The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.
You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last three winners of the Miss America pageant.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.
How did you do?
The point is , none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.
These are no second-rate achievers.
They are the best in their fields.
But the applause dies.. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.
Even the smartest, the most beautiful, the most successful, the most popular don’t make a lasting impact . . .
Now, here's another quiz.
See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special!!
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
Easier?
The lesson:
The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials…
The most money...or the most awards.
They simply are the ones who care the most.
Please let me know how I can make a real difference for you and make your list!

Monsoon Madness is the only place to be in Queen Creek when July temperatures soar. One word sums up the weather in Queen Creek Arizona... "HOT" so each year the town of Queen Creek holds its anual "Monsoon Madenss" event held at Founders Park, 22407 S. Ellsworth Road, Queen Creek AZ. The event kicked off at 9am on Saturday morning with the termperature starting in the high 90's and reaching above 105 degrees by mid day.
This did not stop over 2000 of the towns residents coming out to enjoy the variety of muddy and water fun to be had by all including the 100 ft slip 'n' slide, inflatable water slides for the younger children and the Monsoon Mudslide. 
Two "Mad Mud" volley ball courts were created this year with sixteen teams signed up for the event.
The Town of Queen Creek fire department were there to ensure everyone kept cool by showering the area with their remote control water jet from the fire truck.
This certainly is a crazy market we are experiencing right now, especially in the Pinal County, Queen Creek Arizona area or San Tan Valley as it has just been named. Home prices have been hit hard and foreclosures and short sales dominate the market out here. I was out with one of my buyer clients today. They are a retired couple looking for a single family home in this area for under $100,000. The husband is a retired Pastor. Today we viewed 10 single level homes, and it is home number 7 on our tour that simply stopped me and my clients in our tracks. You see most foreclosure homes are expected to be, well not turn key. Missing window treatments, appliances and stained carpets are the norm, however this particular home came with something extra. The listing sheet stated that there were multiple offers in the home already and that highest and best offers were to be submitted no later than today. Perhaps what I saw in the living room of this home as I opened the door is what brought so many offers on this one property.
I could not make this up if I tried, and I have the picture below to prove what I saw.
There were a total of 2130 closed sales from January 1st to June 30th in 2009 compared to 1636 in January 1st to June 30th of 2008. The average selling price for that period was $220,752 compared to an average selling price of $280,085 for the same period in 2008, a percentage drop of 21%. The average sales price per square foot was $97.57 compared to $129.46 for the same period in 2008. The average number of days a house was on the market was 84, compared to 97 days for the same period in 2008. Currently there is a 3.5 month supply of inventory with 1229 houses on the market for sale as of 07/09/2009. With prices down so low and interest rates very favorable plus the $8000 first time home buyer tax credit, it is a great time to buy if you know where to look. As real estate expert in Gilbert, my team and I are here to help you find a great property at a great price, please contact us today for an up to date market report or a list of bank owned foreclosed homes.

Sheryl Robinson is a terrific person to work with. She assisted me and my 2 little girls sell our starter home and relocate to a larger home in a newer neighborhood. She understood exactly what I was trying to accomplish. She knows the market well and works to get the best price for a buyer or a seller. She went above and beyond the normal Realtor duties and even assisted with home improvement planning, handyman arrangements, home warranties and lots and lots of follow up. Every question or email was answered within 24 hours of presentation. No matter what our circumstances, questions or concerns she always made me feel like I was her only client and all her efforts were focused on me. Being a single parent and constantly working extra shifts is hard enough without the added burden of trying to move. Her skills and knowledge took a lot of the hassles of buying and selling off me. She did all the legwork.
Sheryl, we really appreciated all of your time and attention to our entire family and all your help getting us through these trying months. We'll gladly recommend you to EVERYONE we run across looking for realty services. You are the best.

Sheryl, thank you for your excellent REALTOR services. Your professionalism combined with enthusiasm and motivation helped sell our Queen Creek home quickly. You consistently communicated with us and your follow-up was excellent. I realize it is rare to list a home, find a buyer, and close in 11 days, but you did it!
The photos and virtual tour you created really sold our home. Thank you again, and be assured I will refer people to you without any hesitation.

You were always available to address our needs and concerns, and you went out of your way to be helpful and patient. We would be proud to recommend you to others as a hard working, knowledgeable, and trustworthy real estate professional. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us. We will recommend Sheryl to all of our friends, family, and anyone else we come across who may be interested in buying or selling a home. Sincerly,
