Lake Havasu residents are encouraged to comment on the City's request for a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lease at an open house scheduled for October 21, 2009 from 6-8pm. The open house will be held at the Lake Havasu City Chambers in the police facility located at 2360 McCulloch Blvd N.

The Lake Havasu housing stats for July 2009 are in and they are looking good. According to the Lake Havasu Association of REALTORS®, the sales of single-family homes, multi-family homes and vacant land in Lake Havasu City were up in July 2009 compared to the same time last year. Sales of single-family homes were up 43% (140 units sold in July 2009 vs 98 sold in July 2008), sales of vacant parcels of land were up 33% (12 lots sold in July 2009 vs 9 sold in July 2008) and sales of multi-family homes were up 150% (5 sold in July 2009 vs 2 sold in July 2008). Single-family and multi-family home sales are experiencing an upswing in year-to-date figures for 2009 compared to the same time period as last year as well, with single-family home sales up almost 25% and multi-family homes up almost 108%. Vacant land sales have remained almost the same. Even though the average sale price for a single-family home in Lake Havasu in July 2009 was much lower than the same time last year (currently at $187,627), it has actually increased from May and June. Is this a leveling out of the market? You would need a crystal ball to tell. But, I can tell you this for sure: with these prices and the expiration date for the $8000 First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit quickly approaching, now is the time to buy your Lake Havasu home. Contact me now so we can get you in that home as quickly as possible.
Saturday, September 26th is the big day here in Lake Havasu City for the amazing Fire Truck Tug and Family Safety Day. The Fire Truck Tug, is exactly what it sounds like: a tug of war. Teams will compete to see who can pull the fire truck 10 feet in the shortest amount of time. Competing teams will be co-ed as well as all male and all female. Each team will be using their brute strength to impress and entertain you while raising funds for the Special Olympics. The fire truck to be used for the event is from our own great Lake Havasu City Fire Department.
Family Safety Day will be held at Rotary Community Park between 9am and 1pm. As the name implies, this is a day in which families can have a lot of fun while learning more about safety. There will be booths on hand with information about safety in vaious areas of your lives. There will even be a place where you can have your child's car seat checked for safety.
The day will include airbrushed tattoos, a bounce house, crafts and prizes. There will also be skate board competitions at the skate park.
*****All funds raised by the Fire Truck Tug will be donated to the Special Olympics*****
Competition forms can be found at the Aquatic/Community Center. Registration must be notarized in order to participate. For more information about the event or participation, call Janice Brown at 453-8686. I hope to see you there!

My "Client-First" Philosophy
There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.
That said, in my experience as a Lake Havasu City real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.
This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.
