One of my clients has been searching for a new home.  He loves his existing home, but a new adjacent neighbor is literally the “neighbor from Hades.”Over the past six months, I have sent him numerous mailings, have had many phone, texts and emails communications.  Yet, still no home.This past week he found a home in the community of Meadview, AZ.  Per the County Sheriff’s Office this community has the lowest crime rate of any community in Mohave County. The reason is the community is very tight knit. Neighbors help each other out. There is also a HOA with a community center and even a small putting green.Also Meadview, AZ is quite close to Lake Mead (hence the name) that offers fishing and boating. Given my client likes to fish, this is a win-win for him.We toured the home, the large ga... 12/06/2025

Living and traveling in an open range state does require one to be alert for cattle on the road.

In real estate, what does that really mean?  Let me share my most recent story about going the extra mile.Last week in five (5) days I traveled 500 miles with a client who had his older brother along for support and advice. After viewing over 10 properties in 4 different towns, Kingman, AZ, Golden Valley, AZ, Dolan Springs AZ and Meadview, AZ and physically touring 50% of those properties, an offer was made on the fifth day for the property in Meadview, AZ. First MileMy client had questions about this decided property in Meadview, AZ.  The listing agent was very forthcoming in quickly answering the questions and supplying the requested information including county permits.

As Mohave County, AZ is the fifth largest land mass county in the contiguous 48 states (San Bernadino is the largest county), showing clients properties can be an all day event. However with this client who was seeking  homes with a view and at a lower price range, we toured numerous homes over a five (5) day time frame and logged over 500 miles.Now some may say this was quite a bit of seat time, travel time and I would agree. However, the benefit for me was seeing homes that I normally would not see as I prefer selling dirt.Additionally, I became more familiar with Meadview, AZ which is 72 miles away from Golden Valley, AZ. Another delivered benefit I received was getting to know my client better and developing a stronger relationship.Finally, I confirmed once again that a buyer’s agen... 01/15/2024
