Tiger Woods Wins Unprecedented 3rd World Match Play Championship The juggernaut that goes by the name of Tiger Woods graced the fairways of Dove Mountain this week.  Coming away with a record 3rd Championship in the Accenture World Match Play series, he has won every event he has entered this year so far.  While people will undoubtedled ask him over and over again about the possibility of an undefeated season, it matters only to the statisticians, as he is proving yet again that he is the best player the game has ever produced. Records fall like dominos in regular order as his career rolls along like a finely tuned machine.  Sometimes there are adjustments to be made, a tweak here, an improvement there...but even in his "off" years, Tiger Woods dominates his competition. Take this year'...

If you were to compare the amount of time you dedicate to golf compared to your real estate business there is obviously no comparison right?  For starters then throw, leave, do whatever you to do to every expectation you have in your car, better yet the trunk before you head to the practice tee. Please notice, I didn't say 1st tee. That is by far the most common mistake we make and that is preparing your golfing mind for the course. Yes! You do have one, some are just more developed than others. I'll get more into that in a bit.  Let's face facts first. You know your game better than anyone else. So if you don't play too often start by choosing the right set of tees to play from. For the vast majority of us, the whites are the best choice. However, many of the newer courses have 5 sets ...

Word has it that the development known as Saguaro Springs, a 2,500 home development in Marana, AZ (near Tucson) may have tanked, and will revert to the original sellers for the original sales price of $30,000,000., resulting in a loss of approximately $70,000,000 for a national developer who has invested that amount in roads and infrastructure.               Situated to the north of West Twin Peaks Rd in Marana, and west of Interstate 10, the project is an anchor of Marana's spectacular growth.  The setback may hold up the planned construction of the Twin Peaks interchange at I-10, the cost of which will be paid not by the federal government, but by private development companies.  It's unclear what the effect may be on the yet-to-be-built Marana Spectrum, a lifestyle mall approved by th...

Builder Online Magazine points out that there are some very smart investors who have taken advantage of the current real estate cycle.  Case in point, Chris Kemmerly sold his company Kemmerly Homes to Standard Pacific in August 2004.  In December 2007, Standard Pacific sold its Tucson division back to a group led by Kemmerly.  The price was not disclosed but everyone has to assume that in lieu of Standard Pacific's struggling financial state, the Kemmerly group got a good deal.  The inventory at that time was 700 lots and 70 completed or partially completed homes.  The deal closed prior to fiscal year end (smart investment move for the buyers). Smart Tucson investors love our $299 AZ flat fee listing service.   Visit the www.congressrealty.com website to learn more.

In a market where one house competes with ten thousand others for the attention of a single buyer, you--the listing agent--have a most powerful ally in presenting your house to the world.  Allow me to present that ally.  Meet the setting sun.  Its rich, deep yellow rays have a unique power over the imagination.  They can transform an image of your listing from dull, flat and ordinary to rich, deep, warm and inviting.This ordinary Wal-mart geranium illustrates my point perfectly.  There's something magical about the image I've created there to your left.  You want it.  Your attention is drawn to its complexity and texture.  That image creates a desire within you that's emotionally satisfying, and you want it to be yours.The geranium is not what captured your attention.  You've ignored fl...

The town of Marana will become the sixth Arizona municipality to span a county dividing line. Marana plans to annex roughly 440 acres into southern Pinal County to accommodate a planned 1,800-acre development dubbed the Villages at Tortolita. The town council last week gave Developer Mike Zipprich and town planning staff the go-ahead for the annexation process. The Villages of Tortolita eventually will add 6,500 houses, townhomes, apartments and condominiums to Marana. The development will stretch along the east side of Interstate 10 from Marana Road into southern Pinal.The five distinct villages planned, seven miles to the north of Saquaro National Park, will span north from Grier Road into Pinal County. Plans include a 20 acre community park and recreational facilities, a shopping com...
