Ah, the fall in Arizona. It’s time for cooler mornings, evenings and even daytime highs start to dip. The geese are back (saw a large family of them yesterday on the golf course) and well; things are going to get rolling again. The summer heat, we hope has gone.

You’ll start to see more people out riding bikes, walking, hiking, running, driving around with the top down. It’s time to get outside again.

With all of that in mind, what in the world has happened to the golf courses? During the heat of the summer they were greener than green. Now all of a sudden it cools down and the grass isn’t that green anymore.

It’s that time of the year when the Bermuda grass goes dormant. This is just the way it goes this time of the year all throughout the Valley of the Sun. Don’t worry though the courses will be in tip top shape in which we’ve all become accustomed to. We sure do live in a wonderful community where the amenities are top notch and the staff really cares.

Did you know that, Bermuda grass is the base grass 12 months of the year at Sun City Grand (even though it goes dormant)? Newer grass which is Rye is then applied as it handles cooler temperatures better.

Okay, so we know about the ADRE Buyer Advisory as Arizona real estate professionals and we rely on it quite a bit to educate our clients. When it comes to our clients discovering things that might be important to them when considering the purchase of real property in Arizona, this advisory is a must have. I absolutely look forward to providing this report to my clients; it’s one of the first things I give to them.

When was the last time you used it yourself to learn something you didn’t know? I recently had a gentleman ask me about information on purchasing homes that might have been used for drug labs or other illegal activity. Since no one had ever asked that specific question before, I thought I had better check it out myself.

On page 5 of the ADRE Buyer Advisory you will find information on this subject. So I clicked on the link and found myself at the Arizona State Board of Technical Registration website. Well, this seemed like the wrong website, I figured I would be going to a law enforcement website where I could look up these properties. Think again. This website provides a plethora of information.

Here’s an overview of the Board of Technical Registrants:

The Board of Technical Registration was established in 1921. It is a self-supporting board deriving its revenues from fee charges for application, examination, license renewal and other miscellaneous services rendered.

The day-to-day operations of the Board are overseen by an Executive Director appointed by the Board, eighteen staff members, and an Assistant Attorney General assigned to the Board. Office operations include Administration, Enforcement/Investigations, Licensing & Examination, and Home Inspection/ Drug Lab Remediation Enforcement. The Board is a regulatory agency for the following professions and occupations: Architects, Assayers, Certified Remediation Specialists, Clandestine Drug Laboratory Site Remediation On-Site Workers and On-Site Supervisors, Engineers, Geologists, Home Inspectors, Landscape Architects, and Surveyors.

Members of the Board are appointed by the Governor for three-year terms.

You see, my point here is, while we don’t need to be experts with all of the information that can be found on the ADRE Buyer Advisory, it sure is good to go through the motions our clients do once in a while so that we may better relate to things that may be important to them.

My other point, this was just one issue my client raised to me. By my taking the time to research this myself, I found out so much more information. This information will undoubtedly be of benefit to myself and future clients of mine.

It’s a big world out there and there is a lot of information at our finger tips. All it takes is a little time and after all, aren’t we all here to help others by sharing what we know.
