Tempe has a ton of wonderful and diverse communities. From horse property to ultra luxury urban communities and just about everything in between.
Saturday, October 18th is "G.A.I.N" night which stands for Getting Arizona Involved in Neighborhoods and is designed to heighten crime prevention awareness in neighborhoods. Lori and I will once again be joining several of our neighbors in participating in this fun event with our kids at Stroud Park in Tempe. The Camelot Village Neighborhood Association is involved and they describe the night as a partnership effort between the Tempe Police Department and Neighborhood Watch Programs, Neighborhood Associations and Apartment Communities. During G.A.I.N. residents lock their doors, turn on the their porch lights and spend the evening outdoors with their neighbors.
Camelot Village is just one of the great neighborhoods near the park and just a small sample of the Tempe lifestyle. We walk to Stroud Park often and enjoy the playground, basketball hoops, large grass areas and of course the kids love the "sea shells" along the canal. Come on over and join us on the 18th for GAIN! There will be food and a lot of fun people to hang out with. Feel free to bring a dish to share or to just come check it out!
In case you are curuius, I have enclosed some information on a few of the homes available in this area. Of course, to search the mls for other homes in Tempe or any place else in the valley, you can do so on our web site! :-)
For the month of October, we have gone PINK in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness. This is a great opportunity to tell our friends about FREE mammograms.
For many years, I have sponsored teams for the "Climb to Conquer Cancer" as it is a cause very near and dear to my heart. There are many other great ways to get involved in helping raise money and awareness. In fact, a friend of ours is helping with a "Relay for Life" event this month. Take a look!
You should also know that the Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on 'donating a mammogram' for free (pink window in the middle). This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammograms in exchange for advertising. We can all do a lot to help!
Recently, I was invited to the Fox 10 studios to talk about real estate and my business. This was a great opportunity for me to help people get a better feel for what I do. Basically, I was able to share:
1. A little bit of my background. I talked about living in the area for over 35 years and about the fact that I have been selling real estate in the valley for the past 16 years.
2. Some of the tools we use to help clients. Everyone knows that most people begin their search on the internet. We will continue to grow our on line presence in ways that help buyers and sellers. ie: great mls search tools etc. etc.
3. Some of the trends I see in the real estate market. I was able to share my opinion that many people are looking for great homes in great locations. Unfortunately, when the market was out of control, some people didn't consider some of these key points as much as they should have. Thankfully, there is enough inventory in great locations that people can get back to making more rational decisions.
4. My contact information. Of course, we are easy to find on the web but having multiple office locations with Realty Executives in the valley as well as other locations all over the world allow me to help people moving to the area as well as from the area. Basically, I was able to tell people to "Just Call Nick!" at 602-803-Nick (6425)
Thanks so much to Fox, I had a lot of fun.
I was really glad to have been invited to the ribbon cutting to celebrate Fidelity National Title's relocation to the Hayden Ferry Lakeside building. This is one of the most impressive spaces around and they occupy the entire 11th floor of this gorgeous building. As you cross the Mill Avenue Bridge or pass by on the freeway on the North side of the lake, you can't help but look at these beautiful buildings. Basically, you have the commercial space closer to the bridge and the residential towers of Bridgeview and Edgewater directly to the East. Talk about a cool lifestyle! Imagine working in one of these buildings and living in the residential towers? This is some of Arizona's finest urban design and is located just north of the Mill Avenue District's light rail stop at 3rd St/Mill Avenue.
Mayor Hallman spoke and truly seemed to love having Fidelity move their corporate offices from the 24th St and Camelback location. I have talked to several Fidelity employees and they seem to love the new building and the location. I spoke with marketing representative Jennifer Weller about how fun it will be to take the light rail to a baseball or basketball game while not having to fight traffic or find parking.
Overall, it was a great night with some nice people, some really good food and a lot of celebrating.
