Sure it's a gorgeous pool and many take use of the convenience of the location within the community.
NOTE:
Due to the increase in the utility rates for 2009 and the earlier nightfall causing minimal usage, The Lakes Community Association will be covering the pool at 6pm Saturday and Sunday. This earlier closing will go through at least mid-February as temperatures remain cold. During the week, the pool hours will remain until 7:30 pm as usual.
If you're considering buying or selling a home in The Lakes of Tempe, feel free to contact me for the latest scoop on how time on market, short sales and foreclosures can create opportunity or spell disaster.
I can be reached at 602-790-0607 and will be happy to answer questions you may have.

Entry, living room, dining room and fireplace!
Master Bedroom with fireplace, carpet/flooring situation, walk-in closet and master bath.
Second Master Suite with bath and dual sinks. No walk-in closet but double closets.
Third Bedroom and view from upstairs to downstairs. Notice the architectual touches and the quality lighting and fans. Great view from upstairs.
Downstairs in kitchen and family room area with fireplace. Half bath, laundry closet and patio door.
Back yard and play area. Notice the planting area...This will really sell the home when dressed up if we leave the blinds open leading out to the patio. The front door opens to the view out of the patio door. Flowers there will really have an impact!
Here are shots of the hot water heater and the hole in the garage that is beneath the flooring from upstairs. Fortunately, you can access the master bedroom's floor from the garage allowing more support to be added as the floor currently creaks. Also, the half-bath toilet and sink flash photos since the video couldn't be shot with the lack of lighting.
Here's a shot of the community pool:
I hope this helps!

Rather than get distracted at either my home office or real estate office when I want to do my regular past client follow-up calls, I decided that this year, I would do them at open houses held during the week or on weekends.
Guess what happens? Each open house I've done, I have gone from person to person, one right after another. They usually start out slow but after the first half hour of calling, BOOM! Today, 14 people from 11:30-4:15pm came through. I did have a lull for 40 minutes or so but that was quickly occupied by calls.
I've even tried doing open houses during the week, during the day!!! Same result, 15 people at one, 12 at another.
Is it because I plan on making phone calls and fate won't allow it? Or, is there an increase in pent up demand of people that want to buy homes?

REALTOR - Servicing Mesa, Tempe, Gilbert, Chandler, Ahwatukee, Scottsdale and other Phoenix metro cities. Mortgage planning experience and certification allows me to help with your lender.
I have helped many buyers and sellers to identify short term and long term financial objectives in order to choose a mortgage debt instrument that will help to achieve those financial goals. Although I am a Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist, and carry the CMPS designation, I do not originate nor close mortgage transactions. This choice helps to provide an ethical approach to my clients' needs.
In order to better serve my clients, I have completed the course work for various collateral areas in financial services as well as passed the examinations for the following: Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist, Arizona licenses for health insurance, life insurance and disability, NASD Series 6, Series 63, Series 26 and Series 65. Although these have been completed, I do not have any of the licenses as active.
I work with various financial planners and estate planning attorneys. I have worked on many cases involving divorce or dissolution of non-marital relationships to help settle the property between couples. My business has been built through professional and past-client referrals who understand the value of what I provide: Education, Integrity, Care, Attention to Detail and Post-Closing Follow-up.
Currently, I have been contracted to perform market directional studies for various clients. I complete research to determine the amount of downside risk associated with making real estate decisions. Investors utilize this service to better negotiate purchase prices based on fundamentals rather than phantom comparable listings.
When it comes to money and real estate, I have an ongoing pursuit of knowledge. I have a complete understanding of FHA, VA, FNMA, FHLMC and non-prime guidelines. This helps me to better serve first time homebuyers wanting to purchase with no money out of pocket all the way through to elderly clients wanting to mitigate tax liability on the transfer of real property assets.
FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS should be very careful now to force the bottom to occur in the market area that you are looking to purchase in. Never consider the comparable listing amounts as a key factor to determine whether or not you are getting a "DEAL"! Use sound fundamentals.
Investors should take care to evaluate how many additional foreclosures are due to occur in a market area. It is not the one's you see, watch out for the one's that haven't even shown up yet!
When purchasing my first home, I failed to ask questions. I thought that everything would be in order because I was dealing with professionals. Your home is your castle and it is important that you plan your financial future as if you were building your castle.
Select a home for a home, not an investment or tax write-off. Know where you would like to be financially, in the future. Know how to get there. Manage your income, assets and most importantly, your debt in order to reach your goals.
I expect you to ask questions so please feel free to participate in the blog postings. Your success and mine should move in tandem. -Welcome!
