have to pump it at some point to have it tested but generally if the septic tank the septic system is running fine it’s really pretty low maintenance stuff essentially you have waste water treatment in your yard instead of the wastewater treatment where the sewer goes and all pretty much works the same yeah septic isn’t bad and that’s no crime that’s right yeah i got it i see what you were doing there i was trying to set it up yeah alternative systems are a little more complicated you can have probably a few more things go wrong with alternative systems but in general if it’s working okay uh not a whole lot of crap so i think that’s good yeah it’s great so uh just well we did septic we did uh propane yeah oh and but then there’s cold water oh yes cold water yeah h-a-u-l-e-d yeah hauled water yeah people here will pronounce that without the southern accents yeah so it’s kind of like i don’t understand water hold yeah they said hold water water i don’t know what that means but now i do it’s not heavy water it’s not yeah so that’s when you’re really really remote and yeah they’ll fill up yeah they fill up a truck with water and they come in yep and the truck has to literally deliver the water to your well yeah and so that’s called hauled water well not to your well to your house to your house yeah yes in hot water you don’t have it well hello yes hello but anyway yeah clearly i’m a city girl yeah that’s right hold water yeah you’re all in water that’s pretty remote or there are some areas where the wells are bad uh you know that for whatever reason the quality of the water isn’t good uh so you gotta hold water so uh the other thing you should also keep in mind is that some areas like inscription canyon talking rock et cetera they have their own private water company yeah yeah yeah yeah private waters so some of those areas whispering canyon um inscription canyon talking mark had their own private water so they don’t have wells um you do have quote city water but it’s not through the city it’s not through a city so they call it private water they call it private water so if you’re looking at a listing and you’re like what is private water water that’s what it means it’s a private water company that you pay separately doesn’t mean your water wants to stay anonymous or anything no no they’re not trying to buy the company you just send the check to a different place they’re not trying to be on the downlow it just means it’s a privately owned watercolor anymore not city of prescott so what’s the other thing that people should know so bear in mind when you’re going up remote and you want that kind of thing you might run across those things nothing to be afraid of nothing that we can’t conquer together nothing that you know we don’t have inspections for to make sure it’s all in proper working order we’ll help you get there so if you want to go remote that’s part of the deal and we’ll be glad to help you with that yes yeah so anyway i think that’s it is i think that’s it that’s what i want to say i want people to understand good job finally we’ve got our sometimes new technology is not the way to go i mean you know yeah it’s not good it’s not i don’t like when things don’t work you know i i don’t i need to shoot this in five minutes and be done you know what i mean that’s us yeah that’s awesome we this is not on cue cards people yeah we’re making this up as we go along i’m sure you pretty much i’m sure you caught on to that this is not scripted no no no no no this is not scripted and barely edited and barely edited we’re working hard we’re working hard to teach you all the different things buying a home here in prescott anyway if you come here to visit please make sure to uh make a stop here at the hacienda inn yeah it’s lovely it’s tradition here and um you’ll be
