 Why the raves about this place? We stopped in somewhere in California this last week. Nothing and I mean Nothing special. So what is the magic I hear about? Sure as hell is not the food.

11:35 pm - What its worth or NOT......
Tonight one of the shows of " What its worth" there was a home here in Phoenix, a fifties modern by R. Haver. It like so many homes featured on these shows that came from Phoenix are not worth anything near what it was touted at the time. This home at the time the show was made stated a worth of $600,000 it is now a short sale home listed at $290,000 and will be foreclosed on December 1st 2009. Much like many they bought low and then took the equity out with a new loan and are now in the deep end. I can think of three similar homes that were featured on tv shows in the Phoenix area that are now in pre-foreclosure or are now bank owned. Kinda sad that.
: Stunning Mid-century Modern renovation in a most sought after Haver neighborhood of Windemere. This home has been featured in many local & national publications. Wide open spaces, vaulted beamed ceilings, walls of glass, spa like bathroom finishes, stained concrete floors, high-end commercial windows including a 6 foot offset pivot door to the backyard, over 800 s.f. of redwood decking, multiple destinations for outdoor dining & entertaining, and surround sound throughout. Third bedroom currently setup as a den. The landscape was designed by award winning Landscape Architect. The location is superb offering convenience to shopping, the Arcadia neighborhood and easy access to Scottsdale & Downtown Phoenix.

I have no idea how it got on my phone, I know I did not and would never ask for this on my phone, It is so odd.

08:47 pm - facing foreclosure and the people in it.
I have in the last few weeks had the opportunity to speak with folks facing foreclosure. I will be doing this for the foreseeable future. It is amazing the things people divulge to a total stranger even if that stranger is on the end of trying to help them. There are a lot of very dysfunctional families out there; all heterosexual so far. There are a few who did not really get themselves by their own hand in to such a dilemma. These folks I do hope all works for them. Then there are the others, these others so far are in tune that it is all Obama’s fault that they are in position of distress. They hate him for no other reason they have screwed up their own lives and they need to blame it on someone, anyone other than themselves. They have expressed that Obama is spending the USA in to oblivion; yet they do not see this of their own situation. The multiple and I do mean multiple credit cards with huge balances, the seconds and third mortgages all spent on nothing of enduring value. The total blindness of self amazes. I can honestly say I do not know how to feel or react. Well I do know how to react, just sit and listen and pass no visible or verbal judgment. It is truly hard as I am quick to respond to ignorance, but here I can’t. Now if they were actually stupid as described in medical terms then one can forgive and feel a sympathy. But ignorance, how does one bring ones self to the point of caring. Now on to the mortgage lien holders. I am not sure why they do things as they do. After the folks I talk too reach an agreement to mortgage realignment it is often less than helpful in the long run. So why do it? Why put off the inevitable which would be losing the home either by short sale or foreclosure. Why not if one is going to go through paying other entities to get involved in the process and have once again to do it when the homeowner fails? Why not do something that will actually give the odds leaning to success rather than failure? Investors who are now in this position who either live here in Arizona or in other states but own property here in Arizona feel no remorse in walking away from the property without even trying to resolve the problem. Most are not worried about their credit since most are in the toilet already, but they know in Arizona the tax penalty is in their favour.

02:32 pm - The lawn The Lawn
It has only been two weeks since I have mowed the lawn.
My lawn is the hardest lawn I have ever had to mow.
I do not know why.
Never having experienced such difficulty with past lawns, it baffles.
Each time I had planned to mow something kept me from doing so.
So I knew it would much more difficult than usual as I usually mow twice a week.
SOOOOO I have a yard service out there right now mowing.
After one swipe at the lawn, about five feet the guy stopped and said to his coworker.
God this is hard to mow.
Well at least now I know I was not nuts or lazy, but I still feel sorry for them ;-{)
I am having them take it down past the green; it will not be too far off that we will
be putting in the winter lawn.
I can keep it low and green and not have to far to go when it is time.
Man it looks ugly.

11:33 pm - Dinner and did it suck
Tonight for dinner I decided to make a
butter poached steak, with shrimp and a
root vegetable mash.
So I clarified my butter, added garlic, shallots, thyme and two bay leaves.
I brought it to temperature and put in my steak.
140 degrees at 30 minutes.
Got the grill screaming hot to sear it at the end.
It was horrible as were the shrimp.
Salt, this is all I tasted, Salt
Where the hell did the salt come from?
I do not get it......
And yes I used unsalted butter.
I loved the mash, it was quite flavourful.

07:53 pm
Even though I woke up early this morning everything seemed rushed.
MY first thought was mow the lawn since it was garbage day.
So at 6:01 am mow I did, much to my neighbors dismay.
to make his point he let his dog out to bark ;-{)
Next on the agenda was to start writing a contract.
But of course the printer decided to poop out.
So it had to wait until I got to the office.
Make the bed, make the coffee and polish the kitchen,
daily adventures.
Be sure to leave home in time for your meeting at 9 am.
I did and I did.
Set the conference room and get the page you need up on the computer.
Computer not cooperating. So of course my client shows up early.
Get laptop and get it going. Write contract and send to printer.
Printer in conference room not working. Send it via email to
computer in back office, print from that computer.
Sign and send contract off to listing agent.
Now we wait.
I have to remember first time buyers really know nothing.
It seems overwhelming to them, but in fact it is pretty
straight forward.
My concern is more with the buyer than anything else.
Can they really afford to be buying a home.
Yes they qualify for the loan and make enough to cover
the monthly.
But can they afford the living part of it? Most of my first timers are
single females, one paycheck. This of course would apply to a male too,
but in the years I have been doing this I have only had three single males
as clients. Also oddly enough they were all very good looking. My office mates are always wondering why all of my clients are so good looking.
Believe me I have no idea why.
But back to costs. My client today while reading the contract said, I just want
to make sure I do not go in to foreclosure. I pointed out to her the only way she will do this is not to make her payments.
So can you really afford this home, this home having been built in 1945, this home that WILL need fixing even if in great condition. All older homes require
constant care.
So I am one REALTOR who actually worries about the client.
But no talking and or warning seems to make a dent.
OK so I finished with my client and I had planned to drive over
to Scottsdale RD. to return some clothing I bought recently.
I decide to take Thomas RD since it is one I rarely drive.
I get to the store and go around to the back seat passenger side.
I open the door and a flash of memory comes.
I put the package in the back seat of our other car.
Oh well it was a nice drive.
Since I was not far I decided to drive along Mc Donald Dr.
I love this part of Paradise Valley.
It is the area I lived when I first moved to Arizona
many years ago.
Again a very nice drive.
I found I was hungry and there is many a place to grab a bite between
Paradise Valley and my home.
I never did decide on a place to stop.
But I did stop for gas and a browse in Safeway.
Winding up buying some baby back ribs and asparagus.
Got home seasoned the ribs to rest and made some potato salad.
Later grilled the ribs and asparagus to make a very good meal.
Watch some tv and fart around on here is the plan for the rest of it.

02:07 pm
I am watching Mrs. Winterbourne. It is an ok movie with folks I enjoy watching. Brendan Fraser always seemed attractive to me in his pictures, then I see him where he is not made up for a part and find such surprise in that he is not a good looking guy. But I guess that too can be said about a lot of folks in the movie industry.
Can you imagine how gorgeous I would be if I had a makeup guy to fix this mess every day.
Oh well I will just have to settle for brilliance and forget beauty.
Speaking of beauty, it is a nice day in the neighborhood. It is only 105 today and it got down to 89 last night. I guess I should mow the grass.
But running away sounds so much more desirable.
Speaking even further of beauty, addicted to beauty is seems is a new show on tv. I have only seen blurbs about it and from what I can see is not beautiful. But I am not really one who finds faces that look overworked beautiful. Now I have nothing against cosmetic surgery, I would do it myself. But when it is to the point of not a single line or expression to ones face, it has gone too far.
After a three and a half week delay to the closing of one of my listings, we closed yesterday. The buyer it seems was using the company that was shut down by the feds last week for his lending. It is a good thing his mortgage broker was using two lenders to get the loan and the second one came through. It was a very frustrating three weeks to say the least since my seller bought and moved in the new home a day before the expected close of theirs. They must have been strong enough in income to qualify for both homes, but to have to be forced in to two mortgages at once can be unpleasant. So a sigh of relief has been had by all.
Bills keep coming for the procedure Gus had to remove kidney stones a month or so ago. It took less than an hour to rotor rooter him out and so far it is just above 17 grand. How in Gods name does anyone have the nerve to charge such ridiculous amounts of money? Hell we just put out 19 grand for a new leg. And then I just paid 21 bucks for bad Chinese food, when will it ever end?
Gus keeps going in and out of the house; I wonder what he is doing. Must check….
Glue, he is looking for glue.

09:59 pm - An Obama standing at the Gates looking at a Bush and all I hear is a fart.
Ok so President Obama has made his point of view heard in the Gates issue. It seems he is trying to change how we perceive his original words. I think it is too late, but yet he tries. Some say he should never have made his views known, he disagrees. Many say it is a local issue and not a federal one. Mr. Obama disagrees. And this is where my displeasure comes. It is an issue that is close to his heart, so he feels his impute is valid and opinion needed. Even if it as some see it a local issue. So why is our issue of gay marriage to him a local issue and not a concern of the federal, of which he is the leader? To me this just says he really does not care and will not care. I am getting to the point with President Obama as I was with President Bush. When they appear I just turn it off. I am not quite there with Obama but it is getting close. Too many words, well spoken words, but even well spoken words need action.

04:11 pm - Shower power
I gotta wonder why I do things, or don't do things.
For two years now my shower handle was always hard to turn, it was jerky. This home was built for us and I lived with this from day one. I know it was not right, something had to be wrong. But I did nothing about it. All I had to do was call the builder and have him fix it as it was under warranty, but I did nothing.
Two days ago I took a shower, well I take showers every day but this happened two days ago. I tired to turn the water flow off and it handle turned to the off position but the water kept a flowin full force. So we finally called a guy to come over since I could not figure how to get the handle off the wall. I to say the least am not handy in this way. So he comes over and pulls it apart and shows me how the whole thing was slightly bent. He just happened to have one and installed it all in five minutes. It cost very little since the part is guaranteed for life.
The handle glides off and on so smoothly and I have been jerking for two years, why do I do things like this?

10:44 pm - Sedona
Today was supposed to reach 116 degrees. I have no idea if it made it or not. A few days ago I got an email from my friend Meredith asking if I would like to drive up to Sedona with her, so today we did. I have never been with Meredith when she drove, I always drive. I was one raw nerve the whole time. She can not maintain a lane, uses her brakes at the most inappropriate times all the while reducing and or accelerating her speed for no apparent reason. Well we made it home. Other than the fear of a death of huge proportion it was a very nice day. We look in a variety of galleries of which she has bought many an art object. Most is not to my liking, I am much more Anglo Saxon in my taste as apposed to native or primitive. But there were several nice pieces of jewelry to be had, yet remained unbought. We then had lunch as a place called Rene at Tlaquepaque www.rene-sedona.com . I was told is a nice and they, they being Meredith and her husband Mike have enjoyed several meals over time. It is a nice enough place I guess, but not some place I would go back too. The service was very much lacking and the food uninspired. So after we finished up there we went to the gallery which was out intended destination. I knew we were going up to pick up a piece of art she had bought the week before. It turned out to be wearable art in the shape of a purse. I would mention the price for this piece of art, but let’s just say it was more than the price one pays for a designer named brand one pays in a specialty shop. Hey she loves it so why not. It looks like a purse to me ;-{) After we left this shop we drove to the resort called Enchantment. www.enchantmentresort.com/ I had never been and she likes it so off we went for me to see. The setting is undeniable in its natural beauty with the very high red rock ledge of mountain. The resort it self it much too reserved for my taste, rather funereal in its quiet southwestern elegance. I prefer L'Auberge de Sedona www.lauberge.com/?chebs=g_laub

12:40 pm
So far today we have cleaned out the guest bedroom.
It was not dirty; it just needs to be staged for selling.
So now it looks much less cluttered yet still attractive.
The most important thing is to make it look as if anyone could live there.
The new stove was just installed.
We decided to take our overly expensive stove with us. So it now sits in the garage.
The new stove fits the kitchen well.
Later we shall empty all of the cupboards and see what we want to keep.
Some will be packed up to move and the stuff we will not want goes to the charity.
Of course some will remain in the cupboard placed well to look just right.
We have a million books, these books are still in the boxes that we used to move here.
So should we keep them or not? Gus says yes I say no.
Gus I am sure will win ;-{)
I have read them all usually more than once and they are heavy.
We are also trying to decide if we should sell the dining room table.
The problem is we payed about eighteen grand for it and know we will never get anything close for resale. But it has been with us through four homes now. It looks new and will fit in most decors. Decisions, decisions....

03:27 pm - The bouncing head
I am kind of tight with money, I do not like to spend it or lose it. We are cleaning out the house. We have one of everything man ever made it seems. In acquiring these things over the years we did spend a substantial amount. SO the thought was to gather and sell; and gather we did. But the sell part has fallen by the wayside. Gus took upon himself to give it all to a charity his lady friends like. To say I was pissed is putting it mildly. I am not talking about cheap junk here. Well, I do have a very quick temper and know I can do damage when let loose. I quickly went out the front door and wandered aimlessly yelling and waving my arms. This was to avoid the damage I could have done in the house and to Gus. I am sure if anyone noticed they figured I had finally flipped and in a way I did. So now it is several hours later, calmed down and still not happy. But it is gone I just have to get over it. I guess looking good to Gus’ friends is more important than making a few bucks back. Last night and all of today has been spent trying to get two contracts straightened out. One of them I am on the listing side and the other the buyer side. I wonder if the REALTORS on each of these deals are being as honest s they can be. I have had a bad run with less than honorable REALTORS of late and these deals fall through. I always stress that you should be very honest with me, I can handle it, I am a big boy. I can also usually get any problem solved if you just tell me the truth. I don’t even mind doing your work. If it means getting the deal done and I remain in good standing with my clients; all the better. Real estate is losing its charm. Between the dumb ass banks and piss poor realtors. Man am I in a pissy mood or what? I woke today at 3:32 a.m. after going to sleep at midnight. This is a little less than I am used too. It is usually 4 to 6 hours of sleep a night. People tell me that is why I am fat; I say I am fat because I like to eat. So I finished writing a contract and sent it off. I have yet to hear that it was received. So I went outside and watered the potted plants on the patio. Trimmed the trees and bushes out front and finally at 6:15 a.m. mowed the lawn. I bet I am a big hit with the neighbors. But you are not going to find me out is direct sunlight. Made a pot of coffee and polished the granite counters. Put the garbage to the curb and swept the front drive. Turned on the TV and was just in time to see a commercial about vaginas. God why do they do that to us. Hmmm Gus just came in the house and left again quickly. Probably off delivering more of our stuff. So I just; well an hour ago sent off the final paperwork for another contract. Why does no one ever let you know they have received? You will always know I have something with in ten minutes of receiving it. And my pissy mood continues. I just want to crush someone’s head.
