Wow, it almost has already been a year again since I have blogged about where to celebrate Forth of July in the Phoenix Metro area.
Most of the links in last years post point to updated information, however Scottsdale’s Family Barbecue will be celebrated at the […]

Windsor Square Historic District Home Tour:
One of our most enjoyable traditions in Phoenix is the historic district home tour. We have an astonishing number of historic homes and homeowners who cherish their properties and gladly share them with the public.

Yesterday, National Real Estate Auction Corp. held their auction at the Airport Marriott Hotel in Phoenix and I had to attend the event since I blogged about this last month. There were over 100 properties of all kinds consigned and approximately 80 to 100 people turned up a the ball-room of the Phoenix Airport Marriott. […]

Sometime last November I came across the Altos Resarch website on the Bloodhoundblog and was fascinated by the depth of analysis possible with their reports. By the same token, I was disappointed that the reports were not yet available in the Phoenix Metro area. Impatiently I contacted Michael Simonsen to find out […]

I have newfound respect for actors and film producers. After spending six and a half hours shooting video in downtown Phoenix – no script, no teleprompter, no rehearsal – I understand just how hard the work is. My brief “career” began in April when I was “discovered” by James Smith of Realtor.com and asked […]
